Chapter 119 119 Cause and effect (second update)

Chu Qianchen looked at Chu Qianhuang, the corners of his lips curled up, and he stepped back without stopping.

Chu Qianhuang blew on the back of her hand a few times and quickly calmed down. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Second sister, you misunderstood me."

She just said this and said no more.

After that, there was silence in the carriage, and neither sister spoke again.

Chu Qianchen poured herself a cup of tea and drank it comfortably, as if Chu Qianhuang was not here at all. She didn't even look at Chu Qianhuang anymore.

However, Chu Qianhuang couldn't control herself and looked at Chu Qianchen from time to time with complicated eyes.

The Chu Qianchen in the dream was definitely not like this...

Chu Qianhuang's eyes flickered, and the nails of her thumbs subconsciously dug into her own fingertips.

The carriage arrived at the palace gate in silence.

A long queue had already formed at the entrance of the palace, and carriages from various palaces occupied the entire Chang'an Avenue, advancing slowly like a turtle crawling.

If they were carriages belonging to princes, nobles or ministers of the emperor, they could jump in line and enter the palace first. The Yongding Marquis Mansion was really not among the nobles in the capital, so they could only line up in an orderly manner and move forward slowly with the carriages in front.

It was not until half an hour later that the Marquis's carriage arrived in front of the palace gate.

Madam Tai, Shen, Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen got off the carriage one after another.

Mrs. Shen also knew that the sisters' carriage had stopped midway just now, and Grandma Wang also reported back to Chu Qianhuang that she fainted in the carriage, but she did not fully believe it and looked at the two sisters with a scrutinizing gaze.

Chu Qianchen smiled slightly and looked back at Shen generously, but Chu Qianhuang avoided her gaze with wandering eyes.

Shen: “…”

Shen's eyes flashed slightly, her gaze lingered on Chu Qianhuang's face for a moment, and she just said to Mrs. Tai: "Mother, let's go."

The madam didn't pay attention at all. She was thinking about today's longevity banquet. She gave a few instructions to her two granddaughters, and then followed a young chamberlain into the palace.

Under the guidance of the young chamberlain, the four of them first went to Fengluan Palace to meet the queen.

There were already seven or eight female family members sitting in Fengluan Palace, all of them smiling and talking around the queen on the phoenix throne.

When the four members of the Chu family entered the palace, all the female family members looked at them, and most of them fell on Chu Qianchen. They were either exploring, sizing up, or being amazed.

Everyone was somewhat curious about the future Princess Chen.

Apart from anything else, the appearance of this Chu Er girl can be said to be first-class among the noble ladies in the capital.

The four members of the Chu family quickly walked up to the queen and bowed their knees in unison to salute the queen: "See you, queen!"

The queen is dressed in gorgeous Zhai clothes and wearing a nine-Zhai crown. She sits elegantly on a golden lacquered phoenix throne. She looks graceful and dignified, with the unique aloofness of the harem master.

"Excuse me." The queen smiled slightly, raised her hand to signal them to excuse themselves, and then looked at Chu Qianchen.

The queen knew Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen and Chu Qianhuang, so she could naturally guess who Chu Qianchen was, with a friendly smile.

"Is this the second girl of your house?" the queen asked with a smile.

Madam Tai quickly responded "Yes", and the Queen waved to Chu Qianchen, "Come and take a look at this palace."

Chu Qianchen took two steps forward and walked to the queen.

The queen had already received the emperor's order and was very kind to Chu Qianchen. She personally took off the mutton-fat white jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Chu Qianchen's hand as a meeting gift.

"I thank you, the Empress." Chu Qianchen bowed and thanked her in a formal manner, keeping his head half-bowed and "dare not" look directly at the Empress.

"We are all one family, no need to be polite." The queen held Chu Qianchen's hand affectionately, looked her up and down, smiled and asked her questions such as how old she was and what she usually likes to do. She was polite throughout. scene words.

Chu Qianchen always lowered his face. When the queen asked, she answered, concisely and clearly, without saying a word.

Her look of "not even daring to say more" seemed cowardly and weak in the eyes of the queen.

The queen secretly thought to herself: This second girl of Chu is just as the emperor said, she is a concubine who cannot stand on the stage. Compared with King Chen, she is in the sky and on earth.

Even though she looked down upon Chu Qianchen in her heart, the queen kept smiling and seemed to attach great importance to her future sister-in-law. She taught her earnestly: "Miss Chu, you are young. What's wrong with you after you marry into Prince Chen's palace?" Understood, you can come to the palace to find me at any time.”

The queen raised her hand and made a gesture, and a round-faced old woman took out a token and presented it to Chu Qianchen.

"In the future, you can use this token to enter the palace at any time."

The Queen's enthusiasm to win over Chu Qianchen was naturally the Emperor's intention.

Although the emperor did not explain his words, he was as smart as the queen and vaguely understood the emperor's meaning. The emperor gave Prince Chen a marriage, perhaps with the intention of inserting someone into Prince Chen's palace.

