Chapter 368: Traces on the Heart 2

Qiao Ruoxi wore the queen mother's xia veil, red face and red lips, thick eyebrows, and a phoenix golden step on her head, which was the best luxury. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Ruosu received the order, and after leaving the table, he walked to the first place under the hypotenuse of her side and took a seat.

Qiao Ruoxi's phoenix eyes deliberately looked at her a few more times.

The age of the jasper years, the skin that is white and snowy, and a goose-yellow shawl wrapped around the shoulders, is the simplest outfit for women, but it allows her to deduce an unattainable elegance, Ruosu did not wear jewelry, she thought these things were too heavy, and it was not good to wear them on her body, and when she went out, Chu Chen alone picked a hairpin inlaid with night pearls for her.

He seemed to rejoice in these things.

Soon, some palace people added bowls and chopsticks, moon cakes folded into a hill, red and shiny pomegranates that were fried open, boiled crabs with palm-sized sizes, and a small dish of vinegar next to them.

"The women thank the Queen Mother for giving food." Ruosu got up and said respectfully.

These rules were all taught to her by Bai Ling, and she could use them freely many times.

Qiao Ruoxi's beautiful eyes wandered for a moment, and her beautiful lips smiled: "Mrs. Chu doesn't have to be formal, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, you can be casual." Counting it, the mourning family and you haven't seen each other for some days, so you have to reminisce about the old days today. ā€

She didn't know what she thought of, she glanced at the men's seat a few times, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, the girls of the Qiao family went to the painting boat to play, if she had been rescued from the bully once, who would have thought that such a weak, and vase-like woman would have such courage at a young age.

Although Qiao Ruoxi is the queen mother, she should be the most noble woman in the world, from the moment she entered the palace, she calculated step by step, it can be said that at the beginning, she never thought that after having the supreme position, she would be lonely, not even a person who spoke considerately.

The bright moon is shining, the autumn breeze is cool, and there is the fragrance of cinnamon wafting in the distance in the air, as if everything is back to the beginning, she is still the inconspicuous second miss of the Qiao family, but she was born with a gentle temperament like she used to be, but she was taken by her aunt, and since then she has been doomed to the desolation of her life.

Time is a quenched knife, looking back, full of devastation.

Looking at Ruosu's young and cunning face, thinking of Chu Chen's belief that he loved his wife like crazy, sometimes Qiao Ruoxi felt that he had made a big mistake in his life.

The eighth princess sat on the other side of the queen mother's phoenix, sitting opposite Ruosu, she hated Ruosu to the bone, and found that she was more charming and pretty, and immediately snorted in a nasal voice, not wanting to see her at a glance, only said to the food in front of her: "The palace horse loves to eat crabs, come here, send this plate of crab roe to the horse in the palace." ā€

In the face of Ruosu, the eighth princess felt that she couldn't get over her face, after all, the person she once fell in love with Chu Chen was Ruosu, and this move was undoubtedly to tell others that she also had a husband, and this person was still Wen Tianyou, who could compete with Chu Chen.

When Ruo Su heard this, he raised his head and asked, "Horse?" Does the princess have a colt? "I don't know what kind of horse it is. It's so delicate that you still have to eat crab roe? This one crab can cover the rations of ordinary people for a family of four for a few days.

The eighth princess thought that she had successfully attracted Ruosu's attention, and lazily straightened the eight treasures on her head, her usual arrogance did not seem to have diminished a little because of the months in the imperial tomb, and said: "There are naturally horses in this palace, and the big wedding in this palace is imminent, and the whole capital knows about it, hasn't Mrs. Hou heard?" Don't forget to go to the Princess's Mansion for a wedding drink. ā€

Ruo Su was eating the broken skin moon cake with meat floss, and the palace maid next to her was waiting to cut it into small pieces, and then handed her nectar to eat, Chu Chen had a cold temperament, and others thought that Mrs. Chu was not easy to serve, but she was so easy-going. The palace maid saw that she had eaten a few bites, and brought warm tea to drink.

Ruosu swallowed, his head running rapidly: The princess's wedding? What does it have to do with horses?

When the beauty thinks seriously, it is even more memorable, Ruosu paused, frowned slightly, racking her brains. The ladies would look here a few times from time to time, but they didn't dare to stare straight at it, it was disrespectful to the queen mother.

The eighth princess thought that her marriage to Wen Tianyou had greatly frustrated her former rival in love, and chuckled: "The horse in this palace is the dragon among the people, and the Tanhualang hand-picked by his father back then is not inferior to Chu Sima in terms of literary talent, not to mention Wuyi, I think I killed a bear with my bare hands back then." "The eighth princess lives in the harem and has rarely seen the world, in her eyes, the commander of the Jinyi Guard is the most powerful person in the world's martial arts, otherwise how can she serve as the head of the 'spy'!

Ruo Su Fan's lips opened slightly, and her white little face gradually became red, and she gradually realized it.

It turns out that a colt is not a horse! Be..... The princess's husband?

It's a big joke!

Chu Chen didn't remind her that she also said that she wanted to ride a horse.

