East Palace.
Xu Miaorong looked at Chu Xin who was sitting opposite him with a smile on his face. He could often come over to talk to her, and the two of them were in love and could make memories no matter what they said.
"The Crown Princess really doesn't mind my nagging. She is always so kind."
Chu Xin smiled lightly, but she felt a little guilty in her heart.
Maybe the Crown Princess simply likes to talk to herself, but she is different and has other thoughts.
As Xiao Zhi said, Chu Yi, who was on good terms with the Crown Princess, would not dare to embarrass himself in such an upright way. Even for the sake of the Crown Princess, he would not be too harsh on her.
"It doesn't matter. It's good that you can come and talk to me. I know that you and Princess Xiang are not on good terms. I am on good terms with you, so naturally I am partial to you and want you to live a better life."
Xu Miaorong smiled softly, how could he not understand what happened in the backyard? Princess Xiang had a clever temperament and was a little anxious, but the concubine Chu Xin was quite calm.
"Thank you Crown Princess for your kindness. I came here today to give the Crown Princess a gift."
Chu Xin placed the small wooden box on the table and opened it to reveal the jade bracelet. There were some gold threads around the bracelet, making it look exquisite and gorgeous.
"You have a heart."
Xu Miaorong took it with a smile, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully. Looking at the jade color, he knew that it was extremely precious and a good thing.
"I will accept what you give me."
Xu Miaorong put the bracelet back into the small wooden box and asked someone to take it over, making it clear that he had accepted the gift.
She and Prince Xiao Qi are both very gentle people. They have the same temperament, so they can love each other. Knowing that she accepted this gift from Chu Xin showed that she likes Chu Xin.
After going back, she can live a better life in the mansion. At least Princess Xiang has to restrain herself for her own sake.
On the way back, Chu Xin suddenly thought of the Princess Xuan whom she had met a few days ago. Princess Xuan was very eloquent, and she was really very good at speaking. Just a few words aroused Chu Yi's anger again. , allowing himself to be slapped.
Thinking of such a gentle and kind princess, I thought about why people are so different. There is such a huge difference.
There was a pastry shop in front of her, and she smelled the sweet pastries. Thinking that Qianqian often came to her house these days, she asked Mingyu to buy some pastries and take them back.
Qianqian had some free time these days, and the incense she wanted had been prepared. She looked at her and patted her chest, saying that he was very powerful. He remembered all the secret recipes of his parents and could perfectly prepare the spices.
Chu Xinhou was outside the shop and couldn't help but smile when she thought of Qianqian's cute and cute appearance.
At the beginning, I thought it would be a good thing to bring this little girl back. Qixiayuan is quite big, so it would be good to let Qianqian accompany me, at least I wouldn't be so lonely.
She looked up at the sky. It was a nice day and the sun was shining brightly. I wonder if it was the same in Dachu.
Suddenly I thought of that letter again, and how my mother looked when she wrote it. Do you feel distressed and angry with her?
Do you think why you are so disobedient and insist on marrying her? Has your mother already anticipated what the future will be like?
Chu Xin's heart suddenly tightened again, and she didn't dare to think about it any more, and didn't dare to face her mother's disappointment and heartache.
Over there in Dachu, it was raining continuously and the air was damp.
Xie Ruling was much older, with some gray hair growing on her head. She felt that her life was very boring every day, and there were not many people she could talk to.
Even the queen mother, her former enemy, lived her own life quietly, because the late emperor was dead and there would be no more changes. Their stories were all over.
"Mother, please drink the medicine."
Mingruo brought a bowl of soup over. I don't know why, but since the princess left, the empress's health has slowly become worse. She always has some headaches and brain fever, and the soup has never stopped.
"I don't want to take medicine at all. It won't be of any use. I don't have a physical illness, it's a mental illness that no one can cure."
Xie Ruling sat on the chair and shook her head when she saw Ming Ruo bringing the medicine, unwilling to drink any more.
If others don't know about him, doesn't she herself know why her body is like this? Could it be cured by these medicines?
It was because I was worried about Chu Xin, worried about my daughter, and could see through my daughter's future life, that's why I was always worried and worried and became sick.
"Are you worried about the princess?"
Mingruo reluctantly put down the decoction and stayed by his side to talk to her. In fact, he knew that the empress was too lonely.
"Your Majesty, you can think on the bright side. The princess and His Highness Prince Xiang have known each other for so many years. The relationship between them must be very deep. Even if there is another person, it shouldn't have much of a relationship."
Mingruo could only comfort her in this way, but in fact she didn't think about it. It would be fine if Princess Xiang was replaced by someone else, but Princess Xiang was Princess Yi.
The conflict between Chu Yi and Princess Xin'er is simply too deep. If the two of them work together with the same husband, I am afraid that Princess Xin'er will be wronged.
