"Just tell me if you dare to bet?"
Chu Yi spoke ambiguously.
"Now that we've reached this point, what can't I dare to gamble on?"
Chu Xin acquiesced. Anyway, he still had nothing. Even if he had to gamble, he wouldn't lose anything in the worst outcome.
"Very well, you must remember what you said today."
Chu Yi suddenly smiled very strangely, "The girl that His Highness and you brought back last time is of great use. You have to keep her by your side and take good care of her, and be sure not to make any mistakes. "
"I know."
Chu Xin nodded, and when she went out, she covered her heart with her hand, feeling that her heart was beating very fast.
"What's wrong with this lady?"
Luzhu held her hand and asked worriedly, "Is it the princess who is in trouble again?"
"It's nothing. I'll ask Mingyu to bring Qianqian over when I get back. I have something to tell her."
Chu Xinqiang kept calm.
"What's wrong, sister?"
There were only two of them in the room at the moment. Chu Xin pulled Qianqian to sit next to her and touched her head.
"Do you still remember why Your Highness and I brought you back that day?"
"Remember," Qianqian nodded vigorously, "I know exactly what His Highness Prince Xuan did in Wan County that day. I think it was because of these things."
"Yes, His Majesty is seriously ill now, so you said that everything should be left to His Highness the Crown Prince, but His Highness King Xuan must intervene, so their conflicts have gradually become deeper and deeper..."
As Chu Xin spoke, her whole mood became confused again. Why were she so worried about Xiao Zhi? Why did she pay attention to all of this? What does it have to do with being a side wife?
What's more, doesn't Xiao Zhi pay attention to his own affairs? Doesn't he think about his own plans? Does he need to worry about it by himself?
"What's wrong, sister?"
Qianqian grabbed Chu Xin's hand worriedly, stared at her face and asked carefully, she was clearly talking just now, why was she stunned again?
"It's nothing. You go back to your room and stay well. I just asked the princess good night when you came back. I'm a little tired and want to take a rest."
Chu Xin reacted and quickly shook her head with a smile. Qianqian obediently closed the door and left, and the room suddenly became quiet.
Why did she think of this inexplicably just now, but what she thought was just the truth, and it had nothing to do with her side wife.
That night, when I was asleep, I was shaken awake by someone. What I saw when I opened my eyes was someone I hadn't seen for a long time, Xiao Zhi.
"Why are you here so late?"
Chu Xin rubbed her eyes and got up sleepily. At this moment, Xiao Zhi was still wearing brocade clothes. It looked like he had come back in a hurry.
"I just really want to come and see you. My father has been seriously ill in the past few months, and many things have become extremely complicated. Many times I don't have time to go back to my hometown. I'm sorry, but I owe you so much." many."
Xiao Zhi sat on the edge of the bed and held Chu Xin's face. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked really weathered.
"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
Chu Xin didn't seem to understand. She still squinted her eyes slightly and looked sleepy, as if she was about to fall down and fall asleep.
"It's nothing," Xiao Zhi suddenly shook his head, "It's rare that I have free time today, so I rushed back home overnight to see you. I'm going to the East Palace soon. It's an eventful time now, not to mention Qianqian is still in your yard. I'll come The less often I see you, the better for you, okay, go to sleep, go to sleep quickly!"
Xiao Zhi gently put Chu Xin down again, covered her eyes with his hands, and soon she fell asleep again, thinking that all this was just a dream.
When she heard the sound of the door closing again, she knew that the person had left. Chu Xin closed her eyes and reached out to touch the place where Xiao Zhi had been sitting just now. There was still a little warmth, proving that someone had really been here just now.
"What's going on outside now?"
When she got up the next day, Chu Xin thought that last night was just a dream. She was sitting by the window looking at the scenery outside. It was already midsummer, and she felt the sun was burning her after going out for a while.
"It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Xuan are fighting openly and secretly. Your Highness is naturally joining His Highness the Prince's side. Prince Xuan does not dare to do anything to His Highness the Crown Prince. He only dares to vent his anger on our Highness!"
Lulu came over with tea and was indignant.
Chu Xin didn't speak, but just thought of those words last night, and suddenly felt that her heart became unusually calm, like the calm before the storm.
And what Chu Yi said was equally unpredictable, but it didn't matter. Even if she lost the bet, what else could she lose?
"Mrs. Side, Mrs. Qingyun is here!"
Mingyu came in with an unhappy look on her face. The incident last time caused Mrs. Side to suffer such a big loss. Besides the princess, the culprit was Qingyun!
"Why is she here? Let her come over. She can also talk to me."
Or maybe after suffering the most fatal blow, you will become extremely calm about everything.
"Mrs. Side, are you blaming me?"
Qingyun didn't seem to be in a good mood. His Highness was not at home these days. She was alone in the house, and she felt very bored.
