"It turns out that this person's heart is just as cruel," Chu Xin stared at Xiao Zhi and seemed to feel a sense of sympathy.
"So I say that everyone in this palace is the same, there is no change, and they will be ruthless when they should be ruthless." Xiao Zhi smiled again, "I have heard about Queen Mu, so you are the princess who is the queen's direct daughter. , should be of noble status."
"My mother has died a long time ago," Chu Xin lowered her head and said, but quickly raised her head to look at Xiao Zhi with bright eyes, "But I am lucky to have another mother!"
"I am indeed very lucky. It is not easy to have true love with you in the cold palace."
Xiao Zhi said with envy, these sincere feelings are the hardest things to get.
"Do you want to live well, live like a real princess?"
"Of course I do. I don't want to linger in the cold palace for the rest of my life, but I don't have any weight in His Majesty's heart. There are so many princesses around His Majesty, so who am I?"
Chu Xin replied angrily. In fact, what happened that day left a great impact on her heart. Every time she recalled it, she always felt uncomfortable.
When she ran over that day, she was lucky enough to think that His Majesty could have a little bit of father-daughter affection for her, but she didn't expect that he really didn't and was willing to let another girl humiliate her like this!
Xiao Zhi scratched his head in embarrassment. It seemed that it was too early to say this, and he had to slowly become familiar with it before he could say it.
"At least we are in the same boat. I can't get anything from you, and you can't get anything from me. Our conversation like this can be considered sincere. Do you think this is true?"
Xiao Zhi lowered his head and smiled as he said that. Anyway, there is nothing between him and the other person that can make people plot against each other. From a certain level, they can be regarded as the most sincere friends, right?
Yes, he's not scheming.
"Hmph," Chu Xin snorted with a smile, "That's quite right. Anyway, I'm just a princess who grew up in a cold palace. There's nothing about me that anyone can plot against. You and I are about the same age, so we're just a little bit older. You can speak."
Anyway, I have already reached this point, and there is nothing in me that can be calculated by anyone. The young boy in front of me talks quite interestingly, and it is quite fun to talk to him as if he were making a good friend.
On weekdays, she was unwilling to go out except to follow Xie Ruling, because the women who were relegated to the cold palace were either crazy or full of resentment. Sometimes she felt scared just looking at her.
Finally, a person of almost the same age appeared and could talk together without worrying about what the other person might do to him.
Didn't Xiao Zhi also say that when the time comes, he will go back to Beiqi? When the time comes, he will be done with it, and there will be nothing to worry about.
"Then can you tell me the story of your current mother? Why does she treat you like a daughter? Why did she get slapped that day?"
Xiao Zhi blinked curiously, full of doubts and sincerity of a young boy.
"She and I have been dependent on each other in the cold palace for so many years. Naturally, we can't let go of each other. It's normal for her to treat me like her own daughter!"
Chu Xin couldn't help but raise her head proudly, with a happy smile on her little face. She was indeed sad when her mother just left, but she still had another mother beside her.
"I got slapped that day because of some fights in the palace. It was all my fault for making such a stupid mistake. I have a better memory now and will never make the same mistake again!"
Chu Xin clenched her little fists, thinking about what happened that day, she wished she could turn back time. She would definitely not accept the charcoal fire given by Chu Yi!
At that time, I saw that the other person was a little princess who looked like a lucky doll, so I relaxed my vigilance. I always thought that this child should not have as many thoughts as adults, right?
But she just suffered a big loss from children of similar age!
…
"Mother, who's calligraphy did my brother and I practice? Is the handwriting more beautiful?"
Chu Yi smiled and ran to Zheng Yinghuan, pulling her long sleeves to act coquettishly. This was her favorite move. Every time she pulled her sleeves to act coquettishly, she would get praise from her mother-in-law. .
"My mother and concubine must not always favor my sister. It is obvious that my writing is better in many cases, but my mother and concubine always say that my sister's writing is good. This is really unfair to me!"
Another older boy walked over, looking a little unhappy seeing his sister always acting like this.
Although he knew that his sister was so cute and had a very smart temperament, her mother-in-law was always so partial to her that she had already ignored him.
"Yan'er, do you still want to fight with your sister?" Zheng Yinghuan hugged her daughter and glanced at her son with a smile.
She is the greatest blessing to have this pair of children. She has both a son and a daughter. No matter which one is favored, it is the best.
Her daughter, Bingxue, is smarter and closer to her. She understands many things at a glance. Many times, when it is inconvenient for her to say it, her daughter can say it openly, which really helps her accomplish a lot of things.
For his son, he is more looking forward to being appreciated by His Majesty in the previous dynasty. It is not easy to talk to his son about things in the harem, so he often gets closer to his daughter, but after all, the burden of this whole life will still be placed on his son. body.
"Huh," Chu Yan glared at Chu Yi angrily, but he didn't take these things to heart.
