rebirth will be hard to find

A dedicated person is always in love, and a proud person like Chu Yi will never lie.Cheng Zian was a little moved, but when he thought of his identity, he wanted to say to Chu Yi: Your Highness, you should put more effort into it!

Of course, these words can't be said, not to mention how much it is against the heart, even if he really said it, Chu Yi might be so angry on the spot that he wished he could kill her alive!Naturally, Cheng Zian wouldn't do this kind of self-defeating thing, but she looked at Chu Yi's back, worried and inexplicably satisfied at the same time, she was even more entangled than before she didn't know about it.

However, Chu Yi didn't seem to be affected by these things at all. She stepped forward under the gradually hotting sun in the morning, and every step carried an indomitable momentum, as if she never hesitated or struggled.

How great would it be if he could be as magnanimous as her?

Cheng Zi'an suddenly had an impulse in her heart, and stopped in front of Chu Yi a few steps forward. With a serious face, she said to Chu Yi with an attitude many times more serious than before: "Your Highness, I have something I want to tell you something, I actually..."

Before Cheng Zian could finish speaking, Chu Yi suddenly reached out and covered her mouth with his hand, so the confession that had not yet been spoken came to an abrupt end.

Cheng Zian was surprised, she looked at Chu Yi with some doubts, but saw that Chu Yi frowned slightly, and she didn't mean to be joking.

Xu Shi saw the question in her eyes, Chu Yi let go of her hand, and reminded lightly: "Someone is here."

Cheng Zian was startled, and turned his head to see that a group of guards came out of the corner in front of him.With her hearing, such uniform footsteps shouldn't have been inaudible, but she was distracted at that moment, which made her mistake.Fortunately, Chu Yi covered her mouth in time, otherwise her secret would be no longer a secret if it got into other people's ears, and the Cheng family would really be in disaster.

Chu Yi stepped forward again as if nothing had happened, but Cheng Zian was afraid for a while, and the courage and impulse that had just arisen were vented in an instant.She didn't dare to say anything more, she pursed her lips and followed Chu Yi to continue walking towards the East Palace.

The two passed by the patrolling guards as if nothing had happened. The guards also saluted the princess in a proper manner. It seemed that Chu Yi stopped them in time, and they didn't hear anything.

Shi Shiran walked a long way again, and Chu Yi asked again: "What did you want to tell me just now?"

After the impulse passed, Cheng Zian remembered the burden on himself, and also remembered that this secret was related to the entire Cheng family.She is not qualified to tell others without permission, let alone gamble on Chu Yi's character with the wealth and lives of her mother and grandmother, so after looking at Chu Yi's back again, she finally replied dully: "No, it's nothing."

Chu Yi actually guessed what Cheng Zian wanted to say to her just now. If the other party really said it, then she could tell her frankly that she knew it and didn't mind.The monthly ginger syrup and blood-enriching medicinal meals were also specially prepared for her.

Unfortunately, the timing was not good, the sudden arrival of that team of guards interrupted Cheng Zian's words, and also added some twists and turns to their future journey.

The two walked all the way, and they were quiet all the way. It was not until they were about to go to the study that Chu Yi said again: "Now, you don't have to worry too much. You must have seen that Father doesn't like you, so whether it's for You are still for my own sake, and I will never admit to other people that I like you." Of course, if someone sees it, such as His Royal Highness, there is no way.

Hearing this, Cheng Zian was suddenly glad that the Cheng family was not welcomed by the old emperor, otherwise the old emperor might not have summoned her today, and would just follow suit and give her a marriage or something, her mother and grandmother would be scared to death.

*******************************************************************************

Everything that day seemed to be just a dream, and the days soon returned to calm.Except that Chu Yi no longer pretended to be innocent when teasing Cheng Zian, but looked at her openly, everything else was the same as before.

Li Jun went to Linzhi Hall again, and he returned the tired gold incense ball to Chu Yi in front of everyone.Chu Yi accepted it, but exchanged another token for Li Jun. Although there were some twists and turns in the covenant, it was still finalized.

At the end of May, Yan's envoys finally set foot on their way home under the scorching summer sun.

As soon as the envoy of the Yan Kingdom left, His Royal Highness, who had been preparing for many days, was finally able to show his hands.With a wave of his hand, the dismissal of the palace people began vigorously. Except for the old man like Liu Xi who had been serving the old emperor, everyone else was merciless.Even his own wet nurse, after giving enough rewards, arranged for someone to leave the palace and settle down.

The reason given by the prince was that the harem had a large number of people, and the expenditure was huge. The Huai River had to be built, and the household department was in short supply, so he had to take the lead in reducing one or two from the palace.The old emperor knew the reason, so he agreed without saying a word. For a while, the whole harem was full of complaints, but when the news spread to the palace, both the government and the public were full of praise, and by the way, he won a good reputation for the prince again.

