Looking at the back of Concubine Zhi’s hurried departure, Chu Nianhe finally felt relieved and bowed to Concubine Rou and said, “Thank you for your kindness to save me today. The officials will never forget the kindness of the Empress, and will definitely repay you in the future.”
“No need,” Concubine Rou’s face appeared on her face, and she took a few steps towards Chu Nianhe and the princess: “How can you describe such a small matter as kindness? Chu Huishi is too polite.”
After that, Concubine Rou’s eyes looked at the princess with her head down again, and said, “It’s nothing to meet Concubine Zhi today. She has always had a lot of thunder and rain, and she can’t startle any waves. But if you two meet others like this tomorrow, have you thought about how to get out?”
Although Rou Concubine’s voice was soft, it was loud and loud, which also touched Chu Nianhe’s heart. She knew that Concubine Rou was smart, and must have seen that the princess was standing behind her, so she said gratefully to Concubine Rou, “The ministers must remember the teachings of Concubine Rou.”
Concubine Rou nodded, and did not say anything more. She asked the palace maid beside her to support her and headed towards the direction of the Buddhist temple.
After experiencing such an accident, the princess and Chu Nianhe quickly returned to Bishui Pavilion, and were cautious along the way, for fear of meeting others again and causing trouble. Fortunately, the road ahead was quite smooth, and I returned to Bishui Pavilion safely.
When the princess and Chu Nianhe were both served by the palace maids, they changed their clothes. They ignored the magistrate’s magistrate’s couch and lay on the princess’ couch together, both sighing heavily.
“It seems that you can’t go out of the palace to see Mr. Lin again after the interaction,” the princess’s voice was a little lonely: “I don’t know if Mr. Lin will meet a woman next to me forgot.”
Chu Nianhe knew that the princess was very worried, so he comforted her softly: “Mr. Lin is very wise. Since she has agreed with the princess for life, she has no reason to wait for a long time. Besides, today is just an accident. If you make arrangements, the princess can still try to go out of the palace to see Mr. Lin again.”
“It’s not just because I met Concubine Zhi today,” the princess sighed, looking at the carefully crafted phoenix pattern at the window, and was stunned: “It just happened that I didn’t meet Mrs. Zhongyong and Mr. Lin’s second sister. If I met, I still don’t know how they would mock me behind my back. My identity as a princess is good, but it sounds ugly, even if it’s worse than a rural village woman, it’s just a burden.”
The princess said this seriously, but Chu Nianhe could understand the meaning of her words more and more. If he had a choice, Chu Nianhe also hoped that he could be born in the village in the countryside early in the morning. Although he was poor every day, he could at least stay away from the deep palace and back garden like a pool of sewage. One day, I will get married and have a child, and I will have the four words of peace for a lifetime.
Looking at the princess’s face, it seemed like a layer of mist was covered withAlthough Chu Nianhe wanted to persuade her for a few more words, she finally didn’t say it. If she had known that she would have carried so many thoughts because of this marriage, Chu Nianhe would rather have met Lin Yuan a few years later than she could live a leisurely life. Isn’t this a simple happiness?
In the days that followed, Chu Nianhe would accompany the princess to attend morning and evening classes every day, and accompany the princess to have meals and play chess with the emperor. For the rest of the time, she looked at the princess and sometimes she was sad, as if she was deeply trapped in love.
It was soon the day when Chu Nianhe was resting again. The princess had long written the words in her heart into a letter of affection, allowing Chu Nianhe to bring them to Lin Yuan when she left the palace. Considering that she was a woman, it was inappropriate to go to Lin Yuan’s mansion to find him, she went to the pharmacy first, explained to Zhou Ji happily, and asked Zhou Ji to send the letter to the Zhongyong Marquis’ Mansion.
