100 disappointed
Shen thought about it, maybe it was because the other party's status was too high, and Sister Chen felt that she didn't expect to be the main room of that person, so she would say that she didn't want to get married?
Shen's right hand, which was holding one of Chu Qianchen's hands, subconsciously tightened a point, and his gaze turned repeatedly on her little face.
The door of the Hou Mansion is not too bad, the difference is that Sister Chen is a concubine, but if her Sister Chen is recorded in her name, she will be a concubine.
She has to try to trap Sister Chen'er's words to see who her sweetheart is, with this girl's eyes, ordinary people are afraid that they will not be able to enter her eyes.
Thinking so, Shen Shi's eyes became subtle when he looked at Chu Qianchen, both loving and gentle, and in addition, there was a trace of indescribable banter.
Sister Chen is so good, if that man can't see it, he has no eyes!
Shen gently rubbed the top of Chu Qianchen's hair.
Chu Qianchen: "??? ”
She always felt that Shen's eyes were really strange when she looked at her, did she say something wrong?
"Mother......" Chu Qianchen wanted to ask, but the carriage arrived at the Yongding Marquis Mansion at this time.
More on that later. Chu Qianchen thought in her heart, after the carriage stopped, she would get off the carriage with the Shen family, planning to go to the main courtyard.
However, she didn't have a chance to continue this topic, and as soon as she arrived at the main courtyard, she was caught by Chu Yunmu, who had just gotten out of school.
"Chu Qianchen, let's go horseback riding!"
Chu Yunmu has always said that it is the wind and the rain, but the Shen family will not come by his temperament, and negotiate the conditions with him, let him have lunch and do his homework before he can play with Chu Qianchen.
Chu Yunmu couldn't do anything, so he could only speed up the process of lunch and homework, and completed his homework efficiently at the beginning of the first time.
"Mother, look, my homework has been written! I can go play with Chu Qianchen, right? Chu Yunmu said triumphantly.
Shen put down the veil in his hand and said, "I'll take a look." ”
Shen is the head of the house, and she doesn't have much time to be a female celebrity on weekdays, but even so, she still finds time to do some small embroidery work for the young Chu Yunmu, sometimes a pair of white socks, sometimes embroidered a belt, braided a veil or something.
Chu Qianchen picked up Shen's half-finished line and looked at it, and he could probably see what she was making up, and continued to put the tail on her.
It was at this time that Chu Qianhuang entered the East Room and looked at the three people in the room.
This harmonious atmosphere seems to be a little out of place for her.
Chu Qianhuang couldn't help but stop at the door, and the fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly.
She only stopped slightly, and then continued to walk forward, until she came to Shen.
"Mother." Chu Qianhuang called in a low voice, his expression a little cramped and a little panicked.
She didn't expect that the Shen family would take Chu Qianchen out of the palace and return home without waiting for her.
Chu Qianhuang originally thought that Chu Qianchen would definitely take advantage of the rare opportunity to be alone with the second prince.
After all, Chu Qianchen, like Chu Qianling, is in love with the second prince. For Chu Qianchen, the second prince is already her best choice......
Chu Qianhuang deliberately calculated the time, didn't stay with the third princess for too long, and quickly returned to Zhongcui Palace, not wanting that the Shen family and Chu Qianchen had already left.
Shen put down Chu Yunmu's homework, and Chu Yunmu hurriedly said when he saw this: "Mother, I'm done!" Then let's go play. ”
He eagerly took Chu Qianchen's hand and ran out, as if he was afraid that Shen would regret it.
Chu Qianchen was dragged forward by him, and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.
When Shen looked at Chu Yunmu, he was still smiling slightly, but when his gaze moved to Chu Qianhuang, his lips were lowered and pursed into a straight line, not angry and arrogant.
Her bright and transparent phoenix eyes made Chu Qianhuang almost unable to look directly.
Mama Chen, who followed Chu Qianhuang into the house together, looked at the mother and daughter, and her heart was heavy.
Chu Qianhuang took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Mother, I haven't seen the third princess for too long, and the third princess asked people to pass it on, so I went." I should have told my mother that I would go again......"
Shen Shi looked at Chu Qianhuang without blinking and did not speak.
The silence spread, and an invisible tension was formed, as if the air had also condensed slightly.
Chu Qianhuang was a little flustered by Shen's eyes, and couldn't help but speculate: Could it be that Chu Qianchen said something to his mother?
Chu Qianhuang's hand hidden in his sleeve was pinched tighter, and his thumb pinched the tip of his finger heavily.
