"That's true," Princess Yong thought for a while, and said, "But let's send him away. I have a villa on the outskirts of the city. When night falls, I'll send someone to your place to pick him up. Just in case."

Chu Yingying was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, after all, your current status..."

Concubine Yong just smiled and said: "It's okay, when the prince comes back, I will explain this matter to him, he won't mind."

Her smile was faint, as if she really didn't care, Chu Yingying nodded slowly, and said, "Well, you... You act according to your discretion, don't be brave."

Concubine Yong smiled and said: "You still talk about me, obviously you are trying to be brave."

Chu Yingying had no choice but to smile back, and Princess Yong said: "I will tell the prince truthfully about this matter, then Dou Rulan is indeed a powerful woman, if it were me, I am afraid that she would not have such a situation of being out of life and death." courage."

She said, sighing slightly.

At this moment, there was an exclamation from the side, and the children's laughter stopped abruptly. Then, there was a burst of crying, and the sky-shattering sound of wah-wah.

Both Chu Yingying and Concubine Yong turned around to look, and saw that the swing under the tree was still swinging freely in the air, but the girl was sitting on the ground, her delicate clothes were covered with plaster, and she was crying loudly, the palace people rushed to grab her Go to coax her.

The boy stood aside with a very indifferent expression, as if he didn't care at all, while the girl cried, "Mother, mother! Xiner hurts, mother!"

The crying went straight to the sky, it was so tragic that people who didn't know thought she had broken an arm and a leg.

Seeing her, Chu Yingying looked at Concubine Yong. She took a few steps forward and asked the chaotic crowd, "What's going on?"

Several palace people quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said: "Reporting to the princess, just now the son pushed the swing a little harder, and the princess wanted to get down, but accidentally let go of it and fell down."

The girl cried more and more, her voice was hoarse, and her voice was so high-pitched that it made Chu Yingying's ears hurt.

Concubine Yong also frowned slightly, and scolded those palace people: "What are you for? The princess fell off the swing, instead of asking the doctor to look at it, instead of arranging the prince and the princess here?"

Hearing this, several palace people kowtowed to each other, and others got up and hurried to find the doctor. The expression on the boy's face softened slightly, he glanced at Princess Yong, cupped his hands and said: "Boy I have seen the concubine."

The girl was still sitting on the ground crying loudly: "Wow... Mother, Xiner hurts! Mother!"

The crying sound spread and spread throughout the garden, as if they really heard the sound, a group of people came from the front, and a woman in a purple palace dress walked quickly.

Seeing the girl sitting on the ground, he groaned, stepped forward to hug her distressedly, and reprimanded the palace man: "You lowly slaves, why don't you know how to help the princess up?"

As she spoke, she turned her head slightly, and said sharply: "If Xin'er breaks down from crying, and the prince sees it when he returns home, how do you explain it?"

The girl was probably venting her anger when she saw her mother, she cried louder, wow, out of breath, the palace people kowtowed immediately.

Concubine Yong pursed her lips, but before she could speak, she heard the woman say again: "Concubine Wang is here too, how can she just watch such a small child sitting on the ground crying, but not be moved at all? Although Xiner is The concubine is also the prince's own flesh and blood, how can the princess bear it?"

The hat was buttoned up badly, Princess Yong was about to speak, when Chu Yingying suddenly said: "This lady doesn't know something, it is said that the Princess just fell off the swing, logically speaking, don't act rashly, if in case If you broke an arm or a leg and helped her up rashly, it might be more serious."

When the woman heard this, her face turned pale, and the movement of picking up the girl froze.

Chu Yingying was afraid that she would not believe her, and said again: "It's fine if you just break an arm and a leg, but if you hurt your heart, spleen and stomach, it will be even worse."

The girl stopped moving immediately, and the girl cried so much that her face was flushed, but she didn't dare to hug her, so she could only sternly yell at the palace people who were kneeling and kowtowing: "What are you doing in a daze? Are you dead? Are you still alive?" Hurry up and invite a doctor to this palace!"

The palace people immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, for fear of being scolded again if it was too late, the woman turned her head, stared at Chu Yingying and said, "Who are you?"

Chu Yingying slightly lowered her eyes, unable to answer, Princess Yong said: "This is the handkerchief I gave when I was in my boudoir before I left the court. I invited her to come to the palace to reminisce about the past. She is a distinguished guest."

The implication is that you better speak politely.

The woman forcibly restrained her posture, and stopped talking to Chu Yingying, but turned to scold angrily: "Why hasn't the doctor come yet? Have you invited him?"

Among the group of palace people she brought, another one went immediately, and after a while, a middle-aged doctor was urged to come in a hurry. After showing it to the princess, he said that there was nothing wrong with it, except for some scratches. Just put some medicine on it.

The woman's complexion improved slightly, and she reprimanded the girl: "There are so many people in the house, do you have to pester those one or two people to play? Can't you play with your brother?"

After she reprimanded, the girl began to cry again. Concubine Yong didn't seem to want to hear the mother and son's bickering very much, so Chu Yingying said at the right time: "My lady, I will take my leave today."

After hearing this, Princess Yong wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a helpless smile, and she said, "I'll let Jing Mo see you off."

Chu Yingying nodded, bid her farewell, and then walked outside under the leadership of Jing Mo.

Seeing that there was no one around, she asked in a low voice, "That was just now..."

Jing Mo understood what she meant, so he also replied in a low voice: "That's Concubine Gao. The first concubine entered the palace after her death. The prince doesn't have many concubines. Three years ago, he raised her as a side concubine, and she was quite favored. After giving birth to a son, since the young lady married into the palace, she has always been disrespectful to the young lady."

Jealousy and intrigue were nothing more than Chu Yingying's previous life in the Prince's Mansion, so she nodded, and suddenly remembered the silent boy, and said, "That kid is..."

Jing Mo led her onto the rockery path, and said: "That is the eldest son, the child of the former concubine. The prince now has only two sons, and the older one is him."

While the two were talking, Jing Mo sent Chu Yingying to the gate. There was already a carriage waiting there. Before getting into the carriage, she suddenly called Chu Yingying: "Miss Chu."

"What?" Chu Yingying turned to look at her.

Jing Mo hesitated for a while, and said: "Miss Chu, if you have time in the future, you can come to the palace more often, Miss... I haven't seen her smile like this for a long time."

Chu Yingying looked at her, then nodded, and said, "Okay, if I'm free, I'll pay a visit."

Jing Mo immediately smiled gratefully: "Then thank Miss Chu."

In the evening, when Cui Yunhao came back from the Imperial Academy, Chu Yingying looked at the pile of books and papers in his arms, and asked in surprise, "Why are there so many?"

Cui Yunhao replied: "These are the national histories that need to be revised. They can't be finished in the Imperial Academy, so they can only be brought back."

Chu Yingying knew that he was now compiling the history of the country, so she didn't say anything after hearing that, she just helped him put those books on the case.
