175 soft rice
Mrs. Mu felt relieved. She knew that the most difficult level for her daughter had passed.
Even if you have to settle the accounts, you have to do it step by step. Anyway, if you can run away from the monks and the temple, their Duke Mu's mansion will not suffer such a big loss!
The wife of Duke Mu and Duke Mu exchanged glances quietly.
From a distance, the sound of gongs came to the sky, piercing through the thick night like sharp arrows.
Mrs. Shen turned her head and looked out the window. The night was as dark as ink and as cool as water.
She was already a little impatient, hoping that tomorrow would arrive soon and she would see Chu Qianchen again...
Soon, Dongmei came in with a curtain, smiled on her face, and said, "Madam, the carriage from Prince Chen's mansion has just arrived outside the Duke's mansion. Who are you here?"
Dongmei didn't deliberately keep it in hiding, just to make Shen happy.
The answer to her question was obvious. Madam Chen cooperated and asked, "Is it His Highness King Chen?"
"Isn't that true!" Dongmei said happily.
Shen was shocked at first and felt relieved. That's good!
Duke Mu and Duke Mu looked at each other again, and their eyes were a little surprised.
On the contrary, Madam Chen recalled what she saw and heard in Prince Chen's Mansion and felt that it was not surprising at all.
Madam Chen said again: "Madam, I went to Prince Chen's Mansion today. Before the second aunt could speak, His Highness Chen took the initiative to let her come to Prince Chen's Mansion to see you..."
Madam Chen knew that Shen had been worried that Chu Qianchen would be wronged in the palace of Prince Chen. Now, judging from King Chen's various behaviors, it at least means that King Chen still attaches great importance to Chu Qianchen.
Shen's brows were slightly relaxed, and so were the two elders.
They were originally worried that Chu Qianchen would not please both sides of the house after being ordered to marry into Prince Chen's mansion. Now, her situation is still better than originally expected.
Duke Mu stroked his beard and smiled, "King Chen is not an unreasonable person."
Chu Qianchen also didn't expect Gu Jue to come to pick him up.
At this moment, she had already gotten into Gu Jue's carriage, her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, "Prince!"
Amber felt that she was a little redundant and automatically sat next to the coachman.
At night, the streets were empty, and the carriage from the Prince Chen Mansion occupied the entire street alone.
After taking the warm tea handed over by Gu Jue, Chu Qianchen took the initiative to say without waiting for him to ask: "I seem to be my mother's child..."
A few rays of hazy moonlight shone through the window of the carriage on her small face. The girl's eyes were clear, and she looked around with a little innocence and expectation.
She told the story of what happened to the Duke's Mansion today, including what she went to see the monk.
Gu Jue leaned against the window and listened quietly to her.
The sound of horse hooves echoed clearly on the empty streets, especially loud on this quiet night.
By the time Chu Qianchen got off the carriage, the man had almost calmed down, his face was calm, but the corners of his eyes were slightly red.
Her life experience made her later. Even if she let go of many things in her previous life, how could she remain indifferent to all this?
The two walked side by side and returned to the main courtyard, without saying anything along the way.
Chu Qianchen looked up at the vast sky above, remembering the scenes of the prince teaching her to learn the sky and recognize the stars in his previous life. He calmed down and felt that her own affairs were nothing in front of this sea of stars.
"Prince..." Chu Qianchen stopped at the entrance of the yard and wanted to ask if he had given her a word.
At this time, Madam Cai welcomed her, "Prince, Princess, I just prepared the meal."
As soon as the carriage entered the mansion, Madam Cai received the news and immediately asked someone to have a meal, and the time was just right.
Chu Qianchen then remembered that he hadn't even eaten supper and was hungry.
but……
Chu Qianchen turned his head and looked at Gu Jue with disagreement.
It seemed to be saying that the prince was really disobedient. She didn't stare at him, so he didn't need dinner!
There is also Yun Zhan. He has time to drive a car for the prince, but he doesn’t know how to urge the prince to have a meal!
If Yun Zhan hadn't been here, Chu Qianchen would have to curse him well.
Gu Jue fully understood her expression and eyes, touched her head casually, and said, "I'm hungry."
He smiled slightly, his smile as warm as the sun, softening his cold and frosty facial features, making him look more handsome, like the spring breeze and the bright moon.
Chu Qianchen: "..."
Chu Qianchen almost coaxed him for a moment, but immediately reacted and said to himself in his heart:
No, you can't let the prince coax it easily.
She thought so in her mind, but she couldn't get angry at all.
Just looking at him like this, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips and smiled as bright as the starry sky on this summer night.
The prince is so cunning! Chu Qianchen thought to himself.
Gu Jue pulled up her slender wrist and walked into the room.
There are simple four dishes and one soup on the table.
Even if Chu Qianchen didn't look at it, she knew what was on the table. She checked the menu that Gu Jue ate every day, not because she was worried about the chef, but because she was afraid that the meal would be incompatible with the medicine that Gu Jue was taking, which would affect the medicinal properties. In addition, she also prepared some medicinal recipes for the kitchen, so that the kitchen could make it for Gu Jue to eat every day according to her instructions.
Madam Cai personally fed the two of them, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed. She felt that since the princess married into the palace, the originally cold palace had become popular. It was indeed necessary for a hostess in this palace!
