Chapter 1095 Old Friend
Qiao Xuan knocked on the door and handed over the invitation. Then a young eunuch greeted her politely with a smile and led her in.
The Prince's Mansion Villa lives up to its royal name; it was carved and decorated by famous craftsmen with an elegant and refined layout, which is very different from other places. Even in autumn, the garden is not deserted at all.
Osmanthus, autumn hibiscus, azalea, camellia, jasmine, various colors of chrysanthemums, and bright red, orange, and golden yellow leaves add a touch of bright color to the autumn garden, making people's eyes bright from time to time.
At this moment, everyone was in Linqiu House halfway up the mountain, and the young eunuch naturally led Qiao Xuan there.
Qiao Xuan smiled and followed calmly, not worrying about what the eunuch might do. Here, every flower, tree, grass, and leaf could be said to be her eyes and ears, so who was she afraid of?
But Qiao Xuan never expected that she would run into an acquaintance here!
When Qiao Xuan saw a beautiful woman with delicate makeup, a bun in a casual style, golden hairpins and pearls shining brightly, and wearing a beautifully embroidered goose yellow palace dress appearing in front of her, she was stunned. She just felt that she seemed familiar, but she couldn't call out her name for a while.
When the beauty smiled at her and called her "Ms. Shao", she finally remembered and opened her eyes wide, almost losing her composure.
He Zhiqing.
The cousin of the Xie family who had previously tried to use Taotao to hook up with Xie Jingrong, had suddenly transformed herself into a lady of the Fourth Prince's mansion!
The young eunuch bowed to He Zhiqing and asked how she was doing. Qiao Xuan also knelt down and bowed to her, saying, "Madam He, how are you?"
The Fourth Prince now has a princess consort named Dou, a concubine named Shi, and an unknown number of concubines. I think He Zhiqing is one of them.
Seeing that the young eunuch was quite respectful to her, I guess the Fourth Prince must like her very much.
He Zhiqing smiled at her, stepped forward, held her hand and pulled her back: "Ms. Shao, you are too polite. We are old acquaintances. Why do you have to be like this?"
Qiao Xuan thought that the Xie family was indeed very powerful. If it weren't for the Xie family, He Zhiqing would not have been able to enter the Fourth Prince's Mansion so quickly. However, when she and Shao Yunduan went to Beijing, Xie Jingrong did not tell her about this. It can be seen that something unpleasant must have happened between He Zhiqing and the Xie family.
Qiao Xuan naturally didn't want to get too close to someone like He Zhiqing.
She couldn't see through He Zhiqing.
I just think she is extraordinary and smart.
It is better to stay away from a smart person who has ulterior motives but is scheming.
Qiao Xuan quickly pulled back her hand, stepped back, lowered her head and said politely, "Madam He, you are joking. I am not so lucky to be an old acquaintance of Madam He. Madam He is too kind to me! It is only because of my husband's blessing that I was able to be a guest of the Xie family in Yuzhang and met Madam He once!"
Although I don’t know why He Zhiqing suddenly became so close to me and I can’t figure it out, I won’t take up the issue.
He Zhiqing was slightly startled. She had not expected that she would not accept her kindness. She sneered in her heart, and the enthusiasm in her expression faded a little. She raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth and chuckled softly, saying coquettishly: "Mrs. Shao is truly an honest person with a sincere heart. It is a rare fate that we can meet in the capital. Naturally, we are old acquaintances! Since we happened to meet, let's go all the way!"
"Yes, Mrs. He."
Qiao Xuan smiled and did not refuse.
He Zhiqing walked with her, smiling gently, and occasionally commented on the flowers, "The flowers are blooming beautifully!", "The scenery here is nice!", etc., but her heart was far from calm.