Chu Qianchen was just a concubine, and she was a queen. As long as she showed kindness to her, she would be grateful. If anything happened in the future, she could also go to the palace to inform her.

The madam was shocked. She never expected that the queen would look at Chu Qianchen so differently. There were not many people in the capital who could have such a token, at least those who were first-grade or above, such as princesses, married princesses, The Duke's wife or the First Assistant's wife, etc.

Mrs. Tai quickly thanked Chu Qianchen: "Thank you, Queen, for your love."

Chu Qianchen retreated to the side of Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen, and knelt down to salute again.

At this moment, a palace maid stepped forward with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, the third princess is here."

Upon hearing this, the queen's graceful face became a little more loving, and she raised her eyes and looked out of the palace.

Outside the palace, a girl in pink palace clothes and a double-snail bun walked quickly towards this side. Other female family members also saw the girl, and several of them exchanged subtle glances with each other.

The third princess entered the palace quickly and bowed to the queen first. Then, she looked at Chu Qianchen with a smile, her smile was innocent and simple, and she said affectionately: "Sister, why don't you come to see me?"

The third princess seemed not to notice Chu Qianhuang at all. The queen and the ladies and ladies around her were all stunned.

Didn’t it mean that this Miss Chu Er had only entered the palace once before?

Why does the third princess seem to be very familiar with her?

The third princess took one of Chu Qianchen's arms affectionately, held her in her arms tenderly, and said to the queen, "Mother, I want to change my reading companion."

Chu Qianhuang's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously held the handkerchief. After a while, she calmed down.

The queen was even more surprised. She glanced at Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang calmly, and a deep strange light flashed in 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 smiled brightly 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. His eyes were bright and she felt that Chu Qianchen was more beautiful than any woman she had ever seen!

The queen was startled, thinking that her daughter had always liked beautiful things, beautiful flowers, beautiful peacocks, beautiful orioles... and beautiful people.

It's normal for her daughter to like Chu Qianchen... All the girls in the Chu family are very scheming, and at such a young age, they are all so good at coaxing others!

The other female family members in the palace naturally heard what Anle said. A princess in her forties, wearing a nine-zhai crown of pearls and emeralds, said with a smile: "Queen, the third princess is right, Miss Chu is really She has a good appearance, even I think she is good-looking, and she is even more handsome and handsome than King Chen." The female relatives exchanged looks with half-smiles.

This Chu Er girl is so beautiful!

It doesn't matter if she is a beauty, she is pleasing to the eye just standing there.

Several other princes and the Duke's wife also echoed, mostly with complimentary words.

Princess Chang Ning would look at the pot leak 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 the eldest son Chu will also participate. The second lady Chu must also want to see your brother, right? "

Princess Shun glanced quickly at her daughter. Knowing her daughter, Mo Ruomu, she naturally could tell that her daughter was impatient to accompany them here, so she wanted to encourage the three princesses to go to the martial arts field to watch the martial arts test together.

An Le's eyes brightened even more, and she forgot about the accompanying reading for a moment. She grabbed Chu Qianchen's arm and said to the Queen regardless of wind or rain: "Mother, my sister and I are going to watch the martial arts test."

The queen also saw Princess Chang Ning's thoughts, but such a trivial matter was innocuous, so she followed An Le's wishes and said with a smile: "I know that you young people can't sit still, so you can go play by yourself. There is no need to accompany you here. It’s on.”

When the queen said this, all the noble ladies were happy. They all felt restrained here and were eager to go and watch the martial arts test.

As a result, all the ladies present stood up and left, surrounding the third princess Anle and Chu Qianchen at the front as they walked out.

Anle held Chu Qianchen's arm and refused to let go. As she walked, she whispered into her ear: "Sister, the fragrance on your body smells so good, fragrant and sweet..."

As she spoke, the tip of her nose moved, almost touching Chu Qianchen's body, like a clingy little puppy.

"This is the sachet I made myself." Chu Qianchen said with a smile.

Because the tip of Anle's hair touched her neck, it made her feel a little itchy, and the smile on her face became deeper.

She didn't like the emperor, but she didn't hate the innocent third princess, and she even had some sympathy. In her previous life, the third princess finally followed her father's orders and married Nan Hao, who was thousands of miles away. She married Nan Hao and never set foot again in her lifetime. Go to your homeland.

The group of people talked in twos and threes and walked towards the Mingde Hall.

Chu Qianhuang, who was in the rear, looked at Chu Qianchen's back. She unconsciously slowed down her steps, and then slowed down again. She was at least seven or eight feet away from Chu Qianchen, feeling uneasy.

The scene in the carriage reappeared in her mind over and over again...

Until this moment, Chu Qianhuang still felt frightened. When she thought about it, her heart beat faster and all the blood in her body seemed to rush to her heart...

