"I knew it would happen one day! In the past, the noble lady looked silent and silent, but now she steals the show!"
Ning Gui was so angry that he almost cried. He didn't know why his mood was like this. He always became irritable and irritable over some inexplicable little things.
All this is Chunguiren's fault. Wasn't he always good when she didn't show up in the past? Aren’t they always praised by the palace people? But now all those compliments belong to pure noble people!
Is this fair?
"My lord, just listen to what I say to you. I'll leave everything to you these days. You'd better have a good rest. You're really too tired. My maid feels distressed just looking at you!"
Jinxiu knelt on the ground, crying and admonishing. The important thing now is not to fight for these things. The important thing is that the noble man should take good care of himself and stop making mistakes so impulsively.
"Is it true that the friendship I have been with His Majesty these past two years is fake? Your Majesty will not be so ruthless! Maybe I really just feel that the noble lady is too tired to deal with things, not to mention that pure noble lady, I don't dare to look at her. What are you arguing with the nobles for?"
"you shut up!"
Ning Guiren was not willing to listen at all. He had long been accustomed to being unique. How could he allow another woman to take a share of the pie?
Days passed like this day by day. Ever since the past cake incident, Yuan Heng had become much colder towards Ning Guiren. He ignored her requests to see her and always told her to go back and reflect.
I really like Chunguiren quite a bit, and I will usually reward him with any good things. I even go to Chunguiren's palace in person several times every month.
Chu Xin's life can be regarded as ordinary, and there is nothing to worry about every day. Every time Yuan Heng comes over, she and He Xianghou are outside the door. Sometimes she feels that it would be pretty good if her life is like this. .
It's just a pity that I can't forget what happened in the past.
Da Chu didn't want to go back anymore. After hearing the news about his mother's death, he felt no nostalgia for her. Hearing that Chu Shu was married, her life was considered happy, which was pretty good.
As for the place in Beiqi that I don't want to recall, whether it is Xiao Zhi or Chu Yi, they are all people who will only bring psychological shadow to themselves. Recalling everything in the palace, it is still like a nightmare. heart.
With nothing to do that day, Chu Xin went to the medicine garden and smiled lightly when he saw the little girl Ayun reading a book obediently.
"Sister is here!"
Seeing Chu Xin come in, Ayun raised her head and smiled at her. It has been almost two months, winter has long passed, and now the spring is warm and flowers are blooming, which is the time for everything to revive.
"These days I am busy serving noble people, and many things are not clear to me. Can you tell me about it?"
Chu Xin walked directly over and sat next to Ayun and asked, her face a little solemn when talking about this topic.
"What does sister want to know?"
Ayun asked curiously, was there anything worthy of her asking in person? It must not be an ordinary matter, right?
"Did something happen over there in Beiqi?"
When she mentioned this place, Chu Xin still looked a little unnatural. That place was given to her. The pain caused is really too much
When I first got married, I was full of expectations and felt that I should be able to ignore these obstacles. At that time, how could I have imagined that I would be where I am today?
In fact, maybe it was wrong from the beginning. A few days ago, she persuaded Pure Nobility not to be soft-hearted, but how did she do it? Wasn't it just her repeated soft-heartedness that led to the current result?
"I heard that His Majesty the Northern Qi Dynasty is ill, and many matters have been left to King Xiang to handle. That's probably the case."
Ayun thought for a while, this matter has been spread all over the world, it seems that His Majesty Northern Qi's illness is indeed quite serious.
"I see."
Chu Xin suddenly smiled and said that Xiao Zhi would never be what he seemed, right? Whether it was Qianqian's death or His Majesty Northern Qi's serious illness now, it was all related to him.
Look at what kind of people you have been in contact with, and what kind of people have you been sincere to?
"What does sister want to do by asking these questions?"
Ayun was a little worried. It didn't matter if others didn't know Chu Xin's identity, but she knew it clearly.
I stopped mentioning these things because I was afraid of mentioning my sister’s sadness. Now I asked why?
"Maybe I want to know something that I cared about before, but now that I know it, it doesn't matter anymore."
Chu Xin shook her head and didn't want to say anything else.
…
"His Highness has not been back for nearly a month. He was never like this before. Sometimes I wonder if I still have him as my husband."
It was still unusually cold here in Beiqi. Chu Yi was wearing a thick cloak. He had just been reading the account book for nearly half an hour and felt that his eyes were sore and painful.
At this moment, I was sitting and taking a rest while drinking hot tea. I really felt that it was so boring to live day by day. I was facing those women in the backyard every day, and it seemed very annoying to me.
No one knew what was going on in the palace. They only knew that His Majesty was seriously ill and there was no news about what he had become. Many times he entered the palace and wanted to pay his respects, but he was blocked all the time.
Sometimes even she didn't know what Xiao Zhi wanted to do. Could it be that she already had the intention to replace him?
"The princess is talking about it again," Yuexiang stood behind her and rubbed her shoulders, "The days really fly by. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost three years. I think about when the princess first came here, and now. It’s really different at all.”
"Tell me, why am I different?"
