"I don't understand what His Majesty said, and I don't understand what I did wrong to make His Majesty treat me so coldly. I was the only one who could stay with His Majesty in the past!"
Ning Guiren said aggrievedly that she didn't want to make things like this, but it had been a long time since she had seen His Majesty, not to mention the appearance of this beautiful man made her feel uncomfortable.
"Okay," Yuan Heng didn't want to hear any more, "It's already hard for you to deal with the affairs of the harem with the noble lady. I have a beautiful lady here to serve you, so you don't have to come here anymore."
Yuan Heng's words made it clear that he was not a person who liked to talk to others. He didn't like Ning Guiren now because he just didn't want to see her again.
Maybe he has a soft heart. As long as those who give to him will definitely be rewarded, but those who don't like him really don't want to see him again.
"His Majesty?"
Ning Guiren looked at him in disbelief. He did not expect to receive such indifferent words. No matter what happened in the past, Yuan Heng would never treat him like this.
"Back off!"
Yuan Heng forced himself to say these two words coldly. He really didn't want to waste any more words with Ning Guiren. At this moment, he felt so uncomfortable that he didn't want to say another word.
"Sister Ning Guiren, please step back first. Your Majesty is feeling unwell at the moment and needs a good rest. It is better not to bring these harem matters to His Majesty!"
Roumei had been sitting on the edge, patting Yuan Heng on the back. The two seemed very close, but Ning Guiren, who was standing on the edge, looked like a complete outsider.
In the past, she and His Majesty were so close, and there would only be her own place around her, but now there are one more annoying person after another!
"My lord, please don't be sad. Your Majesty is really just in poor health. It won't be too late for you to pay your respects when your health gets better."
On the way back, Jinxiu held her hand and comforted her softly as she walked. In fact, what His Majesty just said was indeed quite hurtful.
"Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago. In the past, it was only because no one competed with me that I could have my own place. Now they all want to stand out and compete with me. It will inevitably lead to the troubles it has today."
Ning Guiren has been holding on to his emotions for almost several months, and has even silently accepted this fact.
Although His Majesty's harem is small, there are still several concubines. He is never the only one. Being with His Majesty for two years in the past is considered a blessing, right?
"Sister Ning Guiren!"
In a daze, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind. When she turned around, she saw that it was Chunguiren.
"Ning Guiren, could you just go to pay your respects to His Majesty?"
Chun Guiren walked over with a smile. She was very familiar with this road. Looking at the direction Ning Guiren was walking, she knew that she had just come out of the Corner Palace. Looking at her appearance, she knew that there must be something unhappy just now.
"What does it have to do with you!"
Ning Guiren's face quickly turned cold. Forget about being a pure noble, what happened to that soft and beautiful person?
Why do people who were both peaceful in the past want to compete for favor now? Why can't they just be as silent as before? Do they have to compete with themselves?
"I just want to advise Ning Guiren not to worry about these things. It is the duty of the concubines in the harem to accompany His Highness and serve him.
His Majesty is worried that we have to manage the affairs of the harem and serve him, so he allows Roumei to stay by his side so that the two of us can handle the affairs of the harem with peace of mind. Mr. Ning cannot let down your majesty's painstaking efforts! "
Pure noble people don't mind Ning Guiren's cold eyes at all. Haven't they already completely lost their skin? What does this mean?
Chu Xin came out with Chun Guiren today and was standing beside her, holding her arm.
Even though he was looking down at the ground, he could still feel Ning Guiren's eyes on him.
"You do have a good dog by your side!"
Ning Guiren gritted his teeth and said, he couldn't believe that a person who was so useless in the past had so many thoughts now. He must have been instigated by this heart!
I just regret that I was too soft-hearted in the past. If I had killed this bitch directly, there wouldn't be so many things left, right?
"Ning Guiren's words are really unpleasant," Chun Guiren's smile quickly disappeared, "Now you and I are equals. I manage the affairs of the harem with you. The people around me are not something you can humiliate at will!"
It wouldn't matter if it were anything else, but Xin'er was the person she liked the most, and being humiliated like this by Ning Guiren in public made her lose face.
"I didn't expect you to like this slave so much. Well, I made a mistake and said the wrong thing. Please don't worry about it, noble man."
Ning Guiren suddenly smiled and reached out to touch the hair beside his ears.
In fact, what she said is quite right. Now she can't humiliate anyone she wants like before. One or two people have stolen the limelight, and things are different now!
"Actually, you don't have to argue with Ning Guiren for me. I understand her temperament. Being wronged is not a big deal at all."
When she went back, Chu Xin was really grateful. It was really good to be able to speak up for herself.
"You are mine. Humiliating you will naturally humiliate me. If I accept this humiliation in public, how will I behave in the future?"
The noble man smiled and patted Chu Xin's hand. In fact, this was not a big deal. His status was already on an equal footing, so he didn't have to endure the other party's verbal humiliation at all.
"My lord, there is the medicine garden ahead. I want to see Ayun."
