C102 Subnode (1/2)
From the flowers, one could see the sadness of the women in the palace. No matter how beautiful they were, in the end, they still needed the pity of the beauties, and no matter how brilliant the flower blossomed, there would always be a day when they would pass away.
Yan Xiaoxi held onto Liu Zhixue as they walked in the pavilion, followed by two rows of palace maids.
”Is the secondary wife tired? I might as well go to the pavilion and rest. ” With that, Yan Xiaoxi ignored Liu Zhixue's opinion and pushed her towards the pavilion.
Behind him, the palace maids looked at Yan Xiaoxi in astonishment. The imperial concubine was pregnant, so what if Princess Lin hurt the child with such a crude action?
”Alright.” Liu Zhixue did not have any intention of blaming Yan Xiaoxi, showing her understanding of the situation to the fullest.
The moment she sat down, Yan Xiaoxi picked up the pastries on the table and started eating.
”Is little sister wangfei very hungry?” Liu Zhixue asked with a smile.
”Yeah.” Yan Xiaoxi continued eating her food without even glancing at Liu Zhixue. She wanted to sit here quietly and wait for Nangong Lin to arrive.
”Eat more.” Liu Zhixue pushed all the plates in front of her to Yan Xiaoxi.
Yan Xiaoxi was no longer polite. She ignored Liu Zhixue and continued to eat.
”Little sister wangfei, are Miss Liu and I really that similar?” Liu Zhixue did not mind Yan Xiaoxi's apathy as she took the initiative to find a topic to talk.
”Yeah.” Yan Xiaoxi agreed.
”Other than his appearance, what other things do he look like?” Liu Zhixue continued to ask.
”Shameless.” Yan Xiaoxi said softly.
Face? Liu Zhixue looked at Yan Xiaoxi in astonishment. She did not understand the meaning behind her words? ”Can it be that his face is referring to his appearance?”
Yan Xiaoxi gave a faint smile, then added, ”It's just as thick.”
”You …” Liu Zhixue was just about to lose her temper when she clenched her fist tightly. She suddenly realized her current status and could only forcibly swallow all of her anger into her stomach.
She continued to wear a faint smile as she said, ”Little sister wangfei sure knows how to joke around.”
”Does the side concubine think this joke is funny?” Yan Xiaoxi was not planning to expose Liu Zhixue either. She wanted to see what tricks Liu Zhixue was trying to play.
”Hur hur, it's quite funny.” Liu Zhixue let out an awkward laugh.
”The secondary wife's laughing point is really low.” Yan Xiaoxi teased.
”Yeah.” Liu Zhixue suppressed the anger in her stomach and kept her calm as she looked at Yan Xiaoxi.
Yan Xiaoxi looked at Liu Zhixue who was trying her best to hold back her anger. She felt that Liu Zhixue was both pitiful and laughable. She suddenly asked playfully, ”Does the imperial concubine think that the crown prince is using you as a substitute?”
”How could that be? His Highness the Crown Prince treats me very well.” After saying that, Liu Zhixue rubbed her belly. Her expression and actions seemed to be showing off to Yan Xiaoxi. She was about to become a mother.
She had been married to Nangong Lin for such a long time, yet there was no reaction.
To women, children were a gift from heaven. In the royal family, they became a bargaining chip and a solid chess piece.
Yan Xiaoxi could imagine the future fate of Liu Zhixue's child, and she couldn't help but feel sad for her life. Whether it was luck or misfortune that was born into Liu Zhixue's stomach, glory and wealth might be endless, but it was also very arduous. In a commoner's house, coarse tea and light rice were filled with deep love, and all of these were things that could not be experienced in the Imperial Palace.
”It's getting late, it's time for the secondary wife to rest.” Yan Xiaoxi was no longer in the mood to stay with Liu Zhixue.
”What is it? Did this wangfei prick the sore spot of this wangfei's sister? ” Liu Zhixue blinked innocently, not knowing what to do.
