Mama Chen looked at Shen with a little uneasiness.

Shen Shi was not shocked, there was not a trace of emotion on his graceful and beautiful face, and said lightly: "Then hurry up and ask for a doctor...... Let Aunt Jiang go over to serve the sick. ”

She glanced at the girl in green clothes coldly, and said with a straight expression, what did Chu Lingxiao come to her when she was sick!

Shen continued to walk into the courtyard, and as he walked, he discussed the dowry with Mama Chen: "By the way, I remember that the third sister told me not long ago that the Jingjun Royal Mansion wants to buy land in Jizhou, maybe we can borrow an east wind." ”

"The land that the princess of the county can look at must be good land." Mama Chen responded with a smile.

She motioned to Dongmei with her eyes to hurry up and send off the guests, feeling happy in her heart: This Hou Ye, if you have something, you will come to annoy Mrs., and when you have nothing to do, you will hold his beautiful concubine and beautiful maid to talk about love, how can there be such a good thing in this world!

Shen's interest was even higher, and he said with a smile: "It just so happens that tomorrow is the birthday banquet, you can see the third sister, and I will ask again when the time comes." ”

"Isn't this just a sentence, if you want to doze off, someone will send a pillow." Mama Chen joked.

The master and servant entered the house chatting and laughing.

"Doctor......" The maid in Tsing Yi at the entrance of the courtyard wanted to say something more, but was strongly blocked by Dongmei and the two little maids.

The girl in Tsing Yi stretched her neck and glanced at Shen's back, stomped her feet, and finally left.

She had just walked on her front foot, and someone came to the main courtyard on her back foot.

"Big girl." Dongmei was surprised to see Chu Qianhuang, who was wearing a begonia red jacket, walking towards this side and going out of the courtyard to greet him personally.

Chu Qianhuang smiled lightly and said, "I just came back from the palace." ”

Today was not the day when Chu Qianhuang rested, but because tomorrow was the Birthday Day, the queen authorized her to go back to the house and enter the palace with the Shen family for a banquet tomorrow morning.

After Chu Qianhuang entered the palace as a companion again, she only came back once in the middle, but when she asked the Shen family to say goodbye, the Shen family didn't see her.

These days, in the palace, whenever she thinks of the Shen family, she is still a little panicked in her heart, so she is grinding hard today and will not leave the palace until this time.

When she was in the palace, she had already heard the news that the emperor had given Chu Qianchen and King Chen a marriage, and she also knew that the wedding was scheduled for a month later, but it was only after returning home that she learned that Chu Lingxiao was reprimanded by the emperor, and only then did she know that so many things had happened in the Hou Mansion.

"The eldest lady is inside, the eldest girl, please." Dongmei smiled and stretched out her hand to please the state.

As soon as the two of them walked to the entrance of the courtyard, they heard the curious voice of a little maid from the direction of the courtyard: "Mama Lin, does the eldest lady really want to transfer the eldest girl's dowry to the second girl?" ”

"That's still fake!" Another old female voice said, "The eldest lady has asked me to take the key to open the storeroom." ”

"These two girls are really good!" The little maid sighed with emotion.

Chu Qianhuang entered the courtyard at this time, and Mama Lin and the little maid in front of her also saw Chu Qianhuang and looked a little embarrassed.

The two hurriedly saluted Chu Qianhuang, didn't dare to stay for a moment, and trotted to run an errand.

Dongmei also felt that this fact was unfortunate in her heart, and looked at Chu Qianhuang cautiously.

The corners of Chu Qianhuang's lips tightened, his face sank for three points, and he stopped under the eaves.

She smiled reluctantly and said casually: "Dongmei, please help me report." ”

In the past, Chu Qianhuang didn't need to be notified when he entered the main courtyard, but the last time he returned home, the Shen family didn't see her.

Dongmei went into the house, and after a while, she came out, her face was even more complicated, and she said in a difficult voice: "Big girl, Madame will let you go back." ”

The implication is that Shen still refuses to see her.

