119 Cause and Effect(1/2)
Chu Qianchen looked at Chu Qianhuang, his lips curled up, and he stepped back until he clicked.
Chu Qianhuang blew on the back of her hand a few times, then quickly calmed down, lowered her eyes and said softly, "Second sister, you misunderstood me."
She said only this and stopped saying more.
After that, the carriage was silent and neither of the sisters spoke again.
Chu Qianchen poured herself a cup of tea and drank the tea comfortably, as if Chu Qianhuang was not here at all. Her eyes didn't even look at Chu Qianhuang anymore.
However, Chu Qianhuang could not control herself and looked at Chu Qianchen from time to time, with a complicated look.
Chu Qianchen in his dream is definitely not like this...
Chu Qianhuang's eyes flashed, and her thumb nails subconsciously tried to pick her fingertips.
The carriage arrived at the palace gate in silence.
There had been a long queue at the gate of the palace, and the carriages from each mansion occupied the entire Chang'an Street and slowly moved forward like a turtle climbing.
If it is a carriage of a prince or noble, a close minister of the emperor, you can still go to the line and go to the palace first. The Yongding Marquis' Mansion is really not among the nobles in the capital, so you can only queue up in a regular manner and move slowly with the carriages in front.
It was not until half an hour later that the carriage from the Marquis's mansion arrived in front of the palace gate.
The Grandma, Shen, Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen got off the carriage one after another.
Shen also knew that the sisters' carriage had stopped once just now, and Madam Wang also reported to Chu Qianhuang's carriage fainting, but she did not believe it all, and looked at the sisters with scrutiny.
Chu Qianchen smiled slightly and looked back at Shen with a generous look, but Chu Qianhuang's eyes wandered away from her.
Shen: “…”
Shen's eyes flashed slightly, and his eyes stopped on Chu Qianhuang's face for a moment, but said to the lady: "Mother, let's go."
The lady didn't pay any attention. She was thinking about today's birthday party. She gave a few words to her granddaughters, and then she followed a little servant into the palace.
Under the guidance of the little servant, the four of them went to Fengluan Palace to pay homage to the queen.
There were already seven or eight female relatives sitting in Fengluan Palace, all of whom were smiling and talking around the queen on the Fengluan Palace.
When the four members of the Chu family entered the hall, the eyes of the female family all looked at them, and most of them fell on Chu Qianchen, either exploring, looking at, or stunning.
Everyone was somewhat curious about this future Princess Chen.
Not to mention anything else, the appearance of this second girl Chu is the best among the noble girls in the capital.
The four members of the Chu family quickly walked to the queen and bowed their knees to the queen together: "See the Queen!"
The queen was wearing a gorgeous zoo and a nine-zoo crown on her head. She sat gracefully on the golden phoenix throne with a graceful and dignified appearance, with the unique high above the lord of the harem.
"No gift." The queen smiled slightly, raised her hand to signal them to avoid gifts, and then looked at Chu Qianchen.
The queen knew the Grandma, Shen and Chu Qianhuang, so she could naturally guess who Chu Qianchen was, and her smile was friendly.
"Is this the second girl in your mansion?" the queen asked with a smile.
The lady quickly responded "Yes", and the queen waved to Chu Qianchen, "Come here to take a look."
Chu Qianchen took two steps forward and walked to the queen.
The queen had already received the emperor's instructions and was very kind to Chu Qianchen. She personally took off the white jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on Chu Qianchen's hand as a gift for her meeting.
"My daughter thanked the Queen." Chu Qianchen bowed in a regular manner, always half-hunched his head, "dare not" looking directly at the Queen.
"It's all a family, there's no need to be polite." The queen took Chu Qianchen's hand affectionately, looked at her up and down, and asked her with a smile how old she was this year and what she likes to do, and the whole article was full of polite scenes.
Chu Qianchen always lowered his little face. The queen asked, and she answered in a concise and clear manner, without saying a word.
Her "not even dares to say more" look in the queen's eyes, and it becomes cowardly and weakness.
The queen secretly thought to herself: This second girl Chu is just as the emperor said, she is a concubine who cannot be promoted. Compared with King Chen, she can be said to be one heaven and one earth.
Even though he looked down on Chu Qianchen in his heart, the queen kept smiling, as if she attached great importance to this future sister-in-law, and taught her earnestly: "Miss Chu, you are young, and after you marry into Prince Chen's Mansion, you have anything to know. You can go to the palace to find this palace at any time."
The queen raised her hand and made a gesture. An old lady with a disc-faced face received 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 winning over Chu Qianchen, which was naturally the emperor's intention.
Although the emperor did not explain it, he was as smart as the queen and vaguely understood the emperor's meaning. The emperor gave the marriage to King Chen, so he was afraid that he would take him to King Chen's mansion to get someone.
Chu Qianchen is just a concubine daughter, and she is a dignified queen. As long as she shows her a little good deeds to her, she will be grateful. If anything happens in the future, she can also go to the palace to inform her.
The lady was shocked and never expected that the queen would look at Chu Qianchen so differently. There were not many people in the capital who could have such tokens, at least first-rank or above, such as the princess, married princesses, dukes' wife or prime minister's wife, etc.
