Duchess Mu was relieved, she knew that the most difficult hurdle for her daughter had passed.

Even if you want to settle accounts, you have to take it step by step, one by one. Anyway, if the monk can't run the temple, they won't suffer this big loss just like that!

Duchess Mu Guo and Mu Guogong quietly exchanged a look.

In the distance, there was the sound of a day's gong, piercing the night like a sharp arrow.

Shen turned his head and looked out the window, the night was as dark as ink and as cool as water.

She was already a little impatient, looking forward to coming soon tomorrow, and she would be able to see Chu Qianchen again......

Soon, Dongmei came in with a curtain on her face, and said, "Madam, the carriage of the Fang Cai Chen Mansion has arrived outside the Guogong Mansion, guess who is coming?" ”

Dongmei didn't mean to sell Guanzi, that is, to make Shen happy.

The answer to her question was obvious, and Mama Chen asked cooperatively, "Could it be His Royal Highness King Chen?" ”

"Isn't it!" Dongmei said happily.

Shen was startled at first and relieved. That's it!

Mu Guogong and Mrs. Mu Guogong glanced at each other again, and their eyes were a little surprised.

On the contrary, Mama Chen thought back to what she had seen and heard in King Chen's Mansion, and felt not surprised at all.

Mama Chen said again: "Madam, the slave maid went to King Chen's Mansion today, and without waiting for the second aunt and grandmother to speak, His Royal Highness King Chen took the initiative to let her come to the Guogong Mansion to see you......"

Mama Chen knew that in the past, the Shen family was worried that Chu Qianchen would be wronged in King Chen's mansion, but now judging from King Chen's various performances, at least it means that King Chen still attaches great importance to Chu Qianchen.

Shen's brows stretched slightly, and so did the second elder.

They were originally worried that Chu Qianchen would be unpleasant to both sides if she was ordered to marry to King Chen's Mansion, but now that she looks, her situation is still better than originally expected.

Mu Guogong stroked his beard and smiled: "King Chen is not an unreasonable person. ”

Chu Qianchen also didn't expect Gu Jue to come to pick him up.

At this moment, she had already gotten into Gu Jue's carriage, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, "Lord Wang!" ”

Amber felt that she was a little redundant, and took her seat next to the coachman.

In the capital at night, the streets were empty, and the carriages of King Chen's Mansion occupied the entire street alone.

Taking the warm tea handed over by Gu Jue, Chu Qianchen didn't wait for him to ask, he took the initiative to say, "I seem to be a mother's child......"

A few rays of hazy moonlight shone on her small face through the window of the carriage, and the girl's eyes were clear, looking forward to it, with a little innocence, a little expectation.

She told the story of what happened in the Guogong Mansion today, including the fact that she went to meet the monk who knew the guest.

Gu Jue leaned against the window and listened to her quietly.

The sound of horses' hooves reverberated clearly through the empty streets, especially loud in the silence of the night.

By the time Chu Qianchen got out of the carriage, the person had almost calmed down, his face was calm, but the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

Her life experience made her later, even if she was relieved of many things in her previous life, but relieved, how could she be indifferent to all this.

The two walked side by side and returned to the main courtyard, without saying anything more all the way.

Chu Qianchen raised her eyes and looked at the vast sky above, remembering the scene when the prince in her previous life taught her to learn the heavens and recognize the stars, her mood calmed down, and she felt that her own little thing was nothing at all in front of this sea of stars.

"Lord Wang......" Chu Qianchen stopped at the entrance of the courtyard and wanted to ask him if he had named her a good word.

At this time, Mama Cai greeted her, "Lord, princess, just set the meal." ”

As soon as the carriage entered the house, Mama Cai got the news and immediately asked people to set up a meal, and the time was just right.

Chu Qianchen then remembered that he hadn't even eaten dinner and was hungry.

But......

Chu Qianchen turned his head and looked at Gu Jue with disapproving eyes.

seems to be saying, the prince is really disobedient, she doesn't stare at him, he doesn't need dinner!

There is also that Yunzhan, he has time to drive the prince to the car, and he doesn't know how to urge the prince to eat!

If Yun Xian wasn't here, Chu Qianchen would have to train him well.

Gu Jue completely understood her expression and eyes, touched her head very easily, and said, "I'm hungry." ”

He smiled slightly, his smile was like a warm sun, softening his cold and frosty facial features, making him look more and more handsome, like a spring breeze, like a bright moon.

Chu Qianchen: "......"

Chu Qianchen almost wanted to coax him for a moment, but he immediately reacted and said to himself in his heart:

No, you can't let the prince coax him easily.

She thought so in her head, but she couldn't be fierce at all.

Just looking at him like this, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, and her smile was as bright as the starry sky on this summer night.

The prince is so cunning! Chu Qianchen said in his heart.

Gu Jue grabbed her slender wrist and walked towards the house.

A simple four dishes and one soup were set on the table.

Even if Chu Qianchen didn't look at it, she knew what was on the table, and the menu that Gu Jue ate every day was personally seen by her, not because she was not worried about the chef, but because she was afraid that the meal would be compatible with the medicine Gu Jue was taking, which would affect the medicinal properties. In addition, she also prepared some recipes for medicinal food for the kitchen, and asked the kitchen to make it for Gu Jue to eat every day according to her instructions.

