Since that incident, Chu Xin has become more and more silent, she can feel that there seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere recently, His Majesty is seriously ill, I am afraid that many people are thinking about it.

Thinking about what the crown princess said to herself that day, she picked a sunny day, and wanted to go to Fanghua Courtyard to explain it to Aunt Chu, knowing that as long as it involves Xiao Zhi, the other party will definitely take it seriously.

"You came here by yourself today?"

Aunt Chu didn't look as mean as before, and made a good gesture to let Chu Xin sit opposite her.

"Yuexiang said that day, you are outside the door, I am curious, what do you want to tell me?"

Aunt Chu's whole person is much softer, no longer making things difficult as before, Xiao Zhi has often been with her these days, and when she is in a good mood, she has no desire to lose her temper.

Chu Xin said everything that day clearly, and he could feel that the current atmosphere was very wrong, and His Majesty was seriously ill, and many people were afraid that they were about to move.

But she is just a side lady, and she is not qualified to ask about these things at all, and not causing trouble is the best help.

"It turns out that this is the case," Aunt Chu smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not a fool, I see many things more clearly than you, Princess Xuan came here because Her Royal Highness went to Wanxian last time, and I want to come to the mansion to see if there is anyone who shouldn't appear, but fortunately, you always stay in Qixia Courtyard with Qianqian, so she can't find anything." ”

While saying that, Aunt Chu also poured a cup of tea herself and handed it to Chu Xin.

"It turns out that they still remember the things in the past, and it turns out that Princess Xuan comes to the palace every time she comes to the palace for these things."

This seems to be a bit expected in the end, but Chu Xin felt a little sour in his heart after thinking about it a little more, it turned out that these worries of his own were nothing at all, didn't Aunt Chu know the importance of these things?

"Your Royal Highness told me, the Qianqian you brought back is of great use, so I let you stay by your side and stay in Qixia Courtyard, because I know that you like to be quiet and always stay in the courtyard and are reluctant to come out, so Princess Xuan can't see Qianqian every time she comes over."

Aunt Chu smiled shallowly, looking at Chu Xin, who was calm in front of her, and felt a little funny.

"I see, it seems that I am too worried, it turns out that what His Royal Highness should say will be made clear to the princess, I shouldn't be blind to this."

Chu Xin smiled bitterly, and blamed himself for not being able to see the facts clearly, Xiao Zhi's justifiable wife was Aunt Chu, how could there be something to hide from her, naturally he didn't have to say it himself, he would explain everything clearly.

What's more, Aunt Chu is of such a great help to him, and he can't be anything at all.

"Do you know how tense the current situation is, Your Majesty has been seriously ill for more than a month, everything should be handled by His Royal Highness the Prince, but King Xuan must intervene horizontally, King Xuan does not dare to do anything to His Royal Highness the Prince, then he will inevitably be angry on His Highness!"

Aunt Chu glanced at Chu Xin quietly, "So why do you think His Royal Highness must follow the prince these months, it is because he has to firmly grasp this big tree, even if King Xuan loses in the future, if he wants to deal with His Royal Highness, it will be more than enough, His Royal Highness the crown prince is virtuous and benevolent, and it is not a bad thing to follow him." ”

It's rare for Aunt Chu to say so much to Chu Xin, in fact, today is also a relatively harmonious day for them to get along, and when they meet at ordinary times, they must always think about embarrassing each other.

Looking at it carefully, I feel that Chu Xin seems to be less annoying all of a sudden, and I don't know why I hated her so much when I was a child, maybe when people grow up, many of their thoughts have changed, right?

"I see."

Chu Xin nodded slightly, and realized more and more that the responsibilities of different identities are also different, she is just a side lady, she just stays in her yard honestly on weekdays, and the only thing that is really useful is Aunt Chu who is the princess.

So there is no essential difference between his situation and Qingyun, how many feelings are left of those proud feelings?

"It's been almost a year since I came to Northern Qi, and the days have gone by so fast, for more than a year, you just need to stay in your own yard and live a quiet life, and I have never treated you badly in terms of food and clothing, although the things sent to Qixia Courtyard are not the best, but they are definitely not bad."

Aunt Chu was very emotional, and she didn't know why she suddenly wanted to say these words, but she felt these thoughts inexplicably.

"Yes, even if we are at odds and have so many contradictions, it is true that you have never treated me badly in this regard."

Chu Xin was stunned for a moment, feeling that Aunt Chu seemed to be really different today, how could she say these words, the whole person looked much calmer, and she didn't seem to be so arrogant and mean.

In a trance, I thought of Aunt Chu when I was a child, at that time she was like a sweet and lovely doll, it was she who handed the basket of charcoal to herself, and it was precisely because of this basket of charcoal that her mother suffered so many boards.

"But I can't be as easy as you, I have to manage many things in the house, and His Highness has his own things to do, and it is impossible to pay attention to the affairs of the house all the time, so I can only pay attention to them.

