The queen's lips pursed, and she stammered for a moment.

This Chu Qianchen just gagged her mouth lightly with just a few words, and now she couldn't answer correctly.

If she continued to ask Chu Qianchen about Wuhe Jialou, it would be a woman's interference in politics and a slap in her mouth, and it would be impossible for her to tell Emperor Chu Qianchen that she didn't want to crown the prince of Nanyang as the new king of Nanyang.

The east side hall was silent, and the palace people were all holding their breath, and the air was solidified.

Chu Qianchen was still smiling, his smile was bright and bright.

The Queen's gaze fell on her face, and the two looked at each other.

Chu Qianchen always smiled, and there was not the slightest wavering in his expression.

Silence spread.

Gradually, Queen Lian was a little unsure, whether Chu Qianchen really didn't know, or deliberately blocked herself.

Mrs. Tai clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand and tensed up.

Mrs. Tai was also summoned to the palace by the queen today, and she had just arrived before a stick of incense. Originally, she was also a little trembling, and she didn't want the queen to be kind and kind to her, and she praised their Chu family in every word:

"The tutor of the Chu family is good, the palace looks at the concubine gentle and generous, Qianhuang is also a good child, Mrs. Chu is really well-taught."

"The Marquis of Yongding went to the northwest this time and also worked hard, and the emperor also praised the Marquis of Yongding several times in front of the palace, saying that there are few capable ministers in the court, and the Marquis of Yongding is one of them, and this time he will not be disappointed when he goes to the northwest......"

Although the queen's words were vague, the implication was obvious, if Chu Lingxiao's errand in the northwest was done well this time, when he returned to Beijing, the emperor would definitely reuse and promote him.

Mrs. Tai just wanted to say a few good words for her eldest son euphemistically, when Chu Qianchen came.

This girl is simply a disaster star, she has just come, and after only saying two or three words, Mrs. Tai can feel that the queen's expression is not quite right, and her heart sank little by little.

If it was in Fengluan Palace at this moment, Mrs. Tai would probably be angry.

Chu Qianchen, this girl is really rude, and when she talks to the queen with this attitude, it will only make the queen feel that she can't even manage a granddaughter.

I'm afraid this girl is the enemy of their Chu family in the previous life, and she came to collect debts in this life!

As the silence continued, Mrs. Tai's face became more and more ugly, and she looked nervously at the queen on Luohan's bed.

She wanted to say a few words to ease the scene, but she was afraid that it would be self-defeating, so she was angered by the queen.

The queen's face was cloudy, and something seemed to be raging under her skin.

I don't know how long it took, but the queen finally moved, picked up the teacup at hand, and drank two more sips of tea.

Mama Shan has served by the queen's side for many years, and it can be seen at a glance that the queen's fingers painted with red kodan are tight. Since ascending the throne today, the queen has had a smooth life, and she has suffered two losses on Chu Qianchen.

After the queen put down the teacup, her expression returned to normal, and she suppressed her displeasure.

Her gaze turned to Mrs. Tai again, and she stiffly changed the subject: "Mrs. Chu is really blessed, her two granddaughters are well raised." ”

"An Le often boasted that Qianhuang was good at everything in front of the palace, two days ago, when the princess of Jingjun came, she also told the palace that thanks to Qianhuang personally went to Wuweiguan to ask for Fu water for the lord of Hui'an County, the county lord's body was very good."

When Mrs. Tai heard this, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she said with a smile: "The queen mother praised it." The eldest granddaughter of the courtier has always been well-behaved and kind-hearted. ”

Mrs. Tai has always liked Chu Qianhuang, the eldest granddaughter, and felt that she had the demeanor of the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, and at this moment, listening to the queen praising the eldest granddaughter, she felt that Chu Qianhuang was much better than Chu Qianchen, who was a child. Chu Qianchen was really abolished by Aunt Jiang, and there was no Chu family in his heart at all.

