119 Cause and Effect (2nd Update)

Chu Qianchen looked at Chu Qianhuang, the corners of his lips curled, and he retreated.

Chu Qianhuang blew on the back of his hand a few times, quickly calmed down, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Second sister, you misunderstood me." ”

She only said this sentence and said no more.

After that, there was silence in the carriage, and neither of the sisters spoke again.

Chu Qianchen poured herself a cup of tea and drank it comfortably, as if Chu Qianhuang was not here at all, and her eyes didn't even look at Chu Qianhuang anymore.

However, Chu Qianhuang couldn't control himself, and looked at Chu Qianchen from time to time, his eyes were a little complicated.

Chu Qianchen in the dream is definitely not like this......

Chu Qianhuang's eyes flickered, and the nails of his thumb subconsciously picked at his fingertips.

The carriage arrived at the palace gate in silence.

There was already a long queue at the gate of the palace, and the carriages of various prefectures occupied the entire Chang'an Avenue, slowly advancing like a turtle.

If it is the carriage of the princes and nobles and the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, they can also cut the queue and enter the palace first, and the Yongding Marquis Mansion is really not in the flow among the nobles in the capital, so they can only line up in a regular manner, and slowly move forward with the carriages in front.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the carriage of the Hou Mansion arrived in front of the palace gate.

Mrs. Tai, Shen, Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen got out of the carriage one after another.

Shen also knew that the sisters' carriage had stopped once in the middle of the carriage just now, and Mama Wang also replied about Chu Qianhuang's motion sickness, but she didn't believe it all, and looked at the sisters with scrutinizing eyes.

Chu Qianchen smiled slightly, and looked back at Shen generously, but Chu Qianhuang avoided her gaze with wandering eyes.

Shen: "......"

Shen's eyes flashed slightly, his gaze stopped on Chu Qianhuang's face for a moment, and he just said to Mrs. Tai, "Mother, let's go." ”

Mrs. Tai didn't pay attention at all, what she was thinking about today's longevity banquet was in her mind, and she said a few words to her two granddaughters, and then she entered the palace with a small waiter.

Under the guidance of the little chamberlain, the four of them first went to Fengluan Palace to meet the queen.

In the Fengluan Palace, there were already seven or eight female dependents, all of whom were smiling and talking around the queen on the phoenix throne.

When the four members of the Chu family entered the hall, the eyes of those ladies all looked at them, and most of them fell on Chu Qianchen, either exploring, looking, or amazed.

Everyone was somewhat curious about the future Princess Chen.

Not to mention anything else, the appearance of this second girl of Chu can be described as first-class among the nobles in the capital.

The four members of the Chu family quickly walked up to the queen and bowed to the queen in unison: "See the queen's mother!" ”

The queen was dressed in gorgeous Zhai clothes, wearing a crown of nine Zhai, elegantly sitting on a gold-lacquered phoenix seat, with a graceful and dignified appearance, with the unique loftiness of the lord of the harem.

"No courtesy." The queen smiled slightly, raised her hand to signal them to be exempt, and then looked at Chu Qianchen.

The queen knew Mrs. Tai, the Shen family and Chu Qianhuang, so she could naturally guess who Chu Qianchen was, and her smile was friendly.

"This is the second girl of your mansion, right?" The queen asked with a smile.

Mrs. Tai hurriedly replied "Yes", and the queen beckoned to Chu Qianchen, "Come to the palace and take a look." ”

Chu Qianchen took two steps forward and walked to the queen.

The queen had already been instructed by the emperor, and her attitude towards Chu Qianchen was very kind, and she personally took off the mutton fat white jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on Chu Qianchen's hand as a meeting gift.

"The courtiers thanked the queen mother." Chu Qianchen saluted and thanked him in an orderly manner, always half-hanging his head, and "didn't dare" to look directly at the queen.

"It's all a family, so there's no need to be polite." The queen took Chu Qianchen's hand affectionately, looked her up and down, and asked her with a smile how old she was this year and what she usually liked to do.

Chu Qianchen always hung her little face, the queen asked, she answered, and the answer was concise and clear, without saying a word.

Her appearance of "not even daring to say more" became cowardly and weak in the eyes of the queen.

The queen secretly said to herself: This second girl of Chu is just like the emperor said, she is a concubine who can't get on the stage, compared with King Chen, it can be described as a heaven and an earth.

Even if she didn't look down on Chu Qianchen in her heart, the queen kept smiling all the time, and seemed to attach great importance to this future brother-in-law, and taught earnestly: "Second girl Chu, you are young, after marrying into the palace of King Chen in the future, if you don't understand anything, you can enter the palace at any time to find the palace." ”

The queen raised her hand and made a gesture, and an old woman with a disc face took a token and presented it to Chu Qianchen.

"In the future, you can enter the palace at any time with this token."

The queen was so enthusiastic about Chu Qianchen, which was naturally the emperor's intention.

Although the emperor didn't explain his words, he was as smart as a queen, and vaguely understood what the emperor meant.