Emotions such as surprise, shock, suspicion, uneasiness, etc. are all present.

Chu Qianhuang thought of her dream again, and fragments of the dream flashed in confusion.

She was sure that the Chu Qianchen in the dream did not have such a personality. She was a girl who never said "no" to others, and was timid and timid.

Fate is unfair.

Some people are born with honor, and some people die in abjection.

A good-for-nothing girl like Chu Qianchen lived a glorious life in a dream, but in the dream, she was reduced to nothing.

Dreams and reality suddenly intertwined.

Chu Qianhuang had to admit that the so-called "destiny" seemed to have a magical power. Although some things were obviously different, they would still embark on a path that was almost different and lead to the same destination...

As long as she is not careful, she may be doomed and go on the same path as in the dream.

Chu Qianhuang was slightly in a trance, her mind drifting away, until the noise coming from the front drew her attention back.

Only then did Chu Qianhuang notice that they had arrived near Mingde Hall.

In front of Mingde Hall, there is a huge school ground. For today's martial arts test, many stands and seats have been set up around the school ground. At this moment, wherever you can see, there are seas of people.

In addition to the soldiers of the Forbidden Army guarding order, there are also men who came to take part in the martial arts test today, as well as those foreign races with rhinoplasty, deep eyes, and strange clothes. At a glance, it feels like a mixed bag of fish and dragons.

The usually solemn and majestic palace seemed particularly lively and vibrant today.

These noble ladies couldn't help but glance curiously at the foreigners. Most of them were whispering to each other, with strange excitement on their faces and their eyes shining.

"Your Highness," Chu Qianhuang walked up to Anle and pointed in the direction, "Shall we sit over there? The view there is good, and we will definitely see clearly later."

With that said, she turned to Princess Chang Ning and asked, "Princess Princess, what do you think?"

Princess Changning was looking around for Prince Shun and the others, and responded casually.

The other ladies didn't have any objections, and walked towards a seat in the northeast with Anle surrounded.

At this time, Chu Qianchen saw a familiar figure. He slowed down and fell behind.

From the southwest, a tall monk in white clothes walked towards this direction, followed by five or six followers in moon-white Hufu.

The monk was dressed in white clothes like snow, which seemed to be more pure and flawless than the white clouds in the sky, as if he did not belong to this mortal world at all and was incompatible with the living beings around him.

The Daqi people and the foreigners on the school grounds all looked at the monk in unison. Some were amazed at his otherworldly temperament, some knew his identity, and some were curious as to how a monk could appear here. here.

Under the gaze of hundreds of people, Jialou walked up to Chu Qianchen without any hesitation, his white monk's robes fluttering in the wind, and the hem of his clothes flying.

"Master." Chu Qianchen smiled slightly, not surprised to see Jialou here. After all, the people of the Hao Kingdom accepted the emperor's invitation to come to the capital to attend the longevity banquet.

Mage? ! Chu Qianhuang in front heard the voice and suddenly looked back, looking deeply towards Jialou, and stopped. Princess Chang Ning beside her blurted out in a low voice: "Wuhejialou!"

Jialou performed a Buddhist salute to Chu Qianchen in a gentle manner, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "Girl, can you trust the Buddha?"

Chu Qianchen just smiled and said nothing.

Jialou didn't expect her to answer at first, so he continued: "Buddha said: We meet by fate, we meet each other by fate, we meet each other by fate; if there is no fate, we will not be born, if there is no fate, we will not die, if there is no fate, we will not disperse. Everything is the combination of causes and conditions, cherish the fate, and end the fate. It’s all up to chance.”

Chu Qianchen chewed on Jialou's words and suddenly understood. I'm afraid Jialou also heard about the fact that she was given a marriage to King Chen Chongxi, and these words were somewhat comforting.

Chu Qianchen felt the other party's kindness, but it was inconvenient to say more. After thinking about it, he meaningfully replied with a Buddhist saying: "Everything in this life is the cause and effect of the previous life."

As she said that, she changed the topic, "I saved the cat in this life, maybe it was the cat who saved me in the previous life."

She talked and laughed freely, with a hint of joking in her tone, making it difficult to tell whether she was sincere or joking.

As she spoke, her eyes casually glanced at the back of Garou's hand. The skin on the back of his hand was still smooth, and the scar scratched by the milk cat had long since healed.

Jialou was startled, and there was a bit of smile in his warm eyes.

This Miss Chu is young, but she is an open-minded person. It is no wonder that she has such extraordinary medical skills at such a young age.

"How's that kitten's injury?" Jialou asked with a smile.

cat? ! Chu Qianhuang's eyes widened even more, with a look of surprise on his face.

The last time she met Wu Hejialou and Chu Qianchen at Yunting Pavilion, she said hello, but she felt that the words were very unfamiliar. She also asked Chu Qianchen later and found out that they only met once.

But now, in just about half a month, are the two of them so familiar? !
