Seeing Chu Qianchen smiling, the chief steward of Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that this medical book was indeed a rare and unique book.
He felt that his prince was too quiet and not very good at pleasing the girl's family, so he seized the opportunity to make a contribution to the prince: "Princess, this book of "Bamboo Forest Surgery" was specially sent by the prince to Yuzhou to find it. ”
"There are a few more books collected from Jiangnan, but they are still on the way, and it is estimated that it will take four or five days to reach the capital."
He tried to squeeze out a kind smile, but he was actually a little disapproving.
Although it is important to do what he likes, the prince is inevitably too maverick, and the gifts given by others to his wife's room are all jewelry, and the prince actually gave the princess a medical book!
The chief steward of Sui pondered whether to wait for the prince to return to Beijing, whether to remind the prince a few words tactfully.
At this moment, Mama Cai entered the main hall with a wooden box in her hand, and her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.
She walked closer, bowed to Chu Qianchen, and said with a smile: "Princess, the last batch of jewelry that the prince gave you in Duobao Zhai has just arrived. ”
Sui Grand Steward: "......"
Ahem, in fact, my own prince is still quite good at pleasing the princess!
The steward of Sui suddenly felt a sense of comfort and relieved.
He hugged his fists again and said, "Princess, if there is nothing to do, the subordinates will retire first." ”
As the chief steward of the palace, he has a lot of trivial matters on weekdays, if he didn't want to take the opportunity to help the prince show his merits, he would not have come to deliver the medical book to the princess in person.
Mama Cai and Chu Qianchen exchanged a few words of greeting and retired.
Chu Qianchen returned to the main courtyard again, taking medical books and jewelry with him.
Amber thought that the princess would probably be locked up in the small study again to study the newly acquired medical books, but she didn't want to, so Chu Qianchen ordered: "You go and put the things away first." ”
Amber: "......"
Amber's eyes widened in surprise, barely turning her head to see if the sun had risen in the west today.
This is really not in line with the princess's temperament!
Chu Qianchen raised his eyes to Amber's eyes, and probably guessed what she was thinking, a little funny, and at the same time silently reviewed it.
The prince went out and handed over the Chenwang Mansion to her, but what did she do, she only knew to stare at the medical book in the past few days, and ignored everything.
She couldn't live like this anymore.
Chu Qianchen drank two sips of Biluochun and cheered up.
In her previous life, she had never been in charge of the house, and no one had ever taught her.
In this life, she followed her mother to learn housekeeping for a few days, but now that she thinks about it, she thinks that she will not marry anyway, and she simply goes in her left ear and out of her right ear, as if she is patronizing yawning and distracted.
That's bad!
Chu Qianchen silently condemned himself again.
In his position, seek his government.
Now that she is married, she is still living so casually this life, she is really not a qualified princess.
Chu Qianchen frowned slightly, trying to recall those of the Shen Clan.
Amber saw that Chu Qianchen's expression was wrong, so she asked, "Princess, is there something wrong?" ”
Chu Qianchen subconsciously replied: "It's really wrong. ”
"......" Amber was confused.
Chu Qianchen said again: "You ask the Grand Steward of Sui and Mama Cai to bring the roster and account books of the palace." ”
Amber finally understood, and it turned out that the princess was planning to start housekeeping.
She hurriedly took the order and went alone, and when she returned, the team was huge, bringing back a dozen boxes of account books and two rosters.
Chief Steward Sui and Mama Cai didn't know how many account books Chu Qianchen wanted, so they simply sent all the account books of the last three years.
So, Chu Qianchen began to stay at home again, and locked up in the room with Amber for a few days to read the account books, and saw that Amber's head was also big.
In the past, in the Hou Mansion, the trivial matters in the Wanyan Courtyard were all in charge of Amber, but there were only so many people up and down the Wanyan Courtyard, and the girls in the Hou Mansion all had a fixed routine.
It took several days to finally read these boxes of account books, and Chu Qianchen went to Mu Guogong's Mansion again, and went to find the Shen family.
Before getting married, she didn't learn housekeeping well, and now she can only start learning quickly.
Since the Shen family moved to the Guogong Mansion, she has been idle every day, and she doesn't care about anything, because Chu Qianchen came to ask her about the housekeeper, the Shen family was in good spirits, and felt that she still had things to do for her daughter, and she taught her very well, and even summarized a housekeeper's note for Chu Qianchen.
So, in just a few days, the people of Chenwangfu felt that the standard of living had improved like a fly.
In the past, although the palace was full, the types of dishes were relatively simple, and there were just a few things to eat, but now the staple foods and dishes are more varied.
