"Madam, the princess please come over."
Mingyu hurriedly walked in, always feeling that there was nothing good going on. His Highness has not been here these days. Could it be that he forgot Madam Side again?
Chu Xin was silent for a while, as if she had expected something. It seemed that what was supposed to come was still coming, and no matter how hard she tried to escape, it was of no use.
When I arrived, I found that besides Chu Yi, there was another woman sitting next to me. Seeing that she was not dressed like a servant, I already understood something.
"I asked you to come here today just to show you that we have a good sister!"
Chu Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip, carefully looking at Chu Xin's expression. Although she had been angry and irritable before, in the end things were already like this, and more importantly, she wanted to make Chu Xin equally sad.
"younger sister?"
Chu Xin turned to look at Qingyun and asked curiously. She was wearing a light green skirt that looked very delicate. Could it be that that day, Qianqian told her that she was beautiful in green clothes? Servant?
When Qianqian mentioned it at that time, she didn't pay much attention to it. She didn't expect to see such a scene today.
No, this dress is no longer that of a servant, but that of a master.
"I have met my sister." Qingyun seemed to know the rules very well and immediately stood up and nodded to him, "Qingyun is fortunate to be promoted by the princess and can serve your highness. This is my blessing. From now on, Mrs. Side will be my sister. I will definitely be the one when I come here." And we can live in harmony.”
Qingyun smiled softly. Only after becoming a master did she realize how enjoyable this life was. She was wearing silk and satin. She no longer had to be a servant and had someone to take care of her.
This kind of life is really easy. After being a master for a few days, I no longer want to be a servant serving others.
The princess doesn't like this lady, so she must listen to the princess and have a good fight with this lady.
"I see," Chu Xin forced out a smile, "then we will all be sisters."
In a daze, I suddenly returned to my old days in Dachu. I saw how the concubines were harmonious on the surface, but secretly they were really fighting each other to the death. Did I become such a person?
Do women have to repeat these fates after they get married?
"What's wrong with Mrs. Side? Why do you seem to be stunned? Aren't you usually very sharp-tongued in front of me? Why can't you speak today?"
Chu Yi smiled and said, this move was indeed the right move, but when she saw Qingyun, Chu Xin was already stunned. It seemed that the blow to her was quite big!
"I'm not feeling well today, but I'm a little distracted," Chu Xin realized and quickly lowered her head to explain, "Sister Qingyun is young and beautiful. It would be great to be able to serve His Highness."
The more hypocritical words she spoke, the more emptiness Chu Xin felt. Did she really think of such a life? Did she really think that there would be such a time in the first place?
No, she didn't expect it at the beginning. She just relied on her loneliness and thought that she could overcome anything with feelings, but she couldn't overcome it. She couldn't overcome it.
It's like my heart is empty at this moment, there is nothing left, and I feel like I am repeating the fate of those people.
Either you have to fight like a different person, or you can only be trampled on by others. No matter which choice you choose, it seems that it is not good and feels cold.
Chu Xin didn't even realize that her hands hidden in her sleeves were slowly shaking. She suddenly felt that everything was so scary. It was summer, but she felt cold all over.
In the end, I don’t know how I left. I looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was shining brightly. I should have felt warm when the sun shone on my body, but I couldn’t feel any warmth at all.
Suddenly I feel as if my life has ended early, just because I made a wrong step. Is there no room for regret, is there no way out?
"It seems like Mrs. Side doesn't like me. She just said a few words and then said absently that she felt unwell and had to leave. It seems she really doesn't want to see me!"
Qingyun smiled and said, it seems that his role is quite big. Now he can see his identity clearly. As long as he becomes more and more difficult to get along with Mrs. Side, the princess will be happy and his life will be easier.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that your appearance would have such a big impact on her. I almost cried when I looked at her just now!"
Chu Yi said disdainfully, looking at Chu Xin's red eyes, she felt ridiculous. It's just that there is an extra woman in the backyard. Can't you accept this? Do you think you can be with His Highness for the rest of your life?
I used to be irritated and wronged because of these things, but now Chu Xin can finally experience these feelings!
"Princess, in fact, it seems that Mrs. Side is not liked by His Highness. His Highness will only visit her once every seven or eight days. Most of the time he spends in Fanghua Garden. She is not a big deal, and it is impossible to compare with the Princess!"
Qingyun complimented, always remembering that his master is the princess, and just speak to make her happy.
"Do you need to tell me whether she is important or not? The reason why I promoted you and made you the master is to see your worth! Now I finally managed to make me happy, but in the blink of an eye I said If you say something wrong, you are really stupid with your mouth!"
Chu Yi frowned and reprimanded, couldn't he still understand whether Chu Yi had a place in Xiao Zhi's heart? Even if he didn't have that much place, he still had one or two points.
