Just now, the princess didn’t care about going up to see Chu Nianhe’s face. When she looked up, she saw her staring at her with a serious expression, as if she was a little scared.
The princess was a little embarrassed, so she took Chu Nianhe’s hand two steps forward and grabbed Chu Nianhe’s hand and said, “I didn’t mean it either. I know you’re afraid, so I’ll just not say you. Don’t think too much. This is the palace. I think he is so angry, so he has no ability.”
Listening to the princess’ words, Chu Nianhe felt that his heart was in a mess, and he nodded randomly and then said nothing.
When the princess saw Chu Nianhe’s appearance, she thought she was even more frightened. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and said to Lin Yuan, “I’ll take Nianhe back first, you can go back to Linlang Pavilion, it’s not good if someone finds you here.”
Lin Yuan nodded and said, “I should leave in two hours. If there is anything else, you can send someone to Linlang Pavilion to find me.”
His voice was gentle and low, and the princess felt at ease when she heard it. He nodded and took Chu Nianhe away.
Chu Nianhe followed the princess back to Bishui Pavilion in a daze. Seeing that she was still depressed, the princess sent someone to fetch water and brewed her a cup of thick hot tea. After helping her wipe her face and pouring the hot tea for her, Chu Nianhe seemed to have come back to her senses and her expression calmed down a little.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Princess
Looking at her with some concern: “I have never seen you have such a time before. No matter how big the matter happens, you will be responsible. Why did you just hear him say something, or did I say you unhappy?”
Chu Nianhe heard that the princess was really worried about her, but she had something to say, but she could only put it in her heart. Could it be that she could tell the princess that she was thinking of Yan Lichen’s eyes when she was about to execute her at that time, as ruthless and terrible as she was just like what she had?
No, she can’t say it.
After pondering for a while, Chu Nianhe spoke in the end, “Princess, I just saw the Seventh Prince telling you to marry me to him, so…so I was afraid…”
She was telling lies, but the sorrow and confusion in her eyes were true. When the princess saw her, she only thought she was telling her true words, and said with a smile: “What a stupid child, how could I agree with his request? I said just now that he has married your sister. If he wants to marry you, it is to oppose the rules set by his father. Don’t think about it.”
Chu Nianhe looked up at the princess’s concerned eyes. Although she really wanted to tell her what she was thinking, she thought that even if the princess believed it, it would be a burden to her. Thinking of this, she had to give up.
The days ahead will be peaceful. Since the emperor reconciled with Concubine Rou, he often went to Concubine Rou’s palace to see her. If he was busy, he would also use a car.He took Concubine Rou to the Zhengyang Palace in front of him. Gradually, Concubine Rou and Concubine Mi were able to share the spring scenery in this palace. Apart from the practice of full moon in fifteen, the emperor rarely went to the queen’s palace and rarely summoned her to meet.
The queen naturally felt uncomfortable and often got angry in the palace. However, after Concubine Zhi was demoted, the matter of managing the Six Palaces became vacant, and soon returned to the queen. The queen was somewhat comforted when she held this authority.
About half a month later, it was time for the emperor to visit the border town every year.
In the past, on such occasions, the emperor brought the queen and several favored concubines. But this year, because Yan Liqing had not returned from the battlefield, most of the elites in the palace had gone, so the emperor ordered the queen to take charge of the harem in the palace, and he only brought some elites and some people who served him.
Before leaving, the emperor summoned the princess over and said that it was almost time for the princess to leave the palace, so that she could be content with her own self-discipline and not make any nonsense. The princess didn’t have to think about it, but the emperor was worried about the conflict between the princess and the queen and didn’t just make the decision from the side. After thinking about it, the princess acted coquettishly and said, “Father, don’t worry. Even if the queen bullies her daughter, there is also Concubine Rou and Concubine Mi making decisions for her daughter, it doesn’t matter.”
The emperor pretended to be angry and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. The queen is the queen after all, you have to respect her.”
