"But I think the concubine looks quite well-behaved. Would she really do such a thing? It's impossible for her to marry her regardless of her reputation."
Xu Miaorong didn't believe it, and it sounded a bit biased.
She also didn't want to believe that such a well-behaved and sensible woman could be so ignorant and insist on marrying the same man as her sister.
"The Crown Princess should not ask any more questions. Asking too many questions about this matter will hurt the reputation of the concubine." Chu Yi shook her head patiently, "After all, this is what happened in the past. Now you just need to live your life well. "
Chu Yi smiled stiffly. What on earth was going on? If others didn’t know, didn’t she herself know?
If I hadn't insisted on getting married, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had this chance. Wouldn't it be to make Chu Xin happy?
Xu Miaorong didn't ask any more questions, but she felt that it was a bit boring for the two of them to get along with each other. She could also see that the other person's smile was very stiff, which meant that he was suppressing something in front of him.
After saying a few polite words, I asked the people to leave. I didn't want to waste all my time talking about these scenes. Since I couldn't go on, I'd better stop talking.
On the carriage back, Chu Yi took a deep breath. The conversation just now seemed to be not going well. There was obviously nothing to talk about between her and the Crown Princess.
"Don't be discouraged, Princess. You and I are familiar with each other once and for all. We will get better gradually if we meet more often in the future."
Yuexiang advised softly from the side. They had only met once or twice in total, and they were not familiar with the Crown Princess at all. It might be much better if they met more times and became familiar with each other in the future.
"Um."
Chu Yi responded softly. In fact, since the day Xiao Zhi left, she felt a little empty in her heart.
I felt that it was not interesting to go back. Anyway, there was no one I wanted to see in the house, and I had no expectations.
"When will His Highness come back?"
Chu Yi asked, her eyes a little red.
"My slave estimates that it will take half a month, that is, half a month, and it will pass soon!"
Yuexiang gently touched Chu Yi's arm. Half a month may be long or short, it depends on how it goes.
Chu Yi didn't speak, just closed her eyes and leaned on the carriage. Anyway, it was only more than half a month, so she just waited.
Da Chu.
"Young lady, don't you plan to send some congratulatory gifts?"
Futaba asked cautiously, there was a happy event happening in the palace today, and it was reasonable for the young lady to send some congratulatory gifts.
"What does it have to do with me that the emperor gave Chu Shu a decree to marry? I don't want to see her live happily. Is there anything I can give her?"
Chu Yan was drinking alone. When she heard the news, she suddenly felt like she was going to explode.
When she was at her most depressed, Chu Shu was at her happiest. The imperial brother granted her a marriage to General Liu Xuanfeng. The moment she heard the news, she realized how ridiculous she was now.
It turns out that Chu Shu has already moved on and will find her own happiness and the next person she loves. She really will not have anything to do with Gu Xiao.
Thinking that he had gone to her and warned her before, how ridiculous this scene was, and he had really become a complete joke!
"If the young lady doesn't want to give it to you, then I won't give it to you. My relationship with her is not good anyway."
Shuangye shook his head. Now the life of the young lady is really getting more and more sad. Since the arrival of Lian'er, their yard has become extremely deserted, and the young master has really never been here again.
I was still lucky and thought it would be good if this conflict was resolved, but now it seems that this conflict can never be resolved.
Now the young master always stays with Mrs. Lian'er and puts her first in everything. All the delicious and useful things are sent to Mrs. Lian'er, but the yard of the young master has become so deserted.
The young lady simply gave up on herself and got drunk every day. At first, the young lady came a few times, but later the dispute with the young lady became more and more serious, so she simply stopped coming.
"Everyone is living well, everyone is happy, but I am the only one who is not good. Now I have nothing. Is Chu Shu happy? She must be very happy!"
Chu Yan's cheeks were red and she was holding the wine glass tightly. It was really strange. They said that drinking would eliminate worries.
But no matter how drunk he is, those sad things will always be entangled in his mind, and he can't get rid of them. That boring feeling will always be there.
I have lowered my attitude and wanted to save the relationship, but I couldn't save it. Instead, another woman got involved.
She couldn't explain exactly what it felt like. That Lian'er seemed to be very similar to her former self. It was really similar. They both loved to cry so much, and their eyes were red when they cried.
He didn't believe that Gu Xiao could be so cruel all of a sudden and pull all the feelings out of his heart for so many years, so he found a woman who was so similar to him.
But she is clearly here, and she should tell herself clearly if there is anything she needs. Why does she have to pin her feelings on other women?
"Young Madam, you'd better stop giving up on yourself like this. The more you do this, the only one who will be proud is Madam Lian'er!
Mrs. Lian'er pretends to be pitiful and seems to always give in in front of you. She is retreating in order to gain more benefits! Do we really want her to succeed? "
Shuangye really couldn't say anything. He could only step forward and take the wine glass from Chu Yan's hand. He must not give up on himself like this anymore. There is really no benefit in doing so.
"Are you really willing to let Mrs. Lian'er snatch the young master away completely?"
This sentence deeply asked Chu Yan, is she willing? Of course she is not willing?
