191 has changed
The thought was fleeting.
When Chu Qianhuang walked up to Chu Qianchen, the person had already regained his calm.
She smiled slightly, her smile was a little cramped, and she called softly, "Second sister." ”
Chu Qianchen didn't call her, but just said lightly, "Please sit", with a lukewarm attitude.
Chu Qianhuang sat elegantly on a circle chair at the bottom.
They were sisters, but they were as alienated as strangers.
There are a few ice basins in the corner of the main hall, the temperature is just right, and there are a few little maids holding fans and fanning them gently.
Chu Qianhuang clutched the handkerchief in his hand, looked at Chu Qianchen without saying anything, and said hesitantly: "I don't know Aunt Jiang is actually ...... Would do something like that. ”
She paused, her voice was slightly hoarse, and the corners of her eyes were red, "Second sister, I'm sorry for you." ”
"I didn't know that everything I had belonged to you......"
"Last night, I didn't sleep all night, I kept thinking about it over and over again, I think I should come to you, no matter if you want to beat or scold, I won't complain."
She did not shy away from looking directly into Chu Qianchen's eyes, the expression on her beautiful face was slightly entangled, and the emotions of guilt, apology, self-blame, and so on were intertwined.
Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang met their eyes fixedly.
She and Chu Qianhuang are not familiar with each other, but I don't know if it is preconceived, Chu Qianhuang did not speak like this in the past...... Well, delicate.
Amber on the side frowned slightly, always feeling that Chu Qianhuang's words seemed to be right at first glance, how could it make people sound so uncomfortable, what "to beat and scold", did their princess say what to do with her? !
Seeing that Chu Qianchen was silent, Chu Qianhuang's eyes flashed, he pinched the handkerchief again, and said again: "Second sister, you are doing well now, and it can be regarded as Jitailai." ”
"Hey, if it weren't for this mistake, maybe ......"
She didn't say any more, and all the unspoken words turned into a sigh, and she sighed happily, "It's okay." ”
The corners of Amber's eyes twitched, and Princess Fang asked her in the main courtyard if Chu Qianhuang had changed, and she said she didn't know at that time.
But now, Amber has the answer.
That's right, Chu Qianhuang has indeed changed!!
Look at what she said, whether this series of words is apologizing, selling miserably, or asking for credit, it is simply yin and yang, insinuating!
What Chu Qianhuang means is that if it weren't for the exchange between them, this marriage would not be the turn of the princess, and it would be Chu Qianhuang who will become Princess Chen now?!
So, the princess is doing well in King Chen's Mansion now, thanks to her Chu Qianhuang?!
The more Amber thought about it, the more angry she became, the green tendons on her forehead trembled, and her chest rose and fell slightly.
How shameless it would take for such a shameless person to say such a thing!
Chu Qianhuang was still looking at Chu Qianchen.
She didn't envy Chu Qianchen, nor was she jealous of her, and she didn't want to marry King Chen, a person who was destined to die soon, she just wanted Chu Qianchen to feel that she owed her.
Even Amber could hear it, how could Chu Qianchen not understand Chu Qianhuang's extra-verbal voice, and hooked his lips.
Interesting.
Chu Qianchen has lived for two lives, and she has never encountered any thrilling events in her previous life, and a few words like Chu Qianhuang's yin and yang weirdness will not shake her at all.
Chu Qianchen was as immobile as a mountain, and his black and white eyes reflected Chu Qianhuang's face like a mirror.
"That's right." Chu Qianchen said calmly, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
She still didn't call Chu Qianhuang, whether it was a name or a title.
Chu Qianhuang felt that the other party's eyes seemed to be able to see through his family's heart, and his heart couldn't help but go up.
She thought about it, and said around the bend: "I heard Her Royal Highness the Third Princess say today that Her Royal Highness King Chen is going to Nanhao. ”
"Second sister, you live alone in such a big palace, do you want to go to your grandmother's house to live for a while?"
Chu Qianchen was really too lazy to go around in circles with her, and directly issued an eviction order: "Since you know, you should know that I am busy." ”
"If you don't have anything to do, I won't entertain you."
