Chapter 31: The Dispute between Wives and Concubines

In Su Mansion for seven days in a row to guard Mrs. Su's spirit, Li Xuan was by my side almost all the time, and he never even went to the court. Fortunately, he took care of me and supported me, otherwise I would definitely not survive.

There are not many servants in the Su Mansion, and the old housekeeper and a few of them have entered the Su Mansion since they were young, and when Mrs. Su died, they were as sad as me, and they kept wiping their tears, which made people feel sad. Today's Su Mansion is even more deserted, and the noble and quiet chrysanthemums in the garden are thanked early, and they are lonely.

Master Su hid in the house and didn't see anyone, he didn't think about tea and dinner for several days, and no one could persuade him, until he fell ill and fainted, Li Xuan invited the imperial doctor in the palace to treat him, and the imperial doctor said that he was depressed in his heart and his heart was difficult to treat. After hearing this, I couldn't help but lament, husband and wife are the same forest birds, one is far away, how can the remaining one not be sad and sad?

The sky has been cloudy these days, and the autumn rain has fallen sparsely for so long, Xiaoye stepped forward and lifted the sedan curtain, I finally glanced at Su Fu, bent into the sedan chair, I have less and less, from now on, I only have Li Xuan left.

When I returned to the palace, the first thing I saw was Mrs. Xiang waiting outside the gate.

As soon as the sedan chair Li Xuan was sitting on landed, Mrs. Xiang greeted her with all the money, looking like a wife who was anxiously waiting for her husband to return home. Li Xuan's face was a rare and gentle color, and it was so real that it was within reach.

A few days ago, at Mrs. Su's funeral hall, he looked at me with exactly the same eyes, and said to me gently that he married me because he loved me, and he treated me mean because he didn't know how to get close to me, and he also said that he would spoil me and protect me from being hurt in the slightest.

The words are still in my ears, but at this moment, I am so sad and unbearable.

I stood a few feet away and looked, Mrs. Xiang was dressed beautifully, her makeup was exquisite, and the whole person was as glamorous as a peach and plum, enchanting and charming, and she was a beautiful woman. And I was dressed plain white, my eyes were swollen, and my face was haggard. She and the handsome and clear Li Xuan stand together so well, they are simply a pair of beautiful people.

Such an intimate and harmonious scene can be called a concubine's affection, deep and meaningful, but it stabbed my eyes, I obviously didn't want to see it, but I forced myself to open my eyes wide and engrave this scene in my mind, reminding myself that Li Xuan is not a husband who belongs to me alone.

Li Xuan will not dismiss all his concubines for me, and I am not qualified to ask him to do this for me, what I can do is to hide my true heart and not give it to others easily, so that I can suffer less harm.

What's more, he always treats Mrs. Xiang more generously than others, how can I get involved in the past between them? Since no one can replace anyone, why should I compete with her for favor?

"Princess, Mrs. Xiang is clearly deliberate, everyone in the palace knows that the old lady has passed away, and the princess accompanied the princess to her mother's house, she deliberately dressed up and waited here, isn't it just to make it clear that the prince wants the prince to go to her place?" Xiao Ye was angry, quietly walked to my side, and gently supported me, with a look of resentment.

I am grateful for the righteousness of this girl Xiao Ye, but I really can't laugh, when I return to the palace, I have become Princess Xuan again, and I am no longer just Qin Xi. Am I going to face more than just a Lady Xiang?

I patted the back of Xiao Ye's hand and signaled her not to take it to heart, and only after calming down did I walk towards Li Xuan leisurely: "I'm tired, go back to the ink garden to rest first." I lowered my head and didn't look at Li Xuan's face, deliberately making my voice seem calmer.

Li Xuan said lukewarmly: "Since you are tired, go back and rest, I told Aunt Yun to take care of you." ”

I walked past him with an "um" sound, and didn't look at him again from beginning to end, and followed Xiao Ye to the ink garden in a daze.

Aunt Yun was guarding outside the house, and when she saw me, she smiled, and her eyes seemed to be shining with tears, and I left for a few days, why was she so happy to be like this?

"Finally back, the princess has lost a lot of weight, and she must have not eaten well or slept well in the past few days." Aunt Yun said.

Aunt Yun really feels sorry for me, my heart is warm and sour, I don't care about eating in Sufu, I only sleep a few hours a day to ensure that I don't fall down, and when I come back, I feel tired like a cocoon.

"Aunt Yun, I want to take a shower and get some sleep." I was so tired that my eyelids were so heavy that I was fighting.

"The prince sent someone early in the morning to say that the princess will return to the house today, and the slave maid has prepared the bath water with the girl Chulan, and changed into a new set of bedding, just waiting for the princess to come back."

I entered the house, the bathtub behind the screen was filled with warm spring water, and there were red rose petals floating on the water, I withdrew the leaflets, took off my plain clothes, and immersed my whole body in the water, the warm hot water moistened the tender white skin of my whole body, and I fell asleep unconsciously.
