And there is a kind of pain that makes people unable to shed tears at all.

Chapter 10(1)

Yuan Jianing was in a very gloomy mood, causing the entire East Palace to become cautious.

Everyone knows that if you accidentally offend the prince, as long as it is not a big problem, the prince may forgive you.But if you accidentally offend the Crown Princess and make her unhappy, then you will be punished by His Highness and your life will be worse than death.

The Crown Princess is His Royal Highness's heart and soul. This is a fact that everyone in the East Palace has deeply realized over the past few years.

However, if the person who offends the Crown Princess is the Crown Prince himself, everyone will be helpless and suffer the consequences.

Suddenly there were more than a dozen beautiful young women in the East Palace. How could everyone in the East Palace not understand what these women were used for?No wonder the Crown Princess was unhappy, no woman would be happy if this happened to her.

However, the Crown Princess has a special status. Just like the Queen, she has the responsibility to take charge of the Crown Prince's many women. Since she married the Crown Prince, she should have understood this truth long ago. It is really beneath the Crown Princess's dignity and upbringing to still feel so miserable that she is dying.

The princess will be a queen in the future, and the queen wants her mother to respect the world. How can she be so jealous?Where has the woman's virtue gone?

Not to mention the rumors from the outside world, even the many maids and eunuchs in the East Palace may not actually support the Crown Princess very much in their hearts, and they will inevitably whisper a few words in private.

But did the Crown Princess really do anything heinous?

She just wanted to keep her man, live peacefully, and live a peaceful and happy life.

[The impure description in this paragraph has been deleted, I am extremely sorry]

She knew she shouldn't be angry with him, but she just suddenly felt tired.

They have been married for just over five years, and they are still under 21 years old. They still have a long life to spend together. As for the issue of women in Xuan Yuan, that's it for the prince now. What will happen if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future?

She couldn't even think about it.

Yuan Jianing suffered from insomnia for several days and felt very lack of energy when she woke up in the morning. Sometimes she just stayed in bed, feeling lazy and not wanting to do anything.

She knew that she was wrong, and Niuniu was still waiting for her to take care of her, but it was as if her whole body had been drained, with no strength or energy.

Yuan Jianing is ill.

When she fell ill, the palace maids Jin Ping and Jin An took turns waiting by her bed overnight. Niu Niu often came to see her, but she refused to see her. She was afraid that her illness would affect her daughter, and she was also afraid that her haggard appearance would frighten her daughter.

Yuan Jianing heard from Jin happy, another palace maid, that not long ago, His Royal Highness the Prince specially summoned the beauty Qi Yuyao sent by his mother, and the two stayed in the study room in the front hall for a long time.

Yuan Jianing didn't want to think about anything. She felt that if she doubted Xuan Yuan, it would be a betrayal of the relationship between the two of them.

She thought, how can a woman love herself and be truly strong?Perhaps behind every strong woman there is a lot of helplessness and sadness, right?

Because that pure emotion is so rare, women can only pretend that they don't care at all, and instead care about their children, their status, their wealth and splendor. Then they arm themselves layer by layer with "pretending to be strong" in the days when they have no heart, and gradually turn into a cold-faced woman.

Yuan Jianing couldn't help but beat the pillow with her hands. This action reminded her of the childish action of Xuan Yuan beating the bed on their wedding night after they were embarrassed. How happy were they at that time?

In just a few years, time had destroyed her into such a depressed and resentful woman?

Yuan Jianing, who suddenly realized this, blinked his eyes, suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, and burst into a bright smile. He stretched out his hand and made a fist in the air, waved it twice, and then shouted loudly: "Come here, help me freshen up."

She is such a fool, why should she torture herself like this?

How could she just give in?

If one day, Xuan Yuan really wants to give up their original oath of love, it will not be too late for her to abandon him without mercy.But before that, she has to do everything she can to work hard for her own happiness.