My sister is my father's favorite princess, and she is also his biological sister, the sister of the same mother. Only he and Chu Yi are the closest siblings in this palace.
His mother often taught him this. Other brothers and sisters were all descended from other concubines. Only he and Chu Yi were biological brothers and sisters of the same mother. If anything happened in the future, they must help each other!
"My brother is older than me, so he must give way to me. Who will make me like my mother-in-law the most?"
Chu Yi smiled innocently and lively, without any idea of sadness, just like a little princess who grew up in a pampered family, carefree.
"Yes, yes, Yi'er is the cutest with her pretty face. How can I, as your elder brother, care about you!"
Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh. She walked over and sat next to Zheng Yinghuan. Zheng Yinghuan held her two children in her arms and was so happy.
When she entered the palace, Xie Ruling was still favored. Who in the palace knew that the most pampered and arrogant Concubine Xie Ruling was the most favored one? However, she was sharp-eyed and saw that this favor was a bit fake!
A large part of the reason why Xie Ruling is favored is because she is from the Queen Mother's family, and Your Majesty is just giving the Queen Mother face.
If you don't like the woman sent by the Queen Mother, it will make things difficult for the Queen Mother and will make the relationship between mother and son even more tense.
Since Xie Ruling is indulgent and willful, she should change her style to be gentle and considerate. She will never be troublesome if she is always by His Majesty's side.
When something happens, he will speak up for others. In this way, over time, in His Majesty's mind, Xie Ruling will naturally become worse and worse, and she will become better and better.
Later, God was indeed kind to her, and she soon had a child, who is now Chu Yan. At that time, Xie Ruling was about to fall out of favor, because all of His Majesty's attention was diverted to her.
In fact, this was expected, because His Majesty had never really loved Xie Ruling. These favors were just to give the Queen Mother face. Later, after her existence, His Majesty would naturally forget about Xie Ruling.
Because she has been pampered for such a long time, it can be regarded as giving the Queen Mother enough face. The time is almost up, so there is no need to show off anymore.
Later, she felt that Xie Ruling's presence was always making people uncomfortable, so she directed and acted to set up a situation. In fact, His Majesty at that time had already been annoyed with Xie Ruling, and he heard that Xie Ruling had done something to harm her. , furious.
And Xie Ruling is really a hard-tempered person, and she is actually willing to go to the cold palace, which is good. She has been here for almost eight years, and she really deserves it!
"If Yan'er has rested enough at Concubine Mother's place, go and study quickly. You must do all your homework well, so that you can be loved by your father. Concubine Mother will ask Yuexiang to bring you some food later. , so as not to freeze and starve."
Zheng Yinghuan touched her son's face lovingly. She could pamper her daughter. Anyway, nothing the princess could do was too much. This was what Bixia said personally.
But we must have strict requirements for our sons. This prince must be trained from an early age. What if he can't compete when he grows up?
She only has such a son, but she puts all her expectations on him.
In the future, her daughter will be able to rely on her son when she is gone. As long as his son is powerful, his daughter will still be able to take advantage of him.
"Yes, I'm going to study first. My mother-in-law and my sister have a good rest!"
Chu Yan stood up and saluted Zheng Yinghuan.
Although he agreed so straightforwardly, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. The mother-in-law would only be so strict with him and always treat her sister so dotingly.
Although he also understands that he is a prince, he will have high expectations. Many times, he can only get a word of praise from his father if he works very hard.
But Emperor Rui's younger son is so smart and smart, and has received many compliments from his father. Is it true that his talent is stupid and he can only make up for it by diligent study?
That’s all, whether it’s for my mother-in-law, my sister, or myself, I must get the best!
"My brother studies so hard. My father is always reluctant to praise my brother."
Chu Yi wrinkled her little face, a little unhappy.
Although she was Xiao Zhi's age, she naturally knew the role of her brother's existence. Her mother-in-law often said that her brother would be her support in the future.
Only if her brother lives well in the future and is appreciated by his father, can she take advantage of him. Otherwise, no one can predict what will happen if something unexpected happens one day.
"The prince cannot be as carefree as the princess. I am not only thinking about your brother, I am also thinking about you," Zheng Yinghuan said sincerely.
"Do you remember the Princess Xin'er you teased a few days ago? She is Queen Mu's direct princess. How beautiful it was when Queen Mu was pregnant with her. Have you ever thought about what will happen today?
The princess is delicate and needs a big tree to support her. Your brother will be your big tree. You are my most precious daughter. I am afraid that you will suffer a little! "
Zheng Yinghuan held Chu Yi in her arms and hugged her tightly. They were all children born from her ten-month pregnancy. She loved and valued her son and daughter equally.
It's just that this princess is destined to be trapped in the harem and the harem. She must have someone to rely on. No other support can be relied on, only her biological brother can be relied on.