In the past, they had to be on duty every day unless they were ill, but now the princess has made her shift rescheduled, and everyone can take one day off every ten days.
……
Every day or two, there is a small change, which makes the people in the palace feel very appropriate, and they are looking forward to tomorrow.
"Captain Yun, the princess ordered me to tailor it for you."
At dusk that day, as soon as Yun Zhan entered the door, he was stopped by Mama Cai and others.
"Tailor-made?" Yun Zhan turned over and dismounted, still a little confused.
In the capital, all normal mansions have needlework rooms, but King Chen's Mansion is an exception.
In the past, Gu Jue was not in the capital, and the needlework room was useless at all, but this spring, after Gu Jue returned to Beijing triumphantly, everyone was worried about his illness, where did they still have the heart to care about these details.
On weekdays, the people in the palace, including Yunzhan and them, the clothes they wear are bought directly from the ready-to-wear shop, although they don't fit well, but they are all men anyway, and some of them can be worn, and no one cares.
Yun Zhan touched his nose and knew that this was the princess's kindness, so he complied.
Yun Zhan followed Mama Cai to the side hall of Shaohua Hall.
In the side hall, it is quite lively, and it is the cloth village Zhu embroidery workshop that is quite famous in the capital to measure the body of everyone.
As soon as Yun Zhan entered the door, he heard Xue Feng's voice come from inside: "Isn't it just clothes?" It's almost enough to wear. ”
Xue Fengyan has always been informal, and he can sleep on the tree, in his opinion, it is good to wear clothes, how can there be so much attention.
"This lord, what you said is not right." The proprietress of Zhu Xiufang retorted with a smile, "Tailor-made, that is also particular, whether a new dress is decent or not, not simply according to the size of the person, but also to observe a person's body shape and walking posture." ”
Xue Fengyan: "......"
Xue Fengyan was noncommittal, and Yun Zhan thought so.
Yun Zhan is also a noble child, in the past, his grandmother didn't like him anymore, and he would not lack a few clothes, although he didn't care too much, he could feel that the clothes bought in the ready-to-wear shop didn't fit well, either narrow here, or wide there, and it was always not enough to be decent.
After Xue Feng measured it, it was the turn of the cloud exhibition next.
After that, it was Cheng Linhua, Sui Da Steward, etc.
After everyone had been measured, the sun had set halfway.
Zhu Xiuji's proprietress didn't go directly, but ran to the main courtyard with Mama Cai, went to Chu Qianchen, and handed over a list, which detailed how many sets of clothes to make this time and the cost, and said the construction period.
Amber looked at the list and nodded at Chu Qianchen, meaning that there was no problem.
The proprietress was about to smile on her face, "Don't worry, princess, we will definitely step up, and we will definitely not miss the construction period." ”
There should be a chance that this business will be done!
This is a big business, so many people in Chenwangfu have to customize new clothes, if this season satisfies the princess, it is conceivable that there will be next season's winter clothes and next year's spring clothes.
The proprietress took more than a dozen drawings from the mother-in-law beside her and submitted them in person, "Princess, these are some new styles of our Zhu embroidery workshop, do you like them?" ”
"If you don't think it's good, don't worry, I have more styles to choose from in my shop, and I'll send them to you tomorrow morning."
These style drawings are all women's clothes, and they are all for the maids.
Who in the girl's family doesn't like new clothes, Amber, Yingluo, Coral and other maids are all brilliant and radiant, and they go around to pick out styles.
"I think this style looks good!"
"It's good-looking, but I've seen a lot of people on the street wearing similar ......"
"It's still this one, this is new!"
"Jiang Yuan, come over and take a look, how about this one?"
“……”
The little girls were chattering and discussing like sparrows, so lively that even the little black cat came to hear the sound and squatted there and did not leave.
Chu Qianchen looked at Amber and smiled slightly, feeling that he was indeed sloppy.
A few days ago, when Chu Qianchen took Amber to the Mu State Mansion, Shen noticed that Amber was wearing clothes from the former Chu family, and asked a few questions. Chu Qianchen also answered truthfully.
At that time, Shen's expression was clearly saying that King Chen's Mansion was too peaceful.
Chu Qianchen picked up the tea cup, lowered his eyes and blew the floating leaves on the tea soup, and drank the tea.
In her previous life, when she was in the palace, the clothes she wore were not bought from ready-to-wear shops or cloth houses, and someone would come to the palace every season to tailor her.
At that time, the prince said that the girl's family couldn't make up like Mo Shen and Xue Feng played them.
