After the trouble last time, Xiao Zhi never came back and stayed in the palace.
Once it was more important for him to deal with his affairs, he really didn't want to reply and face Chu Yi. He really had enough of this woman's torture!
If it were Chu Xin, she would never be like this. Maybe it would be easier to add countless beautiful filters to the other party when she is gone.
I always feel that if she was still here, things wouldn't be so ugly. She was generous and elegant, and she would never look like such a lunatic no matter when.
"Brother, is your health feeling better today?"
Xiao Qi still felt dizzy just after taking the medicine, and he didn't know what was going on.
At first he didn't think it was a big deal, but then he had a headache and couldn't even read clearly, and government affairs were delayed. Fortunately, Xiao Zhi was able to help him.
As soon as Xiao Zhi came in, he sat by the bed and held the medicine bowl. He looked at it and saw that the medicine bowl was empty, and then he felt relieved.
"I wonder if the imperial doctor has found out the reason. I wonder if these calming medicines prescribed are of some use?"
Xiao Zhi put the bowl back a little irritably, as if blaming the incompetence of these imperial doctors.
Xiao Qi wanted to say something, but a headache hit him and he had to close his eyes.
It was just a slight headache at first, but now it is getting more and more serious. It hurts so much that I don't even want to open my eyes, and I can't even see clearly.
Xiao Zhi smiled slightly, seeing that the incense he prepared was indeed quite useful. Has the day finally come?
"Brother, don't worry. You were the only one who was kind to me when I came back from Dachu. Now it's time for me to repay you. When you are sick, I will help you handle all the government affairs and wait for you. Recover.”
Xiao Zhi said respectfully, but his expression was indeed a bit disdainful. In fact, his imperial brother was really very good. No wonder his father liked him so much back then.
But the better he is, the more he wants to pull such a good person down from the high clouds, so that he can feel relieved and give himself a little comfort in his dark life.
In fact, he always remembered those days in the palace when he was a child. He was used to the condescending attitude of those people, and his heart was no longer like a normal person.
When Xiao Zhi went out, he saw the queen, the former crown princess Xu Miaorong, and nodded slightly to her.
Xu Miaorong looked worried. Looking at Xiao Zhi's back, she always felt that what happened during this period was very strange, but she couldn't explain why it was strange. She could only hope that His Majesty would get well soon.
In fact, she had also heard about things like the palace, and she liked the concubine Chu Xin quite a lot. It was a pity that what happened back then meant that she lost someone with whom she could talk well.
At this moment, in the palace, Chu Xin was sitting high above, while the ladies in the backyard were copying Buddhist scriptures.
They copied it over and over again, not knowing exactly what they had written. It had been several hours, but the princess never allowed them to stop. She said she was praying for His Majesty. In fact, she was deliberately torturing them in an elegant way!
"Copying Buddhist scriptures is to pray for His Majesty. I want to see who dares to be lazy? Anyone who dares to be lazy disrespects His Majesty and does not sincerely hope that His Majesty will get better. Whoever dares to be so bold will be dragged down and beaten to death on the spot!"
Chu Yi smiled as she spoke. Yuexiang was quite right. There are thousands of ways to torture people, and the methods should indeed be more advanced, at least there is nothing wrong with it on the surface.
Copying Buddhist scriptures is a pretty good trick. I kept copying them over and over again. If she didn't tell me to stop, I wouldn't be allowed to stop. Then I would have to keep writing!
I just sat on top and watched to see who dared to stop. That would be disrespectful to His Majesty, and then I would have a legitimate reason to punish people.
Shen Minghui's hand was very sore from writing. She had copied it nearly thirty times, but the princess still didn't allow her to stop. It was really frustrating!
Xiao Qing has always been afraid of Chu Yi, not to mention seeing with her own eyes how she tortured the late Mrs. Xin'er, which has already left a shadow in her heart.
It can only be said that fortunately, there was a Shen Minghui who made Chu Yi even more annoying, so that her attention would not be on herself.
Her hands were shaking slightly. Although they were sore and painful, she still didn't dare to stop for fear of being noticed by Chu Yi.
"Princess, please drink some tea."
Yuexiang brought tea over. In fact, she was a little relieved, because the princess was finally growing up.
I originally thought that after the events last time, I would be in a state of despair, but I didn't expect that I would treat it like nothing happened again. His Highness has not come back these days, and the princess has never asked.
In fact, this is a good start. It is meaningless to dwell on those feelings, because His Highness cannot have only one woman. No matter how much trouble the princess makes, this is impossible.
Since it is an impossible thing, it is better not to have any illusions. The former Chu Xin will be a good example.
"Isn't Mrs. Hui always the favorite of His Highness? His Highness always says that you are extremely talented, proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and your handwriting is also extremely beautiful.
