Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 1297: What an ungrateful person

"really?"

The eldest princess raised her head, her eyes instantly gleaming with surprise. She could hardly believe her ears: "Mother, you...you allow Yun'er to go?"

"Yun'er has wanted to visit Empress Chun for a long time, but she was afraid that Mother would not agree, so she never dared to say it..."

She had mentioned several times before that she wanted to visit Chun Niang Niang, but her mother said that Chun Niang Niang needed to rest and not be disturbed.

I didn't expect that today, my mother would take the initiative to bring it up!

Concubine Zhuang looked at the eldest princess's joyful expression, her lips curved into a loving arc, but her eyes were calm and unperturbed: "Concubine Chun must be very distressed after losing her child."

"You are the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, of noble status and kind-hearted. If you can comfort her with a few words, perhaps she will feel better."

“This is also a matter of accumulating merit and doing good deeds.”

She used the same rhetoric she usually used to teach the eldest princess.

"Thank you, mother!"

The eldest princess was so happy that she immediately slid down from the couch and said, "Yun'er, I'll go to the small Buddhist temple and beat the wooden fish for my brother, and then we'll go to Shuixi Pavilion!"

Concubine Zhuang watched the eldest princess leave with a smile, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

The reason she ended up in this situation was inevitably due to Concubine Chun's schemes, but the eldest princess was worried about Concubine Chun.

What an ignorant white-eyed wolf!

Little Caizi stepped forward, his voice filled with confusion and worry: "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly ask the eldest princess to go to Shuixi Pavilion?"

"Noble Chun has evil intentions. What if..."

Concubine Zhuang raised her hand to stop him from speaking.

She returned her gaze to the window and spoke slowly, "This daughter of mine is so kind and filial, thinking of her 'brother' and wanting to comfort her grieving stepmother. Who could say no?"

"Isn't Concubine Chun good at acting and is best at playing pitiful? I want to see how well she can keep up that mask when facing a child who is truly grieving for her!"

……

Water Creek Pavilion.

Concubine Chun was leaning on the soft couch by the window, playing with a beeswax pendant that Prince Jin had brought last time. Her eyes were wandering, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

The sunlight filtered through the dense window lattices, casting mottled shadows on her beautiful but slightly pale face.

Yingxiang came in softly and reported, "My lady, the eldest princess is here to see you."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Chun casually fiddled with the beeswax, her charming eyes slowly narrowed, and a hint of impatience and ridicule flashed in her eyes.

The eldest princess?

What is the little girl raised by Concubine Zhuang doing here again?

It really disturbs the peace and quiet.

She was annoyed in her heart, but her face showed no sign of it. She just raised her hand lazily and said, "Please let her in."

"Yes."

Soon, the eldest princess's tiny figure walked in eagerly.

She was wearing a lilac-colored skirt today, with a small pearl flower pinned in her hair, and her face was filled with obvious worry.

"Mrs. Chun!"

The eldest princess walked over to the bed and looked at Concubine Chun with concern in her clear eyes: "Are you feeling better?"

"Yun'er heard from the palace servants that you haven't had an appetite lately and have lost a lot of weight..."

"Yun'er was really worried, so she came to see you."

Concubine Chun said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I won't be in the way."

The eldest princess sat down on the embroidered cushion beside the couch and comforted her, "Mrs. Chun, don't be too sad. Otherwise, if your brother's spirit in heaven knew about this, he would also be sad..."

sad?

When Concubine Chun heard the eldest princess' childish but sincere consolation, she found it extremely ironic and ridiculous.

To her, the aborted child was just a trouble that shouldn't have existed.

It's just a bad child. It's a relief to have it gone. What's there to be sad about?

Concubine Chun even secretly rejoiced. Otherwise, how could she have gained further sympathy?

This eldest princess was raised to be so naive and stupid that she actually thought everyone was as simple-minded as she was.

However, in front of the eldest princess, Concubine Chun's face instantly changed into an expression that looked like she was about to cry.

She lowered her eyelashes slightly, and her long and thick eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes, just enough to cover up the coldness deep in her eyes.

When she looked up again, those beautiful exotic eyes were filled with tears and looked pitiful.

"Thank you, Princess, for your concern..."

Concubine Chun's voice was choked with sobs, and with a strong nasal tone, she sounded even more fragile: "I... I just feel empty and uncomfortable every time I think about it..."

"Thank you so much for your comfort, Princess. After hearing what you said, I feel... really better."

As Concubine Chun spoke, she turned her head at the right time and gently pressed the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, pretending to hold back tears.

The eldest princess had never seen such a scene before. Seeing that her few words really comforted the other party, she immediately felt a sense of accomplishment and responsibility of being needed.

She quickly leaned forward and said softly, "I hope Queen Chun can be more open-minded. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing!"

"If Madam Chun feels bored, just send someone to tell Yun'er, and Yun'er will come and talk to you to cheer you up."

Concubine Chun sneered in her heart, but showed a look of gratitude on her face. She took the initiative to reach out and gently held the little hand of the eldest princess that was placed on the edge of the couch: "The eldest princess treats Concubine Chun very well..."

"This deep palace is so lonely, and to receive such care from the eldest princess is truly a blessing that Empress Chun has cultivated for several lifetimes."

The eldest princess felt a little embarrassed by Concubine Chun's heartfelt gratitude, and her face turned slightly red.

With her small hand, she clasped Chun Guiren's slightly cold fingers and said seriously, "Don't say that, Chun Guiren. Yun'er likes Chun Guiren too!"

One of them was trying to please the other, while the other treated him sincerely, and they became more and more compatible the more they talked.

Concubine Chun cheered up and started telling some new and interesting stories that children of the eldest princess' age would like to hear.

Occasionally she mentioned a few words about the customs and practices of the Western Regions, which caused the eldest princess to exclaim in amazement, her eyes widening.

Concubine Chun also asked Yingxiang to bring some exquisite Western sweet milk tea and snacks, which made the eldest princess smile.

The Shuixi Pavilion was suddenly filled with laughter and the atmosphere was unusually harmonious.

If you don’t know the situation, you might think they are a pair of close friends regardless of age.

While Concubine Chun was perfunctorily dealing with the naive eldest princess, she was thinking in her heart.

Concubine Zhuang's daughter... though she might seem dull at the moment, she was still the emperor's eldest daughter. Raised by Concubine Zhuang's side, perhaps she could prove useful in the future?

Even if it's useless, it's good to be able to paralyze Concubine Zhuang a little through her.

Concubine Chun dealt with it half-seriously and half-fakely, and time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon and the sun was setting.

Although the eldest princess had a lot of fun, she also remembered the rules and stood up to say goodbye reluctantly: "Mrs. Chun, Yun'er should go back."

"If I'm free tomorrow, Yun'er will come to see you again. You must take your medicine on time and have a good rest!"

Concubine Chun smiled softly, "If the eldest princess comes tomorrow, Concubine Chun will certainly be happy."