The lady quickly thanked Chu Qianchen for her: "Thank you for your kindness."
Chu Qianchen retreated to the side of the Grandma and Shen, and bowed his knees again.
At this moment, a palace maid came forward with a smile and replied: "Empress, the Third Princess is coming 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 outfit and a double snail bun walked quickly towards this side. The other women also saw the girl, and several of them exchanged subtle eyes with each other.
The third princess soon entered the hall and saluted the queen first. Then, she looked at Chu Qianchen with a smile, with a innocent smile, and said affectionately: "Sister, why don't you come to see me?"
The third princess seemed to have not seen Chu Qianhuang at all. The queen and the women around her were stunned.
Didn’t this second lady Chu only entered the palace once?
Why does the third princess seem to be very familiar with her?
The third princess took one of Chu Qianchen's arm affectionately, held her cutely, and said to the queen: "Mother, I want to change my companion to read."
Chu Qianhuang's face changed slightly, and she subconsciously pinched the veil. After a while, she calmed down.
The queen was even more surprised and glanced at Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang quietly, and a deep and strange light flashed through her eyes.
"Anle, don't you like Qianhuang very much?" When the queen looked at the third princess Anle, her expression became gentle and loving.
"I like Qianhuang," An Le Canran smiled and nodded, "But I also want to play with my sister, she is so beautiful!"
Anle was thinking about Chu Qianchen's heroic figure when he was shooting arrows in Yunting Pavilion that day, with bright eyes, and he felt that Chu Qianchen was more beautiful than the women she had seen!
The queen was stunned, thinking that her daughter had always liked beautiful things, beautiful flowers, beautiful peacocks, beautiful yellow orioles... and beautiful people.
It’s normal for a daughter to like Chu Qianchen… All the girls in the Chu family are scheming and are so good at coaxing people!
The other female relatives in the hall naturally heard Anle's words. A princess in her forties, wearing pearls and nine Zhaiguan on her head smiled and said, "Empress, the third princess is right, Miss Chu is really good-looking. Even I think she looks good when I look at it. She is even more handsome and handsome with King Chen."
The women exchanged their eyes with a smile.
This second girl Chu is so beautiful!
Even if she is a fool, she is pleasing to the eye even if she stands there.
The other princes and the wife of the Duke of the Kingdom also agreed, mostly in praise.
Princess Changning looked at the pot next to her from time to time, and suddenly said with a smile: "Anle, there is a martial arts test in the palace today. I remember that Master Chu will also participate. Miss Chu must also want to see Brother Ling, right?"
Princess Shun glanced at her daughter quickly. No matter how good her daughter is, she naturally heard that her daughter was impatient with accompanying them here, so she wanted to instigate the third princess to go to the martial arts fair to watch the martial arts test together.
Anle's eyes became brighter, and she forgot about reading for a while. She grabbed Chu Qianchen's arm and said it was wind or rain and said to the queen: "Mother, my sister and I went to see the martial arts test."
The queen also saw Princess Changning's thoughts, but such trivial matters are harmless, so she followed the peace and said with a smile: "I know that you young people can't sit still, so you can go and play by yourself, and you don't have to be with you here."
After the queen said this, all the noble girls were happy. They were also restrained here and wanted to go out to see the martial arts test.
So, the noble ladies present stood up and left, surrounded the third princess Anle and Chu Qianchen in the front and walked out.
Anle held Chu Qianchen's arm and refused to let go. While walking, she also leaned into her ear and whispered: "Sister, the fragrance on your body is so nice, fragrant, sweet..."
As she said that, the tip of her nose moved, almost touching Chu Qianchen's body, like a clingy little puppy.
"This is a sachet I made myself." Chu Qianchen said with a smile.
Because the ends of Anle's hair touched her neck, she felt a little itchy and the smile on her face became deeper.
She didn't like the emperor, but she didn't hate this innocent third princess, and she even felt a little sympathetic. In her previous life, the third princess finally married Nan Hao, who was thousands of miles away, and married Nan Hao. She never set foot on her hometown again in her lifetime.
The group of people spoke in groups of three and walked towards the direction of Mingde Hall.
Chu Qianhuang behind looked at Chu Qianchen's back, slowed down unconsciously, and then slowed down, and pulled at least seven or eight feet away from Chu Qianchen, feeling restless.
Just now, scenes of the carriage repeatedly appeared in her mind, over and over again...
Until this moment, Chu Qianhuang was still frightened. When she thought about it, her heart was thumping faster, and blood in her body seemed to flow into her heart...
There are all emotions such as surprise, shock, suspicion, anxiety, etc.
Chu Qianhuang remembered her dream again, and the fragments of the dream flashed in a mess.
She was sure that Chu Qianchen in her dream had no such personality. She was a girl who never said "no" to others, and she was timid and timid.
Fate is unfair.
Some are born honorable, while others are humble until death.
A girl like Chu Qianchen who is useless is honored for her life in her dream, but herself in her dream has fallen into a situation of having nothing.
Dreams and reality suddenly intertwined.
Chu Qianhuang had to admit that the so-called "fate" seems to have a magical magic. Some things are different, but they will still embark on a path that is almost the same as the same destination...
To be continued...
