"So when you asked Aunt Zhuxi to bring me medicine that day, you recognized me a long time ago?"
No one mentioned Nanny Xiang's sad story again. No matter how many inside stories and how unbearable the events of the past were, they were all in the past. Moreover, the late emperor had passed away. It was no longer possible to explore the so-called truth.
There is no meaning at all except pushing Nanny Xiang and Yin Yin to the guillotine.
If Nanny Xiang had other thoughts, she would not have risked her life to send Yin Yin away. She just wanted people to be alive. As long as they were alive, there was hope and everything was still possible.
So as long as she doesn't mention it to the nanny, Lin Chunhuan will never do anything smart.
Nanny Xiang nodded gently. "Actually, at first, I didn't know it was you. I only heard that you came from Hongxiu Tower outside the palace. I thought it was Yinyin. On the first day you entered the palace, I couldn't help but secretly come to Changchun Palace to see you."
"Although I haven't seen Yinyin for so many years and I don't know what she looks like now, I recognized you the first time I saw you."
Nanny Xiang sighed deeply, and like a loving elder, she gently stroked Lin Chunhuan's cheek with her palm, "Ah... your appearance, you showed signs of stunning beauty even when you were young."
"Such an appearance is a great disaster for you. I know how much effort Zhuang Lin must have put into ensuring that you have grown up safely and securely until today."
In response to this, Lin Chunhuan lowered his head and said nothing, his lips trembling slightly, "Yes, so I think entering the palace is probably the fate I must bear."
"It's best if you can think this way." Nanny Xiang looked at her earnestly, "Ah Huan, you are different from others. Although there are intrigues and deceptions in the harem, as a concubine, you can always guard against the open and hidden attacks. But if you were outside, many things would be beyond your control!"
Nanny Xiang choked up a little, "So don't even think about leaving. Zhuang Lin raised my Yinyin with great difficulty. She treats you as her own daughter."
"As long as we are in this palace, I will protect you even if it costs me my life!"
Lin Chunhuan nodded. She sent everyone out of Changchun Palace. Except for Chunyu, no one else even knew that Nanny Xiang was here.
They talked a lot, but except at the beginning, Nanny Xiang never mentioned Yin Yin again.
When Nanny Xiang was about to leave, Lin Chunhuan hesitated but still called out, "Nanny Xiang, Yinyin... looks a lot like you. If you could meet her again, you would definitely recognize her at first sight."
Nanny Xiang had already reached the door. She didn't turn around when she heard this, but her back to Lin Chunhuan froze. After a long while, she responded with a sobbing voice, "Hey."
Seeing Nanny Xiang disappear, Chunyu walked into the house.
Lin Chunhuan breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that it was not that Nanny Xiang did not want to know about Yin Yin's situation, but she was afraid that if she knew too much and worried too much, she would no longer be able to stay behind the deep palace walls.
There was a strong wind outside and snow was flying all over the sky.
This year is the warmest winter Lin Chunhuan has ever experienced.
Chunyu brought out a hand warmer and let her hold it in her arms, then carefully applied moisturizing cream on her hands and massaged them.
Raising her hand and taking a look, Lin Chunhuan chuckled, and then she realized that it wasn't that she disliked winter, she was just afraid of the cold.
It turns out that a house with silver frost charcoal burning all day long will not be cold.
It turns out that it is possible to prevent your hands from getting frostbite and from feeling pain or itching in winter.
It turns out... Lin Chunhuan lowered her eyes and had the most intuitive feeling about the wealth and power that people in the world desperately pursue. She knew that she was just an ordinary person.
Some things are better left unseen, but now that you have seen them, there is no going back.
"Your Majesty, the monks from Wan'an Temple have entered the palace today. Tomorrow, there will be a ceremony in the palace. Although all matters are led by the Empress, you are the leader of the concubines and will be at the forefront. Have you taken note of the arrangements I just told you?"
Chunyu's repeated instructions brought Lin Chunhuan's wandering thoughts back to focus. He pinched her cheek amusedly and said, "Don't worry, I've remembered everything."
"Why are you so nagging now? You're even more worried than Madam Xiang."
Chunyu's cheeks turned red from being pinched, but it wasn't because of the pain.
Even though the two of them had been together day and night for several months, every time she looked directly into her master's face, she couldn't help but blush and her heart beat fast.
I could only force myself to look away.
Chunyu was afraid that if she continued to get along with the imperial concubine like this, would she no longer look down on those men in the future?
Realizing her own thoughts, Chun Yu's face turned even redder. "You're teasing me again!"
After spending a long time together, Chunyu realized that Lin Chunhuan was not as difficult to get along with as she appeared at the beginning, and sometimes he was even a little childish.
Just be loyal and don't have any messy thoughts.
In fact, her life as a personal maid in Changchun Palace was very good!
"Oh, right." Before Lin Chunhuan could say anything, Chunyu quickly said, "I've told Madam Xiang that she'll be busy with the Dharma Assembly tomorrow and probably won't be able to come to our palace for several days. I asked you to be careful and to ask this servant to take good care of her."
After all, they were in the palace, and even though Nanny Xiang was in charge of some affairs, it was not convenient for her to run to Changchun Palace all the time. Therefore, unless it was an important matter, Chunyu would usually run between the two places to convey the message.
Hearing this, Lin Chunhuan's joking thoughts disappeared instantly, and he didn't even bother to pick up the hand warmer in his arms, "Madame Xiang, isn't coming tomorrow?"
"How can this be possible? I am..."
Lin Chunhuan swallowed the words halfway through when he saw Chunyu's puzzled look. "Forget it, Madam is busy, so I won't bother her anymore."
This was said with some bitterness.
Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath, and his lowered eyes showed confusion, bewilderment, and a bit of discouragement.
She put a lot of thought into asking Mother Zhuang to bring Yin Yin with her when she entered the palace, just so that the mother and daughter could meet.
Although this matter was not explicitly told to Nanny Xiang, she definitely knew about it.
Even if there is nothing we can do, it is always good to meet each other. But such a good opportunity, which may only come once in a lifetime, was given up by Nanny Xiang.
She really couldn't understand it.
If you can't figure something out, put it aside for now and think about it again when you can. Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips slightly. She never makes things difficult for herself.
The twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The ceremony in the palace was solemn and dignified.
Even the Queen and Consort Shu, who had not been seen for a long time, abided by the rules today and did not make any embarrassing moves. However, Consort Zhou (Gardenia) looked a little unhappy.
Although she has been promoted from a palace maid to a master, she doesn't look as healthy as before.