Chu Qianchen picked up the teacup and made a posture of serving tea to the guests, and he didn't want to go around here with Chu Qianhuang at all.
Since she came out of the palace to find the door, she also knew that she would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and she would ask for something.
Amber also complained about her master, and immediately took two steps forward and stretched out her hand to make a gesture.
Chu Qianhuang: "......"
Chu Qianhuang almost couldn't maintain the grace on his face, and the corners of his lips were as tight as iron, but he finally endured it.
"Second sister, I visited today, in fact, there is another reason," Chu Qianhuang bit his lower lip hesitantly, and finally began to get to the point, "It was the third princess who asked me to come ......"
Amber retreated, pulled the corners of her mouth mockingly, and then thought of what Chu Qianhuang said at the beginning, only to feel that she was simply beating herself in the mouth.
Chu Qianhuang continued: "Second sister, you also know that the imperial court intends to marry Nan Hao, but Nan Hao is thousands of miles away, and the third princess really doesn't want to marry far away, so she has been worrying about it these days." ”
"She heard this morning that His Royal Highness King Chen is responsible for sending the Great Prince of Wuhe back to Hao, so she wants to inquire about the news."
"It's inconvenient for her to leave the palace, because my second sister and I are sisters, so she asked me to come privately."
Chu Qianhuang said sincerely, and seemed to be very sympathetic to what happened to the third princess and Qin Nanhao.
Although Chu Qianhuang's words sounded reasonable, Chu Qianchen's intuition told her-
That's not true.
If it is said that it is a helpless princess who comes to Tuo Chu Qianhuang today, maybe Chu Qianchen will believe it.
It's just that Chu Qianhuang is using the third princess as an excuse, the biological mother of the third princess is the dignified queen, her half-brother is the crown prince, she is the only princess of the emperor, whether it is to inquire with the queen or the prince, it is better than quietly ordering a companion to come to him to inquire about the news.
"I see." Chu Qianchen bowed, put down the teacup, and looked at it as if he believed it.
Chu Qianhuang looked at Chu Qianchen eagerly, with a look of anticipation.
Chu Qianchen said slowly: "The prince said ......"
She had only said three words before she paused deliberately, wiping the corners of her mouth with her handkerchief.
Chu Qianhuang was a little nervous, his eyes were unblinking, and his upper body leaned forward slightly.
Chu Qianchen observed Chu Qianhuang's every move, from the other party's demeanor and those subtle movements, she could be sure that this was not to help the emotions that a "friend" should have, Chu Qianhuang asked these questions nine times out of ten for herself.
It's even more interesting. Chu Qianchen thought to himself, his mind moved quickly, thinking about Chu Qianhuang's strange situation in the past few months.
Shen repeatedly asked Chu Qianhuang to give up the position of the princess's companion, but Chu Qianhuang disappointed Shen again and again, and refused to give up the princess's companion, and even went a little crazy, which made Shen more and more disappointed in her.
Previously, although Chu Qianchen felt that Chu Qianhuang's performance was a little strange, he didn't think much about it, or rather, he didn't particularly care about it.
Until this moment, Chu Qianchen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a thought came to his mind:
Could it be that Chu Qianhuang is not for the title of princess companion, but for this marriage?
Not impossible.
On the day of the Longevity Festival, Chu Qianchen also vaguely felt that Chu Qianhuang seemed to care a little about Wuhajialou.
Thinking so, Chu Qianchen's face did not show anything, and continued: "The prince said that the marriage between the two countries has not yet been decided......
When Chu Qianhuang heard this, the nails of his thumb habitually pinched the abdomen of his fingers, and his knuckles were tightened.
Chu Qianchen noticed that when he said "undecided", Chu Qianhuang's reaction was great, and he secretly said in his heart.
It seems that she guessed in the right direction.
Chu Qianchen was still silent, and sighed with embarrassment: "It's normal for the third princess not to want to marry far away, how good the scenery is in Ren Nanhao, and how many women will want to marry far away to a foreign country." The two countries are married, but they have to sacrifice a small weak woman. ”
Chu Qianhuang replied twice, a little absent-mindedly, and asked, "His Royal Highness King Chen didn't say anything else?" ”
Chu Qianchen felt more and more interesting in her heart, Chu Qianhuang came for the marriage, but she didn't seem to pay so much attention to the "marriage itself", she was more concerned about ......
