Chapter 99: Liu Xuanfeng
In the past six years, His Majesty's eyes have always been on Concubine Mei, and Chuxiu Palace has long lost its original scenery.
But His Majesty has always trusted Zheng Yinghuan and let her manage the harem, maybe this is the only compensation given to her for so many years.
Zheng Yinghuan sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at her face, she had gradually grown gray hair, and there were a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
Mei Concubine is when she is young and beautiful, she has sunset, what to compare, what to compare?
What's more, His Majesty has been consistent with her for the past six years, I'm afraid she has some true feelings, right?
No matter how much you don't want to believe it, you can only accept this fact after all, otherwise how can you explain why your grace to Concubine Mei has remained the same after so many years?
Envy is indeed envy, the affection she once wanted, but His Majesty gave it to other women.
"Niangniang, all of you are already waiting in the hall to say goodbye, Niangniang go over quickly!"
Yuexiang lowered her head and said on the side, always feeling distressed in her eyes.
Since Mei Concubine came to the harem, Niangniang has been in such a slump, although she does still have the power to manage the harem, but in the end it is just a false appearance, Niangniang's own heart has been empty.
Zheng Yinghuan nodded, and as soon as she went out, she saw Concubine Mei's bewitching face, and her heart sank a little.
Although she doesn't care about it in her own heart, she can't tolerate Mei Concubine's provocation in front of her, intentionally or unintentionally, every time she looks at that face, she feels that she has been answered.
But she is under the protection of His Majesty, and she will be protected and favored no matter what.
"Say hello to the concubine!"
When the concubines saw Zheng Yinghuan coming out, they immediately got up and bent down to salute.
Concubine Mei's face has always been disdainful, she probably knows that she has the greatest confidence now, and she casually wants to trample the concubine under her feet.
"No courtesy."
A touch of disgust flashed in Zheng Yinghuan's eyes, and he tried not to look in the direction of Concubine Mei, every time.
Xie Ruyan has always been indifferent, and she doesn't plan to get involved in the open and secret battles between the concubine and the concubine.
It's just that Concubine Mei's grace has not diminished for so many years, which also makes her feel a little strange, Your Majesty will not have sincerity, is it true that after so many years, has she really put her heart on Concubine Mei?
Wouldn't it be ridiculous?
But none of this has anything to do with her, after she came out of the cold palace back then, she has sealed this heart and will not be hurt by these things.
Now what she is most worried about is Chu Xin, and at this age, she should also consider marriage.
But His Majesty has always been unconcerned about Chu Xin, and the Queen Mother is seriously ill now, and she really doesn't know what to do.
When she went back, she was in a daze, and she didn't know how to make Chu Xin live well in the second half of her life, if she chose the wrong man...
I just hope that I don't want to be like her biological mother, and I don't ask how the husband and wife are in love, but I just want to respect each other and live this life in harmony.
"Mother is back!"
Chu Xinzheng asked Mingyu to put the food on the table, and there was his mother's favorite roast goose.
"Heart"
Xie Ruyan looked at Chu Xin and smiled.
used to be a girl who was not as tall as herself, but now she is finally slim, and her eyes are really good-looking.
"Mother, come and eat!"
Chu Xin was a little dark at the moment, obviously thinking about those things for a long time last night, and only fell asleep in a daze at the end.
She didn't know what choice she should make, if she really left here, would she be willing to give up her mother?
Of course, it is reluctant.
But she was also reluctant to stop.
"Have you ever thought about what kind of person she will marry in the future?"
Xie Ruya asked tentatively, intentionally or unintentionally, no matter how much she thought about many things, it was useless, mainly relying on Chu Xin herself.
"This..."Chu Xin was silent for a while, a little unsure of how to answer.
"Maybe it depends on whether there is fate between people, I always felt that my father was too unkind, but he spoiled Concubine Mei for six years, which really surprised everyone."
Chu Xin suddenly couldn't swallow a little, and he lost any interest in the food on this table.
Is this matter ridiculous, of course it is ridiculous, she naturally has resentment in her heart.
How ironic it is that the father can be so cruel to his biological mother, but he can be so affectionate and affectionate to his concubine!
The hand holding the chopsticks was trembling slightly, maybe she was about to forget the impression of her mother in her memory, but she couldn't forget the resentment and hatred.
"No one can say anything about feelings, in our opinion, the concubine is charming, and I feel that His Majesty has been seduced by her, but six years, this is six years."
Xie Ruyan is also a little unpleasant, seeing that the man who once burdened himself is so affectionate towards another woman, it is unspeakably ironic.
"If I can have this fate, it is naturally good, if I don't have it, I won't force it, but I won't be the soft-hearted person, the person who has hurt me, will never give a second chance!"
Chu Xin gritted his teeth and swallowed the sour taste in his heart.
She doesn't want to be the person of great love, she doesn't want to forgive those who have hurt her, and those barriers in her heart will always exist.
The matter of the jade pendant at the beginning left a gap in her heart, so it was not interesting to tear her face with Chu Yan, and it was not interesting to pretend to be good sisters.
"Xin'er, I want to tell you that no one in this world is more important than yourself, no matter what, you must make your life good, but don't be angry, and don't learn from me."
