Chu Xin lay on the bed for a long time. She knew that she would not be able to sleep tonight. She carefully looked at the environment around them, and it was strange again.
Maybe if she stayed in this courtyard for a few more days, she would become familiar with it. This was the place where she would live for the rest of her life.
Have they slept well?
Chu Xin blinked. At this moment, she still couldn't help but think about that place. She heard that the courtyard where Chu Yi lived was the largest and best Youth Courtyard.
Yes, she is the royal concubine, so naturally all good things are given to her first.
Chu Yi said that she doesn't mind if her husband has other women around her. Does she really not mind at all?
But I do mind it, I really do!
Chu Xin sighed heavily and tossed and turned on the bed. It was the time when she was irritable, her heart was beating crazily and couldn't stop no matter what.
Tonight, she came in quietly, without even a wedding ceremony. In fact, she could have had it, but Chu Yi didn't want to.
Is it worth it, is it all really worth it?
This question suddenly appeared quietly in her mind. Did she really not regret it?
After tossing and turning for a while, I gradually felt sleepy and slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Suddenly, in a daze, I felt someone lying next to me. It seemed very warm, and I couldn't help but move closer to that warm body.
"Xin'er."
After hearing him say these two words in her ear, Chu Xin completely woke up, but she was still unwilling to open her eyes and still leaned her head in his arms.
"It will be dawn in another hour, and Chu Yi has already fallen asleep, so I want to come over and stay with you."
Xiao Zhi said softly. He reached out and hugged Chu Xin tighter, and their long ink-like hair was entangled together.
Chu Xin still didn't want to open her eyes or speak. She really didn't know what to say at this moment.
"You came."
Chu Xin suddenly felt sour in her heart and couldn't help crying quietly.
In fact, she cared about this matter very much. She had just kept it in her heart for the past few days, but now at this time, all these grievances have surfaced.
"Yeah," Xiao Zhi looked very tired, and his eyes were slightly squinted, "There are too many things going on tonight, and all the rules and etiquette are really annoying."
But what disgusted him even more was Chu Yi.
Sure enough, Chu Yi has not changed at all. She has always looked so arrogant and stupid. As soon as she opened her mouth, her arrogance overflowed from her words.
But the more Chu Xin listened, the more aggrieved she became, and the more she listened, the more uncomfortable she became. She didn't have that annoying etiquette, and she would never have it again.
"I can't stay here for too long. I'm going to Youth Garden in a while."
Xiao Zhi is reluctant to leave, maybe because he is not suitable by nature. As soon as he sees Chu Yi, he will hate her, every word she says, and even more disgusted with her condescending look.
I only remember how humble I was in the palace when I was young, so I hate those people who are superior, as if it has touched the pain point that I care about most in my heart.
"Um."
Chu Xin responded softly.
"Go to sleep."
Chu Xin fell asleep again in a daze. When she woke up completely, the people around her had left without any trace, as if they had never been there last night.
"Mrs. Side is awake?"
Mingyu was already waiting at the side. When he saw Chu Xin woke up, he quickly stepped forward to help her up. Someone poured water to wait on her.
"Mrs. Side, your servant Luzhu, His Highness asked me to come here to serve you. If there is anything Madam Side doesn't understand, you can give me instructions."
Dewdrop's appearance is very delicate, and she looks very respectful.
"good."
Chu Xin forced out a smile. She must always live here in the future, and she also needs someone familiar.
"Mrs. Side will go to the Fanghua Courtyard to pay respects to the princess later. I heard that the princess has a somewhat indulgent temperament. Madam Side must be patient for now. Your Majesty and the empress also value the princess very much..."
Chu Xin was already sitting in front of the book desk getting dressed, and Lu Lu whispered a reminder from the side, guessing that something would happen later, but no matter what, it must not make a big deal.
If things get serious, Mrs. Side will only be punished.
"I know everything you said."
Chu Xin turned around and glanced at Lu Lu. She felt that she was not old, but she seemed to be stable. She also thought that Xiao Zhi asked her to come to serve him, so he probably asked her to come to help him.
"Mingyu, I'd better dress low-key today, so I'd better take off this golden hairpin!"
Luzhu stepped forward and pulled out the tendon that Mingyu had inserted into her bun. Today's dress was as low-key as ever.
Mingyu looked at Chu Xin with questioning eyes, but Chu Xin didn't say anything, as if she acquiesced.
Youth Courtyard.
"Later, Madam Side will come over to pay her respects to the Princess. Are the teas ready?"
Yuexiang asked condescendingly, from now on, their princess will be the mistress of Prince Xiang's Mansion. She is the person next to the princess, and her words and deeds also represent the princess's wishes.
"Reply to Sister Yuexiang, the tea is ready."
The servant replied respectfully.
"That's good, the princess is dressing up, you can wait outside!"
After saying that, Yuexiang went in alone, where Yueying was waiting for Chu Yi to dress up.
