Chapter 439: Innocence
She couldn't help pinching her tender face, "Tell you seriously, did your third sister mention anyone?" Like what...... Man. β
Kyaukjiao put her arms around her neck and said, "Oh, what man? The third sister is like a gourd all day long, and the most talked about is clothes, jewelry, books, calligraphy and paintings, how do I know? β
This kid ......
Nichuhe shook his head and asked no more.
Fortunately, listening to what Jiaojiao meant, Shuyi and Chu Li didn't have much contact.
β¦β¦
After Princess Shuyi died, Concubine Qing suffered a big blow and fell ill all of a sudden.
Concubine Qing has been such a daughter all her life, at first she was looking forward to having an elder brother, but then there was no hope, her daughter was her only sustenance, and she was looking forward to a good home for her daughter.
Now even this only sustenance is gone, and the rest of the days are only boundless loneliness.
After all, this Qing Concubine is quite pitiful.
Concubine Ning still has a seventh elder brother Hongyu in her life, although she is not her own, but she is also a comfort, and she was also good friends with Concubine Qing in the past, so she went to visit and comforted her, "Don't be too sad, in the end, this is fate, Princess Shuyi has always been filial, and she must have no intention of seeing you like this." β
Concubine Qing is no longer young, at this moment, this sick face, the extra white hair on the top of her head, looks like she is more than ten years old, where is the Yu family who refused to admit defeat in the past?
Concubine Ning had never seen her so loveless, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"I have never had a child in my life, although I have never lost it, but I also understand your feelings, but in life, you always have to look forward, there is no hurdle that you can't pass. Who in this house is not like this? No matter how much you suffer, you still have to get through it after all. β
She patted the back of Concubine Qing's skinny hand, "Sister, I'm not talking about cool words, it's just that you and I have been together for decades, and I always hope for your well. β
Concubine Qing's eyes that had already dried up finally shed a line of tears, she looked at Concubine Ning in front of her with a sad face, and held her hand tightly, "I thought she was well-behaved and obedient, I don't need to worry, I never knew that she had such a decisive side, it was my incompetent mother, and I didn't find out her unsatisfactory early." β
After a pause, she smiled bitterly again, "What if you find out?" At the end of the day, we can't be the masters of our mother and daughter, and I can only try to get the best for her. I never thought that it would be like this. β
Concubine Ning didn't know how to persuade her, so she remained silent.
Concubine Qing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled, "Thank you Sister Ning, don't worry, I won't be slumped, Mintong is also looking forward to me being well, how can I brush her wish again?" Even if she doesn't come back, I hope she can feel at ease. β
Hearing this, even Concubine Ning couldn't help but feel sad when she saw the ups and downs of this harem.
She knew that Concubine Qing's life would only be more difficult in the future, how could she spend this long night alone?
But which of the women in this harem is not like this? Who hasn't become a lonely ghost in this boundless torment?
However, even if you are a lonely ghost, you still have to go on.
β¦β¦
Kyaukjiao was very depressed for a while and didn't go out for a long time.
On this day, Kyaukjiao sat alone by the lake, looking at the calm lake surface among the green lotus leaves, in a daze.
Not far behind her stood the nanny and the palace maids, carefully guarding her, and Chu Li was standing on the other side.
It's just that at this moment, Chu Li is wrapping his arms around, leaning against the trunk of the tree, looking up at the blue sky above his head, obviously out of state.
Jiaojiao threw a few stones at the lake, and when he saw that the lake was finally not calm, he smiled, turned his head to look at Chu Li who was in a daze, walked over, and patted his arm, "Chu Li, what are you thinking?" β
Chu Li came back to his senses and looked at the little girl in front of him, the simple and carefree little girl seemed to have sorrow for the first time, he often saw her alone in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
He thought, she was missing the third princess, right?
Who wouldn't?
Chu Li said lightly: "I was thinking that this palace is really big, but it is very small. β
It's so big that you can never get out, so small that you can only see the sky overhead.
She often lamented that she was trapped in the palace and couldn't get out, longing for the outside world, and finally got out, but it ended like this.
Why is that?
It's a strange feeling, she is such a quiet person, the most obedient, but in her heart she desperately longs for freedom.
He had been free and now he was trapped here, and he knew that feeling, because he always felt sorry for her.
When she got married, although he was sad, he was also happy, because she finally went out.
Who would have thought that he would walk into another cage and never get out again.
Sure enough, no one born here can be happy.
What about the six princesses in front of you?
I used to feel that she was out of place in this palace, other people were always struggling and giving in, only she was naΓ―ve and carefree.
He liked this carefree because it was the only bright color in the house.
But I don't know when, this innocent face was also dyed with sorrow.
But it was only a flash, and in a blink of an eye, she was the innocent and lively sixth princess again.
Sure enough, the child's mind is very simple, and the sadness is only short-lived.
That's good, at least better than her.
I wish she would never grow up and be as happy as she is now.
Kyaukjiao tilted her head, looked at the tall man in front of her, and muttered, "Are you sad?" I sense that you are sad. β
Suddenly, she raised her lips and smiled, "This palace is indeed very big, but it doesn't matter, I'll take you out, so you will be happy." β
Chu Li didn't know why, the next moment, his clothes were caught, he lowered his head, and a white and tender little hand tugged at the corner of his robe, "I'll take you to my sixth brother's mansion." β
He turned around and left.
Chu Li paused and followed, but his mood improved for no reason.
Maybe the sixth princess is the happiest girl in this palace.
Because she is favored by a noble concubine and indulged by the emperor, no one will give her unhappiness.
Perhaps, he hopes that the other party will keep this only innocence, at least not like the third princess.
Because Chu Li was a foreign man, it was not suitable to enter the back house, so Jiaojiao took Chu Li to Liubeiler's study, and the Qi housekeeper in the front yard led Jiaojiao to the study.
Liubeile was not in the house, and the Liufu Jin Fucha clan rushed over when he heard the news.
"Why did the sixth sister come suddenly? Don't say it beforehand, it scares me. Fucha smiled and groaned, gentle and submissive.
Kyaukjiao happily ran forward and bent her knees, "Jiarou is bothering the sixth sister-in-law." β
Fucha shook Kyaukyao's hand and said angrily: "I am still courteous to my sister-in-law from home, and I have asked you to prepare your favorite dim sum." β
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Bright smiles brightly.
Fucha glanced at Chu Li behind her, and looked surprised, but didn't say anything.
Chu Li always kept his head down, very well-behaved.