Chu Qianchen: "......"

Chu Qianchen, who had been smiling, changed her face slightly, she had just been to Mu Guogong's Mansion the day before yesterday, but she had never heard Shen talk about it.

The queen's words were clearly saying that Gu Zhiyan's absence of consciousness had occurred again a few days ago, and it was Chu Qianhuang who went to her and begged Fu Shui to cure her.

Thinking of Gu Zhiyan's illness, Chu Qianchen frowned slightly, his eyes dark.

Gu Zhiyan's disease is a heart disease, and the medicine is a symptom but not a root cause, which can only alleviate Gu Zhiyan's symptoms.

This heart disease still needs heart medicine, and if she wants to cure Gu Zhiyan, she still has to start from the "root", but she has never known the cause, so she can only use incense to ease Gu Zhiyan's emotions.

Gu Zhiyan was sick, but after taking the runic water that Chu Qianhuang begged for, his illness was alleviated, so what kind of rune water did Chu Qianhuang seek from nothing?

Chu Qianchen was immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't listen to the empty polite words between the queen and the lady...... It wasn't until Amber in the back quietly pulled down Chu Qianchen's cuffs that Chu Qianchen came back to his senses.

"Do you think the ninth brother and sister?" The queen asked Chu Qianchen with a smile.

Chu Qianchen looked at the queen and smiled silently.

She actually didn't hear what they were saying in front of her, but she didn't show any face, and others couldn't see that she was absent-minded.

Just looking at Chu Qianchen, the anger in the queen's heart rose slowly.

The queen's hand on her knee was retracted, hidden in her sleeve, and her fingertips pinched her palm.

Thinking of the purpose of calling Chu Qianchen today, the queen finally recognized it again, with a graceful smile on her face, and continued: "The ninth brother and sister are really blessed, when they are in their mother's house, they are taken care of by their elders and have sisters to help them, so this day is naturally comfortable and proper." ”

Mrs. Tai nodded with concern on the side.

Amber pursed her lips mockingly, only thinking that the queen's words such as "good fortune" and "comfortable and proper" were extremely harsh. My own princess has suffered such a big grievance in the Hou Mansion in the past ten years, where did the blessing come from!

The queen looked like an eldest sister-in-law like a mother, and said: "Now that you are married, the population of the palace is simple, the queen mother is in the palace, and there is no one in the palace to take care of you and help you. ”

"Last month, the palace asked Mama Jin of the Internal Affairs Office to send a few palace maids to the palace to call the nine brothers and sisters, but the nine brothers and sisters confiscated ......"

Of course, it was the emperor's intention to give the palace to King Chen's mansion, but he borrowed the queen's name, at that time, all the palace people brought by Jin Mama were returned, and the emperor was furious about this, and he couldn't help Gu Jue, and this matter could only be stopped.

The queen made a look, and Mama Shan high-fived her twice.

The next moment, five palace maids dressed in one-color palace clothes walked in from outside the hall one by one, their movements were neat and uniform, and they were elegant and good-looking, and their manners were not worse than those nobles of the noble mansions.

"......" Mrs. Tai's face changed again, and it was only now that she knew that Chu Qianchen dared to refuse even the person given by the queen, and she disliked Chu Qianchen again in her heart, and her heart was rising.

The queen continued: "Ninth brother and sister, you have just become a wife, and you have never managed the house before, I'm afraid you don't know that there are so many people and so many things in the outer and inner courtyards of a palace, and it is impossible to do it without help." ”

"This palace personally selected a few people for the nine brothers and sisters this time, all of them are outstanding, one in a hundred, and the nine brothers and sisters will be brought back to the palace today."

"These people, the ninth brother and sister will bring them back today, if you feel good, please seal a side concubine in a few days, and serve the nine emperor brothers and nine brothers and sisters well in the future."