Chu Qianhuang's body stiffened and stood there quietly.

Dongmei was thinking about whether to persuade Chu Qianhuang to say a few words, but saw Chu Qianhuang kneeling down suddenly, kneeling directly outside the threshold of the hall, with a "Shen family doesn't see her, she won't leave" style.

Dongmei didn't persuade her, and went inside again.

Chu Qianhuang's kneeling was a full half an hour.

The sun had completely set, the sky had turned a dark gray-blue, and lanterns had been lit in the courtyard and under the eaves, making the courtyard extremely quiet.

The curtain of Concubine Xiang leading to the second room suddenly moved, the curtain was opened, and Mama Chen walked out and walked all the way to Chu Qianhuang.

She sighed and persuaded comfortingly: "Big girl, Madame's anger has not subsided, tomorrow is the longevity banquet, you better go back and rest early." ”

"The days are still long, so why are you in a hurry?"

Mama Chen softened her voice and personally helped Chu Qianhuang to get up, for fear that she would make a mistake and have to kneel here for one night. After all, there is a birthday banquet tomorrow.

Chu Qianhuang got up, stroked her skirt, and said decently: "Mama Chen, I understand that I made my mother angry, and I will slowly make amends for her in the future." ”

The silver moonlight poured down, and under the eaves, her face was half in shadow, half in the moonlight, and the skin on her cheeks was like mutton fat white jade under the moon shining with a lustrous luster, and the eyes in the shadows were as dark as a pool, black and quiet, with a calm beyond her years.

Chu Qianhuang raised his hand and made a gesture, and the big girl hugged the piano and held a belt-shaped embroidery.

"Mama Chen, my mother always has abdominal pain when she comes to Kwai Shui, I heard a secret recipe in the palace, put medicinal herbs in this belly-wrapped belt, and wrap it around the waist and abdomen to relieve the soreness. I made it with my own hands. Chu Qianhuang said.

Mama Chen took the belt from Baoqin's hand, and was relieved in her heart, and said with a smile: "Big girl, don't worry, the slave will tell Madame." ”

Mama Chen wanted to explain the dowry again, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it after all, the Shen family and Chu Qianhuang are mother and daughter, and the Shen family only temporarily moved Chu Qianhuang's dowry, and she will definitely not be wronged by Chu Qianhuang, and Chu Qianhuang's dowry will only be better.

No matter how much she says now, it is better to let Chu Qianhuang witness it with her own eyes.

Chu Qianhuang smiled slightly, then stroked in the direction of the second room, and said to the Shen family: "Mother, I will retire first." ”

Dongmei sent Chu Qianhuang away, and Mama Chen took the belt given by Chu Qianhuang into the second room, and said the benefits of this belt with a smile.

"Madam, the eldest girl is a filial person, and she thinks of you all the time."

"The eldest girl is still young, I don't understand your hard work now, and when she grows a few years older in the future, she will understand ...... after more things."

Mama Chen wanted to say good things to Chu Qianhuang, after all, how could mother and daughter have an overnight feud, that is, if Chu Qianhuang was wrong, the Shen family could also teach it slowly.

Shen rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and didn't speak.

Seeing that Shen's face was tired, Mama Chen also took a break and persuaded, "Madam, do you want to rest first?" Mama Chen temporarily put her belt on the coffee table.

Shen Shi didn't hear it, stared at the belt on the coffee table in a daze, and was silent.

In a trance, Chu Qianhuang's voice sounded in her ears again: "That day, I was painting on the second floor of Bixiao Tower, but later, when I saw that the spring flowers near the rockery were very beautiful, I was interested, so I wanted to pick some back." ”

"I also dropped a purse on the side of the rockery, but fortunately my second sister picked it up. I embroidered the peony flower on that purse for a long time, but fortunately I didn't lose it. ”

Shen stared at the peony pattern embroidered on the belt, and his eyes darkened.

