I wish you two lifetimes

Outside the palace gate, Xiangdong had already been waiting, she saw a red figure rushing towards her from a distance, stepping into the carriage with one stride, the surrounding maids and guards were not surprised, but every time she would be amazed by her swift steps. Arrived, everyone turned around and coughed in embarrassment.

They saw nothing, saw nothing.

"What are you in such a hurry for?" Xiangdong grabbed the hurried Xiangnu and looked at her puzzled.

Shannu shrugged, expressing that he didn't know either.

"I put the birthday gift in the carriage behind, don't forget it." Xiangdong was worried, as Xiangnu was too easy to forget things sometimes.

"What are you still doing, why don't you leave quickly." Liu Chupei opened the sedan chair curtain and looked into the distance, but there was no one there, so calm down, if you wait a little longer, the people sent by the queen mother should arrive.

"Come on, princess." Xiang Nu got into the carriage, opened the curtain slightly, and told the guard driving, "Guard Liu, you can go."

"Yes!" The carriage drove forward slowly.

Sitting next to Liu Chupei, Xiang Nu saw her somewhat messy hair, "Princess, Anu, let me give you another haircut."

Liu Chupei didn't refuse, she just ran all the way, her face was flushed red, better than the morning glow.

Xie's Mansion is just to the south of the city, Liu Chupei asked someone to take a shortcut, but within half an hour he saw Xie's Mansion.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Xie's mansion, Xiang Nu got out of the car first, opened the car curtain, set up a car stool, and helped Liu Chupei get out of the carriage slowly.

"Fifth Princess." Several people came from the door and saluted one after another.

"Uncle Xie." Liu Chupei stepped forward and smiled obediently, "Today, just treat me as a junior who came to celebrate Grandpa Xie's birthday, don't care about your status, otherwise I will feel very uncomfortable."

"Etiquette cannot be discarded." Xie Yuanzheng turned sideways, "Please let the princess come in and take her seat."

Liu Chupei nodded and walked towards the mansion. Before entering the gate, a figure suddenly appeared from behind the gate.

The visitor was dressed in black brocade clothes, the sleeves were inlaid with gold threads, and a piece of white jade was tied around his waist.

"Thank you, Third Young Master, if you don't stay inside, you still want to come out to welcome the guests?" Liu Chupei could not help teasing him when she saw who was coming.

"Did you see that I came to pick up other people? This is not to pick you up." Xie Heng leaned on the door, looking at the person in front of him with surprise in his eyes.

A red suit wraps her whole body inside, making her even more charming and charming. The red lotus on her forehead reveals a touch of mature coquettishness, but it is not obtrusive on her body. Look, it looks like a little fox in winter.

"Is this the one I gave you?" No wonder he looks familiar. The fox fur used for this cloak is all foxes he hunted himself. I'm afraid he can't get the complete fox fur. He captures them alive and spends a lot of effort. , he recognized it at a glance.

"Well, it looks good." Liu Chupei looked at him expectantly, even though she knew that Xie Heng's dog's mouth couldn't spit out ivory.

"It's average, and I can barely read it." Xie Heng pretended to be embarrassed, and glanced at it indifferently.

"Hmph!" She knew it, she lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked into Xie's mansion. She could leave Xie's mansion with her eyes closed, so she didn't need him to lead the way.

"Hey! Why are you walking so fast!" Seeing her walking so fast, Xie Heng hurriedly chased after her, "Actually, it's quite pretty, very pretty."

Liu Chupei ignored him.

"I secretly left you two jars of wine, and I'll take them back when you return to the palace." Seeing that she ignored him, he was not in a hurry. He knew exactly what her culprit was.

Sure enough, the footsteps in front of him paused and slowed down.

"Four altars!" Liu Chupei turned around, not to be outdone.

"Okay!" Xie Heng had a smile on his face, "Ah Chu, when is the day you and Ji Li were married?"

"Hmm...it seems to be May [-]th, what's wrong?" Liu Chupei looked at him suspiciously.

"It's nothing, just asking." Xie Heng caught up with her, walked to her side, lowered his voice, "It's time to get married when you're old, which family did the emperor and empress choose for you?"

Liu Chupei was taken aback, she didn't expect Xie Heng to ask her this, "I don't know, they never mentioned this to me."

Xie Heng chuckled, "It seems that the people in Jiankang City know your temperament, so they dare not propose marriage, for fear that when the time comes, you will marry an ancestor who goes to heaven and earth all day long."

"Tch, isn't it true that people have self-knowledge and feel that they are not good enough for me, so they are embarrassed to propose marriage?" Liu Chupei gave him a dissatisfied look. It really is a dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory. Fortunately, she has known him for several years. Get used to his tone of voice.

"Look at all the ladies, who is as thick-skinned as you?" Xie Heng was teased by her, "But it doesn't matter, if no one wants you, I will reluctantly marry you home as a good deed." Be virtuous, lest you harm his family."

"Are you sure this isn't harming me?" Liu Chupei couldn't help but shudder, thinking of the scene after marrying him, she panicked, Xie Mansion could be demolished by them.

"I won't tell you, I'll go in first, you can do it yourself." Seeing that Liu Chupei had reached the entrance of the yard, she waved her hand to let him go.

"Okay." Xie Heng just smiled and stopped in his footsteps. No one noticed the disappointment in his eyes.