Mama Cai personally cooked vegetables for the two of them on the side, and her eyes narrowed with a smile, feeling that since the princess married into the palace, this originally cold palace could be regarded as popular. This house really needs a hostess!

After the two of them had dinner and washed up, it was almost the second watch.

Chu Qianchen hurriedly urged Gu Jue to rest, feeling that the prince was too disobedient, she had to make a schedule for him to remind him of the time for eating, taking medicine and resting.

She also rested early.

The set of acupuncture techniques she ordered for the Shen family just now was extremely exhausting, more tired than she had been riding a horse for a day, and in addition, the sudden relief made her let go of a long-term concern, and not long after closing her eyes, she fell asleep.

It wasn't until there was the sound of even breathing next to him that Gu Jue quietly got up.

Chu Qianchen slept very deeply, the little movement around her did not alarm her, and she didn't notice Gu Jue leaving at all.

Gu Jue went to the front yard and recruited Changshi Cheng Linhua over.

"Tell me about the Chu family." Gu Jue motioned for Cheng Linhua to sit down and asked straight to the point.

As early as a few months ago, after knowing that the divine doctor in Jishitang was the daughter of the Chu family, Gu Jue asked Cheng Linhua and them to check on Chu Qianchen, but at that time, they only found out that she was the concubine of the Chu family's room.

After that, the emperor suddenly gave Gu Jue this marriage, although Gu Jue was not in the capital at that time, but the Chen Wangfu still carefully investigated the Chu family for this.

Cheng Linhua vaguely guessed why Gu Jue suddenly asked about the Chu family because of Chu Qianchen, so his answer was also centered on Chu Qianchen: "The princess is the second daughter of the concubine, and she was born to Aunt Jiang, the concubine of Chu Lingxiao, the Marquis of Yongding. ”

"That Aunt Jiang is the distant niece of Mrs. Jiang of the Hou Mansion, who came to the Hou Mansion to live in the Hou Mansion more than 20 years ago because of the death of her parents, and she was a childhood sweetheart with Chu Lingxiao."

"Sixteen years ago, the first emperor had the intention to rectify military affairs, and the Marquis of Yongding was involved in the case of Liaodong's empty salary, and the title was in jeopardy. A year later, Shen Zhi married into the Hou Mansion, and in the same year, Chu Lingxiao accepted Aunt Jiang as a concubine and gave birth to a son and a daughter. ”

"Back then, Aunt Jiang and Shen Zhi were pregnant almost at the same time, and the old marquis was worried that Chu Lingxiao's favorite concubine would kill his wife, so he drove Aunt Jiang to his hometown."

"Later, this wife and concubine gave birth to a daughter on the same day, the eldest daughter of Chu Qianhuang and the princess in the Hou Mansion."

Cheng Linhua said, Gu Jue listened.

Gu Jue's knuckles twitched lightly on his knees.

Cheng Linhua didn't know if Gu Jue still wanted to listen to Chu Yunyi, Chu Yunmu and Chu Qianhuang, so he paused, carefully observing his words and feelings, and always felt that the prince's attention to the princess was a little different from others.

At least, in the heart of the prince, the princess should be a somewhat special person.

Gu Jue's knuckles stopped and asked, "Is the princess having a bad time in the Hou Mansion?" ”

Cheng Linhua felt that the prince would definitely not like his answer, but he still nodded honestly: "Indeed." ”

"Once upon a time, the princess was in the Hou Mansion, and almost no one would look at her directly."

"Last year, I was sent to Zhuangzi to live for more than half a year, and later I was brought back to Beijing by Mrs. Hou Shen Zhi."

"It wasn't until March this year that the princess rescued the fourth young master Chu Yunmu and showed her medical skills for the first time."

Cheng Linhua sighed with a little emotion: "It's this Mrs. Yongding Hou who has a good heart, otherwise if she were to change to the Yun family, I am afraid that the princess would have been tossed to death......

He guessed in his heart that maybe the princess had some adventure when she lived in Zhuangzi at the beginning, so that she could learn such a medical skill. However, it is also their princess who is extremely talented and has the ability to never forget!

Cheng Linhua admired their new princess so much in his heart that he had to applaud Su Mubai's cunning fox.

Gu Jue stared at the pond outside the window, and under the moonlight, half of the lotus flowers bloomed in the night, like clouds steaming in the clouds.

When the evening breeze blows, the water of the pond is wrinkled, and there are bursts of ripples, and the lotus flowers are gently swaying, and a few dragonflies are flying above the pond.

"Meow!"

The little black cat happily chased a dragonfly, its green eyes shining in the dark of night. At night, it becomes energetic and goes around teasing birds and insects.

Gu Jue looked at the little cat who was having a lot of fun, and asked again, "What about Chu Lingxiao?" ”

Cheng Linhua's lips pursed, a little embarrassed.

He really doesn't look down on Chu Lingxiao, but he is also the princess's father.

Cheng Linhua pondered his words and said: "Yongding Hou has always favored Aunt Jiang, but Mrs. Hou was born in the Mu State Mansion, and he didn't have the courage to kill his wife, but the relationship between the husband and wife was very bad. ”

The little guy who came over to serve Gu Jue tea also heard this conversation, and interjected with a smile: "Master Cheng, you just said that he can eat soft rice and hard food." ”

This little guy has also followed Gu Jue to the Northland, and has been serving Gu Jue closely, so he is bolder than others when he speaks.