Shen suddenly remembered that it had rained in the early morning when Chu Yunmu fell off the rockery, and in the morning, the ground was dry, but there was mud near the rockery, Chu Qianhuang has always loved cleanliness, and it stands to reason that even if she thinks that the spring flowers are beautiful, she will let the maid pick them.

Mama Chen watched Shen lose her soul and was a little worried, and called several times before Shen came back to her senses.

Mama Chen felt that something was wrong with Shen, so she personally prepared a soothing tea for her, lit a soothing incense given by Chu Qianchen, and waited for Shen to rest.

Shen was so worried that he tossed and turned in the first half of the night, and it was not until midnight that he fell asleep in the soft smell of soothing incense.

This night, she slept until the rooster crowed.

When the Shen family got dressed and came to the hall from the inner room, Chu Qianchen also arrived and came over to greet the Shen family.

Chu Qianchen was specially dressed up today, her big red gown shimmered in the sun, she pulled a meniscus bun, her sideburns were like clouds, and only two colorful gold wire inlaid garnet beads were placed on her sideburns.

On the girl's delicate face, the smile is light, as if the trees are full of delicate flowers blooming, and between the anticipation, there is a bright and bright light.

Mama Chen looked at Chu Qianchen who was walking slowly, and was in a trance for a while, and suddenly, she overlapped the girl in front of her with another slender figure in her memory......

It was Shen who woke up Mama Chen: "You go and bring that set of ruby heads." ”

When Mama Chen took the jewelry box, Chu Qianchen also happened to walk up to Shen, Shen took her hand, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and personally put on a ruby bead flower for her, and matched it with a complete set of earrings and jewels.

"This set of head noodles still looks much better when Sister Chen'er wears, not only does it not dominate, but it is also the icing on the cake."

"Mama Chen, you go and get a pair of gold bracelets with eight treasures inlaid with them."

"Yes, the little girl's family is in full bloom, so she should be dressed up so beautifully!"

Today is the first time that Chu Qianchen has participated in such a formal occasion as the Wanshou Banquet, and it is also the first time that she has appeared as the future princess Chen, and the Shen family hopes that everything will be perfect, so that those who want to see the excitement can see how good Chu Qianchen is.

Shen adjusted the position of the bead flower for Chu Qianchen again, although she had already thought about it, sometimes there was still a trace of entanglement in her heart: even if King Chen was safe and sound, some people would say that Chu Qianchen had flown up the branch when she got this family business, but no one would know that she didn't need King Chen's mansion to add icing on the cake.

I could have chosen a more comfortable marriage for this child.

Shen Shi suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart, took Chu Qianchen's hand and said, "Let's go." ”

The Shen family took Chu Qianchen to Rongfutang first, and when they arrived, Chu Qianhuang was already there.

In the Rongfu Hall, there was a room of female dependents, and it was very lively.

Everyone's eyes flocked to the Shen family and Chu Qianchen, including Chu Qianhuang.

On weekdays, if there is nothing to do, the girls have always come to Rongfutang by themselves, so Chu Qianhuang came alone this morning.

Besides, the Shen family didn't see her yesterday, and Chu Qianhuang didn't want to go to the main courtyard to make herself bored, what she didn't expect was that Chu Qianchen actually came over with the Shen family.

The ladies in this room are all smart people, and they have also heard that Chu Qianhuang has caused the Shen family to be unhappy, so they can't help but show a somewhat meaningful expression at this moment, and secretly exchange glances.

When Shen and Chu Qianchen walked into the hall, the second lady Liu said casually with a smile: "It's that sister-in-law and Sister Chen look more like mother and daughter!" ”

Saying that, Liu also deliberately glanced at Chu Qianhuang, who was sitting diagonally opposite, and subconsciously stabbed Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen, and had the intention to provoke it.

Chu Qianchen looked at Liu lightly and didn't say a word, but Chu Qianling was excited and quickly pulled Liu's cuffs.

