Chapter 455 Pulling out the Beard
After crying for a while, the eldest princess finally returned to normal.
Hu Xin'er sat with her, smoothing her messy hair with a distressed look on her face: "You've suffered a lot these days."
The eldest princess pursed her lips and felt like crying, but she felt embarrassed.
Her eyes were red as she said angrily, "You all left one by one, I thought..."
That day, she couldn't bear the huge blow and passed out. After waking up again, she hesitated for a long time before deciding to meet Hu Xiner.
However, when she questioned the hesitant palace maid, she accidentally learned that her father was seriously injured.
The Lu family also fled the capital at night.
The eldest princess didn't know the inside story of the Lu family's escape, so she subconsciously thought that their departure was because she insisted on standing on the side of the prince, which broke their hearts.
This became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
From then on, her spirit collapsed, and she only regained her sanity when she saw Hu Xiner again.
The palace maid respectfully handed over the wooden comb. Hu Xiner took it and combed the eldest princess's hair.
The princess thought about the mistakes she had made in the past few days and asked tearfully, "Can you still forgive me? Can we still be friends?"
Hu Xin'er's heart softened instantly: "What nonsense are you talking about? No matter what happened, it will not affect the relationship between us."
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess burst into tears again, feeling wronged and scared like a child.
Hu Xin'er said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, Yue'er. It's because I didn't consider your feelings that you suffered for so many days in vain."
She really didn't expect that she was so important in the eldest princess's heart, even to the point that she completely collapsed because of her departure.
If she had not returned to the capital because of Lu's mother's matter, how long would the eldest princess continue in this crazy state?
Thinking of this, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Upon hearing this, the princess, whose usually cheerful face was always full of energy, revealed a rare bitter smile: "Compared to what you have endured, these hardships are nothing."
She used to naively think that even if there were conflicts between the Crown Prince and the Lu family, she could maneuver between them and act as a mediator.
But even though she was crazy these days, she also heard a lot of news.
It turns out that the prince has always wanted the Lu family to die.
It turned out that she thought she was mediating between the two of them, but she had unknowingly become the prince's pawn.
Hu Xiner silently held her husband's hand tightly. The two looked at each other unconsciously, and both understood each other's intentions from their eyes.
"All of this is in the past." Hu Xin'er looked at the eldest princess with gentle yet firm eyes, "The days ahead will get better and better."
The princess looked at her, suddenly bit her lip, turned her head away, and held back the tears in her eyes: "Will it really be okay?"
"I will." Hu Xin'er said affirmatively, "Don't forget that you are the most honorable princess in the entire country. Even though the prince hurt you, there are still so many people who love you."
The eldest princess' eyes were red, and she took a few deep breaths before calming down: "Yeah!"
She nodded vigorously.
Hu Xiner thought that she was leaving soon, and she really couldn't let go of the eldest princess.
What's more, she didn't know how to tell the eldest princess about Erdong's affairs, so she always felt a little guilty.
As she thought about these things, she frowned and was lost in thought.
The eldest princess tugged at her sleeve: "Xin'er, what are you thinking about?"
Hu Xin'er came back to her senses, smiled apologetically and shook her head: "Nothing."
"I feel like you've changed a lot. Did something bad happen to you during my romantic days?" The eldest princess' fingertips brushed across the corners of her eyes, wiping away the tears that had accidentally fallen.
She looked at Hu Xiner with eyes full of worry.
The world was changing too fast, and she suddenly felt that there were complicated and unspeakable secrets behind everyone, so she felt very uneasy.
I always feel like something bad is about to happen.
What Hu Xin'er wanted to say got stuck in her throat, but she just smiled and said, "When we have time, let's reminisce about the past."
The eldest princess' eyes were red again: "You really have something against me!"
Hu Xin'er was confused: "Huh?"
The eldest princess complained, "If you don't despise me for being stupid, why are you still reminiscing about the past in private? I've made so many mistakes before, isn't reminiscing about the past just a way to criticize me?"
Hu Xin'er was stunned.
What kind of brain circuit is this?
She explained with a mixture of anger and amusement, "How could I dislike you for being stupid? You're usually so overconfident, but now you're feeling so inferior."
At this moment, she truly understood how Mu Qing usually looked at her, and she couldn't help but imitate her husband and reached out to tap the eldest princess's forehead.
The eldest princess was caught off guard and immediately grabbed her wrist the moment she felt pain on her forehead.
Hu Xin'er was brought into her arms, laughing and holding her stomach: "Stop it, stop it, I can't beat you!"
"How dare you tap my noble forehead!" The eldest princess found out that she had misunderstood Hu Xiner. She was already extremely embarrassed, and now she was attacked by her. She was immediately ashamed and angry.
She tickled Hu Xin'er angrily.
Hu Xin'er laughed so hard that tears came out: "Husband, save me!"
How could Mu Qing watch his wife being bullied?
A figure flashed by and Hu Xiner was back in his arms.
The eldest princess looked at her empty hands in astonishment and pouted silently: "Father, they are bullying me!"
The emperor was stroking his beard and watching the fun nearby. He smiled and said, "Xin'er is pregnant, so you should give her some consideration."
The eldest princess still didn't know Hu Xin'er's identity. Upon hearing this, she was shocked and complained, "Father, you don't love me anymore!"
Due to the continuous "blows", her angry look has regained some of her former vitality.
Even Mu Qing couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly.
The emperor said slowly, "Well, from now on, half of the favor I give you will be shared with Xin'er."
"What?!" The eldest princess looked at her father's eyes, and after confirming that it was not a lie, she immediately ran to the emperor to declare her sovereignty.
She tugged at the emperor's beard forcefully: "Nangong Heng, wake up! She's someone else's daughter. Even if you're the emperor, you can't just snatch her away."
The emperor felt rather embarrassed to have his beard pulled openly by his daughter in front of everyone. "Yue'er, stop messing around! How dare you address me by my name and act so rudely?"
"I don't care!" the princess said domineeringly. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll pull out your beard one by one."
"This..." The emperor was speechless. "Can you change the terms?"
