The days passed slowly, and everyone's lives gradually stabilized.
This summer is coming to an end, and autumn is coming soon, which is the day when the two princesses of Da Chu will marry to Northern Qi.
Half a month before leaving, Zheng Yinghuan specially asked the two princesses to come over. She had many things to say.
"You went to Northern Qi, and every move you make represents Da Chu's face. You two sisters must get along well with each other no matter what, and don't make a joke!"
Although she knew that it was impossible for the two of them to live in peace, Zheng Yinghuan still wanted to say that they were sisters after all, so it was better not to go too far in many things.
"What are these words that the queen mother said? Sister Xin'er is no less thoughtful than me. If she can think of this way to get her married, she is certainly very smart!"
Chu Yi really couldn't bear it for a moment, even if she was humiliated, it was impossible for her and Chu Xin to live in harmony!
"That's enough," Zheng Yinghuan interrupted, "When you get married and have a husband, you can't do this in front of your husband! You really need to change your temper and sharpen your temper!"
Zheng Yinghuan was really helpless. It was her daughter who wanted to get married. She tried to persuade her, but it was of no use.
Marrying in such a far-off place means she has to restrain her temper. Otherwise, who can make the decision for her if something goes wrong?
"yes!"
Chu Yi nodded reluctantly. Of course she knew what she should look like. In front of Xiao Zhi, she was willing to show all her good sides.
Chu Xin stood aside and acted as if she was not a person. What does it have to do with him if the mother and daughter talk?
"Chu Xin, Your Majesty has received a reply from Northern Qi, saying that he is willing to accept the two princesses, but since Chu Yi is the principal concubine, you can only be the side concubine."
Zheng Yinghuan's tone was calm, as if he was talking about an irrelevant matter.
In fact, at this age, you are not as violent as you were when you were young. No matter the person you love or the person you hate is dead, the days to come are like a calm spring water, and no one feels anything. .
"Yes, I understand."
Chu Xin had already accepted this fact, and told herself again and again in the past few days that she would never regret it, Xiao Zhi was worth it.
"You two are also sisters after all. After we go, you two will be the only ones keeping each other warm. If anything happens, you must stick together!"
Zheng Yinghuan looked at Chu Yi and persuaded her earnestly.
Who can guarantee that there will be no other women after Xiao Zhi? When there are more women, all disputes will arise.
"yes!"
Chu Yi curled her lips and replied unwillingly, she was the princess of Chu and His Majesty's biological sister. How could she suffer any injustice even because of her own status?
"I have prepared the dowries for both of you, and everything is ready. I will send you to Beiqi in half a month. Don't regret the path you choose, and live your life with peace of mind from now on!"
Zheng Yinghuan couldn't bear to look at Chu Yi. No matter how willful and disobedient this daughter was, she was still her own child. Now that she was about to leave suddenly, she was really reluctant to leave!
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will never regret it."
Chu Yi glanced at Chu Xin. She would never regret anything she had done. She just wanted to get what was hers and win over Chu Xin. She would never regret it!
Zheng Yinghuan felt distressed and helpless. Forget it, Chu Yi would have a way out no matter what. At worst, if he was really wronged, His Majesty would personally come forward to let Chu Yi come back.
Chu Xin did not go back to Zhongcui Palace but went to Youran Pavilion. When she saw Gu Ruoyuan and Chu Shu who were already sitting and smiled slightly, she knew that they were already waiting there.
"Sister is going to Beiqi in half a month, and we won't be able to see you by then!"
Chu Shu hurriedly took Chu Xin's hand with a look of reluctance. Unexpectedly, she made this decision after going round and round.
"Yes, I know the princess has already thought about it, but can you please let me ask one more question? Will you really not regret it?"
Gu Ruowan still asked unwillingly. Maybe as a bystander, she didn't have those deep feelings, so she was very rational when she saw things.
Marrying with Chu Yi and serving the same husband together, and you can only be a concubine, this is already very unfair!
What's more, they all know what kind of person Chu Yi is. How can this life be easy? How can they not feel aggrieved!
"Ruowan, you don't have to ask me anymore, I've already thought about it and I won't regret it."
Chu Xin took a deep breath and shook her head with a smile. In fact, she was also thinking about this issue at this time. Will she regret it?
no, I can not.
"It would be nice to get a positive answer from the princess," Gu Ruowan could only sigh deeply, and then took out a peace blessing from her sleeve.
"The princess is used to seeing good things. I won't give away the gold and jade. I personally went to the temple to ask for this peace charm. Everything is still unknown after going to a foreign country. In any case, I just hope that the princess can be safe." !”
Gu Ruowan put the blessing of peace into Chu Xin's hand. She didn't have any hope for love or anything, she just hoped that Chu Xin could be safe.
"Thank you Ruowan. It's a pleasure to meet you. I have already regarded you as my sister."
Chu Xin held Ping Anfu tightly in her hands, with some tears in her eyes.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the memories Da Chu left for her were not only despair and pain, but also this true friend and sister Chu Shu.
"I just want you to be safe."
