C66 (1/2)

Jin Chupei did not appear in the vicinity of Sun Mansion for a few days straight and the ban on Empress Dowager was finally lifted. There were naturally those who were happy and those who were worried. Yu Fei was short on seats because of the first day's greetings.

”I heard that Yu Fei is sick?”

Li Jingyu only smiled, she did not answer, but did not reply, her gaze sweeping past the concubines. She had clearly seen what the concubine had added, and it was most likely something bestowed by Yu Fei.

However, these people were here making up the plans for Yu Fei. She felt as if they were watching a play. To treat others like this before others, the later generations still didn't know how to treat them. However, the palace was a place of high honor, and she had long since gotten used to it.

Zhuang Fei just sat there silently, not participating in their discussion, and no one disturbed her freedom. She was the only special existence in the palace. The only existence that no one could ignore that didn't want to be pampered.

”How has Zhuang Fei been?”

Zhuang Fei seemed to have just noticed that the Empress Dowager was talking to her, and she nodded, her lips still not touching. He applied makeup lightly, just like an eighteen year old girl. She was the only woman that Li Jingyu was jealous of, but she was also the most helpless one.

”If you return to Empress Dowager, everything will be fine.”

Zhuang Fei was the only clear stream in the palace. She was not hostile to anyone, nor was she close to any force.

But most of the time, if such a person did not have deep thoughts, it was only because Jin Chuyi had protected him too well.

Li Jingyu nodded, she turned and listened to the concubines by the side teasing and making arrangements, the women in the palace were all waiting for a man to pass his days. It was unknown when this show would end.

After clamoring for a while, Li Jingyu made them all scatter, they were so noisy that even her head hurt.

Leaving the Weiyang Palace of the empress, a kind of concubine saw the Fourth Prince standing in front of the door. Zhuang Fei was the last to see her son. He pursed his lips slightly, but his footsteps were neither too fast nor too slow.

Lord Mo was like jade, a peerless young master.

Inevitably, there were some concubines that had just entered the palace who were already blushing when they saw such a handsome man.

Jin Chuxuan just stood quietly at the side, the purple-red imperial robes made his skin even whiter, with a pair of phoenix eyes which carried traces of enchantment, making it even harder for people to look away.

”childrens greets matriarch. Greetings Senior Servant Qing. ”

Jin Chuxuan immediately walked towards Zhuang Fei, bowed, and did not respond to his words. Instead, he stood to the side, closer to the Senior Servant Qing.

In his memory, the matriarch had never loved or hugged him. Even when he was young and was bullied by other princes, the matriarch would only punish him. It was the Senior Servant Qing who came to coax him, so he was naturally closer to the Senior Servant Qing in his heart.

”If there's nothing else, then childrens will be leaving the palace first.”

Zhuang Fei's expression slightly changed. This son of hers had always been like this, never getting close to her, as if she wasn't his mother after all.

These concubines were also shocked. They had originally thought that they would have someone to rely on in intrauterine, just because they had a son. However, seeing Zhuang Fei like this, everyone felt that she was somewhat sad.

Just as Jin Chuxuan was about to leave, royal father called for him, telling him to come to the palace to take a look at the matriarch. All adult princes had their own estates outside the palace, and unless summoned by the Emperor, they weren't allowed to enter the palace.

But this rule had no effect on him, but he could never get close to this matriarch. When he wasn't by his side, he would miss them, but when he saw the matriarch, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

”Aren't you going to stay at my intrauterine?”

Jin Chupei shook his head and then casually walked away. Only when that figure grew further and further away did those concubines turn around and look at Zhuang Fei.

Zhuang Fei's peerlessly beautiful face broke into a wry smile. By the time she wanted to put it away, it was already too late. Seeing the whispers of the concubines, Zhuang Fei finally lost her former dignity.

”Talking nonstop, aren't you afraid that your tongue will fall out?”

There were also some concubines who wanted to retort, but were pulled down by the people beside them, afraid that offending Zhuang Fei would implicate them as well.

Even though she was unwilling to accept the results, she lowered her head wherever Zhuang Fei's gaze passed.

As she no longer paid any attention to them, Zhuang Fei was supported by the palace maids as she took the lead in walking along the flower path, leaving everyone behind.

She knew that it was her fault that the Fourth Prince had treated her like this. If she hadn't hurt him so deeply back then, she wouldn't be like this right now.

A pained expression appeared on his face, but a look of hatred flashed across his eyes.

”Empress, don't hold back. There will be a day when this Fourth Prince understands.”

Senior Servant Qing was an old man who had followed by her side. He had helped her a lot, so he naturally could say something to her.

”I hope so.” She only hoped that it wouldn't be too long.

She sighed helplessly. Now was not the time for them to be close. Once her son achieved greatness, she would tell him everything. She hoped that when the time came, he would know that everything she had done was for his own good.

Now, if he wanted to hate her, then let him. However, as a mother, she didn't feel too good about it.
