Xun Chun asked: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of a country, such a noble status, and he will definitely be praised by everyone for guarding the palace as a soldier, and he will not live up to his good name, why does the princess say that he has done wrong?" ”

Chu Yi looked at Xun Chun and Pillow Xue in front of her, she knew that Pillow Xue was smart and wise, and she was calm in her work, and many things didn't need to be said to understand.

Xunchun is different, she is just an ordinary palace maid, simple by nature, and has never thought about the twists and turns in the court and harem.

Chu Yi lowered his eyes and asked, "Xunchun, in your heart, what is the relationship between the prince and the queen mother?" ”

Xunchun thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "The prince will greet the queen every month, and it has never been interrupted over the years, although they are not biological mother and son, but the relationship should not be bad." ”

Chu Yi looked at Pillow Snow again: "What does Pillow Xue think?" ”

Pillow Xue's expression was calm, although he was answering Chu Yi's question, his eyes looked at Xun Chun: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was raised under the care of the queen's mother, but since he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he only went to Yonghua Palace at the beginning of the month and fifteenth to greet his mother, and in the eyes of many people, their relationship has been much colder than before." ”

The same greeting, but in the mouth of the pillow snow, it is another way.

Xun Chun was very surprised, and his round eyes widened: "It's so, the slave just saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cared about the princess, thinking that he cared about the princess and the queen......

"You're right, my brother does care about us, but he is protecting us in the wrong direction, he thinks that he can be safe by blindly giving in, or perhaps, because of his coldness with his mother in recent years, his uncle no longer regards him as a Gu family, and he is also sad in his heart and angry with him."

"Unfortunate, indisputable?" Xun Chun still looked confused.

Chu Yi touched Xunchun's bun, his red lips opened slightly, and his expression was much more positive:

"Looking for spring, the palace has to take a different road, this road is difficult and dangerous, I give you two choices, one is to continue to be the palace maid of the palace, take care of the palace as usual, you are still the first-class palace maid of the Weiyang Palace, and after the age of twenty-five, the palace will arrange for you to leave the palace, find a wishful husband for you, and ensure that you are rich and noble for a lifetime——"

Before she finished speaking, Xunchun had already knelt on the ground and said firmly: "Slave choose the second!" ”

Chu Yi smiled: "You haven't heard me say the second one yet." ”

"The slave maid heard that what the princess wanted to do was probably different from the previous stable days, but since the princess said that it was difficult and dangerous, how could the slave and maid give up the princess, just ask for their own safety and be a bystander!"

Xun Chun's eyes flashed with tears, and she knelt down and kowtowed.

"How can there be a reason why the master charges into battle, but the slave and the maid are greedy for life and afraid of death? The slave was saved by the princess, and without the princess, there would be no slave and maid today. ”

Xun Chun said, remembering many years ago.

When she was a child, on the streets of the capital, it was the princess who took pity on her who was betrayed by her biological father, and took her back to the palace to teach, and the princess told her that she didn't have to be arrogant, and she never regarded her as a slave, and although she knew that she was not worthy, but in her heart, she had already secretly regarded the princess as a close relative.

"The slave maid once accompanied the princess to study, so she was lucky enough to know a few words, and she still remembered a poem, 'Heaven has mercy on the grass, and the world is sunny at night.'" Even the grass that has been beaten by the wind and rain will be pitied by the rain and the sun, princess, you are the one who let the slave and maid pass the rain and the sky clear. ”

Providence is merciful to the grass, and the world is sunny at night.

Chu Yi felt that she was not as good as Xun Chun said, she just felt that everything in the world had its own reason for existence, there was no distinction between high and low, heaven and earth were merciful and cruel, even if it was herself, it was just, walking on the road.

It's just a matter of moving forward.

She raised her hand to pull her up and smiled, "Fool." ”

Xunchun wiped a handful of tears: "In short, the slave maid chooses the second one, what does the princess want to do, the slave and maid will never give up!" The slave knows that she is stupid, not as smart as Sister Zhuxue, and she does not have martial arts like drinking ice, but from today on, the slave is willing to learn hard from Zhuxue, no matter what she learns, she must be able to help the princess one day. ”

"This palace won't let you use the four words of never giving up, you, in the future, learn some accounts from Zhuxue, and the small treasury of this palace will be handed over to you to manage, okay?"

When Xunchun heard this, she was about to cry again, and Chu Yi hurriedly stuffed a sour plum into her mouth.

