Since the last time I saw Chu Yi, Chu Xin has completely gained a reputation, and her clothes have become much more exquisite and gorgeous, and she is no longer a slave.
She didn't know how happy she felt in her heart. First, she thought that it was so easy for Chu Yi to pass the test, and now she didn't need to go back to the palace and could just follow Xiao Zhi directly.
In this way, no one will disturb their relationship, and their relationship will become deeper and deeper.
On this day, Xiao Zhi just came out of His Majesty's room with a solemn expression. The imperial doctor said that he probably didn't have much time left.
When I heard the news, I was stunned for a moment, and then I felt an indescribable feeling. Isn't it my own fault that I don't want to be like this now?
So what is the use of these cheap regrets and sympathy now?
After walking a few steps, he saw the people in the imperial garden and stopped.
"I didn't expect you to look good dressed up like this. The last time I saw you dressed up as a slave, it was inconspicuous at all. Now it seems no wonder you will please His Highness."
Chu Yi smiled and looked at the golden hairpin on Chu Xin's bun, feeling a little dazzling.
She was just a slave before, but now she dares to stand in front of her like this?
It is true that people's status is always changing from one moment to the next, and no one can predict what life will be like in the future.
Just like when you were a carefree princess in the Chu Kingdom, would you have thought that you would be like this after getting married?
Unexpected, how could you think of it?
"Thank you for the compliment, Princess."
Chuxin lowered his head shyly, slightly nervous.
I have to say that the princess seems to be quite kind. No matter last time or this time, she is not as jealous and fierce as the rumors say.
"You don't have to always lower your head in front of me, raise your head and let me take a closer look."
Chu Yi said softly.
Chu Xin raised her head shyly. In fact, her appearance would not be that of a charming lady, but she was more outstanding among palace maids.
I think that's why His Highness' eyes changed on me, right?
It can only be said that having a good appearance is indeed quite important. Is it not important to be able to fly on a branch and become a phoenix?
"It's indeed quite good. No wonder His Highness likes you so much."
Chu Yi reached out and pinched Chu Xin's chin, staring at her face carefully.
It is indeed very similar to Chu Xin, but his eyes are not good, and sometimes he turns around full of calculations. His temperament is not similar, and his demeanor when speaking is not that similar.
Chu Xin felt a little scared, and she didn't know why. She was always afraid to face Chu Yi. Maybe it was because of guilt, or maybe she always felt that she was not such a good person.
"Why did you enter the palace today?"
Hearing Xiao Zhi's voice, Chu Xin felt a little relieved. As long as His Highness is here, he will definitely protect him, so he has nothing to fear.
"I just wanted to go into the palace to accompany His Highness, but I didn't expect to see Chu Xin, so I wanted to talk to her and tell her to take good care of His Highness."
Chu Yi let go of her hand and looked at Xiao Zhi with a slight smile. She looked very gentle today, without the usual tendency to lose her temper.
"I think that since I have my original intention to be by my side, Your Highness, I am afraid that I will have no intention of returning to the palace, so I can only enter the palace by myself, so as not to let outsiders think that we are not getting along as husband and wife, but it will be a joke."
As Chu Yi said this, she stepped forward and took Xiao Zhi's arm. No matter what, she couldn't be like last time, when Xiao Zhi and Chu Xin were so close together that she became like an outsider.
You can only earn the dignity you deserve by yourself. If you are just being tough and angry, there is no point in it.
"You do have a heart."
Xiao Zhi's attitude toward Chu Yi actually improved, and he even reached out to hold her hand.
"I have a lot of things to deal with in the palace. It's not convenient for me to go back to the palace. I have to rely on you for a lot of things in the palace. It's really hard for you."
Xiao Zhi smiled hypocritically. No matter what, he needed a wife with a noble status who could handle the affairs of the house in an orderly manner.
What's more important is not to let people laugh at the discord between husband and wife. It's fine now.
"Your Highness?"
Chu Xin felt a little aggrieved by standing alone on the side. She didn't like this feeling, and she wanted to stand beside His Highness. It had been like this these days.
But now that the princess is here, he has become an outsider and can only stand on the sidelines. It would be great if the princess could enter the palace less often!
"Okay, if nothing happens, you can go back. There are still many things to deal with in the palace, so I won't accompany you."
Xiao Zhi let go of his hand and muttered a few words to Chu Yi casually, then took Chu Xin's hand and left.
"Your Highness only cares about making love with the princess, but he has forgotten about me. I am like an outsider!"
After returning to the study, Chu Xin pouted aggrievedly, feeling very unhappy.
Originally, she was the only one who could stay with His Highness in the palace these days, but as soon as the princess came, she had to leave. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
"You are not an outsider. If you were an outsider, why would I have to give you a status?"
Xiao Zhi looked at her and comforted her gently, "I never thought you were an outsider, but the princess is a princess after all, and I have to give her face in front of others, so do you understand?"
"Yes, I will understand of course."
Chuxin also knew that he couldn't make too much trouble, so he walked down the steps and immediately smiled again.
"Princess, I have long said that this slave is definitely not a gas-efficient lamp. Her coquettish posture just now is clearly a provocation!"
