"Pfft."
Xia Yunxian actually laughed, "I didn't expect the old princess to be so funny in the past, but as long as the old prince doesn't dislike her, then what's the problem?"
She said that the mandarin ducks she embroidered looked like wild ducks. As soon as the picture appeared in their minds, everyone suppressed their laughter, for fear that they would be rude to the old princess if they couldn't hold it back for a moment.
Who would have thought that Xia Yunxian would be so disrespectful? Just when Mrs. Liu was about to scold her, the old princess actually took her hand and said, "Why don't you dislike it? In the past, whenever he annoyed me, I would give him a purse made by myself." , I have even embroidered the clothes, but he must wear them out!"
Just because her embroidery work was so bad, who could have imagined that a prince would walk in front of others wearing unsightly clothes? It was simply a punishment!
The old princess laughed to tears when she thought of all the things that happened when her husband was alive. The interaction between the two of them was completely incomprehensible to others in the room.
Mrs. Liu's mood was up and down, and she patted her chest gently. It seemed that the old princess really liked Yun Xian, otherwise how could she laugh at herself about her shortcomings?
but……
She prepared carefully for several days, thinking that the old princess could not be left indifferent after arriving at the house, so she was thinking about the topic of female celebrities' poems. Now she saw them talking about leading troops to fight, and her ears were buzzing. She couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, but she couldn't be too distracted, for fear that the old princess would think she didn't understand and lose face.
At this time, Liu Chengyu looked at Xia Yunxian's smiling face and couldn't help but lose his mind.
I didn't know she knew so much before. After being married for many years, I didn't understand her at all.
How many more surprises are there?
If she could be pregnant with his child, his son would be capable of both literary and martial arts, and his daughter would be as smart as her, as smart as a man.
Thinking of this, Liu Chengyu felt a little impatient again.
"Speaking of strategies, when the prince fought against Xiliang Canyon ten years ago, didn't he use the golden cicada's plan to escape from his shell? It turns out that the tiger father has no dog son, and it was all taught well by the father-in-law."
Princess Ping An couldn't bear to see Xia Yunxian chatting and laughing with her mother-in-law, but she was left out, so she interrupted them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the old princess's face darkened, and the hall fell into silence.
how?
Is it possible that Xia Yunxian is only allowed to show off to General Xia while she praises her husband?
Princess Pingnan felt secretly resentful in her heart, and then she heard the old princess say quietly, "Ten years ago, the prince did not participate in the battle of Xiliang Canyon, right?"
What?
As soon as these words came out, Princess Pingnan was immediately stunned.
"Princess, I remember wrongly. My father was the coach in that battle, and he did use the golden cicada's escape strategy." Xia Yunxian responded calmly.
At that time, her father was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread, so she came up with a plan. She ordered people to disguise themselves as him, wear his armor to guard the defenders, and then attack Xiliang with great fanfare. The enemy thought it was a trick to lure troops. , and retreated into the canyon with difficult terrain.
General Xia was already on his way back to Beijing at that time. He expected that the enemy general would be suspicious and would definitely order a retreat, so he sent people to ambush in the canyon early to catch all the enemy troops!
Everyone immediately understood the reason for the old princess's displeasure. Princess Pingnan's face instantly became hot, and her eyes flickered and they did not dare to look into her eyes.
"It's been ten years. Isn't it normal to have wrong memories? My father fought so many battles, how can my grandmother remember it?" Princess Pingting immediately stood up to defend Princess Pingnan.
"Oh, of course I remember them all! My husband and son were out fighting the enemy, hanging their heads on their waists, and how often did they not go through the ghost gate? Your grandfather experienced forty-six battles in his life, and your father twenty-one, I know them all Clearly!"
The old princess gritted her teeth and turned red.
Ask her how she remembers it so clearly, because every time, she would go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and put the peace charms she prayed for on them with her own hands, and then take them off when she came back, and put them in her jewelry box.
Princess Pingting had a lump in her throat. She was about to say something but Princess Pingnan secretly stopped her.
She noticed Xia Yunxian's meaningful gaze and deliberately avoided it with a guilty conscience. Fortunately, her mother-in-law didn't ask her why she remembered the battle that General Xia won.
Hearing a long sigh, the old princess looked at Princess Pingting with eyes full of disappointment and regret, "Whoever wants to marry you in the future will be really unlucky!"
"Grandma, why did you say that to me!" Who would remember those terrible wars? People should be happy every day they live!
"You are my granddaughter, that's why I'm talking about you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even take a second look!"
Princess Pingting curled her lips, and the old princess didn't bother to lecture anymore, "This child is just spoiled!"
"Old Princess has worked hard for most of her life. It's time to think more about happy things and play some interesting games. I wonder if Old Princess can play cards?"
"Playing cards? Of course I can. It's really boring in the palace. I don't even have anyone to talk to myself about. I can only find those maids and nuns to play cards with me and pass the time!"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately surprised.
Princess Pingnan noticed Mrs. Liu's funny gaze, and her heart was extremely displeased.
She really couldn't figure out what her mother-in-law was thinking. How could she play cards with those lowly maids? She was too unworthy of the stage!
On weekdays, many high-ranking sects come to visit the palace. Wouldn't it be nice to drink tea and enjoy the flowers with them?
"Old Princess, something is wrong." As soon as Xia Yunxian finished speaking, everyone was shocked and saw her smiling again, "How can you play cards with the maids? Their monthly salary is already very small. How can they live if they are all won away?"
What she meant by this was that in a card game with the master, which servant would dare to win?
Xia Yunxian gave a look, and Chunxiao immediately withdrew, and soon came back with a deck of cards. She looked at the old princess seriously, "Yunxian is different, Yunxian dares to win."
"Really? Can I really play cards in the Hou Mansion?"
The old princess was overjoyed, and Mrs. Liu hurriedly asked someone to prepare tea and cakes, "As long as the old princess is happy, it will be an honor for our Liu family!"
Princess Pingnan and Princess Pingting looked at this scene and felt that their mother and daughter were completely isolated, so they wisely left the front hall.
"You cunning little bitch, you really have a way to make grandma happy, even using such despicable means as playing cards!"
Princess Pingting looked around with disdain, and Princess Pingnan immediately saw what she was thinking, "If your grandmother travels, if I don't accompany you, it will be unreasonable. If you need anything, just ask your aunt. She doesn’t dare to refuse you.”
"You're so good, why do you have to suffer in such a miserable place? Mother, has Father discovered something?"
Princess Pingting made sure that no one was around, so she couldn't help but lower her voice.
Princess Pingnan immediately calmed down her expression and fell into deep thought...