At the end, Pillow Xue snatched the plums of the two: "The plums hurt the spleen and stomach and cause weakness, so the princess should eat less." ”

Chu Yiba sighed at the taste in his mouth, and then explained what he had not finished before: "You say, now those people in the court who impeach the Gu family and try to pull the queen mother off the horse, have you ever thought about the weight of the queen mother in the heart of the emperor?" ”

Zhu Xue was originally able to directly be a female official in the court, and immediately understood: "Your Majesty's heart for the queen's mother, those courtiers will never understand, so Your Majesty is on the side of the Gu family, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will do the same." ”

When the queen married the emperor who was still the prince, she had no children for three years, and the position of the princess was unstable, in order to stabilize her position, His Majesty placed Chu Ye, who died early, under the queen as his son-in-law, and after he ascended the throne, he also treated everyone equally, and set Chu Ye as the prince.

Chu Yi said: "My brother is in charge of the Yulin Army as the queen's sister-in-law, standing on the side of the Gu family, and letting the Gu family stop the decline, this is the purpose of my father." ”

Xun Chun tried hard to catch up with the thoughts of the two people, nodding in a daze.

Chu Yi knew that even if the Gu family really withdrew from the Great Yan Dynasty later, even if the relationship between the emperor and the queen was so cold that they didn't see each other for a year, her father and mother were all each other in their hearts.

Before his father died, the most reassuring person was the queen mother, and the queen mother chose to follow her father, which is evidence of the tragedy of her previous life.

"Your Majesty handed over the Yulin Army to the crown prince in the hope that he could help the queen mother......" Xun Chun had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and finally figured out everything.

"We are not stupid at all to find spring," Chu Yi's eyes bent into crescent moons, and said, "Of course, the father also hopes that he can rectify the Yulin Army by the way, in short, not to be a guard on duty." ”

Chu Tingxiao handed over the Yulin Army to Chu Ye, hoping that he could help the Gu family.

But in the end, Chu Tingxiao, Chu Ye, the queen mother, and the Gu family themselves ...... Everyone chose to back down, thinking that this would resolve the dispute and calm the turmoil.

But this choice is wrong.

Without the Gu family, Dayan is like a plate of loose sand, without the wind blowing, it will disperse after two steps.

And Chu Ye, he is a qualified and perfect prince, and he is her beloved brother, but he, like Chu Tingxiao, likes to hide all his feelings in his heart and never reveal them.

When she was young, she also thought that Chu Ye was a heartless and cold dummy, and his concern was as superficial as today's cloak.

Later, she saw Chu Ye holding the body of the queen mother, crying like a child, and he was desperately protecting her.

Chu Ye said, this palace is the prince and the elder brother, and he will definitely protect his younger brothers and sisters, even if he dies, he will die in front of you.

This time, he didn't have to die.

My brother has protected her for so long, she should be very tired, in this life, she will protect her brother.

There are some things that Chu Ye didn't do, so she did it.

"It has to be this palace." Chu Yi muttered.

Pillow Snow: "If the princess is determined to get involved in the affairs of officialdom and work hard, she must pay more attention to her body." ”

Chu Yi said indifferently: "This palace is now big-"

The hall suddenly darkened, and the next moment, a muffled thunder sounded.

Chu Yi was shocked, stiffened, and forcibly held back the word "good".

Pillow Xue had already reacted, immediately closed the doors and windows, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, the princess is just thundering, and besides, the princess is fine now." ”

"Hongu is not afraid!" Chu Yi coughed and told himself that it was just a rain, not a flood.

Suddenly, the sound of wind and rain sounded outside.

Chu Yi gritted his teeth, pursed his lips and said: "This palace is weak and can't take care of itself, so I still sleep first, and then call it at dinner, and then my father will probably come too." ”

"The slave obeys."

She saw the python robe cloak next to her, and ordered: "Xunchun, you ask someone to return the cloak to your brother, and then send him two soup women and a robe." ”

Pillow Xue did not dismantle the fear under Chu Yi's calm appearance, and covered the window with a curtain: "The spring rain is cold, and the slave maid will add another pot of charcoal to His Highness." ”

Chu Yi's heart moved, and his eyes were slightly condensed, as if he saw the sound of wind and rain whistling outside the hall.

She is afraid of water, from body to mind.

Chu Yi had fallen into the water when she was young, probably because she was too young, she couldn't remember the reason herself, and she couldn't remember whether it was a lake or a river.

This is because she listened to Chu Tingxiao after she was scared to cry by the sound of the rainstorm.