Why can't you write such beautiful words in front of me now? I see that the Buddhist scriptures you copied are getting more and more sloppy. What’s wrong? Do you not want to write nice words in front of me, or do you not want to sincerely pray for His Majesty? "
Chu Yi took a sip of tea. Apart from hating Chu Xin before, the one she hated most now was Shen Minghui.
This woman is quite inexplicable. She is obviously just a chess piece sent to make friends, but she really takes herself seriously. She still dares to have her own temper and put on her own airs many times.
She is really even more confused about her identity than Chu Xin. Chu Xin is still her biological sister after all. Who is this Shen Minghui?
"How dare I be disrespectful to Your Majesty?" Shen Minghui quickly defended herself, "I would like to ask Princess to be more careful. Our sisters have copied it many times, and our hands are really sore. Please forgive me, Princess, and let us rest for a while." Write?"
In fact, Shen Minghui has restrained his temper, and no longer deliberately provokes Chu Yi like he did at the beginning. Instead, he is mostly respectful.
She also figured out that since she could only stay in the palace and couldn't get out, she had to make her life easier.
The princess has a pampered temperament, so she can only give in a little.
"But if you stop, doesn't it mean that you are disrespectful to His Majesty? Since you are copying Buddhist scriptures to pray for Your Majesty, you cannot interrupt and continue writing!"
Chu Yi still had no intention of letting them go. She had never been a soft-hearted person. Even though she had been soft-hearted towards Chu, she still decided to send her to die!
Even if this is true for sisters who are related by blood, why should we be soft-hearted towards these side wives? I just feel that their existence is such an eyesore!
Everyone can only grit their teeth and continue to persevere. If they don't continue writing, they will be labeled disrespectful to His Majesty. No one can bear this responsibility!
"Today's princess did a very good job and was able to treat them obediently. This is only right!"
They copied all the afternoon, and Chu Yi sat above them and took a look. They were not allowed to go back until after three hours in the afternoon.
"Seeing the people who used to show off their power in front of me could only grit their teeth and lower their heads, Zi Cai really felt relieved! Chu Xin was like this in the past, and Shen Minghui is like this now. Both of them need to learn a lesson. Only then did I realize that I was bowing my head!”
Chu Yi was sitting in front of the dressing table. Yuexiang took off the hairpins from her hair one by one and combed her long hair with a comb.
"I always had nightmares at first, but as time went by, I stopped having nightmares. Instead, I dreamed about the time when I was in Chu Palace, about the first time I saw Chu Xin."
Chu Yi looked at herself in the bronze mirror with deep eyes. In fact, her life now was not happy, so she would always recall the happiest time intentionally or unintentionally.
The happiest thing was when I was a child. At that time, it seemed that all the tragedies had not begun. At that time, my mother was still the most favored concubine, and I was my father's favorite princess.
Naturally, she grew up being pampered and had everything she wanted. She was said to have a spoiled temper, but who would dare to disobey her?
"At that time, I thought how could there be such a stupid person? She believed whatever I said. I gave her a basket of charcoal fire, but she accepted it so boldly. Then she learned the lesson, right?"
Chu Yi laughed while talking, "Actually, I should also learn a lesson, and I shouldn't continue to be stupid, right?"
Chu Yi was talking to herself. Yuexiang didn't speak, but concentrated on combing her hair.
In fact, people will grow up, and Chu Yi will eventually understand what is most important.
…
"After using the ointment prepared by Xin'er in the past few days, your face seems to be whiter and firmer!"
When they woke up early this morning, Chu Xin and He Xiang stood on both sides and dressed up carefully for the noble lady.
After hearing these words, Chun Guiren reached out and touched his face. He could indeed feel the change, and the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened.
It seems that keeping Chu Xin by your side is really useful. This girl is really smart and has many weird and new ideas.
"When I ask about it when I have nothing to do on weekdays, I say that you are reading in your room. You are really a studious girl. You should have learned the method of covering pearls with fluorescent powder from books, right?"
The pure nobleman smiled and said, the idea of the luminous pearl hairpin is really interesting. It is precisely because of this that we can attract His Majesty, and then we can slowly get along with him.
"What the noble man said is that there is a golden house in the book. It is always right to read more books. What's more, I have lived in the medicine garden for so long. Naturally, I have heard and seen, and I know which medicinal materials have what effects. In addition, I read the knowledge in the book and slowly try to mix it myself, and I can get what I want!"
It was still dark, and the room was lit with candles. Under the light of the candles, Chu Xin's eyes were very bright.
Reading is indeed very self-cultivation. At first, her heart was always restless and she could not help but recall those disturbing things.
But later on, after reading the book, I became addicted to the knowledge in the book, and slowly my whole heart began to calm down.
What's more, Ah Yun would regularly send her ointment to lighten the scars on her face. She also wanted to read a book and try to make some. Although the scars could not be completely removed, she could make them lighter if they could.
"What a smart girl!"
The pure nobleman is not stingy with his praise. He really likes Chu Xin no matter how he looks at her.
