Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 858 She was reckless, but never afraid

When listening to Shen's words, Bai Xiuying's hands tightly grasped her sleeves.

But when she opened her mouth to respond to Mr. Shen, her face was no longer confused.

She was very determined, just as she had followed her eldest sister to the battlefield without hesitation.

In this case, Shen didn't say much.

She sat aside and directed the maid to dress up Bai Xiuying.

In this capital, when it comes to etiquette and rules, Shen is definitely the one who stands out.

Under her personal supervision, Bai Xiuying will not make any mistakes.

Soon, a girl wearing a light blue dress stood in front of her.

Wearing a blue dress with a white background, her face was lightly painted with pink.

It's not too showy, beyond the filial piety period, and it's not too dull, and it loses the rules of meeting noble people in the palace.

Shen took off the jade beads and replaced them with a white magnolia hairpin.

She gently pinned the hairpin in Bai Xiuying's hair and gave her final warning: "Don't be afraid. If the sky falls, we will all support it together."

"This matter can't be solved by just admitting your mistake. Rather than suffering a loss and being unhappy, it would be better for us not to suffer this loss."

Bai Xiuying nodded: "Xiuying understands, sister-in-law, don't worry."

Just when an hour was about to come, Mrs. Shen, her fourth aunt and Bai Xiuying came to the flower hall.

Because he took the money, Eunuch Zhang greeted the two of them with a smile.

After sending away the fourth aunt and Bai Xiuying, Mrs. Shen quickly sent someone to find a way to report the news to Bai Ming on WeChat.

After finishing all these things, she breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down to rest.

Shuiyang brought her some tea and said, "Miss, please have a rest. You'll be fine."

Shen held the tea cup, but there was a little worry on her face.

If His Highness Ninth Prince is reliable, she can definitely inform His Highness Ninth Prince and ask His Highness Ninth Prince to solve this problem himself.

But with His Highness Ninth Prince's temperament, I'm afraid things will get worse the more he gets involved.

Therefore, Miss Six can only face this matter by herself.

Fortunately, although the fourth aunt is quiet on weekdays, she is very assertive. With the fourth aunt accompanying her, I believe she can give the sixth girl some advice when she becomes unsteady.

Thinking of this, Shen sighed.

She said: "I'm afraid grandpa hasn't had breakfast yet? Come with me to see grandpa."

The rest of the things were easy to solve, but what she was most worried about was surprising her frail grandfather.

So she had to try to make her grandfather happy.

……

Bai Xiuying and her mother were brought directly to Concubine Wei.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Wei did not meet the mother and daughter alone, but invited many people to taste it together in the imperial garden.

Accompanying her were many concubines in addition to ladies and noble daughters.

The beauty of Concubine Wei is like the most dazzling peony among thousands of flowers.

Graceful and luxurious, the country is beautiful and fragrant.

Her plump and beautiful appearance adds to the sense of oppression.

People dare not look directly at it.

Bai Xiuying and her fourth aunt bowed respectfully: "Greetings to the noble concubine."

Concubine Wei's eyes immediately fell on Bai Xiuying.

She looked at Bai Xiuying without any trace, and then said with a warm smile: "Sit down, please sit down quickly, and come and talk to me."

The better Concubine Wei's attitude becomes, the more Bai Xiuying and her fourth aunt understand that this is a Hongmen Banquet.

If you just want to give a little warning, there is no need to invite so many people over.

With these people here, no matter what happens today, it will be known to everyone in the streets tomorrow.

It seemed that Concubine Wei was not prepared to leave any room for them.

Despite this, mother and daughter behaved appropriately.

No matter what, they were all relatives of the once most powerful family, the Bai Mansion, and had seen many big scenes, so naturally they would not lose their manners in front of the noble concubine.As soon as the two of them sat down, Concubine Wei ordered someone to bring them food.

Exquisite and delicious snacks, famous products filled with tea fragrance.

Concubine Wei smiled brightly: "These are the snacks just made by Si Shanfang. Try it quickly. Does it taste to your liking?"