If the scar on her face wants to heal, she can only rely on the Ten Perfect Cream in Chu Qianchen's hand, and if the Ten Perfect Cream is not in hand, they can't offend Chu Qianchen.

Besides, anyway, Chu Qianchen is going to marry King Chen Chongxi, and it is absolutely impossible for her and the second prince to do so!

Just thinking of this, Chu Qianling felt in a happy mood.

Liu also thought of the Ten Perfections, and hurriedly looked away and said no more.

Mrs. Tai is also there, and this scene is also in her eyes.

To tell the truth, she sometimes feels this way, and she can't help but feel ridiculed in her heart: She, the eldest daughter-in-law, is simply tricked by Chu Qianchen, where is someone alienated from her own daughter and went to get close to a concubine. No matter how much Chu Qianchen pleases her, he doesn't crawl out of her belly, how can he have the same heart with her!

That's it.

Anyway, Chu Qianchen, a stirrger, is about to get married, and in the future, without her jumping up and down in front of the Shen family, the Shen family and the eldest son will always be able to repair the rift that once existed.

Mrs. Tai really wanted Chu Qianchen to marry out quickly at this moment, and her thoughts were also reflected in her actions, and she said lightly: "Since everyone is here, let's go." ”

So, everyone flocked around Mrs. Tai and went to the Yimen.

The only female dependents who can enter the palace for the banquet today are Mrs. Tai, Shen, and the sisters Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen, and the others can only look at them with envy.

The carriage drove out of the Hou Mansion in the middle of the hour, Mrs. Tai and Shen sat in a carriage, and Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang sat in the second carriage behind.

Chu Qianchen leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, looking like he didn't want to say much.

However, even if she closed her eyes, she could feel the gaze of the other person in the carriage falling on her, with a little inquiry, a little scrutiny.

The carriage vibrated slightly as the carriage flowed.

Chu Qianhuang's tactful and hesitant voice suddenly sounded: "Second sister, I also heard in the palace that the emperor gave you and His Royal Highness King Chen a marriage. ”

Chu Qianchen opened his eyes, met Chu Qianhuang's eyes like a secluded spring, and said "oh" casually.

Her expression was calm, which made Chu Qianhuang a little unpredictable.

"I always thought you would marry Cousin Zhao, but I didn't expect the emperor to ......" Chu Qianhuang sighed softly, as if he was embarrassed and sympathetic.

She calmed down, and then said: "After I returned home yesterday, I heard my grandmother tell me about my father sending you to Yanghezhuang before, but I didn't expect so many things to happen in the family in the past two days, second sister, you must be very uneasy, right?" ”

Chu Qianhuang said it euphemistically, in fact, Mrs. Tai counted Chu Qianchen ruthlessly, saying that she didn't think about her family, saying that she was making a fuss, saying that she was insatiable, and that she couldn't figure out how Chu Qianchen could become like this......

"Second sister, I know you have your troubles." Chu Qianhuang held Chu Qianchen's hand sympathetically, with a sincere expression.

She understands that the reason why Chu Qianchen had such a quarrel with the mansion and did not hesitate to offend her grandmother and father was because she couldn't let go of the second prince and wanted to quit the marriage.

Since childhood, Chu Qianchen has liked the second prince, and Chu Qianhuang has always seen this in his eyes.

"......" Chu Qianchen looked at Chu Qianhuang inexplicably.

"Cousin Zhao came to me and said he wanted to see you." Chu Qianhuang said to himself, "Don't worry, I will find a way to match you up, and everything will be on me......"

In fact, Gu Nanzhao wanted to go out of the palace to see Chu Qianchen in person, but Chu Guifei disagreed, and found someone to follow Gu Nanzhao all day, so Gu Nanzhao could only find Chu Qianhuang to help him pass the word.

Chu Qianhuang wanted to tell Chu Qianchen that the second prince had a lot of last resorts, and wanted to relieve her heart, but she didn't want to, but Chu Qianchen said loudly: "Stop!" ”

These two words were obviously not said to Chu Qianhuang.

