"What happened again today?"
After getting some space to return home, and seeing the nervous look on the servant's face standing outside the door, he knew that Chu Yi had lost his temper again.
Xiao Zhi could only hold back the impatience in his heart and asked softly when he entered. When he saw Chu Xin kneeling on the ground, a flash of distress flashed in his eyes.
Why do things like this always happen in the backyard? Why can't Chu Yi do her job well and make everyone so embarrassed again and again?
Seeing Xiao Zhi coming over, Chu Yi looked a little unnatural, but she didn't expect that he would come back during the day, thinking that he would not come back until midnight again like before.
I felt a little regretful just now, and now that I saw the person coming back, I felt a little ashamed.
It seems that she really likes to lose her temper. Both her mother and Yuexiang have advised her many times that after getting married, she cannot be as indulgent and willful as she was as a princess before, and she must restrain her temper.
"It's nothing, just something small happened. Madam, please get up. You don't have to kneel on the ground."
Chu Yi walked down with a smile and asked Chu Xin to get up quickly. Let the matter of today be over as it is, and she would not pursue it or care about it.
Chu Xin stood up, it seemed that she finally didn't have to suffer such a slap today.
"Since His Highness has returned to the palace and is spending time with the princess, I will take my leave and not disturb you."
When Chu Xin left, she glanced back quietly. It seemed that as long as Chu Yi was present, she would always be the one to give in. When did she become like this?
Is it possible that we should not live like this in the rest of our lives?
"elder sister."
On the way back to Qixiayuan, Qianqian pulled Chu Xin's sleeves aggrievedly. If she had known that something like this would happen today, she would never have gone out and run around.
"It's okay. You don't have to feel guilty. If I didn't have you today, there would be other things happening. She would definitely make things difficult for me. There will always be various ways. As long as you are fine today."
Chu Xin came back to her senses and smiled and touched Qianqian's head. In fact, Xiao Zhi has been so busy for more than half a month. It was not easy for him to come back today, but he didn't expect that he could only accompany Chu Yi.
I have accumulated a lot of words that I have not said out loud, and sometimes I even forget what I wanted to say.
"It turns out that the princess can be so cruel. I managed to avoid it this time, but what if the princess still wants to bully my sister next time?"
Qianqian frowned and said worriedly. She had heard about the affairs of these rich families when she was a child. If the main wife was not good, the concubines would not live well.
"Okay, don't think about this and just forget about today's events. Just continue to be happy in the future."
Chu Xin smiled and shook her head. She didn't want a child to worry about these things for her. As long as the child was happy, let herself think about these irritating things.
"Has Your Highness finished your work today and come back so early?"
Chu Yi smiled happily, and Chu Xin was indeed quite sensible. He knew that he would retreat without her opening a word, and there was no need to stand here and be an eyesore.
"Yes," Xiao Zhi nodded patiently, "I have done a good job in what the prince and brother asked me to do. I will come back early today. Sometimes every time I come back, I am always worried about what will happen in the backyard. There are many things that I didn’t expect when I came back today and saw that it was indeed the case.”
Chu Yi pulled Xiao Zhi to sit down with a smile on her face, but when she heard this, her smile suddenly froze.
Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Are you blaming yourself?
"Your Highness, are you blaming me?"
Chu Yi felt a little aggrieved. In fact, she knew she was wrong just now, but her thoughts had not changed for a while.
"When I was a princess, I was so indulgent and willful, and no one dared to say anything to me. But now I know that I was wrong, and I am slowly changing. I also know that as a princess, I can no longer be called that, but many times I just can't bear it. Stay!"
Chu Yi said aggrievedly, she really just couldn't help it. Many times she would ignore it when she was angry. How could the habit of being a princess for more than ten years be changed so easily?
"It's okay. As long as nothing major happened today, I just hope that you can get along well in harmony. After all, you are also sisters. Can there be any deep hatred?"
Xiao Zhi comforted him perfunctorily, feeling increasingly bored.
Just now, he resisted not chasing her out. It had been almost half a month since he had a good conversation with Chu Xin. When he came back today, he could only waste time on Chu Yi.
"I have always disliked her, not only because I didn't like her in the palace, but also when I was a princess!"
Chu Yi frowned and said with disdain, the grudge between her and Chu Xin had been forged as early as when she was eight years old, and it was impossible to reconcile just because of that basket of charcoal!
"Okay, okay, you are the princess, you should be more generous and stop arguing over these little things."
Xiao Zhi coaxed helplessly, thinking that she should have accepted the bracelet that Chu Xin gave to the Crown Princess last time, and it would be effective after a little longer.
Just thinking about the fact that the prince and the emperor were so kind to me, I really felt a little bit guilty and felt a little bit guilty.
But soon this feeling of guilt disappeared without a trace. The prince and brother were indeed very kind to him, but it was just a bit of charity, just a mouthful of food to see how pitiful he was.
He doesn't need this kind of kindness, he also wants to sit in the highest position to pity others and give charity to others.
