The next day, when the two sisters met, Xie Yunxi became sulky.
Xie Mingxi wore a pink spring dress, her long hair was styled into a double bun, with a few strands of broken hair floating around her ears. She didn't wear any jewelry, only a light pink begonia hairpin.
The flowers are still full of dew, and their fragrance fills your nose.
There is a smile on the lips, the pear dimple is shallow, and the beauty is unparalleled.
Immediately compared to her who is exquisitely crafted and covered with gold and jade!
So irritating!
What's even more irritating is that Xie Mingxi blinked her innocent eyes and said with an expression of merit: "Second sister, I dressed plainly today. I didn't even wear any jewelry. It just complements your gold and jade, and your beauty."
Xie Yunxi: "..."
Xie Yunxi wished she could throw away all the gold hairpins and jade hairpins on her head.
Xie Mingxi asked knowingly: "Why does the second sister look unhappy?"
Xie Yunxi had a stinky face and let the maid next to her help her get into the carriage.
Xie Mingxi smiled leisurely and got on the carriage unhurriedly.
Along the way, my ears were indeed very clean.
…
Xie Yunxi, who had been sulking all the way, felt a little better until he arrived outside the Huainan Prince's Mansion.
Xie Yunxi glanced at Xie Mingxi proudly: "The people who came to attend the cultural gathering today are all noblewomen from the capital. If you hadn't benefited from me, how would you, a mere concubine, have the chance to enter and leave the Huainan Prince's Mansion!"
"When you enter the palace, you should follow me carefully and don't move around or talk nonsense, so as not to embarrass yourself and make a fool of yourself."
Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "Second sister should also remember mother's advice. Today at the Literary Society, second sister must not write poems or paintings in public, lest her mediocre handwriting fall on people's eyes. In the future, I want to take your place in the college entrance examination.
Writing a pen can also arouse suspicion."
After finishing speaking, he said sympathetically: "I heard that the second sister practices calligraphy every day and is quite diligent. However, her talent is limited, and no matter how hard she practices, she is still far behind me."
Xie Yunxi: "..."
I was choked again and almost couldn't get up.
Xie Yunxi is arrogant by nature, and has never suffered from such idleness. From the morning to this moment, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up suddenly: "Xie Mingxi..."
I completely forgot that I had not gotten off the carriage yet.
"Hey!"
His head suddenly hit the roof of the car.
The beautiful bun that took half an hour to be combed was no longer smooth and smooth after being hit like this.
Xie Yunxi's eyes were filled with tears from the pain, and she was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead.
Xie Mingxi took a glance and laughed: "Second sister looks like this, she is really going to 'steal the limelight' today!"
Xie Yunxi was so angry that she almost cried!
Rouge, the maid outside the carriage, heard something was wrong and immediately got on the carriage to tidy up Xie Yunxi's appearance. Xie Yunxi didn't bother to bicker with Xie Mingxi and said hurriedly: "Bring a mirror quickly."
At this moment, another carriage slowly arrived.
Xie Mingxi glanced briefly, then slowly raised the corners of her mouth.
What a coincidence, it was Li Mansion's carriage that came!
…
The Qi Dynasty paid equal attention to civil and military affairs, with military power mostly concentrated in the hands of vassal kings and generals, while the civil officials were headed by cabinet ministers.
There are five cabinet elders in the cabinet. The first assistant, Mr. Lu Ge, is highly respected and has great prestige in the court. Mr. Li Ge, the second assistant in the dynasty, has many disciples and a good official reputation, second only to Mr. Lu Ge.
Li Xiangru has outstanding talent and appearance, and is good at playing the piano. Among all his granddaughters, he is the favorite of Mr. Li Ge.
Back then, Concubine Li, the birth mother of the fourth prince, chose Li Xiangru. She was not only interested in her talent and beauty, but more importantly, the Li family behind Li Xiangru.