Chu Yi seemed to have slept well, her whole face was red, and her lips had been smeared with a layer of bright red lipstick.
"I was in a good mood when I woke up, but I'm really annoyed to see her again later!"
Chu Yi looked carefully in the mirror and felt that today's outfit was very gorgeous, then she felt satisfied.
She didn't come to Beiqi just to live a life of grievances. It was natural that she would come here as long as she felt better.
In the first half of the month, when life gradually stabilizes, I will write a letter back to Dachu, telling the emperor, brother, mother and empress not to worry, that everything will be fine here.
"She came here to serve tea to the princess. Even if she feels bored, she has to accept her tea so that she can know who the person standing above her is!"
Yuexiang smiled and took the powder and applied it carefully on Chu Yi's face.
Things have come to this point. Chu Xin will not fail to recognize her identity. She was the one who wanted to marry him shamelessly in the first place. She doesn't think she can still get the position of the principal concubine, right?
Since you want to be a concubine, you have to look like a concubine!
"I want to see later if she is willing!"
Chu Yi smiled. Although she could accept that there were other women around her husband, she had a grudge against Chu Xin, and it was impossible for the two of them to coexist peacefully.
After Chu Xin finished dressing up, she had already arrived at the house, but Chu Yi didn't come over, so she could only stand aside and wait.
"No matter what the princess says or does later, Madam Side must endure it. This is what His Highness has repeatedly warned her."
Luzhu reminded Chu Xin in a low voice, and it seemed that she was indeed doing her duty.
"Don't worry, I understand."
In fact, how could Chu Xin not understand? Chu Yi's identity is undoubtedly so precious. No one dares to neglect her, and no one will let her be wronged.
Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, Chu Yi arrived late. Chu Xin saw the tassel hairpin on her bun at a glance, shaking and emitting a dazzling light.
"I've kept you waiting for a long time."
As soon as Chu Yi came over, she sat above and looked at Chu Xin condescendingly, enjoying this feeling very much, enjoying the way of trampling others under her feet.
"Today is the day when I should serve tea to the princess, no matter how long it takes."
Chu Xin lowered her head and responded softly.
In fact, these verbal words are nothing to argue about. Didn't you already see Chu Yi's talkativeness when you were in Da Chu?
Chu Yi gave Yue Xiang a look, and she should prepare the things that should be prepared. Today is the first day to teach Chu Xin a lesson. From now on, she will live here. She should recognize her identity, but she must never Don't think anything wrong.
Don't think that just because you have a certain position in Xiao Zhi's heart, you can reach the sky in one step. The concubine will always be the concubine.
Yuexiang walked to Chu Xin with tea in a tray, obviously asking her to hold the cup in the tray and go forward to serve tea to Chu Yi.
Chu Xin looked at the cup carefully, but didn't notice anything wrong. Just when she was about to reach out to take it, she felt her fingers were burned for a moment and quickly retracted her hand.
This cup is filled with scalding hot tea!
Lulu touched Mingyu's arm and shook her head. This is just the simplest thing. Just endure it if you can.
Chu Xin also realized that she was afraid that she would suffer a lot on the first day, so he gave her a cup of boiling tea and asked her to pass it over.
I just touched it a little bit, and I felt some unbearable pain in my fingers. If it takes this long, I'm afraid my fingers will be burned and swollen.
"I've been waiting for this tea for a long time. What's the point of you lingering? Are you dissatisfied with your status and don't want to serve me tea?"
Chu Yi admired Chu Xin's embarrassment at the moment. Power was the most important thing, so that he could bully others from a high position.
Just like now that she is the main concubine, she can sit on top and bully Chu Xin, but Chu Xin is just a side concubine, so she can only be obedient. This is the difference.
Chu Xin could only take a deep breath and stretched out her hands to hold the cup of tea. Sure enough, her fingers felt extremely painful when she touched it for a moment, but this time she resisted and did not retract.
Holding the cup of scalding tea in both hands, I walked forward step by step. How could it not hurt if my fingers were connected to my heart?
Mingyu looked really distressed, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it. I'm afraid this tea incident is just the beginning, and I'm afraid there will be more troubles like this in the future!
There was also a hint of unbearability in Luzhu's eyes, and she lowered her head and couldn't bear to look any further.
It seems that His Highness really has the foresight to know that things today will never be so easy, but he really feels wronged by Mrs. Side.
"Princess, please have some tea."
Chu Xin bent over, holding the cup of boiling tea with both hands, and raised it high. However, after waiting for a while, the other party still didn't respond, and her fingers were so hot that they were almost numb.
Chu Yi just sat quietly and had no intention of reaching out. She didn't know that the tea was boiling hot, so how could she pick it up with her own hands?
"Chu Xin, you were my sister when we were in Dachu, but now we are in Prince Xiang's Mansion. According to the rules, I will not call you sister anymore. Everything will follow the rules here."
Chu Yi still wouldn't reach out to pick it up, but just said other words casually, as if to delay time deliberately.