"Your Majesty seems to like Prince Xiang very much recently, and you have asked him to do many things?"
The queen asked intentionally or unintentionally. She originally wanted to ignore these things, but the times were too frequent and she couldn't ignore them anymore.
"Instead of asking him to do it, I'm going to do it with the prince. What happened last time shows that he is a humble and capable person. The prince likes him, how about doing things together?"
King Qi didn't care about this. He had already decided that his favorite prince would be the prince. Now that everything was settled, what would others have to fight for?
"The prince is kind-hearted. I understand that he has been like this since he was a child. It's all his wishes. Let them go. It's good to have a true brother in the royal family."
The queen smiled with relief, and poured tea herself and handed it to King Qi.
"I know that Your Majesty feels guilty for Prince Xiang. After all, he has been a hostage in Dachu for so many years. He really wants to make it up to him. It would be a good thing if the prince can make it up to him."
The queen's meaning is very obvious. It is okay to compensate King Xiang, but it is best for the prince to compensate.
What's more, the prince is his most outstanding son. His Majesty must have thought so when he made him the prince. How could he be disturbed by King Xiang, who had been a hostage in Dachu for so many years?
"That's natural."
King Qi nodded, convinced that this was what he meant.
It is precisely because Xiao Zhi has nothing that he can only hold on to the prince firmly. If he wants to hold on to the prince, doesn't he have to do his best to show his value?
It is precisely because he has nothing and does not have to worry about being able to replace the prince. He will only be the best tool and does not have to worry about any harm.
The queen nodded with satisfaction. After all, she had been married to His Majesty for many years. The two of them had raised the prince together, and they had spent a lot of effort on him.
What's more, wasn't things successful at the beginning? Meizhu did a great job. Now the King of Chu is just a young boy. In the future, it's not certain who will lose or win compared with the Crown Prince?
"Mother."
When the queen returned to her palace, Xu Miaorong had been waiting for her for a long time. When she came back, she immediately stepped forward to greet her with a smile on her face.
"I called you here today because I have something I want to ask."
After sitting down, the queen went straight to the point. There were some things that needed to be understood clearly.
"What do you think of me, Queen Mother?"
Xu Miaorong said doubtfully.
What's more, the prince is the son he has cultivated for so many years. Naturally, he has long been prepared to inherit the throne and will leave him the best.
The King of Qi narrowed his eyes slightly. He could only say that the strategy back then was quite successful. He just sent a beauty and let the former King of Chu die under Peony Flower. As long as he could clear the obstacles for his son, everything would be possible. Do.
"I heard that you have a good relationship with Prince Xiang's concubine. She often goes to the East Palace to talk to you. I just want to know if she is really that good?"
"It's really good. I like talking to her."
Xu Miaorong thought for a while and answered truthfully.
"Since she can make you like her, it means that she is also a very good person. If you are destined, it would be good for her to go to the East Palace to accompany you more often."
The queen patted Xu Miaorong's hand affectionately.
"yes."
Although he didn't know why the queen said this inexplicably, Xu Miaorong could only nod in agreement.
night.
"I hope you're fine today. Fortunately, I came back in time."
Xiao Zhi pinched Chu Xin's face with a smile on his face.
"It's not a big deal. Maybe Chu Yi hasn't adapted to the change of status. She always feels that she is still the same princess as before. She can do whatever she wants?"
Chu Xin smiled and knocked away the hand that was pinching her cheek, and all those unhappy emotions were buried deep in her heart, unwilling to think about it again.
"Looking at how busy you are these days, you must be very important to His Majesty. It seems that His Majesty the Crown Prince is really good to you. I heard that His Majesty always loves the Crown Prince. It seems that this time he is too fond of the prince!"
Chu Xin smiled and said, I think this is quite good. It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is a benevolent person. When he becomes His Majesty in the future, their lives will be easier.
Xiao Zhi didn't say anything, but the smile at the corner of his mouth suddenly froze. The unwillingness suddenly surged up again. He felt that he was not so happy at the moment.
It was this kind of kindness that was given to him again. He understood that the prince and brother were indeed very good to him. This kindness was just that he took out some of it after he was satisfied and threw it to people who were not as good as him.
At this moment, he had to accept it, but he would not have to kneel down and accept it for the rest of his life. One day, he would become the person who gave alms to others.
"In the past, when you were not here, I had many things to say to you every day. I saved them day by day. I only remember saying a lot of things. But now that you are in front of me, I suddenly can't remember them. , I have something to tell you."
Chu Xin talked about her various worries, and fell into a blank while talking. She felt that the words she had saved in the past suddenly became blurred.
"It doesn't matter, what is in the past is in the past. We will have a long time to get along with each other in the future. You can tell me everything you want to say, and I will listen to every word."
Xiao Zhi smiled and hugged Chu Xin into his arms, leaving a deep kiss on her lips.
Only when I was with Chu Xin did I feel more comfortable.
