"Did you ever hear anyone talking?"
Chu Yi frowned and looked at Yuexiang behind her. A flash of disgust flashed between her eyebrows. She knew who the voice belonged to.
"It seems to be Princess Xin'er?"
Yuexiang glanced in the direction of the sound, guessing that the princess might have heard who it was.
"Go over and have a look."
Chu Yi raised her eyebrows with interest. She didn't want to be harsh with Sister Ming of Chenzi's family, but she didn't care about Chu Xin.
Gu Ruowan followed behind with some doubts. She originally planned to go to see Concubine Jing and Princess Xin'er after sending her congratulatory gifts to Concubine Ting. Unexpectedly, she met Princess Xin'er here.
It's just that looking at Chu Yi like this, it seems that he is not doing well.
The two sisters Chu Xin and Chu Shu were talking happily, but when they saw a movement, the people who came were suddenly stunned.
"Sister Yi."
"younger sister…"
Chu Shu was stunned for a moment, and then showed a flattering smile. Every time she was in front of Chu Yi, she was always so humble and flattering, but she felt a little panic in her heart. She didn't expect to meet Chu Yi here.
Chu Xin called her sister, but it was just for the sake of face. She didn't want to have a sister like Chu Yi. She also knew that Chu Yi didn't want to hear her call her sister, but she didn't ignore Chu Yi's bored look.
"Ruowan has met the two princesses."
Gu Ruowan walked aside and greeted the two princesses respectfully. Her etiquette was always very thoughtful.
"What are you two doing here?" Chu Yi's eyes fell on Chu Shu, "I didn't know that you had such a good relationship with sister Xin'er. Didn't you always like to follow me behind you? Will there be someone else soon?"
There was a touch of ridicule and ridicule in her tone. She had always been like this and would not put anyone in her eyes, even Chu Shu, who was also a sister.
Chu Shu lowered her head in shame. She always looked like this. She was ridiculed and humiliated by Chu Yi every time.
Sensing something was wrong with Chu Shu, Chu felt a little distressed. She had also been a lot angry with Chu Yi, so it was okay in the cold palace. Now that she was out, she had more and more opportunities to see Chu Yi.
"I saw that Sister Shu'er and I were very attached to each other, so I invited my sister to come with me to visit the Royal Garden. Unexpectedly, I met Sister Yi'er here. If my sister doesn't mind, we sisters can go together. say something."
Chu Xin couldn't bear to let Chu Shu be wronged, so she quickly spoke and took the matter on herself.
"Sister Xin'er really impressed me. I thought you would be very uncomfortable after living in the cold palace for eight years. I didn't expect you to have both sides. You can speak eloquently and you are quite good at winning people's hearts. I just don't know what's going on. Who did you learn it from?”
Chu Yi sarcastically said that she not only hated Chu Xin, but also hated Concubine Jing!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see how Concubine Jing got out of the Cold Palace in the first place. Just as her mother said, she used some charming tricks to charm her father. That's why she not only left the Cold Palace, but also got the title of Concubine Jing. .
What kind of daughter could such a woman raise? Looking at Chu Xin's overestimation of her abilities, she found it a little funny. Sure enough, she was just an ignorant girl!
When he dared to break into Chuxiu Palace because of the carbon fire incident, he was so ignorant that he should have been taught a lesson!
Fortunately, she had given Chu Xin such a big humiliation that day, but she didn't expect that she was still not good at learning, and she was still so overconfident.
Chu Shu lowered her head and closed her eyes. It was like this every time. She always had to grit her teeth and endure it. Now she had to drag Chu Xin to suffer such humiliation.
"Princess's words are a bit unpleasant," Gu Ruowan said dissatisfied, "Princess, don't blame me. Princess Xin'er is also Princess Yi's sister after all. Princess Yi's words are really a bit unpleasant. I'm afraid it will hurt both of us." The sisterly love of a princess.”
Gu Ruowan really couldn't bear to listen. She knew that Princess Chu Yi was arrogant and willful, but she didn't expect that speaking in front of other princesses would be so unpleasant.
The words just now were not only satirical to Princess Xin'er, but they also poured dirty water on Concubine Jing. As a princess, she slandered His Majesty's concubines. It was really a bit willful!
"Does Miss Gu want to stand up for them?" Chu Yi turned her head funny and stared at Gu Ruowan, "Why are you interrupting when I'm talking to my sisters? Is a princess of the country qualified to speak in front of me?"
Chu Yi felt that everything was really not going well today. She was already very irritable. Not only was there Miss Gu beside her, but she also ran into Chu Xin.
One or two of them are so ignorant that I feel bored even if I take a second look at them!
"Princess, forgive me. I don't dare to contradict the princess. I also know that Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, loves the princess the most. But what the princess said just now was really too unpleasant, so I couldn't help but defend the two princesses."
Gu Ruowan gritted her teeth and lowered her head to apologize.
She was really lucky that she did not grow up in a palace. The beautiful people in this palace were infinitely beautiful, but the down-and-out people would be trampled under their feet.
Chu Xin and Chu Shu are both of His Majesty's blood, and both are princesses, but they are going to be ridiculed and humiliated by Chu Yi in front of her, and even she can't stand it anymore.
"Thank you, Miss Gu. This is all my fault. If my sister is angry, blame me!"
