157 Relative
Madam Xu was stunned and quickly followed. Her steps were too fast, and she became more impatient and had lost her manners.
Lan Ruoru pulled the corner of her mouth without looking at her, her figure was straight and she didn't look sideways, just pretending that she didn't see it.
The three of them walked east from Shouning Palace and passed many magnificent pavilions and towers.
The palace in midsummer is like a huge stove, and even the air is so hot that it seems to be about to burn.
As Madam Xu walked, she looked at Chu Qianchen, and wanted to give her a warning first, and asked deliberately: "Is this the third time the princess has entered the palace?"
Chu Qianchen simply said "um".
Madam Xu raised her chin and thought that the concubine daughter was the concubine daughter. She and Chu Qianhuang were both girls in the Marquis' Mansion. However, Chu Qianhuang often went to and from the palace since she was a child. Now she is the companion of the third princess. She can be regarded as a name among the noble girls in the capital. If Chu Qianchen had not had an unusual horoscope, he would probably not even have the chance to see Feng Yan in this life!
Madam Xu smiled contemptuously and then said, "Princess, don't be afraid. The Empress is generous. Even if you have any shortcomings, the Empress will not care about you."
"As long as the princess is respectful, the queen can understand people's hearts with keen eyes."
“…”
Madam Xu said something naggingly, but she was tolerant, but she said everything about Empress Yang and demoted Chu Qianchen. She said that Chu Qianchen did not understand the rules and etiquette.
Chu Qianchen went in and out of his left ear, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, and he didn't say a word again.
Lan Ruo knew the best about what Madam Xu was playing. In the past, the queen used similar tricks to treating concubines who had just won the favor.
It’s a pity that the queen has spent her time in vain this time. She is the princess who is the best in all kinds of training. Her methods are much more skillful than the queen. The queen’s slightest method is not as good as the queen.
Thinking about the experience she had just arrived at the Yongding Marquis Mansion, Lan Ruo's eyes changed brightly and secretly. Perhaps only Madam Yan could understand her mood.
Why!
Lan Ruo didn't know how many times she sighed in her heart. When she came to her senses, she found that they had arrived at Fengluan Palace.
A little servant hurried in and reported to the queen, then came out and said with a smile: "Princess, please, the queen and several concubines, the princess is waiting for you inside."
Chu Qianchen just nodded slightly and followed Madam Xu into the western room calmly.
In the western room, there were women sitting in the room, with fragrant clothes and beautiful hair, and jewels.
Half of them were the royal family members who Chu Qianchen had just met in Taimiao. The remaining half were the ancestors of various royal palaces, such as Prince Li, Prince Shun, etc., and the other was the female family members of noble and prominent families.
When Chu Qianchen came, all his eyes were turned to her, some were looking at her, some were pity, some were ridiculed, some were indifferent...
The queen sitting on the phoenix throne looked down at Chu Qianchen with her bright red lips slightly pursed, and her expression was a bit cold.
The emperor lost face in Taimiao today. As soon as King Chen left, the emperor also ordered the carriage to return to the palace. As soon as he got on the dragon chariot, he was furious, and the queen was also angry.
The queen also felt that King Chen was too arrogant. King Chen was the king and the minister was the minister. To put it bluntly, King Chen was just relying on the favor of the late emperor. Moreover, Chi Di had just claimed to be defeated, so he was so arrogant and dared to hold troops and respect himself. The following offenders were invaded.
It’s time for King Chen to learn some lessons.
The emperor specially announced Chu Qianchen to come over, just because he was determined to beat Chu Qianchen in public and used this to demonstrate to King Chen.
The queen stared at Chu Qianchen who was walking towards her, her eyes getting darker.
The young bride, the young Ai, had a face that was so stunning. Her steps were neither fast nor slow, and she smiled lightly, and she ignored the scorching gazes around her.
