Chapter 252 Nightmare
Uh...
Xia Zihan's face was full of black lines, so she had no choice but to tell Chu Cang to go back to Chu's house and bring her ten-foot-long curtain.
Seeing that Chu Cong was really gone, Princess Qinghui smiled excitedly and said, "Don't tell my mother and concubine first, let's give her a surprise."
The second princess has been planting chrysanthemums for many years, and she always wants to cultivate the three kings of chrysanthemums and bring them together.
But after years of hard work and effort, she only managed to cultivate six pots of black chrysanthemums and green peonies, but the ten-foot hanging curtain could never be cultivated.
Every time the second princess watered her beloved pots of chrysanthemums, she would always mutter a few words of regret.
Princess Qinghui had heard too much and knew how much her mother-in-law coveted and regretted the Shizhang Curtain, so when she heard Xia Zihan say that she had the Shizhang Curtain, her eyes gleamed.
Even if Xia Zihan didn't take the initiative to give it to her, she would take the initiative to ask for a pot.
A group of people walked for a while and found themselves in the chrysanthemum garden, a world of flowers.
The chrysanthemums that catch your eye are blooming everywhere, which is very dazzling. On both sides of the road are some common chrysanthemums, and some medium and high-quality chrysanthemums are arranged together into strange-shaped small flower beds for people to enjoy.
In front of each flower bed, there were many noble ladies and maids standing, admiring, talking, laughing and discussing.
As for the ultra-precious black chrysanthemums and green peonies, a circular flower bed was specially planned to be placed in the middle of the chrysanthemum garden, surrounded by a circle of high-grade handsome chrysanthemums, marigolds, and multi-headed peonies. chrysanthemum.
The flower bed was surrounded by a group of noble ladies, pointing and commenting on the six pots of chrysanthemums. After listening carefully, they all praised the chrysanthemums, the second prince's palace, and the second princess.
There were the most people here. When Xia Zihan and Princess Qinghui arrived, there was no room to stand.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, Chu Yu and I want to see too." Princess Qinghui pushed someone rudely and muttered arrogantly,
The noble girl who was pushed by her had an ugly face, and she wanted to get angry when she turned around. After seeing that the person who pushed her was Princess Qinghui, her face instantly changed from gloomy to sunny, and she said with a smile, "It's Princess Qinghui." , there are many people here, I will give you my seat.”
"Humph, what the hell, you still want to give in?" Princess Qinghui said in an inhumane manner.
That arrogant and arrogant face made the other party twitch the corners of his mouth in anger, but he dared to be angry and dared not speak out. He had to apologize with a smile on his face, "How dare you? Princess Qinghui said that I will not tell you. Master grab.”
"Hmph, if you dare to rob me, see if I don't tear off your face." Princess Qinghui glared fiercely.
The other party obediently stepped aside, looking at her with eyes full of fear and panic.
After occupying her position, Princess Qinghui smiled proudly, showing that she was not afraid of anything, and she was the most arrogant in the world.
Xia Zihan stroked his forehead.
Well, she finally understood that every time the little ancestor Mao went shopping, she would offend people and fight with them. It turned out that this was how she talked to people.
To put it this way, the way he treated her last time at Juxiang Tower was quite kind.
At least he didn't threaten to tear her face off.
But she actually knew that Princess Qinghui had always been fearless and would do what she said. If the noble girl really dared not to give up her position, Princess Qinghui would really reach out and tear her face off.
Princess Qinghui hurt people on the street, not just once or twice.
At this moment, Xia Zihan was extremely happy. Fortunately, the gift she prepared bought Princess Qinghui's heart. Otherwise, Princess Qinghui would not have cut her into pieces if she faced her with her temper.
Just when Xia Zihan bowed her head in silence, Princess Qinghui arrogantly pushed the other person away, dragged her forward, pointed to one of the pots of budding green peonies and said, "Chu Yu, Look at this pot. Although this pot is not as blooming as the two pots, this pot has been watered and grown by me. Look, isn’t the color beautiful, as green as the grass?”
How can the precious green peony be described together with grass?
The corner of Xia Zihan's mouth twitched, and she wanted to touch her forehead, but she still nodded, and said seriously, "The color is good, very bright, it was you who poured the water on it. As expected, it's just like you, it's all in bud."< br>
Princess Qinghui was not angry after hearing this, and thought her words were quite reasonable. She nodded hard and said, "Hmm, you can still describe it, unlike my brother Wang, who said that the flowers I grow are angry with Xiaojiazi. All the same, I’m not willing to open it up for everyone to enjoy.”
The budding flower bones looked like coy lips. Although they were not as eye-catching as the blooming flowers, they still had a different charm. Ao Tianchen compared them to being petty, and she was also drunk.
The two of them were discussing chrysanthemums. Princess Qinghui was so excited that she even forgot about showing off her clothes. However, her loud voice had already attracted the attention of the ladies around her.
After some noble ladies recognized her, they all rushed over and surrounded her. They greeted her with all kinds of greetings, which disturbed the two people's interest in admiring the chrysanthemums.
