The matter was done, the imperial edict was announced to the world, and although Song Chengli was in great pain, he had no other choice.
He had no choice but to suppress his bitterness and pain and watch Lu Chunxi enter the palace to become his favorite concubine and his nominal sister-in-law.
Lu Chunyu, played by Xiao Xizhen, is the third party that the two cannot tolerate in their relationship.
Prince Song Chengli took Lu Chunxi home as a decoration for her own sake.
After learning the truth, I got the answer to why my husband treated me coldly for no reason.
The betrayal of her sister, the madness of suppressed silence, and ultimately the cannon fodder who burned himself to death.
After clarifying the whole story, Song Chunyu's journey of seeking death as a cannon fodder officially begins.
The red and swollen wounds on his face had not healed yet, so he carefully lifted the veil and looked at the princess's disfigured and swollen face.
A look of heartache flashed across Errong's eyes as he smeared the ointment at hand with his fingertips, and gently applied it on the little princess's forehead, eyes, and cheeks.
Errong thought with great heartache.
Before her young lady got married, although her reputation was not as great as that of the eldest daughter, her appearance was no less beautiful, dignified and elegant than that of the eldest daughter.
The advantage of her young lady is her graceful and elegant appearance, gentleness and charm.
Her beauty is completely different from that of the imperial concubine favored in the palace today. It is difficult to tell which one is better. It all depends on the preferences of the people at that time.
Now, it's all ruined.
Lu Chunyu sniffed in the bronze mirror and smelled the medicinal fragrance mixed with grass wafting towards his face.
It was small and obedient, holding its head high so that it could take the medicine. Errong unscrewed the top of the porcelain bottle containing the ointment and placed it next to the dressing mirror.
"Master, the kitchen should have prepared dinner, haven't you?"
Lu Chunyu, who works diligently to follow the plot.
At this time, Lu Chunyu still had thoughts about her husband. Although she noticed something, she subconsciously resisted the intuition that came to her mind.
I foolishly held on to the idea that my husband's heart would one day be moved by my sincerity.
It was getting dark, and the lights in the dining hall were on. The flickering lights illuminated every detail of the hall.
The maid brought a copper basin and handkerchief. While the master was washing her hands, a table full of food, including meat, vegetables and fresh seafood, was served.
The silk handkerchief that Lu Chunyu used to wash her hands was taken over by the sharp-eyed maid.
The maid holding the tray retreated, and Song Chengli, who was late at the door, stepped in.
The maids inside and outside the flower hall greeted in unison. Those who stood up saw the princess sitting on the warm chair and slowly stood up to greet her.
"The prince is finally here. I have been waiting for a long time."
The wife who was coming towards him, with her face covered by a veil, and the close confidant following behind Song Chengli raised their eyes.
His master didn't even glance at the princess who was bowing, but went straight through her.
Li Da, who was passing by following his master, bowed his head respectfully.
His eyes swept over the lotus embroidered handkerchief that was twisted several times in front of the princess.
Dandan thought that the princess must feel very uncomfortable when her master lost face like this in front of everyone.
Lu Chunyu was indeed in a bad mood, especially when she used serving chopsticks to serve food to her husband.
Her husband spoke coldly, reminding her not to do anything that was unbecoming of her status.
Even if the maidservant is waiting by her side, anticipating her master's orders at any time, there is no such clear distinction between husband and wife.
For a moment, the only sound in the dining hall was the subtle clinking of dishes and chopsticks.
The other servants who were waiting for their master looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, not daring to breathe.
Everyone in Prince Gong's mansion knew that the prince disliked the princess.
After dinner, the maid brought a spittoon, a teacup, and a handkerchief to cover her mouth and rinse her mouth, then Lu Chunyu stood up.
Song Chengli, who had already stood up and was about to leave, spoke.
"Your Highness, please stay at the Yihe Courtyard tonight."
Song Chengli, who had been walking without stopping, said, "I am busy with official duties today. I will stay at Qimozhai. Princess, you don't have to wait for me. You should rest early."
After saying this, he walked away without even looking back.
The princess, who was eagerly waiting for his reply, was obviously deeply hurt by his cold attitude.
Lu Chunyu looked at Song Chengli, her husband, who was walking away from her, and covered her chest with her hand holding a handkerchief.
The veiled face suddenly turned pale, and her body became unstable and staggered two steps.
As Errong held her steady, the thoughts that she had been suppressing and unwilling to face surfaced again.
Why treat me so coldly?
If you didn't like me, why did you propose to the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time?
Recalling that they had been married for nearly a year, Song Chengli had never been close to her.
The little princess lay in bed sobbing at night, her swollen eyes hurting even more from crying.
The next morning, the little princess, who had been crying secretly all night, rubbed her red eyes and got up early.
After breakfast, someone came from the palace.
Concubine Xi missed her younger sister, so she invited someone into the palace to chat with her.
As soon as the people from the palace left, Errong, who was helping her master with her makeup and dressing, couldn't hold back her words.
"Last time during the hunting trip in Nanyuan, the young lady should have been fine, but the eldest lady got out of control and asked the young lady to go for a walk in the woods."
"You said you were chatting about family matters, there's nothing you can't talk about. The imperial concubine's tent, the prince's tent, but you chose to go to the forest. If you go, you can go, but you didn't bring more people with you, otherwise the young lady wouldn't be in good shape..."
The eldest lady who made an appointment with others to stroll in the woods was fine, but her daughter was in trouble. No one knew when the wound on her face would heal or when she would take off her veil.
Lu Chunyu stared blankly at the woman in the bronze mirror, her hands covering her veil. Her ears were filled with Errong's complaints, and her mind was far away.
As the queen of Yonghe Palace, Concubine Xi naturally lived in the main hall of Yonghe Palace.
The palace is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, showing the royal style.
"My sister is here."
Following the palace maid who led the way into the house, Chunyu knelt down to salute, and was then supported by Lu Chunxi who stood up from the main seat and pulled her up with her arms.
Lu Chunxi looked at her younger sister with concern, and when she saw her veiled face, she pulled her to sit down with a look of heartache in her eyes.
"My poor sister, blame me for not asking you out."