Recalling the past events of his previous life, Chu Qianchen's eyes were soft.
Therefore, she pondered that although there was no sewing room in the palace, she could also find someone from outside to customize clothes, which was labor-saving and worry-free.
After a while, Amber and the others picked out the materials and styles of their clothes, and smiled and took the drawings and cloth samples to show Chu Qianchen.
Chu Qianchen looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and asked Zhu Xiufang to customize a silk silk around his waist, planning to make two for each maid, representing that they were from King Chen's Mansion.
No matter what Chu Qianchen says, the proprietress should be fine.
After Mama Cai paid the deposit, the proprietress who had made a big deal left happily.
As soon as the people from Zhu Xiufang left, the east room suddenly became a lot empty.
Mama Cai smiled so that the corners of her eyes were full of deep folds, and she was relieved.
In the past, this huge palace looked like a palace, it was like an inn, there was nothing bad, but it didn't look like a home, but since the princess got married, she has seen the palace of King Chen change day by day.
Mama Cai smiled and asked, "Princess, do you want to buy some people?" ”
This is the second time Mama Cai has mentioned this matter, the palace is really empty, and the manpower is estimated to be less than half of that of other palaces, no, not even thirty percent.
The little black cat, which had been lying quietly on the window sill for a while, moved, and it jumped down lightly and ran to Chu Qianchen's shoe.
"Meow!" The little black cat obediently rubbed her skirt.
Chu Qianchen grabbed a small dried fish from the box next to him and threw it to the little black cat, who opened its mouth and bit the dried fish with a whimper.
"No," Chu Qianchen thought for a while, but still refused, "The people in the palace are just right now." ”
The prince's injury has not yet been cured, and it is not appropriate for the palace to increase manpower for the time being, so as not to mix in people of suspicious origin, and Chu Qianchen feels in his heart that after the prince recovers, they should stay in the capital for a short time.
The prince should not be trapped in this square inch of the capital, the capital is just a cage, and the prince is an eagle, the eagle should soar in the blue sky, they are going to the north in the future, it is useless to buy so many people.
Anyway, making clothes can be handed over to the embroidery village, buying something, and the Sui chief stewards have done a good job.
The palace does not need to change.
Mama Cai couldn't figure out why the princess was so stubborn at this point, and continued to persuade: "Princess, don't say anything else, the inner courtyard also needs a kitchen." ”
Chu Qianchen said casually disappreciatively: "Just let Chef Tian do it together." ”
The palace is not like the Hou Mansion, in addition to Mrs. Tai, there are also four rooms of people, there are many people, this kitchen is naturally divided into finer, and there are not many people in this palace.
Mama Cai: "......"
Mama Cai felt delicate. Obviously, the princess and the princess have very different temperaments, and their backgrounds and experiences are also very different, but for some reason, occasionally for a moment, she often feels that the princess and the prince are inexplicably similar, casual and informal.
Mama Cai thought about it and wanted to say that when there is a little master in the future, there will be no more manpower.
But before the words came out, I heard Chu Qianchen say with great interest: "I want to repair the courtyard over there in the prince's study, build another pavilion next to the pond, plant a bamboo forest next to the pavilion, and ......."
Chu Qianchen said softly how to repair the outer study, and while she was talking, the little black cat was rubbing on her skirt, "meow" non-stop.
Chu Qianchen threw a small dried fish to it again, and one person and one cat were happy, and this scene made Mama Cai suddenly change her mind.
That's fine. Mama Cai said to herself that their princess is still young and has not yet reached the end of her life, and she will slowly know that such people in the palace will definitely not be enough in the future. Well, come on a little bit.
Mama Cai was a little worried.
At this moment, Fang had just gone to send Amber back from the Zhu Embroidery Workshop.
Amber said: "Princess, the queen mother sent Mama Shan to pass on the message, and asked the princess to enter the palace in three days." ”
Mama Cai's complexion changed suddenly, and Amber's face was also not very good-looking, they all knew that the queen Xuan Chu Qianchen must have bad intentions, and wondered if she rejected the queen because of her illness.
Chu Qianchen smiled, stroked his sleeves, and said, "It's finally here." ”
She looked relaxed, with a sense of knowing that she had known this before.
The little black cat had already eaten the second small dried fish, and meowed for a while, but no one paid attention.
It didn't do anything, it simply kicked its legs and jumped, jumped lightly to Chu Qianchen's lap, and looked at her with a pair of green cat eyes without blinking.
Amber and Mama Cai looked at each other.
