In her previous life, starting from the age of ten, Xie Mingxi lived under the "halo" of her elder sister Xie Yunxi.
In front of others, she never recited poems or played the piano or painted. She suppressed all the light, just to not attract attention. As a concubine, she followed Xie Yunxi quietly.
All of Xie Yunxi's stunning poems and paintings are all written by her.
Xie Yunxi became famous in the capital for her "double excellence in poetry and painting". Combined with her outstanding appearance, she was finally selected into the list of the four princes' concubines.
The only shortcoming is that he comes from a slightly lower background. Xie Jun has always been a fourth-rank official, and he is really not eye-catching in the capital where there are many powerful people. Even Princess Yongning devoted her whole heart to planning for Xie Yunxi, but she could not compete with Mr. Li Ge's granddaughter.
Li Xiangru.
Finally, when Fengzhi granted marriage, Li Xiangru became the fourth prince's concubine.
Xie Yunxi succumbed to the position of concubine.
The status of the prince's concubine is one level lower than that of the principal concubine, but she is also qualified to be included in the Royal Jade Butterfly and can raise her children personally. The Sacred Heart has been revealed, and the fourth prince will be established as the crown prince of the East Palace. Being the fourth prince's concubine will not be a title in the future.
The concubine's position means a lifetime of glory and wealth.
Considering Xie Yunxi's background, it can't be considered an insult to her.
Xie Yunxi was unwilling to accept the resentment in her heart, so she had no choice but to respectfully accept the marriage proposal. Then, Xie Yunxi did a staggeringly stupid thing.
On the occasion of the King of Huainan's birthday, the fourth prince was invited to a banquet. Xie Yunxi wrote a poem in private, bribed the servants of the Huainan Prince's Mansion with a large sum of money, and quietly delivered it to the fourth prince while the wine was being poured. He never thought that the people around the fourth prince would
The guards were very alert and caught him on the spot.
The light pink poem raft with touching love poems floated down in front of everyone.
The sharp-eyed young man caught a glimpse of the word "xi" in the signature, and immediately joked: "Concubine Xie has already sent her heart to His Highness the Fourth Prince before she has even passed the door. She even wrote a love poem and sent it to her. It's really enviable."
The person who made the statement was Li Mo, Li Xiangru’s brother.
At first glance it sounds like a joke, but upon closer inspection, it turns out to have ulterior motives.
It is definitely not a good thing for a boudoir girl who is not yet married to have the reputation of giving and receiving privately. What's more, the Tian family values their rules. Xie Yunxi's behavior is extremely out of line and extremely inappropriate.
When Xie Yunxi learned that her poem had been exposed, she was frightened and frightened. She ran to Princess Yongning and cried. Princess Yongning immediately called Xie Yuanting and gave her instructions.
Then, Xie Yuanting apologized to the Fourth Prince in public: "...The third sister admired His Highness the Fourth Prince. She was confused for a moment and did something wrong. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."
She, the third young lady of the Xie family, became famous in the capital in just half a day.
Later, with her reputation completely ruined, she was sent to the Fourth Prince's Mansion in a soft sedan chair and became the Fourth Prince's concubine.
Xie Yunxi, who escaped the catastrophe, married into the Fourth Prince's Mansion as a side concubine half a year later.
In the following four years, she became a pawn in Xie Yunxi's hands. There were constant disputes in the prince's palace, and she was involved in danger many times. It was not until the critical moment of life and death that she suddenly realized and cut off the so-called family relationship. She secretly took refuge in Li Xiangru and borrowed the help of the queen of the palace.
use his strength to deal with Xie Yunxi.
Three years later, Xie Yunxi was hanged with three feet of white silk in Qiongyu Palace.
On that day, she was promoted from noble status to Zhaorong, ranking ninth concubine.
…
Xie Yunxi clearly spotted Xie Mingxi from the corner of her eye, but ignored her and reached out to help the girl in purple get out of the carriage.
This purple-clothed girl is one year older than Xie Yunxi, with a slightly round face and slightly flat facial features. She can be considered pretty by herself, but standing next to the bright Xie Yunxi, she immediately pales in comparison.
The girl in purple raised her face slightly, looking a bit more proud than Xie Yunxi.
This girl in purple is none other than Xie Yunxi's cousin Sheng Jinyue.