Shen suddenly said: "The noble concubine told me that it was you who asked your grandmother to deliver the news to her, and she would announce our entry into the palace." ”
Chu Qianhuang's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of panic, but he quickly explained innocently: "Mother, I just told my grandmother that I was worried about my father's injury......
Shen just felt that her daughter's behavior was different, and casually said a lie, but she didn't expect to be really hit by her.
It was as if all her energy had been drained, and the brilliance in her eyes dissipated little by little, flashing a little weakness, a little disappointment, and a little exhaustion......
Previously, Shen had told herself over and over again that she could correct her daughter's temperament, but at this moment, she couldn't help but start to doubt this.
Chu Qianchen had been pulled away by Chu Yunmu, and he didn't hear what the mother and daughter said later.
Chu Yunmu looked like a little adult, which made Chu Qianchen laugh, and couldn't help but tease him. , only Chu Yunmu's chirping voice was left in his ears:
"Chu Qianchen, you and Xiaoyun are already familiar with each other, you can ride it today."
"Xiaoyun is very well-behaved, don't be afraid. If you're scared, Xiaoyun will sense your fear. ”
"Don't worry, I'll watch you."
“……”
Chu Yunmu looked like a little adult, which made Chu Qianchen laugh, and couldn't help but tease him, completely forgetting about the things that happened in the palace.
She didn't care, but Mrs. Tai had been thinking about it all day, and at dusk, the first sentence asked about Concubine Chu: "Ah Zhi, how is the concubine?" ”
The two of them played until dusk, and then went to Rongfutang together to greet Mrs. Tai.
Before she sat down, Mrs. Tai eagerly asked about Concubine Chu: "Ah Zhi, how is Concubine Niangniang?" ”
Mrs. Tai actually had a grudge against the Shen family in her heart, and when the Shen family came back from the palace, she should have come to Rongfutang as soon as possible, but she didn't come until this time.
Dissatisfied and dissatisfied, she also counted on Concubine Chu to persuade the Shen family to go to the Mu State Mansion to make peace, but she could only endure it for the time being.
Shen said lightly: "Mother is relieved, the concubine is fine, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince is also very good." ”
Shen only didn't understand Mrs. Tai's hint.
Mrs. Tai was even more annoyed, but she still had a friendly smile on her face, and asked again: "Ah Zhi, what advice does the concubine have to offer?" ”
"When the mother asks about your body, I will say that you are all right." Shen was casually perfunctory, and did not mention Chu Lingxiao's matter for half a word.
Mrs. Tai grabbed the string of beads in her hand, and said in a stiff voice: "That's what Niangniang said? ”
The topic of the Shen family only revolved around Concubine Chu and the second prince, and Mrs. Ren asked for a while, but she didn't hear any news she wanted to hear, and the smile on Mrs. Tai's face was almost untenable.
Seeing the turbulent tide between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the Liu family was watching the play on the sidelines, wishing that Mrs. Tai was angry and sick, so that everyone in the house could know that it was Shen's mother-in-law who was sick.
Chu Qianchen's mind had already flown away, and what they were saying was completely from his left ear and out of his right ear......
Until a burst of messy and hurried footsteps suddenly sounded, a little girl came panting, and said, "Mrs. Tai, the queen has sent Mama Shan to pass on the message." ”
Mama Shan is the right-hand man beside the queen, and Mrs. Tai naturally knows it.
"Hurry up, please." Mrs. Tai's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said.
Chu Qianhuang's eyes also lit up, and he didn't notice that Shen was looking at her with a disappointed look.
Chu Qianchen was also looking at Chu Qianhuang, his eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly withdrew his gaze.
After a while, a proud grandmother dressed in a rust-colored dark striped gown came under the guidance of the Hou Mansion steward.
Mama Shan came on behalf of the queen, so she only blessed her slightly, and said: "Mrs. Tai, I am on the order of the queen to pass on the phoenix message of the mother, and the mother has an order, so that the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion will enter the palace to be read by Her Royal Highness the Third Princess." ”
“……”
“……”
“……”
There was silence in the hall, and Liu and the others were all taken aback.
Mrs. Tai was overjoyed, and she couldn't wait to respond: "Thanks to the love of the queen, the old body is full of honor, this is the blessing of Sister Huang!" ”
Mrs. Tai felt that the eldest granddaughter was really capable, and she had just entered the palace in the morning and asked the queen to take the initiative to invite someone, and now I am afraid that even the Shen family could not object.
Mrs. Tai's eyes were full of smiles when she looked at Chu Qianhuang, but Shen's pupils were as cold as a cold pool.
