royal girl

Chapter 107 The Truth
The afternoon sun was a little hot, Huiyu stood outside the courtyard gate of Liufangwu, looking at the tightly closed gate, with a calm expression, without saying a word.

Xueqi glanced at Huiyu, and quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door. The knocking sound was especially crisp in this slightly quiet space.Soon the door was opened, and a head poked out from inside. When the doorkeeper woman saw Xueqi, her face was full of smiles, "Oh, Miss Xueqi, you are..." Before she could say anything, After that, I saw Huiyu and his party, and the woman's face turned pale with fright. Now that the second girl is the prince and concubine, who dares to neglect her, she immediately opened the door and came out to greet her.

"Greetings to the second girl, hello to the second girl." The woman cried in her heart that it's unlucky, why is she on duty today.

"I'll take a look at big sister, you go and report." Huiyu said coldly as she looked at the old woman without talking nonsense.

Recently, there has been a lot of commotion in the Duke's Mansion. Although the news has been blocked, there are still rumors. After all, the eldest girl was selected for the draft, but the second girl who did not participate in the election was accused of being the concubine. Hehe, this There must be something going on in there.It's just that these low-level slaves don't know it.

"Yes, yes, this old slave will go now." The old lady didn't dare to offend Dong Huiyu, let alone the prince and concubine now, even the former second girl would not dare to offend her.

Huiyu was waiting outside, and soon the eldest girl beside Dong Wan, Ziyuan, came out in person. Her eyes turned red when she saw Huiyu, and she hurriedly lowered her head, "Servant please greet the second girl, our girl invites the girl in."

Huiyu looked at Ziyuan's expression as if something was wrong, why did she look like she was about to cry when she saw her.Huiyu didn't ask, but just stepped in the door.

The room was quiet, as if there was no breath at all, which was quite different from the lively scene before.But also, when something like this happened, how could Dong Wan have the face to face everyone.

Zizhu opened the curtain from the inside, bowed his knees, "Hello, Second Miss, our girl is waiting for you."

Huiyu nodded, and went straight in, but Zizhu pulled down the curtain but stopped Xueqi Xueying outside, and invited the two of them to drink tea with a smile, "Girls have something to say, let's be servants outside to take orders. Yes, the two sisters said, right?"

Xueqi and Xueying looked at each other, smiled, and said without forcing, "It's true, one of our sisters should stay outside this door, so that the girl doesn't even have one."

Xueying voluntarily stayed and stayed with her voluntarily, Zizhu took Xueqi to the side room to drink tea.

When Huiyu entered the door, she felt cold for no reason. It was already summer, but the room was like severe winter, and people couldn't feel the slightest warmth.

"You came."

Dong Wan's voice was dull, she was wearing a homely autumn-colored jacket, her hair was pulled up casually, and she wore a plain silver hairpin, she seemed to have lost that freshness.

Huiyu couldn't help being taken aback, it stands to reason that Dong Wan should be happy that her wish was fulfilled, how could she behave like this?
"Sit." Dong Wan turned around, put down the embroidery in her hands, and then looked up at Huiyu, "Second sister must hate me to death."

Huiyu sat down opposite Dong Wan, looked at her carefully, always felt that something was wrong with Dong Wan, and said, "That's not true, but big sister really hurt me this time. I just wanted to ask why big sister To do this?"

"In the eyes of the second sister, what kind of person am I?"

Dong Wan changed the topic suddenly, Hui Yu couldn't help but frowned, but didn't answer.However, Huiyu has already noticed that something is wrong with Dong Wan like this, it is completely different from what she expected. Could there be some other secret behind it?
"Second sister don't talk, let me tell. I have been taught since I was a child to be a qualified eldest daughter of an aristocratic family, to be appropriate in words and deeds, to be gentle with others, and to be kind in doing things. Fame is more important than life. After so many years I've been doing this all the time, before entering the palace, my grandmother specially told me something, telling me to remember the Dong family's family motto, so I don't want to lose face of the Dong family."

Huiyu looked at Dong Wan and her blank face, feeling a little ominous in her heart, "Big sister did a good job before, everyone praised her, but Huiyu is absolutely inferior."

When Dong Wan heard this, she glanced at Hui Yu and said, "Does the second younger sister think that such a me will really do things for my own self-interest, disregarding my family, disregarding my face and life?"

Hui Yu was silent, it's hard to talk about a woman in love, but she couldn't say this in front of Dong Wan, she could only be silent.

"I won't!" Dong Wan sneered, she didn't know if she was laughing at herself or someone else, but this smile made Huiyu's skin pimples pop out.

Huiyu looked at Dong Wan, only to hear a few words coming out of her teeth, "Xia Bingyu, that bitch, I can't spare her!"

