Zheng Yinghuan waved her hands in disgust. Anyway, what could they do at this time? His Majesty had just warned her, and it was clear that he did not want her to hurt Xie Ruling, who was feeling fresh at the moment.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the days are long, and there will be opportunities to torture them slowly in the future!
"Yes, I will retire."
Xie Ruling took Chu Xin's hand and retreated. She knew that Zheng Yinghuan did not dare to do anything at the moment. After all, His Majesty was still watching, but it might be a little difficult in the future.
"Mother, I really hate them, I really hate them!"
As soon as the man retreated, Chu Yi immediately lost his temper, and his mouth was so pouting that it almost reached the sky.
As soon as she came in and saw Chu Xin, she felt unhappy. She was obviously of low status and only deserved to stay in the cold palace. Why did she come to the Chuxiu Palace to be an eyesore?
Why!
I'm afraid it's because of Concubine Jing's charming character that she can use her charming skills to seduce her father. Otherwise, why would the father love them so much and want to let them out!
"What's so annoying? In the past, when my mother-in-law first entered the palace, she was the superior concubine. Now my status with her has been reversed. Today is different from the past. She needs to bow her head in front of me, not to mention Your father is just a little bit new to Concubine Jing, and it will be nothing more than that in a month or two at most!"
Zheng Yinghuan stared at the place where Xie Ruling had stood just now, with a murderous look in his eyes.
Since you want to do everything possible to get out, then bear the price of getting out. You have everything now.
Whether it was the right to control the harem or the prince and princess, she already had all the confidence, but she wanted to see how Xie Ruling would fight her!
"snort!"
Chu Yi still couldn't help but groan, but at least she wasn't so angry anymore.
"Mother, I want to go out and play!"
Thinking of the things that had been on her mind, Chu Yi pulled Zheng Yinghuan's sleeves and acted coquettishly, just like an innocent and lovely first princess.
"Go on, go on. I know you are in a bad mood. Take Yuexiang and Yueying with you to the imperial garden to relax. Come back when you feel better!"
Zheng Yinghuan shook her head helplessly and pinched Chu Yi's face. She was just such a daughter, such a well-behaved and obedient daughter. She really couldn't bear to let her daughter be unhappy in any way.
"My mother-in-law is so kind!"
Chu Yi immediately beamed.
…
"Concubine Jing, the Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time," Aunt Jin said respectfully, and when she turned to Chu Xin, who was standing next to Xie Ruling, she felt a little pity.
"I'll go in right now," Xie Ruling said guiltily, thinking that after all these years of being angry with her, her aunt was also feeling unhappy. Otherwise, why would she let Xie Churou enter the palace, and why would she often go to the cold palace to talk to her.
Just as he was holding Chu Xin's hand, he was about to go in, but was stopped by Aunt Jin again.
"The Queen Mother said that she wants to see Concubine Jing first and has something to say with her alone. Princess Xin'er will wait outside for a while!"
"That's fine," Xie Ruling nodded and looked down at Chu Xin beside her, "Xin'er, just wait for me outside. Follow this aunt and don't walk around."
"I see!"
Chu Xin nodded vigorously and walked to Aunt Jin obediently.
Xie Ruling took a deep breath. She had thought about the scene of meeting again countless times, but when she actually went in, she inevitably felt a little timid.
She has made her aunt worry for so many years, just because she gambled for so many years. Is it worth it? It is really not worth it at all!
Looking at it now, I just feel how stupid my original decision was.
"You're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you're standing outside and don't dare to come in?"
The Queen Mother had already touched the hem of Xie Ruling's skirt. Seeing the man standing outside and not daring to come in, she shook her head helplessly.
No matter how much I hated iron for failing to become steel, now I am left with nothing but helplessness and heartache. How could I really be willing to say a few more words of blame?
"It's Ru Ling's fault. I did such a stupid thing out of anger back then. Now that I have experienced the consequences, I feel extremely regretful. If time went back to the past, I would never do such a stupid thing out of anger!"
As soon as Xie Ruling walked in, she knelt down and kowtowed heavily. She regretted it. She really regretted it!
I regret that I took such a gamble just for the sake of it, I regret that all my sincerity was wrongly paid, and I regret even more that I have worried my aunt for so many years.
In fact, the only thing she gained from being in the cold palace for so many years was Chu Xin. Without Chu Xin's company, she really didn't know how she would survive in the cold palace.
"You just came out of the cold palace, why are you kneeling down to me? Get up quickly. You have already suffered the punishment you deserve. If I punish you again, your body will no longer be able to bear it!"
The Queen Mother felt distressed and said, after all, she was her favorite niece back then. Looking at her now, she is really haggard!
You have already suffered what you deserve, and people will eventually have to pay the price for their recklessness, and this price is enough.
Xie Ruling wiped the tears from her face and lifted up her skirt and stood up, but she still did not dare to look at the Queen Mother and could only look down at the ground.
"At the beginning, I only got the news that you were willing to invite yourself to the cold palace. If you could put away your temper and deal with His Majesty for a little while, the matter would not have become such a mess if it was left to me to solve!" The Queen Mother said with emotion! .
