After being married to the fourth prince for more than a year, no matter when and where, Li Xiangru always looked sweet and loving when he mentioned the fourth prince. The sourness and pain in his heart never showed up.
In front of Xie Mingxi, Li Xiangru refused to reveal even the slightest bit, and immediately showed her shyness at the right time.
Xie Mingxi laughed in her heart and asked deliberately: "Sister Li and the fourth prince are very much in love with each other. I think there will be good news soon."
Li Xiangru's heart and lungs were stabbed so hard that she pretended to smile shyly and said: "Sister Xiao got married two months earlier than me. You didn't rush her, but you pushed me."
Xiao Yuhan bit her lower lip gently, her eyes shining with joy.
Li Xiangru's heart sank.
Sure enough, I heard Xiao Yuhan chuckle and say: "I'm still young, and the fetus is not yet firmly seated. However, there are no outsiders here, so it doesn't matter what I said. Just don't spread the word outside."
Xiao Yuhan is actually pregnant!
All the girls immediately expressed their congratulations.
Xie Mingxi was also a little surprised, and smiled apologetically: "If I had known you were pregnant, I wouldn't have asked anyone to send you an invitation."
With their friendship as classmates, she sent the post, how could Xiao Yuhan not come?
Xiao Yuhan pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly: "We have been classmates for several years, what a friendship we have. I will definitely come to your hair extensions ceremony today. I will not go to watch the ceremony later. I will stay in your boudoir for a while.
Sit for a moment."
Xie Mingxi smiled and nodded, then looked at Yin Xiaoxiao: "Please, Sister Yin, please stay too! Let's talk with Sister Xiao."
Yin Xiaoxiao immediately nodded in agreement. She and Xiao Yuhan were the best friends. Furthermore, she was already getting married, so it was inappropriate to watch the ceremony in public, so there was no harm in staying.
Everyone was talking and laughing, except Li Xiangru, whose heart seemed to be fried in oil, and the smile he squeezed out seemed a bit stiff no matter how you looked at it.
…
The grand haircut ceremony takes a long time, taking up to two hours.
Xie Mingxi was given to the fourth prince as a concubine when she was fourteen years old in her previous life. On the day of her wedding ceremony, she spent the day alone and deserted.
In this life, the house was full of friends, teachers, relatives and friends. Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, everyone had smiles on their faces, like stars holding the moon, surrounding her.
Who is not vain? Who doesn’t like such a radiant moment?
Xie Mingxi admitted without any pretense that she was in a very good mood today.
However, Yan Zhenzhen, who had been extremely confident before, was almost dumbfounded when she saw the crowd of guests.
Yan Zhenzhen's legs were a little weak, and the hand holding Xie Mingxi's arm shivered: "Thank you, sister Xie, why are there so many people?"
What should I do if she looks dizzy?
Xie Mingxi smiled and glanced at Yan Zhenzhen: "What's wrong? Are you a little scared? If you are timid, it's still too late to change."
Yan Zhenzhen immediately straightened her chest, her legs were no longer weak, her hands were no longer trembling, and she spoke with sufficient confidence: "Don't underestimate others, I'm not timid!"
Xie Mingxi was too lazy to expose the fierce-looking Yan Zhenzhen.
If you're really not timid, just don't hold on to her arm all the time!
Gu Shanchang also looked over and said warmly: "The haircut ceremony is the most important day in a girl's life. Yan Zhenzhen, since you are praising Mingxi today, you must not be cowardly and disobedient, so as not to disturb Mingxi.
If you don't show your hair the right way, it will leave a bad impression on everyone."
what to do?
What should I do if the mountain leader said this and she became even more nervous?
Yan Zhenzhen was secretly beating her heart.
Somehow, she suddenly remembered the day of the college competition a few years ago. Before the competition, she was so confident. But when she got to the stage, she suddenly became confused and her mind went blank. Everything was messed up!
Today, will she wash away her shame, or will she make the same mistakes again?
…
Today, Yan Zhenzhen should not be too nervous and make a fool of herself again!
Xie Mingxi looked as usual, but also felt a little worried.
It's the only time in life that you give your hair a haircut, so of course it's best to make no mistakes.
Yan Zhenzhen's pride and self-confidence have been severely defeated. In the past few years, Yan Zhenzhen has never mentioned it in her mouth, but in fact she has never really forgotten it in her heart. It is like falling down once and trying to stand up at the same place.
, is by no means easy.
However, Xie Mingxi had no time to think anymore.
When the ceremony of hair-raising had officially begun, she stood upright and calmly listened to Chief Gu Shanzhang's instructions.
What Yan Zhenzhen had to do was actually very simple. After Chief Gu finished speaking, he presented the tray in front of Chief Gu, who picked up the hairpin from the tray and tied it in Xie Mingxi's hair.
.
However, in front of everyone, Yan Zhenzhen, who has always been by Xie Mingxi's side, is also in the spotlight. All the subtle movements cannot make any difference.
The posture should be elegant, the breathing should be gentle, the smile should be gentle, and the timing of presenting the hairpin should be just right.
Yan Zhenzhen, you have to hold on!
Xie Mingxi knelt down in front of Chief Gu. Yan Zhenzhen calmed down, stepped forward with the hairpin and presented it respectfully. Chief Gu glanced at Yan Zhenzhen approvingly, took the hairpin, and placed it in Xie Mingxi's hair.
.
Fortunately nothing went wrong!
Yan Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Mingxi was also completely relieved. When she stood up, she quickly exchanged a knowing smile with Yan Zhenzhen.
…
Most of the guests who came to watch the ceremony were women. The men were either in the main hall or standing far away.
As a father, Xie Jun has been standing aside today, full of joy and pride.
"I heard that Mr. Xie has gone to the Ministry of Household Affairs to serve as a doctor."
"The Ministry of Finance is the most popular place among the six departments. I never expected that the post of Doctor of the Ministry of Finance would fall to Mr. Xie."
"This is not surprising. Miss Xie San is the future seventh prince's concubine. In order to please the beauty, His Highness the seventh prince personally went to the emperor to find a serious job for his future father-in-law. The emperor will never disapprove of such things.
.”
"The rest of the princes and concubines are all from well-known families, but Miss Xie San is not from a very high background. It is reasonable to give Mr. Xie a promotion before the seventh prince's wedding."
Naturally, the whole reason why Xie Jun went to the Ministry of Household Affairs could not be hidden from the well-informed important ministers in the court. The female relatives at home also heard about it.
While Xie Mingxi was changing her dress, several high-ranking ladies started chatting in low voices.
A wife is as noble as her husband. The higher her husband's official position, the higher her own status. Among the several imperial ladies, the wife of Mr. Zhao Ge has the highest status.
Mrs. Zhao also had some selfish motives for visiting Xie's Mansion in person.
The older children of the Zhao family are all married, but the marriage of the youngest son Zhao Qi has not yet been settled. When you get older and have a son, you will inevitably be pampered.
Zhao Qi insisted on marrying a girl of his choice.
Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to try her best and look around without leaving any trace.
Only those with good appearance, talent, character, and good family background can win Mrs. Zhao's eyes. Thinking about it this way, isn't it true that the students of Lotus Pond Academy are the most outstanding?
Mrs. Zhao's eyes fell on Yan Zhenzhen. (To be continued)