"What's going on?" Huiyu looked at Dong Wan, and told her intuitively that Dong Wan didn't lie, there must be something hidden in it, but Dong Wan's scheming is not inferior, how could she be tricked to such a degree, They all went to be concubines.

"I said I didn't have a private meeting with the second prince, does the second sister believe me?"

"I'll believe it if you tell me."

Dong Wan stared at Dong Huiyu in a daze, she probably didn't expect Dong Huiyu to treat her like this at this time, tears couldn't stop falling down, covering her face with her hands, Dong Wan fell on the table and choked up in a low voice.The trembling and undulating body made Huiyu feel very sad. He sighed lightly, but didn't persuade her. It's easy to hurt internally if you hold it in your heart, so it's better to cry.

After a while, Dong Wan gradually stopped, Hui Yu handed over the handkerchief, she took the handkerchief and wiped her face, when she turned her head, her eyes were red, she looked at Hui Yu, "I thought the second sister would hit me first when she rushed in. Take a breath, let's talk again."

"It used to be."

Dong Wan didn't expect Hui Yu to answer so neatly and couldn't help but stare, Hui Yu raised her eyebrows, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Can you tell me what's going on now?" Huiyu was actually very curious. In this draft, besides the main concubines who were married to several princes, there were also side concubines, such as Ji Qiyu. The two side concubines were just ignored by Huiyu, and they didn't even ask which family the side concubine was from.In addition to these, there are also beautiful women left by the emperor in the palace, and the rest all put down their cards and went home to marry themselves.Basically, those who stayed in the palace, except for Xia Yingbai who came from a family, the rest were mostly local.The candidates for the prince and concubine are evenly matched, and the candidates for the side concubine, except for Dong Wan, do not have a particularly bright family background, so in this draft, the daughters of the other aristocratic families who are the daughters of the royal family and the court officials are equivalent to a white election. The circle is back again.People like Guo Tong like this result the most, and they wish they could not be selected.

Dong Wan went through the draft this time, and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and her eyes became bigger and bigger.The long eyelashes were half down, looking at the bone china teacup in his hand, and he said after a while: "If Xia Yingbai hadn't been this time... Xia Guiren, what you've seen is my dead body. "

Hui Yu had just swallowed a sip of tea and almost choked herself to death. She hurriedly wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and looked at Dong Wan in astonishment, "So dangerous?"

Dong Wan nodded, "Presumably you should also know about the incident of falling into the water some time ago."

Huiyu nodded, the news was very lively, how could she not know.

"It is said that the beautiful girl who pushed people into the water was instigated by Xia Shuhui, and then intended to blame Xia Guiren. When the crowd was crowded, Chu Jing and Chu Hanqing pushed me into the water because there were rumors that I was accused Married to the fourth prince, and Chu Jing has a secret affection for the fourth prince, is that the case?"

Huiyu nodded, it was true, "That's the way it is said outside, but I don't know how to see it that way."

Dong Wan turned her head in doubt, with a thoughtful face, and then looked at Huiyu, "What's the difference between the second sister?"

"First, Xia Shuhui was raised by Aunt Gao with a somewhat impetuous temperament and arrogant words and deeds. How could such a person have the intention to provoke others without being noticed by others? Second, Xia Guiren has long been wary of this concubine sister, how could she be easily tricked? Thirdly, even if Chu Jing doesn’t want to lose face anymore, she definitely doesn’t dare to make fun of the reputation of Duke Ling’s mansion. Song Laofeng has long been known for his strict family management, and Chu Jing doesn’t have the guts. Be extra cautious about the surrounding environment, how can you be easily harmed by others? In my opinion, the clothes on the outside are all fake, I am afraid that the eldest sister was tricked by someone you think is harmless. "

Dong Wan seemed to be seeing Huiyu for the first time, with deep surprise in her eyes, "Is this all your own thinking?"

"I didn't expect it at the beginning, and I also felt that although the rumors were a little unreliable, they might not all be false. But the behavior of the big sister just now made me realize that I'm afraid everyone was deceived." Huiyu was indeed I didn't think of this, but Dong Wan's words about Xia Bingyu, this bitch, made her many things she couldn't figure out gradually clear.

"Second sister, it's really different, but I pretended to be arrogant, and I ended up hurting myself." Dong Wan looked disappointed, "You are right, Xia Shuhui is indeed courageous and has no scheming, it is Xia Bingyu who pretended to be with Xia Shuhui. The closeness makes everyone feel that Xia Shuhui has more chances than Xia Guiren, so some people will take the initiative to curry favor with Xia Shuhui, wanting to follow Xia Bingyu's footsteps and get Xia Zhaoyi's favor."

Xia Zhaoyi not only has the emperor's favor, but also raises the emperor's favorite son. Even though she is not a concubine, she has the right to speak in the palace, and taking this road can be regarded as a shortcut.