Chu Xin said guiltily, it's okay if others don't know, doesn't she know, this Chu Yi is the most difficult person.
When she first met Chu Yi, she originally thought she was a cute and cute little princess, but who would have thought that she would have such deep thoughts at such a young age!
She was also afraid that Miss Gu would be hated by Chu Yiji because she spoke for her. If she was really hated by Chu Yiji, not to mention what would happen in the future, I'm afraid it would be endless.
"Sister Xin'er is the best at pretending. When I was in the hall, I looked at you and gave you the charcoal fire, but I didn't expect that you stole the mother-in-law's red charcoal. I really didn't repay my kindness. , now in front of Miss Gu, do you also have to pretend to be pitiful and generous?"
Chu Yi smiled and said that it was funny when she mentioned the original incident. She originally thought that it would take some effort to plot against Chu Xin, but she didn't expect it to be so easy.
But this stupid person is easy to deal with.
Gu Ruoyuan didn't believe this. She had a lot of things to say in this palace. It wasn't like she wasn't clear about it. Maybe there was something fishy about the charcoal fire.
Over the years, she had vaguely heard about Chu Xin's life experience, and it was inevitable that she would feel some sympathy in her heart. Today, she saw Chu Xin being so generous, and she didn't believe that he would do something like that.
"Why are Sister Yi so aggressive? If there is anything wrong between me and Sister Xin'er, we will apologize. You shouldn't have come out and blocked your sister's way today. Sister Xin'er and I will just step back!"
This was the first time that Chu Shu spoke to Chu Yi so boldly. After speaking, she hesitated for a while. She never thought that she would be so bold to contradict Chu Yi.
But she didn't regret it at all. On the contrary, she felt a little relieved. She felt that some of her previous resentment had been vented. She just felt refreshed. No matter what kind of punishment she faced in the future, she was willing to accept it.
"You actually dare to talk to me like this. You are so bold. Weren't you very well-behaved in front of me in the past? Whose trick was it?"
Chu Yi never thought that the sister who was submissive in front of him would dare to contradict him so boldly!
All this happened because of Chu Xin. She was really good at deceiving people. She pulled her sister who used to be behind her to her side. She was really thoughtful!
"Sister Yi'er is being willful again."
It was a very nice sound, but it felt a little weak.
"Why is the eldest brother here?"
After seeing the people coming, Chu Yi calmed down her arrogant expression. She could be as arrogant as she wanted in front of the princess, but she still had to be a little more tolerant in front of the emperor's brother.
Chu Xin turned around in confusion and looked at the person who came over. He was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. He didn't seem to have much blood, and he looked like he had been sick all year round.
"This is the eldest brother. I haven't seen my sister before when she came out, but I can still see her now."
Chu Shu reminded in a low voice from the side that although the eldest brother was in poor health, he was still young and promising and was loved by his father. I guess Chu Yi did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of the eldest brother.
"I see."
Chu Xin nodded and looked at the eldest brother Chu Lin walking over and quickly saluted and said hello.
"If the eldest brother doesn't help my father with political affairs, why would he bother to come here?"
Chu Yi was dissatisfied and asked why everyone was having trouble with her today. She was already feeling very irritable and couldn't find anyone to vent her anger on. It was really frustrating!
"The imperial sister is making things difficult for you sisters again," Chu Lin nodded in return to Chu Xin and Chu Shu, knowing that Chu Yi was bullying others again, and he had been listening just now.
I didn't want to be troublesome at first, but I couldn't help but come over when I saw that these words were getting more and more outrageous.
Chu Yi snorted disdainfully and said nothing. Her mother and concubine had taught her that it didn't matter in front of her sisters, but she shouldn't go too far in front of the emperor's brother.
"This is the first time I've met sister Xin'er. Sister Xin'er is fine."
Chu Lin looked at Chu Xin and smiled, as gentle as jade, elegant and easy-going.
In fact, he had met Queen Mu when he was still young, but what happened later was too tragic. If those things hadn't happened, sister Xin'er was the legitimate princess, how could she be made things difficult for Chu Yi here?
"I've met the eldest brother."
Chu Xin was somewhat flattered that the eldest brother was so friendly to her. There were only a handful of people who were friendly to her since she came out. She didn't expect that the eldest brother was so friendly.
"You have already met me just now, so there is no need to be more polite."
Chu Lin smiled and said, just about to say something more, but he suddenly coughed again. He listened for a while longer, and the cold wind blew for a while, and his body couldn't bear it.
"Brother Emperor is weak, so it's better not to blow in the wind here. It's still so cold at the moment, so go back quickly!"
Chu Shu worriedly said that the eldest emperor brother had always been very friendly to the younger sisters, so she was really worried about his health.
"My daughter Gu Ruowan has met His Highness the First Prince."
Gu Ruowan finally realized that she was bold enough to forcefully speak to Chu Xin just now. If Chu Yi was really angry and punished her, she wouldn't be able to bear it.
Fortunately, the eldest prince is here, and Chu Yi doesn't dare to be willful even if he wants to come.
"No gift."
Chu Lin stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, forcing himself to hold back the feeling of coughing. Sometimes he also hated his weak body, so what if he got more praises from his father?
His body determines that he will never be able to sit in that position, and he will always only get superficial praise.