It has been more than two hundred years since the founding of the Qi Dynasty. The descendants of the Tian family have prospered, and the royal family has been passed down and multiplied for several generations, and the number is astonishingly huge.
The King of Huainan was the direct cousin of the emperor. He was in charge of the clan mansion and held real power. He was highly valued and trusted by Emperor Jianwen. No one in the royal clan could surpass him.
The King of Huainan has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son has long been designated as the heir apparent, and Sheng Jinyue is the only legitimate daughter of the prince of Huainan! Of course she has the right to be proud!
Sheng Jinyue glanced around and noticed Xie Mingxi.
It’s impossible not to pay attention!
Waiting here are all maids and servants. Xie Mingxi, who has an unparalleled appearance, stands among them, shining like a pearl and cannot be ignored.
At this glance, Sheng Jinyue suddenly felt something strange and whispered: "Cousin Yunxi, who is that girl? Why do she have similar facial features to my uncle?"
This question immediately hit Xie Yunxi's pain point.
Xie Jun is known as the most beautiful man in the capital, and his appearance is unparalleled in the world. Xie Yuanting, the son, is far less charming than his father when he was young.
Although she prides herself on her beauty, she also knows that she is not one of the most beautiful women in the world.
What is hateful is that the youngest concubine is not only extremely smart, but also inherited her father's outstanding appearance. She is only ten years old and is already so beautiful...
Huh! What does it matter no matter how beautiful she is? Shouldn’t it be a stepping stone for her?
Thinking of what Princess Yongning said two days ago, Xie Yunxi's sullenness disappeared, and a disdainful sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth: "She is the concubine Xie Mingxi I told you about!"
Oh!
It turned out to be the concubine of the Xie family!
Sheng Jinyue also smiled contemptuously.
As a legitimate daughter, she naturally disdained to interact with concubines. If she hadn't met by chance today, she would never have condescended to talk to Xie Mingxi.
The two girls stood there, waiting for Xie Mingxi to come forward with a humble and flattering smile to show her kindness.
Then, Xie Mingxi turned around and walked towards Dingxiang Tower.
Xie Yunxi: "..."
Sheng Jinyue: "..."
…
hateful!
He clearly saw them, but regarded them as nothing!
How dare this concubine Xie Mingxi ignore them!
They are all proud girls of eleven or twelve years old. Even some city officials cannot hold back at this time.
Xie Yunxi was furious, gritted his teeth and yelled: "Stop!"
Xie Mingxi seemed not to hear anything and continued to move forward.
Xie Yunxi couldn't help but shouted again. However, Xie Mingxi didn't seem to hear him and walked forward slowly.
Sheng Jinyue looked quite ugly and snorted lightly.
In anger, Xie Yunxi picked up her skirt, ran forward quickly, blocked Xie Mingxi's way, and said angrily: "Xie Mingxi, I called you twice, why did you turn a deaf ear?"
Xie Mingxi showed just the right amount of surprise: "It turns out that the person who screamed like a shrew just now was actually the second sister!"
Xie Yunxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi advised her with concern: "There are people coming and going here, so the second sister should speak softly and slowly. It is always bad to have a reputation of being aggressive and unruly. If my mother finds out, she will inevitably get angry and scold her."
Xie Yunxi: "..."
Xie Yunxi's pretty face turned red with anger, and her bright almond eyes stared at Xie Mingxi fiercely.
What a shame, there were a bunch of maids and servants around who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. They all looked over with interest, their eyes wide open and their ears perked up.
After a long while, Xie Yunxi gritted his teeth and whispered: "I will settle this account with you slowly in the future. Come with me first and give a gift to cousin Jinyue."
Princess Yongning is Xie Mingxi's aunt, and in terms of etiquette, Huainan Palace is Xie Mingxi's uncle's family. It is only right to call Sheng Jinyue cousin.
Xie Mingxi agreed with a smile, then Xie Yunxi stepped forward, bowed and called her cousin.
Sheng Jinyue hummed through her nose, but did not return the greeting.
Xie Yunxi felt sulky and finally had a smile on her face.
Then, Xie Mingxi came over and whispered: "Second sister, no wonder you often say that my cousin is plain, arrogant and rude. When I saw her today, it turned out to be true."
