The Second Marriage of a Passionate Monarch: Princess Chongxi

Chapter 68
Zhixi has been in the palace for many years, and many habits cannot be changed.For example, slaves and servants who opened and shut their mouths, and another example, when eating, they dare not sit with the master, but just stand beside her to see what she needs.

"Zhixi, sit down quickly, if you're like this, my mother and I won't be able to eat." Wei Young pulled her to sit down, but the girl swayed and refused.

Wei Young was helpless, "Aren't you hungry? This is not a palace, there are not so many rules. Besides, my family is not a big family. Look, it's just me and mother. Why do you need to serve me? Sit down and eat, why don't you eat?" Maybe it’s because they don’t think the simple food is delicious!”

The provocative method really worked, Zhixi sat down immediately, although she was still a little cramped, but this is a good start, isn't it?
Mrs. Tong cleaned up a room for Zhixi, and after Wei Young helped her apply the medicine, she settled down to live in her. It felt like Zhixi was a young lady, which made her feel embarrassed.

When the two of them exited the room, Mrs. Tong said, "Tianqi sent a letter."

"Really?" Wei Young didn't believe it.

"Mother is so old, I can't lie to you, stay in your room, go back and read for yourself." As soon as Mrs. Tong's words fell, Wei Young hurried back to her room, there was a letter on the pillow beside the bed, and she opened it Look, but there are only a few numbers: everything is fine, don't read.

"Is that the end?" Wei Young looked at the back, unexpectedly there was no words, neither where he was nor when he would return, but the sentence "don't say it" made her miss him even more.

Ever since Zhixi came to the house, everything has been tidied up. Before Wei Young opened her eyes, the washing water was already prepared.After she finished washing, Zhixi would dress her and comb her hair. Even though Wei Young said that she was from outside the Great Wall and was not a rich lady, Zhixi was still unambiguous at all, serving Wei Young with more dedication than serving Concubine Li.

Zhixi knows how to comb a lot of hairstyles, not only does Wei Young look beautiful, even Mrs. Tong likes her hair comb, and keeps praising the girl for her ingenuity.

On this day, the fifteenth day of May, so fast, three days later, Su Qingning will be Princess Chen.I heard from Zhixi that King Chen is very handsome, joined the army at a young age, has both civil and military skills, and is the sweetheart of many famous ladies in the capital. This time Su Qingning married him, I don't know how many people are jealous!

After listening to this description, Wei Young gave An Yunhao a big "Bah".She didn't think An Yunhao was good, but her sister Qingning, Yanjing's number one beauty, who was good at singing and dancing, elegant and generous, was really not worthy of that dead mouse.

After thinking about the people she knew, she thought the prince was pretty good.Wen Wenya, and Su Qingning, who is as gentle as water, is not a good match, but it's a pity, hey!

"Miss, why are you sighing so well!" Zhixi poured a cup of tea for Wei Young.

Wei Young lay down on the table, saying regretfully, "In three days, Sister Qingning will marry King Chen."

"Isn't it good, a man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance, a match made in heaven!"

"I'm not saying it's bad, but I'm thinking, put King Chen and the crown prince together, the crown prince is obviously better, and the queen mother also tried her best to make it happen, why does Miss Qingning like the domineering and rude An Yunhao?"

"Isn't there a saying that radish and cabbage have their own preferences? Maybe Miss Su likes someone like King Chen, she thinks they are more masculine!"

"What about you? Zhixi, you said I'll choose for you, do you choose King Chen or the prince?" Wei Young suddenly became gossipy.

Zhixi was taken aback for a moment, then at a loss, "I, I"

"Is it right to choose the prince? I can tell from the way you hesitate." Wei Young teased.

Zhixi looked embarrassed, "Miss, stop joking, it's okay to spread it to the ears of outsiders."

"So what, it's just talking, it's me, I also choose the prince, not to mention how many times better than that King Chen."

"Okay?" Zhixi suddenly smiled bitterly, "If a man can't even protect the woman he loves, does Miss still think he's good?"