"If there is anything, you can send someone to report to me." Xie Heng never worried that she would suffer any loss by herself, but was just afraid that she would be bored, so it was enough for the two of them to find a reason to run out.

Liu Chupei nodded.

"The fifth princess has arrived—" The boy standing outside the yard announced to the yard, the originally noisy yard became quiet, and everyone got up to salute.

"Exemption." Liu Chupei's demeanor was dignified, and no one could fault it.

"Princess, please take a seat." Standing aside, Xie Yun, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, led Liu Chupei to the seat and sat down.

Today, the Xie family held a flowing water banquet, with curved water surrounding the courtyard, and a stone bridge separating the two sides. The female relatives are at one end, and the male guests are at the other end. sound.

Today, Liu Chupei's outfit is really eye-catching, someone from the other side of the male guest has already looked over slightly, but they can only see a little bit of beauty behind the plum blossoms.

The more unseen, the more curious, some people have never seen Liu Chupei, but she is really famous in Jiankang City, everyone wants to meet this fifth princess.

On the side of the female relatives, they restrained a little, but there were still people secretly looking in Liu Chupei's direction.

Several young ladies from aristocratic families who came to this kind of banquet for the first time saw her with amazement in their eyes and a little jealous in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it, and discussed in a low voice with a few acquaintances around them.

There are not a few women in red clothes today, but everyone's eyes will be unconsciously focused on Liu Chupei, the bright and charming red color makes her wear a bit smart.

Before the banquet started, the following scene continued for a quarter of an hour after Liu Chupei sat down...

"Your Highness, this flower tin is really beautiful." A certain lady surnamed Liu.

"Well, thank you very much." Liu Chupei smiled lightly.

"Your Highness, this cloak is really beautiful." A certain lady surnamed Chen.

"Well - thank you." Liu Chupei still smiled lightly.

"His Royal Highness, this golden phoenix dotted with emerald green hairpin is really commendable." Another lady who couldn't be named.

"Hmm..." Liu Chupei was a little annoyed, but there was still a smile on her face.

……

That's why she didn't want to come to the banquet. These people couldn't make it.

"A princess is a princess, but this temper is different. People praise her kindly, but she is perfunctory."

The voice was silent, but it was a bit abrupt amidst the compliments from the crowd. Liu Chupei heard it very clearly, and she turned her head to look at the source of the voice.

She curled her lips, she thought who else would be so courageous and dare to choke her, it turned out to be her—the youngest daughter of the Xie family, Xie Yu'an.

If anyone in this big city of Jiankang didn't like her, Liu Chupei, they could have lined up from the palace gate to Xie's mansion in the south of the city, but Xie Yu'an was the only one who had the guts to yell at her publicly.

She still admires her sometimes, but having said that, the Xie family's status is even feared by the royal family, and Xie Yu'an also has that capital.

"Then why don't you praise me, I'm sure I won't be perfunctory if you praise me." Liu Chupei looked at Xie Yu'an, and curled the corners of her lips pretending to be sincere.

"Hmph." The two of them have always been rivals, how could Xie Yu'an praise her, she gave Liu Chupei a blank look, and turned her head away.

"Yu'an! Don't be presumptuous." Xie Yun came over and knelt down at Liu Chupei's feet, "Princess, please forgive me. My sister is ignorant, and she bumped into the princess today. As an older sister, I didn't discipline her properly. Plead guilty."

In the eyes of the wives sitting next to her, this youngest daughter of the Xie family doesn't know how to be polite, and the fifth princess is still a child, but the daughter of the Xie family is prudent and decent, without loss of propriety, they silently praised in their hearts and wrote down one by one.

"Hmph, fake intentions." Xie Yu'an glanced at Xie Yun with disdain, and muttered.

Liu Chupei took everyone's reactions into his eyes, but just smiled at Xie Yun, "Sister Xie, get up, where is this, if you don't discipline yourself well, then go back and discipline yourself well, if you don't discipline yourself every time because of poor discipline Once I apologize, others will not care what is wrong with my sister, they will only think that being a sister is not safe, and even a sister can't manage well." She smiled coquettishly, "Just like my imperial sister, every time I make a mistake Both my father and my mother would blame her for not managing me well, and she has been punished a lot for me, so I am really embarrassed."

Seeing Liu Chupei's harmless face, Xie Yun taunted her everywhere between the lines, she gritted her teeth secretly, "Thank you princess for reminding me."

Xie Yu'an saw that Xie Yun was deflated, she chuckled, the unhappiness just now dissipated a lot, she pretended to apologize and said: "Sister, I'm really sorry, my sister is naughty, I made my sister embarrassed, I have troubled my sister to apologize for me for so many years, Yu'an I'm really sorry." She deliberately emphasized the words "so many years".

Although everyone was chatting on their own, their ears had been listening carefully to this end, and their views on Xie Yun had changed a little just now. It seems that this older sister seems to be a steady and sensible person, but in fact she has no ability. After so many years , Even a younger sister can't be disciplined well, if she really gets married then how can she take care of the family affairs well.

Seeing that the wives no longer paid attention to her, Xie Yu'an was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and was even more dissatisfied with Xie Yu'an and Liu Chupei.She was also puzzled, the two had been at odds for a long time, why did they unanimously deal with her today?
