The maid Dongmei knew that her princess was feeling uncomfortable and did not dare to speak along the way until she returned to Yong'an Palace and served Xiao Yurao after washing up, she brought her a cup of stomach-warming ginseng tea and whispered: "Princess, I know that you are in your heart."
It’s not good, but don’t let your body get through!”
Xiao Yurao asked her to put the ginseng tea aside, spread the rice paper on the table, and asked Dongmei to grind the ink for herself, as if this was the only way for her to forget Gao Yang's sadness for favoring others!
"Princess, it's dark. You'd better go to bed earlier. It's not too late to write when it's dawn!" Dongmei hurriedly advised.
Xiao Yurao ignored Dongmei's advice and just ordered lightly: "Dongmei, grind ink!"
"Princess, the light is too dark. It's not good for your eyes to practice calligraphy at this time..." Dongmei still stubbornly persuaded.
Xiao Yurao looked up at Dongmei, as if she had made up her mind to practice calligraphy tonight to go through the hard times: "You don't want to grind ink for me, I'll do it myself. If you are tired, go and rest by yourself!"
That posture made me feel unwilling to go to bed.
Xia He, who had just changed a pot of hot tea, saw this situation and hurriedly went forward: "Empress, how can you make such swear words by yourself? I'll grind the ink..."
Xiao Yurao handed over the ink grinding to Xia He. While grinding the ink carefully, Xia He looked at Dongmei. Dongmei winked at her and told her that the princess was in a bad mood.
Xia He actually realized just now that Xiao Yurao was in a bad mood, otherwise she would not have to practice calligraphy after dark!
She had not followed Xiao Yurao to Yuanpin Palace before, but her master was in a good mood when he went there, but when she came back, there was a faint cloud of sorrow locked between her eyebrows, as if she was enduring something, and she had already guessed the reason why Xiao Yurao was in a bad mood!
Now that Concubine Yuan is injured, the emperor will definitely ask Concubine Yuan’s well-being. I am afraid that he will stay overnight with Concubine Yuan and let Concubine Yuan be favored!
Her master had a good relationship with Yuanpin, but no matter how affectionate he was with his sister, he could not help but watch the man he loved deeply and pamper other women...
Everyone sees the emperor's good deeds to his master, but who can know how long this good lasts? Perhaps even the master himself is not sure about how long it will last!
When Xia He thought of this, he slowed down his ink grinding and said slowly: "Empress, the emperor cares about your feelings. If you are unhappy, you might as well speak to the emperor for a blunt statement!"
Xiao Yurao's hand holding the brush shook, she was silent for a moment, shook her head and smiled bitterly, "What can I do if I say it bluntly? Do I really want to be like a jealous woman and not allow him to favor other women?"
Xia He was stunned. He didn't expect that the master would use that word to describe him. Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Yurao spoke again: "This day will come sooner or later, Gao Yang has never been me alone... If I am unwilling to accept it, in the end I will only
I will fall to the same as my mother, because I am jealous of the women in the harem, and do not neglect the means and finally destroy myself! That is not the result I want, and I don’t want to make myself that way!”
"Princess, don't say that!" Dongmei only felt that it was too unlucky for the princess to mention Concubine Lu, so she quickly stopped Xiao Yurao from continuing to talk.
"Princess, you are kind-hearted and completely different from the Imperial Concubine!"
Xiao Yurao sighed, but said nothing more and continued to lower her head to write.