Chu Qianhuang was stunned and looked at Chu Qianchen in confusion.

Chu Qianchen said with a smile: "Big sister, do you dare to tell your grandmother what you just said?" ”

Chu Qianhuang: "......"

Chu Qianhuang didn't expect Chu Qianchen to react like this at all, his eyes slowly widened, and he was stunned.

Outside, the driver of the carriage answered, and the carriage slowed down, and then stopped on the side of the road.

Chu Qianchen withdrew his hand and said casually: "Why don't I go and talk to my grandmother, just say, big sister, you instigated me to ruin my marriage?" ”

Chu Qianchen made a gesture to get up and get out of the car.

"Second sister!" Chu Qianhuang looked anxious, and without thinking about it, he reached out and grabbed one of Chu Qianchen's wrists, and held it tightly, for fear that Chu Qianchen would really go to Mrs. Tai to say.

Chu Qianhuang looked at Chu Qianchen in disbelief, his eyes were uncertain, as if he was thinking about whether Chu Qianchen was telling the truth.

The sisters looked at each other, Chu Qianchen smiled and was calm; Chu Qianhuang's face sank like water, and his eyes flickered.

There was silence in the carriage.

The noise outside seemed to come from near and far, and the atmosphere was slightly condensed.

The carriage in front noticed that Chu Qianchen and their carriage had stopped, and they also stopped.

Mama Wang got off the carriage on the order of Mrs. Tai, hurried to the outside of the carriage, and asked, "Big girl, second girl, but what's wrong?" ”

Chu Qianchen was about to say that Chu Qianhuang's complexion was even worse, so he took the lead and said, "Mama Wang, it's nothing." It's just that I ate a little too much in the morning, and as soon as I sat in the carriage, I felt a little uncomfortable. I'm fine. She casually prevaricated Mama Wang.

Mama Wang asked two more words with concern, and was sure that Chu Qianhuang was really fine, so she went back to the first carriage in front.

Chu Qianchen didn't stop her from talking, just looked at her with a smile.

Chu Qianhuang's heart became more and more uneasy, and she let go of Chu Qianchen's wrist, she always felt as if something was out of control, and even her breathing became not so smooth.

She could almost hear her own breathing and heartbeat distinctly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chu Qianhuang settled down and said to the coachman, "Keep on the road." ”

The coachman answered, and the whip sounded, and the carriage continued on, speeding up little by little.

Chu Qianchen suddenly leaned his face forward a few points, and came to Chu Qianhuang's side, the distance between the two was only an inch, and they could continue to feel each other's breathing.

Chu Qianchen hooked her lips slightly, and her shallow smile revealed a touch of unclear meaning, and there was a kind of calmness that everything was under her control.

She smiled and said, "You, do you think I don't know that you have 'ulterior motives'?" ”

Her black and white phoenix eyes stared at Chu Qianhuang, like a mirror, like a secluded pool, as if she could reflect all the gloom in this world, making them have nothing to hide.

The girl in front of her was as arrogant as a leopard, very different from the gentle and docile girl she used to be.

"......" Chu Qianhuang's heart sank by her sharp eyes, and her face showed a moment of panic, and she couldn't hide it.

Could it be that Chu Qianchen knows?!

Chu Qianhuang couldn't look directly at Chu Qianchen, so he couldn't help but retreat, and his body hit the coffee table next to him.

"Boom!" The tea cup on the coffee table was knocked and swayed, and the hot tea spilled out, splashing on the back of Chu Qianhuang's hand......

Chu Qianhuang let out a low cry in pain, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, but the back of his white jade hand had already been scalded red by the hot tea.

She lowered her eyelids and blew on the back of her reddened hand, her heart pounding and her mind fluttering.

------Off topic------

The second watch is at 12:30~

Qianchen: I like the way you can't get used to me and can't kill me!
