"Yes, everything is decided by the princess."
Chu Xin's hands were already shaking with pain, but she could only hold the hot cup of tea tightly. If she let it go, she didn't know what other ways Chu Yi would come up with to embarrass her.
Maybe this cup of scalding tea is just the beginning.
"I don't want to drink tea today, please bring Yuexiang down!"
Chu Yi smiled and shook her head, unwilling to accept the connection, and directly asked Yuexiang to take the tray.
It’s not like you don’t know how hot the tea will be. What if you burn your delicate skinned fingers?
"You seem to be obedient and sensible. I don't have anything else to give you. Please step back!"
Chu Yi stared at Chu Xin carefully. This identity determined that the two people could not be equal in this life.
"yes."
After returning to Qixiayuan, Luzhu quickly asked someone to bring a basin of cold water and soaked Chu Xin's hands in the cold water. She also asked someone to bring her medicine for injuries. After soaking in the cold water for a while, she applied the medicine.
"Mrs. Side is really aggrieved by what happened today. Your Highness will definitely feel sorry for you!"
Luzhu carefully applied medicine to Chu Xin's fingers. Even though they had been soaked in cold water for a while, they could still be seen to be red and swollen.
"She only knows these tricks, and they've never changed!"
Mingyu complained loudly, it was only the first day, and he was given such a power, he really couldn't wait!
"Stop talking. I know the severity, and I know I have to endure it this time."
Chu Xin's expression was indifferent. No one could tell whether she was sad or not. She just opened her hands to let Lu Lu and Ming Yu apply the medicine.
"Luzhu, I see that you are very calm in what you say and do. You are already very familiar with this place. If you have anything to do in the future, you can tell me in advance. If there is anything wrong with me, you have to remind me."
Chu Xin looked at Lu Lu and felt that the other party seemed quite kind, especially today that she could see that the other party spoke and acted well.
"Yes, it is my duty to serve Mrs. Side."
Lulu smiled, and then applied the medicine to her fingers more carefully.
"Today I just want to give her a blow. I want Chu Xin to know what it is like to be a concubine. Don't think that you dare to do anything wrong just because of such a little love. You must always know who you are!"
Chu Yi slowly drank the tea, but she asked Yuexiang to order it. The cup of tea must be boiling hot. Just now, she looked at Chu Xin's hand carefully, and her fingers were indeed hot and red.
She was satisfied.
"It's not a big deal for the princess to teach her concubine a lesson, not to mention that this is the path she chose. If she regrets it now, why did she shamelessly insist on getting married in the first place?"
Yuexiang sarcastically said, it has been a grudge for many years anyway, and it will never be possible to reconcile. Either he will be oppressed or he will be oppressed, so let’s live like this!
"Qixia Courtyard is a relatively remote courtyard. It is neither big nor small."
Chu Yi held her chin with her hand, as if thinking about these things.
"How can this compare to our youth home!"
Yuexiang is still disdainful.
Chu Yi didn't say anything. As a princess, she still had a lot to deal with. As the mistress of Prince Xiang's Mansion, she naturally had to manage everything in order, and she also had to prepare for the fact that there would be more concubines in the manor. Prepare.
His Highness is weak at the moment, so the best way is to get married. Only in this way can he slowly draw on more power.
Chu Yi narrowed her eyes slightly. She could indeed tolerate her husband having other women and more women, but she could never treat them better than herself!
When eating in the evening, I could only drink some porridge with a spoon, and my fingers were connected to my heart. The swelling in my fingers had not gone away, and I couldn't even pick up chopsticks.
"I'm afraid the injury on Mrs. Side's finger will have to heal for a few more days. Just drink porridge these days."
Lu Lu ordered people to put away all the dishes and chopsticks. It was already getting late and it was time to get ready to rest.
"Will His Highness go to Fanghuayuan when he comes back?"
Chu Xin looked at her fingers and suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Yes."
Lulu hesitated for a moment and could only nod.
This is still the first day of marriage, so His Highness naturally wants to go to his princess's room, but judging from this, I'm afraid he will probably go to her place in the future.
"It's getting late, you all should go down and rest."
Chu Xin didn't say anything. She should have expected all this.
Youth Court
"Your Highness, don't you want to go to Qixiayuan?"
After the two of them perfected it, Chu Yi asked intentionally or unintentionally, not believing that His Highness would not know these things.
"I'm in such a hurry today that I only have time to come to you. I have to go to the palace early tomorrow morning, and I have to assist the prince and brother in handling many matters."
Xiao Zhi looked very tired, and his eyes were all red and bloodshot.
"Your Highness, you have worked really hard. If you need my help, you can tell me."
