"What is Concubine Jia doing? Is she bullying her like this while her master is unconscious?"
Seeing her master being bullied, Ruyi naturally couldn't stand aside, but no matter how anxious she was at this moment, it was useless. Concubine Li and Concubine Jia were not people she could afford to offend.
Not to mention that they have been abandoned at this moment and cannot even guarantee the most basic food and clothing. How can they have the courage to fight with the two concubines?
"The concubine in the pavilion doesn't know how to behave, so what if she gets beaten? Do you still think that you are the concubine in the pavilion who is pampered by thousands of people?" Li Fei said disdainfully.
"The child in the concubine's belly is gone. His Majesty has also said personally that he does not want to see her again. Now you have some confidence to yell in front of me!"
Li Fei stood up and watched everything with interest. Since Ting Bin was said to be crazy, it was okay to test it. A madman shouldn't be able to feel the humiliation, right?
Sure enough, Ting Bin just covered her face. She only knew that her face had been hit and it hurt a lot. Her mouth was opening and closing in a daze, and she didn't know what she was saying.
"It seems you are indeed crazy!"
Concubine Jia pinched Ting Bin's face hard and looked at the other person's expression carefully. She only saw Ting Bin's painful look. It looked like she was acting like a madman, and she didn't know what humiliation felt like.
"In that case, we might as well go back and do business. His Majesty doesn't want to see you, and the empress doesn't like you either. So my sister should stay well in her palace and don't go out and be an eyesore!"
Jia Fei shook Ting Bin away fiercely. Since she and Li Fei had completed their mission this time, they didn't want to stay in this unlucky place. Now I'm afraid Ting Bin would become a cold palace.
After Concubine Li and Concubine Jia left, Ruyi dared to go up. She covered her mouth not to cry.
The master was already so pitiful. If she cried again, she might make him cry too.
"It hurts, it hurts."
Ting Bin threw herself into Ruyi's arms aggrievedly, covering her face that had just been slapped with all her strength. The slap just now was quite strong.
Maybe Concubine Jia knew that Tingbi would never get up again in the future, so she dared to deal such a harsh blow. Anyway, she just hit her, so what else could she do?
"Your Majesty, these slaves are useless. I can't protect you!"
Ruyi hugged the concubines and cried loudly. Now that their lives are like this, they still have to suffer the humiliation of Concubine Li and Concubine Jia. They just said that they were going back to recover. I am afraid that all this is really the intention of the concubine.
It seems that the master really offended the imperial concubine when she was pregnant, causing her to hold a grudge to this day.
"From now on, I will only stay in the palace with you. Don't go out. It's too dangerous outside!"
Ruyi patted Tingpin's back gently, saying that no matter what, this life will go on, even if she is crazy, she still has to live well.
Ting Bin said nothing and rested her chin on Ruyi's shoulder. At this moment, her face did not look so crazy, but only filled with unforgettable hatred.
The slap just now was really hard, and I felt that my face was already swollen. Li Fei and Jia Fei, who were once friends with me, couldn't help but come over and add insult to injury.
Everyone knew that she would probably be like this for the rest of her life and would never get up again, so she dared to bully herself like this.
But what she hated more was Concubine Zheng. She knew that when she was useful, she did show off in front of the concubine, but she never thought that the concubine had such a vicious heart and would only give up if she was harmed like this.
Could it be that she had no credit but also hard work under the imperial concubine's hands over the years, and never did she act in accordance with the imperial concubine's wishes? But she didn't expect that the result would still be like this, and she didn't get any sympathy from the imperial concubine.
She hates it so much, she really hates it!
…
"Xin'er has met the virtuous empress."
Chu Xin went to Qingling Palace to see Chu Shu, but she didn't expect that when she went there, she saw a noble person. After seeing her, she immediately became obedient and bowed down to salute.
"Princess, please get up. There is no need to be polite."
The noble man forced a smile. To be honest, she really didn't want her daughter to have a relationship with Chu Xin. She had already suffered such a big loss, couldn't she learn a lesson?
Maybe Chu Xin is indeed very well-behaved and sensible, and it seems that she likes this princess very much, but there is no way, the imperial concubine will always be a big mountain above her head, and they cannot afford to fight!
This time I fell into the lotus pond and was lucky enough to save my life, but what if I don't have such good luck next time? I will only have one daughter!
"Mother Xian, I came here to see Sister Shu'er. I haven't seen her for a long time since she fell into the water last time, so I came to take a look in person."
Chu Xin looked at Xiangui with some flattery. She knew that Xiangui didn't want Sister Shu to play with her, so she tried her best to leave a good impression.
"Princess Xin'er," Xian Guizhen was a little embarrassed, "let me tell you the truth. It's not that there's nothing wrong with the princess. I'm very happy that you can get along so well with Shu'er. But it's not going to end well for the noble concubine. I want to come to Concubine Jing. Your Majesty also knows..."
Looking at such a sincere child, the noble person could not say anything unpleasant, but for the safety of her daughter, she had no choice!
Chu Yi has the most arrogant temperament, just like a noble concubine. As long as there is someone who can't stand it, that person will definitely be bullied to death.