The empress must have considered this, so she was depressed all day long and her health gradually deteriorated.
"Don't say these words to comfort me. I have lived longer than you all. I have experienced many things and I can see them clearly. Xin'er will definitely regret it."
After Xie Ruling finished speaking, she covered her chest and coughed for a while. In fact, no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't see anyone. She was thousands of miles away, and he didn't know what was going on over there.
Ming Ruo bit her lip and didn't know what to say. In fact, she also felt that it was too sudden for the princess to marry, especially marrying Princess Yi together.
It's just that the princess had to be like this at that time. It was useless for anyone to say it. Even the empress couldn't persuade her, so I had to let her go.
If the princess knew that her empress was in this state, would she still marry her without hesitation? Would she regret it at all?
"I just feel that time flies so fast. I still remember what Xin'er looked like when he was a child. I still remember the time in the cold palace at the beginning. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he would grow up, and in the blink of an eye, I would never see him again. She’s gone.”
Xie Ruling gasped and felt very uncomfortable. Ever since Chu Xin left, she always dreamed. What she dreamed about the most was the days in the cold palace. Those were the days when she thought she was the most miserable, but she didn't expect that now. is what I miss the most.
He didn't expect that the fate between him and Chu Xin would be so short-lived. He raised her up but couldn't see her again. He didn't know if he could see her again in the future.
"My Majesty, please don't think like this. The more you feel like this, the more you need to take good care of yourself. Maybe you will have the opportunity to see the princess again in the future. The princess also hopes that your Majesty will be healthy!"
Mingruo went over and patted Xie Ruling's shoulder gently. In fact, she also felt that her life was very boring now.
The harem has long been a battlefield for another group of people. The late emperor's concubines only need to live their own lives, and the previous battles have long been forgotten.
If the concubine has children, it's okay, and she has hope. If she doesn't have children, she will stay alone in her palace and suffer slowly.
"There is also Princess Shu. She will often come to the palace to see the empress."
Thinking of Chu Shu, Mingruo quickly comforted her.
"Before the princess went to Northern Qi, she had the best relationship with Princess Shu. Now that Princess Shu is married, she seems to be living a happier life. However, Princess Yan doesn't seem to be doing well. I heard what happened in the Duke's Mansion. The commotion is so difficult that even the palace officials know about it."
Mingruo said something else to divert attention. At the moment, Princess Yan's matter was making a fuss. Everyone in the palace knew about it, which showed that this matter was quite serious.
"Chu Yan?" Xie Ruling knew that her relationship with Chu Xin was not good. "Even the palace knew about it, which shows how helpless this matter is. Life is just what people live."
Liu Mansion.
"Last time I went to see her, we parted on bad terms without saying a few words. How can this get better? It seems like the whole family must be in a state of uproar to be satisfied."
Chu Shu complained helplessly, and the Queen Mother asked her to persuade Chu Yan. At least she could be harmonious on the surface, but she could not let the common people see the royal joke.
She also tried to persuade her, but Chu Yan still punished Lian'er in front of her, which made it clear that she was unwilling to reconcile.
It's just that he didn't expect that Gu Xiao would be so cold-hearted towards Chu Yan, and directly broke the person's arm. I can only say that it would be really scary if a person changes his mind!
She had always remembered the image of Gu Xiao holding Chu Yan tenderly in her arms, but she never expected that it would be like this now.
"If you can't persuade her, then don't persuade her. If you don't have a good relationship with her, it will only make you look bad."
Liu Xuanfeng said distressedly, this is obviously not a good thing. How can others know how to deal with the couple's affairs?
"She didn't show any emotion to me, she just punished Lian'er in front of me, and then she made things worse and worse, like a knot that can't be opened, and it will never get better. "
Chu Shu shook her head helplessly, picked up the tea and drank it one sip after another, thinking that no matter how much she talked about that day, Chu Yan still couldn't listen to anything.
"Actually, Chu Yan has always been like that. She has never changed. She is always immersed in her own world. She is not willing to listen to other people's advice or believe it. She stubbornly believes that she is not worthy of love. I want everyone to suffer with her!"
The more Chu Shu talked, the angrier she became. She put down the teacup angrily and tried to persuade her in a good voice. However, she received a burst of strange ridicule. Who did she owe this to?
"Okay, don't be angry, don't be angry," Liu Xuanfeng stepped forward and put his arms around Chu Shu's shoulders, pulling her into his arms.
"That's her own life, and it's her own business how she lives it. As long as you live a happy life, that's fine. We just need to live our own life."
Liu Xuanfeng's gentle persuasion made Chu Shu feel a little relieved. This was quite right. How Chu Yan lived her life was her own business.
It was quite sad to see that he and Chu Shu seemed to have lost any love as a couple.
But that's all their business, I just need to be affectionate with Liu Xuanfeng.
