Chapter 16
Xunchun asked: "His Royal Highness, as the heir of a country, with such an honorable status, he will definitely be praised by everyone for guarding the palace in the first place, and he will live up to his reputation. Why does the princess say that he did something wrong?"

Chu Yi looked at Xunchun and Zhenxue in front of her. She knew that Zhenxue was smart and wise, and she was calm in her work. Many things could be understood without further explanation.

Xunchun is different. She is just an ordinary palace maid, with a simple nature. She has never thought about the twists and turns of the court and the harem.

Chu Yi lowered his eyes and asked, "Xunchun, in your heart, what is the relationship between the prince and his mother?"

Xunchun thought about it for a while, and said hesitantly, "The Crown Prince will greet the Empress every month. It has never been interrupted over the years. Although they are not biological mothers and sons, they should have a good relationship."

Chu Yi looked at Zhenxue again: "What does Zhenxue think?"

Zhenxue's expression was calm, although she was answering Chu Yi's question, she looked at Xunchun: "His Royal Highness was raised by the Empress, but since he was sensible at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he only arrived at the beginning of the month and the fifteenth day of the month. In the eyes of many people, their relationship has become much colder than before."

The same greeting, but in the mouth of pillow snow is another way of saying.

Xunchun was very surprised, Yuanyuan's eyes widened: "It's so, the servant just saw that His Royal Highness was concerned about the princess, thinking that he cared about the princess and the empress..."

"You're right, my brother does care about us, but he was protecting us in the wrong direction. He thought that he would be safe just by giving in. Or maybe, because of his indifference with his mother in recent years, uncle and the others no longer regard him as a family member. , he also mourned his misfortune in his heart, and was angry with him."

"Unfortunate, not to fight?" Xunchun was still confused.

Chu Yi touched Xunchun's bun, his red lips slightly opened, and his expression became more serious:
"Xunchun, I have to take a different path. This road is difficult and dangerous. I will give you two choices. One is to continue to be a maid of this palace and take care of my daily life as usual. You are still the first class of Weiyang Palace. Maid, after the age of 25, I will arrange for you to leave the palace, find a good husband for you, and keep you rich and honored for the rest of your life—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Xunchun had already knelt on the ground and said firmly, "My servant chooses the second one!"

Chu Yi smiled and said, "You haven't heard me say the second."

"The servants heard that what the princess is going to do is probably different from the stable days before, but since the princess said it was difficult and dangerous, how could the servants abandon the princess and just ask for her own safety and be a bystander!"

With tears in Xunchun's eyes, she knelt down and kowtowed.

"How can the master charge into the battle, but the slaves are greedy for life and fear of death? The slaves were saved by the princess. Without the princess, there would be no slaves today."

Xunchun said, thinking of many years ago.

When she was a child, on the streets of Shangjing, the princess took pity on her who had been betrayed by her biological father and brought her back to the palace for teaching. In my heart, I had secretly regarded the princess as a close relative.

"The slaves used to accompany the princess to study, so I was lucky enough to know a few words, and I still remember a poem, 'God pity the grass, the world is sunny at night.' Even the grass that has been beaten by wind and rain will get the rain. Ching's pity, princess, you are the one who made the slave maid rain over the sky."

Heaven is pity on the grass, and the world is sunny at night.

Chu Yi felt that she was not as good as Xunchun said. She just felt that everything in the world has its own reason for existence. There is no distinction between high and low, and the world is kind and cruel.

Just move forward.

She raised her hand to pull her up and said with a smile, "Fool."

Xunchun wiped away tears: "Anyway, the servant chooses the second one, what will the princess do, the servant will die! The servant knows that she is stupid, not as smart as Sister Zhenxue, and has no martial arts like Yinbing, but from today onwards, The slaves are willing to study hard with pillow snow, no matter what they learn, they will definitely be able to help the princess one day."

"Bengong won't let you use the words "don't give up". You, I will learn some accounting matters from Zhenxue in the future, and I will hand over the small treasury to you to manage it, okay?"

When Xunchun heard this, she was about to cry again, and Chu Yi quickly put a sour plum in her mouth.

At the end, Zhenxue snatched the plums from the two of them: "Plums hurt the spleen and stomach and cause physical weakness. Princess, eat less."

Chu Yiba snorted the taste in his mouth, and then explained the unfinished words before: "You said, those people in the court who are impeaching the Gu family and trying to pull the mother off the horse have ever thought about the weight of the mother in the father's heart?"