Amber asked, "Princess, did you know that the queen mother would announce your entry into the palace?" ”
Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled slightly, touching the little black cat's oily and slippery back with one hand.
The pitch-black fur shimmered in the golden sun.
On the day of the double dynasty He Hong, she made the queen shameless in public, and the queen thought that she dared to do this because she had the support of the prince, and now that the prince is gone, the queen will call her into the palace sooner or later to teach her a lesson.
The queen was also patient, for fear that it would be too obvious, and it took several days to announce her into the palace.
Chu Qianchen was too lazy to deal with the queen, and she was not interested in entering the palace to be tortured, she was waiting for the opportunity to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager Yin.
On the day of the Wanshou Festival, the queen once rewarded Chu Qianchen with a token in public, saying that she could enter the palace at any time with this brand.
After that, Chu Qianchen also tried to go to the palace to hand over the sign to see the Empress Dowager Yin, but she was stopped without exception, she has never seen the Empress Dowager since He Hong, this is obviously what the emperor meant, the emperor has always been holding the Empress Dowager Yin to suppress the prince.
Therefore, after failing twice, Chu Qianchen no longer handed signs to the palace, and she bet that the queen would be more breathless than her.
Really!
Mama Cai actually felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to persuade her.
Amber understands her master, once the master has made up his mind, he will not change it easily, I am afraid that only the prince may coax her.
"Yes, Princess." Amber can only answer the order and go out to deal with Mama Shan.
At this time, not only Amber missed Gu Jue, but Mama Cai also thought about Gu Jue, and sighed again: The princess and the prince are really very similar.
Chu Qianchen didn't pay attention to the abnormality of the two, she was still touching her kitten, and her thoughts were fixed on the Empress Dowager Yin.
In the last life, Empress Dowager Yin died too suddenly, which made Chu Qianchen haunted.
Although there are people arranged by Chu Qianchen in the Shouning Palace of Empress Dowager Yin now, she still doesn't dare to take it lightly.
She can't let the prince blame himself and feel guilty like in his previous life.
The little black cat "meowed" non-stop, and its voice became softer and sweeter.
Chu Qianchen looked at the kitten and smiled.
Her smile was innocent and innocent at first glance, and at second glance, she was cunning and confident.
Mama Cai suddenly thought: Maybe she shouldn't worry about the princess, but about the queen.
As the queen intended, Chu Qianchen entered the palace early in the morning of August 20.
Mama Shan had been waiting for her at the gate of the palace for a long time, and personally led her to Fengluan Palace, if she was an uninformed person, she was afraid that she would think that the queen valued Chu Qianchen very much.
As she walked, Mama Shan went to see Chu Qianchen from time to time and pursed her lips contemptuously.
A mere Houfu concubine still wants to compete with the queen's mother, she just doesn't know how thick the sky is, and she suffers from it today!
Speechless all the way, Chu Qianchen followed Mama Shan to the east side hall of Fengluan Palace.
The graceful and luxuriously dressed queen sat on the Luohan bed, elegantly holding a pastel Langya teacup, sipping tea.
In the corner, there is a three-legged unicorn incense burner, and wisps of green smoke rise from the furnace, and the silence is full of solemnity.
When Chu Qianchen went in, the queen only cared about drinking tea, and didn't look at Chu Qianchen, as if she didn't know she was coming.
In the palace, in addition to the queen, there is another person.
Mrs. Tai, who was wearing a lot of makeup, sat on a rosewood circle chair on the left side of the Luohan bed, with an elegant posture, looking at Chu Qianchen with a complicated look.
Since that day, the Shen family rushed to the Hou Mansion to reveal the mystery of Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang's life history, this was the first time she had seen Chu Qianchen again.
Thinking of the events of that day, Mrs. Tai secretly sighed here and made evil.
Mama Shan walked straight to the queen's side and said deliberately: "Niangniang, Princess Chen is here." ”
Immediately, a palace maid in Tsing Yi put a futon in front of the queen, and the meaning was very clear.
Mama Shan gave a mocking laugh.
On the day of the last Shuangchao He Hong, Princess Chen always had to make up for the gifts owed by Princess Chen. After all, the arms can't twist the thighs!
However, Chu Qianchen just didn't see it and crossed the futon.
She walked to the front of the futon and was blessed, "I've seen the queen." ”
After she saluted, she straightened up, without even waiting for the queen to say that she was exempt, and then she turned to Mrs. Tai, and she was also blessed, and called "grandmother", and then she sat down in the seat opposite Mrs. Tai.
The queen's face sank suddenly, the corners of her mouth stiffened behind the tea cup, and the word "presumptuous" was on her lips, but she didn't say it after all.
