"Why is my father so confused by that woman? He is obviously so wise and powerful, how could he be confused by a woman?"
Chu Yi cried aggrievedly and complained about the grievances she had felt over the past few days. She really didn't want to accept these things.
After living smoothly in the harem for so many years, I never thought that a strange woman would suddenly appear and receive all the love from my father.
My father actually liked that woman so much that he didn’t even want his most beloved daughter?
She still remembers the grievance of being scolded by her father at the banquet that night. She had never felt this way before.
"What the princess has to do now is to wait until the novelty of His Majesty is gone. Then it will be easier. The more noisy the princess is at this moment, the more disgusted the Majesty will be. At this time, it is better to be obedient."
Xiao Zhi thought about it carefully and persuaded gently.
"The most important thing for the princess is to worry about her current situation first. As long as the princess is a little depressed, everyone else will want to step on her head. Does the princess want to see such a scene?"
Xiao Zhi blinked and seduced calmly.
"You mean?"
Chu Yi was suddenly shocked. The first thing she thought of was what happened to Chu Xin that night. Chu Xin had deliberately provoked her!
It's just a charm girl, but she dares to be so bold. It's really hateful!
"Princess, close your eyes and think carefully."
Xiao Zhi reached out and touched Chu Yi's eyes sincerely, got closer and whispered something in her ear gently.
Chu Yi closed her eyes and saw darkness.
Her condition these days is really bad. Maybe the mother-in-law is right. Her father is not just her father. She should not just treat him as a father, but more importantly. Respect is required.
…
"Sister, now the winter has passed slowly and everything is getting warmer. Various flowers in the imperial garden are slowly blooming!"
Chu Shu and Chu Xin were eating cakes in the small pavilion. It had to be said that these were not peaceful days in the harem, but they felt very peaceful for their princesses.
"My lord Mei, no, it should be that the concubine Mei is getting more and more favor from the father, but the concubine is much colder."
Chu Xin picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and took a small taste. In fact, these princesses were living a good life during this period.
The imperial concubines were left out a lot and had no intention of embarrassing them. Moreover, Chu Yi seemed to be much more honest and did not come out to ridicule them. It was such a pleasant life!
"Sister, I don't know. I remember that I never set foot in the harem too much in the past. I just didn't expect that this time I would be so obsessed with concubines. And he has risen so quickly in this generation. Is it just because he has a good skin? ?"
Chu Shu dragged her chin with her palm and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"It's hard for us to talk about these things. Just pamper whoever your father likes!"
Chu Xin didn't care, she was just concentrating on eating the pastry. After this experience, she saw clearly that Chu Yi, who was once so popular, still scolded her just like he said.
All this love is so worthless!
"That's true," Chu Shu nodded, "I had a great chat with Miss Gu after the last banquet, and this time I made an appointment with her to come to the palace. She will be here later!"
"But that Gu Ruowan?"
Chu Xin's heart moved, and she recalled the scene that day. In fact, she was really grateful to Miss Gu for speaking for her.
"Yes!" Chu Shu smiled and nodded, "I also like Miss Gu very much. If I ask her to come to the palace to talk with us from time to time, she won't be so boring!"
When Chu Shu smiled, her eyes were curved like little crescent moons. He had been really happy these past few days, with a smile all over his face.
"Okay, that's what I meant"
Chu Xin couldn't help but laugh and reached out to touch Chu Shu's face. She felt that this sister looked really cute. She really liked her!
"This time, the two princesses invited me. There is no need for my brother to follow me. Nothing will happen in the palace!"
In the carriage of the Duke's Mansion, Gu Ruowan looked at this shameless brother who insisted on following him, and shook his head helplessly.
After being embarrassed by Chu Yi last time, my brother was afraid that something would happen to her when she entered the palace, so this time he would follow her no matter what.
"This palace is not a simple place. I am really worried about what will happen to you."
Gu Xiao looked at this sister worriedly. When he talked about the last incident, he was a little worried. Things in the harem were complicated to begin with. Seeing his sister's indifferent expression made him really anxious.
"The two princesses have made an appointment with me in the Youran Pavilion. My brother will be waiting outside then, but don't disturb me talking to the two princesses!"
Gu Ruoyuan snorted helplessly. She was talking to the two princesses, so what was her brother talking like standing there?
"Um."
Gu Xiao nodded, that's what he originally thought.
Gu Ruowan had also been to the palace before when she came with her mother to pay her respects. She was very familiar with the terrain, so she went to Youran Pavilion in a few seconds.
Gu Xiao was waiting outside, walking around for a while.
