Chen Yun didn't understand. Why was Su Xiaoman blushing when it was just a thing with neat packaging and bright colors?

He pushed Su Xiaoman's hand away and said, "I took this from Lu Jinchuan just before I left. What is this?"

He squeezed it hard, and there seemed to be a ring-shaped thing inside, which was slippery and moved away when he squeezed it. It was very silky.

So he tore open the packaging of Duleis and asked Su Xiaoman: "What is this thing used for? Teach me."

(?Д?)ノ

Su Xiaoman's face was as red as a monkey's butt: [I'll teach you a lesson! ]

Turn around and run.

At dusk, Chen Jiayu changed into a peach pink cross-collared skirt, which was her favorite style before she got married.

Bright pear makeup and cross bun.

Not only the clothes, but also the makeup and hairstyle are based on the previous appearance.

Lan'er, the personal maid, couldn't help but say, "The princess is dressed the same as before she got married. I can't help but feel dazed, as if time has gone backwards."

Chen Jiayu heard this and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Before I got married, I never thought that I would live like..."

She frowned slightly but didn't utter the word "puppet".

Chen Jiayu was once a proud little princess, but all of this was shattered when the previous emperor passed away.

After the death of the previous emperor, Su Jinyi was honored as the empress dowager. She was extremely sad and selected many concubines to be buried with the previous emperor.

But in the past, when choosing concubines to be buried alive, they were generally those who had been favored but had no status and no children.

But this time, the Empress Dowager received dreams from the late Emperor for two consecutive days, asking her to choose some of her beloved ones to go to the underworld together!

Therefore, with the support of Prime Minister Jiang Yan, several concubines who were favored by the late emperor and whose family backgrounds were not very powerful were also included in the burial list, including Chen Jiayu's mother.

From then on, Chen Jiayu lived in fear all day long and depended on others for his life.

As a result, she developed a submissive and fragile character.

I met Duan Xingchen at the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner that year.

That day, Chen Jiayue felt that the palace banquet was boring, so she dragged Chen Jiayu to the lotus pond to pick osmanthus branches.

The osmanthus tree stretched obliquely toward the lake, and Chen Jiayue was inspired and insisted on cutting it herself.

But she lost balance and fell into the lake. In panic, she grabbed Chen Jiayu and fell into the lake together.

The place where Chen Jiayue fell into the water was close to the shore and was pulled ashore by the palace maids, but Chen Jiayu was thrown deeper into the lake by the struggling Chen Jiayue.

Everyone panicked.

At this time, Duan Xingchen, who was on duty, happened to pass by. He jumped into the lake without hesitation and rescued Chen Jiayu.

At that time, Chen Jiayu, whose whole body was soaked in the cold lake water, leaned on Duan Xingchen's warm chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and her own heartbeat also involuntarily became disordered.

"Princess, how are you?"

A year later, Duan Xingchen's soft voice and caring look are still engraved in her heart.

For Chen Jiayu, stories of heroes saving beauties were only seen in storybooks in the past.

However, after that day, she began to fantasize. She would always sneak to the places where Duan Xingchen must pass by, either to stop and watch, or to offer him some food.

However, Duan Xingchen had never thought about his relationship with Chen Jiayu from the perspective of love between men and women. He just thought that the little princess was too loyal, and she actually regarded it as a life-saving favor for just a little help.

The princess falling in love with the guard is actually a beautiful story.

However, the title of princess is just a puppet tool in the hands of the queen mother.

The fact that she fell into the water was concealed only because Chen Jiayu was afraid of being scolded by the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother knew that Chen Jiayu fell into the water, she would definitely put the blame on herself, and she might even be beaten again.

Lan Er saw her sadness and immediately changed her words: "The princess was beautiful before, but now she is even more beautiful than before. Our princess is much more beautiful than the eldest princess."

Chen Jiayu stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the mirror, as if she saw her former self. Thinking back on the past, she actually felt a little guilty about herself back then.

She asked solemnly, "Lan'er, am I wrong?"

Lan Er didn't understand and asked in confusion: "How could the princess be wrong?"

Chen Jiayu didn't know whether it was because of her pregnancy, the changes in her body's hormones that caused her mood to change drastically, or because she really had a sudden enlightenment, she muttered to herself:

"In the past, I thought the eldest princess was just a little overbearing. She still had sisterly feelings towards me. But now that I think about it today..."

Lan Er turned around and looked, then pulled up her skirt and trotted to close the palace door. She then ran back in small steps and whispered, "Princess, this is Cikang Palace. We have to be extremely careful when we talk..."

Chen Jiayu seemed not to have heard and continued, "That day, the eldest princess told me that she was willing to help me and Duan Xingchen. She just needed me to do one thing for the queen mother. As long as the queen mother is happy, granting a marriage is not a big deal."

Lan'er and Chen Jiayu have been together since childhood and can talk about anything. Chen Jiayu had naturally told Lan'er about what she mentioned today.

Lan'er didn't understand why Chen Jiayu brought up this matter again now.

Chen Jiayu looked gloomy and continued, "Later, she asked me to wait for my uncle in the side hall of Cishou Palace. When he entered the side hall, she asked me to hug him from behind. Then the empress dowager would come in. As long as the empress dowager saw and scolded my uncle, the matter would be settled..."

She snorted in self-mockery: "Was I too stupid at that time? I never thought about my reputation. I always felt that as long as I had the Queen Mother's protection, nothing would be a problem in this capital."

"Although the person in the Queen Mother's side hall that day was not the Emperor's uncle, and I was not granted marriage to Duan Xingchen, I have never doubted the Queen Mother and the Princess's love for me... Am I too stupid..."

Lan Er felt sad to see her so depressed, and consoled her: "Princess, don't be sad anymore. Now you are married and have your own residence, far away from the palace. The Prime Minister is powerful, and the Prince Consort treats the princess very well..."

Chen Jiayu sneered and lowered her head: "As one drinks the water, one knows whether it is hot or cold."

At this moment, even she herself didn't know what she was trying to achieve by obeying the Queen Mother and the eldest princess all these years.

She took the packet of poison from the dressing table, looked at it for a while as if she was worried, and then put it back into her sleeve. She asked Lan'er, "What time is it? Is it time for him to go off duty?"

Lan'er nodded: "Yes. But, the princess has seen so clearly, why do you still want to look for Commander Duan?"

Chen Jiayu stood up and said, "When my mother was still alive, she told me: It's easy to get on a pirate ship, but getting off it will be painful. Now, how can I escape unscathed so easily..."