The last time the princess came, she said some incomprehensible words that I couldn't understand. She was really bored.
"The one who really wants to teach me a lesson is the princess. Why should I blame you?"
Chu Xin smiled and poured a cup of tea. She could see that Qingyun, like herself, felt that it was really boring to live this life seriously.
"Actually, Mrs. Feng is quite smart, but the princess doesn't like you and wants to embarrass you, so I have no choice but to be obedient.
But during this period, His Highness was not in the mansion at all. He didn’t know many things at all. If he were in the mansion one day, he would not let Mrs. Side suffer these grievances. I can feel that His Highness likes it most. Actually it’s you! "
When she said the last sentence, Qingyun lowered her voice specially. The reason why the princess hated Mrs. Side so much was simply because she also knew who his highness really liked.
This is a woman's intuition.
"Really?" Chu Xin said a little funny, "You said he really likes me, so why not let me be the princess and only let me be the side wife? In fact, there is no difference in status between you and me, so Is this what you said, the person you really like is me?"
Qingyun didn't know what had happened to her over the years. In her opinion, it was very important to get some good things from Xiao Zhi, but what she once got was very good, and now it has become two or three points. Yes, this is the saddest thing.
"Aren't you happy, Mrs. Side, to get this? But in my opinion, Mrs. Side is really very happy. You are a princess just like the princess, a well-dressed princess. Even if you are bullied by the princess, you are still the master. .
I have been a servant for so many years, and I know how sad it is to have to endure the humiliation. After becoming a master for the past few months, I have realized that the life of being a master is so enjoyable. If you want anything, you can just give it to me with one sentence. good.
So I don’t understand what exactly Mrs. Side is aggrieved about. Does she want all the love from His Highness and the position of the princess? But people can’t be too greedy. If you bow your head in front of the princess, don’t let her get angry again and embarrass you. Isn’t that good? ? "
Qingyun really doesn't understand how difficult it is to get all this, so naturally she should cherish it, but why doesn't Madam seem to be satisfied no matter what?
"Thank you for what you said to me, but you and I are different. You don't understand what happened to me in the past. You don't even understand what the relationship between me and His Highness was like in the past. It will never be just a few words. It can be explained clearly.
Although the princess and I are both princesses, princesses and princesses are different. You won’t understand. You don’t need to tell me this anymore. Just live your own life. "
Chu Xin smiled bitterly and shook her head. In the past, she would have had many things to say to refute, but now she didn't want to say anything. Her heart had become silent, and she really had nothing to say.
"The last time the princess punished you, she slapped you in front of me. Listening to the sound of those slaps, I shivered with fear. I knew that I was sorry for you. It was because of being the princess's accomplice that you received so many slaps.
That’s why I feel really guilty and want to come here and tell you this. I used to be just a servant who served others and didn’t understand anything. But I know that the owner of the palace is the princess. If the princess doesn’t like you, you won’t have a good life. You have passed, so why not bow your head to the princess? "
Qingyun still didn't understand, and still said reluctantly. It was precisely because he saw Chu Xin beaten so badly in front of him last time that he always remembered it and always felt guilty.
She knew that the princess didn't like her, so no matter how guilty she was, she didn't dare to come over and say sorry, but Naihe couldn't help but feel guilty. Seeing that the princess's attitude seemed to be softening, she hurried over to say sorry.
I just wanted to give advice, but it seemed like my words didn't make sense.
"I don't blame you. I never blame you. You don't have to feel sorry."
No matter how excited Qingyun was and how many words she said, Chu Xin still reacted indifferently.
After my heart was hurt that day, I felt that nothing mattered anymore, even if I got so many slaps last time, it didn't matter. Looking at Qingyun like this, I actually felt that it was unnecessary.
The person who really wanted to hit her was the princess, it didn't matter, nothing else mattered.
"I understand what you mean. If you have nothing else to say, please go back. I feel very tired and want to rest alone for a while."
Chu Xin had already begun to catch up with the guests. She really felt that she had no energy left in her body, could not speak, and did not want to speak.
After seeing Qingyun leave, his whole body suddenly softened, he pushed the tea cup down and lay helplessly on the table.
What is it? What is all this?
What is my status in this house? The princess once said that there is only one position for the princess, and there can be many other concubines. It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less.
When I asked for marriage, I had doubts in my heart, but I suppressed it deliberately at first. I didn't want to think about this flawless thing again. But now I can't think about it. As soon as I close my eyes, I feel that all these things are connected. It all seems strange.
What is she? What is she?
He knew that this was the most important moment, but it had nothing to do with him. If there was any important matter, Xiao Zhi would naturally make it clear to Chu Yi, and the only one who could help would be Chu Yi.
Forget, it has nothing to do with her anyway.
