So Chu Yi sent Yuexiang over to teach her well. You should learn the rules of a noble concubine instead of always acting like a slave like before, which would make people laugh.
As for her original intention, she could only accept it with an open mind. After all, she really didn't know how to do it. Many times when she put on these gorgeous imperial concubine clothes, she always felt that she didn't have the confidence to stand up.
In fact, this is where she feels most inferior, because compared to others, she really has nothing. She is really just a slave and has never seen anything good.
Most of the time I was holding on, but when faced with other people's sarcastic and sarcastic looks, I felt extremely angry after returning home.
I kept smashing teacups and various things, but after finishing the work, there was still nothing I could do. Who wants everyone to be a wealthy lady?
Who allowed people to be pampered since childhood and see all the good things?
Who allows himself to be just a slave and has never seen anything? He has lost from the beginning!
"The imperial concubine should be clear about her current identity. She is no longer the tea-server and water-server in the past. She should not always act like she was a slave in the past. Otherwise, she may not be able to afford her current clothes, and it will really embarrass His Majesty and the Queen! "
Yuexiang was merciless and sarcastic as soon as she came in. She was now the most trusted person around the queen. She had some status in speaking in the palace, not to mention that she had personally followed the queen's order to teach the noble concubine the rules.
Chu Xin bit her lip hard, trying to resist the urge to talk back. No matter how hard she tried, she was now a royal concubine, and she was no longer the slave she once was who could be beaten and scolded at will.
This Yuexiang is just relying on herself to be the queen, and it is really too much for people around her to yell at her.
But on the other hand, she also wanted to learn the rules and behave like a master, but she also disliked her past.
Not only do you dislike it, but whenever others mention it intentionally or unintentionally, you will also feel inferior. That is the most shameful existence.
"My dear concubine, there is no need to feel unconvinced. If you really do well, the queen doesn't need to send me to teach you the rules. You should be able to argue in front of everyone!"
Yuexiang raised her head high and sarcastically shouted. What if the other party is sealed as a concubine?
His mistress is a queen, and she is still a head taller than the concubine.
"Yes, I naturally understand. You don't need to say more about what you want to teach, I will naturally learn it well!"
Chu Xin bit her lip hard, feeling a little uncomfortable. It was too much to say, and it was a bit unpleasant to hear, but there was no way. The rules must be learned carefully.
In fact, I feel ashamed in my heart. After all, I am now a master, but I can no longer behave like a slave like before.
Yuexiang was indeed teaching her the rules attentively, but from time to time she would get weird and say some sarcastic words. Many times the movements she was taught were really difficult. If she couldn't do them well, she would hold the board and either hit her here or hit her with it. Give it a tap there.
In the beginning, I felt that many places on my body were red and swollen, and I could feel it. It was probably the people sent by the queen who were deliberately trying to embarrass me, but I had no choice but to grit my teeth and endure it.
"The imperial concubine's attitude towards learning is indeed very correct. It can be seen that she wants to learn this rule well. The slave is relieved. The imperial concubine who taught me today is only average. After the slave leaves, the imperial concubine must The key is to practice more. There is no other technique to these rules. Practice them day by day, time and time again. If you practice more, you will naturally get used to them. Do you understand?"
The recitation that should be practiced today was finally finished. Yuexiang looked at Chu Xin, as if she could not stand up, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
What I practiced today were the most torturous rules, not to mention that I deliberately made Chu Xin do the most painful postures, so I must be extremely tired.
But what does this mean? Is it so easy to be a master?
If you don't get punished, why do you want to be this noble concubine?
"Miss Yuexiang has made it clear that she is embarrassing the queen. Even the slaves watching from the side feel wronged. The queen is now a noble concubine. She can suppress her because of her status. Why should she be angry with her?"
After Yuexiang left, Chuxin really couldn't stand anymore. He collapsed on the ground and felt that his legs were so sore and painful, and his knees were in terrible pain.
Seeing her fall to the ground, Ziyun, who was serving her closely, hurriedly came over to help her up, helped her sit down in a chair next to her, then knelt on the ground and rubbed her knees and calves with a distressed look on her face.
"You don't understand. Although I am a noble concubine now, I have nothing. I only rely on His Majesty's preference. What's more, they don't like me in the first place. Especially the queen taught me that the rules should be followed. I can only learn the rules well. Only then can we shut them up."