Shen frowned slightly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Mama Shan, I specially gave the queen a few days ago, the little girl is weak and sick from time to time, I am afraid that she is not qualified for the position of the princess's companion." ”
Mama Shan smiled so that a few deep wrinkles appeared in the corners of her eyes, and she said politely: "Her Royal Highness the Third Princess likes Ling Yan, and she has been reluctant to talk to the queen mother since Ling Yan left the palace today." ”
Although she smiled, there was a cold glint of disdain in her eyes when she looked at Shen's mother and daughter. This Mrs. Yongding Hou is really good at pretending, one on her face and one behind her back, otherwise she would have dragged Chu Qianhuang to find the third princess!
Mrs. Tai was afraid that the Shen family would stiffen the scene, so she rushed in front of her and said: "Mama Shan, my sister Huang was infected with wind and heat by the weather change a few days ago, and she has already been raised. ”
Mrs. Tai felt that her family was really unlucky during this time, and there was no peace next to one thing, and it was not until today that there was a happy event.
Finally, the queen didn't blame Chu Qianhuang, and agreed that she would go back to the palace to be the companion of the third princess, this good thing can't be destroyed by the Shen family anymore!
After all, now that Chu Lingxiao has no errand in the flag guard, the Shen family is clearly unwilling to ask the Mu State Mansion for help, and most of this errand will not be able to get it back in a short period of time, which means that their Chu family is farther away from the imperial power......
Shen naturally knew what Mrs. Tai was thinking, and she didn't bother to say much to Mrs. Tai, she turned her head to look at Chu Qianhuang who was sitting on the right hand, and asked, "Sister Huang, would you like to go?" ”
Shen's eyes were clear and sharp, as if they could penetrate the secret of Chu Qianhuang's heart.
Her expression was so calm, she couldn't see joy or sorrow.
Chu Qianhuang was a little panicked in his heart, and his thumb subconsciously pinched his fingertips again, but when he thought of something, he quickly let go.
She told herself that she couldn't retreat, and said softly: "Mother, this is the grace of the queen's mother. ”
"......" Shen became more and more powerless, and he was even more disappointed in this daughter.
She didn't even care what Mama Shan thought, she just left, Chu Qianhuang's mouth moved, and she didn't follow after all.
After Chu Qianchen saluted Mrs. Tai, he took Chu Yunmu and followed Shen out of Rongfu Hall.
Chu Yunmu was only five years old, and in fact, he didn't know why his mother was unhappy, so he could only guess that his mother didn't like the eldest sister to enter the palace to read to the princess as a companion.
He squeezed Chu Qianchen's hand with some uneasiness, and Chu Qianchen gave him a soothing smile.
When she was in the imperial garden in the morning, Chu Qianchen noticed that Chu Qianhuang had been a little uncertain, and later she excused herself and left to see the third princess, Chu Qianchen probably guessed that Chu Qianhuang's entry into the palace today might have something to do with the third princess.
After all, just for Chu Lingxiao's business, it was enough for Chu Guifei to call the Shen family alone.
Chu Qianhuang went all out to go around in such a big circle, it turned out that it was for this one.
Chu Qianchen pointed at Chu Yunmu's left hand and blinked again.
Chu Yunmu immediately understood and nodded.
The two sisters and brothers stepped forward together, one holding Shen's right hand and the other holding her left hand.
"Mother......" Chu Yunmu felt that he was a man, and wanted to comfort his mother for a few words, but before he could say anything later, he heard the sound of "gurgling" in his stomach.
His stomach squirmed with hunger.
The sound was especially loud in the silent courtyard.
"Gollum ......"
Shen laughed out loud, Chu Qianchen saw that Shen's expression was relaxed, and said with a smile: "Mother, Brother Mu'er has a really good appetite, and he even ate hibiscus cake with me in the afternoon." ”
Chu Yunmu pouted, "I'm a man, of course I eat a lot!" ”
Shen Shi looked at the pair of sisters and brothers, his heart was a little lighter, and he shook Chu Yunmu's warm little hand with his backhand, "When our brother Mu is really growing up, we should eat more." ”
Chu Yunmu touched his shriveled belly with his left hand and smiled beautifully, "That's right, I've grown an inch taller recently." ”
Chu Qianchen: "Really? ”
Chu Yunmu: "You didn't see me ...... like this Is it high?! ”
Mama Chen walked behind, looking at the backs of the three of them, her expression was a little trance-like, and for a moment, she almost had the illusion that "the three of them are a family".
