Chapter 177 Yixiu. 17
"Sister has always only known poetry, songs, and romance. In the words of the prince, how can such a person understand these mundane affairs?" She closed her eyes slightly and snorted coldly: "Now, even if she wants to, she can't control it."
Yixiu turned aside and told Jianqiu to do something. Yixiu looked at her with a smile and said, "Be careful, don't let anyone know."
Jian Qiu smiled and stepped back, "Yes, I will arrange for someone to do it right away."
Huichun watched Jianqiu go down, and knowing that it was not her place to ask, she did not say much. Seeing that the tea on Yixiu's table had gone cold, she took it and went downstairs to change it for a cup.
Yixiu sighed softly and said, "Sister, you must take good care of yourself and don't die in a fit of anger."
The dead are the hardest to forget, especially when they are still in love, it will be even more unforgettable.
So Rouze must live. She wants to see how long the touching friendship between Yinzhen and Rouze can last.
Jianqiu was gone for a full hour, and only after it got dark did Yixiu ask someone to serve the meal.
Unexpectedly, Yinzhen walked in at this time, and Yixiu had to put down her chopsticks and greet him.
"I pay my respects to the prince."
Yinzhen asked her to get up as usual after hearing such a dry sentence. He hadn't received a smile from Yixiu for so many days. She didn't like it, but he insisted on forcing her.
He glanced at the dishes on the table and said, "Oh, the kitchen made old duck soup today. I'll have some too."
As he spoke, Yinzhen sat down shamelessly, not expecting the people in Qingyin Pavilion to prepare bowls and chopsticks for him. He saw Su Peisheng had already handed the bowls and chopsticks to him.
Then Su Peisheng went to serve him the soup attentively. After Yinzhen took it, he looked at Yixiu who was still standing and said in a normal tone: "Sit down, don't be restrained."
Yixiu was speechless. She didn't expect Yinzhen to be so thick-skinned, and such a long period of coldness had no effect on him.
She sat down silently, picked up her chopsticks and said to Yinzhen: "The food in my courtyard is simple, I am afraid that Your Highness will not be used to it."
"No, I am not a rich man who can only eat delicacies. Now, some home-cooked dishes will have a different flavor."
Yi Xiu smiled with a fake smile, "If your Majesty doesn't mind, then that's fine."
As she spoke, she began to eat, and only put down her chopsticks when she was 70% full. In the past, whenever Yinzhen came, Yixiu had to serve him properly, and only after he finished eating would she take a break to eat a few bites.
However, Yixiu was not the only one who did this. Even Rouze served Yinzhen in this way. So, taking care of Yinzhen in such meticulous manner was commonplace, and this was considered new now.
Unexpectedly, Yinzhen still didn't leave after dinner, and even suggested: "The moonlight outside is beautiful, Xiaoyi, would you like to accompany me for a walk to help digest the food?"
Yixiu looked at him and finally nodded in agreement.
The cold moon in the yard shone on the floor, and it was as bright as if a lamp was on, but Yixiu felt a little cold.
Yinzhen looked at the bright moon, then turned to look at Yixiu's face, which was even more holy and beautiful under the moonlight. He couldn't help but ask, "You still don't want to do it now?"
The two of them knew very well that Yixiu's reluctance to forgive him was ultimately due to the disappointment she had experienced over the years, and Honghui's previous illness was merely a trigger.
The long-term neglect is the real reason why Yixiu gave up.
Yixiu looked at Yinzhen. Under the cold moonlight, she also looked cold. "Your Highness already knows the answer. Why bother asking me again?"
If an apology could wipe out all the past, then what would she become?
Yixiu was infatuated with Yinzhen all her life, but it was not clear that Yinzhen had ever had any true feelings for her.
She was a woman who was crowned as queen, but she was not recognized as a wife by her husband.
But she was clearly the first one to be by Yinzhen's side, and everything was snatched away from her by Rouze.
It was Yinzhen who deprived her of everything she was supposed to have.
It would have been fine if she had known from the beginning that she was a concubine, but Yinzhen made such a promise. Since he gave her hope, why did he go back on his word and do such a thing?
Yixiu really didn't believe Yinzhen. His words were indeed not trustworthy. The promises he made when he was deeply in love might be forgotten by him after a while.
He loved Rouze, but he could tell her that he wished to be like this and see her day and night. He could also tell Nian Shilan that he only loved her. To Zhen Huan who came later, he could also say such high-sounding words that he would never let her down.
He achieved all these goals but failed to achieve them in one word. The women in the harem were used as political tools by him. He used her and later Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhen Huan to balance Nian Shilan. This is what those in power call love.
Now he is trying to please her in every way, but it is just because he is not used to the sudden change in her. He is really a scumbag and a despicable person.
Yixiu looked at Yinzhen, bent her knees slightly and said to him: "It's getting late. I'm sure the sisters in the backyard are already waiting for the prince. I'm not feeling well. You should go somewhere else."
Yinzhen held her hand and said to her in a deep voice, "Xiaoyi, I have already apologized. What else do you want from me? The whole palace knows how much I love you these days. What else do you want?"
"I don't want anything." Yixiu raised her eyes slightly, and compared with his anxious and angry look, she seemed extremely indifferent.
"If you say that the only thing I want is to live in peace in the palace and live my own life."
Yinzhen didn't expect that she would be so stubborn. He left in anger. Yixiu was relieved after watching him leave.
She had no interest in waiting on him.
Jianqiu looked at Yixiu worriedly. How could she just give up such feelings? She was just afraid that Fu Jin would keep everything in her heart, and what would she do if she got sick?
But Yixiu had no such concerns at all. When she returned, the palace had already been cleaned up. Yixiu leaned back on the couch and looked at Jianqiu.
"what are you worried about?"
"I am worried about Madam Fu-jin." Jianqiu massaged her shoulders. "Every time the prince comes, you drive him away. I am afraid..."
"If he really wanted to do something to me, he would have done it long ago." Yixiu didn't care about Yinzhen's attitude. "Don't worry, the emperor has just given me a title. If the prince doesn't want to anger His Majesty, he won't do anything to me. Even if he gets angry again, I'll be fine."
"Is this... okay?"
Yixiu patted her hands and reassured her. Although Jianqiu was now somewhat sophisticated, she was far from the Jianqiu of the later period. She still needed more experience.
Being sensible alone cannot satisfy her needs, she still needs to understand some things.
The main courtyard fell into deathly silence when people heard that Yinzhen had gone to Qingyin Pavilion.
Rouze tried to control herself from thinking too much, but she still couldn't control herself. Thinking that the prince would accompany Xiaoyi for dinner, Rouze couldn't eat anything.
"Fujin, please eat something."