Chu Xin sighed, a little helpless, who let his original origin be just a slave?
It would be great if she could be a noble princess like the queen. Then when would she be so angry?
Just sometimes. Seeing the way the queen looked at me, I was really flustered. How could there be such deep resentment?
As a queen, she was supposed to tolerate so many concubines in the harem. Could it be that she found out on the first day? It's simply unreasonable.
"My queen has really suffered."
Ziyun Tianxin's massage of the red knee was really distressing. No matter what, now that she has been named a noble concubine, she can't be beaten and scolded as casually as before, right?
"Yuexiang is the person next to the queen, and every move represents the queen's wishes. Why do you think I have to tolerate him? Do you think it's Yuexiang who wants to embarrass me? It's the queen who wants to embarrass me!"
Chu Xin sniffed hard. It seemed that what happened that day had offended the queen too much. It seemed that she was really and completely hated.
But what does it have to do with her? It is the imperial edict your Majesty wants to write to make you your concubine. It is the love your Majesty gives you.
If the queen can't get it, then she just can't get it. It's useless no matter how hard she blames herself.
"My servant feels that the Queen is not a generous person. I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the harem in the future."
When Ziyun was in the palace, she had never heard of being called a princess, and she was jealous and arrogant. Now that she is a queen, she still doesn't seem to have changed at all. No wonder His Majesty doesn't like her.
In the next few days, Yuexiang came over every day, and used the most severe attitude to reprimand Chu Xin every day. But Chu Xin gritted his teeth and endured every time, and he could only endure it.
I sincerely want to learn all the rules and don't want to suffer the contemptuous looks of others anymore.
I also want to learn how to be a noble concubine, how to be a master, I want to get rid of everything in the past, I want to forget my previous identity.
Therefore, she is also most taboo about the people she serves mentioning recharging money in front of her. If anyone dares to mention it, they will definitely be pulled down and beaten up.
After all, I still don't have the confidence in my heart. I feel that those things in the past are too embarrassing, so I never want to hear them. Every time I hear these things, I always get angry for no reason.
Chu Yi managed the harem and was well-informed, so she naturally knew what kind of virtue Chu Xin was in private. When she heard this, she just smiled disdainfully.
What was your origin? Do you really think everyone doesn’t know? Do you think it's enough to cover your ears and steal the bell like this?
Chu Yi was pruning a pot of flowers at the moment. The scissors in his hand were all made of pure gold. They flashed under the candlelight. He saw that the shed flowers had been pruned to a pleasing look.
Aren't these flowers just like the women in the harem? Those who are obedient and pleasing to the eye will keep them, and those who are disobedient will naturally have to be cut off.
And it must be reduced without mercy, and you must not be soft-hearted, so as not to lead more people to harm and become a greater disaster.
"It seems that this is her weakness. No matter how hard she pretends to be calm, this is always a hurdle that she can't get over. People under her identity are like this. He is like this, and so is Chu Xin. No Are they all like this?"
Chu Yi's hand holding the scissors suddenly stopped. When Chu Xin was mentioned, there was always a different feeling in her heart.
I can't tell if it's because of my throat or guilt, but I always feel a little baffled. In addition, I think that the things she gave to me are still well placed, and I always feel that they will be useful one day in the future.
"The queen is talking about those people with low status who want to climb up as soon as they are full of energy. However, the queen is above the clouds as soon as she is born. This is something they will never be able to achieve in their lifetime. This is the biggest gap."
Yuexiang watched Chu Yi grow up, and she really treated her like a treasure she held in the palm of her hand.
She used to be a noble princess when she was in Chu State. Now she is the queen and the master of the harem. Her noble status is the confidence of Chu Yi, who can live more comfortably than any other woman.
"Yuexiang, when do you think His Majesty will get tired of your original intention? Do you need to find a substitute who is more similar to her?"
Chu Yi put down the scissors boredly, held her chin with her hands, and muttered to herself. She was also thinking about whether to do this, but if she found a more similar substitute, wouldn't she still become her own enemy?
I'm afraid it will still be more troublesome.
"I think it's better to let go of my original intention. No matter what, I can't make any trouble in the future as a slave. If I find another woman, I'm afraid I won't be able to control it. It's better to keep my original intention."
Yuexiang thought about it again and again, but rejected the idea. In recent days, I went to teach her new rules, and I saw that she was originally a slave, and she didn't dare to act like a noble concubine in front of him.