She quickly shook her head and said to herself what she was thinking.
Chu Yunmu played for a long time in the afternoon, and after dinner, he yawned again and again, but he still held his eyelids and refused to sleep, as if he was afraid that he would suffer a loss if he went to bed early.
Shen and Chu Qianchen could only go together to coax him to sleep.
When the sunset was about to set, Chu Qianhuang, who had sent away Mama Shan, came to the main courtyard, but was stopped by Mama Chen under the eaves before entering the door.
"Big girl, Madame will let you go back." Mama Chen said helplessly.
Chu Qianhuang stood at the door of the hall, looking at the door leading to the east room without blinking, the door was closed, but he could still see the faint light coming out from behind the door.
She suddenly asked, "Is the second sister inside?" ”
Mama Chen nodded in response, hesitated for a moment, and persuaded tactfully: "Big girl, you also know that the mansion has been eventful recently, and Madame has not been in a good mood...... Madame will not let you enter the palace, naturally for your own good. ”
"Hey, fortunately, the second girl and the fourth young master will unravel the lady together."
Chu Qianhuang clutched the handkerchief in his hand tightly, his eyes became darker and darker, and his heart was even more like pressing an invisible boulder.
Good for her?!
The mother keeps saying that she is good for herself, but she is just a woman in the back house, what she sees and thinks is limited, and her mother's request for herself is probably just to marry a family with the right family, how do you know that the Great Qi Dynasty will undergo great changes in the future!
Thinking of the scene in the dream, Chu Qianhuang's body tensed tightly, like a full bow.
She was silent for a while, then turned around and left, leaving Mama Chen looking at her back and sighing sighingly.
After Chu Qianhuang returned to the Yuelu Courtyard, she immediately asked the maids to clean up, and the next morning, she came to ask the Shen family to say goodbye, but the Shen family still didn't see her, so Chu Qianhuang asked Mrs. Tai to say goodbye and went to the palace.
Chu Qianchen also heard Amber say this, and when she went to the main courtyard, she found that the Shen family, as usual, seemed to have relieved Chu Qianhuang of entering the palace.
"Sister Chen, come here." Shen had just made up a butterfly wrapper, and after greeting Chu Qianchen over, he personally tied it to Chu Qianchen's skirt, and bowed slightly with satisfaction, "I made up a pair, Brother Mu'er one, and you one." ”
"You should be a good match for your newly made vermilion gown."
Shen Shi looked at the smile, but the fat powder on her face couldn't cover the faint blue-black under her eyes, she should have stayed awake all night.
Chu Qianchen knew that she couldn't persuade the Shen family, what she could do was to let someone bring some soothing incense later, and let them light it for the Shen family at night to calm the nerves and calm down.
She played with the butterfly and smiled: "There are also a pair of embroidered shoes, and there is a pair of butterflies on the toe of the shoes, which can be matched." ”
Shen Shi said that the interest came, "Yesterday afternoon, the sewing room said that your clothes are almost ready, and you should be able to try it today......
"Mama Chen, you go to the sewing room and ask, is the second girl's new clothes ready?"
Mama Chen personally went to the needlework room, and when she came back, she brought Chu Qianchen's new clothes.
It was the gown made of the vermilion material of the jade weaving workshop that the Shen family had picked for Chu Qianchen before.
The subordinates of this Hou Mansion will also look at each other, because yesterday Shen asked, and Mama Zhao in the sewing room became more and more sure that Shen valued Chu Qianchen, so she gave priority to her side, and finished the new clothes overnight.
"Second girl, you try it first, if it's not appropriate, the slave and maid will take it back and change it." Mama Zhao was very polite and respectful.
Chu Qianchen hurriedly tried on the new clothes surrounded by Amber and a few other maids, and the vermilion brocade lined her skin a lot, shining like a pearl.
The people in the room, from the Shen family to the subordinates, were full of praise, and the Shen family pondered that they would have to pick some brightly colored materials for Chu Qianchen for their autumn shirts and winter shirts in the future.
"The little girl's family should be dressed brightly, I look at you, the color is more plain than your grandmother!"
"The size of the clothes is just right, but the hem is a little monotonous, so add some moire embroidery."
"By the way, let's make a water-red midcoat, and remember to embroider moire on the neckline."
Whatever Shen says, Mama Zhao should do.
After three days, when he went to see Qin Yao for a follow-up examination, Chu Qianchen finally put on this changed red dress.
If there is a fly in the ointment, it is that her cyan veil does not match today's new clothes.
Chu Qianchen thought about it, and simply didn't veil her, anyway, she didn't go to Jishitang today.