Chu Qianchen is just a concubine, she is a dignified queen, as long as she shows her a little kindness, she will be grateful to Dade, and if there is anything in the future, she can also enter the palace to report the news.

Mrs. Tai was taken aback, she didn't expect the queen to look at Chu Qianchen so differently, there are not many people in the capital who can have this kind of token, at least the first rank or more of the order lady, such as the princess, the married princess, the duchess or the first wife, etc.

Mrs. Tai hurriedly thanked Chu Qianchen: "Thank you for the love of the queen mother." ”

Chu Qianchen retreated to the side of Mrs. Tai and Shen, and curtsied again.

At this moment, a palace maid stepped forward with a smile and said, "Niangniang, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess has come down." ”

When the queen heard this, her graceful face became a little more loving, and she raised her eyes and looked out of the hall.

Outside the hall, a girl in a pink palace dress and a double snail bun walked quickly towards this side, and the other ladies also saw the girl, and several of them exchanged a subtle look with each other.

The third princess quickly entered the palace and saluted the queen first, and then she looked at Chu Qianchen with a smile, her smile was innocent and innocent, and she said affectionately: "Sister, why don't you come to see me?" ”

The third princess didn't seem to see Chu Qianhuang at all, and the queen and the surrounding wives and girls were stunned.

Didn't you say that this second girl of Chu had only entered the palace once before?

Why does the third princess seem to be very familiar with her?

The third princess affectionately took one of Chu Qianchen's arms, held her coquettishly, and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, I want to change my partner." ”

Chu Qianhuang's face changed slightly, and her hand subconsciously pinched the handkerchief, and after a while, she calmed down.

The queen was even more surprised in her heart, and quietly glanced at Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang, and a deep strange light flashed in her eyes.

"An Le, don't you like Qianhuang very much?" When the queen looked at the third princess An Le, her expression became gentle and loving.

"I like Qianhuang," An Le smiled and nodded, "But I also want to play with my sister, my sister is so beautiful!" ”

An Le thought about Chu Qianchen's heroic figure when he was shooting arrows in Yunting Pavilion that day, his eyes were shining, and he felt that Chu Qianchen was more beautiful than the women she had ever seen!

The queen was stunned, thinking that her daughter had always liked beautiful things, beautiful flowers, beautiful peacocks, and beautiful yellow warblers...... And good-looking people.

It's normal for a daughter to like Chu Qianchen...... The girls of the Chu family are all scheming, young, and so good at coaxing people!

The other ladies in the hall naturally heard An Le's words, and a princess in her forties, wearing a crown of pearls and emeralds, said with a smile: "Queen Mother, the third princess is right, the second girl of Chu is really good-looking, even I think it looks good, and King Chen is even more talented and beautiful." ”

The ladies exchanged glances with a smile on their faces.

This second girl of Chu is really beautiful!

It doesn't matter if it's a straw bag beauty, she is pleasing to the eye even if she stands there.

Several other princes and duchesses also echoed each other, mostly full of praise.

The county lord of Changning looked at the pot next to him from time to time, and suddenly said with a smile: "An Le, there is a martial arts test in the palace today, I remember that the eldest prince of Chu will also participate, and the second girl of Chu must also want to go to see Brother Ling, right?" ”

Princess Shun glanced at her daughter quickly. Knowing her daughter, Mo Ruomu, she naturally heard that her daughter was impatient to accompany them here, so she wanted to encourage the third princess to go to the martial arts arena to watch the martial arts test.

An Le's eyes brightened, and he forgot about reading for a while, and dragged Chu Qianchen's arm and said to the queen in the wind and rain: "Queen Mother, my sister and I went to see the martial arts test." ”

The queen also saw the mind of the county lord of Changning, but this kind of trivial matter was harmless, so she also complied with Anle's wishes, and said with a smile: "This palace knows that you young people can't sit still, so go play by yourself, you don't need to accompany you here." ”

As soon as the queen said this, those noble ladies were all happy, and they all felt restrained here, and they couldn't wait to go out to see the martial arts test.

So, the nobles present got up and retreated, and walked out with the three princesses at the front, An Le and Chu Qianchen.

An Le held Chu Qianchen's arm and refused to let go, and while walking, he whispered in her ear: "Sister, the fragrance on your body smells so good, fragrant, sweet ......"

As she spoke, the tip of her nose moved, almost sticking to Chu Qianchen's body, like a clingy little milk dog.

"This is a sachet that I made myself." Chu Qianchen said with a smile.

Because An Le's hair touched her neck, she felt a little itchy, and the smile on her face deepened.

She doesn't like the emperor, but she doesn't hate this naΓ―ve third princess, and even has some sympathy, in her previous life, the third princess finally married Nan Hao, who was thousands of miles away, on the orders of her father, and married Nan Hao, and never set foot on her homeland again in her lifetime.

The group was talking in twos and threes, and walked in the direction of the Mingde Palace.

Chu Qianhuang in the rear looked at Chu Qianchen's back, his steps unconsciously slowed down, and then slowed down, pulling out a distance of at least seven or eight zhang from Chu Qianchen, and he was uneasy.