Wei Young was speechless, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

It's not that she hasn't heard the rumors about the prince. She heard, and only heard, that he once fell in love with a court lady. It was originally a small matter of love between children, but it happened to be about the prince.If the crown prince wanted to marry a court lady as the crown princess, anyone would take it as a joke, not to mention the empress did not agree, even the queen mother intervened and imprisoned the court lady.Unexpectedly, the prince actually rescued her, left the throne of the country and ran away with her.For a time, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.

Such a prince is too affectionate, it can be said that he is an enemy of the world for a woman.It looks really silly, but Wei Young was moved, it's not a stupid thing, in her eyes, the prince is more romantic and brave than anyone else.

Who wouldn't want to have such a man who is desperate for himself!
It's a pity that the ending of this love is so tragic that it makes people suffocate.

One day, after only one day of fleeing, the prince and the maid were arrested.The emperor wanted to abolish the prince in a fit of anger, but the maid said that she had seduced the prince herself and had nothing to do with him, so she hit the pillar and died on the spot to wash away her sin.

In the end, although the prince was not deposed, he was imprisoned for three years.

Thinking of this, Wei Young felt uncomfortable in her chest, "Zhixi, you have been in the palace for so many years, you say, why is that maid so stupid, she doesn't have to die, she can, she can."

Wei Young wanted to find a reason for her not to die, but, but, couldn't find it.Even if she does not commit suicide, there is only one dead end.

"She's not stupid, she's stupid! As a court lady, she has to keep her duty. How can she like her master? The old people often say that the family must be right, and it seems right."

"Zhixi, do you know her? That court lady? I see that you and the crown prince seem very familiar, you..."

"It's really a great misfortune to be acquainted with the prince. Although the question just now is a bit disrespectful, if I let the slaves choose, it will only be King Chen!" Zhixi said, getting up and saying, "The clothes I changed yesterday are still I didn't wash it, I'm going now..."

"Zhixi, who is she? I really want to know."

"Her name is Zhirou, my sister! We used to...were both palace servants of the Taiwo!"

"Sister!" Wei Young was shocked, but Zhixi walked out, her seemingly stubborn back was full of desolation.

She always felt that Zhixi was too indifferent, but when seeing her only relative die before her eyes, who would be enthusiastic?
In the yard, Zhixi was fetching water to wash clothes, Weiyang stood at the door, watching her thin arms lift a large bucket of water.In normal times, that's Gao Tianqigan's job.

Wei Young couldn't help feeling sour, she stepped forward to help Zhixi carry water, she didn't refuse, she had the gesture and smile that a court lady should have on her face.

She is only 17 years old, only one year older than herself.However, she was so transparent that she didn't look like a girl, her maturity made her feel distressed.

"Chanjuan just came here in the morning and said Miss Su was not feeling well today, so she won't go to Wangchen Temple to fulfill her wish, and change it to tomorrow." Zhixi acted like nothing happened.

"Oh." Wei Young replied, still thinking about the prince.

"Miss Su doesn't seem to believe in Buddhism, but the Queen believes in it. There is a temple in the palace. She doesn't have to go out of the palace. She makes a wish on the first day of the new year. If it comes true, she will go to fulfill the wish on the fifteenth day. If the wish is not fulfilled, the Buddha will blame her. What you wished for before will be lost immediately."

"It's not so evil. If you believe in this thing, you will have it. If you don't believe it, you won't have it. Sister Qingning doesn't believe it. If her future mother-in-law didn't believe it, she probably wouldn't want to go tomorrow. People are busy with life-long affairs, so how can they have time to go to the temple to worship?" What Bodhisattva?"

Wei Young was talking about Su Qingning's marriage, suddenly remembered her dowry gown, pulled Zhixi and said, "Don't wash it, come, let me show you the clothes Sister Qingning gave me."

It was a pink dress, Wei Young put it on, and twirled it around like a butterfly, "How about it, I think this color is really nice, unlike some clothes, which can only be worn for happy occasions, just wear it Just once."

"It's elegant enough." Zhixi looked at Weiyang thoughtfully.