Thinking of the errand that the prince had just received, Chu Qianchen was moved again, and guessed some, so he continued to probe and said: "The prince also said that no matter whether the marriage is successful or not, the third prince mainly wants to go to Nanhao to relax......
Chu Qianhuang's eyes instantly widened slightly, as if he wanted to ask, but he bit his lip again and endured it.
Chu Qianchen also confirmed what she wanted to confirm, so she withdrew her gaze.
It turns out that this is the case, what Chu Qianhuang really cares about is not the marriage between the two countries, but whether the third princess can go to Nanhao, or whether she can follow the third princess to Nanhao.
Then, this matter becomes more and more confusing.
Interesting.
Chu Qianchen sorted out this matter little by little in his heart.
At the end of March, Chu Qianhuang entered the palace to be a princess companion, at that time, Wuhe Jialou had not yet arrived in Daqi, and the marriage between the two countries had not been mentioned for many years, so how did Chu Qianhuang know that after Wuhajialou arrived in Beijing in May, Daqi would re-mention the marriage?
Moreover, if she remembers correctly, Chu Qianhuang has never left the capital for more than ten years, why does she want to go to Nanhao so much?!
Chu Qianhuang really had too many incomprehensible mysteries on his body, which Chu Qianchen couldn't figure out for a while.
She is not familiar with Chu Qianhuang, but since Shen and Chu Yunmu both said that Chu Qianhuang has changed, it is estimated that Chu Qianhuang's change is not small.
This foggy feeling not only made Chu Qianchen feel frustrated, but made her more and more excited.
Chu Qianchen smiled gently, "Don't worry, the prince will come back in a while, and I'll ask again." ”
She smiled lightly, looking like a confidant sister.
"Then the second sister will bother." Chu Qianhuang said with a smile, she could feel that Chu Qianchen's attitude towards her was better than before, but she only felt that Chu Qianchen might be giving grace to the third princess.
Or......
She looked at Chu Qianchen's leisurely expression, and her heart was like a mirror: Chu Qianchen has been a concubine for more than ten years, and she must have a grudge against herself in her heart, and now that the identities of the two have been reversed, she once flew on the branch and became a phoenix, I am afraid that she also wants to show it in front of herself.
I want to see myself begging her, and I want to show a condescending posture in front of me.
This man has been like this throughout the ages, and once he has his will, he will be rampant.
Chu Qianhuang felt a little transparent in his heart.
Chu Qianchen raised his hand and made a gesture, and ordered: "Amber, don't serve tea to the guests yet!" By the way, let's use the lotus tea that the crown princess just sent this morning. ”
Listening to Chu Qianchen keep saying that the flower tea appreciated by the crown princess was on his lips, clearly showing off, Chu Qianhuang pursed his lips in his heart mockingly, only to feel that it was true.
What kind of tacit understanding Amber and Chu Qianchen was, it was immediately clear, and he was blessed: "Princess, it's the slave maid who is rude, and the slave maid will go to serve tea to the eldest girl." ”
Amber quickly personally brought the tea brewed up, brought it to Chu Qianhuang's hand, and said respectfully, "The eldest girl drinks tea." ”
The freshly brewed tea is steaming white, and a refreshing fragrance of tea and lotus flowers spreads with the heat.
Amber's face was full of smiles, and Chu Qianhuang only felt that his servants were following his master, and his expression was indifferent.
She picked up the teacup elegantly, sniffed the tea first, and was about to politely praise the lotus tea, but the next moment, she frowned slightly and sighed: "It's a pity." ”
She put down the teacup that had just been brought to her lips again, and explained with a smile to Chu Qianchen's puzzled eyes in front of her: "Second sister, I can't eat cinnamon since I was a child, I can't get it at all, my skin will have a red rash." It's okay, but it takes two or three days for the rash to fade. ”
A little cinnamon was added to this lotus tea, and Chu Qianhuang smelled it at once, so he didn't dare to drink it.