"Ruowan has met two princesses"
Gu Ruowan nodded gracefully and saluted. She liked these two princesses very much, so she was willing to accept the invitation and go into the palace to chat with them.
"Don't worry about it in front of us, come here!"
When Chu Shu saw Gu Ruowan coming, she immediately smiled and waved for her to come over and sit on the stone chair together.
"Ruowan, let's have a cup of tea. I must be thirsty along the way."
Chu Xin poured a cup of tea and brought it to Gu Ruoyuan.
Gu Ruowan nodded in thanks and drank the cup of tea.
"Can you two princesses tell me what happened in the harem these days? I have only heard about it in the Duke's Mansion. I don't understand many things. What happened to the most favored concubine? ?”
Otherwise, this person's nature is to gossip. Gu Ruowan asked these things curiously as soon as he came up. He might not dare to say anything in front of others, but in front of these two princesses, he considered himself to be good friends.
"It turns out that my sister is also curious about these things!" Chu Xin is the eldest of the three. "We are also confused about this matter. Although the charming lady is indeed beautiful, she shouldn't be so fascinated, right? "
What Chu Xin was talking about was what they were confused about. It was not a big deal for His Majesty to like beauties, but the degree of his love was too deep, so it made people feel that something was wrong.
But they didn't know what to say. After all, even Chu Yi, who was usually remembered and loved, was reprimanded and punished, so who could they count?
"Sister has been really wronged these days."
Chu Yan carefully comforted Chu Yi. She knew that she would inevitably be angry again this time, because it was like this every time. When Chu Yi was wronged, he would find it on her.
It could be seen that Chu Yi was indeed very angry, so she was a little scared at the moment, her eyes were red, and she was about to cry.
"Whether I am wronged or not has nothing to do with you. No matter what happens, you have to call me sister. You don't think you can ride on my head!"
Chu Yi glared at Chu Yan. She was already angry in her heart, but she was always talking about her. How could she not be annoyed?
Especially what happened that night, the anger in my heart has not subsided. When I think of Chu Xin's proud face, I feel extremely angry.
"Everything is Chu Xin's fault. She was too bold and dared to plot against my sister. It shows that he was all pretending in the past. It's not too late for my sister to see her true face now!"
When Chu Xin was mentioned, Chu Yan shook her lips in grievance. This time it was because of her that she was so angry. The same was true for the orchid picture last time. It was all because of her!
Why do you hate her so much? Why do you always have to be angry with Chu Yi because of her?
"Do you even need to say this? Do you think I can't see this? But what's the use at this moment? Can I return all this anger at this moment!"
Chu Yi slapped the table so hard that it hurt her palms.
In fact, now she really has no way to make things difficult for others like before. Her mother and concubine have repeatedly warned her that she must behave well during this period and must not cause any trouble again.
But it would be really difficult for her to hold back her breath!
"My father has been focusing on his concubine recently and doesn't like to hear any disturbing news, so my sister can only endure it for now."
Chu Yi hunched her shoulders and looked aggrieved. Every time she came over, she got angry. When can she live a quiet life?
"That's enough! I don't need to hear you crying in my ears, get out!"
Chu Yi slapped the table hard and pointed at Chu Yan with an angry look on her face. She really couldn't stand this look anymore.
She only cries aggrievedly every day. She has cried enough times recently, and she never wants to see her like this again!
Chu Yan could only bite her lip. When she retreated, she couldn't help it. Tears flowed down drop by drop. Chu Yi felt that she was wronged. Wasn't she wronged?
She has to suffer every day. Isn't this not enough?
Asking the people following her to step back, she just wanted to be alone for a while, wandering aimlessly in the palace, wiping the tears on her face with the back of her hand as she walked.
No matter what happened to Chu Yi, her life would be easy after all, but her own life would always be so bitter.
For her, it makes no difference whether her father likes that concubine or not. Anyway, his eyes are never on her, it's all the same.
When I lowered my head to wipe my tears, I suddenly bumped into someone. When I looked up, I saw that it was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Mr. Gu?"
Chu Yan was stunned for a while. She recognized the person in front of her. During the palace banquet in the past, all the young ladies from the Duke of Wei's mansion had entered the palace, and she had met him several times.
Then he wiped the tears on his face with his hand. He felt that there were too many embarrassing things today. He just wanted to find a deserted place to wander around in the imperial garden, but unexpectedly he met Mr. Gu. .
"Princess Yan?" Gu Xiao also recognized Chu Yan, "What's wrong with the princess? Why are you crying so sadly? What happened?"
Although he didn't dare to ask about the princess's affairs, seeing a little girl crying with her eyes red, he still couldn't help but want to ask more questions.