Just think about it...... How could she ride a colt! That's not keeping women's morals......

Ruo Su looked at the men's table indignantly, and from a long distance, she could still see the beautiful man drinking and chatting with her colleagues, she almost lost face and lost her hair, and her heart was extremely angry.

All this was in the eyes of the eighth princess, and she thought that Ruosu was depressed after hearing about her marriage.

Behold, you are white, and there are times when you envy me and envy me one day.

The eighth princess took a sip of the wine paid tribute from the Western Regions, pretending to be dignified and luxurious to cover up the panic in the heart of a princess who had no real power. In fact, she is looking for a sense of existence, and the more people who have been admired and worshipped, the more they need a sense of identity and existence after the passage of time.

Even the slightest 'unsatisfactory' will make her have a great decline.

People are like this, the more they care about something, the more they emphasize it in every way, lest others don't know.

Ruosu ate a few bites of crab roe, and the palace maid behind her bent forward and whispered: "Mrs. Chu, Sima Chu has explained before, let you use less cool things, and the slave will pour goat milk for you to warm your stomach." ā€

The voice of the palace maid was not loud, but Qiao Ruoxi and the eighth princess who were sitting next to her heard it clearly, this Chu Chen's wife was protected by this, which is also rare in the world.

The eighth princess didn't speak, just sipping the wine, and suddenly felt that the taste had changed, and there was no sweetness of Fang Cai, but some astringency was added. ā€

Qiao Ruoxi's phoenix eyes casually glanced at Ruosu, who was in the middle of being delicate, and finally understood Lu Pheasant's mood of making Mrs. Qi an adult, and the woman's jealousy was probably the most difficult resentment in the world.

Ruo Su heard the words and looked up at her.

Qiao Ruoxi continued: "Chu Sima cherished his wife, but he gave you up to save the emperor that day, and now the mourning family trembles when they think of the cold cliff, who would have expected that your life would be blessed and you would come back alive?" I'm afraid that Chu Sima himself was also surprised, but it is really a great luck that you can come back, otherwise the mourning family will have trouble sleeping and eating for the rest of their lives. ā€

Qiao Ruoxi said slowly, everyone knew about the cliff that time, she guessed that Ruosu lost her mind and didn't remember anything, and she shouldn't remember it, so she might as well create an opportunity for Ruosu to know.

I don't want others to get what I can't get.

Didn't Chu Chen reject her thousands of miles away? Qiao Ruoxi was very curious, if Ruosu knew everything, would she be obedient and obedient to be a little wife, and Chu Chen would tolerate her unreasonable trouble.

This decision is obviously very stupid, if Chu Chen is angry with her, then her fate will probably catch up with the claustrophobic concubine Niangniang, Qiao Ruoxi also learned that the concubine died a few days ago, the aunt who was peerless, favored the harem, and pulled her into this abyss with her own hands, actually died.

In fact, with Qiao Ruoxi's status today, it is easy to kill a waste concubine in a cold palace, but she has kept Concubine Shu untouched, and she also wants her to taste the taste of long years and boundless loneliness. The flowers bloomed and bloomed, and they bloomed again, but they were the only women who could only be trapped in these four heavens until they died, and there was no way out.

Qiao Ruoxi finished speaking, Feng looked at Ruosu with a smile, saw that she was stunned and silent, and said with a little surprise: "Mrs. Chu, what's wrong?" Don't.... You don't know about it? This..... Oh, you see what the mourning family is talking nonsense to you, you don't have to take it seriously, Chu Sima treats you really well, although I thought you must have no way to live, Chu Sima still went out to find you for a few days and nights. ā€

The silver moon was shining, everything was originally the most beautiful artistic conception, Ruosu suddenly felt uncomfortable with suffocation in his chest, and his breathing became not very smooth.

Chu Chen really abandoned her, or in that situation where she was very likely to die...... As for what the situation was on that day, Ruo Su didn't want to investigate it in detail, what she wanted to know, there was already an answer today, although women used to lie, but Qiao Ruo regretted that she was the queen mother, and she would never lie to her with this kind of thing.

Ruo Su understood everything at once, stiffened for a few breaths, and found her voice in the gaze of all the noble ladies: "Thank you for the reminder of the Queen Mother, otherwise you really forgot about it, the woman was unwell, so she retired first." She slowly walked down the verandah of the Imperial Garden, mopping the floor with a shawl, and lost her mind.

The horse was not a horse, and the husband did not regard her as his life.

Today is really a long time to see.

Qiao Ruoxi's graceful and luxurious face suddenly became gloomy after Ruosu left the table, and he returned to Cining Palace after a while. She knew very well in her heart that this incident would greatly hurt the covenant between her and Chu Chen, and even fall apart.

The little emperor's body became weaker and weaker, even if the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital was tight-lipped, Qiao Ruoxi also sensed something, and when the ministers were admiring the moon and tasting wine, she took advantage of the unpreparedness of people and quietly ordered someone to summon Qiao Weimeng to Cining Palace to discuss matters.

