Chapter 962: Still haunting her
Chu Xiyan said with a cold face: "Princess, I have been ordered by Concubine Chen to go to Yuhua Pavilion to offer Buddhist scriptures. I'm sorry that I don't have time to talk to you."
The nannies serving the eldest princess now were all arranged by Concubine Zhuang. When they saw a little palace maid dared to be so rude to the eldest princess, they were about to scold her.
But when Chu Xiyan said that she was working for Concubine Chen, the nannies fell silent instantly.
The princess lowered her head helplessly: "Okay..."
Chu Xiyan bowed and turned away without looking back.
The nurse said to the eldest princess, "Princess, you are a royal princess, how can you call a lowly servant 'sister'?"
The eldest princess raised her little head and said, "But Sister Xiyan used to serve in Yongshou Palace and was very kind to me."
"Mother also said that children should be polite."
These nannies had only been serving the eldest princess for a short time and did not quite understand her temper, so they did not dare to talk back at her, but were rather disdainful in their hearts.
The daughter of an emperor actually calls me "sister". She is truly willing to lower herself to a low level.
Chu Xiyan didn't expect that when she came to Yuhua Pavilion to offer the Buddhist scriptures and returned to Zhongcui Palace, the eldest princess was still in the imperial garden.
As soon as she saw Chu Xiyan, the princess quickly ran over here, obviously waiting for her: "Sister Xiyan!"
Chu Xiyan frowned, suppressed her impatience, and bowed again: "...I wonder what the princess wants to say?"
The eldest princess felt a little sad when she saw Chu Xiyan's cold look.
Obviously, Sister Xiyan didn't treat her like this before...
Is it because there are nannies around that Sister Xiyan has to maintain the distinction between high and low in order not to violate palace rules?
Thinking of this, the eldest princess waved her hand and said to the nannies, "You all go down."
"Yes."
Although the nannies did not dare to disobey the order of the eldest princess, they did not dare to leave her here alone. So they just retreated to a place far away where they could still see the eldest princess.
"Sister Xiyan..."
As soon as the princess opened her mouth, Chu Xiyan interrupted her with a bow: "Princess, you are noble and I am humble. Please call me a lowly person from now on. Don't call me 'sister' anymore. It's embarrassing for me."
Although Chu Xiyan spoke respectfully, the eldest princess clearly felt her distant attitude.
The eldest princess was a little sad: "Sister Xiyan...Xiyan, do you still hate Yun'er's mother?"
Whether it was the eldest princess or Chu Xiyan, they both understood that the "mother concubine" here referred to Liu Shiqing.
When mentioning the murderer who killed her parents, hatred welled up in Chu Xiyan's eyes!
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Noble Lady Liu has been sentenced to death by His Majesty. All the grudges have been written off. I wonder what the point is for the princess to bring this up now?"
The eldest princess said sincerely: "Xi Yan, these days I have been in the Buddhist temple of Mother Zhuang every day, chanting sutras for Mother to atone for her sins. Please don't blame Mother anymore, let's still be good friends like before, okay?"
Looking at the innocent smile on the eldest princess' face, Chu Xiyan really didn't understand why she was so naive as to think that she could erase the crimes committed by Liu Shiqing by reciting a few verses?
She had clearly made it clear that when a person dies, all debts are settled, and she had no intention of dwelling on these matters anymore, so why did the eldest princess still haunt her? !
However, there is a difference between the high and the low. Even if Chu Xiyan had a lot of anger and resentment in her heart, she could only be patient and said in a calm tone: "Princess, I just said that there is a huge difference between my status and yours, and I am not worthy of being your friend."
"Xiyan, you are still angry with Yun'er and mother..."
The eldest princess pursed her lips, and tears welled up in her beautiful peach blossom eyes that were very similar to Liu Shiqing's: "As the saying goes, it is good to admit one's mistakes and correct them, which is the greatest virtue."
"My mother is gone, and Yun'er is atoning for her sins. Why can't you be more generous and forgive her? Why must your heart be filled with hatred?"
"Xiyan, Yun'er is really chanting sutras to atone for mother's sins. Don't be so stingy. Just forgive mother, okay?"
She really wants to continue to be good friends with Sister Xiyan.
Chu Xiyan suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart, and her chest heaved with anger!
Even though she had been trying hard to control herself, she couldn't hold it back anymore.
She looked at the eldest princess and asked mockingly, "Forgive? Princess, it's so easy for you to say that! With just a few words, you can resolve the hatred for the murder of your father and mother!"
"If someone beat your mother to death first, and then sent out guards to kill your father, and her daughter came to you with a clear conscience and asked you to forgive her, could you do it?!"
"Princess, you are well-read and should understand the principle of not doing to others what you do not want others to do to you!"
The eldest princess's father is the current emperor...
Chu Xiyan was so angry that she even said such outrageous words.
The eldest princess was not angry. She thought about it carefully for a while, then nodded seriously: "Xiyan, Yun'er can do it."
"Just like Yun'er said just now, it is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. As long as the other party is truly repentant, Yun'er will forgive her."
"So why can't you let go of the hatred in your heart like Yun'er and live happily in the future?"
"As long as you want, we can still be best friends like before!"
Meeting the eldest princess' innocent eyes, Chu Xiyan was speechless even though she was filled with anger.
If the eldest princess really has double standards and says such hypocritical words, she has ten thousand ways to refute the other party!
But the eldest princess' eyes and expression told Chu Xiyan that she was serious.
Even if someone really killed her parents in front of her, she could forgive them as long as they repented.
At this moment, Chu Xiyan didn't know what words to use to describe the princess...
Too kind, or...
That's it.
Not enough words to speculate.
Chu Xiyan took a deep breath, calmed down the emotions in her heart, and gave the eldest princess a meticulous greeting: "Eldest Princess, the Imperial Concubine Chen is still waiting for me to serve her, so I will take my leave first."
After she finished speaking, she left without looking back.
"Sister Xiyan..."
The eldest princess looked at Chu Xiyan's back, feeling lost and sad, and the tears in her peach blossom eyes finally fell.
Seeing Chu Xiyan leave, the nannies all gathered around.
Seeing the tears on the eldest princess's face, they were instantly shocked: "Princess, why are you crying?!"
"Did that little palace maid bully you just now?!"
