"Actually, no matter how you have changed, I quite like the way you look now. I never thought you would become like this."
There was a hint of joy in Chu Yu's tone. He really liked Xie Ruling who was so gentle at the moment, which made him feel that these eight years might have been worth it.
It is a good thing that Xie Ruling can realize her mistakes and bow to herself.
Xie Ruling didn't speak, just walked quietly in this plum forest. It turns out that people's hearts can really change.
She was so happy when she first saw this piece of plum forest, but now she feels so boring. The things that once made her feel so happy now feel tasteless.
"My mother said she wanted you to come out. In fact, I was willing in my heart. But at that time, all I could think of was the image of you who left eight years ago. But now that I saw you with my own eyes, I realized that things were not what I thought. , it turns out that you have sincerely repented."
Chu Yu couldn't help but squeeze Xie Ruling's hand tightly again. He had not held these hands in eight years.
"I should be glad that I can finally see His Majesty tonight and let His Majesty know my heart. If His Majesty keeps misunderstanding me, I am afraid that these eight years of my life have been in vain. That's why I want to stay with His Majesty tonight and give all my Tell Your Majesty all your thoughts."
Xie Ruling lowered her head and looked at the ground. There were many fallen petals from plum blossoms on the ground. When she stepped on them, the petals stuck to the soles of her shoes.
My heart is already dead, what's the use of keeping these petals?
Chu Yu nodded slightly with satisfaction. He was very satisfied, really satisfied, seeing that the woman who was rebellious at the beginning finally turned into such a docile look.
It seems that he was right in not stopping Xie Ruling from going to the cold palace. Only after so many years of training can he hone his favorite temperament.
He did like the indulgent and willful Xie Ruling at the beginning, but he liked such a gentle and obedient woman even more, so now Xie Ruling has won his heart even more.
"The docile and obedient look you have now is really an unexpected surprise. I really like your look like this very much. If you were so well-behaved back then, you wouldn't have acted in such a rage out of anger. .”
Chu Yu squeezed Xie Ruling's hand tighter and tighter, feeling a hint of regret in his heart for not taking the person out of the cold palace earlier.
If I had known earlier that Xie Ruling had become so pliable, I wouldn't have left her to fend for herself in the cold palace. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's still too late.
…
Something big happened in the palace that night. When Xie Churou returned to the palace, the smile on her lips was still so obvious. She knew that most of the things tonight would be successful!
Your Majesty still has Xie Ruling in his heart. He was so favored when he first entered the palace, and now he can like her a second time, as long as Xie Ruling controls her temper.
Zheng Yinghuan was really shocked when she got the news. She never thought that things would turn out like this. Looking at the concubine sitting below, she sighed impatiently.
"I guess you all know what happened last night. I never imagined that things would turn out like this!"
There was a bit of sourness in these words. Over the years, she had always felt resentful towards Xie Ruling in the cold palace. It was because when she first entered the palace, she saw how His Majesty doted on Xie Ruling. .
She was able to win His Majesty's favor in the first place because she was eager to have a child, so she took advantage of the opportunity to set up Xie Ruling, and that's why she decided to go to the cold palace.
Even though Xie Ruling went to the cold palace, she was still a little worried. Unexpectedly, eight years later, her worries would finally come true!
After all, His Majesty was attracted by Xie Ruling and finally brought her back.
"Mother, maybe this is just following the wishes of the Queen Mother? If Your Majesty really liked her, he would have taken her out long ago. Why wait eight years? I'm afraid you don't like her much in your heart, right?"
Concubine Li said tentatively. It could be seen that the imperial concubine was really angry. In fact, that was all in their hearts. After all, they were mentally prepared.
Everyone knew that Xie Ruling was loved by His Majesty the most, but now it is normal for him to like her a second time.
"Yes, it's better not to think too much, concubine. I think Sister Li Fei is right. If you really cared about her, you would have come out long ago, and you wouldn't have to wait so long."
The Ting concubine felt like she was nodding in agreement, but seeing Zheng Yinghuan's face getting darker and darker, her heart was beating. Is this incident really making the imperial concubine really angry?
But who could have guessed it accurately? Who knew that His Majesty brought Xie Ruling to his palace last night and even gave her the title of concubine? Why?
Originally, Xie Ruling's position as a noble concubine had been abolished. Why did she become a concubine when she came out? She was even ranked higher than her. Then I really don't know what to do when we meet in the future!
"I heard that the imperial edict has been issued, saying that the imperial concubine's position was restored and she was given a residence in Zhongcui Palace. I didn't expect that His Majesty still has her in his heart after so many years. Is it really strange?"
Concubine Jia was also a little dissatisfied. She originally thought that after she came out, she would just give her the position of a nobleman for the sake of the Queen Mother. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty actually gave the position to a concubine with a wave of his hand. Why? Why should he be so nice to her? !
At first, I thought that Xie Ruling had suffered a lot in the past eight years, and her appearance would never be as radiant as before, but I didn't expect that she would still be where she is today.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Zheng Yinghuan reprimanded, she really didn't want to listen to these chirping voices anymore, she just felt that her heart was going to be angry to death, she was really going to be angry to death, she took every precaution, but in the end, she couldn't guard against anything!