Marriage is the fastest way to win over the Li family. The fourth prince ascended the throne and Li Xiangru was named the queen of the main palace. The Li family was promoted to the descendant clan. After Lu Ge became an official, Li Ge naturally became the first assistant.
Power reigns supreme.
Unfortunately, the Li family did not end well in the end.
The unsympathetic and suspicious Emperor Jianwu was quite afraid of Mr. Li Ge, who was his chief minister. After enduring it for a few years and securing the throne, he began to attack the Li family.
As a member of the middle palace, Li Xiangru naturally became a target for eradication.
If not for Emperor Jianwu's acquiescence and connivance, how could she, a concubine with no family support, defeat the empress of the middle palace?
Because she had a peek into Emperor Jianwu's mind and did what Emperor Jianwu wanted to do but was inconvenient to do, she really won Emperor Jianwu's favor and left all the palace affairs in her hands.
…
The old enemy who died at her hands in the previous life was now just an eleven-year-old girl. With the help of the maid, she got off the carriage gracefully.
She has an oval face, fair and delicate skin, and a pair of black eyes as bright as autumn water under her slender willow-like eyebrows. She is wearing a blue-colored robe. She is not a stunning figure, but she is still outstandingly beautiful.
The brilliance is exposed and the behavior is calm.
In terms of appearance alone, Xie Yunxi is more beautiful than Li Xiangru.
In terms of temperament, Li Xiangru is definitely better than Xie Yunxi.
Naturally, Xie Yunxi and Li Xiangru had known each other for a long time. They glanced at each other jealously and snorted with pretended disdain: "Pretentious all day long!"
In the face of the "foreign enemy", Xie Yunxi has no time to be angry with Xie Mingxi anymore, and half reminds and half warns: "She is Li Xiangru. She and I have never been on good terms. You are not allowed to talk to her later, do you hear me?"
Xie Mingxi didn't answer but asked: "What's the issue between the second sister and her?"
Empress Li and Concubine Yun, who would later vow to be at odds with each other, were still half-grown girls at this time. They were each coddled in the boudoir and only had the chance to meet when they went out as guests. How could there be any deep hatred?
It's just that Li Xiangru's family is outstanding in talents and studies, and he is sought after by everyone wherever he goes, making the petty Xie Yunxi envious and jealous.
Sure enough, Xie Yunxi held it in for a long time without saying a word, and then snorted heavily: "Anyway, just do as I say."
Xie Mingxi smiled understandingly and got off the carriage with Xie Yunxi.
"So it's Sister Xie," Li Xiangru greeted with a smile, looking elegant and generous.
Xie Yunxi refused to lose the battle, so she smiled reservedly: "It's a coincidence that I went to the palace with Sister Li today."
Li Xiangru glanced at Xie Mingxi's face, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "I wonder who this girl is? She looks so unfamiliar!"
There are few noble ladies in the capital whom Li Xiangru doesn't recognize.
The girl in front of me, even though she is still young, has a beauty and beauty that I have never seen before.
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "I am the youngest daughter of the Xie family, my maiden name is Mingxi."
It turned out to be the concubine of the Xie family.
Li Xiangru's attitude suddenly became a little colder. He nodded slightly and stepped into the Huainan Prince's Mansion.
There is a difference between direct descendants and concubines.
As Li Xiang was the eldest daughter of the family, all the people he interacted with on weekdays were legitimate ladies or noble daughters of the clan. He didn't even bother to call a concubine a sister.
Xie Yunxi gloated at Xie Mingxi, who was being ignored with contempt: "Look, others heard that you are a commoner and they don't want to pay attention to you at all."
Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "She doesn't want to pay attention to me at this time. There will always be a day when she regrets it. When the time comes, I will kneel down and beg you, but I won't pay attention."
Xie Yunxi: "..."
Even she didn't dare to say that.
Where did Xie Mingxi get the confidence and confidence to speak so brazenly?
