The life was considered peaceful, and Xiao Zhi often stayed in Fanghua Courtyard later on, which satisfied Chu Yi, and many people did not want to embarrass Chu Xin.
On this day, Xiao Zhi said that if nothing happened, he could take Chu Xin to the East Palace to meet the Crown Princess, but Chu Yi frowned and was unwilling.
She has already gone to see the Crown Princess twice, and each time was more embarrassing than the last. She didn't want to repeat this again, and she didn't have anything to say.
"But I don't have anything to talk about with the Crown Princess. If we force ourselves to get together, I'm afraid it will be boring."
Chu Yi held Xiao Zhi's arm and shook her head reluctantly. She was not a person who could bear to please others. She was the only one who could be pleased by herself.
I have been pampered here and have never suffered any major grievances.
Although the Crown Princess is a kind-hearted person, she can't even talk to her and sitting there feels like torture.
When I came back from the last time I went to the East Palace, I didn't know how embarrassing it would be, and I really didn't want to go again.
"She is the Crown Princess after all, and being friendly with him is of great use. What's more, if you take Chu Xin with you, didn't the Crown Princess like her very much last time?"
Xiao Zhi persuaded softly, and could only sigh silently in his heart that Chu Xin and Chu Yi were different. If it were Chu Xin, he would definitely do these things well.
"Since the Crown Princess likes Madam Side, let Madam Side go by herself!"
Chu Yi said angrily, she didn't like to hear Chu Xin's name in the first place, but to mention it now, it really made her feel unhappy.
"You are the princess after all. Many things depend on you. Be obedient and don't be angry."
Xiao Zhi took Chu Yi's shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and tried his best to suppress the feeling of impatience.
"Your Highness has said so, so I have no choice but to obey!"
Chu Yi shrank into Xiao Zhi's arms, bit her lip and nodded aggrievedly.
Even if it is for His Highness, I can only feel aggrieved. In fact, I understand the relationship. It is definitely a good thing to be friends with the Crown Princess.
In the next few days, Chu Yi sent someone to the East Palace to deliver a greeting card. After receiving a reply, he sent someone to Qixia Courtyard to deliver the news. Xiao Zhi had told Chu Xin before, and she also understood the relationship.
"As long as you can be on good terms with the Crown Princess, that can only be a good thing."
Chu Xin smiled and said, in fact, apart from these, she also sincerely wanted to talk to Xu Miaorong. She was too lonely here alone.
People who don’t know many people here can only stay in their own courtyard every day. In fact, being able to go out and talk to others is also a kind of expectation.
"It's just that I always have to go with the princess. Every time the princess is present, it will definitely make Madam Fang bad!"
Mingyu was a little dissatisfied. It was certainly a good thing to be able to see the Crown Princess, but the Princess would also be present. How many opportunities would the Lady have to speak?
"That's okay, as long as I can go out and meet people."
Chu Xin shook her head. In fact, she was used to this way of getting along. He, she and Chu Yi would never be able to get along, and they would definitely try to get on top of her every time.
In fact, Chu Yi was not that bold in front of Xu Miaorong. He should know how to suppress himself and not say those ugly and willful words.
"How is Qianqian doing today? Is she okay?"
Chu Xin looked out the window. The weather had become colder in the past few days. Fortunately, the charcoal fire was delivered in sufficient quantity. Qianqian's room was also warm and would definitely not freeze.
"Qianqian is fine, but she likes to make some spices in the past few days. I didn't think it was a big deal, so I let her go."
Mingyu said, feeling that the little girl Qianqian is quite smart, well-behaved and sensible.
"Spices?" Chu Xin asked curiously, "Why is she interested in spices, and how does she know how to make these?"
"Qianqian said that her parents made a living by making spices, and she had learned these things from a young age. So she asked someone to buy some spice-making things and let her tinker with them. This girl is really smart. Well, no wonder Madam Side and His Highness brought her back!"
Mingyu praised, who wouldn't like a well-behaved, obedient and sensible little girl?
Ever since Mrs. Side and His Highness brought Qianqian back, Qixia Courtyard is no longer so deserted, and laughter can often be heard.
"I see. Since she likes it, let her go. People should really find something to do that interests them."
Chu Xin nodded, but she didn't think it was a big deal. If she liked spices, just let her do it by herself. It was not easy to find something that interested her.
Chu Yi reluctantly agreed to what Xiao Zhi said last time. When would she be willing to be patient in front of others?
After going there once or twice, I felt like I was asking for trouble. Every time Xu Miaorong only liked to talk to Chu Xin, but left her alone. I really felt embarrassed and boring.
When will Chu Yi be able to bear this kind of grievance, she will simply not go and let Chu Xin go by herself.
"I guessed that this would be the case. Chu Yi has never been a person who can talk to others. She herself needs someone to coax her!"
Xiao Zhi said helplessly that he just wanted to stay in Qixiayuan tonight, he just wanted to have a good talk with Chu Xin, and he didn't want to worry about anything else.