I have to spend at least an hour every day to look at the account books, and I have to personally inquire about all kinds of things in the palace, because I am the princess and the mistress of the palace, and I can't only take care of myself like you. “

Aunt Chu said while thinking back on the days since she was more than a year, as if she hadn't really gotten along with Xiao Zhi for a few months.

Most of the time, I stay in the room alone to read the account books, or I deal with all kinds of big and small things, and when things don't go my way, I feel embarrassed and sprinkle my anger on her

Now that I think about it, I actually feel how I used to be so naïve, Yuexiang often says that she is still as arrogant and willful as when she was a princess in the past, and she doesn't know that she has a responsibility on her shoulders.

Just like when the mother was a concubine, she had to manage the harem well, no matter how bad the mood was, she always had to do what she had to do.

The truth that I didn't want to understand was suddenly understood at this moment, and it was really amazing.

"Chu Xin, so do you understand the difference brought by identity, even if we were both princesses in the past, even if my father didn't like me as much as he did at the beginning, but I can still suppress you, now that I am a princess, you are just a side lady, I can still press on your head, so do you regret that you had to fight with me in the first place?"

This is the first time that Aunt Chu has said this calmly, maybe it is just a matter of a moment, and many things can be figured out.

At the beginning, I didn't like Chu Xin for the identity of an inexplicable princess, and then I always targeted each other intentionally or unintentionally, but it doesn't seem to be the same thing?

"I didn't fight with you, I just didn't want to give up my feelings, I have given up a lot in the face of you, but I don't want to give up my feelings anymore.

It's just that now it seems that it was just my wishful thinking at the beginning, and whatever it is will become yours, whether it is feelings or people. “

Chu Xin said sarcastically word by word, if he didn't care about these things at all from the front, then he couldn't ignore them at this moment.

Because I watched how the feelings were gone, thinking of what Xiao Zhi said that day, and thinking of the time I had really spent less than a month or two together for more than a year, I felt that all this was so helpless.

The reason why there was such a big reaction when she went back that day was because those words were just the last straw that broke the camel's back, and it really broke her.

"Why do you feel like someone who belongs to your feelings? Why can't you think it's me? In the past, when Xiao Zhi was in the palace of the king of Chu, he didn't love you alone, why can't you believe that he was already courting me at that time? ”

Aunt Chu raised her eyebrows and asked funny, she could see why Chu Xin was insisting, but this insistence was a mistake from the beginning, and it was a joke from the beginning!

Could it be that Xiao Zhi is a loyal man, he attracted himself intentionally or unintentionally when he was in Nanyuan, which has shown that he is definitely not a single-minded person.

But Chu Xin still seems to be obsessed with believing him, how can a person be so stupid?

"Really?"

Chu Xin still looked very calm, but only she knew how fast this heart was beating.

The feeling at this moment was like the only thing that I had ever had, but it was worthless in the eyes of others, and I felt naked humiliation again.

It seems that from childhood to adulthood, Aunt Chu can always easily get everything she can't have, she was born a noble princess and enjoyed the life of a princess, but she suffered in the cold palace for eight years.

After coming out, every time she faced Aunt Chu, she always had to back down, she was not qualified to fight for anything, and she always had to back down again and again.

But now he told him that the Xiao Zhi he once thought he had was nothing more than that, and the feelings that he once valued so much were all the same, so what was left of what he really had?

"Do you know what a stupid decision you made in the first place?" Aunt Chu looked at her and said reluctantly, "At the beginning, he only said that he asked for the princess of Da Chu, but he didn't name him, saying that he wanted to marry you, why didn't he make it clear at that time?" ”

"Why?"

Chu Xin asked.

"Because the person he really wants to marry is me!"

Aunt Chu's answer is so natural, this answer will be known after a little thought.

"At that time, I was also my father's favorite princess, and my brother was also my father's favorite prince, and I naturally had a love affair that was beneficial and harmless, and when the news of the marriage proposal came, I thought you were stupid, why did you rush to post it, how tired I was of you at that time, do you know?"

At this moment, Aunt Chu seems to have returned to the same lofty as before, showing off her happiness, maybe she has never lost, and she has always been confident in front of Chu Xin

Now that I understand this, I don't have so much anger, just like people in the clouds don't pay attention to what the mud is like, maybe sometimes they will have a little more pity.

Pitiful, really pitiful, how can there be such a pitiful person?

Chu Xin was silent for a long time and didn't want to speak, but he felt that his eyes seemed to be moist again.

Needless to say, she can feel how cowardly she is at the moment, and she suddenly thinks of how brave she was when she was a child, is it that the more people grow up, the less courage they had when they were children?

"I suddenly have a good idea to help you determine if there is really how much is left of the former relationship, would you like to bet with me?"

Aunt Chu suddenly smiled again.

"What?"

At this moment, Chu Xin is like a puppet who bears silently, and he can only passively accept the answer when the other party says anything.
