Early the next morning, Chu Yi had people call Chu Xin over. In seven days, he would prepare to leave for Wan County. He should give the instructions that should be given, but he was still a little reluctant.
As soon as Chu Xin came in, she felt that the atmosphere was not very good, and she knew that Chu Yi was probably going to lose his temper again, so she could only stand respectfully on the side, waiting for the other party to speak.
"I told you everything yesterday. I think you should be mentally prepared. This time, His Highness is following the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince and is not going on a sightseeing tour.
I have you by my side to serve His Highness, so don’t get in the way and cause any trouble. This trip will take more than a month. The weather is getting colder, so don’t forget what you need to prepare! "
Chu Yi still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she definitely didn't have a good attitude towards Chu Xin. She didn't want to look at her again, and just drank tea by herself.
"Are you very proud?"
After finishing speaking, Chu Yi asked again inexplicably, and Chu Xin could only squeeze out a smile.
"I don't know what the princess means. The princess has a noble status and is the mistress of the palace. The palace cannot be without a master, so I can only stay with your highness. As the princess said, this trip is not a mountain tour. Water, but follow the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Chu Xin really felt helpless. Chu Yi always liked to hold on to these things, making everyone unhappy.
She is still as indulgent and willful as she was when she was a princess, as if she has never grown up.
In fact, if you think about it, with Chu Yi's status and temperament, she doesn't need to grow up at all. Everyone will pamper her and coax her. His Majesty Da Chu is her biological brother and her backing.
But what do you have?
"Now you are talking sharply in front of me. When you were in the palace, you were very proud in front of me, but you are not as obedient as you are now."
Chu Yi's eyes widened. She already felt uncomfortable, but she wanted to hang on to these trivial things, trying to make everyone have a hard time!
"It's because of what happened in the past, so I'm here to apologize to the princess. It's all my fault for making the princess unhappy."
Chu Xin was a little helpless and didn't want to get too entangled in these matters. She also wanted to be well prepared when she went back. This time she must bring more clothes to keep out the cold.
"It turns out that you also know that it was what happened in the past that made me unhappy. Isn't it too late for you to apologize now?"
Chu Yi supported her chin with her hand and looked at Chu Xin as if she were watching a good show. It was clear that she was deliberately making things difficult.
Chu Xin took a deep breath and knelt directly on the ground, "Everything is my fault, as long as the princess relieves her anger, it will be fine."
As soon as she knelt down, Mingyu and Luzhu behind her also knelt down. Both of them looked worried and didn't know how to solve the matter.
Chu Yi was reluctant, glanced disdainfully, and ignored her. If you don't like kneeling, then just keep kneeling!
"What happened again?"
As soon as Xiao Zhi came in, he saw Chu Xin kneeling on the ground. Chu Yi was just sitting on a chair drinking tea, displeasure flashed in his eyes.
"It's nothing, it's just that we two sisters couldn't help but recall what happened in the past. I don't know why Mrs. Side suddenly knelt down. Maybe she felt that she had done something wrong?"
Chu Yi quickly put down the tea, Shui stood up to greet Xiao Zhi, and glanced at Chu Xin.
"Mrs. Side, please get up quickly. His Highness is here. If you are still kneeling, won't you embarrass me?"
"yes."
Mingyu and Luzhu quickly stood up and helped Chu Xin up.
"Sit down quickly. How long have you been kneeling? Does your knee hurt?"
Xiao Zhi glanced at Chu Xin distressedly. He knew what would happen when he was not at home, but it didn't matter. He would take Xiao Zhi to Wan County in the next period of time and no one would disturb him again.
Hearing these words of concern, Chu Yi's lips froze. She, the princess, was still here. How could any husband care about Mrs. Side in front of her?
"If you have anything to do, just tell me directly. Don't embarrass others. With so many people watching here, the master must be more generous."
Xiao Zhi could only coax him softly. He really didn't want to cause any trouble in the past few days. He was afraid that if the words got serious, Chu Yi would lose his temper again.
"Yes, I understand."
Chu Yi lowered his head in grievance, so what if he just knelt down and was not tortured!
What's more, it's not like the mother-in-law never punished the concubines, and didn't the father also not interfere with her?
Or is it just that Chu Xin is different?
"You should go back first, the princess and I still have something to say."
Xiao Zhi looked at Chu Xin, believing that the other party could understand his eyes.
Seeing Chu Xin leave, Chu Yi felt a little better. As long as the other party stood here, she would feel uncomfortable all over.
It turns out that it is so difficult to be generous. Thinking of other women around your husband, your heart will become very painful and sour.
I couldn't help but think of how difficult it was for my mother to endure the existence of that bitch Meizhu for so many years. Fortunately, I was able to let my mother breathe out in the end and let Meizhu die without her body intact!
"Okay," Xiao Zhi patiently held Chu Yi into his arms, "I will leave for Wan County in seven days. Please don't get angry with me during this period. I still have many things to deal with. .”
Xiao Zhi really felt very tired. He had just come out of the East Palace, and the prince and brother had explained many things. After answering, he had to deal with things in the backyard. He really felt very tired.