"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter, as long as I can help you, not to mention the Crown Princess is really good to me, and maybe as long as I have a good relationship with the Crown Princess, maybe Chu Yi won't dare to embarrass me anymore. ?”
Chu Xin turned around and faced Xiao Zhi face to face. In fact, she was really happy today, as if the person she had been waiting for for a long time finally came to her side.
Being friends with Xu Miaorong is a good thing, a very big good thing, even for her personally.
No matter how hard Chu Yi is, she still has to suppress her temper in front of Xu Miaorong. This is not Da Chu, and she is not the princess who can be arrogant and willful.
"That's right. The Crown Princess likes you, so you can go over and talk to her from time to time. You can also go out and relax. I know that you always stay in Qixia Courtyard every day. You just don't want to meet Chu Yi or have any more troubles. What a dispute.
I don’t want you to be bored all the time, so Qianqian can accompany you now, but you still need to go out and walk around after all. "
Xiao Zhi either didn't know or couldn't feel everything Chu Xin did. It was because he knew that he felt guilty.
In fact, I understand that Chu Xin doesn't want to have a dispute with Chu Yi, because it will also make him uncomfortable, and no matter who he favors, it will be hurt.
"So we are the ones who have the same understanding and understand each other best, even if we don't say it out loud, we understand it in our hearts."
Chu Xin smiled with satisfaction and said, how could the feelings of so many years disappear so easily? These memories will always exist.
"That girl Qianqian has been tinkering with some spices recently. The incense she made at such a young age is quite delicious. It turns out that her parents were in the spice business and she has learned this since she was a child."
Chu Xin seemed to have endless things to say, talking about various things that had happened recently. After finally meeting Xiao Zhi once, she wanted to finish all the words she had accumulated at once.
"Really?" Xiao Zhi pretended not to know and asked curiously, "I didn't expect that she is quite smart. If you want anything, just let the servants buy it. The servants should find something they like to do."
"yes."
Chu Xin smiled.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next day, Xiao Zhi left the imperial court and was about to return to his mansion, but he was stopped by someone. It turned out that it was someone close to King Xuan who invited him to a gathering at his mansion.
Xiao Zhi raised his eyebrows, knowing what this was for.
King Xuan has been waiting for a long time. Although nothing happened in the past few days, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart. He must call the person back to investigate in person.
The prince and brother asked Xiao Zhi to go to Wan County to check. It was clear that he had some suspicions. If nothing could be found, forget it. If something was really found...
"I wonder why Brother Xuan Wang wants to see me?"
Although Xiao Zhi knew what it was for, he could only pretend that he didn't know. Only the prince and brother had good intentions towards him, and the rest of the people were nothing more than that.
"I still remember meeting you when I was young. At that time, you seemed very pitiful and could only be bullied by others. Later, you went to Dachu to be a hostage for so many years. It was because of being a hostage for so many years that your father The king felt guilty for you and made you King Xiang."
There was obviously ridicule in King Xuan's words. He had always looked down on his younger brother, but he was just born from a slave. How could he deserve to be called brother to him?
Xiao Zhi said nothing and looked calm.
"The Crown Prince asked you to go to Wan County some time ago. Let me know how you are doing."
In fact, looking at this matter, I probably didn't find anything major. Otherwise, how could the prince and brother endure it? It's just that he himself was a little uneasy.
"Everything is good there. Thanks to Brother Xuan Wang's initial contribution to disaster relief, the lives of the people there are all good. My father even praised Brother Wang for this."
Xiao Zhi also felt that when he told lies, his face did not turn red and his heart did not beat. It was so natural.
"That's good."
King Xuan nodded with satisfaction. He had never taken this younger brother seriously before. He felt that what he did was perfect and he couldn't find any problems.
Xiao Zhi smiled sarcastically while sitting on the carriage back home. Maybe the fate of people is different.
King Xuan acted viciously without caring about the lives of the people, just for the reward from his father, but he could still live so well. His mother was Chun Guifei, who was once the most beloved by his father, and gave him so much help.
But what do you have?
Just like what he said just now, his position as King Xiang was obtained by being a hostage in Dachu for so many years.
If the crown prince and brother had not spoken for him at the beginning, his father would have even wanted to regret the promise he made to the Princess of Dachu.
Why is this all so ridiculous?
When I got off the car at the palace, I saw Chu Yi waiting outside. She seemed very anxious. When she saw him coming down, she came up to him with a face of joy.
"Why did Your Highness come back so late today? I was worried about you, so I waited outside."
Chu Yi's face turned red from the cold, but she didn't want to just wait by herself, she just wanted to see her husband.
"It's cold outside before we go inside."
Xiao Zhi thought it would be nice if Chu Xin was waiting outside. There were only a lot of things he wanted to say to her at the moment.
When talking to Chu Yi, most of the things he said were not true, and he had to be patient to coax her. Sometimes he felt that he was really boring and boring.
"Your Highness doesn't seem to have come to see me these days. Did I do something wrong?"
After returning to the house, everyone was asked to leave, leaving only the two of them.
Chu Yi really missed Xiao Zhi and just wanted to talk to him alone.