The queen suddenly felt that the bright and elegant little girl in front of her seemed to be different from the cowardly concubine in her memory, and subconsciously held the handrail of the phoenix throne.
A palace maid in blue put a cushion with ease and quick eyes and hands.
The meaning of placing this cushion there is very obvious, and it is to make Chu Qianchen kneel down to the queen.
The class of the Great Qi Dynasty has always been clearly distinguished and values etiquette, but it has not reached the point where the ministers and women are required to kneel down at any time. The big ceremony of kneeling often has a specific occasion, or it may accidentally make the emperor and empress angry.
The foreign women present and the noble ladies of the royal family were mostly smart people, and they could see the queen's intention.
Husband and wife are one, one prosper and one loses together.
Several princesses quietly exchanged their eyes and recalled the duel between the emperor and the King Chen just in Taimiao.
Obviously, the queen is trying to suppress Chu Qianchen. So, what will this Princess Chen respond?!
In Fengluan Palace, there was silent. Some people pretended to drink tea, some wiped the corners of their mouths with a veil, and some stroked the beads on their temples... Everyone was distracted and paid attention to Chu Qianchen and was waiting quietly.
Soon, Chu Qianchen's pace stopped and stopped in front of the cushion.
Madam Xu walked past Chu Qianchen and walked to the queen, deliberately reporting: "Empress, I have brought Princess Chen."
Chu Qianchen bent his knees slightly, and everyone felt that it was indeed the case, thinking that she would kneel down.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qianchen just casually looked at the queen and said, "See the Queen."
As the last word fell, she stood up straight.
“…”
“…”
“…”
The queen's face turned pale, and the people in the hall were stunned. The women who were drinking tea almost choked by the tea in their mouths, and their facial features were slightly distorted.
Perhaps only Lan Ruo was not surprised.
At this moment, Lan Ruo hoped that everyone would forget her existence and stood behind Chu Qianchen like a shadow.
Chu Qianchen didn't care what everyone thought and looked around calmly.
When he saw that there was an empty seat between Princess Li and Princess Shun, Chu Qianchen naturally felt that this seat should be for her, so he walked over and sat down gracefully.
In the hall, there was a silence, and everyone's eyes were stuck on Chu Qianchen, and most of them didn't react.
No one expected that this mere marquis' daughter would be so bold.
These women either frowned, showed a look of surprise, looked at them, or showed a gloating smile.
The second daughter of Yongding Hou was unfamiliar to everyone present. The name Chu Qianchen never appeared at banquets in various prefectures. She was just an insignificant daughter who could not be on the table.
If the Yongding Marquis' Mansion was prosperous, she would still have some value for marriage, but no one knew that the Yongding Marquis' Mansion had been deteriorating since the beginning of the previous emperor and was no longer favored.
If the emperor had not issued an order to make her happy for King Chen, she would definitely not be qualified to become Princess Chen.
Some people think that Chu Qianchen is ignorant of politeness, some people wait and see, and some people stare at Chu Qianchen thoughtfully, such as Princess Shun.
Princess Shun heard from her daughter Princess Chang Ning that Chu Qianchen had an amazing skill to archery. In Furong Garden, he even shot and killed the assassin who assassinated Prince Nanhao with one arrow.
Also, just now when Emperor Taimiao and Gu Jue were confronted by tit, many people were shocked and a little disrespectful, but Chu Qianchen was calm from beginning to end.
Princess Shun didn't care at that time, and when she thought about it again, she couldn't help but feel secretly amazed.
At this moment, when she looked at Chu Qianchen again, her eyes became solemn.
This Princess Chen made every move and had extraordinary demeanor. He was not as timid as an ordinary concubine. This young girl might be very extraordinary.
The queen's face became even worse, and the veins on her forehead slightly leaped.
Before today, the queen had only met Chu Qianchen during the Birthday Festival. At that time, her biggest impression of this little girl who didn't even dare to say much was cowardice and weakness.