Chu Qianchen covered his mouth in surprise and snorted, "It's all mine, I forgot about it for a while." ”
She hurriedly instructed Amber to change a cup of Biluochun, and sighed apologetically: "Hey, this flower tea was sent by the crown princess, I think it's very appetizing when I drink it, and I think you and your mother should like it too." ”
"Hey, our sisters were still too rusty before......"
Chu Qianchen looked as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't care about his previous suspicions, and he didn't plan to remember Aunt Jiang's mistake on Chu Qianhuang.
However, Chu Qianhuang felt that she was duplicitous at all, but now that she has gained momentum, she wants to play a role in "sisterly love" and try to "take care" of herself.
Chu Qianchen is indeed duplicitous, what she thinks in her heart is that Chu Qianhuang is really wrong.
Chu Qianhuang is a child raised by the Shen family, and the Shen family, the Duchess of Mu Guo, and many people in Beijing with some background, all have a habit of being a housewife, that is, they never let outsiders know what they like and what they don't like.
This is the rule raised by the noble family, even if these ladies know that they can't eat what they have at hand, they will put it to their lips and pretend, instead of directly reprimanding it.
Chu Qianhuang is a child raised by the Shen family himself, and the rules have been used since childhood, watching, and listening, just like carved into the bone marrow, not to forget if you want to.
Chu Qianhuang knew that she couldn't eat cinnamon, yes, but the way she coped with it was too petty.
When Amber sent Biluo Spring to Chu Qianhuang again, Chu Qianchen said again: "Amber, you let people go to the front to see if the prince has returned." ”
Amber was ordered to go out, and only the two sisters Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang and the other two maids were left in the house.
The sisters drink tea separately, one drinks lotus tea, and the other drinks Biluochun, all of which are elegant and picturesque, pleasing to the eye.
This time, Chu Qianhuang took a sip of tea and praised: "This Biluochun is this year's tribute, I also drank it at the third princess, and today I really stained my sister's light." ”
Chu Qianchen smiled: "Indeed." No wonder Brother Mu often says that your tongue is spiritual, anything is good, you can eat it in one bite. ”
Chu Qianhuang also smiled, "Brother Mu'er's mouth is only tricky, he only eats good things." ”
The two sisters talked with a smile and gossip, and no one mentioned Aunt Jiang and the Shen family, as well as their transfer.
At first glance, the atmosphere in the main hall was very harmonious, but the smiles of the two were not as good as their eyes.
When the tea was halfway drunk, Amber returned to the main hall and said, "Princess, the slave maid asked people to go to the outer study to ask, and the storm said that the prince will return home very late today." ”
Chu Qianchen raised his eyes and glanced at the dim sky outside the house, and said helplessly: "It's all early, it's not early, you have to go back to the palace, I'm afraid the palace door will be closed if it's too late." ”
Chu Qianhuang: "......"
She is King Chen's sister-in-law, and she is not homeless in Beijing, so she naturally wants to avoid suspicion, so it is impossible to live in King Chen's mansion!
To put it mildly, if she doesn't leave until dark, she doesn't know how many people in Beijing will have to arrange themselves behind their backs, and I don't know how ugly the words will be.
Chu Qianhuang could only get up, thinking about whether to talk to the third princess tomorrow and let her go out of the palace again.
"Second sister, then I'll leave first."
Chu Qianhuang smiled, and wanted to remind Chu Qianchen again, but Chu Qianchen took the lead: "How is Aunt Jiang?" ”
Chu Qianhuang's smile stiffened slightly.
She bit her lower lip, twisted her delicate brows, showed a little embarrassment in her expression, and said in a low voice: "I asked for leave to go back to the Hou Mansion yesterday, and I returned in a hurry, so I didn't ......stay long."
Meaning, she doesn't know what happened to Aunt Jiang.
"It's really worrying." Chu Qianchen lowered her eyes slightly, looking gentle and supple, which reminded Chu Qianhuang of the hibiscus flower she picked in the yard in the morning.
Beauty is beauty.
Chu Qianhuang stared at Chu Qianchen for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, not sure what she meant by this.
What she could be sure of was that Chu Qianchen didn't have any sisterly affection for her.
