Chang 'an felt that she had grown up a long time ago, but her mother said that real growth should not be like this.
Then, what was it?
Although no one said anything, the Prime Minister's wife had been looking at Chang 'an seriously. Chang' an could also feel the worry in her mother's eyes and felt a little guilty. She really just didn't want her mother to worry. She didn't mean to not tell her mother.
After a long silence, Chang 'an said,""Mother, what do you think Chang 'an should do to be considered a real grown-up?”
A real grown-up should be able to calmly deal with problems, be able to analyze rationally, and not blindly hide.
The Prime Minister's wife looked at Chang 'an worriedly and frowned." Don't tell me that you think you're hiding something from me when you grow up? Chang 'an-I'm your mother! If you don't tell me something, who else can you tell? Who else can I discuss it with?"
Chang 'an was speechless by her mother's question. She didn't think too much. She just didn't want her mother to worry.
"Chang Ning…she's already back tonight.”
Chang 'an looked at her mother in surprise. For a moment, she did not react. Why did she suddenly mention Lin Changning? Was she back tonight? Chang 'an did not understand why it was at this time tonight. What was the Empress thinking?
"Mother, is what you just said true? Changning, she…"
Chang 'an was still suspicious. He even suspected that he had heard wrongly. However, it was obvious that the truth was the truth and could not be tampered with.
The Prime Minister's wife nodded." Yes, that's true. Chang Ning came back tonight, not long before you came back…"
It was also because of this that she was so worried. She was worried that Chang 'an could be sent back because Chang' an's sorrow was left in the palace...
"I don't know what's going on either. Mother must be so worried because of this. Don't worry, I'm back safely!”
Chang 'an held her mother's hand again. At this moment, she really felt very safe…After experiencing the fear of this night, she could still sit face to face with her mother and casually chat about the big and small things in life. It was really rare to be able to sit so peacefully.
The Prime Minister's wife held Chang 'an's hand and nodded in relief." Yes, you don't know how worried I was at that time. I was really afraid that you would never come back. If you entered the palace and wanted to come out again... it was really impossible.”
She looked at Chang 'an, her gaze so gentle that it could squeeze out water, as if…she could not get enough of him. She stroked Chang' an's fair little face and sighed,""You're still so young, and you still have a long way to go. If you really enter the palace, then…Mother really doesn't know what your life will be like in the future.”
After all, King Yong of Qi was such a powerless emperor, and Chang 'an was indeed beautiful. If he did not have enough ability to protect himself in the future--under the premise of not having a solid support.
In the eyes of the Prime Minister's wife, it was extremely difficult for Chang 'an, who had not experienced the dangers of the world, to gain a foothold in the harem.
"Mother can really rest assured now. Your daughter is right in front of you! There is no need to worry about this. Your daughter can guarantee to your mother that she will definitely not enter the palace in the future! Definitely! I will definitely do as I say…"
Chang 'an looked into her mother's eyes firmly. The Prime Minister's wife could see her own face in Chang' an's black pupils. It seemed that it was not only her face reflected in them, but also something that she could not understand... deep and painful.
"It's not that Mother doesn't trust you. It's just that you also know that at certain times, many things can't be controlled by one's own strength. Do you think it's up to us to decide whether we enter the palace or not?”
At such a young age, he had never experienced the world, so where did his profoundness come from? And this pain…The Prime Minister's wife looked at Chang 'an with a look of inquiry.
Chang 'an didn't care. She didn't know that she had inadvertently revealed her inner emotions.
"But in fact, it can be changed. As long as we make the corresponding efforts…everything depends on human effort! Mother, why are you so pessimistic?"
The Prime Minister's wife shook her head. She heard the sound of the night watch coming from outside the window. It was indeed late, but why had the Prime Minister not returned yet?
Chang 'an also remembered that her father should have come back, but he hadn't…Did something go wrong?
"Father, he…"
" Madam, Miss, Master is back."
Suddenly hearing the figure of the servant outside, Chang 'an's heart finally relaxed…It was good that he was back. The palace was really not a place where one could stay. Conspiracy, scheming, leaving that place early to avoid getting into trouble was the real way to protect oneself…
"Father-"
The Prime Minister had just stepped into the door when Chang 'an called him father. When he saw his father approaching from the darkness, Chang 'an thought that he had kept many things in his heart for too long. It was better to say it earlier.
"Hmm…it's late, why aren't you going back to rest?”
