This is Chu Xin's first Spring Festival in Northern Qi. There will naturally be a palace banquet in the palace. Xiao Zhi has already gone to the palace with Chu Yi, leaving her alone in the palace.
He felt that this was nothing. He was quiet in the palace and had to say some polite words when he went to the palace. It was really boring.
"Will sister be unhappy?"
Qianqian sat obediently next to Chu Xin, leaning on her, knowing what happened today.
I knew that His Highness took the princess to the palace, leaving my sister alone in the palace. I knew that my sister was a concubine, and according to the rules, I could only bring the princess into the palace.
"I'm only a little bit unhappy, but you are all by my side, and our yard is lively!"
Chu Xin smiled and touched Qianqian's face. Mingyu and Luzhu were both around, so what else could be bad?
"Actually, Mrs. Side, there is no need to feel sad. I can see that His Highness has a place for you in his heart."
Luzhu said comfortingly that she has become quite familiar with Chu Xin during this period of time. It can be seen that His Highness must have a place for her in his heart.
"That's right!"
Mingyu also nodded in agreement. They were all sitting around here, surrounded by tea and cakes. It was snowing outside, and the charcoal fire was lit inside, which made the room warm.
"You still need to eat more and take supplements in the future, just gain a little weight. I remember when I first saw you, you were skinny and small, but now you have finally gained some weight!"
Chu Xin took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Qianqian's mouth. Ever since Qianqian came, she felt a lot more lively every day.
Qianqian is always tinkering with some spices in the house, so just waiting for her to successfully make the incense, the incense she made by herself smells unique.
"I'm already trying to eat it!"
Qianqian blinked her eyes and said aggrievedly.
This look made Mingyu and Luzhu laugh. All they could say was that the little girl was very cute.
It was already very late. Chu Xin asked everyone to go down to rest. Sitting alone in the room, Chu Xin felt very quiet. The lively atmosphere suddenly calmed down.
This is the first Spring Festival in Northern Qi. You can hear all kinds of lively sounds outside. What is Xiao Zhi doing now? Is he talking to Chu Yi with all kinds of polite words?
She knew that Xiao Zhi would definitely come, so she waited here, but she still felt a little depressed in her heart. It seemed that whenever something important happened, Chu Yi would always be the one standing next to Xiao Zhi, and she would always give in. .
No matter whether it is big or small, we have to give in, and we have to take Chu Yi's existence into consideration. A third person has squeezed in between ourselves and Xiao Zhi, and we have to think about her in everything. exist.
This feeling seems really bad. Many times I deliberately forget this feeling, but it is reminded all the time every day that there is already another person between them.
Will we have to live like this in the future?
Chu Xin poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. She shouldn't have such thoughts anymore, and shouldn't always doubt herself like this.
Now that this is already the case, you should live your life well and stop thinking so much.
But can you really control yourself and not think about it?
Just like at this moment, I can't help but think about what will happen to Xiao Zhi and Chu Yi. Will they be the most suitable couple in the eyes of outsiders? Isn't it true that I am just a concubine and cannot be on the stage?
Chu Xin sat alone in silence for a long time. When the lively sounds outside slowly became quiet, the door finally opened.
It's Xiao Zhi, he's finally back.
There seemed to be a little snow on his shoulders, and there seemed to be some snowflakes on his eyelashes, making him look dusty.
"Is it still snowing outside? Isn't anyone holding an umbrella? Why is there so much snow on me?"
Chu Xin quickly stood up and patted the snow on Xiao Zhi's shoulder, and was indeed hugged.
"I don't want to be there, I just want to come back and see you. I just want to be with you tonight."
Xiao Zhi closed his eyes and felt very tired.
Isn't that what a palace banquet is all about? It's really tiring to pretend to be familiar with people you don't know at all and say polite words.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. It doesn't matter. I just wish you could come over."
Chu Xin was expressionless, as if she had been waiting, passively waiting, since she came here.
"Won't Chu Yi be angry if you come here like this?"
Chu Xin continued to ask numbly.
I seem to have asked this question many times. Chu Yi's existence must be considered in many things.
"She was too drunk and had gone to rest."
Xiao Zhi didn't notice this. He didn't want to say anything or do anything today. He just wanted to stay with the person he liked and be quiet.
When she woke up early the next morning, the people around her had already left. Chu Xin got up to freshen up and go to Fanghuayuan later.
Just thinking about what happened last night, I still feel very heavy. It seems that I have always had this inexplicable feeling since I came here.
It would be nice if there was no other person between him and Xiao Zhi.
After leaving, he still greeted him respectfully. Maybe Chu Yi was in a good mood today, so he didn't embarrass her much. Instead, he asked her to sit and have tea together.
"After what I experienced last night, I realized that His Highness's situation would be so difficult. Therefore, it is very important to have a good relationship with the Crown Princess. Do you understand?"