What she meant was that the palace people sent to King Chen's Mansion last time were too mediocre, and it was no wonder that Chu Qianchen looked down on them, but this time the palace maids were all carefully selected by her, and all of them were good.

The queen raised her chin slightly, talked to herself, and finished saying everything she wanted to say, and then symbolically asked Chu Qianchen: "What do the ninth brothers and sisters think?" ”

The queen's attitude towards Chu Qianchen was a bit of a matter of course, and in her mind, she never thought that Chu Qianchen was qualified to refuse.

Recently, the emperor has not been waiting to see the prince, blaming the prince for letting Gu Jue escort Wuhe Jialou back to Hao, during this time, the emperor has many reproaches for the prince, and the queen feels sorry for her son and is indignant for the prince.

The queen felt that Gu Jue was not in the capital now, but an opportunity.

Without Gu Jue's support, can Chu Qianchen, a weak woman, still be able to support King Chen's Mansion?!

She is the queen of the palace and Chu Qianchen's eldest sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, no matter where she gives someone to Chenwangfu, it is reasonable, Chu Qianchen has to accept it if she doesn't accept it.

If Chu Qianchen doesn't want to accept it today, then he must please himself.

If Chu Qianchen accepts it, then he will not only suppress Chu Qianchen and suppress her momentum, but also successfully bury his eyeliner in King Chen's Mansion.

Either way, she was invincible.

The queen smiled confidently and picked up the teacup again, and this time, her movements were a little leisurely.

Chu Qianchen patiently finished speaking with the queen, without even moving the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and refused without saying a word: "It's not good." ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Inside the side hall, there was a dead silence, and the sound of cicadas outside was particularly sharp and piercing.

"......" The teacup in the queen's hand slipped, and she almost didn't let go, and the smile on the corner of her mouth finally couldn't be maintained.

Chu Qianchen calmly added two words: "It's too ugly." ”

The queen put the teacup on the coffee table heavily, her movements were too big, and she made a gurgling sound, which frightened the hearts of the surrounding palace people to skip a beat.

The five palace maids couldn't help but look at Chu Qianchen.

The brightly dressed girl's eyebrows and eyes are slightly bent, her eyes are like stars, like a delicate flower bathed in the sun, delicate and fragrant; It is like a bright and lustrous pearl, dazzling.

Her appearance and temperament are outstanding, and she is born with a dazzling brilliance that eclipses others.

The palace maids had different expressions, and they all hung their heads.

The five of them are carefully selected by the queen from hundreds of palace maids, and they are naturally all beauties, some are gorgeous and charming, some are playful and cute, some are gentle and calm, and some are weak and shy.

They are all beauties, but they are just beauties, and compared with Chu Qianchen, they are more than a star and a half apart.

Amber tried to hold back her laughter, secretly applauding her princess in her heart.

With Chu Qianchen's stunning appearance, she said that these palace maids are ugly, strictly speaking, yes.

In other words, he spoke more bluntly, and he didn't save face at all.

However, the emperor and the palace of King Chen have already torn their faces, so why bother to leave any face!

Before the queen could say anything, Mrs. Tai finally couldn't suppress the irritability and apprehension in her heart, and scolded Chu Qianchen again: "Sister Chen, what are you talking about, how can you be so unruly!" ”

"The queen mother is kind-hearted, and she specially picked someone to share it with you, how can you judge it by her appearance!"

Mrs. Tai's chest rose and fell, and she was very angry.

She really doesn't know what this granddaughter is thinking, does she want to completely offend the emperor and bring trouble to the entire Chu family?!

"That's what Grandmother said." Chu Qianchen nodded thoughtfully, and echoed, "Aunt Guifei should also share the queen's worries and take on more palace affairs, so as not to make the queen too tired." ”

Chu Qianchen fought back in two and two.

Since Mrs. Tai said that the side concubine rewarded by the queen is to share her worries, then the concubine, as the emperor's "side concubine", also shares the worries of the queen.