In fact, Gu Ruowan was still very pessimistic. From an outsider's perspective, Chu Xin was really wronged this time, so she had no hope for this marriage at all.
I just hope that Chu Xin can be at peace.
"Thank you."
Chu Xin resisted the urge to cry. How could she not understand what this meant? But she really didn't want to give up her hope for so many years. She really didn't want to.
"elder sister."
Chu Shu retreated into Chu Xin's arms aggrievedly, just like when she was a child, whenever she felt any grievance, she would retreat into her arms and cry.
"You are already so old, how can you still act like a child?"
Chu Xin cried and laughed. She would stay far away from these people soon, and maybe she would never see them again in this life.
Suddenly I feel that my life will not always be useless. I have a mother who loves me, a sister and such a good sister. In fact, I should be content.
She will leave here soon and go to the next place, and her life will have a new start.
"Ruowan, have things been peaceful in your family these days?"
This is what Chu Xin is most worried about. She originally thought that Chu Yan would not get into these disputes again after she got married, but she didn't expect that this would become more and more excessive.
"Stop talking, she's still like that, even more unreasonable than before. I don't know how I really offended her. She always wants to catch me and won't let go."
Gu Ruowan said boredly, she adhered to the principle of not being able to offend but not being able to hide, and basically never appeared in front of Chu Yan. If the two of them didn't meet, they shouldn't be able to quarrel, right?
But she didn't expect that Chu Yan seemed to be in high spirits and would always make some sneaky little moves that made her feel upset.
I really don’t understand, you are already married, why not live your life well?
"She is such a person. She must find a sense of existence. Maybe you really offended her in the past, so she will bear her grudge!"
Chu Shu wiped the tears on her face and said lightly.
Even she doesn't care about those things in the past. What else does Chu Yan care about? She's already married to the man she likes. What else is she dissatisfied with?
"Then what should I do? Isn't it peaceful every day?"
Gu Ruoyuan sighed helplessly. Although she didn't like this sister-in-law at all, she knew that since the two of them were married, she couldn't change anything, so she accepted it.
Every time something happened, she would avoid it, but Chu Yan still seemed dissatisfied.
"Ruowan, the source of this matter is your brother. He dares to act so recklessly and bully you like this. It is your brother's permission and acquiescence."
Chu Xin also held back her tears and thought carefully. She was leaving here soon, but she must solve a problem for her good friend.
"I know. It's precisely because I know this truth that I hide and give in everywhere."
Gu Ruowan bit her lip in grievance, how could she not be clear about it? She just knew it too well!
"I have an idea…"
Now that Chu Yan has made it this far, since she still isn't satisfied after getting everything she wants, don't blame her.
When she went back, Chu Xin stuffed the peace charm given by Gu Ruowan into the sachet she wore every day, thinking of carrying it with her at all times.
"Princess,"
It's Mingyu.
"What's wrong? But something happened to my mother!"
Chu Xin asked nervously. In fact, she had gradually realized in the past few days that the closer the divorce was, the more depressed her mother became.
"It is indeed your Majesty. Your Majesty is really reluctant to let go of the princess. The princess married so far away and will probably never see her again in the future. How will your Majesty live without the princess in Zhongcui Palace?"
Mingyu was also worried and distressed. The empress asked her to marry the princess because she wanted her to take good care of the princess.
The empress has considered everything for the princess, but what about herself?
Chu Xin lowered her head and didn't know what to say. In fact, this was what she felt most guilty about.
"Princess, please take advantage of this period to spend more time with your concubine. We will really never see her again!"
Mingyu sighed and walked over to hold Chu Xin's hand, and the two went to Xie Ruling's house together.
After arriving, Mingyu withdrew and closed the door. He really wanted the princess to have a good talk with his wife.
Xie Ruling was lying on the lounge chair with a blanket covering her body. When she saw the person coming in, she tugged her lips and showed a smile.
In fact, she has really aged slowly. Maybe the older you get, the easier it is to recall the past.
She thought that her most unforgettable memory was when she was the Concubine Xie. She was the youngest and the most beautiful, but she was really the favorite of the harem and lived a happy life.
But she didn't expect that the eight years in the cold palace were the ones she recalled the most and the most unforgettable ones.
I can't forget the years when I raised Chu Xin. Every bit of it is just a memory. How can I forget it?
"Mother," Chu Xin suddenly couldn't help but rushed over and started crying. She felt very guilty.
"I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I was still a child in the cold palace. I dreamed of the days when we depended on each other. I dreamed that it was freezing cold and there was no charcoal fire for heating. I dreamed that my mother washed my clothes with ice-cold water. I dreamed that Everything I don’t want to forget!”
Chu Xin burst into tears, crying very wronged and sad, wanting to cry out all the unhappiness she had experienced these days.
It was she who felt sorry for her mother and for her mother's upbringing over so many years.
"Don't cry, silly kid," Xie Ruling said helplessly, reaching out to wipe the tears from Chu Xin's face.
"You are going to get married soon. I know you are marrying your beloved, so you are willing. As long as you can get what you want, even if I am reluctant to give up, I still want to make you happy. ah!"
