Chapter 278: Rare Stability
The four words landed, and Qiu'er suddenly raised her head: "What do you mean?" What's a little bit worse? β
Chu Nian smiled and said, "Your understanding is still a little short." β
The voice fell, she sat down opposite Qiu'er again, since the original "Chu Nian" voice had already aroused Qiu'er's nature, she would talk about what the original "Chu Nian" meant by such a "practice".
"You only understood the second half of what I was going to say, and what I wanted to say was in the first half."
Qiu'er's face was stunned, and she saw Chu Nian say softly: "Hibernation." β
"Hibernation?"
"Yes, hibernation." Chu Nian picked up the teacup and took a sip: "With your current strength, even if I teach you something, and in the end you enter the palace, you are just a mere ant that can be crushed to death by the Queen Mother, I have been entrusted by your mother, so naturally I can't watch you die." β
Seeing Qiu'er's suddenly sinking face, Chu Nian paused, and his eyebrows sneered: "Of course, you civilians only deserve to be used by us nobles, I won't let you die, because you are still a hole card that can be used for me, if you die, the Queen Mother will definitely find another one." What does the queen come to do to the emperor, if you follow her wishes into the palace, you will be played by the queen mother in applause, which is even more unfavorable to me, it is better to simply keep you by your side, and when you are really available, I will take you out and give the queen mother a painful blow. β
Hearing this, Qiu'er suddenly sneered: "In the end, it's just a matter of use, heh!" But as long as I can make that wicked old woman die without a place to be buried, I don't mind joining forces with you! β
Chu Nian's eyes were raised high, and Qiu'er inexplicably felt that a great pressure was coming from Chu Nian's direction, and this pressure made people almost unable to breathe, so they could only bow their heads and bow down, which made Qiu'er feel a trace of annoyance inexplicably, but she had to hold back this annoyance.
"Joining forces? You are not qualified to join forces, obediently wait for my news, if you let me know that you are reckless, just a chess piece, I can still give up. β
Chu Nian got up, her eyes narrowed slightly, Qiu'er only felt that the pressure exerted on her body was getting stronger and stronger, and after a while, she had to lower her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I know." β
Seeing this, Chu Nian turned around and left, leaving Qiu'er alone to sit in place without saying a word.
When she got out of the backyard, Auntie immediately followed: "Lady, why do you bother to say such heavy things to that child, after all, she is just an ignorant child......"
Chu Nian let out a long sigh, glanced at her lightly, and then said: "If I don't say such cruel words, how can she know that people's hearts are sinister, you know, if her vigilance that can be seen through at a glance is really put into the palace, I am afraid that it will not be enough to be killed by those concubines many times." β
"What about the human heart...... Far more sinister than you imagined......"
The water eyes gradually became ethereal, as if she remembered some old past, Chu Nian's face inexplicably showed a little sadness, and the aunt who had been eavesdropping on her conversation with Qiu'er in the back listened to the "story" that Chu Nian said word for word into her ears, and at this moment she naturally thought that Chu Nian was so sad because of the shadow of Xiao Chen's childhood family, so she comforted softly: "Lady, those are all over." β
Interrupted by Ah Wu's words, Chu Nian raised his head and withdrew from his thoughts, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I made up that story." β
"Lady?"
"That story I made up to scare Qiu'er, although Xiao Chen hated me when I was young, but because of my grandfather's relationship, she never dared to put the stumbling block on my face, and I was protected by Mei Xiang and Zhu's mother, so I was really naΓ―ve when I was a child, not dormant."
The corners of Grandma's mouth twitched: "I thought it was true...... The lady is really having such a hard time......"
Chu Nian smiled, although she couldn't tell whether she was Chu Nian or Su Nian recently, whether it was Chu Nian or Su Nian, she didn't have as hard time as she told Qiu'er when she was a child, Chu Nian was still rejected by Xiao Chen and the Chu family every once in a while, in the end, she was the lady of the Chu family, and where could she be bullied? Not to mention Su Nian, the Su family has always been harmonious, even the aunts who married back later by their father have always regarded themselves as slaves, and their mother is a kind person, where did they get so many vicious stories?
She said this to Qiu'er, just to find some common topics with Qiu'er.
"Murder and heart." Suddenly thinking of this, Chu Nian's face was a little heavier, she remembered who she had said such things to someone before, but she was too young and ignorant, and she loved to preach, so she had made up such a set of statements for Dark Rin.
At that time, Dark Rin, who was still Shui Yin, was bullied in every way in the General's Mansion, and when the little guy secretly put poison into his mother's cup, he was caught by Chu Nian, which set off Chu Nian's desire to speak at length, and he dragged Dark Rin to preach in the backyard for a whole afternoon.