Xie Ruya sighed, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and told seriously.
Didn't I just gamble that breath at the beginning, and I suffered for so many years, and it was precisely because I tasted it that I didn't want my heart to be the same.
"Mother, don't worry, I will never be like this."
Chu Xin nodded vigorously, she had lived so many years of hard life when she was a child, she would never live like that again.
Whether it's anger or what, she must let herself live her best, and anyone who has hurt herself will never have a second chance.
Absolutely not.
Chu Shu has always been preoccupied since that day, and she doesn't know what she should do.
Can you really say that you can let go of the relationship for so many years, but if you can't let it go, you feel very sour in your heart.
In fact, even any woman can do it, but why is it Chu Yan?
She really hates Chu Yan the most!
At this moment, the whole person is really bored.,I don't want to talk to anyone.,I just want to walk alone in the imperial garden.。
"Brother Emperor."
Seeing the person walking in front of him, Chu Shu quickly came back to his senses and nodded his head to say hello, and saw another man in black standing next to the eldest emperor, with a puzzled face.
"Sister Shu," Chu Lin nodded, "This is my good friend, General Liu's only son, Liu Xuanfeng. ”
Seeing that Chu Shu seemed to be a little absent-minded, Chu Lin introduced the identity of his friends around him.
"I've seen Princess Shu."
Liu Xuanfeng nodded and said hello, because it was a family of military generals, his voice was thick and loud, but Chu Shu was a little surprised.
She was already immersed in the bitterness in her heart, and this deep and loud voice seemed to be like a thunderclap, as if it was going to wake people up.
"General Liu is very polite."
Chu Shu came back to her senses and quickly lowered her head and smiled a little uncomfortably, it seems that the events of that day were like a black mist wrapped around her heart, and she was absent-minded when she saw people.
"Later, I will go to help my father deal with government affairs, if Sister Shu is fine, I will leave with Xuanfeng first."
Chu Lin is the eldest prince, and he is older than these princesses.
"Hmm."
Chu Shu nodded, stepped aside, and let the two of them leave.
Just stared at the black back and took a look, this person spoke quite loudly, as if he was going to startle her!
Now I felt much better, and suddenly felt that it was very boring to walk and stop alone, so I went to Zhongcui Palace.
Chu Xinzheng is seriously drawing orchid pictures, after so many years of imitation, the orchid pictures she painted are still lifelike and vivid.
Mingyu was holding a fan on the side and fanning it gently, and at the moment, the air was filled with some hot breath.
"Sister Xin'er!"
Chu Shu was already a frequent visitor to Zhongcui Palace, and as soon as he came in, he went straight to the inner hall, and when he saw Chu Xin painting, he obediently stood on the side and watched.
"Why does my sister always like to paint orchids? I think my sister's orchid is already very realistic, so why not try to draw something else? ”
Chu Shu asked curiously while admiring, if I remember correctly, the reason why my sister likes to paint orchids is because of the incident back then?
I remember being embarrassed by Chu Yi back then, saying that he wanted to see the orchids in winter, but fortunately there was the prince of Nanliang at that time, so he was asked to draw an orchid picture, so he solved the urgent need.
Could it be that my sister is still haunted by what happened back then?
"Our sisters over the years have a good heart, you can see what you have in mind at a glance, and it is true!"
Chu Xin put down the brush and nodded with a smile.
"Mingyu step back first, let's talk to the two sisters."
"Yes."
Chu Xin picked up the drawn picture and looked at it carefully for so many years, her painting has improved a lot, and the orchids that were once poorly painted are now vivid.
I remember when I saw Yuan Heng back then, he seemed to be even thin, I don't know if his body is better after so many years?
"Say, I don't know if you're probably unhappy when you come over, but are you still haunted by the events of that day?"
Chu Xin shook his head helplessly, put down the orchid picture he had drawn, took Chu Shu's hand and sat on the chair, and poured her a cup of tea.
"Shu'er, after thinking about it, I think there are only two problems, the first is how to let Gu Gongzi know that the person he likes is not so good. Second, even if Gu Gongzi knows whether he will have affection for you after he knows it, all of this is uncertain, and I am worried that it will hurt you again. ”
Chu Xin has thought about it carefully in the past few days, and that's probably it.
In fact, in the final analysis, the most important one is that no one can guarantee that Gu Gongzi will like Chu Shu.
If they don't like it, then there's no point in what they do.
"Thank you sister for being willing to think so much for me, no matter what I have since I was a child, my sister is willing to help me think carefully, thank you sister!"
It's very strange that at this moment, Chu Shu suddenly didn't think about Gu Xiao anymore in her heart, only full of emotion and guilt.
Because her own affairs have made her sister think about it for so long, she can see that her sister is a little green now, and it looks like she didn't sleep well.
She and her sister have a deep sisterhood for many years, and she knows that if she is unhappy, her sister will also be unhappy.
"Sister."
Chu Shu threw herself into Chu Xin's arms aggrievedly, and couldn't help crying loudly.
She just felt very aggrieved, she just felt very sour in her heart, and she needed to cry well.