Bai Xiuying and her fourth aunt thanked her at the same time: "Thank you, empress, for the reward."

After speaking, the mother and daughter tasted the tea seriously.

Concubine Wei always had a soft smile, her eyes falling on the two of them from time to time.

Just as Bai Xiuying took a bite, the crowd suddenly burst into chuckles.

Bai Xiuying followed the reputation and knew that she was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites.

She ignored it, withdrew her gaze and continued eating the cake.

Concubine Wei asked with great interest: "Miss Huang, what's interesting?"

Miss Huang stood up and saluted gracefully: "Back to your Majesty, I saw the sixth girl from the Bai family eating cakes very straightforwardly, and I felt fond of her, so I couldn't help laughing and asked your Majesty to forgive me."

Concubine Wei smiled and said, "Oh? Straightforward?"

Miss Huang patiently explained: "The pastries given by the empress are sweet in taste. If you eat them in a big mouth, you will not be able to appreciate the taste, but it will only make your mouth taste cloying."

"Sixth girl bit off half of it in one bite. Isn't that a sign of being frank? That's why I couldn't help laughing at the sixth girl's frank behavior."

Hearing this, Concubine Wei smiled meaningfully: "Indeed, you need to take a small sip of this pastry and drink it with a sip of mellow tea to appreciate its taste."

"It seems that Miss Huang is quite knowledgeable about eating. If you don't mind, you can teach the sixth girl of the Bai family how to eat."

Miss Huang responded respectfully: "I don't mind. Empress Meng praises me. This is my honor."

After saying that, Miss Huang stretched out her slender fingers, twisted a piece of pastry in her hand, bit off a small bit, and then drank it with tea.

The whole process was smooth and graceful, and the movements were elegant and appropriate, which fully demonstrated the ladylike demeanor of everyone.

She smiled softly: "Miss Six, you might as well try it like me. You will find a different taste."

Bai Xiuying heard this and did not reply immediately.

This was a joke that she was uneducated, had no experience of the world, and couldn't even eat cakes.

If she was grateful for Miss Huang's "kindness", it would mean that she admitted that she was rude.

But if you don't accept it, you don't know what is good and what is evil.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiuying showed a sweet smile: "Thank you, Miss Huang."

Seeing that her goal was achieved, Miss Huang had a smile on her face, but her eyebrows raised provocatively.

But then, Bai Xiuying put down the cake, took another sip of tea, and then said slowly: "It's a pity, I'm afraid I will let down Miss Huang's kindness."

"I'm not like Miss Huang. I just think about food every day when I have nothing to do at home. I pay so much attention to how to eat and how many bites to eat."

"It's just that I went on a march north and often devoured food. Once this habit develops, it's difficult to get rid of it."

Having said this, Bai Xiuying raised her eyes and looked at Miss Huang: "But I don't think Miss Huang can understand the feeling of swallowing a bun in one bite."

After saying that, Bai Xiuying stopped talking.

Because she mentioned the march north, those who were originally prepared to laugh at her lack of manners had their words stuck in their throats.

How dare they, those who have never touched the world, laugh at a girl who has fought hard for her country.

If they dare to open this mouth, will they be drowned in the saliva of the common people if word spreads?
The fourth aunt, who was about to ask for help, silently lowered her head when she saw this. There was no need for her to speak at this time.

Miss Huang failed to show off her skills, but was retorted coldly by Bai Xiuying. She immediately tightened the handkerchief in her hand and looked at Bai Xiuying. After trying her best to hide it, she still had a trace of annoyance.

Concubine Wei looked at Bai Xiuying calmly and narrowed her eyes.

It can be seen that she has other plans, and it is definitely not as simple as wanting Miss Huang to humiliate Bai Xiuying.

Bai Xiuying sat silently. Even though there was talk and laughter around her, she could feel an undercurrent surging.

She raised her eyes slightly and met Concubine Wei's eyes.

In an instant, an invisible malice came overwhelmingly.

Her long eyelashes trembled, and her eyes were firm and bright.

Just like fighting on the battlefield, she was reckless but never afraid.
