"I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to wake you up and talk to you," Hui Fei curled her lips, and sat down next to Qing Xing, listening to the noise outside, and then sighed, "It was calm just now, but now it's stormy."
"It's always like this in the summer. It might be sunny one moment, but in the blink of an eye, it might start to rain heavily," Qing Xing said, taking a small cashmere blanket from the bed and draping it over Concubine Hui, saying, "Your Majesty, put it on and don't catch a cold."
"Qingxing, you've been the best to me since I entered the palace." Concubine Hui sighed softly as she gathered the blanket.
"Your Highness, you are too kind," Qing Xing shook her head, looking at Concubine Hui's profile. There was no candle in the room, so it was dark. It was only with the faint light from the corridor outside that she could barely see the loneliness on Concubine Hui's face. She immediately couldn't help but feel sympathy for her, and then whispered, "Your Highness, in fact, His Highness... He treats you very well. Whatever you like to eat and use, His Highness always remembers it in his heart. The Imperial Kitchen and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have never dared to slack off on our Changchun Palace. As long as you want something, it will be delivered to you at the first time. It shows how much His Highness loves you."
"What he remembered was not what I liked to eat or what I liked to use, but what others liked," Concubine Hui pursed her lips bitterly. In the darkness, she smiled silently. "In fact, for so many years, I have become accustomed to being someone else's shadow, eating what she likes to eat, using what she likes to use, and even laughing and crying like her. Now when I think about it, I don't even know what I like to eat, what I like to use, and when I laughed or cried loudly."
"My queen, please don't be so hurtful." Qing Xing felt very uncomfortable when she heard her say that. She sighed softly and comforted Hui Fei, "Who can live a life completely according to their own preferences? Everyone has their own dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction. This is true for ordinary people outside the palace, and it is also true for the royal family in the palace. My queen, in fact, think about it differently. Although you have sacrificed a lot, it is not without reward. Now you are the most favored woman by His Majesty, and the concubines in the harem are headed by you. It seems that His Majesty will promote you to the rank of imperial concubine after the Mid-Autumn Festival. My queen, this is your blessing and reward."
"Blessings?" Concubine Hui curled her lips in a sarcastic tone, "Then I would rather be a short-lived ghost without any blessings."
"Your Highness! Please don't say such discouraging words!" Qing Xing was startled. Although she knew that it was dark in the middle of the night and no one would hear their conversation, she still looked around vigilantly. After making sure that no one was around, she said to Concubine Hui cautiously, "Your Highness, please don't say such words in the future. If His Majesty hears them, he will definitely be furious!"
"Don't worry, I won't say such things again," Concubine Hui pursed her lips lightly and patted Qing Xing's hand. "Besides, when you leave the palace, I won't even have anyone to talk to sincerely, so how can I say such discouraging words again?"
"Your Highness..." Qing Xing was sad again. When she spoke again, her voice was slightly choked with sobs. "The day after tomorrow is the day I will leave the palace. From now on, I will no longer be able to serve you. Your Highness, you must take care of yourself!"
"I see. You've started nagging again. You're young, but you always like nagging. Aren't you afraid that Guard Fang will be annoyed by your nagging?" Concubine Hui said with a smile.
"My Lady! You are teasing me again!" Qing Xing blushed with shame, but she couldn't help but smiled, then whispered, "He doesn't dare to dislike me. If he does, I will beat him up!"
"How can a guard like you be defeated by a mere girl?" Concubine Hui was still laughing.