After the two of them had dinner and then washed up, it was almost the second day.
Chu Qianchen hurriedly urged Gu Jue to rest again, feeling that the prince was too disobedient, so she had to list his schedule for him and remind him of his meals, medication and rest time.
She also rested early.
The acupuncture method she had just given for Shen was extremely exhausting, and it was even more exhausted than her riding a horse for a day. In addition, the sudden relief made her let down a long-lasting thought. Not long after closing her eyes, she fell asleep.
It was not until a uniform breathing sound came from beside him that Gu Jue quietly stood up.
Chu Qianchen slept very deeply. The movement around her did not alarm her, and she did not notice that Gu Jue had left.
Gu Jue went to the front yard and called the chief Cheng Linhua over.
"Tell me about the Chu family." Gu Jue signaled Cheng Linhua to sit down and asked straight to the point.
As early as a few months ago, after learning that the miracle doctor in Jishitang was a daughter of Chu, Gu Jue asked Cheng Linhua and the others to investigate Chu Qianchen. However, at that time, she was only found to be the concubine daughter of the Chu family's parents' room.
Afterwards, the emperor suddenly gave Gu Jue this marriage. Although Gu Jue was not in the capital at that time, Prince Chen's Mansion still carefully investigated the Chu family for this.
Cheng Linhua vaguely guessed why Gu Jue suddenly asked about the Chu family because of Chu Qianchen, so his answer was centered on Chu Qianchen: "The princess is the second daughter of the concubine, and was born to Aunt Jiang, the concubine of Chu Lingxiao, the Marquis of Yongding. "
"That Aunt Jiang is the distant niece of Jiang, the grandmother of the Hou Mansion. She came to the Hou Mansion to live in the Hou Mansion more than 20 years ago because of her parents' death. She was childhood sweethearted with Chu Lingxiao."
"Sixteen years ago, the late emperor was determined to rectify military affairs. The Yongding Marquis' Mansion was involved in the case of empty salary in Liaodong. The title was in danger. The old marquis went to the Duke Mu's mansion to marry Chu Lingxiao's eldest daughter Chen Zhi. Duke Mu responded and settled the case for the Duke Yongding Marquis' Mansion. A year later, Chen Zhi married into the Duke's Mansion. In the same year, Chu Lingxiao took Aunt Jiang as a good concubine and gave birth to a son and a daughter."
"At that time, Aunt Jiang and Shen Zhi were pregnant almost at the same time. The old marquis was worried that Chu Lingxiao would like to kill his wife, so he drove Aunt Jiang to his hometown."
"Later, this wife and her concubine gave birth to a daughter on the same day, and they were the eldest daughter of Chu Qianhuang and the princess in the marquis's mansion."
Cheng Linhua said, Gu Jue listened.
Gu Jue's knuckles gently knocked on his knees.
Cheng Linhua didn't know whether Gu Jue would listen to Chu Yunyi, Chu Yunmu, Chu Qianhuang and others, so he paused for a moment, carefully observing his words and expressions, always feeling that the prince's attention to the princess was a little different from others.
At least, in the prince's heart, the princess should be a bit special.
Gu Jue's knuckles stopped and asked, "Did the princess have a bad life in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Cheng Linhua felt that the prince would definitely not like his answer, but he nodded honestly: "It's true."
"In the past, when the princess was in the Marquis's Mansion, almost no one would look at her right away."
"Last year, I was sent to the village to live in the village for more than half a year, but later I was taken back to Beijing by Marquis Chen Zhi."
"It was not until March this year that the princess saved the fourth young master Chu Yunmu that she showed her medical skills for the first time."
Cheng Linhua sighed with some emotion: "It is this Mrs. Yongding Hou who has a good personality. Otherwise, if it were the Yun family, I would have been so desperate that the princess would have been tortured long ago..."
He guessed in his heart that the princess had some adventures when she lived in the village, so that she could learn such a medical technique. However, it was their princess who was extremely talented and had the ability to remember everything they saw!
Cheng Linhua admired their new princess in his heart and had to applaud Su Mubai's cunning fox.
Gu Jue stared at the pond outside the window. Under the moonlight, half of the pond of lotus flowers bloomed in the night, like clouds and clouds.
When the evening breeze blew, the pool water blew, and rippled, and the lotus flowers swayed gently, and several dragonflies flew above the pond.
"Meow!"
The little black cat happily chased a dragonfly, and its green eyes seemed to be glowing in the dark night. At night, it became energetic and teased birds and insects everywhere.
Gu Jue looked at the kitten who was having fun and asked again: "Where is this person Chu Lingxiao?"
Cheng Linhua's lips were pursed, feeling a little embarrassed.
He really looked down on Chu Lingxiao, but he was also the princess's biological father.
Cheng Linhua carefully said, "Marquis Yongding has always favored Aunt Jiang, but Mrs. Hou was born in Duke Mu's mansion, so he had no courage to kill his wife. However, the relationship between the couple was very bad. On the day the princess returned to her house for three dynasties, Mrs. Hou took her son back to her parents' home."
The servant who came to serve Gu Jue also heard the conversation and smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, just say he can eat soft rice."
The servant also went to the north with Gu Jue and kept serving Gu Jue closely, so he spoke more courageously than others.