Sitting on the carriage returning to the palace, Yuexiang's face was solemn and angry.
"She is no longer a slave. She is now a serious lady, and she can be considered a mistress. If she hears what you said and whispers to His Highness, then my relationship with His Highness will be ruined. Is there going to be another stalemate?"
Chu Yi said sarcastically, of course she knew what Yuexiang said was right, but what if it was right?
"I just came back from the Kingdom of Chu, and the princess is so aggrieved and forbearing like this. I see how different the princess is now from before, and I can't help but feel a little emotional."
Yuexiang became distressed in an instant. Although she had always advised the princess to be generous and not care about it, when she really did it now, she only felt distressed.
"It's okay. I have the original intention to stay with her and take care of her. I feel relieved."
Chu Yi smiled slightly, just like Xiao Zhi's smile just now, it was so hypocritical and perfunctory.
Yuexiang could only sigh silently in her heart. Everyone must learn to grow up, learn to be wronged, and learn to tolerate their temper.
…
Chu Xincai took the medicine from the medicine garden to reduce the scars. It was indeed very effective. If you applied more powder, you wouldn't be able to see the scars on your face.
The situation in the harem has been relatively optimistic in recent days. No matter Ning Guiren or Roumei, everyone is extremely quiet.
The soft beauty is nothing, it feels like Ning Guiren has completely calmed down. Could it be that he was completely defeated this time? All the tricks that should be used have been used, what else can be done?
When I went back, I saw Jun Guiren looking worried.
"What's going on? Has something happened to Your Majesty again?"
Chu Xin asked, if Pure Noble is worried, it must be mostly because of Yuan Heng.
"Your Majesty will go to the palace in half a month, and you will take Imperial Physician Song with you. Your Majesty's body is too weak, and he has suffered a lot from hard work during this period, so he has to go to the palace to recuperate for a month."
The pure nobleman looked solemn. Your Majesty is going to the palace, and most of the affairs in the harem can only be handled by yourself. But more importantly, he is worried that there is no one around to take care of your Majesty.
Ning Gui is definitely not good enough, and soft and beautiful people are not good either. No matter who they are, they feel uneasy.
"It turns out that with Imperial Physician Song here, your noble lord can rest assured. But January will pass soon, and your Majesty will definitely come back safe and sound."
It turned out that Chu Xin felt a little relieved because of these things. No matter what happened, with Taiyi following him, nothing would happen.
"Forget it in the past. Now that I have the right to make the decision, I naturally have to make plans. Whether it's Ning Guiren or Roumei, I can't worry about anything."
Chun Guiren looked at Chu Xin as he spoke. It was already obvious what he meant.
"Xin'er, that's why I want you to go to the palace with Your Majesty and ask you to take care of Your Majesty. I don't trust anyone, but I am the only one who trusts you."
The noble man held Chu Xin's hand as he spoke, "Xin'er, didn't you say that you had met His Majesty several times when you were young? What's more, His Majesty is somewhat special to you. With you to take care of His Majesty, I It’s really reassuring.”
In fact, only the pure nobles know what she means by these words. If you want to seek help in the harem, it must be the closest person who is the most reliable.
Otherwise, Roumei is an example and can betray at any time.
"I will obey your noble nobleman's orders."
Chu Xin quickly agreed, "It's just that what I'm more worried about is that Your Majesty has gone to the palace. Then the affairs of the harem will all fall on the nobles. If Ninggui and Roumei have another relationship at that time..."
Chu Xin was not concerned about taking care of Yuan Heng in the palace together, but she was not worried about how the pure nobleman could be in the palace.
I always feel that Ning Guiren will never be a peaceful person, and it is inevitable that he will cause more troubles in the future.
"Now that I'm talking to you about His Majesty, why do you think of this again?"
Chun Guiren smiled helplessly, but couldn't help but be moved. It seemed that Chu Xin really cared about herself the most at all times!
"I am just worried about you, and I have a gut feeling that your Majesty Ning will never settle down like this. If you do something while His Majesty is not in the harem, I am afraid that you will be harmed!"
Chu Xin expressed her thoughts openly. In her impression, the harem was never a good place, and there were always endless fights and calculations.
If you are not careful, you may fall into someone else's trap.
"Don't worry about things in the palace. Most of the people in the harem are now in charge of me, and most of the people in the harem only listen to me. As for Ning Guiren, he is no longer what he used to be."
The noble man smiled and shook his head, not caring.
In fact, many times she doesn't really have to do anything, because His Majesty will make his attitude clear.
After the last incident, His Majesty became extremely indifferent towards the two of them and stopped seeing each other. This is the best attitude.
So, your Majesty is such a good person. As long as he is not full of calculations and intrigues, he will repay the sincerity he has given.
"Well, since it is the noble man's order, then I will obey it. I only hope that the noble man can be safe and happy in the palace."
Chu Xin was still a little reluctant to let go. She had been with Chungui for so long and suddenly said she wanted to separate. She really felt a little lost.
As for Yuan Heng, they don't think it's a big deal. Anyway, with the Song imperial physician here, there's probably no need to worry.
