If you guessed correctly, he should be the current crown prince Zhao Yuliang whose eyes light up and full of excitement every time the palace maids mention it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yingsu's eyes gradually turned cold.

For her, there may be another image of this person. Of course, that image is not solidified, after all, she still does not know him.

She turned her head and walked briskly towards the Pharmacy.

When she came out of the pharmacy with the medicine, she suddenly heard someone whispering under the tree beside her.

"I haven't seen His Highness visit them a few times throughout the year, I don't know what they are proud of." One of them said indignantly.

"People have been canonized and fortunate to have passed, unlike us, they don't even have a chance to get close." Another sighed.

Yingsu hurriedly left.

Back at the catering department, Yingsu immediately gave medicine to Chu Xiang's feet.

Yingsu's action of applying medicine to Chu Xiang was so gentle that Chu Xiang forgot the pain, and remembered the feeling of being held in her mother's arms when she was a child, which was the feeling of being cared for and cherished, and she involuntarily closed her eyes so that she could feel the gentle touch more clearly.

After a while, Chu Xiang opened his eyes and looked at her and asked, "Have you just met His Highness?" I heard Gonggong Lin say that His Highness has just gone out in an emergency, so let's make dinner for His Highness later. ”

Judging from the time when His Royal Highness went out, it was the time when Yingsu went to the medicine store to pick up medicine, and if the prince went out, he would definitely have to go through the road that Yingsu had just taken.

It is the wish of the ladies of the East Palace to see His Royal Highness's Yurong, but how can His Highness be easily seen by them? But for those who have a heart, there is always a way. They knew that His Royal Highness had to go to the court, to assist the emperor in reviewing and reviewing the recitals, to deal with political affairs, and to greet the emperor and the queen, so they had to go out once or twice a day. They took every opportunity he took to hide under a tree or under a flower bush to peek.

Every time they saw His Royal Highness's Yurong, the palace maids would get together and squeak and chatter, saying nothing more than "His Highness doesn't seem to be very happy today", "His Highness laughed today", "His Highness scolded whoever and whoever today" and so on, but they were very happy.

It is really not surprising that Chu Xiang would ask like this now.

Yingsu thought for a moment and replied softly, "I only saw my back." ”

Chu Xiang immediately became interested, lowered his head and leaned close to her ear and asked, "Is it very tall and straight, and the jade tree is in the wind?" ”

Yingsu couldn't help but sneer, but nodded honestly.

"If you want to see his face, you ...... even more" Chu Xiang saw that Yingsu's originally smiling face suddenly lost his smile, so he hurriedly stopped.

Only then did she realize that Yingsu never seemed to show any interest in the prince.

"Yingsu, it's not for nothing that the palace ladies like His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness can be literate and martial, talented and wise, and treat people with affection and righteousness. You don't know him, so you may be prejudiced against him, and you don't blame him, but when you get to know more in the future, you'll know if what I said is wrong. Chu Xiang looked at Yingsu and whispered.

Yingsu lowered her head and was silent for a while.

Chu Xiang stretched out his hand and stroked the hair on Yingying's sideburns, and said softly: "You, sometimes you are too tendonous, do I mean to say that you are too honest or too inflexible?" With your talent and your intellect, you have a chance. ”

Yingsu suddenly felt extremely frightened, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "Sister, don't say it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't control the surging emotions in his heart, so he cried in front of Chu Xiang.

Chu Xiang was surprised and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yingsu felt out of shape at this time, hurriedly turned her head to wipe away her tears, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel homesick." ”

Chu Xiang sighed, silently hugged Yingsu's shoulder, and said, "I understand, I often feel homesick. ”

The expression on Yingsu's face had regained her composure when she turned her head, and she smiled and said, "Come, I'll help you back to your room." ”

It took nearly a quarter of an hour to walk from the catering department to Chu Xiang's room, and because Chu Xiang's foot was burned, it took them twice as long to return to the room.

However, since the prince will not return for dinner until later today, they are now idle.

Entering the room, Yingsu served Chu Xiang to lie down, and then prepared to get up and leave.

Chu Xiang grabbed Yingsu's hand and said, "Since you don't have to rush to make dinner, let's sit down and chat." ”

Yingsu hesitated for a moment before smiling and sitting down on the stool next to her bed.