Yesterday's scene was really not good. Maybe it was because my status as the Princess of Dachu could give Xiao Zhi some face, otherwise the situation would only be worse.
"Didn't you go to the palace banquet yesterday, but what happened?"
The Xiao Zhi I saw yesterday seemed very tired, so he didn't ask any more questions. Did something happen?
"It's just that I feel that there is nothing behind His Highness, and there are not many people who are loved by my father. There are many people who are just adding insult to injury to others!"
Chu Yi said angrily, when has she ever been wronged like this? She must help His Highness reach the highest position and never suffer such anger again!
Chu Xin lowered her eyes and didn't know what to say. It was precisely because she knew this that she was willing to make friends with Xu Miaorong. It would definitely be beneficial to make friends with the Crown Princess.
"I don't talk to the Crown Princess, and it won't be of any use to you if you talk too much. You can talk to the Crown Princess. Every day when you are free, go to the East Palace to talk to the Crown Princess. If you need anything, just tell me. I will give you."
Chu Yi could only place her hope on Chu Xin. As long as he could help His Highness, everything would be easy.
"I understand this."
Chu Yi didn't need to say more. Chu Xin understood this. She had already understood it. It was just that Chu Yi was too arrogant to see this. She had to experience it in person to understand.
"I received a letter from Dachu yesterday, which coincides with the Spring Festival. It can also relieve our homesickness. These letters are for you."
Chu Yi looked at Yuexiang, who put the letter on the table respectfully.
"Finally received a reply again, thank you Princess!"
Chu Xin immediately smiled and took the letters into her hands. Every time she received a reply, she was the happiest time. She wanted to know what happened to Da Chu and how her mother and Shu'er were doing.
"These days are full of joy, so don't let us get into trouble. When you receive the letter, take it back and look at it carefully. Remember I told you to go to the East Palace more often and make sure you make good friends with the Crown Princess."
Chu Yi looked good today, precisely because she knew how difficult His Highness's life was, so she didn't want him to always worry about things in the backyard.
"yes."
Chu Xin returned to Qixiayuan with the letter and couldn't wait to open it and read it.
It turned out that Chu Shu was also married, to Liu Xuanfeng, the man who saved her life that day. No wonder there was already a fate between them.
And the conflict between Chu Yan and Gu Xiao is getting deeper and deeper, to the point where even the Queen Mother can't stand it.
Chu Xin frowned as she watched. The matter had reached the palace, and even the Queen Mother knew about it. It seemed that this was not a trivial matter, but in order to take the royal family's face into consideration, someone would definitely be sent to persuade Chu Yan.
It seems that this is another bad fate.
When I received the letter from my mother, my hands were shaking, and I suddenly didn't dare to open it and read it.
He knew that his passing would definitely bring a great blow to his mother, and would definitely make her miss him all the time.
When she saw those words expressing her longing for each other, Chu heart burst into tears.
"Don't be too sad, Mrs. Side. Your Majesty only hopes that Mrs. Side will have a happy life."
Mingyu was comforting him. It was a good thing to receive these letters. He was full of joy these days, so don't cry.
"I just miss my mother so much. I can't imagine how lonely she must be alone."
Chu Xin suddenly put down the letter, covered her face with her hands and couldn't help crying.
I don't know what happened to me, but I suddenly felt a strong feeling of regret. The moment I saw these letters, the feeling of regret had never been so intense.
"Mrs. Side?"
Mingyu was anxious and didn't know what to do. He could only pat Chu Xin on the shoulder gently. Maybe he just missed his empress too much.
"Mingyu, I'm fine. Please go out first and leave me alone for a while."
After Mingyu went out, Chu Xin burst into tears aggrievedly. She felt that she had been holding back a lot of things and couldn't bear it anymore. Today she could only cry out completely.
I feel that life here is not what I imagined. It turns out that the existence of another person is such a difficult thing.
It turned out that the relationship between her and Xiao Zhi was not as beautiful as imagined. Normally, it was just trivial matters. As long as anything big happened, Chu Yi would only be standing next to Xiao Zhi.
She was just a concubine who couldn't get on the stage. Just like last night, she could only wait at home for Xiao Zhi. If Xiao Zhi didn't come, there was nothing she could do.
Waiting, waiting, always waiting.
I really hate this feeling of waiting. I don’t know what the outcome will be. My heart is squeezed tightly while waiting.
As for the love that was promised, it was promised that it would only be the two of them, but no more, all of this is gone!
Mingyu stood outside and heard the sound of crying inside the house, feeling very worried and distressed.
In fact, life here is not as beautiful as imagined, because Chu Xin is just a concubine, and she must take into account the princess's existence at all times.
This must be a very bad feeling, just like last night I could only wait until so late for His Highness to come over. Even if he came over, he still had to worry about whether the princess would be angry.
Suddenly, I had a very uneasy premonition. Will Chu Xin regret it? Will she regret coming here despite everything? Will she regret leaving her?