"Don't you think the pink color makes me appear more delicate?" Wei Young asked stinkingly.

Zhixi still didn't give face, "Miss, why do you want to be delicate, you are not a delicate person! But if it is bright red, this dress will be beautiful!"

"Big red becomes the bridal gown, you girl, you're really confused." Wei Yang scowled.

"The bridal gown is not bad either, you will have to wear it sooner or later."

"You have to wear it!"

"Aren't you married?"

"Oh, Zhixi!" Wei Young's face turned red, and Zhixi suddenly leaned forward and asked, "You don't think about His Highness Ming Yi, do you, the princess is still angry, you..."

"Who is he? Who would miss him?" Wei Young refused to admit it, Zhixi pulled up her messy hair and said casually, "It's fine if you don't think about it, you are not suitable."

"..." Wei Young was a little unhappy, why didn't she like them?

"Then tell me, who is the most suitable for me?" She asked angrily.

"This Zhixi can't say well, but there is a saying, don't you like to be an enemy. This enemy, an enemy, how can you be an enemy?"

Zhixi seemed to have something in her words, and Wei Young didn't bother to speculate. She lay down on the bed, her freshly combed hair was crushed again, "I have no enemies in my life, only nemesis! The number one is Gao Tianqi, oh no, An Yunhao also counts, as well as Zhao Shouchou, Princess Ziwan...ah, my head hurts, why is life so hard, with so many enemies..."

Because she remembered that she would accompany Su Qingning to fulfill her wish when she was sixteen, Wei Young didn't dare to sleep too much, so she got up early and finished her clothes.She always likes bright colors, but today she is going to the temple, Zhixi helped her choose a white gauze dress.

The wind blew early in the morning. When Su Qingning came, she was still wearing a cloak. The aqua blue cloak made her look smart and delicate.She also brought a gauze scarf, one is the wind and sand, and the other is it is too beautiful to go out, it is really not a good thing.

After entering the room and taking off the cloak, I realized that Su Qingning was also wearing a white gauze skirt today, but she was so beautiful in white, even more beautiful than a fairy.

"Is this a tacit understanding?" Su Qingning smiled and pointed at their clashing shirts.

Weiyang smiled innocently, she didn't think there was anything wrong with bumping into a shirt, on the contrary, it reminded her of Lan Luo and Li Fei, and she couldn't help feeling envious.How nice they were at that time, they wore the same clothes, so they looked like sisters.

"Put on a cloak, it's windy outside." Su Qingning said with concern, and Zhixi obediently put on a purple cloak for Wei Young. Although she felt it was in the way, she still wore it.

"Let's go!" Wei Young replaced Chanjuan and supported Su Qingning, "Did you feel unwell yesterday? Then, is there any way for Dr. Du to cure it?"

"He said yes." Su Qingning coughed twice, "But I'm still dispensing the medicine, so I have to wait. God knows how long it will take. The weather is bad and I feel uncomfortable. It's really useless."

"What are you afraid of if the weather is not good, we will accompany you and support you!" Wei Young comforted, and walked out of Tong's residence with her.

There were two carriages parked outside. Besides the two drivers, the other four tall men should be guards.When the daughter of the Su family went out, she was always protected by Tuan Tuan.

Even if it's going to the toilet, Chanjuan will follow her, even Su Qingning's side can never be without people.

Wei Young supported Su Qingning into the carriage, she turned her head to look at Zhixi behind, and said anxiously, "That must be Concubine Li's person!"

"Yes!" Wei Young nodded with a smile, and signaled the coachman to set off.

The wheels rolled, Su Qingning frowned, "You are short of girls, there are many in my house, how can you want people from Biyun Palace?"

"how?"

"Don't you know that she and the queen are at odds?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

"It doesn't matter, you are my sister, we are all the empress's people, we have to draw a clear line with Concubine Li."

"Sister Qingning, you haven't married yet, and you're helping your mother-in-law talk so soon!" Wei Young teased her, "You really don't want to keep girls!"

"Yangyang, what are you talking about!" Su Qingning blushed, but Weiyang laughed heartlessly.