When hearing this by chance, His Royal Highness just smiled casually and didn't care much.Because he does not lack this reputation, and besides these false reputations, what he has to bear is more pressure and trouble...

At noon that day, Chu Yi brought Cheng Zian, Li Lin, and a group of palace people out of the upper study room. On the way back to Linzhi Hall, he saw a beautiful woman in purple palace clothes leading a group of palace people in a hurry. Walked not far ahead.

Chu Yi quickly stopped when he saw it, and a group of people behind him also stopped.Li Lin glanced over there from a distance, then leaned close to Chu Yi and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, who is this? Is it the concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince?"

The East Palace has always been the residence of the prince, and it no longer belongs to the category of the harem, so the concubine would not come here normally.Apart from the princess Chu Yi, the woman living here could only be the prince's concubine, but they had never met the latter.

When Chu Yi heard the question, Li Lin gave Li Lin a blank look: "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense, and be careful to get into trouble. This is my brother's concubine, she is obviously the concubine in the harem... You don't even look at how old she is Already!"

To be honest, after women put on exquisite makeup, their age is really not so easy to guess!

Li Lin felt a little wronged and a little strange: "What is the concubine doing in the East Palace?"

"Of course I came to intercede." Chu Yi glanced at the group of people who had gone away. She stopped because she didn't want to go forward to salute. Dismissing the older palace people, and there is no queen in the harem, so the father and the emperor handed over this matter to the emperor's brother, so those concubines came here to beg for mercy."

Li Lin looked puzzled. He stayed in the house all day making models, so he didn't notice this at all.Besides, it's just dismissing some old palace people. As for asking the prince?

Cheng Zian, who was on the side, saw his doubts, and explained to him in a low voice: "All the palace people over the age of 35 are dismissed! I heard a few days ago that some palaces in the harem had too many people dismissed at once. There is no one to clean it." Besides, how come these concubines in the harem don't have a few older confidantes around them?And the older the concubines, the older their confidantes will be.

Li Lin was shocked when he heard the words, and almost imagined the scene of him sweeping the yard with a broom.But after thinking about it carefully, he muttered again: "No, it seems that there are not many people in our Qiyunxuan, and the yard is still clean."

Cheng Zian was suddenly a little embarrassed, she subconsciously glanced at Chu Yi's back in front of her, coughed twice before saying: "There are more young palace people in Linzhi Palace, so there are not as many dismissed people as there are in the harem, and the influence is also great." Not that big."

Of course there are fewer people in Qiyunxuan, and there are indeed more young palace people in Linzhi Palace, but it is impossible for all the palaces to be allocated to young palace people under the age of 35.A few days ago, Cheng Zian discovered that several older palace servants in Qiyunxuan had been replaced, and it was only a change. There was no difference in the number of people, and there were no shortage of people everywhere. That's why Li Lin never noticed.

Right now, the entire imperial palace is short of people. Even if there are not many people dismissed from Linzhi Palace, it is impossible that there will be no shortage, and it is even more impossible that people will be filled in such a short period of time.So this is a special kind of care, not very conspicuous, not very obscure, and those who should understand will naturally understand.

Obviously, Li Lin didn't understand, he believed it was true, he was only greatly relieved when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Then we are lucky, I thought we would have to sweep the yard of Qiyunxuan ourselves in the future."

Cheng Zian didn't answer the phone again, and he didn't meet any other concubines on the way, and the group walked back to the Linzhi Hall in a safe and sound manner.

As usual, Chu Yi took Cheng Zian and Li Lin directly to the side hall, where lunch had already been prepared.Chu Yi was busy with schoolwork, and they only had half an hour to eat and rest at noon, so these were prepared long ago.

Chu Yi took the seat first, and Li Lin and Cheng Zian sat on the left and right of her respectively.After sitting down, Li Lin looked at the table and smiled: "Steamed sea bass, three fresh tofu, steamed wax gourd with minced meat... what a coincidence, it's Zi'an's favorite dish."

Naturally, there were more than these three dishes on the dinner table. The small kitchen made a table full of delicacies for people to choose from, but these three dishes happened to be placed in front of Cheng Zian, and the word "you" in Li Lin's words was obviously also Some are meaningful.

Li Lin learned the lesson of being punished for copying "National History" last time, and he no longer dared to make fun of Chu Yi easily, but smiled teasingly at Cheng Zian.

Cheng Zian glared at Li Lin, and then looked back at the three dishes in front of him, feeling a little worried and helpless—His Highness has been acting more and more bluntly lately, does it matter if he admits something or not? !Also, since she has never revealed her preferences, how on earth does she know what dishes she likes? !

The author has something to say: Chu Yi (proud): I am chasing you, can't you see it?
