"If they want to come out, come out. Anyway, they will still be Yi'er's favorite princess. No one can change your status."
Zheng Yinghuan raised her head condescendingly. Now that she has reached this status, does she still have to argue with the people in the past? Those people in the cold palace are not worthy of being looked down upon by her!
After hearing these words, Chu Yi finally felt a little more comfortable. Anyway, what the mother-in-law said was right. All she had to do was listen to what the mother-in-law said.
"I have met the noble concubine, Princess Yi."
Yun Bin came over with her daughter, and when she saw Zheng Yinghuan, she quickly bent down and saluted.
"Yan'er has met the imperial concubine, sister Yi'er."
Chu Yan seemed to be similar in age to Chu Yi, but her expression was not as arrogant as Chu Yi's, but rather a bit submissive.
"It's you," Zheng Yinghuan glanced at them casually, "Get up."
Chu Yi also looked indifferent. Anyway, when he was with his mother and concubine, he was already used to other concubines saluting him.
Who makes the mother-in-law the father’s favorite concubine? Who makes her the father’s favorite princess? Everyone has to step aside!
"You came here because you wanted to see His Majesty," Zheng Yinghuan touched the hair beside his ear impatiently, "His Majesty is busy now. If there is nothing important, it is better not to disturb him. If you have anything, just tell me."
"Yes," Yun Bin quickly nodded and said, "I am also worried about your empress. In the past few days, the harem has received news that the one in the cold palace is coming out. I am worried that your empress will be unhappy."
Yun Bin looked very humble and flattering, but what could she really do? She was not from a high family background, so she was extremely lucky to have reached her current status.
Concubine Zheng is the one who calls the shots in the harem now. What else can she do besides flattering her? At the same time, she is extremely happy that she gave birth to a princess. If she gave birth to a prince, she would probably become a thorn in Concubine Zheng's side.
She could barely survive after giving birth to a princess, so she couldn't help but squeeze her daughter's hand. After so many years of trying to please her, she already felt that her own face was nothing.
Chu Yan also felt a little embarrassed. She really didn't like this imperial concubine, nor did she like Princess Yi, because she always felt humble every time she was in front of them.
In fact, they were already very humble, and their mother often said that their status meant nothing in front of the imperial concubine, and they could only try to please them first.
"Let's talk inside my palace. This is not the place to talk."
Zheng Yinghuan felt quite impatient when she mentioned this matter, and walked straight in front of Yun Bin. If she had anything else to say, she had to go back first. There was no point in saying it outside.
"yes."
Concubine Yun held her daughter's hand and followed behind. When they arrived at Chuxiu Palace, they found that other concubines were also waiting. It seemed that they all planned to come over to discuss the matter together.
"My concubines have already received the news, so they came here. I wonder how your Majesty will respond?"
The first person to speak was Concubine Jia. She had a charming appearance, and her red lips made her even more charming. However, there was a lingering worry between her eyebrows.
The one in the cold palace said that he is coming out. Who knows whether this coming out will be a blessing or a curse. Xie Ruling was the most favored by His Majesty at the beginning. Who knows whether she will return to her former glory after coming out.
When Xie Ruling was in the cold palace, they often got into trouble. If they returned to their former glory, would they still have a good life?
Not everyone felt a little uneasy, so they hurried over to discuss it with Concubine Zheng.
"Isn't Concubine Jia usually the most flamboyant? Why didn't I expect that she is now afraid?"
Concubine Li covered her mouth and smiled disdainfully, "They are just people who came out of the cold palace. What is there to be afraid of? Even if you were a fairy in the sky, you will become a mortal after eight years of hard work in the cold palace. You Yeah, you really don’t have to worry so much!”
The other concubines also nodded, agreeing with this statement. If you want to be favored, the first thing you rely on is your appearance.
When Xie Ruling entered the palace, her appearance was indeed stunning, but now that she has been suffering in the cold palace for eight years, her appearance is no longer what it used to be.
And being able to come out at this time is entirely because of the Queen Mother, and it is not His Majesty's intention. Your Majesty is just filial and obeying the Queen Mother's words. Even if you come out, you will never be able to return to your original glory.
Zheng Yinghuan thought the same way, but she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, because when she first entered the palace, it was the time when Xie Ruling was favored and proud, and she had to restrain herself at that time.
But now she is the oldest in the harem. If Xie Ruling is released again, she will always be reminded of her humble self.
What's more, what bothers me the most is that His Majesty has no objections to this matter. I thought that as long as the original matter was mentioned, His Majesty would definitely have some opinions. I didn't expect that he would agree so easily.
Chu Yan and Chu Yi were taken to the back yard to play together. Although they were playing together, it was more that Chu Yi was bossing them around.
"Sister Yi," Chu Yan handed a plate of pastries to Chu Yi, "this osmanthus cake is the most delicious. Do you want to try it too?"
As she spoke, she showed a flattering smile. In fact, she didn't want to be like this, but her mother-in-law always told her to try her best to please, and she must not make Chu Yi unhappy in any way.
Because Chu Yi is unhappy, Concubine Zheng will also be unhappy, and then their mother and daughter's life will be bad.