"I know you have the most arrogant temperament, but where is this place? This is the harem. The most important thing is to be arrogant and sharp-tongued. Have you suffered enough now? If I didn't protect you secretly, how afraid are you? He has been freezing to death in the cold palace for a long time, but will he ever come out safe and sound like he is now?"
"Yes, thank you aunt for still remembering me, thank you for saving my life!" Xie Ruling choked, "What my aunt said is that it's just that I was too young and didn't understand these principles. Now that I have suffered so much, it's okay. Understood."
"That's good," the Queen Mother waved to Xie Ruling and asked her to come over. Then she looked carefully at her hands, which were already rough and rough. They were really too thin.
"Concubine Jing, the title given to you by Your Majesty is Concubine Jing," the Queen Mother thought carefully and suddenly smiled, "Do you know that this is His Majesty's warning to you. I don't know what your plans were that night, but Your Majesty knew it all. You know it, maybe His Majesty is willing to let you out for my sake, but the price is that you have to bear the title of Concubine Jing."
When Xie Ruling first entered the palace, who didn't know that she was the most arrogant and willful, and she simply couldn't stop for a moment.
Whatever rewards His Majesty has, you must wear them and carry them with you, and show them to all the concubines in the palace to show how favored you are.
But now he has been given such a title in order to let Xie Ruling live in peace and quiet from now on. What else could this be but a warning?
"I know, I know everything," Xie Ruling smiled and nodded, "Aunt, but I don't care anymore. I really don't care at all. I just want my future life to be good, and I just want my heart to be happy." My son’s life is also good.”
"You know that Chu Xin's mother Mu Wan really died in the cold palace, and it was His Majesty's acquiescence. It means that His Majesty really has no feelings for Mu Wan, and he will not have any feelings for her daughter!"
The Queen Mother's words were very cold and heartless.
In fact, isn't she herself such a cruel and ruthless person? She doesn't want to ruin the relationship between mother and child anymore, so she no longer cares about the Mu family's affairs. In the cold palace, she can only take care of Xie Ruling and ignore others.
So Mu Wan died of freezing cold in the cold palace, so looking at Mu Wan's daughter always felt a bit unpleasant.
Three parts guilt and seven parts indifference, at best, she could wait until Chu Xin grows up to be betrothed to someone else and marry her off, and never be allowed to enter the palace again.
"I know. I was around when Mu Wan died. I watched it all happen with my own eyes."
Xie Ruling lowered her eyes. She was the only one who knew that Chu Xin died because of Mu Wan, but she killed someone with her own hands.
But so what, what big deal is this? What does it mean if the majestic princess kills a slave, not to mention that the slave deserves to die!
"Since you have brought people out, let's leave it like this. You can walk your own path from now on."
The Queen Mother patted Xie Ruling's hand heavily, with endless worry in her eyes.
"That's all, the kid is still outside. Let him come in."
The Queen Mother sighed, she had to face what she had to face. At first, she ignored the affairs of the Mu family, but she did not expect that after Ruling went to the cold palace, she would have such a deep bond with Mu Wan's daughter.
Xie Ruling finally felt a little happy, and quickly went out to pull over Chu Xin, who was waiting outside.
"Xin'er, this is your imperial grandmother, hurry up and meet your imperial grandmother!" Xie Ruling said with a smile.
"Xin'er sends my regards to the Imperial Grandmother, may the Imperial Grandmother be blessed with peace and happiness!"
As soon as Chu Xin came in, she felt a gaze fixed on her. If she thought it was nothing when she went to see Concubine Zheng, she was a little nervous now.
The person in front of her is the Queen Mother, her father's mother, and her royal grandmother.
"Get up," the Queen Mother smiled kindly, "It's your ability to grow up so big in the cold palace. Since God wants to keep you, no one can say anything!"
"My mother took care of me, so I grew up like this!"
Chu Xin raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother. She knew that the Queen Mother should be a very good person, because the Queen Mother was her mother's aunt, and it was mostly the Queen Mother's wish to go out this time.
"Ru Ling, I really didn't expect that you and Xin'er have such a deep bond."
The Queen Mother said with emotion that it was quite good. They were the ones who had failed the Mu family in the first place. Ru Ling was able to raise Chu Xin to such a big age, which could be regarded as a good deed for them.
"Yes," Xie Ruling looked at Chu Xin and smiled, "The fate between people is really uncertain. It is precisely because of Xin'er's company that I was able to spend so long in the cold palace."
In fact, even now that I have come out, the past experience is still vivid in my mind. Now I feel a little uncomfortable wearing soft silk and satin. I am used to wearing coarse linen clothes in the cold palace.
"Empress Jing Fei is my mother, and I only recognize her as my mother now."
Chu Xin blinked, and all kinds of tenderness of her biological mother flashed quickly in her mind, but that was already in the past after all.
She will be very obedient and will never mention anything about her biological mother again after she comes out. She knows that the palace does not want to mention anything about that year again, so she will not mention it again.
But in the deepest memory, there will always be the most gentle side of my biological mother.
