Chu Xin looked at herself in the mirror in disbelief. Mingyu's skillful hands had just put a beautiful bun on her hair and inserted a few delicate hostas.
Holding the bronze mirror, I couldn't help but look left and right, and I couldn't help but indulge in these beautiful hair accessories. This was something I had never done before!
"The princess looks cute and cute. The slave only needs to dress up a little, and she is so cute!"
Mingyu smiled and said, first he was holding a few jade hairpins and gesturing on his hair. He knew that he was going to visit the imperial concubine and it was not advisable to dress too ostentatiously, so he simply took them down and only took one or two hairpins with him. Just right.
"You're going to see the imperial concubine later, so you better not dress up too well. Mother just said to dress up a little."
Chu Xin was a little worried. Although Concubine Zheng she met last time seemed nice on the surface, she still felt her malice towards her.
"Princess, don't worry, this is the simplest thing, and your Majesty won't notice it!"
Mingyu smiled and said, it seems that Princess Xin'er is really sensible.
"That's good," Chu Xin stood up and took a closer look, feeling quite satisfied.
When she went out, Xie Ruling saw Chu Xin's princess dress and nodded with satisfaction. This person relies on clothes, and she can look like a princess as long as she dresses up well!
In fact, Chu Xin's appearance is somewhat similar to Mu Wan's. Her oval face is really similar, and with a little bit of dressing up, she looks so pretty.
"I just said that my daughter is the most beautiful. She looks like a princess just by dressing up!"
Xie Ruling's happy and tender face was full of smiles, and the corners of her eyes and brows were full of smiles. She had paid so much for today, just to make her and Chu Xin's life better and better.
I don’t want to see Chu Xin shivering from the cold again, I just want to live the life a real princess should have like now!
Chu Xin pulled Xie Ruling's sleeve shyly, acting like a child in front of her.
On the way, Xie Ruling always gave a few words of advice. Zheng Yinghuan must be unhappy, so it was okay to embarrass her. What she was afraid of was to embarrass Chu Xin.
"Don't worry, mother, I will only stay with mother and I won't say anything wrong!"
Chu Xin nodded obediently all the time. She knew the importance of the matter and would never dare to do anything wrong.
Zheng Yinghuan had been waiting in Chuxiu Palace for a long time. She knew that Xie Ruling would bring the princess to pay her respects. Even if she was angry and itchy, she had to pretend to be generous.
But this was quite fun. When I first entered the palace, Xie Ruling was at her most prosperous. At that time, I could only grovel in front of her.
Unexpectedly, the status was reversed now, and it was Xie Ruling who had to bow down and greet her in front of her.
"My concubine, Jing Fei, comes to see the noble concubine. May the noble concubine be blessed and safe."
Having already made countless preparations in her mind, Xie Ruling led Chu Xin and walked over calmly, kneeling down under Zheng Yinghuan's sharp gaze.
"Xin'er has met the imperial concubine!"
Chu Xin knelt down. In fact, she had already met the imperial concubine last time, but now she was with Xie Ruling, so she would not be as panicked as last time.
"Get up," Zheng Yinghuan smiled and nodded, "I didn't expect that the two of us would see each other again like this. I remember when you decided to leave, I thought you would never come out in this life. No. I think I’ll be able to see you again!”
Anyone can hear the faint sarcasm in these words, but Xie Ruling doesn't care at all. She has been through the cold palace for so many years, will she still care about these few words?
"Your Majesty is thinking about me and is willing to let me out, so I have to be obedient. If the imperial concubine doesn't like it, then it's my fault?"
Xie Ruling stood up and replied generously. Chu Xin stood up and followed behind him in a dignified manner.
The corner of Zheng Yinghuan's mouth stiffened. It seemed that Xie Ruling still had the same arrogance as before. After eight years of training in the cold palace, her temper was still like this, and she was still as disgusting as before!
Even if I try to pretend, I can't pretend to be well-behaved and obedient. I really don't know why His Majesty has such a ban.
Concubine Jing, Xie Ruling has never looked so well-behaved and quiet. This title is really ironic!
"Princess Xin'er, this is the second time I have seen you.
Zheng Yinghuan's gaze shifted to Chu Xin, "I still remember the last time I saw you, I mistakenly thought you were a maid from which palace. I didn't expect that you really looked a bit like a princess when you dressed up today." Well, His Majesty has never abolished your status as a princess, and you will still be a princess after you come out. "
Zheng Yinghuan looked Chu Xin up and down, with a slight disdain in her eyes. Even if she wears this princess's clothes, how can she compare with her Yi'er?
So what can I do if I was a princess? Now I have to keep my head down at my feet!
"Thank you for your compliments, your concubine. If nothing happens to your concubine, I will take the princess to see the Queen Mother."
Xie Ruling gritted her teeth. She didn't want to hear any sarcastic words about Chu Xin. No matter what she thought, her daughter was the best in her heart. Even if she had been beaten and scolded before, she didn't want to hear such words from outsiders. Satire.
Chu Xin didn't care, she didn't care what others said anyway, she only cared about her mother.