"......" Mrs. Tai's face was not very good-looking, and she frowned, feeling that Chu Qianchen was really unruly.
This girl's unruly appearance will only make the queen feel that their Chu family's tutor is not good.
Where is the queen still in the mood to drink tea, put down the tea cup, looked at Chu Qianchen, and stared at her deeply.
In order to enter the palace today, Chu Qianchen wore the princess's makeup.
Wearing a pearl cui nine Zhai crown, wearing a gold embroidered group phoenix green bow robe, covered with a four-fold Ruyi cloud pattern red coat, jewelry, extraordinary.
The beautiful phoenix eyes shone against the backdrop of the red clothes and the pearl and green nine Zhai crowns, and the skin was as white as the first snow.
At this moment, she sat elegantly, the corners of her mouth were crooked, her facial features were delicate and bright, and her posture was so standard that it seemed to be measured with a ruler, so that people couldn't pick out the slightest inappropriateness, and she looked very well-behaved.
It was as calm as if she hadn't seen the futon on the ground just now.
The queen squinted, and although her heart was not happy, she did not have an immediate attack.
She swept over with a look, and the palace maid personally served tea to Chu Qianchen.
The queen smiled and said, "Ninth brother and sister, you are a new wife and have just married to the palace, can you still adapt?" ”
Chu Qianchen replied succinctly: "Adapt." ”
What can she not adapt to, her days in the palace are much more comfortable than in the Hou mansion.
Mrs. Tai frowned again, feeling that Chu Qianchen was too unable to speak, and answered dryly.
The queen didn't care, and asked casually: "The Nine Emperor Brothers have been in the Northland for many years, and their tastes have changed a lot, can the younger brothers and sisters still get used to eating in the palace?" ”
This time, Chu Qianchen still only said two words: "Habit." ”
She is really used to it, and she especially likes Chef Tian's craftsmanship.
"That's good." The corners of the queen's mouth stiffened for a moment, and then she smiled, "Hey, there are no elders in this Chenwang Mansion, and this palace has always been worried that you don't like the ninth brother and sister." If you suffer any grievances in the future, just tell this palace that this palace will make decisions for you. ”
The queen's words were high-sounding, but Chu Qianchen just responded politely: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”
These six words are obviously just polite perfunctory.
The queen pretended to take another sip of tea, but in fact her lips were not touched by the mouth of the cup at all.
The third question, the queen can be regarded as getting to the point: "Brother and sister, this palace heard that the great prince of Nan Hao's Wuhe once visited the palace of King Chen...... Before the Nine Emperor Brothers left Beijing this time, did they say anything to you? ”
The emperor has always been concerned about Gu Jue's private meetings with Uhajialou several times, but both Gu Jue and Uhajialou's mouths are very strict.
Chu Qianchen didn't speak, just pursed his lips and smiled, revealing a pair of shallow pear vortices.
The queen frowned again, thinking that Chu Qianchen didn't understand, and raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai was stunned by the queen's look and couldn't look directly into the queen's eyes.
She was already a little uneasy, and immediately asked out loud: "Sister Chen, what is the queen asking you?" ”
Mrs. Tai felt in her heart that Chu Qianchen, this girl, was too unruly, and she was raised by Jiang Minshan to be too childish and too unruly.
In her opinion, when the queen asked, Chu Qianchen should answer well whether she knew it or not, what kind of attitude is it to be deaf and silent like she is now!!
"What did the queen ask?" Chu Qianchen asked suspiciously.
Mama Shan raised her chin and repeated for the queen: "Niangniang is asking you, what did Nanhao's Great Prince Wuhe and His Royal Highness King Chen say?" ”
Chu Qianchen pursed his lips again, his smile deepened, innocent and innocent.
Chu Qianchen didn't answer and asked: "A while ago, the Northwest soldiers asked for the title of King of Nanyang for the prince of Nanyang, Niangniang, can the emperor respond?" ”
"......" The queen felt that Chu Qianchen was simply inexplicable, and reprimanded unhappily, "You are a woman who dares to inquire about the affairs of the imperial court!" ”
Chu Qianchen seemed to have heard some joke, and laughed, only briefly.
Chu Qianchen bowed his head solemnly and said: "Niangniang is right, women should not inquire about the affairs of the imperial court. ”
"......" Queen didn't think about it before, and only then did she taste the taste, and her face darkened again.
Mama Shan was dumbfounded, simply dumbfounded.
This Princess Chen is really sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, and she actually let the queen touch a soft nail in her!