It is indeed easy to control, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Chu Yi nodded in agreement.
"It has been so long since the death of the late Emperor. All the things that should be done have been done, and everything has gradually returned to calm. But why does Your Majesty still look so busy? How come you haven't even been here?"
Chu Yi looked out the window and asked in a low voice. She was already used to the life in this palace. Looking out the window was completely different from the palace. She had gradually gotten used to it. Why didn't Xiao Zhi come here once?
"Why haven't you given up yet, Queen?"
Yuexiang felt distressed and helpless at the same time. She originally thought that after going through so much, she should have figured it out, but why did she start to feel sad again in the dead of night?
"Don't misunderstand me. This is not what I have ever thought about. Since His Majesty is so busy and can't take care of me, then he shouldn't know what I do, right?"
Chu Yi blinked, looking a little unnatural, and quickly denied it. In fact, only she knew that it meant this.
This is a very strange feeling. It's like taking the wrong path, but you can only go as far as possible. There is no room for turning back. Now that you have reached this position, how can you turn back?
In the next few days, Yuexiang still went to Chuxin to teach her the rules, but her tone was still sharp and mean, and she was still deliberately embarrassing.
But what I didn't expect was that Chu Xin was able to endure it all. Even though the palms of his hands and knees were all red and swollen, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
It’s not for anything else, just to win publicity, to get rid of her previous identity, to look like a noble concubine.
She hates others talking about her former identity, but if she wants others not to say anything, she has to do it herself and completely get rid of her status as a slave.
On this day, after learning the rules and Yuexiang went back to resume her life, Chuxin finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the pain in her knees was really unbearable.
Ziyun fell to the ground and applied medicine to him. He saw that his knees were red and swollen, and he was really suffering a lot.
"Aunt Yuexiang obviously made things difficult on purpose, why did the empress endure it so hard?"
Ziyun said distressedly.
Even when she stood on the sidelines and watched, she felt it was a bit much.
"I don't know if I'm deliberately making things difficult, but it's pretty good." Chu Xin whispered, and when she said the last sentence, she smiled slightly.
Now she is dressed in gorgeous clothes and gold and silver, and she doesn't look like a slave at all.
The pampering he has been doing in recent days has finally given him a bit of nobility. As she spoke, she acted like a royal concubine.
On the one hand, I am willing to learn the rules and think that it would be good to work harder. On the other hand, I naturally have other intentions.
"Empress, what does this mean?" Ziyun asked doubtfully. The next second I heard a eunuch shouting for His Majesty's arrival outside, and I quickly understood what the Empress meant.
"What's wrong with you? Why did your knee suffer such a serious injury? Who dares to hurt you now!"
Originally, he was expressionless all the way, but as soon as he came in, he saw the injury on Chu Xin's knee, and his expression immediately changed.
Chuxin quickly asked Ziyun to finish taking the medicine and go down. He arranged his dress to cover his injured knee. It was obvious that he didn't want to say more.
But the more he looked like this, the more Xiao Zhi kept asking.
"What's wrong with talking? Who bullied you again? I can make the decision for you. Don't keep silent all the time."
This is what Xiao Zhi wanted to say to someone a long time ago. He had never said it before, but now he said it so easily to his original intention.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. These are all what I should do. I just asked Aunt Yuexiang who is beside the queen to teach me the rules. The rules are a bit difficult. I am too stupid to learn them, so it turned into this. It looks like it’s actually nothing.”
Chu Xin leaned in Xiao Zhi's arms as she spoke. As the days passed, she became more and more dependent on him.
Sometimes I just think that I did something good in my previous life, so I have such good luck in this life and can get all the favors of this man.
"I knew that the queen would never calm down. I thought this was just for peace in the harem, and nothing happened because he changed his temperament, but I didn't expect that her nature is hard to change!"
As soon as Chu Yi was mentioned, Xiao Zhi's brows became filled with disgust, and he gently held Chu Xin in his arms. He couldn't help but think of the time when he was in the palace.
At that time, I had already tolerated this woman many times, and there was no need to tolerate her too much now.
When Chu Yi received the reprimand the next day, she was still a little bit in disbelief. The eunuch beside Xiao Zhi could only smile and then retreated after passing the words. They couldn't care less about Chu Yi.