Dark Rin, this child, it is useless to tell him something positive, until Chu Nian began to say some more shady conspiracy made up blindly - murder and punishment, if you poison her now, she may be directly poisoned, but the sins you suffered in the past will be in vain, it is better to let her live now, and when you grow up one day, you will repay the things she put on you a hundred times, besides, if you poison her to death now, she will pull you when she dies, so it is better to lose money.
When these words came out, Dark Rin really looked at Chu Nian quietly, Su Nian, who was still young and innocent at the time, naturally would not have thought that the child in front of him, who didn't know how much younger than himself, would take her nonsense words seriously, and even for a long time, these words almost became the child's motto, and also became the only label Su Nian had in the child's mind at that time.
Until now.
Seeing that Chu Nian fell into deep thought, the aunt shook her head helplessly, and glanced back at Qiu'er in the courtyard, Qiu'er was still sitting in the pavilion at this moment, her figure was motionless, and she seemed to be stiff into a stone statue.
With a long sigh, Ah Wu turned around and said a little helplessly: "I knew that saying those comforting words would stimulate her, so I might as well not do it too much." β
Chu Nian came back to his senses, glanced at Ah Wu slightly, and at the end, nodded matter-of-fact and said, "Well, that's true, next time you don't have to be so kind, and you want me to wipe your ass for you." β
"Mother, mother! How can such coarse words be uttered in public! β
Looking at Auntie's blushing face, Chu Nian couldn't help but laugh, turned his eyes to look at the lonely figure in the courtyard and said: "That kid can't listen to good words, she is hostile to all of us now, no matter what we say, she can only understand it as worse, it's better to just make us worse, and stimulate her not to do something stupid." β
Auntie thought for a while, and then nodded: "The lady is right, sometimes, foolishness is not good, but may harm the other party." β
Chu Nian smiled: "If you understand this truth, I don't have to bother to make up stories for you." β
"Lady!"
Chu Nian's eyes silently flashed with a pair of gray-white eyes, and at the end, she sighed softly, and at this point, she saw an ink-colored figure pacing in, and he still had a veil on his head, obviously not wanting to be recognized.
But Chu Nian still recognized the person in front of him at a glance, and the corners of his mouth suddenly couldn't help but rise: "How can Your Highness be free to come over today?" β
took off the veil and handed it to Auntie, Ming Xiu sat in the place where Auntie was originally sitting, and turned his eyes to the lonely figure outside the window.
Auntie smiled, walked away very sensibly, and quietly closed the door by the way, and the corner of Ming Xiu's mouth showed a smile: "This female doll is really very similar to the queen mother." β
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, and his gaze moved from Ming Xiu's face to Qiu'er's body outside the window, "It turns out that His Highness knows about it, and I don't have to hide it so hard." β
Hearing this, Ming Xiu frowned, but in an instant, he took a sip of the teacup she had used, and then said: "The Queen Mother has made such a big battle in the palace, if I don't know anymore, I really have no ability, so what are you going to do with this child now?" β
The pros and cons of this are naturally clear to Ming Xiu, but if he is replaced in Chu Nian's position, he will definitely choose to send this child to the palace. Although from his own point of view, it will be inexplicably uncomfortable.
Chu Nian seemed to have penetrated Ming Xiu's thoughts, she smiled slightly and said: "I don't want to send her to the palace, after all, she is still a child, even from the perspective of interests, I don't think this child can get any benefits for us, not to mention that the person she wants to deceive is the emperor, I can't bear it even more." β
After saying that, he saw that Ming Xiu's eyebrows and eyes gradually softened, he smiled lightly, and said, "Why don't you know that your father is willing to be deceived?" β
Chu Nian shook his head slightly: "Even if the emperor wants to see a fake queen mother appear in front of him again, this love will not be real, if it were me, I would definitely not be willing to love my person, looking at me in his eyes, but thinking of another person through me." β
She raised her head slightly, looked at those narrow eyes, and wanted to talk in her eyes, Ming Xiu opened her mouth and laughed.
"You're thinking too much, but you're right, when my father heard about this, he also regretted that even if a woman with a similar appearance to his mother stood in front of him, his father would never bear to kill a young girl like this."
Chu Nian frowned slightly: "The emperor already knows about this matter?" β
Ming Xiu nodded of course: "The Queen Mother's action is so big, but she wants to drive a wedge between us, so that I know that you want to use your father, so that all our previous efforts will be wasted." β
"But the Queen Mother still underestimated Her Highness, didn't she?" Chu Nian smiled, knowing that he believed in himself without hesitation, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling of pleasure in her heart.
Ming Xiu smiled and shook his head gently, but at the end, a pair of narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he picked up the tea cup that was sent to the thin lips and paused, and the thin lips opened lightly: "Nian'er, I'm sorry, I ......"
Chu Nianyan smiled and blocked the second half of his sentence: "Your Highness, don't say much, it's rare to be stable." β