The atmosphere was stiff again, and the word "presumptuous" was on the queen's lips.

The heads of the palace people were lowered.

On the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to snore, of course, it is impossible for the queen to divide power to Concubine Chu.

Concubine Chu has two princes, and she is a concubine, which seems to be noble, but everyone in the palace knows that what Chu Guifei has is just an external honor, in fact, she is neither favored by the emperor nor has any real power in the palace.

Therefore, Concubine Chu has always obeyed the queen's orders in the palace, and also instructed the second prince to listen to the prince in everything.

Not only the people in the palace, but also those courtiers and nobles also knew that the status of the queen and the crown prince was as stable as Mount Tai.

Mrs. Tai was angry, scared and uneasy, but Chu Qianchen was smiling, with a bright smile and carefree.

She looked at the queen with a smile and asked, "Queen Mother, did I say that?" ”

The "......" queen was once again blocked by Chu Qianchen and was speechless, and she was in a dilemma.

If she said that the concubines were just playthings, Chu Qianchen would have already said that those palace maids were too ugly - indeed, if there was no comparison, these palace maids would still be able to take a look, but compared with Chu Qianchen, they would not be able to get on the stage, to put it mildly, how could the silk flower not be able to compete with the real king of flowers, the peony!

However, she couldn't support Mrs. Chu's remarks.

If she said that Mrs. Chu was right, it would be equivalent to agreeing to the division of power to Concubine Chu.

Chu Qianchen, this girl is so treacherous that she blocked all her words.

Ignoring Queen Tieqing's complexion, Chu Qianchen suddenly covered his mouth and whispered: "Queen Mother, has the inner library been tightening recently?" ”

Her words are equivalent to saying that there is no money in the palace, and the queen can't afford to support people, so she thinks about sending people to the palace for idle meals.

Amber nodded approvingly.

The princess is right, these palace maids are too ugly, they have been an eyesore for a long time, and they can't share the business for the princess, that is, they eat idle meals, and they really accept all the fragrant and smelly things in the palace of Chenwang!

This last sentence was like a sharp arrow piercing the queen's chest.

The queen's heart ached faintly, and anger swelled in her eyes.

How dare such a concubine speak to her dignified queen, she doesn't know how thick the sky is!

The queen is not only disgusted with Chu Qianchen, but even Mrs. Tai also holds a grudge.

Thinking about it carefully, these words of the ancestors and grandchildren are simply singing and harmonizing, one pretending to be black-faced, and the other pretending to be white-faced, did they discuss it in advance and wanted to take the opportunity to help Chu Guifei divide power from their own hands? !

The more the queen thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible.

As a grandmother, Mrs. Chu has not said a good word to Chu Qianchen, a granddaughter, since she entered the palace, which is obviously unreasonable.

The queen looked at Chu Qianchen and Mrs. Tai back and forth with suspicious eyes, and saw that Mrs. Tai's scalp was numb, and cold sweat oozed from the corners of her forehead.

Chu Qianchen was calm and composed.

She didn't care what the queen was thinking at all, and asked herself with a smile and replied, "It's inconvenient for the queen to say it." ”

She looked like "I'm not strong", and while saying, she stood up and said: "Queen Mother, it's rare for me to enter the palace, I have to go to the queen mother to say goodbye." ”

At the end, she also added: "The queen mother must have been in good health recently, otherwise the queen mother would not be in the mood to entertain me and my grandmother." ”

She was blessed with a blessed body, and she was considered to have said goodbye, and she didn't give the queen a chance to speak again, and retired on her own.

Mrs. Tai was dumbfounded again, she couldn't believe that Chu Qianchen actually left so swaggeringly, and didn't take the queen in her eyes at all.

Mrs. Tai's lips moved slightly, her heart was even more chaotic, her eyes turned black for a while, and she secretly called "evil", and hated Aunt Jiang even more in her heart.