"Looking at you like this, I thought that these eight years were just a blink of an eye," Zheng Yinghuan stared at Xie Ruling, "I thought that these eight years would definitely make you older. I didn’t expect it to look pretty good, no wonder it made His Majesty feel pity for her!”
Zheng Yinghuan gritted his teeth with hatred when he mentioned this. What happened last night was probably the plan of Xie Ruling and Xiao Chu.
She said that this Xiaochu must be a deep-minded person. He usually seems to be indifferent to the world, but in fact he is very deep-minded!
She couldn't believe that without Xiaochu's secret help, Xie Ruling could come out so smoothly last night and go to the Plum Garden. It must have been Xiaochu who led His Majesty to the Plum Garden!
This damn bitch!
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to think about what happened in the past and how it is now. I think the noble concubine should have a clear heart."
Xie Ruling raised her head and stared into Zheng Yinghuan's eyes. In fact, Zheng Yinghuan had not changed at all after so many years. She was still as beautiful as before.
After so many years of pampering, how could there be any change?
Zheng Yinghuan smiled stiffly, feeling really full of regret in her heart. Why hadn't Xie Ruling been quietly put away in the cold palace for so many years?
"Mother concubine!"
A crisp baby voice came, it was Chu Yi.
"Yi'er has met Concubine Jing and Sister Xin'er," Chu Yi smiled sweetly, "I had long heard that Concubine Jing was bringing Sister Xin'er over to pay her respects, so I wanted to come over and take a look. Your Majesty, you won’t mind Yi’er’s intrusion, right?”
Chu Yi looked at Chu Xin with a sweet smile, just like the one she had in the Internal Affairs Hall that day, as if what happened that night had never happened.
"Princess Bingxue is smart, delicate and cute, and I also like her very much. Why would you find it disturbing?"
Xie Ruling smiled.
"That's great!"
Chu Yi nodded, lifted up her skirt, trotted up to Zheng Yinghuan, and then looked down at the people below.
She just likes this feeling, likes to look at the people standing below from a high position, and also likes to show off her power next to her mother and concubine.
Chu Xin had some strange feelings in her heart. She really felt that Chu Yi was used to pretending to be so cute and cute.
Last time she saw how well-behaved Chu Yi was, so she took over the pot of charcoal fire. She didn't expect to cause so much trouble, and she would never fall for Chu Yi's trick again in the future!
"Yi'er, that's your sister Xin'er. You have a sister who is older than you in the future palace. Are you happy?"
Zheng Yinghuan hugged Chu Yi and smiled.
"Of course I'm happy. Normally I am the only sister in front of the princess sister. Now Yi'er also has a sister. I'm really happy!"
Chu Yi smiled and nodded, and the little bell hanging on her bun jingled.
Hearing the sound of the bells ringing, Chu Xin immediately remembered what happened that night. She hated the sound of the bells ringing. She really hated it.
"As long as sister Yi'er is happy."
Chu Xin showed a smile.
"Mother and concubine, do you still remember that night when sister Xin'er came to ask my father to hire an imperial doctor?" Chu Yi smiled sweetly, but her words were so cruel.
"I remember that night when sister Xin'er imitated the way a kitten crawled on the ground, it was so beautiful. It's a pity that I won't be able to see it anymore!"
When Xie Ruling heard this, she immediately bit her lips. She knew that what happened that night would never be so easy. She didn't expect Chu Xin to suffer such a great humiliation!
Chu Xin held back the tears. The humiliating scene was still vivid in her mind, but it didn't matter, it really didn't matter. At least she really hired an imperial doctor that day.
It’s worth it, it’s really worth it!
"Yi'er, it's better not to talk nonsense. Princess Xin'er is your sister. You two sisters should get along well and don't let your father worry about things in the harem."
Zheng Yinghuan smiled and patted Chu Yi on the head. She said that this good daughter was really useful. Her daughter could say many things that she could not say herself.
Seeing Xie Ruling gnashing her teeth angrily, she felt very comfortable in her heart. Did she still think that she was the noble concubine now? Did she still think that she was the noble princess of the past?
But that's all, it's nothing more than that, he has to bow his head in front of her and Yi'er!
"Concubine Jing, Your Majesty once told you not to talk about what happened back then. I also know that you have been thinking about it in the cold palace these years, so I am generous and will not care about these things anymore. From now on, we are sisters and must get along well with each other! "
Speaking of what happened back then, Xie Ruling still felt a little bit upset in her heart. She was hating herself for being so impulsive and hating herself for having suffered for so many years!
In fact, His Majesty had already determined that she was the one who did it. The worst thing he could do was admit it, so why should he be so impulsive and go to the cold palace?
After staying in the cold palace for so many years, I realized that it was really ridiculous!
"Yes, I know."
Xie Ruling smiled and nodded. She no longer took these things to heart, so no matter how Zheng Yinghuan used the original incident to stimulate her, it didn't matter.
She was going to visit her aunt later, but she felt a lot of guilt towards her. Thanks to her aunt's care and concern for her, she was able to survive in the cold palace.
Otherwise, Zheng Yinghuan would have quietly disappeared into the cold palace long ago by playing tricks.
"Okay, please step back. If you stay here for a long time, I'm afraid there will be rumors that this palace has no room for people!"