The Prime Minister was still expressionless. Chang 'an looked at her father, who was so serious that he did not smile. She did not know what to say to make her father happy. Moreover, she really did not dare to say anything...
"Father, Mother and I are very worried about you. Are you alright?”
There were some words that one would never have the chance to say if they were to hold back. Therefore, Chang 'an did not hesitate and asked directly.
The Prime Minister nodded and pursed his lips. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Um…Nothing much!"
Chang 'an saw that his father did not want to say more, so he did not want to ask any more questions." Since father has returned, it's getting late. Father and mother should rest quickly. Chang' an will take his leave first..."
"Okay, go back and rest…"
*——*——*
After returning to his room, Chang 'an sat at the table for a while and suddenly remembered that he had left his book in the carriage.
"Qiaohui, did you not get my book back?”
Qiao Hui pointed at the desk." Isn't that so?”
"Hmm? When did you bring it in? I was just thinking that if I really left it in the carriage, I would be in trouble if my mother saw me tomorrow…and I would inevitably be reprimanded. Qiaohui is still the most meticulous. With you by my side, I don't have to worry.”
Qiao Hui smiled." Miss, you're worrying too much. When has Qiao Hui not been so meticulous?" Why did Miss suddenly praise Qiaohui today?”
Chang An pursed her lips and smiled." I'm just a little emotional today. You're not allowed to say it yet!”
"Alright! Miss, don't be so talkative. Qiaohui understands what Miss is thinking. Why aren't you resting now?”
It was already very late at night, but Chang 'an was not sleepy at all. He did not want to sleep, and he could not sleep.
Qiao Hui blew out the candle and went out. Chang An lay quietly in bed thinking about tomorrow's matter…
Tomorrow, tomorrow was a brand new day. Would her hatred deepen?
——*——*——
"Young Miss, Young Miss…Young Miss…Hurry up and get up! Someone from the palace is looking for him!"
Chang 'an was still sleepy. Qiao Hui shook violently. Chang' an opened his eyes tiredly and saw Qiao Hui in front of him. He didn't know what had happened!
"Qiaohui! What was going on? Look at how anxious you are!"
Chang An slowly sat up, stretched his back, and yawned. His body had not even started to move yet. All his movements seemed so…slow to Qiaohui!
"Miss, did you hear what I said? Someone from the palace came looking for her and asked her to enter the palace immediately!”
It was really the Emperor who was not in a hurry to kill the eunuch. Qiao Hui was practically shouting. She tried very hard to restrain herself so that she did not use a higher voice to remind Chang 'an. The people in the palace had been waiting, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.
"What?"
Chang An put down her arm that had just been stretched out. The white nightgown woven from natural silk made her skin look even fairer. Just looking at her made her want to touch her…However, Qiao Hui was too anxious to pay attention to the beautiful woman in front of her. She was lazy, sleepy, and her hair was messy.
"They're at the old master's place. They've been waiting for a long time…"
Qiaohui shrugged helplessly." Miss, you really sleep too much. I didn't even notice it before?!”
Chang 'an was no longer as lazy as before. She anxiously looked for her clothes and hurriedly put them on herself. As she put on her clothes, she kept muttering," Change clothes…Hurry up and change clothes!”
"Miss! Miss, don't be anxious…"
Qiao Hui really wanted to laugh when she helped Chang 'an put on her clothes, but she held back her laughter. She was in a hurry all the way and finally arrived at her father's study.
Chang 'an saw the two eunuchs standing in front of his father's desk with two palace maids standing beside them...
Unexpectedly, four people came to pick her up. Chang 'an felt a little surprised. She was just going to the palace to serve as a nominal sinecure. Secretary... How many palace maids and eunuchs were guarding the royal study? It was not her turn to work hard.
Thinking about it, he felt that it couldn't be someone sent by the Emperor. It was most likely a hostage of the State of Wei!
"Alright, we can go now."
Chang 'an tidied up his clothes and Qiao Hui helped him tidy them up. After confirming that everything was ready, Chang' an said to the four palace servants,""I've really troubled the four of you to make this trip…"
" It's nothing, it's no trouble at all. Miss might not be used to it on the first day, but she'll get used to it after a while. It'll be fine once she gets used to it…"
"That's right, these servants are only following the orders of their master. How is it hard and troublesome!”
These two eunuchs must have a higher status than these two palace maids…Chang 'an thought in his heart. In a while, he must first beat around the bush to find out what kind of temperament this hostage of the State of Wei had. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with him!