She really didn't want her daughter to get hurt again.
This is just a mother's painstaking efforts. Whether you call her cowardly or following the crowd, she just wants to protect her daughter. What's wrong with that?
Hearing this, Chu felt a little aggrieved, but she actually understood the reasoning behind it. Because Concubine Zheng and Chu Yi didn't like her and her mother, most people in the harem didn't dare to get close to them.
In fact, she wouldn't hate anything. After all, most people just want to protect themselves. Now that Concubine Zheng has the right to control the harem, who dares to fight with Concubine Zheng?
It’s just that I really like Chu Shu, a good sister.
"Princess Xin'er, don't blame me for speaking too harshly. I know you are a smart child, and you should also understand the truth..."
Facing Chu Xin's aggrieved look with his head lowered, Xiangui felt distressed and guilty. He knew that what he said might have deeply hurt this child, so just regard it as his own fault!
But there was really nothing she could do, she just wanted to protect her daughter.
"Xian Niang, can you let me go and see sister Shu'er first? If nothing happens, I can go back. I just won't come to see my sister in the future."
Chu Xin's eyes were a little moist. This was her first good sister, and she didn't want to hurt the other party because of her existence. It would be fine if she saw her this time but never saw her again.
As long as Sister Shu can be well, she will not get close to any princess in front of Chu Yi in the future, so as not to be targeted by Chu Yi.
"Princess Xin'er is indeed very sensible, just think that I am sorry for you."
The noble lady felt ashamed. She felt that she had hurt the child's innocent heart. She could see that Chu Xin did treat her daughter like a good sister.
If there were no imperial concubine and Chu Yi, maybe the two of them would be a pair of very good sisters, but like this, she wouldn't dare to take a chance.
"The mother-in-law is talking nonsense again, but I heard it all!"
Chu Shu walked in from behind the screen with an unhappy look on her face. Just after she finished drinking the medicine, she heard the sound of Chu Xin coming in. Just as she was about to go out, she heard what her mother-in-law said.
Unexpectedly, what the mother-in-law said was still so unpleasant. Looking at Chu Xin, she was already crying!
"Why did you come out?"
Seeing his daughter come out, Mr. Xiangui felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that his daughter would listen to what he just said. He was really embarrassed.
She also knows that saying such words to a child is really a bit bullying, so just think of it as the disgraceful thing she just did!
"I haven't seen you since you fell into the water last time. I came over to see you. How are you?"
Chu Xin wiped the tears on her face, showed a smile, ran over and took Chu Shu's hand, looked left and right, and felt relieved when she saw that the other party's body was still fine.
It was so cold today and after being soaked in the water for so long, I was really afraid that Chu Shu's delicate body wouldn't be able to bear it.
So it was precisely because of this that she could understand what the noble man said. In fact, she quite agreed with it deep down in her heart. If Chu Shu suffered such a serious crime because of playing around with her, then it would be better for the two of them to do it. Just stay away.
As long as they don't stay together, Chu Yi will probably change her eyes as time goes by, right?
"Sister, I'm fine now!" Chu Shu took Chu Xin's hand, "Don't take what my mother and concubine said just now to your heart. This is not what I meant. I can see my sister coming to see me today. I, I’m really, really happy!”
Chu Shu was a little anxious. She didn't want Chu Xin to hear all the words she just said in her heart. It was just the concubine's intention, not her own. She didn't want to lose a sister like Chu Xin.
In fact, the incident of being pushed into the water was not caused by Chu Xin. When he followed Chu Yi to please her in the past, it was not like he had never been wronged. Chu Yi always did whatever he wanted.
"It's okay. What Lady Xian said is for your own good. I know what Lady Xian said is right."
Chu Xin smiled and nodded. In fact, it was precisely because she knew it was right that she felt so powerless. It was precisely because she couldn't defeat the noble concubine that she could only retreat and give in.
"Mother, in fact, you know very well that this incident will not be the only one, and it has nothing to do with my sister. Chu Yi has always bullied others when she wanted to, and this is not the first time she has bullied me. !”
Chu Shu couldn't help crying to the noble man. She had really suffered a lot of grievances in the past, so she seemed a little calm and indifferent when facing the fall into the water this time. She guessed that Chu Yi would use these methods.
But it would be really unfair to blame all the reasons on Chu Xin!
Even without Chu Xin, if she plays with any princess in the future, as long as Chu Yi doesn't like it, she will still be bullied. If she has to give in every time, then she will not survive in this life!
The noble man looked helplessly at his disobedient daughter, and because Chu Xin was present and it was difficult to preach, he could only shake his head irritably.
It's not that she doesn't know this, but it's of no use at all. Unless the positions of herself and the imperial concubine are reversed at this moment, and she has absolute strength to protect her daughter, then she can naturally allow her to do what she wants.
But I just don't have the ability. I can't protect my daughter, so I can only try to please her so that I can have a place in the harem.
It's really sad to feel that my hard work is not understood. It doesn't matter if others don't understand, but my daughter is also so ignorant, and she stops talking when she speaks.