"What kind of sweet-scented osmanthus cake?" Chu Yi took the pastry and looked at it carefully, then put it aside casually, "I don't like eating such things!"
"If you don't like this, then eat something else." Chu Yan quickly picked a few more items and pushed them all to Chu Yi's side. She felt a little anxious and her whole little hands were trembling, for fear of offending the other party. happy.
Fortunately, Chu Yi didn't pay too much attention to these. She randomly picked out a few delicious pastries and took a bite. Every time the palace staff prepared several pastries, she was afraid that Chu Yi wouldn't like them.
"Why do you always have to go to see your father? My father is very busy every day. Even my mother and concubine are a little busy, so how can I have time to see you?"
At a young age, Chu Yi also imitated Zheng Yinghuan in front of her sisters, always looking down on others. She was her father's favorite princess, so of course she was different from other princesses.
"My concubine just misses my father too much. If my sister doesn't like it, I will go back and tell my concubine not to go there in the future."
Chu Yan lowered her head and bit her lips. No matter what, she must please Chu Yi first. This was always given to her by her mother and concubine, so he always kept it in mind.
"It's good that you know, don't always do things that annoy my mother-in-law!"
Chu Yi imitated Zheng Yinghuan's way of scolding others. In fact, she also liked this feeling of being superior and lecturing others, because this feeling was so good and wonderful. No wonder the mother-in-law always scolded other concubines like this!
Chu Yan nodded, lowering her head and not daring to refute.
She kept in mind what her mother and concubine told her, no matter what, she must not make Chu Yi unhappy and must please her.
In fact, she was really envious in her heart, and she also wanted to become her father's favorite princess. In that case, she wouldn't have to please Chu Yi like this every time.
In fact, she is older than Chu Yi, but as for her sister, she has to be so humble in front of Chu Yi. Many times she feels uncomfortable and aggrieved.
"That's not what Sister Li Fei said. That's not what I'm worried about. I'm just complaining about the injustice for the imperial concubine!"
Concubine Jia's eyes flashed, she covered her mouth and smiled sweetly.
"We all know how Xie Ruling got into the cold palace in the first place. Now that we are letting it out, it seems that His Majesty may have forgotten what happened at the beginning, and I am just worried that the noble concubine will think of it. Get up!"
"Your Majesty, it has been so many years. I'm afraid your Majesty has already forgotten it, right?"
The Ting concubine echoed in a strange tone. There was a sharp and mean look between her brows. She always looked down on people who were inferior to her.
She has always looked down on the person in the cold palace, and has often made trouble for him. Now he is suddenly coming out, but what will his status be after he comes out?
Could it be that she is still a royal concubine?
If she were still a noble concubine, wouldn't her rank be above hers? How would she behave as a human being?
"That's enough, stop arguing." Zheng Yinghuan interrupted impatiently, "What you said is exactly what I think. It doesn't matter if you want to come out, but I hope your majesty will not forget. Why did you go in? Don’t forget the injustice I suffered in the first place!”
Zheng Yinghuan rubbed her brows helplessly. She always felt a bad premonition. It was fine that others didn't know what happened at the beginning, but she and Xie Ruling knew it clearly in their hearts!
At the beginning, she did not expect that Xie Ruling would be so arrogant that she would dare to depose her status as a concubine and go to the cold palace.
At that time, I thought that I would never come out after going to the Cold Palace. I didn’t expect that I would come out after eight years. It is precisely because of this that I feel uneasy in my heart, and I also regret that I did not quietly deal with the person in the Cold Palace during the past eight years!
"My Majesty, there is nothing to worry about. Your Majesty has a princess and a prince. This is your greatest confidence. Even if Xie Ruling wants to come out, she will never be able to compare with your Majesty!"
Li Fei said flatteringly, in fact, that was what she was thinking in her heart. Xie Ruling's appearance was indeed stunning back then, but Leng Gong's eight years were not in vain.
No matter how beautiful the fairy is, if she is thrown in and suffers for eight years, she will definitely not regain her original appearance and beauty when she comes out.
Moreover, it is the Queen Mother's wish to come out this time, and Your Majesty is just obeying filially. It is not His Majesty's wish. After coming out, just give him a place and take good care of him!
"I never thought that she would dare to compare with me, but I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."
Zheng Yinghuan replied impatiently, where have these people been thinking? Do they think they are afraid that Xie Ruling will come out and steal her favor? This is simply ridiculous!
Eight years in the cold palace had already made Xie Ruling extremely haggard. How could she compare with herself, let alone with that unlucky princess? I'm afraid she would never be able to return to her former favor in this lifetime!
She just felt a little resentful in her heart and regretted not quietly getting rid of Xie Ruling in the past eight years, and still being an eyesore.
So it was precisely because of this that she felt a little irritated and uncomfortable. Originally, the harem was all hers, but an annoying person suddenly appeared.
People have long been accustomed to being proud of the spring breeze, and all the concubines are respectful to him. How can there be room for Xie Ruling and Princess Xin'er.
Since even the deposed queen has died in the cold palace, why is the princess still alive? Wouldn't it be better to die together? She must stay and be an eyesore!
