These days, Chu Xin and Xie Ruling's life in the cold palace has been much better. At least there is a charcoal fire and a lot of clothes to keep out the cold.
"I used to think that it would be great if there was such a warm charcoal fire every day, so that I wouldn't be woken up by the cold so many times at night. Now I really have it. It's so warm every day!"
Chu Xin snuggled next to Xie Ruling and stretched out her little hands. The temperature of the charcoal fire made her hands warm, and they were no longer as cold as before.
"It's been a comfortable life for the past half month. With so many charcoal fires, little girl like you won't feel cold at all!"
Xie Ruling rubbed Chu Xin's head vigorously. In fact, she suddenly understood the importance of this identity. When she was angry, she took it for granted that she came to Leng Palace and didn't want to go out again. But she didn't expect that the life in Leng Palace would be so difficult. ah.
When I was a royal concubine, I never thought that one day I would feel so happy just because I had a pot of charcoal fire. At that time, I had good clothes and food, but no good things were used.
"Well," Chu Xin nodded coquettishly, "It's not cold anymore!"
She felt that this period of time was the happiest. The food and clothing provided were much better!
Seeing Chu Xin so satisfied, Xie Ruling felt a little uncomfortable. When she was a noble concubine, she had all the best clothes and food, and she also wanted Chu Xin to enjoy everything. Rather than just using a pot of charcoal fire, you will be happy like this.
"Master Xie, are you in there?"
The voice of the little eunuch came from outside. In recent days, many things have been sent in. Xie Ruling knew at a glance that these were Xiaochu's intentions. Since that day, she has been sending things intermittently. come over.
"I'm here," Xie Ruling stood up and opened the door. As she spoke, she glanced at what the little eunuch was holding, "What's there?"
"It's some clothes. It will be cold for a long time in winter. Concubine Shu is afraid that the master and princess will freeze, so she will send a lot of clothes!"
There was a bit of flattery in the eunuch's smile, not as arrogant as before. In the past few days, the palace had received news that the Queen Mother was willing to take Xie Ruling out of the cold palace.
"Send it in," Xie Ruling opened the door and asked the little eunuch to bring the things in, but Chu Xin just sat on the small chair with bright eyes, staring at the things that were brought, feeling that she had been so happy these days. , sent a lot of things!
She was wearing a light blue dress today. Although it was not comparable to the Chu Yi she saw that day, it was already very clean and tidy, and it was very comfortable to wear.
After delivering the things, the little eunuch nodded and bowed and retreated. Xie Ruling closed the door and looked at all the clothes that had been delivered.
"Which one do you like? Come and pick one." Xie Ruling took a light pink dress and gestured at Chu Xin.
"In the past, when I was a noble concubine, the clothes I wore were of the highest quality. How can these be compared? It's such a pity for you. If I had given birth to you when I was a noble concubine, I'm afraid your life would be worse than this. Life is a thousand times better!"
Xie Ruling put down her clothes and sighed helplessly. Chu Xin came over to pick up her skirt with a face full of joy. When she turned to the bottom layer, she found a roll of delicate-looking fabric.
"what is this?"
Chu Xin spread out the layer of fabric and found that it was really delicate and beautiful. It was smooth to the touch. It was obviously different from the fabric used to make the skirt.
Xie Ruling was also a little strange. She put the roll of fabric in her hand and touched it carefully. It was indeed very soft and comfortable. This roll of fabric seemed out of place in these skirts.
"This is a very exquisite and expensive brocade. I didn't expect you to be so generous and send such a precious fabric?"
Xie Ruling doubtfully looked through the clothes that were sent to her again, and found that they were just ordinary clothes, so the roll of fabric that lined them was particularly precious, which was a bit strange.
"But the fabric of this skirt doesn't have this Zhiyun Jinzhen. Why did you send such a precious fabric?"
Chu Xin felt a little uneasy. After what happened last time, she was subconsciously wary of everything.
It would be nice if the clothes delivered were barely wearable, but such precious fabrics shouldn't be put here.
"Put it aside. We won't use it. Maybe we put it in the wrong place. We can just return it when we come over later."
Xie Ruling made a decisive decision and put the brocade aside. No matter what, she just didn't need it. If anyone came to ask, she would just return it. If no one came, she would just leave it.
"These light pink and light yellow skirts look good on you. Just change them every day!"
Xie Ruling took a fancy to another set of light yellow skirts, just like the stamens of a newly blooming flower. It would be great if Chu Xin was the daughter she gave birth to when she was a concubine!
She will have something more precious to set off Chu Xin, but she doesn't take this little brocade in her eyes!
"Um!"
Chu Xin nodded shyly. In fact, as long as she could wear warm and comfortable clothes, she would be fine.
Just looking at the brocade put aside, she still felt a slight uneasiness in her heart. Whenever she thought about what happened last time, she really regretted it. If it happened again, she would never be with that Chu Yi. Any involvement.
"What's going on? Aren't you happy to have a new skirt to wear? Why is your face wrinkled again?"