----------

Qiao Weimeng's excuse to leave the table did not attract anyone's attention, at this time the ministers were already slightly drunk, it was the best time to form a gang and talk about people.

There are only a few finger-thick candles lit in the huge Cining Palace, and the wind blows in through the cracks in the door, and there is a feeling of coldness.

Qiao Weimeng entered the side hall, Qiao Ruoxi waved away all the palace people around him, and when he saw the eldest brother coming, he went straight to the topic and said, "Big brother, is the ship to Nanyang ready?" ā€

The voice echoed in the cold hall, and there was a kind of helplessness that had nowhere to speak.

Qiao Weimeng was contaminated with the smell of alcohol, he was originally a person who didn't drink at all, but he still drank a few more glasses today, and after hearing this, he said, "Why did the Queen Mother want to leave so quickly?" Do you really want to let it go? It's just that..... Is there something I don't know what to say or not to say? ā€

Although he seemed hesitant, he was just going through the motions, and sooner or later he had to let Qiao Ruoxi know, it was her daughter after all.

Qiao Ruoxi suddenly raised her voice: "Big brother, what's going on?" But Huan'er..... She.... She's good, isn't she? Big brother, tell me, is Huan'er doing well lately? ā€

She walked into the hall and pulled Qiao Weimeng's wide sleeves, shaking a little weakly.

Qiao Wei Meng breathed a sigh of relief, he originally wanted to hide it for a while, he planned to look for it in the capital again, and he could still have clues, but at the moment, it seemed that things were not so simple, otherwise with his ability, it would be impossible to find even a one-year-old girl.

"Queen Mother, don't be impatient, Huan'er her.... It's true that it's gone, but I guess it's still in the capital, as for who is in the hands, you should know in your heart that that person hasn't negotiated with you with Huan'er so far, Xu is a person who is in the same camp as you, and the reason why Huan'er is kept is also so that he can subdue you one day, think about it, who is the most likely? ā€

Qiao Ruoxi suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, counting the people in the court, knowing that the little emperor was not her own person, I am afraid that only Chu Chen.

She suddenly collapsed on Qiao Weimeng's arm, she said that to Ruo Su just now, will Chu Chen return Huan'er to her?

Qiao Weimeng didn't want to wade too much muddy water from beginning to end, so he comforted Qiao Ruoxi a few words, and left Cining Palace, but he didn't expect to meet Ruosu on the way to the banquet. She was alone leaning on the vermilion railing, looking up at the silver moon, her face hidden gloom that did not match her age.

There were no palace maids around, and Qiao Weimeng also knew that it was not in accordance with the rules to get close to her, but he still couldn't control and walked over, for fear of scaring her, and when he was a few steps away, he whispered: "Cousin, what are you doing here?" What about the palace maids who serve by your side? ā€

When the woman walks in the air, she will also be accompanied by a special palace maid.

Ruo Su came back to her senses, and reason told her that it was not appropriate to make a fuss in the palace, even if she wanted to strangle Chu Chen, she had to wait until she returned to the mansion and closed the courtyard door. Therefore, she held back, as for the palace maid beside her..... It's still there.

She forced a laugh: "... Is it a cousin? I met once last time, why haven't you been a guest at the house since? By the way, I live in the Hou Mansion now, and Cousin Yun has also returned from Datong, and I mentioned you when I went back to play leaf cards in my courtyard. ā€

Qiao Weimeng watched her speak word by word, and his heart felt as comfortable as if he was being blown by a spring breeze, making him faint and guilty.

Liking someone can be so simple, and just a few words that don't matter can make people happy for a while.

A tall man suddenly walked on the verandah, Qiao Weimeng suddenly seemed like an ice cave, and he hid the pity in his eyes in time, and arched his hand: "Lord Chu! ā€

At this time, Chu Chen was not the same as before, his appearance was still so handsome, but his eyebrows and eyes were ..... There was a smell of wind and dust, and when he got closer, Qixiang pounced.

"It turned out to be you, the official was about to take Uchiko back, and he had a chance to go for a drink again one day." Chu Chen said lightly.

Qiao Weimeng was puzzled, Chu Chen had already taken Ruosu's hand, ignored her resistance, and added a little strength to lead her away: "Madam, how many times have I told you, the palace is not allowed to walk around." ā€

"Who messed around? Which eye did you see me messing around? I'm just out to breathe. Ruosu was depressed in her heart, and she was quite resentful, whether it was reconciliation or cold war, she could only go back to the house and solve it secretly, she was also afraid that the city would be full of wind and rain and stain the lintel of the Bai family.

Qiao Weimeng watched a pair of beautiful people walk away, stood for a moment before walking towards the banquet, he turned a corner, and almost collided with a person head-on, and when he saw the person clearly, his face was shocked.

I only heard Chu Chen say: "Brother Meng, have you seen Su Su?" He looked anxious, and he was wearing a dark brocade robe, but he ..... But there was no strange fragrance, and Ruo Su and Chu Chen were still going in the opposite direction a few moments ago.

Why is there another Chu Chen?!

Half a life confused

After I came back, I took a few bites of food and began to write, and finally finished more than 4,000 words.
