Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 21 Heartbreak
The moment when Baosi was blocked by Chonghua was exactly the same moment when Zheng Guoshi's son Dietu returned triumphantly from the front line and was summoned by Ming Gong. Neither the high-spirited Ming Gong nor the proud young Dug Tu paid attention at this time. The beauties with light make-up who overwhelm the country and the city are staring at them from the high platform of Chaoyang Palace.

"Princess, the way you frown makes Axi feel so sad, what's the matter?" Axi saw Baosi's small face, which was blue and purple, and couldn't help stepping forward lightly with distress .

"Master Jutu! It really is him!" Bao Si looked down at the vast Chaoyang Palace worriedly.

A few days passed, and there was still no movement. Jianjiaxuan's hourglass ticked like it was playing in the air, and a trace of fresh air descended happily from outside the thin curtain.

"Princess, Master Jutu has already returned to the Kingdom of Zheng." Seeing that Bao Si hadn't gotten up yet, Ah Xi tentatively touched the wind chime on the thin curtain, showing half a pretty face.

"Sure enough, he still forgot about me!" Bao Si stood up in the dark clothes awkwardly, staring blankly at the pendant swaying in the wind.

"Princess, don't be sad. I heard that Mr. Qutu has been fighting in the frontier. Perhaps he didn't even know that the princess was already in the capital." Axi comforted with a smile.

"Axi, only you are the best to me! Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry, maybe it will take time." Bao Si smiled at the cute Axi.

In the blink of an eye, time flies, and another month has passed, not only has there been no news from Jutu, even Emperor Minggong has never visited Jianjiaxuan, Axi began to despair: "Oh, princess, it seems that this year is not as good as last year. gone."

"Is it Miss Axi?" At this time, only the rustling of the thin curtains was heard, and Axi hurriedly turned around to look around, and saw that it was Chonghua, an official from the Queen's Palace, who came in with several court ladies.

"So it's Sister Chonghua, Ah Xi will report to the princess to accept the order." Ah Xi said with a grin.

"Axi, there's no need. I'm here this time to help your princess get out of the siege." As soon as Chonghua pretended to be mysterious, Baosi felt that the situation was not simple.

"It's Aunt Chonghua, if Axi is rude, Baosi will take care of it first, please advise me." Baosi hurried forward and said Wanfu.

"Princess, I have treated you badly during these days. I have come here specially to help you out. To be honest, the king's harem, the Sangong and Six Courtyards, and the three thousand beauties, the king was busy in the previous court. The government, so the king has no time to take care of this small Jianjiaxuan." Chonghua said kindly.

"Aunt Chonghua, what are you talking about? A few months ago, it was the king's will that our princess live in Jianjiaxuan. Our princess is acting according to the order." Axi wondered.

"Yes, but there are too many people in this palace. The princess has lived here for so long, and the king has never promulgated the title of princess, so the princess is still a beautiful girl without a title in the harem. Therefore, the palace There have always been people who have been angry and spread rumors, saying that your princess is not the master but occupies the master's palace." Chonghua deliberately emphasized his tone.

"Aunt Chonghua, our princess is the princess of Baoguo. She was born in a wealthy and honored family and has a distinguished status. Why isn't she worthy of living in Jianjiaxuan?" A Xi pouted, dissatisfied.

"Hey! Axi, let me forget it. Aunt Chonghua has been taking care of us for a long time. Since she said that today, there must be something hidden from her, so let's listen to Aunt Chonghua's orders." Bao Si tugged gently. Pulling Axi's clothes, he whispered instructions.

"Princess, I won't treat you badly. How about it? In the Zhenhua Hall of Chaoyang Palace, there are just a few deacon maids who are missing. You are reluctant to take up the position temporarily. When the king has time, he will take you back. Besides, This also just avoided the accusation of Imperial Concubine Jin, it really kills two birds with one stone." Chong Hua said with a mouth full of honey.

"Thank you, Aunt Chonghua, for your kindness, Axi, we are going to pack our bags and move out today." Bao Si turned to tell the aggrieved Axi.

Under the bright moonlight, Bao Si and Axi changed into dark and colorful palace clothes, and stayed in the maid's wing of Zhenhua Palace. Chonghua specially guided an old court lady to help them choose a bed.

"Princess, this is your temporary place to stay. If you have any questions, you can tell the old servant." The old maid stepped forward and saluted before leaving. Axi and Baosi slept on the bed, covered with thin cotton I was caught, and whispered: "Princess, it seems that we have been fooled. I thought that the empress queen in the main palace is very humane, but I didn't know that she is even worse than that Jinhuang Concubine."

"Axi, don't talk nonsense. We're new here, so it's better to be careful." Bao Si covered Ah Xi's mouth and advised.

"Hey! Which little hoof is whispering!" Suddenly, holding a lantern, an older aunt walked past each bed and asked one by one.

"It's me, I don't do anything about my princess." Axi hurriedly clarified, fearing that the vicious aunt would embarrass Baosi.

"Okay, you are a girl who just came, how dare you talk to me like that, get up and kneel outside for an hour!" Aunt became angry, and led a few maids to drag Axi up from the bed and dragged her outside.

"Hey, why are you so unreasonable!" Bao Si got anxious and got up to say hello to A Xi.

"Shut up, you are that girl's sister, how dare you meddle in the palace, get up, kneel there together, and learn the rules!" The vicious aunt reprimanded loudly.

"Hey, scoundrel, she is the princess of Baoguo, how dare you make her kneel?" Ah Xi blushed with anger.

"Shut up, there is no Princess Baoguo in the palace, there are only rules, since you are spoiled and spoiled, you must learn the rules even more, kneel down!" Not only did the aunt not stop, but she became more and more scolded.

Bao Si put on her coat, and reluctantly knelt down outside with A Xi, aggrieved.

The jade steps were cold at night, and because of the howling north wind, the dripping water turned into ice, and the two sisters knelt on the ground for more than three hours.

"Hey! Do you have any humanity? It's been three hours!" Axi protested loudly while asking Bao Si to lean on him for warmth.

"Shut up, if you are told to kneel, you will kneel, be careful to offend the superiors, and send you to the Department of Punishment."

"Oh, princess, hold on!" Ah Xi had no choice but to comfort Bao Si.