"Young madam, you really have to cheer up. Mrs. Lian'er is nothing. If you want to deal with her, there are many ways, but no matter what, don't let yourself fall first!"
Seeing that what he just said was effective, Futaba quickly continued her efforts. As long as she could cheer up the young lady, everything would be fine.
Chu Yan suddenly smiled, and her smile was so ironic.
In this case, let everyone have a hard time!
royal palace.
Zhongcui Palace.
"Today, the imperial brother issued the imperial edict for the second marriage. This is indeed a happy event. Is the queen still happy?"
The smile on Chu Shu's lips could not be concealed. Since it was a big happy event, she wanted to bring this joyful atmosphere to Zhongcui Palace.
"Yes, it's rare that you have a good home."
Xie Ruling looked much older. She looked at Chu Shu with a smile on her face, as if she was seeing Chu Xin in the past.
She has watched these two girls grow up, but Chu Xin is no longer with her, and she may never have the chance to see them again in the future.
Ever since Chu Xin left, I felt completely empty. It seemed like there was no point in doing anything. I didn't know who to talk to and what meaningful things to do.
The harem has changed a group of people, and now His Majesty also has his own concubines. They are all old people in the palace and can only live their lives quietly.
However, Chu Shu was a considerate child, and she would come over to talk to her from time to time to pass the time.
"I remember that sister Xin'er was so happy back then. It turned out that she was really happy to marry the man she liked. Until now, I understand her a little bit."
Chu Shu smiled and shook her head. It turns out that things cannot happen to her, and she will never experience it. No wonder Chu's heart was so determined at that time. It turns out that marrying the person she likes is such a pleasurable feeling.
It's just that she can guarantee that she has not misjudged the person and has a way out of regret, but can Chu Xin do it?
"You should hurry back and get ready, and make your mother happy. When you get married in the future, remember to come to the palace to see your mother more often, and remember to come see me more often."
Xie Ruling reluctantly held Chu Shu's hand, and immediately the last person who came to see her was gone. I'm afraid she will really have to experience what this life is like in the future.
"yes."
Chu Shu was immersed in her own joy. This was a lifetime event. The emperor's brother was very kind to them, the emperor's sisters. He just mentioned it at the time, but he didn't expect the imperial edict to come down so soon.
From now on, she and Liu Xuanfeng will be a perfect couple, and she can finally repay her life-saving grace.
After Chu Shu left, she felt that the whole house suddenly became quiet. Xie Ruling didn't want to be disturbed by anyone around her, so she kept everyone waiting outside the door.
She has grown a lot of gray hair. In fact, she has always been well-dressed and well-fed since she came out of the cold palace, but she is always worrying and her heart can never be settled.
It has been almost three months. In fact, Chu Xin has not been away for long, but it feels as if most of her life has passed.
I have never thought that life can be so difficult. I feel that my whole body is suddenly empty and I don't know what to do.
So those concubines without children had such a miserable life, wasting their time day after day without even a single hope.
After all, Chu Xin has been with him for so many years and brought him so much happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.
She was contented.
"This is a happy event! Congratulations!"
As soon as Chu Shu returned to her palace, she saw Gu Ruowan waiting here and immediately smiled.
"Of course I am very happy to be able to marry the person I like. From the moment I received the imperial edict, my heart has been beating non-stop. I am happy and nervous at the same time!"
Chu Shu immediately waved her hand to ask people to leave, and pulled Gu Ruowan to sit on the chair.
"I can see you're very happy!"
Gu Ruowan was also sincerely happy for her good friend. When she saw her just now, she saw that the smile on the corner of Chu Shu's mouth had never disappeared, so she knew how happy she was.
"It's your turn too. Do you have a husband you like?"
Chu Shu asked curiously.
"It's better not to mention this. The whole family feels a little uneasy now. If I get married again, I'm afraid things at home will become more serious."
As soon as she mentioned her family affairs, the smile on Gu Ruowan's face disappeared immediately.
My eldest brother and sister-in-law were in such trouble that even I, an outsider, felt a lot of pressure. As soon as I returned, I felt an invisible sense of irritation all over my body.
"I heard that your brother has a concubine named Lian'er?"
Chu Shu raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised.
In her opinion, Gu Xiao is a completely good man. Didn't he like Chu Yan so much in the past? Wasn't he gentle to Chu Yan in every possible way? How could there be another woman beside him so soon?
"I don't know what my brother is thinking. That Lian'er's life experience is also pitiful. Maybe my brother just thinks that Lian'er is so pitiful and has no intention to deceive anyone. Maybe he is deliberately angry with Chu Yan?"
Gu Ruoyuan shook her head. She really didn't want to get involved anymore. How the affairs of the elder brother and sister-in-law developed, it was their own business, no matter whether the outcome was good or bad.
It can only be said that they had a bad relationship from the beginning. The Chu Yan in my brother's eyes is just in his own memories. Who knows how many layers of aura have been added to it?
When you actually get married, you will realize how ridiculous the halo in your eyes is. No one is so perfect and there will always be shortcomings of one kind or another.
Maybe my brother can't accept the real Chu Yan.
