Chapter 421 The princess who fell out of favor
The next day, when the first ray of morning light entered the bedroom, the palace people discovered a shocking event!

That is, His Royal Highness ignored the Crown Princess!

The reason was that before dawn, the little palace maids who were watching the night discovered that the princess had woken up so early!

And when they went in with a basin to wash up, they found something even more surprising—this time, His Royal Highness did not wear shoes and socks for the Crown Princess!

Naturally, no one dared to directly discuss such explosive royal secrets, but it is human nature to inquire about secrets. In less than an hour, almost all the maids serving in the bedroom got the news.

"The Crown Princess and His Royal Highness are both in a bad mood, so be careful when you are on errands." The senior maids with a little seniority will kindly remind the young maids who are not experienced enough.

"Oh, I get it!" That day, the real little maid nodded her head like a dog, "Is it because the Crown Princess and His Highness the Crown Prince are quarreling again?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The eldest maid hastily pulled the little maid to hide in a corner, looked around and saw that there was no one around, then she lowered her face and warned: "I didn't tell you that the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness had a quarrel. I’m just telling you that the two of them are in a bad mood, and I want you to be smart when you’re on duty, and don’t come forward in a daze! Forget it, you go tell Aunt Suyu, and let her send you to the kitchen to boil water!”

"Then, that's all right!" The little maid was so frightened by the seriousness of the big palace lady that her face turned pale, she hurriedly slipped to the kitchen, and secretly passed the meaning she understood to the little sister she knew: "In the bedroom hall Sister Liu Ya, who was in charge of mopping the floor, told me that the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness have stopped talking!"

"What do you mean by not talking?" The little maid who was in charge of lighting the fire in the kitchen was stunned for a moment, then wiped her forehead, leaving ashes on her face, and asked, "Did you quarrel?"

"Shh! I didn't say that!" The little palace maid took a ladle of water, tiptoed to pour it into the pot, and said in a low voice to the little sister who was setting the fire, "You go to deliver water later, and you meet Yinbao and Jinxiu. , Be sure to be sweeter, or you will be taught a lesson by them!"

"Yeah! Thank you sister for reminding me!" The little maid who was making the fire grabbed a handful of bean stalks and stuffed them into the stove, then took a small fan and fanned herself. Seeing that the fire was burning vigorously, she grabbed Kong'er and chatted with her sister: "Tell me, does His Royal Highness have another woman?"

"You rotten mouth!" The one who fetched water took the water ladle and knocked on the sisters' heads, "We are all working in the princess' bedroom, so we can hope for the princess! Otherwise, we won't bother." Good day!"

"Oh, sister Douhua, can you be gentle!" the maid who was burning the fire mumbled, holding her head, "Didn't I just guess? The last time the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness quarreled, it was because of those twelve beauties ?"

"Hey! I don't know!" Douhua Hangchi Hangchi came over with a bucket of water, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "Anyway, we all need to be smart, don't get into trouble, it's serious!"

"Sister Douhua is right!" The little maid nodded again and again, and when she went to the firewood room to chop firewood, she told the news to the little sisters she was close to.

So, when it was time to eat breakfast, the news of "Prince Concubine falling out of favor", like the wind with long legs, had secretly swam through the entire Eastern Palace several times.

When it finally reached Jinxiu's ears, she was so frightened that she almost dropped the food box in her hand.

Carrying a heart, stepping on small steps quickly approached the bedroom, but saw that the door of the palace was ajar, and it was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Suyu shook her hand from a long distance, signaling her not to make a sound, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inside.

Jinxiu hurriedly slowed down her steps, and quietly stood beside Suyu. After seeing each other, she made a gesture and asked, "What's the matter with the Crown Princess and His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Suyu knew that Jinxiu was the concubine's dowry maid and her most important confidant, so she didn't want to show off, and said in a low voice, "Both of them are inside. Compared to the concubine, I feel even worse looking at His Royal Highness. .”

Jinxiu felt a "thump" in her heart.

His Royal Highness is in an even worse mood. Doesn't that just match the rumors spread by the little maid outside?
Doesn't it mean that my master has fallen out of favor?
She looked at Suyu in fear, and asked in the lowest voice, "Are you telling the truth?"

Suyu nodded solemnly, and looked at her with concern: "I guess it's making a fuss, so don't go in for now."

"Thank you, aunt." Jinxiu thanked again, but her thoughts drifted far away.

She followed her own lady all the way here, and she has seen Zhao Xiwei's journey is not easy.

Miss is now the time when her father doesn't love her and her mother doesn't love her. If she loses the favor of His Highness the Prince, wouldn't it make things worse?
Jinxiu sighed, thinking in her heart, it's time to persuade her young lady...

Husband and wife, sometimes turn a blind eye and close one eye, but get along more harmoniously.

At this time, the Crown Princess, who was considered by everyone to be out of favor, was being interrogated on the couch by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Why didn't you tell me about the relapse of the cold?" Li Xuanye rubbed her stomach with one hand and supported her shoulder with the other, so as to prevent her from wanting to run away.

Zhao Xiwei had no choice but to be trapped between his arms, looked up at him with a smile, and said, "I don't feel any pain anymore, do you still want to rub, Your Highness?"

Last night she was in a lot of pain, and she bit the quilt several times before she could make a sound.

Maybe it's the pain that makes people vulnerable, or maybe it's because of habit, she didn't fall asleep all night, waiting, waiting for him to hold her in his arms, and warm her frozen body with his palm as usual.

But he watched helplessly as the candle burned out, and a black golden color appeared in the sky, and he was still half a foot away from her.

Since he couldn't fall asleep, there was no reason to hold on.

She got up and called the maid to come in to wash up, and ordered someone to cook a bowl of medicinal soup.

During this period of time, she used two bowls of medicine almost every day, so the maid didn't think much about it.

But when His Royal Highness woke up and saw her drinking medicine, he frowned.No one knew better than him the medicine she drank, after all, it was all prescribed by him personally.

Just took it over and sniffed it lightly, her complexion changed drastically, she didn't even bother to fasten her clothes, so she took her into her arms, touched her forehead and squeezed her palms, seeing that she was a little cold, My heart tightened even more, and I hurriedly asked: "The cold syndrome has recurred?"

Zhao Xiwei endured the whole night, no matter how much pain and grievance he had, he had already digested it all.

She is not a fragile person herself, but she just thinks that he treats her very well, so she is awakened to the delicate side of her little daughter.

After such a night of helplessness and neglect, it seemed that Zhao Xiwei had returned to the beginning overnight, the Zhao Xiwei who had never frowned even in the rain and humiliation.

She quietly moved back half a step, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, I just took the medicine, and I'm fine now!"