Chu Yi walked up behind Xiao Zhi thoughtfully and rubbed his shoulders.
"I know what His Highness is thinking and wanting, but I have something to say to His Highness."
"What?"
Xiao Zhi sighed deeply, closed his eyes and enjoyed Chu Yi's massage.
"His Highness is really helpless if he fights alone. It would be good if he could get help from others. What's more, this mansion is really quite empty. It would be nice to have a few more courtyards!"
Chu Yi said softly, as if hinting at something.
Xiao Zhi just hummed softly, not sure whether he heard it or not.
This is Chu Xin's second night here. Compared to the strangeness last night, it seems a little familiar today.
Sure enough, no matter where you are, as long as you stay for a while, you will become familiar with it.
Just like when I was a child, I had always lived in the cold palace. After leaving the cold palace, I was a little uncomfortable with it. Later, I got used to living in Zhongcuigong, but I was not used to it when I came here. I think I will gradually get used to it in the future.
She suddenly thought of her mother, and the longing was getting deeper and deeper. Would her mother miss her as much as she does now?
In fact, this is just the first day of marriage, and suddenly it feels like a long time has passed, and everything feels so long.
They say that newlyweds are the happiest time, but they are not happy at all. Some are just heavy. I feel like my breathing is heavy and my whole body feels stuffy.
In the deep longing for her mother, Chu Xin slowly fell asleep.
Da Chu.
This was the countless time Chu Shu had met Liu Xuanfeng in the palace, but this time she chose to take a few steps back and hide behind the pillar, watching the other person leave before coming out.
It’s not for anything else, I just don’t want the other person to see my shy face.
There will be many opportunities in the future, and this time is the best chance to meet him.
After Chu Xin left, she would go to Zhongcui Palace to accompany Concubine Jing every few days. The days passed slowly, and other princesses were getting married one after another.
The Queen Mother didn't seem to be interested in the affairs in the harem. It seemed that she had become quiet since her father had left.
After staring at Liu Xuanfeng's back for a long time, thinking that the time agreed with Gu Ruowan was almost over, he hurried to Youran Pavilion.
"You're finally here, how long have I been waiting for you here!"
Gu Ruowan complained softly that she really couldn't stay in this house any longer. There was always a strange and silent atmosphere, so she came to the palace when she had time.
"What's going on with you lately? It seems like you have to come to the palace to see me every day. Can't you stay at home any longer?"
Chu Shu smiled and shook her head, and quickly sat down.
"Yeah," Gu Ruowan felt a little ridiculous herself, as if every time she went to the palace, she complained about things at home.
"What happened again?"
Even Chu Shu herself didn't understand. She was already married. Wouldn't it be good to live her own life well? Why did Chu Yan always seem to be dissatisfied?
Chu Yi has already gone to Northern Qi, and no one is bullying them. The Queen Mother has long stopped interfering with the affairs of the harem. The current situation is undoubtedly the best. Why is Chu Yan still dissatisfied?
"It is not…"
Gu Ruoyuan sighed and told everything about the situation at home. In fact, she knew her brother very well, and when she liked him, she naturally liked him very much.
If you knew that your love was deceived...
"So that's it, then they haven't said a word these days?"
Chu Shu felt that something was wrong, but she was just speaking from an outsider's perspective.
She was able to talk about these things because Gu Ruowan was her friend and she was helping her friend solve problems.
"My brother has been in the study for more than a month. Chu Yan has been there before, but she didn't get in every time. Then one time he forcefully broke in, but my brother still didn't want to talk to her.
My parents have also asked about it several times, and I can only prevaricate and go back. But as time goes by, everyone can tell that something is wrong. What will I do next? Is it really going to make the family uneasy? "
Gu Ruowan frowned, and there was uneasiness in her brows. This matter was really getting more and more complicated.
She had tried to persuade her many times at the beginning, but her brother still couldn't see clearly and still plunged in. Now he can see clearly, but what's the use? It's already too late?
What's more, they have been married for such a long time, and it is really not a good thing to cause trouble now. She would rather her brother and Chu Yan continue to be in love like this!
"These things are indeed quite troublesome. The best things in my heart have changed, but there is no going back."
There was nothing Chu Shu could do. To be precise, there was no way at all.
He knew at the beginning that Gu Xiao would always like the Chu Yan in his imagination. Now that he has gradually come into contact with her and found that his wife is different from the person in his imagination, everything will slowly be broken. .
Now that it has been broken, it is even more impossible to reconcile and be the same as before.
"Your brother will figure it out on his own. Even if his original love is gone, he still has responsibilities. He will shoulder his responsibilities. You don't have to worry too much."
Chu Shu patted Gu Ruowan's shoulder and persuaded her softly.
