With Gu Chang’an here, Concubine Jing was not worried that the prince would cry, so after he was struggling, he didn’t return to Xianfu Palace until noon. At the same time, he also brought Hui’s daughter, Princess Ning’an.
Ning An and the prince are of the same size, but she looks very thin and not as strong as the prince. She should have been living a bad life in Chonghua Palace.
Seeing her originally rosy face, but now she was a little pale, both Concubine Jing and Gu Changan felt very distressed.
Concubine Jing looked very angry. As soon as she came in and saw Gu Changan, she immediately scolded: “Those people are really too much. Changan, do you know how I used to be like when I was in the past? Ning An was lying alone in the cradle, crying so hard that she was crying, but no one paid attention to her, so she made me feel very distressed when I saw it.”
As if thinking about the scene at that time, Concubine Jing’s face became even deeper.
After hearing her words, Gu Changan felt very distressed. After handing the prince in his arms to the nurse beside him, he hugged Ning An in his arms.
Ning An looked a little weak, her eyes were slightly squinted, not even as lively as they should be at this age.
The last time Huipin saw her, she was still fine and lively, which made Huipin feel much more relieved. Unexpectedly, she became like this in just one day. I am afraid that during this day, everyone in Chonghua Palace thought that her biological mother Huipin lost power, and she cried so hard that she also lost power, so she ignored her.
She is still such a young child, how could those people bear to treat her like this? If Huipin saw her now, she would not know what she should be sad.
Concubine Jing seemed to be unhappy and continued to vent, “You don’t know where I went. When I said I wanted to find Ning’an, those people were so scared that their faces changed and hesitated for a long time before taking me to see Ning’an. Unexpectedly, they didn’t give Ning’an food. Ning’an was so hungry that she cried directly. The palace maid around her pinched her with dissatisfaction. Although the palace maid had already punished the palace maid to the washing room, the palace was still angry. I still couldn’t vent it.”
Concubine Jing became more and more angry as she spoke. Her always calm mind had disappeared without a trace. She didn’t know what to do, so she had to sit down and ate two sips of cold tea. Then she felt relieved.
Gu Changan felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He didn’t understand why people were so cold and weak. Such a young child could bear to take such a move.
In a trance, Gu Changan felt that he did not understand the worldly ways, so he could not understand what others did.
Looking at the child in his arms with distress, Gu Changan said lightly: “The people in the palace are really affectionate. Sister Fang had an accident yesterday, and Ning’an was abused like this today. Ning’an is after all the emperor’s child. Are they really not afraid of the emperor’s pursuit of this?”
These words seemed to be asking themselves again, and they were also asking Concubine Jing. She didn’t understand that even if the adults really did something wrong, the children were always innocent, so why would they be willing to attack such a young child.
Sighing slightly, Concubine Jing calmed down and said, “This is very simple. Since ancient times, children have been prosperous and both prosperous and damaged with their mothers. Now Huipin has been demoted to an official woman and is confined to Yonghe Palace. Those people think that she has not made a debut, so they will naturally be scruples when doing things. Besides, Ning An is a girl. If she is a boy, those people may be better to her. This is the cruelty of the palace. If you become the emperor’s concubine, you must adapt.”
She could see that Gu Changan was really soft-hearted, not pretending, but such a sinister palace cannot survive. Even if you don’t have a certain degree of iron-blooded skill, at least you must learn to look at everything coldly.
Gu Changan didn’t know what to do and how to go on this road, but she understood that she would not change herself, she just wanted to be herself.
Looking at the pitiful child in her arms, she said, “Empress, let’s find an imperial physician to see you. Ning An is so sad.”
