Chapter 20: I Believe in You
"The concubine thanked Your Majesty, but the concubine felt that she could accept it. If His Majesty is disturbed by the affairs of his concubine, it is the concubine's sin. β
Seeing Chu Yu's eyes and eyebrows lowered, and his face turned pale, Ye Hansi knew it.
"That's good, I originally thought that my concubine would think that I was too ruthless because of this...... It's just an old woman who is getting older, but she has such a fate that is worse than death. β
"There are many such people in the palace, and she is only one of them."
Ye Hansi said something meaningful, which made Chu Yu shudder.
He always felt that he was indirectly hinting at something, and maybe he was thinking too much.
"The concubine came to His Majesty for the draft."
"Oh?" Ye Hansi pretended to be puzzled.
Chu Yu looked at him lazily, and his tone was almost flat, "I heard Gonggong Jiang mention it yesterday, and I realized that there was no substantial progress in the draft. Since His Majesty said that this should have been done by the concubines, then the concubines should also come over and beg His Majesty to set the date for the selection of the show girls earlier, so that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household could prepare the next required affairs. β
"It's their blessing for the harem to have a noble concubine like you."
"Your Majesty has won the award, this is a matter for the concubines. Moreover, he can relieve His Majesty's worries, and the concubines are willing to be happy. Chu Yuxi said polite clichΓ©s, and there was no trace of warmth between the lines.
Ye Hansi had long been tired of hearing these words.
"I always feel that there is a separation between me and my concubine."
Chu Yuxi was thinking about his words in his heart, and he didn't want Xiao Jiezi to walk in at this moment, "Your Majesty, there is news from Chaohua Palace, saying that Wei Zhaoyi is unwell, please go over and take a look." β
Chu Yu didn't want to get involved, so he bowed first, "The concubine hasn't asked the queen mother for peace since she left the cold palace, it's really not in accordance with the rules." Therefore, now I went to the queen mother to ask for guilt, and the concubine retired. β
I saw that Ye Hansi's eyes sank, but he didn't say anything, only waved his hand at her.
β¦β¦
Withdrawing from the imperial study, Chu Yuxi was in a much better mood.
Immediately after, they went to Weiyang Palace. Chu Yuxi only thought about solving these trivial matters as soon as possible, so as not to delay again and again, and so on, how could it become a big thing in the future?
Before entering Weiyang Palace, I heard a burst of laughter.
Chu Yuxi stopped and listened.
"Recently, the imperial brother has been too close to the newly sealed concubine. However, this is not a good thing, and it can also show that the royal brother is still interested in women. In this way, the queen mother does not have to worry about the royal brother, and she can be happier every day. β
"You, go and mess with all this gossip. If your royal brother knew behind his back that you said that he was not close to women, he would be angry. β
"Yue'er was brought up by the royal brother since she was a child, and I know best how he has a temperament, so he won't blame Yue'er."
Chu Yuxi was wondering about the identity of that person, so he heard Xiao Qi whisper on the side: "Niangniang, this is Your Majesty's sister, Princess Bimin...... I'll talk to you about the rest later. β
Chu Yuxi gave Xiao Qi a look, and saw her shouting, "Your concubine has arrived." β
Chu Yuxi walked into the palace gate with a smile, and saw that the Queen Mother was talking with a lovely-looking woman.
Chu Yuxi hadn't saluted yet, but the princess Bi Min jumped up and down to her, and held her hand without any scruples, blinking her round black eyes and asking, "You are the noble concubine who has been favored by the imperial brother recently, right?" β
Chu Yuxi smiled back, looked at her face carefully, and her heart was unconsciously moved.
The word bi originally describes the blue-green jade. And this princess's face is as golden and jade as a finely carved jade, although she is wearing plain clothes, it is difficult to hide her jade appearance. Look closely at the big black eyes under the willow leaf bent eyebrows, there seems to be a clear spring gushing out from the inside out, and the bridge of a high nose is also full of heroic spirit, but it also responds to the interpretation of the word "Min": smart and agile. There is a shallow pear vortex next to the pink cherry lips, and she smiles.
Chu Yuxi came back to her senses and hurriedly saluted her: "I've seen Princess Bimin." β
"I look at you with a good face, I have never seen you before. From now on we will each be closer, and then I will not have to come to the queen mother every day to pass the boring court life. β
When the Queen Mother heard this, she hurriedly reprimanded her: "What are you talking nonsense about?" β
Although it is a reprimand, the tone of his voice is extremely favorable, and presumably the background of this princess Bimin is not ordinary.
Listening to what she said before, it can be imagined that she is also deeply loved by Ye Hansi.
"Okay."
Chu Yuxi first accosted her, and then stepped forward to salute the Queen Mother and said, "The concubine should ask the Queen Mother for peace on the day she leaves the cold palace, because something happened, and she fell ill later." So it has been delayed until today, and I hope that the Queen Mother will forgive her sins. β
"You get up", the Queen Mother paused, and then continued, "Your affairs are also known to the mourning family, and I heard that you can relieve Your Majesty's worries about the Five Sons' Array, which is a good thing." Now that you have come out of the cold palace, you have to prove your innocence, and the mourning family has believed your words first. β
"It's just that you'd better prove your innocence, otherwise even if Your Majesty wants to allow you, the mourning family will definitely not allow it."
When Princess Bi Min heard this, she hurriedly turned around and ran to the Queen Mother's side, and said coquettishly: "Queen Mother, I don't think she is such a person. I also know what this harem is, and it's common to be framed. β
Chu Yuxi had a good impression of this Bimin princess for a while, and it was really rare that she would speak for herself.
What's more, when he has eyes for her, he rejoices.
The Queen Mother glanced at Princess Bi Min helplessly, and then raised her eyes and looked Chu Yu up and down, "Mama Hua also knows about the mourning family, and now her body is all raised?" β
"Back to the Queen Mother, it's already good."
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and after giving Mama Li a look, she saw her slowly retreat, and after a while, she brought three teas and some pastries.
"Come and sit."
Chu Yuxi took the order and sat over.
"The fact that the Emperor favors you is enough to show your weight in his heart. I won't mention the details again, I just hope that after this incident, you can do your part and spread the branches for the royal family. β
The Queen Mother gradually retracted the smile in her eyes, and said: "If not, or if you have another incident, I will let you and Mama Hua have the same fate." β
The Queen Mother was majestic at this time, but the next second she was debunked by Princess Bimin.
"You know what, the queen mother is like that. Sometimes she speaks a little hard, but her heart is kind. I heard the queen mother talk about you before you were still alive. You can enter the eyes of the imperial brother, and you are still the first concubine he has summoned, which shows that you are not ordinary. β
"I believe in you."
These four words are enough to prove her heart.
"Thank you, princess, I will find evidence to prove my innocence."
After sitting in Weiyang Palace for a while, Chu Yuxi returned to the Furong Palace.
Princess Bi Min did not mention that she wanted to go to her, so she did not invite her.
On the way back to the Furong Palace, Chu Yuxi heard Xiaoqi talk about Princess Bimin. Princess Bimin was born to an unfavored concubine of the former emperor, and the concubine died of a postpartum blood collapse.