The scene in the carriage came to her mind over and over again, over and over again......

Until this moment, Chu Qianhuang still felt frightened, and when she thought about it, her heart pounded faster, and the blood in her whole body seemed to rush to her heart......

Emotions such as surprise, shock, suspicion, uneasiness, etc., are all there.

Chu Qianhuang remembered her dream again, and the fragments in the dream flashed chaotically.

She was sure that Chu Qianchen in the dream was not such a character, it was a girl who would never say "no" to others, and she was timid and timid.

Fate is unfair.

Some people are born to be honored, and some people are humble to death.

A good-for-nothing girl like Chu Qianchen has been honored all her life in her dreams, but she has been reduced to nothing in her dreams.

Dreams and reality are suddenly intertwined.

Chu Qianhuang had to admit that the so-called "fate" seemed to have a magical power, obviously some things were different, but they would still embark on a path that was almost the same......

As long as she is not careful, she may not recover, and go down the same path as in her dreams.

Chu Qianhuang was in a slight trance, and her mind drifted away, until the noise from front of her drew her attention.

Only then did Chu Qianhuang notice that they had come to the vicinity of the Mingde Palace.

In front of the Mingde Palace, there is a huge school field, for today's martial arts test, a number of stands and seats have been built around the school field, and at this moment, there are crowds of people as far as the eye can see.

In addition to the forbidden soldiers who guarded the order, there were not only men who came to participate in the martial arts test today, but also those fanbang aliens who had nosetopped noses and deep eyes and fancy clothes.

The solemn and majestic palace on weekdays is particularly lively and vibrant today.

These nobles couldn't help but glance curiously at those aliens, and most of them whispered to each other, with strange excitement on their faces and their eyes shining.

"Your Highness," Chu Qianhuang walked to An Le's side, raised his hand and pointed in a direction, "Shall we go sit over there?" The view from there is good, and you will definitely see it clearly later. ”

As she spoke, she turned her head and asked the county lord of Changning, "County lord, what do you think?" ”

The county lord of Changning was looking around to find the traces of the prince of Shun, and answered casually.

The other ladies also had no opinion, and walked towards a seat in the northeast with An Le in their arms.

At this time, Chu Qianchen saw a familiar figure, and with a slow step, he landed behind.

To the southwest, a long, white-robed monk walked towards him, followed by five or six retinues dressed in moon-white beards.

The monk's white clothes were as pure as snow, as if he was more pure and flawless than the white clouds in the sky, as if he did not belong to this mortal world at all, and he was incompatible with the beings around him.

The Daqi people and those aliens on the school field all looked at the monk in unison, some were amazed by his otherworldly temperament, some knew his identity, and some were curious how a monk could appear here.

In the midst of these hundreds of glances, Jialou walked in front of Chu Qianchen unhurriedly, the white monk's robe moving with the wind, and the hem of his clothes fluttering.

"Mage." Chu Qianchen smiled slightly, but it was not surprising that he would see Jialou here, after all, the people of Haoguo originally accepted the emperor's invitation to come to the capital to participate in the longevity banquet.

Mage?! Chu Qianhuang in front of her heard the voice, looked back suddenly, looked towards Jialou with deep eyes, stopped, and the county lord of Changning beside her blurted out in a low voice: "Wuhajialou!" ”

Jialou politely bowed to Chu Qianchen, and a shallow smile appeared on his lips, "The girl trusts the Buddha?" ”

Chu Qianchen just laughed, noncommittal.

Jialou didn't expect her to answer, and continued: "The Buddha said: There is a fate to meet, there is a fate to meet, there is a fate to meet; There is no cause to be born, no reason is not destroyed, no cause is not dispersed. Everything is a cause and a combination, cherish the fate, the fate, everything follows the fate. ”

Chu Qianchen chewed on Jialou's words, and suddenly understood. Jia Lou may have also heard that she was given a marriage to King Chen, and her words were somewhat relieved.

Chu Qianchen felt the kindness of the other party, but it was inconvenient to say more, thought about it, and replied meaningfully with a Buddhist saying: "All kinds of things in this life are cause and effect in previous lives." ”

As she spoke, she changed her words, "I saved the cat in this life, maybe it was the cat who saved me in the last life." ”

She talks and laughs freely, with a bit of banter in her tone, so that people can't tell whether it is sincere or joking.

As she spoke, her gaze casually glanced at the back of Jialou's hand, the skin on the back of his hand was still smooth, and the scar from the previous scratch by the milk cat had long since healed.

Jialou was stunned, and there was a little more smile in his warm eyes.

This Chu girl is young, but she is an open-minded person, no wonder she can have such extraordinary medical skills at such a young age.

"How's that kitten's injury?" Garu asked with a smile.

Cat?! Chu Qianhuang's eyes widened, and his face was surprised.

Last time, she saw Wuhajialou in Yunting Pavilion and greeted Chu Qianchen, but she felt that the words were very rusty, and she also asked Chu Qianchen later, knowing that they were just one side.

But now, it's only been about half a month, are the two of them so familiar?!