But now it seems that this girl is clearly very presumptuous!
The Crown Princess frowned and asked the queen with tactfulness: "Nine Brothers and Sisters, why have you sat down?!"
Another beautiful woman who was nearly thirty years old and wearing a seven-pierce crown on her head was intended to please the queen, and seized the opportunity to teach Chu Qianchen: "Princess Chen, you are too ignorant of the rules. Why don't you treat the queen when you see her!"
Princess Jing County was also here, and his expression was slightly condensed.
Chu Qianchen looked at the beautiful woman calmly. In fact, she didn't know the other person. Seeing that the other person was wearing a seven-zhaiguan, he said, "Princess Princess, I saluted the Queen. Did you doze off just now?"
Lan Ruo guessed that Chu Qianchen might not recognize the other party, and said with his ears: "This is the Princess of Zhuang County."
What to say?! Princess Cheng was so angry that her face turned pale and blurted out: "It's clear that you didn't give a big gift to the Queen!"
Chu Qianchen stroked his sleeves and sighed: "The princess of the county should learn the etiquette again with the nanny, so as not to let people laugh at them when they are outside."
"Three kneelings and nine kowtows are only for heaven, earth, king, master, and father." Chu Qianchen taught earnestly, "The Empress has always been kind, so why not ask the Empress to reward you, a nanny, to learn the rules and etiquette."
In fact, the queen asked Chu Qianchen to make a bow in the bowing ceremony. However, Chu Qianchen deliberately interpreted the "big ceremony" mentioned by Princess Zhuang County as the three kneeling and nine kowtow ceremony.
The princess of Zhuang County was a moment of confusion and thought to himself that this concubine's daughter was really treacherous.
Feeling that the eyes of others around him were on her, Princess Zhuang felt her face burning. She was not willing to suffer this loss. She said toughly: "You are so smart! You are clearly taking advantage of the problem."
If she really brought a nanny from the palace back to the county prince's mansion, she would have lost all her face today, and she would have lost all her money!
"Take the point of taking advantage of the problem?" Chu Qianchen smiled playfully, deliberately looking at the queen on the phoenix throne, and her eyes turned meaningfully on the queen's face.
Alas, everyone said that. If she didn’t “take advantage of the problem”, wouldn’t she let her down too much!
Chu Qianchen looked at Princess Zhuang with a condescending look and asked leisurely: "Princess Princess... No, why don't you salute me?"
In terms of grade, Chu Qianchen is the princess, and Zhuang County Princess is just the princess.
In terms of seniority, Prince Zhuang's grandfather was the cousin of the late emperor, and Prince Zhuang's concubine should call Chu Qianchen to the emperor.
Whether in accordance with the state or family rituals, the princess of Zhuang County should salute her.
The princess of Zhuang County said rude to the elders, so it is also appropriate to bow down.
Chu Qianchen's words are reasonable and make people unable to find any mistakes.
She married Gu Jue, and her wife was the most important thing. Her identity and seniority were both high and high. Even the Crown Princess was her junior.
"..." The Princess Zhuang County looked blue and white.
At her age, she could almost be Chu Qianchen's mother. She couldn't do it if she kowtowed to such a yellow-haired girl in public.
Her chest tightened, but now if she didn't kowtow and bow down, she would be slapping herself in the face.
Moreover, even if she kneels down, she can't get it. Next, is it the turn of the Crown Princess to salute Chu Qianchen, the emperor?
If she really develops to this point, wouldn’t she be hated by the Crown Princess?
The princess of Zhuang County was in a mess and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Chu Qianchen was very casual and smiled and said, "Niece-in-law, do you want to greet me?"
Anyway, the prince has a high seniority, so it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t need to.
She just needs to be sure that they can’t do anything to her, so what?!
Chu Qianchen's smile on his face became deeper, his eyebrows were crescent like a crescent moon, which contrasted with the stunned expressions of others around him.