Xue Fengyan sent her the news in advance, saying that there were a lot of "flies" outside the palace, so Chu Qianchen took some trouble this time, and first went to a house next door to King Chen's mansion, and an old woman with an ordinary appearance and a plump body answered her.
"Girl, please." The old lady respectfully guided Chu Qianchen, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at her, showing a look of amazement.
This girl is already such a stunning face before she is in time, and when she grows a few years older in the future, she will be completely opened, and she doesn't know what kind of demeanor she will be like to captivate the country and the city.
The old lady led Chu Qianchen through a secret door between the two mansions into King Chen's Mansion, and when the secret door was closed, those lush creeper vines and leaves fell, and the secret door was hidden densely.
Chu Qianchen couldn't help but look back and look there, and said in his heart: In the previous life, was there the same secret door here?
She suddenly had a new feeling that there might be a lot of things to explore in this world, maybe she missed something she didn't know......
Her mood became brighter, and this brightness was also reflected in her manners.
"That's ...... Miss Chu? ”
Yun Zhan in the Water Pavilion was the first to ask, his tone seemed a little uncertain.
Gu Jue also looked out through the open window when he heard the sound, and on the other side of the lake, Chu Qianchen was walking along the lakeside.
She was wearing a vermilion twig pattern gown, black green silk holding a double-ring bun, two butterfly beads inlaid with garnets on her sideburns trembled slightly with her steps, bright eyes and bright teeth, ice muscles and jade bones, especially the pair of phoenix eyes that were brighter and brighter than the sun in the sky, with a bit of noisy beauty, people's eyes couldn't help but fall on these eyes first.
She walked leisurely, casual and elegant, with light and sassy steps.
Gu Jue raised her eyebrows, feeling that she seemed to be in a good mood.
No, it should be said that every time he sees her, she is in a good mood, and the ups and downs around her do not affect her in the slightest, whether it is the bad things that happened in her family, or the emperor went to Jishitang to find her to ask for guilt......
If the Marquis of Yongding had his daughter, the Hou Mansion would not have fallen to this point.
Chu Qianchen quickly walked to the Water Pavilion, first smiled at Gu Jue obediently, and then went to Qin Yao for a follow-up as usual.
In fact, today's follow-up visit was dispensable, so Chu Qianchen casually gave Qin Yao a pulse, and by the way, he prescribed him a prescription to reduce the fire, so he eagerly ran to find Gu Jue.
"Lord Wang."
Chu Qianchen actually wanted to play chess with Gu Jue, but the first sentence Gu Jue said was: "Miss Chu, I have to leave Beijing in a few days......"
As soon as he said this, Qin Yao, Yun Zhan and the others all looked dazed.
Chu Qianchen didn't pay attention to others at all, and immediately said, "Then I'll give you the pill when I go back." ”
She didn't ask him where he was going, and sighed in her heart: The prince is a hard worker, he was and still is.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but show a kind of helplessness of "it's okay to take him".
Yun Zhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the little divine doctor was really good-tempered, this was the second time that the prince had to leave Beijing, and she didn't turn her face and get angry, nor did she feel that the prince didn't cooperate with her treatment......
Chu Qianchen counted the time with his fingers and asked, "Lord Wang, how long are you going to leave?" This time the pill was more complicated than the last one, and it would take at least five days to complete. ”
"Then I'll leave in five days." Gu Jue responded.
"The pill must be taken every day, and it must not be leaked."
Chu Qianchen admonished earnestly, his black and white eyes looked at him with concern, as if to say, be obedient.
Gu Jue looked at her eyes that seemed to be able to speak, feeling interested, and feeling novel and interesting.
Since he entered the battlefield at the age of fifteen, he has been accustomed to giving orders, and he is also accustomed to the kind of eyes that are followed and admired, but she is the only one, looking at him with a very contradictory look, on the one hand, respecting him, on the other hand, she seems to want to protect him under her wing.
Gu Jue's narrow eyes were full of smiles, his eyelashes flashed, and he said, "If you want to bother the girl to prepare for Qin Yao, he will also go with me." ”
Chu Qianchen nodded again, and then his disgusted gaze immediately slanted towards Qin Yao.
"Qin Shizi, I will prepare some more Nine Continuation Cream for you, and you can apply it twice a day." Chu Qianchen had already guessed that the prince's departure from Beijing this time must be for Qin Yao, "If you don't want to be lame, don't go down to the ground this time." ”
This Qin Yao is really uncomfortable. Chu Qianchen despised him with his eyes.
