It was said that it was too early to say what had happened. There were rumors going around that Xia Ling was the reincarnation of a vixen and was born to bewitch others. Perhaps Gu Yan had been bewitched all this time?
There were also rumors that Xia Ling's surname was Xia and that the princess who had been kidnapped in Xia country was also surnamed Xia. Recently, there had been rumors that these two Xia Ling were actually the same person. If they were really the same person, then this Madam Xia was really harboring evil intentions by staying in front of the Regent!
...
Xia Ling listened to their lively conversation and got someone to prepare a cup of hot tea on the second floor. She leisurely sat there and listened to their conversation, memorizing the faces of these people clearly.
The female boss of the ready-to-wear shop looked at Xia Ling sitting there and made up her mind to listen to these people speak ill of her to the end. The boss's fair forehead was covered in sweat, and he was so anxious that he wanted to stamp his feet. He kept winking at the servants beside him, wanting them to make some noise He wanted to break the awkward situation.
"What are you afraid of "No matter how much a princess is, isn't that just a matter of no shadow Let me tell you, don't look down on Madam Xia's good taste and beautiful looks. I heard that the first-in-law princess that Xia Kingdom is going to send over for marriage this time is not one bit inferior to their previous eldest princess. In fact, her looks are even better than theirs."
"Men, how can they not be greedy for novelty? When they see a new person here, they will naturally forget about the old person. "
The one who spoke was Madam Wang from the vice minister's Residence of the Ministry of Rites.
Madam Wang's handkerchief was handed over throughout the entire capital. Even if it was an ordinary laborer, there would occasionally be a few people who could chat with Madam Wang.
She loved to gossip, and she had a good relationship with the wife of the Minister of Rites.
Xia Ling was given to Gu Yan by the Minister of Rites, but after that, she fell out with the Minister of rites.
Madam Zhang of the Minister of rites complained to Madam Wang a few times. Madam Wang remembered this entanglement. On the surface, she was close to Xia Ling, but behind her back, she often spoke ill of Xia Ling.
Who would be willing to have such a beautiful and pampered concubine in the Manor?
Therefore, towards Xia Ling, everyone had a bit of a taboo in their respect.
Xia Ling sat upstairs and watched as Madam Wang talked about Xia Ling. When she talked about Xia Ling, she was very clear-headed, as if she had eyes in the regent prince's mansion.
Xia Ling held a cup of tea and stood behind the railing on the second floor.
Seeing the few madams gathered together, Madam Wang just happened to have her back to her, so she stood under the railing.
Xia Ling's eyes flashed, and she flipped her wrist.
The owner of the ready-to-wear shop next to her let out a short exclamation.
The warm tea splashed down directly from the second floor, spilling all over Madam Wang's face.
The tea leaves stuck to her face and immediately blurred her makeup.
Mrs. Wang Panted heavily, as if she had been soaked in the rain. She was completely stunned.
"Who! Who is it? " She shouted and raised her head. She saw Xia Ling standing behind the railing on the second floor.
Xia Ling stood behind the railing in a relaxed and elegant manner. Her white dress made her appear very elegant.
After spending so much time with Gu Yan, she seemed to have been touched by that indifference.
The corners of her lips curled up as she looked at the group of noble ladies downstairs carelessly, especially Mrs. Wang who was shouting at her. Xia Ling curled her lips and spoke in a casual manner.
"Why is there a vicious dog barking in this ready-made clothing store in the middle of the day? It's annoying just listening to it. "
Her Line of sight paused on the faces of a few women who did not look good. Xia Ling's smile deepened as she asked the middle-level deputy general's wife who was beside Madam Wang.
"Madam Bai, am I right? This tea is a high-quality Luan melon slice. I did not drink a mouthful of it and gave it all to Madam Wang
