Chapter 480 I Don’t Like Him Anymore
And in Changning Palace, there was a lingering smell of medicine and low pressure for several days.
Deep in the brocade tent, there is the person who used to be as fresh and lively as a plump peach.
At this moment, he was sunken in the soft brocade quilt.
Her little face was so pale that it no longer had the usual blush, but her eye sockets and nose tips were flushed pink from crying too much.
Like a delicate flower that has lost its color and fallen to the ground in a rainstorm.
The palace door was hastily pushed open, and a slender figure rushed in with the wind.
The visitor was wearing a maroon palace gown with hundreds of gold-thread butterflies and cloud-patterned satin, and a peacock-patterned shawl over it.
She wore her hair in an exquisite Chaoyun Jinxiang bun and a red gold and kingfisher feather hairpin.
The rings and bracelets jingled as she moved, and her demeanor was graceful.
It was the princess of the Lin Palace, Miaomiao’s close friend - Yan Ruchu, also known by the nickname Tangtang.
However, this lady from a noble family is impeccable in front of others.
As soon as I stepped into the inner hall, I saw my good sister lying on the couch, looking distracted and fragile, as if she would break at any moment.
The polite expression on her face collapsed in an instant.
She gasped, her beautiful eyes widening.
“Miaomiao!”
Yan Ruochu's voice rose an octave, filled with incredible horror.
"Oh my God! We haven't seen each other for a few days. How...how did you get yourself into this state?!"
She rushed to the bed in two or three steps.
He didn't care about etiquette and sat down next to her, reaching out to touch Miaomiao's forehead.
It feels cool to the touch, not hot.
This made her feel relieved but also heartbroken.
"You don't have a fever? Then what happened to you? Did some wicked person suck your soul out of you, or did you give you some drug?"
Yan Ruchu's personality was fully exposed at this moment, exactly the same as her mother Ye Caiwei.
Act dignified and proper in front of outsiders, and be unrestrained in front of your own people.
Her eyebrows were raised and she started cursing.
"Is it that Cui Huailin again?!"
"I knew it! Who else could make you look like this except him?"
"That damned ice cube! That wooden lump! That bastard with its eyes on top of its head!"
"What's so good about him? Is he worth you humiliating yourself for him?!"
The more she cursed, the angrier she became, and she wanted to rush to Cui's house immediately to pull that man out and beat him up.
After cursing, he turned around and looked at Miaomiao's dazed look.
He held her slightly cold hand with a distressed look and softened his voice to persuade her:
"Good Miaomiao, be obedient. It's not worth it for such a person."
"This one doesn't work, let's change it!"
"There are so many good men in the capital, who wouldn't be more caring than him?"
"Our Miaomiao is so cute, people who like you can line up from the palace gate to Suzaku Street!"
"Why hang yourself on a crooked tree?"
She thought that her words of comfort would be met with more tears or fierce rebuttal from Miaomiao.
After all, Miaomiao's infatuation with Cui Huailin was a common joke in the entire capital.
Since he was a child, he has been following people like a little tail, calling "Brother, brother".
In recent years, it has become a hot topic, and people are saying that I will not marry anyone but you.
However, beyond Yan Ruchu's expectation.
After hearing what she said, Miaomiao neither cried nor made a fuss.
She just blinked quietly, and her long eyelashes trembled a few times like injured butterfly wings.
Then, she actually... nodded gently.
Yan Ruochu was stunned for a moment, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, moved closer, and stared at Miaomiao closely.
"Miaomiao? You...you nodded just now?"
"Did you hear what I said?"
"I say, we don't like Cui Huailin anymore, let's change him!"
Miaomiao raised her eyes, those almond-shaped eyes that were always filled with stars and smiles.
But at this moment it looks like dusty glass, dull and lifeless.
She twisted her ten white but slightly weak fingers together, her voice muffled and hoarse from crying for too long:
"Tangtang, you're right."
"I can't... let my father and mother worry about me anymore."
"I've been sick these past few days, and my mother has been visiting me every day. Her eyes are red from staying up all night."
"Although the emperor didn't say anything, he would come to me after court, his brows always furrowed."
"And Zhao Zhao, to cheer me up, she took apart her favorite coral bracelets and made them into toys for me."
"Because I contradicted my father, I was punished to copy books..."
"Big Brother, Prince Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother...they all come up with new and interesting things to entertain me."
"Fifth brother even brought his most precious trap box."
"I'm not a child anymore. I shouldn't do this anymore... and make all of them worry about me."
As she spoke, her eyes became red again.
But she tried hard not to let the tears fall, but her voice became more choked.
"Besides...Brother Huailin...he really doesn't like me."
She said this with great difficulty, and every word seemed to be wrapped in shards of broken glass.
"He likes girls with slim figures, girls who are smart, dignified, girls who can recite poems with him and discuss current affairs with him, girls who are as outstanding as him..."
Miao raised his chubby, dimpled hand with tears in his eyes and looked at it sadly:
"But I...I can't become a girl like that."
"I tried it for a few days, only drinking porridge and not a single snack...but I didn't lose a pound."
At the end, the grievance and sadness finally burst out, and big tears rolled down.
She raised her little hand and wiped her face roughly.
"My Queen Mother is right. A forced melon is not sweet."
"Even...even if the emperor ordered him to marry me, he wouldn't be happy."
"It will only make me hate and resent me more."
"Since... since we can never be together, then I don't want to like him anymore."
“No more…”
This long string of words was totally unlike what the little princess who was spoiled by the whole family and only knew how to chase after Cui Huailin would say.
Yan Ruochu's mouth opened slightly in surprise, big enough for an egg to fit in.
She looked even scarier than seeing a ghost!
She thrust out her hand and pinched her arm.
He hissed in pain, and then he was sure that he was not dreaming and he was not hallucinating.
What a surprise!
She suddenly opened her arms and hugged her weak sister on the bed tightly.
The force was so strong that Miaomiao almost couldn't breathe.
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Miaomiao!"
"You finally figured it out! That's great!"
"That's it! He can like whoever he wants!"
"He doesn't like you. It's Cui Huailin who is unlucky! He is blind!"
"Our Miaomiao is so cute and has such a good personality."
"If he doesn't like it, there will naturally be people who are a thousand times or ten thousand times better than him who will like it!"
Yan Ruochu was so excited that he was incoherent and patted Miaomiao's back gently.
It was as if he wanted to help her get rid of all the grievances and sadness.
Then she said excitedly, "My eldest cousin said that we're going to the imperial gardens outside Beijing to relax and enjoy the spring breeze the day after tomorrow. Many young men and women will be there."
"Miaomiao, get well soon. Let's relax together and forget all the unhappy things!"
When she heard that she could go out of the palace to play, Miaomiao's dim eyes finally lit up faintly again.
She leaned on Yan Ruochu and nodded heavily: "Okay."
