After leaving Yonghua Palace, Xie Yao was not in a hurry to leave the palace. Instead, she went to Jinghe Palace to greet Concubine Jing and make a follow-up visit.
Concubine Jing's illness is long-term and must be monitored regularly to avoid mistakes.
As soon as Xie Yao left, Chu Han appeared outside Yonghua Palace.
Just as he was about to go in, he met Princess Jing who came out for an excuse.
"Sister-in-law, is Xie Yao inside?" Chu Han looked up and saw it, so he asked.
"She just left, didn't you see her?" Princess Jing looked at Chu Han with crooked eyes.
Chu Han narrowed his eyes slightly, "How is Grandma Huang's health?"
"She said she just fell ill, and she feels much better now. She is chatting with Prince Jing." Princess Jing smiled slightly.
Chu Han nodded, "Grandma Huang is in better health, so I won't go in to say hello. I'll come back another day."
With that said, he turned around and left.
"Where are you going, Prince Han? Is there something urgent to do?" Princess Jing asked hurriedly.
Chu Han paused, "Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?"
Princess Jing smiled softly and said, "Nothing, I just haven't seen you for a long time. I want to take this opportunity to sit down and have a casual chat with you."
Chu Han was silent for a moment, raised his hand and pointed in front, "There is a pavilion by the lake in front, let's go there."
"Okay." Princess Jing agreed immediately.
The two of them came to the pavilion one after the other.
There is a stone table and four stone benches here.
Princess Jing randomly chose a seat and Chu Han sat directly opposite Princess Jing.
"Before, you would always sit next to me." There was an indescribable melancholy in Princess Jing's words.
Chu Han glanced at Princess Jing, his handsome face cold, "Sister-in-law also said, that was before. Today, we all have our own families, so naturally we can't be like before."
"Don't call me sister-in-law, call me Yuling." Princess Jing Qi Yuling turned her head and looked towards the lake.
Chu Han didn't respond.
"This lake is not as big as the one we used to play in when we were kids." Qi Yuling said with reminiscence in her eyes.
"When I was a child, I only cared about playing. I didn't care about the size of the lake." Chu Han only glanced at the lake and then withdrew his gaze.
"Yes. You were under strict control at that time, and it was rare for you to come out to play. But as long as you had the chance to play, you would definitely send someone out of the palace to call me in advance." The memories in Qi Yuling's eyes became deeper and deeper.
"Yeah." Chu Han only replied with one word.
Qi Yuling withdrew her gaze and looked at Chu Han, "How are you doing?"
"very good."
"You were forced to marry the princess. Although you like the concubine, you only gave her the position of concubine, which shows that you don't like her deeply."
"Sister-in-law, be careful, this is my king's family matter." Chu Han's expression darkened and he said coldly.
"What about family affairs? Can't I care about your affairs? Have you forgotten our childhood friendship?" Qi Yuling asked with some dissatisfaction.
Chu Han's eyes were slightly cold, "Let's put the things that happened in childhood in childhood and don't have to bring them to the present. We were just children back then, and we didn't understand everything. If I did something to make my sister-in-law misunderstand,
I apologize to my sister-in-law here."
After Qi Yuling heard this, her eyes immediately filled with disbelief. She never thought that Chu Han would say such a thing to her!
Moreover, she has a sister-in-law who sounds extremely alienated and alienated.
"Confused? Have you forgotten that you said you wanted to marry me as your concubine?" She looked directly at Chu Han, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
"I already have a princess, and my eldest sister-in-law has already married my eldest brother. There is no need to mention this matter again." Chu Han said lightly, then stood up and planned to leave.
"You just spent a few words with me, and then you left in a hurry? Back then, every time you ordered someone to call me into the palace, I would drop everything and come as soon as possible!" Qi Yuling also stood up, her voice
With a hint of crying.
At this time, Xie Yao had completed her follow-up consultation with Concubine Jing and planned to go back to Yonghua Palace to take a look at the condition of the Concubine before leaving the palace.
Here I saw Chu Han and Princess Jing in the pavilion, both standing and chatting.
Chu Han also entered the palace?
It just so happened that Concubine Jing had something she needed to convey.
During the follow-up visit just now, Concubine Jing mentioned the matter of taking a concubine for Chu Han.
Concubine Jing did not have any dissatisfaction with her, she just said that the matter was beneficial to Chu Han and asked her to help convey it to Chu Han.
She understood that Concubine Jing was worried that she would refuse, so she asked her to convey it.
She was eager for Chu Han to take a concubine, so she agreed immediately.
As a result, as soon as she walked up to him, she heard Qi Yuling's full of grievances and complaints, and her heart skipped a beat.
No wonder Qi Yuling looked at her with that look in Yonghua Palace. She didn't know why at the time, but it turned out to be because of her status as Princess Han.
Chu Han is really lovable, with Shangguan Yue in front of him and Qi Yuling in the back, and Qi Yuling is also Princess Jing.
Qi Yuling even thought of giving Prince Jing a green hat. This was so courageous!
Do not see what is inappropriate, do not hear what is inappropriate!
She muttered something in her mind, immediately turned around and left quietly.
She has no interest in hearing other people's secrets.
Just when Chu Han was about to respond to Qi Yuling's words, he subconsciously glanced sideways and saw a figure walking away, his eyes moving slightly.
Qi Yuling noticed Chu Han's gaze and followed it, but saw nothing. "You don't have to be so careful. With our identities, we won't think much about it even if someone sees it."
Chu Han looked back and gave Qi Yuling a cold look, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany my sister-in-law. I'll go ahead first."
Qi Yuling wanted to say something else. Looking at Chu Han's decisive departure, he just opened his mouth and looked deeply.
If she had not married Prince Jing back then, the position of Princess Han would definitely be hers now.
She should have been more determined, maybe the result would have been completely different.
…
Xie Yao went back to Yonghua Palace and took a look. Seeing that the condition of the Crown Princess was very stable, she resigned from the palace.
When leaving the palace, she saw a carriage parked on the side of the palace entrance, which seemed to belong to Prince Pingxi's Mansion.
She originally wanted to see if King Pingxi was in the carriage, and if he was there, she would check on King Pingxi, but there were guards guarding the carriage, making it difficult to get close.
She didn't stop and left directly.
Back at Prince Han's Mansion, Zi Qing ran over as soon as she entered the courtyard.
"Princess, I have something to tell you, please come in quickly!" Ziqing's expression was very urgent, and she glanced around, as if she was guilty of committing a crime.
Xie Yao looked strange and followed him into the room.
Ziqing immediately turned around and closed the door tightly, "Princess, there are rumors that are unfavorable to you again."
Xie Yao was speechless.
Another rumor.
"Princess, please don't take it seriously! Of course I know the rumors are false, but if more people know about it and believe it, it will have a great impact on your reputation!" Zi Qing said with a cautious face.
Xie Yao couldn't laugh or cry, "Then tell me, what are the rumors outside?"
"Everyone outside is saying that you have a private meeting with the Shepherd King."