Even such a small position made her feel jealous and crazy. On the surface, Xiao Zhi seemed to be very kind to her and could tolerate anything, but these were just perfunctory on the surface, and she could feel it!
"Yes, what the princess said is true. I was confused and said the wrong thing for a moment!"
Qingyun's heart trembled, and she quickly knelt down to admit her mistake. She didn't understand what she had said wrong. Wasn't it true? She just wanted to use these words to please the princess, why was she angry again?
"You'd better show me how useful you really are, don't just do these lip service, get out!"
Chu Yi looked at Qingyun coldly. She was not a good person and would not do good deeds. There were conditions for being able to make her the master of fine clothes and fine food.
If you can't play your role, you have to return to your original form and become your slave again!
"yes!"
Qingyun quickly got up and went out. When he went out, he covered his heart, his heart beating wildly.
The princess' mood is really too irritable and unstable. She often doesn't know what's wrong with herself. She loses her temper even if she says a few wrong words.
How could His Highness really like a woman like the princess? Men all like gentle, well-behaved and obedient women, so how could he like her like that!
On the way back to his house, Qingyun cursed silently in his heart. It was not because the princess was incompetent, but because she could not keep His Highness's heart no matter what, she felt that Mrs. Side was a threat.
Before he could go back, he was stopped by someone, saying that Xiao Zhi was in the study at the moment and needed someone to serve him.
Qingyun prepared to go over with a smile on his face. As long as His Highness could like him more and more, then maybe he would be able to escape the control of the princess in the future?
Suddenly she saw Chu Xin again at a corner, but she hadn't gone back yet.
"elder sister!"
Qingyun shouted loudly on purpose. Chu Xin turned around and saw that it was her, and was stunned for a moment.
"Shouldn't you be with the princess at this moment?"
I was already worried, and I just felt that the way back seemed to be extremely long. Before I was halfway there, I heard the crisp sound.
"His Highness asked me to come over and serve, but I didn't expect to meet my sister on the way. What a coincidence!"
Qingyun deliberately showed off loudly. In fact, compared with the princess, Mrs. Side's temperament is much gentler, but this is also sorry.
"So that's it." Perhaps the worst thing has already happened, and he is numb to these and has no expression. "In that case, you can go over and don't keep His Highness waiting."
Chu Xin smiled and took a step back to let Qingyun walk over first. Qingyun was enjoying her concession with peace of mind.
"She has become so arrogant in just a few days. If there is no princess behind her, how could she dare?"
Mingyu complained softly, and he also had a premonition that life seemed to be getting worse and worse, and it was nothing like what he had imagined.
"Even if it is the princess's wish, isn't it His Highness who really makes the decision? Doesn't His Highness want to keep the person by his side? Doesn't His Highness want her to be his wife?"
Chu Xin murmured and asked, precisely because she knew who was in charge, so she didn't feel much about Chu Yi's provocation.
In the past, because Xiao Zhi was always on his side, he felt that he could tolerate anything without fear, but now he felt a little confused and confused.
"Mrs. Side, it's better not to say that. The more you say it, the more uncomfortable you will feel."
Mingyu really didn't know how to persuade him, because he couldn't refute these words.
What's more, I just saw it with my own eyes. It was indeed His Highness's people who wanted Qingyun to come over, which meant that His Highness really liked Qingyun, so he kept him by his side.
"I just feel like my life is over after I come here. I feel that everything is so inexplicable and different from what I imagined. Why am I so unhappy?"
Mingyu held Chu Xin's arm, feeling as if Chu Xin was unsteady, all the strength was on her.
"No," Mingyu cried and shook his head, "Maybe all this is just a misunderstanding, maybe His Highness has his own ideas, or maybe His Highness is really just too busy, and will mix everything up and sideways when he is no longer busy. Madam, can you make it clear?"
Mingyu has thought about everything she can imagine, but she also knows in her heart that it is not like this, it is not like this!
There is only one real reason, that is, Xiao Zhi really likes Qingyun and wants her to be his wife. It's that simple, without all those messy reasons!
Chu Xin felt like she had no strength all over her body. She really wanted to find someone to talk to at this moment. She remembered that when Shu'er was the most sad, she could still talk to herself, but now that she was in a foreign country, where could she go?
Apart from Prince Xiang's Mansion, is there any other place I can go to? I am unfamiliar with everything here. I can only stay in my own yard every day. I feel that everything is terrible.
"It's better to go back as soon as possible. Staying outside for too long will cause trouble."
Chu Xin bit her lip hard before she came to her senses. She was still outside and could run into someone at any time. Only when she returned to her Qixia Courtyard would she feel somewhat safe.
Will she stay in Qixia Courtyard for a long, long time? Will it be longer than when she stayed in the cold palace as a child? Will it be as long as a lifetime?
