The second prince became ugly.
It wasn't that his nose was crooked or his eyes were slanted or something, but there were several crystal pimples on his cheeks, which completely ruined his appearance.
On the carriage heading to Jingyi Huangzhuang in Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture, Cen Xijin's face was covered with white gauze, and his eyes were carefully looking at the second prince with a crippled face, for fear that he would pounce on him again and act like a coquettish idiot.
On normal days, it would be fine if the second prince acted coquettishly and acted like an idiot. But this time was different from the past. Facing the second prince who was suffering from smallpox, Cen Xijin was a hundred times more vigilant. Even though the carriage bumped all the way and her sleepiness was shaken out, she did not dare to relax at all. She still maintained a strict and disciplined sitting posture and huddled in the corner, quietly listening to the squeaking sound of the wheels rolling across the road outside.
At this moment, it would be a lie to say that he had no regrets. Cen Xijin felt regretful in his heart, and felt like his intestines were turning blue.
Originally, His Majesty had no intention of letting her take care of the second prince.
Now this matter is all handled by Concubine Sun. At first, Concubine Sun planned to let two experienced and steady nuns serve His Highness.
But the second prince didn't want to. When he saw the two old nuns with livid faces and business-like expressions, his heart trembled.
He was afraid, really afraid, really afraid that he would not die of smallpox in the end, but would be humiliated to death by the people sent by Concubine Sun.
He knew all about Concubine Sun's power.
Cen Xijin told him, and Yunxiang also told him when he went to Leng Palace.
Concubine Sun is like a rattlesnake, very poisonous. She is just poisonous, but she is also smart, persevering, meticulous, transparent, courageous, knowledgeable, ambitious, and has a series of excellent qualities that will be bestowed upon people by heaven.
Such an opponent is neither difficult nor terrifying. So, can he still use the people she sent to serve him?
I'm afraid that he won't even be able to sleep peacefully in the Imperial Manor.
But other people... who would be willing to take care of a person like him who has acne?
Feng'er naturally didn't want to. She was usually the most meticulous and considerate person, but she also valued her own life very much.
Of course, Cen Xijin is also unwilling. Who wants to die? Although she was originally the eldest maid who should serve the second prince closely, there was no intention from above to let her serve the second prince.
Nowadays, people in the palace are spreading rumors that the imperial concubine is a rare kind-hearted person. She said that except for the two old nuns sent by her mother's family, there are no compulsory requirements for those who go to the imperial palace to serve the second prince. It all depends on the volition of the palace people.
Volunteer? Then no one would want it.
Cen Xijin, who finally escaped from the sea of fire, was naturally not tired of living either.
Those who have had a brush with death understand the preciousness of life best.
But when she led all the palace people in Shujing Pavilion in front of Roufu Palace and watched the second prince's carriage drive slowly outside the palace gate, and when she heard the second prince's heart-rending cry, she was I feel really soft-hearted and distressed.
"Aunt! Aunt... I want aunt!" The second prince waved his fist and banged on the door of the carriage, but the door of the carriage was locked. Even though his face was covered with tears and snot, the people accompanying him outside the carriage The old grandma just said nothing with a straight face, as if she didn't hear it at all.
Cen Xijin's nose felt sore and she clenched her jaw tightly. She must endure, endure, endure, she must live! She must not go to death with the second prince! The second prince's life is his life, isn't her life his life? Don't be soft-hearted.
He sniffed and looked up at the gray-blue sky.
It was such a gray day today, and it was so boring, so boring that it made her breathless, and it was so boring that it made her feel sad.
The clouds were mixed with drizzle, and the thin raindrops hit her face, the tip of her nose, and her eyelashes, which made her feel cold and painful, as if being cut by a knife.
The wheels of the carriage were squeaking, and the world was surprisingly quiet. After being in the palace for so long, Cen Xijin felt the complete silence for the first time.
"Auntie, help me, help me! I won't be able to sleep if I can't hear Mickey Mouse...I will be a good boy from now on...Auntie, I will never be naughty again without listening to you!"
The second prince's cries were getting farther and farther away. Cen Xijin tensed up his face expressionlessly, but he felt that his body suddenly became soft and he could hardly hold on.
The palace people standing behind her looked at her sideways, and when they saw that she was holding on to a smile and not moving at all, some comments arose.
One of the palace maids glanced at Cen Xijin and whispered to the palace maid next to her: "I see that Aunt Jin is too ruthless. Look how much your highness is crying! She is still standing there not moving at all. If it were me, I wouldn't I’m too embarrassed to stand.”
"Isn't that right? That night when the Xian Pavilion was flooded, she was knocked unconscious inside. The eunuchs said that it was His Highness who cried and begged the imperial guards to save her! After that, she ran to Weiyang Palace, Cining Palace, and Yilan Palace. After dozens of times, she was relieved of her guilt, otherwise she would not be as good as she is now!" The palace maid next to her also nodded in agreement.
Cen Xijin has bad eyesight, but her ears are very sensitive. How could she not hear what others said, so she felt even more worried.
During the days in Roufu Palace, she almost always lay in the room to recuperate due to her inconvenient legs and feet. How did she know that she actually owed such a huge favor to the second prince!
What's even more annoying is that Cai Xin and the others didn't tell her a word about what happened when she was in a coma.
Thinking about it, she glared at Cai Xin, who was standing honestly, and thought to herself, these people usually talk as fast as a shuttle, how come they are so dull like this? !
In this world, only the debt of gratitude is the most difficult to repay.
"Aunt, aunt, didn't you promise me that you won't let me go?! Aunt, please don't abandon me..." The carriage gradually moved away, almost becoming a black dot that was about to disappear.
The second prince's voice became smaller and smaller, getting further and further away.
He just keeps getting further and further away.
I wonder if His Highness can come back after going to Jingyihuangzhuang?
Cen Xijin gently raised his hand and quickly wiped away the sparkling light in his eyes.
Her eyes were getting blurry and white, and she couldn't see anything clearly, but her ears were buzzing, and familiar words rang out.
"Huh? Zhiyang, it's you! You look much fairer these days."
"Ugly man - I don't like you! I won't leave!
"Ugly man! Wait for me, wait for me!"
"Your embroidery is so ugly! It's almost like yours!"
"I don't want to listen to Journey to the West anymore. The fairies in it are all so beautiful, but they are all so bad. It's not good. I want to listen to something else."
"Auntie, do they not want me anymore?"
In my memory, his eyes were always so clear.
Cen Xijin still remembers his answer: "They don't want you, my aunt does."
Auntie wants you...Auntie wants you...
This is what she promised him.
So later Cen Xijin regretted it in the carriage.
Why is this little meatball so hateful? He wants to pounce on her even though he is wearing a veil!
So, the day when I went to Jingyihuangzhuang for acne treatment... Cen Xijin suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore.