Zhenxue had the mind to be a female official in the court, and immediately understood: "Your Majesty's heart for the Queen, those courtiers will never understand, so His Majesty is on the side of the Gu family, and I hope His Royal Highness will do the same. "

At that time, the queen married the emperor who was still the king. He had no children for three years, and the position of the queen was unstable. In order to stabilize her position, His Majesty placed Chu Ye, whose biological mother died young, as his son-in-law. After he ascended the throne, he treated him equally. He made Chu Ye the crown prince.

Chu Yi said: "My brother is in charge of the Yulin Army as the direct son of the queen, and stands on the side of the Gu family, so that the Gu family can stop the decline. This is the purpose of the father."

Xunchun tried hard to follow the thinking of the two, and nodded dazedly.

Chu Yi knew clearly that even if the Gu family really quit the Great Yan Dynasty later, even if the relationship between the emperor and the empress was so cold that they didn't see each other for a year, her parents still had each other in their hearts.

Before the father died, the most worried person was the mother, and the mother chose to follow the father. This is evidence of the pain of the previous life.

"Your Majesty handed the Yulin Army to the Crown Prince in the hope that he can help the Empress..." Xunchun's mind flashed, and he finally understood everything.

"We Xunchun are not stupid at all," Chu Yi said, his eyes curled into crescents, "Of course, the emperor also hopes that he can rectify the Yulin army by the way, in short, not to be a guard on duty."

Chu Tingxiao handed over the Yu Lin army to Chu Ye, hoping that he could help the Gu family.

But in the end, Chu Tingxiao, Chu Ye, the queen mother, the Gu family...everyone chose to back down, thinking that this would resolve the dispute and calm the turmoil.

But this choice is wrong.

Without the Gu family, Dayan is like a plate of loose sand, without the wind blowing, it will be scattered in two steps.

As for Chu Ye, he was a qualified and perfect prince, and her beloved elder brother. However, like Chu Tingxiao, he liked to keep all his feelings in his heart and never revealed them.

When she was young, she also thought that Chu Ye was a dummy who was ruthless and cold-hearted, and his concern surfaced just like a cloak today.

Later, she saw Chu Ye hugging her mother's corpse, crying like a child, and being protected by him desperately.

Chu Ye said, Ben Gong is the prince and the elder brother, and he will definitely protect his younger siblings, even if he dies, he will die before you.

This time, he didn't have to die.

The elder brother has protected her for so long, it must be very tired. In this life, it is hers to protect the elder brother.

Some things Chu Ye didn't do, so she did it.

"It has to be Ben Gong." Chu Yi murmured.

Zhenxue: "If the princess is determined to get involved in the affairs of the officialdom and work hard, she should pay more attention to her own body."

Chu Yi said nonchalantly, "Bengong is now big—"

The hall suddenly darkened, and the next moment, a dull thunder sounded.

Chu Yi was shocked, stiffened, and abruptly held back the word "good".

Zhenxue has already reacted, and immediately closed the doors and windows, holding back a smile: "Princess, don't be afraid, it's just a thunderstorm, and the princess is doing well now."

"Bengong is not afraid!" Chu Yi coughed, telling himself that it was just raining, not that he would be flooded.

After a while, there was a rustling sound of wind and rain outside.

Chu Yi gritted his teeth, pursed his lips and said, "Bengong is weak and can't take care of herself, so I'd better go to bed first, and I'll call after dinner, when the emperor will probably also come."

"The slaves obey."

She saw the python robe and the cloak hanging beside her, and instructed: "Xunchun, you have someone to give the cloak back to the elder brother, and then give him two Mrs. Tang and Minoyi."

Zhenxue did not reveal the fear under the calm appearance of Chu Yi, and covered the bright window with a curtain: "The spring rain is cold, and this servant will add another pot of charcoal to His Highness."

Chu Yi's heart moved, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he saw the whistling sound of wind and rain outside the hall.

She is afraid of water, from body to heart.

Chu Yi had fallen into the water when she was young, probably because she was too young, and she couldn't remember the reason, nor did she remember whether it was a lake or a river.

This was because she heard from Chu Tingxiao after she was scared to cry by the sound of the rainstorm.

 "The will of heaven is pity on the grass, and the world is very clear at night." From Li Shangyin's "Evening Clear"