She didn't shout, another voice shouted: "Chu, Qian, Chen." ”

The queen called Chu Qianchen's name by name, she was really angry, she couldn't stop shaking, and her face was white and blue.

Chu Qianchen stopped and turned around.

"Don't forget, the Nine Emperor Brothers are not in the capital now." The queen said slowly, her voice was so cold that she almost fell out of the ice slag, and her eyes were as cold as the cold winter of the wax moon.

Chu Qianchen really thinks that she is a dignified queen who has nothing to do with her?!

Chu Qianchen smiled as if he had heard some joke.

Chu Qianchen asked: "The scenery of Fengtai is good, has the queen been there?" ”

Her words sounded completely wrong, Mrs. Tai didn't understand, and her brows furrowed even tighter, but the queen understood.

Gu Jue is not here, but the 30,000 Xuanjia troops are still in the capital.

Now the Fengtai camp has become the garrison of the Xuanjia army, and the Xuanjia battalion is only dedicated to the palace of the king of Zhongchen.

Chu Qianchen's words were a clear threat, and the queen weighed it.

"You ......" The queen felt as if she heard something exploding, her head was buzzing, and her chest seemed to explode in anger, and her body trembled even more.

Her throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood came out of her mouth.

The red blood left two pools of blood on the carpet, and it was thrillingly red.

The palace maids' eyes widened, and their minds went blank with fright.

"Queen Mother!"

Mrs. Tai, Mama Shan and others shouted at the same time, but Chu Qianchen was still motionless.

Mrs. Tai stood up from the chair suddenly, sweating profusely, and said, "Niangniang is angry!" ”

Mrs. Tai hurried over to show her loyalty and wanted to help the queen, but before her hand touched the queen's sleeve, she was already pushed away by the queen.

"Get out!"

The queen said coldly, her voice was full of anger and disgust, and she vented all her dissatisfaction with Chu Qianchen on Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai was wearing heavy makeup, and she was running in a hurry, and she didn't stand firm at all, when she was pushed by the queen so violently, she suddenly lost her balance, her feet stumbled, and she staggered and fell to the ground.

Even her bun was a little loose, a few strands of gray hair were scattered on her cheeks, and the sumptuous hairpin crown was tilted to one side, like a madwoman.

Mrs. Tai was even more panicked, thinking that the queen must have fallen in love with the Chu family because of Chu Qianchen.

Mrs. Tai's whole person is like falling into an ice cellar.

Now Chu Qianchen is just a mere concubine, but if the emperor knows that Chu Qianchen is the real eldest daughter, then what is the way out for the Chu family? !

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Tai felt that her eyes were gray, and her limbs were slightly cold.

Before a cup of tea, she thought that her eldest son had a bright future, but now, she felt as if she had fallen from heaven to hell, and their Chu family was like standing on the edge of a cliff, and if she was not careful, she would fall into the abyss and never recover.

It's over, the Chu family is all over!

Mrs. Tai's brain became a mess, and she couldn't think at all, so she shouted in her mouth: "Imperial Doctor, quickly announce Imperial Doctor!" ”

Mama Shan also shouted and asked the imperial doctor to come over.

Fengluan Palace was in chaos, chickens flying and dogs jumping.

No one noticed when Chu Qianchen went out, they all gathered around the queen, some people went to call the imperial doctor, some helped the queen to go to the inner room, and some went to pour tea and water......

Chu Qianchen, who had already walked out of Fengluan Palace, also heard the commotion inside, but he didn't stop at all.

Chu Qianchen's steps became brisker, and he happily went to Shouning Palace.

Chu Qianchen's entry into the palace naturally couldn't be hidden from the Empress Dowager Yin, the Empress Dowager Yin had been waiting for her for a long time, but this palace was the eyes and ears of the emperor, and she couldn't send someone to pick up Chu Qianchen, so she could only wait patiently in Shouning Palace.

Empress Dowager Yin thought that she would have to wait for an hour, but she didn't want Chu Qianchen to rush to Shouning Palace without a stick of incense.