Chu Yi closed her eyes and enjoyed the tranquility of this moment. In fact, she had been living really peacefully for more than a month. She didn't even think about embarrassing those who didn't like her.
"The princess's heart has become calmer. This is the biggest change."
Yuexiang smiled and said, let's just say that the princess will change. As people grow up slowly, their thoughts will change.
"No one is around me anymore. No matter how much I have to say, I don't want to say it anymore. He hasn't been back to my hometown once for more than a month. To put it nicely, it's because he has to help His Majesty handle government affairs and he can't keep silent. To say it, it's ugly. Isn’t it just that he doesn’t want to come back? There is no one in the palace that he misses.”
Chu Yi smiled mockingly, and suddenly thought of something.
"Do you think that if Chu Xin was still here, would he be willing not to come back for so long? Will he come back to see her?"
"The princess is thinking wildly again. This is a problem that won't exist because Chu Xin is already dead."
Yuexiang said lightly, the person is dead, no matter how many possibilities there are, they have become zero, there is really no need to continue to imagine.
"His Highness led people to search for her for so long, but her body could not be found. Recently, I have been having nightmares and I feel a little uncomfortable."
Chu Yi closed her eyes and never opened them. She still couldn't explain what she felt at this moment.
In fact, if we really talk about it, she and Chu Xin are also biological sisters who are related by blood.
It seems that everything is slowly forgotten after death, and those grievances that once seemed heavier than the sky will slowly dissipate.
"When I was here, I always felt displeased no matter how I looked at her. Now that I'm gone, I feel that my life is so boring. I also feel that even facing her is better than looking at those annoying women."
Yuexiang didn't speak, but carefully massaged Chu Yi's shoulders. In fact, these were nothing at all. When time goes by, you will know what is most important.
"Now His Highness is helping His Majesty handle all things. At first, the ministers were not happy, but now no one will gossip. What does this mean? Does the princess understand?"
"It just means that the ministers have accepted him." Chu Yi suddenly opened his eyes, "I hope he can climb higher. When his position is higher, I can follow him. If I only become a princess If so, it’s really aggrieved!”
After finishing speaking, Chu Yi suddenly smiled.
"Why didn't Mrs. Hui come over to say hello today? Forget about others, she can't be left behind even for a day!"
Chu Yi rubbed her eyes, and the sore feeling finally got better. Just looking at those account books every day made her eyes hurt.
Without Xiao Zhi, he had to personally deal with everything in the house and deal with various large and small affairs. Sometimes he was really tired and exhausted.
"I said I was sick. I wanted to tell the princess just now, but I was delayed."
Yuexiang thought for a while and answered truthfully.
"Is she really sick? Or is she fake? I have to go and see for myself what she is like."
Chu Yi smiled disdainfully, forget about the other ladies, but she really didn't like Shen Minghui no matter how she looked at him.
Anyway, now that Xiao Zhi is not in the house, she is the only owner of this Fuli!
"Ahem!"
There was a charcoal fire in Shen Minghui's room, which was relatively warm, but she still felt dizzy and had a terrible headache. It hurt so much that she couldn't even open her eyes.
Originally, I wanted to go and pay my respects today, but I was really too sick to get up, so I could only ask the people around me to say goodbye to the princess.
I had just taken the medicine and was about to take a nap, but when I heard the noise outside, I suddenly had a bad premonition.
"I heard that Mrs. Hui was sick, so I came to take a look in person and brought some of the best medicinal materials. If the illness is really serious, just boil these medicinal materials and drink them."
People outside did not dare to stop her, so Chu Yi came in directly. As soon as she came in and smelled the smell of medicine in the room, she felt it was a bit pungent. It seemed that she was indeed seriously ill.
Chu Yi said as she sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch Shen Minghui's forehead. It was indeed quite hot.
"princess?"
Shen Minghui opened her eyes hard. It wasn't that she was pretending to be sick today and didn't want to go to greet her. In fact, she was really ill.
The weather has been quite cold these past few days, and it is easy to catch a cold and catch wind-chill. Gradually it becomes more and more serious, and the whole person is feeling dizzy and feverish.
"No need to say anything. It seems that what you said is true. Or maybe I blamed you wrongly!"
Chu Yi smiled and took back her hand. Facing such a weak patient, she had no intention of embarrassment. She gradually felt that everything here was becoming boring.
In fact, it doesn't make sense for her to embarrass the women in the backyard. Even if it can relieve her anger for a while, the real problem is still not solved.
Xiao Zhi's heartless and indifferent face that day still lingers in my mind, and every time I think of his disgusted eyes, I feel sour in my heart.
It turns out that Xiao Zhi really has no feelings for him, and can even be so ruthless and indifferent.
In the past, maybe there was still some luck in my heart, and I felt that the last step had not yet been reached, the real face had not been torn off, and there would be room for change in everything, right?
But after that day, all her hopes were shattered, and she could no longer deceive herself, because it was really boring.
In fact, she should have known since she was a child that there would be no feelings between them at all. Just like Xiao Zhi said, she was so aloof and disdainful of others.
But so what, she is a noble princess. Isn't it natural to look down on those slaves?
Although they both despise each other, if they hate each other, it’s better not to force any feelings.
