"As expected, she is my most well-behaved and well-behaved daughter. She is also the smartest. Needless to say, you already understand!"
Xie Ruling smiled and rubbed Chu Xin's face. She had been doing well these days and her face had grown some flesh. It was not as dry as before.
“What are these skirt jewelry for?”
Chu Xin turned around and saw what Xie Churou had just sent over. They were some beautiful skirts, rouge and gouache, and some hairpins.
"We are about to go out, so of course we have to dress up nicely!"
Xie Ruling said indifferently. With those maintenance products during this period, her overall complexion looked much better, but it didn't have to be too good.
Just keep it simple like this. If you wear the red dress from the past, I'm afraid it won't look right.
"oh."
Chu Xin nodded half-knowingly, with a vague expectation in her heart. She could finally leave this cold palace and start a new life!
…
Chu Yi walked and walked in the imperial garden. Her mind was not on walking the cat at all. Although she came out on the pretext of going for a walk to play with the cat, she had no interest in the cat at all.
"What's wrong with the princess?"
Yuexiang followed behind, always feeling that the princess was a little strange these days. It was so cold today, and she always wanted to take the kitten out for a walk.
"Princess, why don't you go back? It's a bit cold today. If you get cold outside, your Majesty will blame us."
Yueying also persuaded softly.
But obviously Chu Yi didn't listen to these words and was still walking around in the imperial garden.
How could she not remember the route she took last time? Where is that Nanyuan?
After wandering around for several times, I found that no matter how hard I walked, I couldn't get to where I was last time, and I couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
"You two are really enough. You always talk in front of me. I don't need my mother to punish you. I will punish you now. Hurry up and slap me!"
Chu Yi turned around angrily and scolded her harshly. She was already annoyed at not being able to find that place, but the two slaves were always nagging behind her, which made her even more irritated!
"yes."
Yuexiang and Yueying slapped themselves hard several times, which was considered commonplace.
The little princess's temper was always very irritable like the queen's, and she was easily slapped by them.
After the beating, Chu Yi still felt unhappy, but she didn't want anyone to know the inexplicable feeling in her heart. She just wanted to find that place by herself.
But no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find it, and in the end I felt irritated and helpless.
"Princess, why don't you tell me where you want to go? Maybe I know?"
Yuexiang shrank her shoulders. The wind was still a bit cold at the moment. Although Chu Yi was wearing a furry cloak, she was afraid of getting cold from staying outside for a long time.
"You don't deserve to know about me!"
Chu Yi replied angrily, how could these slaves know the secret in her heart?
She just wanted to find that place by herself and not tell anyone else!
Yuexiang and Yueying could only look at it helplessly, hoping that the princess could go back early and not get into trouble with Fenghan.
"Sister Yi."
When she saw Chu Yi, Chu Yan originally wanted to walk away quietly, but she was still seen, so she could only come over to say hello.
"Why is it you?"
Chu Yi glanced at Chu Yan impatiently. This condescending look was very similar to the way Zheng Yinghuan taught his concubine.
"I wanted to go out for a walk today, but I didn't expect to meet my sister."
Chu Yan lowered her head, a little timid.
I regretted countless times in my heart, why I came out at this moment, and how I met Chu Yi. Every time I met Chu Yi, I would always be wronged.
"I think Princess Yun is really not good at educating her daughter. My father only likes princesses like me. You always keep your head down and look so cowardly. How can my father like you?"
Chu Yi walked around Chu Yan, and what she said was so mean.
Chu Yan lowered her head and gritted her teeth, not daring to make a sound.
In fact, she wanted to refute her in the past, but every time she contradicted Chu Yi, her mother-in-law would always scold her.
So after a long time, I didn’t dare to say or do anything. I just dared to lower my head and accept it.
Chu Yi just vented all her anger on Chu Yan. She couldn't find the place where she used to go. She was already very angry. Who made Chu Yan appear in front of her without eyes!
"Yes, only my sister is loved by my father."
Chu Yan resisted the urge to cry and could only echo like this.
"Sister Yi'er!"
There was another clear girl's voice, and a little girl in a light yellow skirt ran over.
"Sister Shu'er."
Facing Chu Shu, Chu Yi's face looked better. He was not as arrogant as he was when he was facing Chu Yan, but there was still a hint of arrogance.
"Greetings to Sister Yi'er!"
Chu Shu ran over and smiled sweetly, but there was a little bit of flattery in her smile.
"I didn't expect to meet two sisters when I came out today. It was really nice. Let's play together!"
Chu Shu smiled at Chu Yan again. It was obviously no longer that flattering, but more sincere. She had the most lively and cheerful temperament, and was also the best at reading people's eyes.
"No need, you can just play. I'm not interested in playing with you now."
Chu Yi pouted impatiently. She was not interested in playing with these sisters at all. It wasn't like she couldn't tell that these sisters just wanted to please herself.
The mother and concubine have told her many times that these empresses and princesses are bound to please each other whenever they get close to them. Who makes her and the mother and concubine the most loved by her father and the king?