Chu Qianchen once again probed the pulse of the Empress Dowager Yin, compared to two months ago, the Empress Dowager's phoenix body was much better. Although Empress Dowager Yin still looked dizzy to the outside world, in fact, the residual medicinal properties left in her body had been almost removed.

With Mama Yan here, no one found that Empress Dowager Yin's body was getting better day by day.

Chu Qianchen entered the palace this time and brought her special pills, let the Empress Dowager Yin continue to eat, and told her some things about Gu Jue.

For example, the frightening wind told her how Gu Jue used a tea lid to save the little black cat she raised;

For example, when she and Gu Jue went to watch juggling together, she caught two goldfish and gave them to him;

For example, she recently planned to help Gu Jue renovate the courtyard of the outer study a little......

She also deliberately brought the changed drawings to the Empress Dowager Yin, and also gave her a few ideas.

Just looking at her, Empress Dowager Yin smiled and was in a good mood.

After Chu Qianchen had lunch with the Queen Mother in Shouning Palace, he left the palace and did not go to Fengluan Palace to say goodbye to the queen, anyway, the queen should not want to see her.

She pondered that the queen was obviously very angry today, and she probably wouldn't summon her to the palace again for a while, so how would she enter the palace to see the queen mother next time?

Well, the Double Ninth Festival is not far away, and in more than a month, it will be almost the Queen Mother's birthday.

There will always be opportunities.

Chu Qianchen was in a good mood and went to the Mu Guogong Mansion for Gu Zhiyan.

Although listening to the meaning of the queen's words, Gu Zhiyan should be fine now, Chu Qianchen was still a little uneasy, and planned to ask again.

The Shen family was originally going to take a nap, but when they heard that Chu Qianchen was coming, they were overjoyed, and they didn't change their clothes anymore, and directly asked the big girl to lead Chu Qianchen to the inner room.

"Sister Chen, why are you here?" Shen looked at Chu Qianchen in surprise, pulled her to the edge of the couch and sat down, looking up and down at Chu Qianchen's big makeup, "Did you enter the palace today?" ”

Chu Qianchen had just come the day before yesterday, and he had originally made an appointment to come to the Guogong Mansion tomorrow.

Chu Qianchen nodded first, "Mother, I just came out of the palace, and I heard that Qi Niang's absence had another attack before?" ”

Speaking of Gu Zhiyan's frightened incident, Shen Shi showed a sigh on his face, and said that ten days ago, a woman named Furong stopped the carriage of the county king's mansion, made a threat, and finally committed suicide in front of the carriage, Gu Zhiyan was frightened.

This matter is related to the private interests of the Jingjun Palace, so when the Shen family saw that Gu Zhiyan was fine, he didn't tell Chu Qianchen.

Shen asked strangely, "Sister Chen, did you meet your third aunt in the palace?" ”

Chu Qianchen shook his head, "I heard what the queen said, saying that Chu Qianhuang went to Wuweiguan to ask Qi Niang for Fu Shui, and Qi Niang's aneuria eased." ”

Shen grabbed Chu Qianchen's hand and asked with some concern, "Did you embarrass you when you entered the palace today?" ”

Shen could guess if he thought about it, Queen Xuan Chu Qianchen must have entered the palace and had a bad intention.

Chu Qianchen knew that the Shen family was always worried that she was not doing well, so she smiled and told the things in the palace in a relaxed tone, and even didn't hide that she was so angry that she vomited blood, and finally said jokingly:

"Mother, don't worry, who can bully me!"

If she was so easily bullied, wouldn't she have failed the teachings of the prince in her previous life!

Amber agrees and nods her head frequently.

It's different from before, the girl used to be alone in the Hou Mansion, but now the girl is Princess Chen, and behind her there are King Chen and King Chen's Mansion, as well as so many soldiers of the Xuanjia Army.