When Xuan Yuan was in the study room of Xinglong Hall and heard that the Crown Princess was asking for an audience, he couldn't help but be very happy.

He knew that the recent series of events had made Yuan Jianing deeply hit and depressed. This was different from her usual coquettishness and pettyness. He couldn't coax her well, so she could only come out on her own, and the only thing he could do was to accompany her silently.

She's good, he wants her.

If she is not good, he wants her even more. Otherwise, who can take care of her as carefully and considerately as he does?

Yuan Jianing walked into the study alone without anyone else. She was dressed in the formal attire of a princess. She had lost a lot of weight due to illness during the recent period, but she finally regained her energy at this moment. Her eyes were bright and lively, which made her look more and more beautiful.

Xuan Yuan came forward in surprise, reached out and held her little hand. Her hands seemed much thinner, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

"Jianing?" He called her softly.

Yuan Jianing smiled at him, pulled him to sit side by side on the couch, and then said, "I feel a lot more comfortable today, so I got up and walked around. I missed you, so I came over to see you."

Xuan Yuan's throat was a little hard. Although he firmly believed that his sister Ning was a strong woman, he would be afraid to see her almost desperate look recently.

He pulled her into his arms, his arms just pushing harder and harder.

Although it hurt a little from being strangled, Yuan Jianing suddenly felt at ease. She said, "I heard that you sent Qi Yuyao back to Yanjing?"

Xuan Yuan said "Ah" and suddenly remembered something. He reluctantly let go of Yuan Jianing, turned around and took out a letter from the desk, handed it to Yuan Jianing, and said, "This is the reply that my father-in-law sent at great speed. Take a look." A sly smile flashed in his eyes.

Yuan Jianing, Yuan Jianing's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but read the letter back and forth several times. It was hard to believe that his father, who was always graceful in his impression and would never change his color even if the mountain collapsed, could actually quote the classics and curse without uttering curse words for a whole piece of paper.

Yuan Jianing turned to look at Xuan Yuan suspiciously and asked, "What did you do to make your father so angry?"

Xuan Yuan suddenly showed a childish and naughty look, winked at her and said, "It's nothing, it's just a courtesy. I sent the cold beauty Qi Yuyao back to my father-in-law to warm the bed."

Yuan Jianing was stunned.

He added: "You see, I am still young after all, so I won't feel bad even if I sleep alone. But my father-in-law is old and lacks energy. There are many people warming his bed and sharing the worries for my mother-in-law. I think my mother-in-law will also think that I am a very filial son-in-law, right?"

Yuan Jianing stared at Xuan Yuan blankly for a long time.

Xuan Yuan felt a little guilty when he saw her sparkling eyes, and asked, "What's wrong? Do you also think I'm being too silly?"

"Ah!" Yuan Jianing suddenly shouted and threw herself into Xuan Yuan's arms. Regardless of her heavy formal attire as a princess, she nuzzled around in Xuan Yuan's arms like a happy puppy and kept saying, "Yuan Lang! Yuan Lang! You are so big.How dare you!But what should I do?I’m so happy!Hahaha, I really want to see the livid faces of my father and my mother.I don’t know who will be more angry at this time.Hahaha, mother, haha!

Hearing this long-lost call, the tight string in Xuan Yuan's heart finally relaxed.

Xuan Yuan stroked her hair with his hand. It was the first time in a long time that he smiled so easily and said, "Although it's a bit nonsense, my father-in-law may call her unfilial, but as long as you are happy."

Yuan Jianing's laughter slowly stopped. She raised her head and looked at Xuan Yuan, stretched out her hand to gently touch the stubble on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'm sorry, I've been too arrogant during this period and neglected you. Maybe every princess will encounter difficulties like mine, but I must be the luckiest and happiest princess! Yuan Lang..."

She wanted to say, thank you.

She wanted to say, I love you.

But she suddenly felt that she couldn't even speak out. Even if she did, she couldn't express even one ten thousandth of her feelings.
