Chu Xiang raised his hand to wipe his tears, and then said in his usual calm and gentle voice: "I don't want to follow the path of my cousin, I have already planned, if I can meet the right person before the age of thirty, I will apply to leave the palace to marry, if not, I will continue to work in the palace until they don't want me." Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info I am very careful to save up my monthly money now, and I rarely use the money I earn for my brother and brother. They're all young and they all have income, so I don't think I need to. I save my money and plan for my own future. ”

Yingsu nodded.

"I'm telling you these things to tell you - for palace maids like us, we have to plan for our future from the day we enter the palace." Chu Xiang looked at his delicate face like a peach blossom and said.

She really didn't want Yingsu to be as lonely and helpless as those poor old palace maids in the future.

"I understand." Yingsu nodded, and said, "If my sister doesn't dislike it in the future, treat me as a sister." ”

"Naturally, I haven't treated you as an outsider all along."

"Does my sister know many people in the palace? For example, outside the East Palace. Yingsu asked. The voice is soft, and it makes people feel comfortable listening to it.

Chu Xiang shook his head and said, "No." Too few opportunities to come into contact with them. What about you? ”

"Neither did I. But it doesn't matter, I'm already content to have friends like my sister. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Yingsu held Chu Xiang's hand and chatted with each other, and didn't leave until late at night.

She sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the trees and flowers in the courtyard that were constantly ravaged by thunder and lightning, and then looked at the dark night sky with stormy clouds and thunder, and silently made plans in her heart.

On this night of thunder and lightning, the prince's teacher Wu Boping died of illness. When the crown prince heard the news, he immediately rushed to the Wu Mansion.

After dawn, when Yingsu arrived at the palm seam, Gong Wenmin told her about it.

After a few days of contact, Gong Wenmin slowly fell in love with this well-behaved and hardworking girl. Of course, liking is like, but the relationship between the two is far from the point of being close friends.

"His Royal Highness respects and relies on this teacher the most in his life, and now that he is gone, His Highness must be very sad." Gong Wenmin said with a sigh.

Wen Yingsu didn't speak, she didn't know what to say, she looked up at the other side of the lake, and saw that the windows over there were all closed. She retracted her gaze, glanced at Gong Wenmin, pursed her lips and said nothing.

On this day, all day long, Wen Yingsu paid attention to the movement on the other side of the lake.

She didn't realize that she was waiting for someone's return, consciously or unconsciously.

Today, when embroidering, Yingsu often falls into sadness, sadness over the loss of a life. It reminded her of her three closest relatives who were no longer alive. At the same time, she was sad because, she knew that there was someone who was sad today, and she was sad because of his sadness.

Then, she secretly scolded herself again, calling herself a traitor. She was flustered again.

When the emperor told his ministers about Wu Boping's death in the early court, many people expressed regret, and many people secretly applauded in their hearts.

The crown prince Zhao Yuliang did not show his true feelings in front of everyone. He was as calm as ever, even calmer than usual.

Those who want to see him lose his temper can't help but be a little disappointed.

After retreating from the court, Fang Wendong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, who had left the palace gate, whispered to Feng Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials: "Your Highness can even treat the death of the Taifu who is also a father and a teacher so calmly. ”

Feng Hong said as he walked: "Your Highness has always been moody and angry, but you can't guess his thoughts based on his expression alone. ”

Yes, how can a person who has understood the essence of the Art of War at the age of 12 and has been a master gambler since the age of 10 easily reveal his thoughts in front of others?

That evening, when Yingsu returned to her residence after work, she realized that she had leaked the fan in the slit of her palm.

In this kind of weather, if she doesn't fan at night, she probably won't be able to sleep, so after she finishes dinner, she turns back to the palm seam to get the fan.

By the time she reached the slit in her palm, it was already dark, but she could barely see what was inside. Yingsu walked straight to her work seat, picked up the fan, and glanced quickly across the lake.

At this glance, she couldn't help but freeze.

The crown prince Zhao Yuliang was sitting on the Taishi chair near the window at this time. As usual, he was playing chess alone. However, there was no one else in the room but him.

He should have retired Lin Frame and those palace maids.

The light on the chess table shone on his face, allowing her to faintly see his expression.

His brow furrowed slightly, his expression sad, his eyes staring at the chessboard thoughtfully. Before long, he closed his eyes and shook his shoulders. Then, she faintly heard him crying. The cry was muffled, sounding like a whimper. This reminded Yingsu of the cry she had when she woke up after being rescued.

This is the first time Yingsu has seen an adult man cry. Before this, she had never known that men could be so heartbreaking and moving when they cried.

The man on the other side of the lake is so calm, indifferent, majestic, domineering, and tenacious in front of people, but he has such a fragile, sentimental, lonely, and helpless side behind people.

Yingsu looked at him with mixed feelings, and the person who could make every woman stare at him couldn't help but feel a fluctuating heart.

She didn't dare to look any further, and hurriedly left the palm crack.

Two days later, in the palace of King Jin.

Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin, was drinking tea while talking to his chamberlain Zhou Jin.

"Did the prince go to Wu Mansion after Wu Boping's death?" Zhao Yuxun asked Zhou Jin. A nonchalant look.

Zhou Jin replied while peeling the apple: "Go, he has been going every day for the past two days." ”

Zhao Yuxun smiled: "He is quite good at pretending, and he doesn't show any emotion in front of people." ”

"Isn't it? The prince's performance in front of people can be described as impeccable. Zhou Jin said.

Zhao Yuxun smiled coldly and said, "This King Pei is very similar to him. ”

King Pei Zhao Yuxian is the eldest son of the current saint. His biological mother was a palace maid of very low rank, surnamed Liu. Although Liu has a bit of a posture, because of his wooden temperament and not good at words, he forgot about her after he was in the past/fortunate for her. When King Pei was born, the emperor wanted to crown Liu as Concubine Ning, but she died of illness soon after King Pei's full moon, so she had to give up. Therefore, the Liu family was still only a low-level palace maid until she died.

Since Liu's death, Empress Jingzhuang took over the task of raising Zhao Yuxian as an adult, so Zhao Yuxian, the king of Pei, was brought up by Empress Jingzhuang.

Queen Jingzhuang is dignified and virtuous, erudite and talented, and has the bearing of a mother, Zhao Yuxian respects her deeply and has always regarded her as his biological mother.

When Zhao Yuxian was two years old, Empress Jingzhuang gave birth to Zhao Yuliang, the crown prince of the dynasty.

Queen Jingzhuang often let the two of them play together.

Because these two have played together since childhood and have similar interests, their relationship is no different from that of brothers.

In comparison, the relationship between Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin, and them is much more estranged.

Zhao Yuxun was born to the imperial concubine He, five years younger than Zhao Yuxian and three years younger than Zhao Yuliang. From a very young age, Zhao Yuxun was strictly guarded by his mother He, so he didn't have many opportunities to be with his two elder brothers. When he was ten years old, his mother allowed him to play with his two older brothers, but he found that they were more polite than affectionate.

Sometimes, politeness is distant.

So Zhao Yuxun when he was a teenager couldn't play with his two brothers.

Even though the three of them grew up and became sensible, and would invite each other to dinner and talk about their recent schoolwork from time to time, he and them still could not cultivate a cordial and natural brotherhood.

Therefore, Zhao Yuxun inevitably feels a little uncomfortable every time he sees Zhao Yuxian and Zhao Yuliang together.

However, with Zhao Yuxian's inauguration four years ago, the two brothers had to go their separate ways. Zhao Yuxun was quite gloating at that time.
