To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 187 Trampling

  It had just rained heavily, and even though the sun came out in the morning, the road was not completely dry.

  The muddy embroidered shoe is so close to the nose, you can clearly smell the mud.

   Chao Hua trembled her eyelids, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Crown Princess, for saving the punishment of the concubine."

  She didn't move, let alone hide, letting her toes rest on her chin.

   The humiliation is overwhelming, but it can only be kept silent.

  The princess once said that they are hers, and with her around, they don't have to wrong themselves, and they can just live as they should.

  But the princess is gone.

   Chaohua finally couldn't help but wet the corners of her eyes.

  Seeing that Chaohua is not noisy, the princess feels bored and puts her feet down.

   It doesn’t work if you don’t let go, the golden rooster can’t last too long on its own.

   "Yu Xuan attendant."

   "The concubine is here."

"In the future, you must remember to be safe and guard yourselves. If you continue to act recklessly, even if you are protected by His Royal Highness, I will not forgive you lightly!" The princess looked at the woman who used to always put on a posture of being flattered and humiliated, and now she was crawling at her feet in embarrassment. Very happy.

   "The concubine knows." Chao Hua put her forehead on the ground again, her posture humble.

  The Crown Princess curled her lips in satisfaction, and her eyes fell on Chaohua's wrist.

  The light in the room is dim, but the gold-encrusted seven-treasure bracelet is still dazzling.

  The Crown Princess frowned, feeling that such a bracelet would be very eye-catching on that wrist.

  She raised her foot and lightly stepped on the bracelet, and at the same time stepped on the slender wrist wearing the bracelet.

   Chao Hua raised her head in astonishment: "Crown Princess—"

  Prince Princess curled her lips and sneered, and the voice fell into Chao Hua's ears, as if a basin of ice water had been poured on her head, making her tremble all over.

   "I'm thinking, what's so special about this bracelet that you, the princess, and Miss Luo all like it so much."

  The Crown Princess still remembers the shock she felt when she first found out that the bracelet worn by Wei Wen, the princess, was exactly the same as that worn by Yu Xuanshi.

  She inquired quietly, only to find out that the bracelets were originally a pair, and they were the dowry left by Princess Qingyang.

   Such a pair of bracelets, one in the hands of the prince’s younger sister and the other in the hands of the prince’s concubine, what about her, the princess?

  The existence of this bracelet is to remind her that she, the concubine who is being married by the media, is not as important as a lowly maid in the heart of the prince.

   In the past, Yuxuan waiter kept a low profile, so she couldn't do anything about it.

   Now, even if the crown prince changes his mind and picks up his love for Yuxuan attendant, she is not afraid that the prince will throw face at her because of a concubine.

  She is the hostess of the Eastern Palace. If she is determined to deal with a guilty concubine, the crown prince can only accept it.

   It was also the prince's fault that it spread to the ears of the emperor.

  Of course, a husband and wife are one body, one prospers and the other loses. As long as the prince is not so excessive, she will not do this.

  The golden bracelet was on the soft soles, and the princess was very satisfied with the fear shown by the woman kneeling on the ground.

  She put her feet away, and coldly ordered the servant girl who followed: "Take off the gold bracelet of servant Yuxuan."

   Chao Hua's plain face turned pale immediately, and the uncontrollable fear made her unable to move for a moment.

  It wasn't until a maid in the palace leaned over and grabbed her hand to take off the bracelet that Chaohua woke up like a dream, and she held on to the bracelet and begged the princess.

   "Crown Princess, this is the idea left by the master for the concubine, please be merciful, don't take it away—"

"Seize?" This word touched the crown princess's nerves and made her very annoyed, "It's just taking away a gold bracelet, but you actually said it was snatching? Hehe, His Highness really doted on you for too long, making you unaware of the heights of heaven and earth. The crime you have committed is not too much to pay for with your life, and you are still protecting a bracelet."

  The Crown Princess approached two steps, leaned slightly: "Servant Yuxuan, you miss the old master so much, why don't you die with your own body?"

   In the final analysis, he is just a **** who deliberately takes advantage of His Highness's affection for Princess Qingyang to compete for favor.

   Chaohua ignored the irony. Seeing that the concubine was approaching, she suddenly grabbed her ankle and begged, "Prince concubine, maidservant and concubine will definitely keep their own place in the future, and will never obstruct your eyes—"

  The Crown Princess couldn't bear to listen to this, and said coldly: "What are you still doing, take off the bracelet!"

  Seeing Chaohua struggling hard, another maid hurriedly stepped forward to help, one of them held her down, and the other went to get the bracelet.

  Watching the bracelet being taken off, Zhao Hua blushed: "Crown Princess, do you really want to give me a way out?"

  The crown princess looked at the woman who was completely out of shape and had no dignity, how could she talk nonsense with her, and walked away with a sneer.

   "Crown Princess, please return the bracelet to me, please—"

   Behind Chaohua's heart-piercing shouts, the princess stopped in the narrow and secluded courtyard, only feeling happy.

  For so many years, although it is said that there is no need to treat a concubine as an opponent, how could it be possible not to respond in my heart.

  Now, finally, the thorn that was threatening her was pulled out.

  Princess Princess raised her feet and walked out.

  Cuihong and Qing'er saluted together: "Respectfully send off the Crown Princess."

  The Crown Princess paused and stopped in front of the two of them.

   "You two must take good care of Yuxuan servant." After saying these words, the princess strode away with the maid.

   Cuihong got up and looked towards the door of the house.

  The door of the house was ajar, and there were muffled cries from inside.

   "I'll go and see the servant." Qing'er ran in.

   Cui Hong brushed off her clothes, and then walked in slowly.

  As soon as Qing'er entered the door, she was taken aback.

   "Choice waiter, why are you lying on the ground!"

   Chao Hua lay motionless on the floor, as if she didn't notice anyone coming, her eyes were empty as if she had lost her soul.

  Qing'er used a lot of strength to help her up, and sent her to the bed to lie down.

   Seeing Chaohua lost her soul and completely lost her usual indifference, Qing'er's nose soured: "Choose waiter, you want to order something, servant girl go get you something to eat."

  I haven't eaten anything since the morning of choosing a waiter. The waiter is weak, how can he go on like this.

   "Xianshi, you wait." Qing'er wiped the corner of her eyes and walked out, bumping into Cui Hongzheng.

   "Cuihong, don't talk nonsense about choosing a servant!" Qing'er gave a warning and walked out quickly.

   Cui Hong pursed her lips, walked to the bedside, and said with a light smile, "What happened to the servant?"

  The people on the bed remained silent.

Cui Hong's eyes fell on Chaohua's wrist, and she couldn't help laughing: "Yo, it seems that the precious bracelet of the selection servant is gone. Let me tell you, His Highness rewarded the selection servant with so many good things before, and a gold bracelet is gone. What's the matter. Uh, by the way, I heard that the bracelet was left by the master who chose the servant—"

   Chaohua, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his eyes and stared straight at Cuihong.

   Cui Hong froze for a moment, and became more annoyed: "Why, the servant still thinks that she is the person on the top of His Highness's heart?"

   "Did the princess ask you to expose me?" Chao Hua asked hoarsely.

   Cui Hong twitched her lips: "The selection servant still wants to ask His Highness to sue the Crown Princess?"

   "Why? I think I've been treating you kindly." Chao Hua asked word by word.

  There was an undercurrent in her eyes, and her voice calmed down at some point.