What happened last night must have something to do with Concubine Shu. She didn't believe that Xie Ruling alone could achieve that point. The two of them must be in harmony with each other!
If I had known earlier, I should have dealt with Concubine Shu Shu very hard, and taught him a lesson to prevent him from doing such a thing under his nose. But now it's too late, it's too late for everything.
I'm afraid His Majesty's heart is full of freshness towards Xie Ruling. Yes, he hasn't seen her in eight years. Doesn't it feel fresh to see her again now?
Several concubines looked at each other and kept their mouths shut. They thought it was nothing. I am afraid that the imperial concubine was really angry to death.
Why did Xie Ruling go to the cold palace out of anger in the first place? It was because everything accused her of harming the child in the imperial concubine's belly.
At the beginning, everyone thought that Xie Ruling was so angry that she wanted to harm the imperial concubine's child and feel shameful after being found out, so she voluntarily went to the cold palace. Has Your Majesty forgotten this?
Your Majesty has forgotten, I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine has not. That's why the Imperial Concubine is so brooding about Xie Ruling.
"So what if we haven't seen each other for eight years? Now His Majesty likes whatever he says he likes. What can I do? Can I drag Xie Ruling into the cold palace again?"
Zheng Yinghuan said dissatisfiedly, squeezing the Xiupa in her hand tighter and tighter. She really regretted that she had not found a chance to quietly deal with Xie Ruling in the past eight years.
It's okay now. Everyone has come out. From now on, he will stand in front of him openly, but it will be difficult to do anything.
The Queen Mother always wanted to protect Concubine Shu and Xie Ruling. No matter how much she hated them, it was really hard for her to take action. It was really troublesome!
"I think it's better for your Majesty to stay calm. People are going to come out anyway, and His Majesty has already agreed to it some time ago. We all had a preparation in mind, but we didn't expect that the position given to her would actually be It’s so high. But at least it’s under the eyes of the empress, so I’m afraid there won’t be any trouble!”
Concubine Jia smiled and consoled her carefully. Although they were a little dissatisfied with such a high status, after all, Xie Ruling was going to come out, wasn't it just a matter of time?
Who would let someone belong to the Queen Mother? Couldn’t someone just come out with just a word from the Queen Mother?
"Yes, yes, your Majesty, you don't have to worry about yourself. After all, the harem still belongs to you. Your Majesty still trusts your Majesty and gave you the right to take charge of the harem. No one can replace this!"
The concubine Ting agreed in a good voice. She knew what the imperial concubine wanted to hear, so she would say what she said. In fact, what she said was the truth.
The imperial concubine's status is now stable and she has the right to control the harem. His Majesty also deeply trusts the imperial concubine. With the prince and princess beside her, she is quite popular with his majesty. She has the greatest confidence.
As for Xie Ruling, it just gave His Majesty some freshness in the first few days after she came out. After a long time, won't it just be like that?
"Concubine, I heard that Princess Xin'er will also come out of the cold palace and say that she will live in Zhongcui Palace with Xie Ruling?"
Li Fei thought deeply, everyone knew the status of Princess Xin'er, why did Xie Ruling have to keep this princess by her side?
"It's just a princess. Your Majesty doesn't care. What do we care about? She likes to keep her by our side, so let's keep her!"
Zheng Yinghuan said disdainfully, so what if she was the princess who was the direct descendant of the queen? Didn't she humiliate her severely? Wasn't she no better than her own princess?
It was nothing more than that, she didn't take it to heart at all. What made her feel uneasy was Xie Ruling's existence.
"That's true."
Concubine Jia nodded, and she was thankful that she gave birth to a princess. If she had been a prince, she would have died long ago, but she was lucky that she was able to live so long as a princess!
"Okay, please step aside. I will go to discuss these matters with His Majesty later."
Zheng Yinghuan stood up impatiently, put her hand on the palace servant's and left. She was really annoyed now and had no time to talk to these people anymore.
When I think about having to bestow this title on Xie Ruling later, I really feel panicked in my heart. Xie Ruling doesn't deserve these at all, she doesn't deserve anything!
"Concubine, please retire."
The concubines stood up and left.
"Every time the imperial concubine is angry, she will always sneer at us. We have long been used to it."
Li Fei's words were full of slight complaints. If possible, who would want to look at people's faces all day long?
"It's a good day today, just bear with it."
The concubine Ting comforted her, in fact, Li Fei and the others were not bad at all. They were still concubines, and they didn’t dare to do too much. It was because their status was too low. She was the most angry many times, but she endured it all. I didn’t say anything when I came down!
"It's good to let Xie Ruling come out. At least it can suppress the spirit of the imperial concubine."
Concubine Jia smiled slightly. Anyway, the favor they received was nothing more than this. It was none of their business if His Majesty liked anyone now, and they would not be the ones who should be anxious.
Just stand on the sidelines and watch the show, that's all.
