When it came time to actually go back, Chu Xin thought that she would be extremely reluctant to give up, but she didn't expect that she would accept it calmly.
She sat in the carriage and accepted it all calmly. Xiao Zhi was bidding farewell to the county magistrate outside, just as if she had gained nothing along the way and found nothing.
Someone arranged for another carriage and asked Mingyu and Qianqian to follow them after they left Wan County.
After a while, Xiao Zhi sat up and held her hand to comfort her.
Chu Xin smiled and shook her head, "You don't have to worry about me. I have already made preparations. I have to go back anyway. What's more, it would be good to go back early so that Qianqian can have a home earlier."
"Many times, he is so sensible. I often think that if Chu Yi could be as sensible as you, maybe there wouldn't be so many conflicts."
Xiao Zhi sighed helplessly. After returning home, he would probably have to face Chu Yi's fuss again and have to be patient to coax her. Thinking about it now, he felt tired.
"You'd better not say that. After all, she is different from me. She also has the confidence to be indulgent and willful."
Chu Xin laughed self-deprecatingly. Everyone is different. After all, Chu Yi has been her father's favorite princess since she was born. She has been favored for so many years, so she will definitely be more pampered.
"Okay, if you don't like to hear anything, then I won't tell you." Xiao Zhi glanced at Chu Xin's hair, "I see you wearing that peach blossom hairpin these days, why didn't you wear it today?"
"The peach blossom hairpin is just a wooden hairpin. Don't abide by the rules when you return to the palace. You can only bring some gold and silver hairpins. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to bring them again in the future."
Chu Xin reached out and touched her hair. After she returned, she was a concubine, so she had to abide by the rules of a concubine, and she couldn't bring such unworthy things.
It seems that this peach blossom hairpin can only be placed on the dressing table, and there will be no chance of wearing it in the hair room again.
Chu Yi had been waiting at the palace early in the morning. Her fair face was a little red from the cold, and she was wearing a furry cloak. After receiving a letter saying that she would be back today, she just wanted to wait for him here and see people with her own eyes. return.
"Princess, don't worry, you will definitely be back today. Your hands are a little red from the cold. How about I wait for you here and go back to the house!"
Yuexiang said distressedly, if she wants to wait, just let her wait here. The princess does not have to come out and wait in person.
"I don't want to go back," Chu Yi shook her head, "I've been lonely enough alone these days. I want to wait here personally for his return. I want to see him soon and never leave me alone again. People left behind!”
There was a bit more choking in her tone. She was really fed up with living like this. When she woke up every day, the husband who used to lie next to her was long gone. All the big and small things in the house were worthy of being dealt with by oneself.
I really feel that days like this are so lonely, so lonely and so unbearable.
I have been waiting since the moment I received the letter, so today I have to wait outside in person to see Xiao Zhi come back with my own eyes.
Yuexiang had no choice but to let Chu Yi go, and could understand the other party's expectation.
It has been almost a month since I left. There is no His Highness but the Princess in the palace. It is really lonely.
"Have you arrived in the capital now?"
Chu Xin glanced outside, they could go back today.
"yes."
Xiao Zhi's face was solemn. Although he could go back today, he didn't look very happy.
"The princess will definitely be waiting for you. Then comfort her. After all, she has been waiting alone in the palace for so long, and she still has to deal with many things."
Chu Xin couldn't explain how she felt at the moment. When she went back, she would have to face the existence of another person.
"I don't want to hear these words. You don't understand her temperament. If I coax her a few words, she will listen. She will only be pampered and arrogant and go further and further!"
Xiao Zhi's tone was a little serious, and he turned to one side, unwilling to say anything more.
I thought I was already very good to Chu Yi. Many times I would patiently coax her and turn a blind eye to everything she did.
If she really wants to care about her, she is not worthy of the position of the princess at all. She is so jealous and vicious, and she is not worthy at all!
Chu Xin didn't want to say anything more, she just sat quietly and squeezed the handkerchief in her hand.
When the carriage stopped, she knew she had arrived home. Xiao Zhi quickly went down alone, and she followed slowly behind him.
Sure enough, as soon as they went out, they saw Chu Yi waiting outside, looking very anxious, and saw her throwing herself into Xiao Zhi's arms with a face full of joy.
Xiao Zhi lowered his head and looked at the ground. It was already very cold now. Chu Yi seemed to have been waiting outside for a long time. It seemed that he really wanted to see Xiao Zhi.
"Have you been waiting outside for a long time? Why are your hands so cold?"
Xiao Zhi touched Chu Yi's hand and asked with concern. He hadn't seen Chu Yi for a long time and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
"It doesn't matter. I just want to stand outside and wait. I want to see His Highness come back with my own eyes. Does Your Highness know how sad I am these days and how much I miss you?"
Chu Yi raised her head and looked at Xiao Zhi eagerly, her eyes had already turned red. She had really had enough of the grievances she had suffered for so many days. At this moment, she finally saw the person she had longed for, and she finally felt a little relieved.
"I'm back now, you don't have to worry anymore."
Xiao Zhi coaxed softly.
The two of them were so close to each other, as if Chu Xin didn't exist. She didn't want to step forward and say anything, so she just treated herself as a superfluous person.
"It's so cold outside, hurry in and don't freeze your body."