Since she entered the palace, Chu Qianchen has never called her a big sister, she just treats her as a guest.
However, Chu Qianchen shouldn't be like this to Aunt Jiang.
She still remembered that in that dream, Chu Qianchen had a deep admiration for Aunt Jiang, even if later, her true life story was revealed, Aunt Jiang did not receive any major punishment because of her kindness to Chu Qianchen.
Later, Aunt Jiang was only sent to Zhuangzi, she was still an aunt, and her use did not change or anything, Chu Lingxiao and Chu Yunyi, father and son, could also visit him in Zhuangzi from time to time.
And now, Chu Qianchen doesn't seem to care so much about Aunt Jiang, yesterday Duchess Mu Guo proposed to send Aunt Jiang to the military department as a Huanyi Niang, and she didn't intercede for Aunt Jiang.
Chu Qianhuang carefully recalled the plot in the dream.
This is one.
Even if there is her "butterfly", the emotions between people should not change.
The Shen family abandoned her like in a dream, so on the other hand, shouldn't Chu Qianchen never abandon Aunt Jiang?!
After all, Chu Qianchen was raised by Aunt Jiang since he was a child.
Could it be because Duchess Mu and the Shen family were both yesterday?
Or maybe it's because Chu Lingxiao is not there...... How much did Chu Qianchen temporarily record his dissatisfaction with Chu Lingxiao on Aunt Jiang?
Chu Qianhuang thought as he walked out, feeling that it was not impossible.
Amber personally sent Chu Qianhuang out.
Chu Qianhuang just left with his front foot, and Chu Qianchen also left the main hall with his back foot and went to the outer courtyard.
Of course, she was going to go to the prince.
Gu Jue was already in the palace, and he never went out at all today, so Chu Qianchen just asked Amber to fool Chu Qianhuang.
Yesterday's events seemed to have an explanation, but Chu Qianchen couldn't let go of it completely, and even when she dreamed back at midnight last night, she dreamed of Aunt Jiang's malicious smile.
Aunt Jiang's smile seemed to be engraved in Chu Qianchen's heart, making her feel that something was wrong.
The prince told her last night to follow her instincts.
Sometimes, the instinct is that she has noticed something wrong, but she hasn't put the clues together yet.
Chu Qianchen thought so, she was sure that she was not dazzled, since Chu Qianhuang sent it to the door by herself, it would be good to simply let Chu Qianhuang test Aunt Jiang, it would save her a lot of trouble.
However, before she stepped out of the inner door, she was stopped by Mama Cai, who was hurrying over.
"Princess," Mama Cai bowed respectfully, and took out an envelope from her sleeve, "This is what Jishitang sent to the next door just now." ”
Since Chu Qianchen got married, she asked Amber to tell Ji Shitang that if there was anything important, she could ask Dr. Liu to hand over the note to the mansion next door.
Chu Qianchen took the envelope and took out a note from it, and only a few words were written on it, which was in the handwriting of Dr. Liu, saying that Ji Shitang had encountered an incurable illness and wanted the little doctor to go over and take a look.
Chu Qianchen put away the note and temporarily reversed the direction, "Mama Cai, you go and tell the prince, I'm going to go out." ”
Chu Qianchen returned to the main courtyard first, changed into a blue dress, changed her hairstyle to the previous double-ring bun, covered it with a veil, changed her skin color, and became the dress of a miracle doctor.
Jiang Yuan was not at ease, so she also followed, she deliberately dressed up in men's clothes and worked as a coachman for Chu Qianchen.
There was a commotion inside and outside Jishitang, and there were many people bustling outside, pointing at the medical hall.
I don't know who shouted "The divine doctor is here", and everyone automatically gave way to Chu Qianchen's master and servant.
"Little Divine Doctor, you're here."
Doctor Liu greeted him with an anxious face, the robe on his body was stained with some blood, and he quickly led Chu Qianchen to the back hall.
In the back hall, there was a strong smell of blood.
A thin woman in Tsing Yi in her thirties was lying dying on a couch.
In her right eye was a finger-thick wooden root, and blood was gurgling out of her eye, staining most of her face red, making her appear to be a blur of flesh and blood.