"I see that my sister seems to be troubled. Why don't I tell her? I wonder what could make my sister so troubled?"
Chu Shu smiled again and did not take Chu Yi's arrogant look into her heart.
Her mother was a virtuous person but was not favored by her father, so she often advised herself to please her sister Yi'er.
So many times, even if I am really angry, I can only hold it back and smile.
"It's no need. I have nothing to say to you. You can go and play by yourselves!"
Chu Yi bit her lips impatiently and turned away directly. She had nothing to say to the two sisters in the first place!
Chu Yan is such a cowardly person. What can she say? Chu Shu is better, but she doesn't have anything to say.
Looking at Chu Yi's leaving figure, Chu Shu's eyes flashed with disgust.
Why is she so aloof and able to boss herself around? Why do she and her mother have to live in such a grievance!
"Sister Shu'er."
Chu Yan shouted softly. Just now she lowered her head and did not dare to raise her head. Now that Chu Yi is gone, she finally has some courage.
"Sister Yan'er."
Chu Shu showed a sincere smile to Chu Yan. Maybe they were of humble status, maybe they were bullied by Chu Yi, so the relationship between the two of them was considered good.
But it was just a good deal in private, and if Chu Yi saw it, it would probably embarrass them again, because Chu Yi always likes to have the sisters around her revolve around her.
"The front is Youran Pavilion. It's already out anyway, why don't we go sit there?"
Chu Shu took Chu Yan's hand and the two of them jumped to the pavilion. In fact, without Chu Yi around, the two of them felt free.
"How have you been, Mrs. Xian, lately?"
There were some pastries placed in the pavilion. Chu Yan took a piece of her favorite osmanthus cake, and Chu Shu took a chestnut cake. The two little girls took the pastries and ate them with gusto.
"It's pretty good, but my mother is always unhappy and feels that her status is humble. In fact, it's nothing."
Chu Shu blinked a little sadly. In fact, she knew in her heart that she would be bullied if she had a humble status in this harem.
Her mother's status was humble and her father didn't like her very much, so her life in the harem wasn't very good, but it didn't matter and she didn't care, because her mother was good enough to her.
"Actually, it would be great if my mother could be like your mother, but my mother always wants to please the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine is dismissive of us."
Chu Yan didn't want to eat as she was eating. When she mentioned her mother's matter, she felt aggrieved.
In fact, she didn't have such a cowardly character at first, but was very similar to Chu Shu. But every time her mother talked too much, her character became so cowardly that she didn't dare to say anything.
"Ms. Yunbi also wants you to live a better life."
Chu Shu said helplessly that although her father did not appoint another queen, he gave Concubine Zheng the right to control the harem, and all the concubines would go to please Concubine Zheng.
"But she doesn't know that it's precisely because of this that I'm having a hard time. I hope I can stay aloof from the world like the virtuous empress and not get involved in these things."
Chu Yan lowered her head and became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and her eye frames gradually turned red.
"Don't cry. If you think about it, our life is pretty good."
Chu Shu patted Chu Yan's hand and comforted her softly.
"Think about Princess Xin'er in the cold palace. She is still the princess of the former queen, but her life is worse than the rest of us. We all have the treatment of princesses, but she has nothing. How pitiful! "
Although she wanted to comfort Chu Yan with the princess in the cold palace, she also felt a little sympathy in her heart because her life was even worse than her own.
She had heard her mother say that life in the cold palace was very difficult, and she would definitely be short of clothes.
"That's really pitiful!" Chu Yan nodded, "But it seems that the father has promised to let Princess Xin'er come out. If she comes out, she can also enjoy the treatment of a princess!"
Chu Yan blinked back her tears. In fact, she was quite curious about Princess Xin'er.
In terms of age, Princess Xin'er is still their older sister, and Xin'er's mother was the original queen.
If the queen had not been deposed, her status would be higher than that of Concubine Zheng. Would she be more noble than Chu Yi?
"Sister, I think Sister Xin'er will be bullied by Sister Yi after she comes out. Sister Yi never likes us sisters to get in front of our father."
Chu Yan lowered her head with some worry in her eyes. It was precisely because she was afraid of being bullied by Chu Yi that she was worried that Chu Xin would also be bullied.
"She's so mean!"
Chu Shu looked around and saw that the person serving them was already standing outside the pavilion, so she cursed in a low voice.
In fact, how could there be no resentment in her heart? Chu Yi was always aloof in front of them, always so arrogant and unreasonable.
Obviously they are both sisters and princesses, but Chu Yi always treats them as slaves, and everyone will have resentment in his heart.
But in the end, they didn't dare to resist. Who made Chu Yi the daughter of Concubine Zheng? Who made Concubine Zheng equivalent to the position of queen? They were all so aloof, and they could only lower their heads in humility.
Chu Yan only felt in her heart that the scolding was really good, it was bad, it was very bad, it was too bad!