Xiao Zhi smiled, took Chu Yi's hand and walked in, not caring about Chu Xin standing outside.
"Mrs. Side?"
Mingyu got out of another carriage and didn't understand what was going on. Why didn't His Highness seem to care about Mrs. Side at all?
"It's nothing. The princess has been waiting in the palace for so long. It's normal to miss His Highness. Just let them talk to each other. We'd better not go over and disturb them."
Chu Xin's tone was calm and expressionless, and Mingyu couldn't tell whether she was happy or worried.
Another timid person got out of the carriage, it was Qianqian. She opened her mouth wide and looked at the palace in front of her. She didn't expect it to be so big and luxurious.
Just now, I secretly saw the brother walking in with another woman on the carriage, leaving my sister outside alone. Is that woman the princess that my sister said? Is she my brother's wife?
"You don't have to be afraid. Just stay with me from now on and live in the same courtyard with me."
Chu Xin turned around and smiled and waved to Qianqian, motioning for her to come over. They were already home now, and they would live together in the same yard in the future, so she would not be so bored anymore.
"good."
Qianqian nodded obediently, and Chu Xin took her hand and walked in. Qixia Courtyard was still the same, just like it was before leaving.
"Mrs. Side!"
Lu Lu was packing her things in the house. When she heard the noise outside, she knew that Chu Xin must be back.
"I finally waited until Mrs. Side came back. I feel like Qixia Courtyard is deserted these days without me!"
Luzhu quickly ran forward to greet her with a happy face. When she saw Chu Xin holding a little girl, she looked confused.
"Mrs. Side, who is this little girl?"
How come I went out for a trip and came back with a little girl?
"Her name is Qianqian. Her parents are gone and she has no one to rely on. Your Highness and I felt sorry for her, so we brought her back and will live with us in Qixia Courtyard from now on."
Chu Xin smiled and patted Qianqian's shoulder. From now on, there would be one more person in Qixia Courtyard, so it would not be so deserted and boring.
Qianqian still seemed a little timid and only dared to cling to the familiar Chu Xin.
"yes."
Lu Lu quickly smiled and nodded. Since it was His Highness and Madam Side's wish, he would just keep the little girl in his care from now on.
"Go and clean up the house in the south and let Qianqian live there. Now take her there to see and get familiar with Qixia Garden."
Chu Xin gently pushed Qianqian to Luzhu.
"Qianqian, don't be afraid. This will be your home from now on. Let Lulu take you to see what the place where you want to live is like."
Chu Xin lowered her head and coaxed softly.
"good."
Qianqian nodded obediently and took the initiative to stand next to Luzhu. It could be seen that this sister seemed to be very gentle and she was not afraid at all.
"Is Mrs. Side unhappy?"
After Luzhu took Qianqian down, Chu Xin felt weak and slumped on the chair, not forgetting the scene just now.
Chu Yi happily pulled Xiao Zhi in, leaving herself alone. They were a legitimate couple, so what was she, just a superfluous existence?
"How could I be unhappy? What right do I have to be unhappy?"
Chu Xin laughed at herself, holding her chest and feeling so sore. What are they doing now?
Will Chu Yi tell Xiao Zhi what she has been missing for a while, and will Xiao Zhi coax her so gently?
Just now she just said something wrong in the carriage, Xiao Zhi would ignore him, and even if Chu Yi did so many wrong things, he would still patiently coax her.
"Actually, Madam Side, it's better not to think about these things. It's good to have Your Highness accompany the Princess, so that she won't vent her resentment to Madam again. Let the two of them talk about it themselves if they have anything to say. Let's live our lives well. Just have a good day."
Mingyu bit his lip, not knowing how to comfort him.
The scene just now made even me feel a little uncomfortable as an outsider looking at it. The princess happily pulled His Highness in, leaving Mrs. Side standing outside alone.
"I just feel as if I have become the redundant one," Chu Xin's eyes gradually turned red.
"I just think why is it so unfair? Why can Chu Yi say whatever she wants? In the end, she can be forgiven for anything and no one will blame her. Why should I be so cautious about her?"
I noticed that Xiao Zhi was a little unhappy in the carriage just now, but he didn't even have a chance to explain. He just left like that with Chu Yi, without giving himself a chance to say a word?
Mingyu didn't know how to answer, so he could only stay by Chu Xin's side silently.
Chu Yi was extremely happy. The person he had missed for so long was finally back and could finally touch him.
"Your Highness, you know how much I miss you these days. Without you, the house feels deserted, and everything I do feels like it has no taste. Now that I see you back, I feel like my heart has returned to me again! "
Chu Yi was so happy that she held Xiao Zhi's hand and kept talking, wanting to say everything she had not said since this incident.
I no longer want to be left alone in the house, I just want to stay with Xiao Zhi, no matter where I go, I just want to stay with him.
"Your Highness, I am your legitimate wife, and I am the only one qualified to be by your side!"
Chu Yi pouted and was a little unhappy. In fact, in addition to being deserted these days, what was even more unhappy was that Chu Xin was with Xiao Zhi these days, which made her feel bad and uncomfortable.
"Okay," Xiao Zhi hugged Chu Yi into his arms and comforted her softly, "It's all over. Now I'm back, don't think about it anymore and don't be too sad."
Xiao Zhi could only coax patiently. He had long thought that he would be like this when he came back, and felt helpless and bored.