If Chu Xin were his princess, then at least there wouldn't be so many things in the backyard, and he would definitely be given a warm home instead of being filled with sorrow as soon as he came back.
"I'm sorry. I know that I will definitely accompany His Highness these days, and I will never lose my temper over irrelevant people!"
Chu Yi retreated into Xiao Zhi's arms aggrieved and distressed. In fact, she just felt too sad. The thought of Chu Xin being alone with Xiao Zhi made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Now that I have received these few words of comfort, I really feel much better. I will manage the palace carefully in the next period of time, although I don't like to look at those boring account books or deal with things between servants.
But after all, this is what she should do. She is no longer a princess, she is a princess, the mistress of the palace, and she should fulfill this responsibility.
Qixiayuan.
"Mrs. Side has been wronged."
Luzhu and Mingyu knelt down and kneaded Chu Xin's knees. They had been kneeling for a long time just now, and the ground was so cold.
Chu Xin shook her head and said nothing. In fact, she felt it was nothing, she just knelt down for a short while, not to mention she saw the distress and guilt in Xiao Zhi's eyes.
Chu Yi's temperament has always been like this, and she should have known it.
"You all should go down and get everything ready. Luzhu, you can stay in the house. Mingyu will follow me there."
Chu Xin warned her carefully that no matter what, Mingyu stayed with her the longest and trusted her the most.
"yes."
The room suddenly became very quiet, Chu Xin could hear her own breathing, and there was still a dull pain in her knees.
In fact, I knew that Chu Yi was a little jealous, so she thought of ways to torture herself and make herself feel uncomfortable.
No matter how uncomfortable she feels, Chu Yi will also feel uncomfortable. In fact, no one is the winner. It seems that women who get married will always be like this.
She will always care about her husband's happiness, anger, sorrow, and every move. She cares about it almost crazy, and the strings in her heart are always tense.
There was also a charcoal fire in the room. When I came back, I was still wearing a cloak. Now I felt a little hot, so I took off my cloak and put it next to the bed.
Hearing the sound of the door opening again, he knew the footsteps were not Mingyu and Luzhu, their footsteps were much softer.
"Is Chu Yi feeling better? Just come to my place. What if he gets angry again?"
Chu Xin folded her cloak and couldn't help but smile. She lived her life by looking at Chu Yi's face and considering whether she would be happy.
"She will always get angry and always do this. It doesn't matter whether I stay there or not."
Xiao Zhi closed the door as soon as he came in. His clothes were still a little thin. He had to deal with various things with the prince and brother every day. When he was busy, he forgot that the weather was getting colder. Got it
"Come here quickly, I feel that your hands are very cold and are a little red."
Chu Xin hurried over and took Xiao Zhi's hand, and the two sat beside the charcoal fire. After that, neither of them spoke for a long time, just quietly enjoying this rare relationship.
"I still remember living in a cold palace when I was very young. At that time, I was most afraid of winter, because many people would freeze to death every winter. I remember that my biological mother died in winter."
Chu Xin stretched out her hand to feel the temperature of the charcoal fire. It was really warm. In fact, she had not known what it felt like to be hungry and cold for a long time.
Since leaving the cold palace, she has been treated like a princess and has not treated herself badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even if she is now a concubine, the things sent to Qixia Courtyard are considered good.
Maybe Chu Yi didn't even bother to embarrass herself in this regard.
As she thought about it, Chu Xin couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
Mentioning what happened many years ago, Xiao Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled softly the next second.
"Although I can't be in the house all the time, I will keep an eye on the things sent to your courtyard. I will never mess with them casually, and I will not let you be wronged on these things again."
In fact, that's all he can do to make up for the guilt in his heart.
"It doesn't matter, Chu Yi will never interfere with these things. The grudge between her and me has been for too long, so long that I don't even know what hatred I have with her.
This time she wanted to forcefully intervene in the marriage proposal because she didn't want to make things easier for us, but it would only make her unhappy and us unhappy too. "
Chu Xin complained softly, how could she not be resentful about these things?
I always felt that Chu Yi was deliberately angry and just wanted to make life difficult for all of them, so he forced his way in.
Xiao Zhi said nothing, but there was an unnatural look in his eyes.
At the beginning, he only told his father that he wanted to marry Princess Dachu, but he did not name whom he wanted to marry, so he gave Chu Yi the opportunity to make a big fuss.
In fact, from the moment he told his father, he knew that things would probably turn out like this.
"The journey to Wan County this time can take up to eight or nine days, and can take up to five or six days. Be sure to bring enough clothes to avoid freezing."
Xiao Zhi found another topic to talk about, trying to sweep away all the guilt in his heart.
"Don't worry, I've already asked people to prepare it. I'll go and see for myself. There won't be any mistakes."
Chu Xin came to her senses and nodded, and then she couldn't help but smile.
"When I think of only you and me next, I feel that all the dull feelings in my heart are gone, and my whole body feels like it has come to life."
"Yeah?"
Xiao Zhi looked at her tenderly and asked softly.
"yes!"
Chu Xin responded with a smile.