"From the first time I saw you, I thought we should talk." Chu Xiang rubbed his slender jade hand and said.

"I think so too." Yingsu said.

"You don't look like you grew up doing rough work at all." Chu Xiang looked at Yingsu's hand over and over again, and said with a smile.

These hands, warm and delicate, delicate and slender, are the hands of young ladies from large families.

"My father and aunt never let me do rough work when I was alive, and later I was also pampered by my adoptive father and adoptive mother, so I ......," Yingsu explained softly.

"Then why did you still come to the palace?"

"My adoptive parents are not very well-off, and I don't want to add to their burden."

"You're fifteen years old this year, and you'll get married in a year or two anyway, so it's really not a drag."

Yingsu shook her head, held Chu Xiang's hand and said, "You may not believe it—I'm afraid of getting married." ”

Chu Xiang suddenly cried and laughed, and said, "What if you marry someone you like?" ”

"You said it was just in case. How many people in this world can get a good match? ”

"Are you afraid of marrying someone you don't like?" Chu Xiang looked at her with blazing eyes and asked.

Yingsu nodded.

"But when you enter the palace, you may not be able to meet people who are happy with each other. You must know that there are many people in the palace who have survived all their lives and have not survived, let alone be able to marry Ruyi Langjun. ”

"I'm thinking the opposite of you—I'm not going to get married."

So that's the case, Chu Xiang looked at Yingsu and didn't say a word for a long time.

After a long time, Chu Xiang sighed and said, "Why are you so suffering? ”

Yingsu shook her head and didn't speak.

Chu Xiang still saw the sadness in her eyes, smiled and patted her hands and said, "Okay, let's change the topic." Or, is there anything you'd like to ask me? ”

She has been in the palace for nearly two years and knows a lot more things than Yingsu, so she doesn't mind revealing some to Yingsu.

Yingsu pondered for a moment and asked, "I heard that the prince is going to move to the prince's mansion when he reaches a certain age, why does the prince still live in the East Palace?" ”

The East Palace is located in the Imperial Palace, and if the prince lives here, his actions will naturally be more restricted.

Chu Xiang looked at Yingsu's face and replied unhurriedly: "His Royal Highness originally lived in the Prince's Mansion, but later for some reason the emperor asked him to live back in the East Palace, so he could only obey his fate." ”

"How long ago was that?"

Chu Xiang was slightly stunned for a moment, and said, "Last winter's incident." ”

"So he lived in the Prince's Mansion from spring to autumn last year?"

"yes." Chu Xiang replied briskly, seeing Yingsu's brows frowning slightly, he asked again, "Do you think there is anything wrong?" ”

Ying Su hurriedly shook her head.

Chu Xiang continued: "His Royal Highness began to live in the Prince's Mansion in the spring of the previous year, when he had just married the Crown Princess. ”

Yingsu looked at Chu Xiang with a surprised expression.

She had never heard anyone else talk about the crown princess. Before today, she thought that the crown prince had not yet accepted a concubine.

Chu Xiang saw Yingsu's thoughts, and explained with a smile: "The royal children of the Yu Kingdom can generally marry a wife when they are fifteen years old, and His Royal Highness was already seventeen years old when he married his wife, so this is a normal thing. Then he added: "But that was all in the past, and now the crown princess has been dead for nearly two years. ”

Seeing that Yingsu's expression was a little strange, Chu Xiang stroked the back of Yingsu's hand again and said, "His Royal Highness married the crown princess in the spring of the year before last and stayed in the prince's mansion. The crown princess became pregnant in the early summer of the same year, but gave birth prematurely in late autumn. The little emperor was only six months old when he was born, and he was thin and small, and he died less than three hours after he was born. The crown princess lost too much blood and was overly sad, and she also left two days later. ”

Even though she was struggling to suppress her inner emotions, Yingsu couldn't help but tears in her eyes after hearing the news.

Chu Xiang had already burst into tears.

"Although the Heavenly family is powerful and noble, they cannot escape birth, old age, sickness and death, natural and man-made disasters." Chu Xiang said quietly.

Yingsu sighed and nodded.
