Translator: 549690339
Previously, Princess Xuancheng had seen her cousins, including her aunt, the wife of the second branch of the Xi family. Every one of them had taught her not to cry and to endure it.
They had to think of a way to get their father’s pity so that the siblings could have a good life.
Every one of them was helping her to come up with ideas on how to maximize the benefits. Her mother was dead, and it was as if she had to take advantage of the fact that the tea had not yet cooled and take the opportunity to obtain benefits from her father. In the future, her situation would be even more embarrassing.
They had considered all aspects for her, but no one had considered that she was only a twelve-year-old girl. She had just lost her mother, and she had lost the entire world.
Only Lady Xiao was different. She only made her cry.
The princess of Xuancheng seemed to have been turned on by some mechanism. She hugged Xiao Baoxin and began to cry. At first, she only sobbed, but later, she cried silently.
Xiao Baoxin gently hugged Princess Xuancheng, feeling a strong sense of sorrow and desolation from her.
The palace maids and eunuchs had long been chased out of the room by Princess Xuancheng. They could hear Princess Xuancheng’s cries from the door. A few people with shallow eyes also wiped their tears. Only the head palace maid Su’e had a cold face. She told them to close their eyes and then chase them out of the door. She ordered them to block outside and not let anyone in. When the news of Princess Xuancheng crying in Xian Yang Hall during the New Year spread, it would be taboo for the Empress Dowager. Secondly, she was afraid that people would gossip about her and it would not look good on the Empress Dowager.
Until there was no sound in the room, Su E was relieved.
Instead of watching her princess suffer every day and slowly enjoy it, it was better to be happy and cry whenever she wanted to. It was better than holding it in and being gloomy every day.
When Su’e was seventeen years old, she was assigned to the Yong He Palace to be a sweeping maid. Later, she caught the eye of the princess Xuancheng. Her chubby little hands grabbed her skirt and let her play with her. Seeing that the princess liked her, Noble Consort Liu promoted her to be a palace maid beside the princess Xuancheng. In one night, she became the most favored palace maid beside the princess. Since then, Su’e had been grateful for her kindness and wished she could dig out her heart and lungs to repay her.
Especially after the death of Noble Consort Liu, Su’e did not need anyone’s instructions to automatically shoulder the responsibility of taking care of Princess Xuancheng. She protected her from top to bottom and planned for Princess Xuancheng from inside out. Princess Xuancheng trusted her and did not think that she was overstepping her authority. The master and servant complemented each other.
After crying for nearly two hours, Princess Xuancheng’s eyes were swollen from crying. She could no longer cry and it was extremely bitter. Xiao Baoxin called for someone to bring water in.
Su’e personally brought the water in because she didn’t want others to see Princess Xuancheng’s embarrassment. Even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn’t help but be shocked.
Fortunately, when Su’e first entered the palace, she did not cry behind people’s backs, so she had a way to reduce the swelling of her eyes.
First, he let Princess Xuancheng apply hot and cold water on her eyes, then he massaged her eyes.
At this moment, Xiao Baoxin also cursed himself for being careless. She was happy to repay and make Xuancheng cry to his heart’s content. If the Empress Dowager summoned her or was seen by others, people would gossip.
Fortunately, Su’e’s technique was experienced. After working for an hour, she finally saw some results. The swelling had subsided a lot.
“At night, this servant will rub Princess ‘eyes and she will be fine.”
Princess Xuancheng nodded. Her nose was a little stuffy. She had a headache after crying for a long time.
“Why don’t this servant massage princess ‘head, princess can sleep for a while if she is sleepy.”Su’e said.
Xiao Baoxin:” That’s right. Princess, take a rest first. The father-in-law who brought me into the palace has already instructed me to stay in the palace for a few more days to accompany the princess. We have a lot of time to talk in the future.””
Hearing Xiao Baoxin say this, Princess Xuancheng leaned on the couch and let Su’e massage her head. However, her headache was really bad and she couldn’t sleep.
He simply did not sleep and just stared blankly at the curtain above his head.
It wasn’t until almost two hours later that she fell asleep.
Su’e stood up and didn’t say anything. She just knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Baoxin.
Xiao Baoxin quickly helped her up, and what followed was Su’e’s voice that rushed into her head.
“It’s too difficult to be a princess.”
‘I hope Lady Xiao is really as she looks. Don’t change her appearance. How sad would the princess be?’
‘People’s hearts are unpredictable, we still have to guard against them-‘
‘Speaking of which, Lady Xiao is also the princess’ aunt… Although he had heard that the Xiao Family’s young master was not very reliable in recruiting cats and dogs, with the Xiao Family as his backer, at least he would have a home in the future.’
It sounded like a life of worry. He was extremely loyal to Princess Xuancheng.
However, Xiao Baoxin could also hear the words in her heart. After Liu Guifei’s death, people had changed their appearance. There were still many people who changed their faces, so Su’e was a little worried.
It was just that there was no point in saying too much, so Xiao Baoxin did not explain and just silently stayed behind.
While the princess was sleeping, Su’e took her to the room next door and assigned her a maid to take care of her.
Princess Xuancheng slept until it was dark. When the two of them finished eating, Princess Xuancheng had completely woken up and pulled Xiao Baoxin to stay in her room for the night.
The two of them chatted for most of the night. It was not until dawn that there was no sound in the room.
That night, Xiao Baoxin didn’t say much. Most of it was the princess of Xuancheng. She pulled Xiao Baoxin along and talked about the people and things she had encountered in the palace these days. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. However, after saying it out loud, she felt relieved. It was human nature.
Her father was so protective of his children. Now, she and her brother were his reverse scales. If it was anyone else, she would not stick to them either.
He treated the three of them like gods of plague and hid.
Xiao Baoxin couldn’t hold on any longer and was about to fall asleep in a daze when Princess Xuancheng’s words startled her,”
Do you think the Empress killed my mother?”
Xiao Baoxin almost subconsciously did a carp jump and got up to cover Princess Xuancheng’s mouth. He had just said that she had grown up a lot, and now he was talking nonsense.
Even if these words were true, how could she find someone to casually say it out?
She didn’t know whether to say that Princess Xuancheng was straightforward or naive. Did she believe her so easily?
“You can’t say this casually. After all, you’re the mother of a country. You don’t have any evidence.”
Didn’t she think that if the Empress really did it, she would be killed if she talked about it?
“But someone has already spread the news…”
Xiao Baoxin was so scared that his entire body was covered in white sweat. He gently let go of his hand.”Princess, who did you hear this from?”
Princess Xuancheng was also stunned by her fright. After a while, she said,
“That’s what the palace says in private. In the first half of the month, the Empress Dowager caught a few eunuchs saying this and dragged them down to be beaten to death. The Empress Dowager didn’t want anyone to tell me, but I knew..”