It seems like I haven't been to the medicine garden for a long time. I miss the smell of medicine there, and I miss the weird Ayun even more.
"Go ahead."
When Chu Xin went there, the room was empty. It seemed that Ayun was preparing medicinal materials with Dr. Song at the moment. She randomly took out a medical book and looked through it. In fact, she almost remembered the contents.
During that time, she didn't want to talk to anyone in the medicine garden, so she always read books and read the contents over and over again.
These medicines can save lives, or they can kill.
But when will we have this opportunity?
"elder sister!"
Chu Xin was sitting on a chair reading a book. After looking for a long time, the door was suddenly pushed open. When she heard a clear voice, she knew that Ayun was back.
"Sister, I haven't been here for a long time. How are you doing these days?"
As soon as Ayun came in, she threw herself into Chu Xin's arms, her eyes almost turning red, she really missed her these days.
"The noble lady has to deal with many things in the harem, so I have to accompany her. Sometimes when she gets busy, I have to bring her tea and water, not to mention that she was bitten by a bee some time ago and I have to apply medicine for her."
Chu Xin comforted her softly. It wasn't that she didn't want to come, but she was really too busy. She had time today, so she came right away. She really missed this weird little girl!
"I know my sister is thinking about me, but she's just a little unhappy!"
Ayun bit her lip in grievance. The medicinal ingredients that had just been prepared were all full of medicinal smell. Chu Xin even smelled them hard. This was the smell in her memory.
"The scars on my sister's face are much better than before. They are not conspicuous at all!"
Ayun reached out to touch Chu Xin's face. In fact, except for some rough touches, it was really much better. It was no longer as scary as before, but there were some traces on it.
"This is all thanks to the medicine you prepared for me. I put it on my face every day. At first, I didn't have much hope. I didn't even dare to look in the mirror. But later, Lord Pure Comforted me, why? Xiang also comforted me, and gradually I really didn’t care anymore.”
In fact, Pure Noble is really very kind to me. Not to mention that she was willing to defend her just now. In private, some rewards are not that rare. She will comfort herself because of the things she cares about in her heart.
"I know that Chungui is a very good person, and I know that she will be very good to you, so I am willing to let you go to her side. Otherwise, how could I be willing to let you be wronged?"
Ayun raised her head, feeling a little proud.
Because she was the first person in the palace to know Chun Guiren and what a good master he was, so she felt that it would be good if Chu Xin could stay by her side to serve him!
"Well, you are really my good sister!"
Chu Xin smiled and rubbed Ayun's face.
…
"We are leaving tomorrow, and His Highness still hasn't come back?"
Chu Yi was a little reluctant to give up and a little resentful.
"If the princess misses His Highness, she might as well go to the palace right now. If she has anything to say to His Highness, she won't be able to see her for several months."
Yuexiang asked.
"Um."
Chu Yi nodded casually. Anyway, there is nothing going on in the house now. It would be good to talk to Xiao Xiao in the palace today. Anyway, their relationship has begun to slowly ease.
It's just that many times you have to deliberately restrain your temper. If it were in the past, I wouldn't have tolerated these grievances, but now there is nothing I can do. If I can't bear it, the quarrel will turn upside down.
Yuexiang hurried down and ordered people to prepare the carriage. Anyway, they didn't have to visit the queen to enter the palace now, so it wasn't a big hassle.
Chu Yi was very happy when she was sitting on the carriage. She could leave for Dachu soon and see her relatives soon!
It’s been almost three years since I’ve seen my mother and brother. I must have a good chat with them when I go back this time, and make up for all the things I haven’t said in the past three years.
When I arrived at the palace and was about to go to the study, I saw a palace maid coming out of the study. Standing at this angle, I could see her face.
Chu Yi's heart dropped instantly, and she stared at the palace maid in disbelief. How could she look so similar? Who is she?
"What happened to the princess?"
Yuexiang was originally following Chu Yi with her head lowered, watching her not leaving, wondering what was going on. She followed his gaze and saw that person. She was stunned for a moment. .
Chu Yi was the first to react. She came over and grabbed Yuexiang's hand and hurriedly hid around the corner. She didn't know why she was hiding.
Is it a shame, is it guilt, or is he afraid to face that face?
"princess?"
There was fear and panic in Yuexiang's tone. They all knew how that person died back then. Now that there is someone so similar, how could they not be afraid?
The moment I saw that face, I felt my heart suddenly stopped.
Horrible, really terrible!
"Don't talk, don't make a sound, don't let her find us!"
Chu Yi tried to stay calm, but her voice was trembling, and a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on her forehead.
She is also afraid.
The death of the master and servant gave her nightmares for so many days, but she finally recovered. Now that she saw that face again, she felt that all the nightmares were coming back to her.
Why?
Why was she reminded of such a terrible thing again?
Who is that person? Is it really her who is back?
Chu Yi suddenly turned around and covered her face, her whole body trembling slightly.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she suddenly felt so scared and afraid to face that person.