Xie Ruling just sorted out all the clothes that were sent to her. When she turned around, she saw Chu Xin lowering her head in aggrieved manner. She really didn't know what she was thinking of.
"I just thought about the charcoal fire last time. I'm afraid that the brocade brought here will bring us trouble again like the charcoal fire last time."
Chu Xin worriedly said that what happened last time really left a deep grievance in his heart. Because of his stupidity, Xie Ruling suffered so much. She had never felt that she was so useless.
When she was in the room that day and heard the slaps being slapped on her body from outside, she felt really sad. She was really afraid that Xie Ruling would leave her. Her mother had already left, and she had already treated Xie Ruling. Aya becomes her mother.
At that time, I felt that with Xie Ruling as my mother, it was actually quite good for the two of them to live in the cold palace together. Although Xie Ruling was sometimes fierce, he knew that she was very good to him.
"Okay, okay, it's all over. The injuries on my body have already healed, so I don't care anymore." Xie Ruling felt warm in her heart and patted Chu Xin's head.
In fact, how could she care about these things? In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that this must be Zheng Yinghuan's plan. It is just to test whether her aunt will still protect her after so many years?
But she didn't expect it to be a miscalculation. Just because she got slapped that time, she decided to follow her aunt's wishes and go out first.
"I can't blame you for what happened last time. This was all a tactic used by people in the palace to fight. It's not that you're not worried about it. It's okay."
Xie Ruling simply held Chu Xin in her arms and coaxed her. She found that her temper seemed to be getting better and better. She used to be extremely pampered when she was a noble concubine.
Later, he was relegated to the cold palace, and he cursed at others, never letting himself suffer any loss. But when he faced Chu Xin, he really didn't want to be angry, he just wanted to coax this girl well.
After all, she had watched this girl grow up and raised her, so how could she be so vicious?
"Um."
Chu Xin nodded aggrievedly and reached out to hug Xie Ruling's waist.
As long as she thought about seeing Xie Ruling's bloody appearance that day, she would feel scared. Fortunately, she asked the doctor that time and got so many ointments that she was able to get better.
Xie Ruling held Chu Xin in her arms again and coaxed her. Chu Xin really enjoyed being coaxed like this. It seemed to bring her back to the time when she was acting coquettishly in her mother's arms.
After eating at noon, Xie Ruling planned to take out some quilts and other things to dry them. The sun finally came out today, and Chu Xin was running around with her.
Chu Xin had always been uneasy when she suddenly heard bursts of urgent footsteps outside. She was even more panicked when she heard such urgent footsteps.
"Is it because of the brocade? I knew there would be something wrong with it, but luckily we didn't use it indiscriminately."
Chu Xin turned back and glanced at the brocades in the room. Fortunately, they had not used them indiscriminately. They just put them on the table nearby. If someone came to ask for them, they could just give them away.
Xie Ruling also looked a little solemn. The news that she was leaving had only been known for a few days. She always felt that there was such a little movement in the palace. Zheng Yinghuan was probably going to be angry to death, right?
It was because of Zheng Yinghuan's temptation that day that she got beaten up, so she decided to go out. The attack that day was just a test. If he could endure it, Zheng Yinghuan's real difficulties would probably begin in the future.
She didn't want to suffer in the cold palace, nor did she want Xiaoxin to suffer in the cold palace with her. Xie Churou was telling the truth. While her aunt could still protect them, she should go out if she could!
"Ms. Tingbi, I'm really sorry. When I was delivering the clothes, Bu Chuxin made a mistake. I didn't realize that they were brocades that were going to be sent to your palace. Bu Chuxin sent them to Master Xie in the Leng Palace. I will go and get it back from you right now!”
It was the same little eunuch who had just come to deliver the clothes, but now he was even more condescending towards the concubine.
"Why are my things sent to a place like this? It's really shameful for you to do things on errands. But if they are sent here, if they are used by people in the cold palace, how can I use them? , do you want me to use the fabric used by such an unlucky person?"
The concubine covered her mouth with a handkerchief in disgust, and said that there was a strange smell when she came to Leng Palace, which was really unpleasant.
She rolled her eyes in disgust and looked around, how could she live in such a dirty place? I didn't expect Concubine Xie to have lived in such a place for eight years. She was really amazing!
At that time, everyone thought that Xie Ruling was in the cold palace just because of a moment of anger. I was afraid that she would be released within a few months. Unexpectedly, she stayed in the cold palace for eight years, which was really impressive.
I also heard that Xie Ruling was raising Princess Xin'er, which was really bold. Princess Xin'er was the daughter of the queen, and everyone knew what happened to the queen's family, right?
She even suspected that Xie Ruling deliberately wanted to go against His Majesty. Knowing that His Majesty did not like Princess Xin'er, the little crab chose to keep the princess.
But no matter what, it has nothing to do with her. She can come here today for the sake of Concubine Zheng. Who wants Concubine Zheng to be favored? Who makes her have to be obedient?