There was a noble girl wearing a pink double-breasted skirt. Relying on her high status, she actually pushed Xia Zihan away and squeezed in front of Princess Qinghui.
Xia Zihan wasn't angry either. He pursed his lips and stood aside silently.
But when Princess Qinghui saw it, she was very unhappy. Just when she was about to get angry, the noble girl noticed the colorful autumn robe on Princess Qinghui, and then said in amazement, "Qinghui, where did you buy this dress? It's so beautiful. , I want to buy one too. "The noble girl who can call Princess Qinghui by her first name is naturally familiar with Princess Qinghui. This person is Qiu Yuebi, the niece of the second princess and the third daughter of the Qiu family.
Princess Qinghui then remembered that she wanted to show off her clothes. She tugged on the shiny skirt and hummed proudly, "Chu Yu gave it to me. If you want to buy it, just ask Chu Yu." He actually forgot about the things he wanted to get angry about.
"Who is Chu Yu?" Qiu Yuebi was confused. She went through the noble ladies of the capital in her mind, but she didn't remember who Chu Yu was.
It's no wonder that Qiu Yuebi left the capital inexplicably for no apparent reason after attending the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet last year.
Later, everyone heard that she had gone to her maternal home.
Because her maternal home was far away, it took two or three months to travel back and forth to the capital, so she stayed there for more than half a year. It was her brother who sent her Feige a message saying that the second princess wanted to choose a younger princess for Ao Tianchen, so she became anxious. Hurry back.
However, due to the heavy rain this year, she was delayed for some time on the road. It was not until two days ago that she finally entered the capital and caught up with the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet at the Second Prince's Mansion.
Of course, she was not in the capital. When she came back, she was in a hurry to buy the clothes to wear at the banquet, so she missed all the big and small things that happened in the capital during the year.
He had long forgotten that there was still Chu Yu in the capital.
Hearing her rhetorical question, Princess Qinghui rolled her eyes impatiently, "The Princess of Chuyu County is the Princess of Chuyu County."
"Who is it?" She still couldn't remember.
"I heard that her grandfather was the deceased Mr. Chu Ge." Princess Qinghui reminded her even more impatiently.
As for who Mr. Chu Ge is, she doesn't know.
Qiu Yuebi thought for a long time before finally remembering that the emperor seemed to have made a Chuyu County Lord a few years ago.
"Oh, it's her." She curled her lips with disdain on her face.
The look on Princess Qinghui's face made Princess Qinghui unhappy, and she looked like she was going to fight with her, "Why, you don't like Chu Yu?"
"I didn't." Qiu Yuebi changed her face and shook her head.
She knew her cousin's temper well. If she saw someone displeased, she would slap him without saying a word.
She has had that temper since she could walk.
During the years when her cousin was three to five years old, she suffered a lot at the hands of her cousin. What depressed her the most was that when she was beaten, she couldn't fight back, let alone file a complaint, because her cousin's crazy revenge made her even more frustrated. She couldn't bear it.
I remember that one time when my cousin was just five years old, she couldn't understand her cousin's style, so she deliberately talked back, and she kicked her in the stomach.
Although her cousin was young, the fierce force was very strong. Her stomach was kicked as if it was broken, and it hurt for a long time. When she saw her aunt, she complained to her aunt, and her aunt immediately scolded her cousin. .
However, she only scolded her a few times, but did not punish her cousin. She was very dissatisfied and wanted to give her cousin a lesson in person, but the Second Prince's palace was so powerful that she couldn't afford to offend him.
She thought the matter would be settled like this, but when she left her aunt's house and passed by the back garden, she was gagged, tied up and thrown into a dark room where no one was living. In the dark woodshed.
At that time, her two eldest maids were also imprisoned. The three of them were hungry, cold and scared for a whole night.
That night was her nightmare.
The next morning, they were released by their mother-in-law, washed up, and threatened not to speak out, otherwise they would look good on her.
After realizing what her cousin was doing, she was frightened. After she returned to Qiu's house, she really didn't dare to file a complaint. However, she became seriously ill and had nightmares for half a month. At that time, her mother thought she was possessed by an evil spirit.
Later, it was her maid who told her mother the truth.
Her mother did not dare to offend the Second Prince's Mansion, so she swallowed her breath silently, and told her that the Second Prince's Mansion was the backer of the Qiu family, and her brothers' official careers also depended on the Second Prince's promotion, so the Qiu family could not offend the Second Prince's Mansion. She can't be against her cousin either.
At that moment, the eleven-year-old suddenly understood.
In her mother's heart, her daughter's face is not as important as her son's career. She was bullied by her cousin, and her mother even advised her to take a step back and let the big things become smaller.
She was very disappointed in her mother and felt very sad. From then on, she never mentioned being bullied by her cousin again.
Later, she didn't know how many soothing and nourishing medicinal soups she took, and she gradually stopped having nightmares and escaped from that nightmare. From then on, she never dared to come to the Second Prince's Mansion again, and never dared to see her cousin again. , later, after seeing her cousin's face, she was so moved that she couldn't help but step into the gate of the Second Prince's Mansion again after three years of absence.
