Chapter 130 130 Targeting

At this time, one of the palace maids knelt down and said to Chu Qianchen: "Miss Chu, next, I will measure the girl's length and take off her shoes and socks first."

One of the two palace maids, Chu Qianchen, took off his shoes and socks, and the other spread paper on the ground.

Chu Qianchen sat there and slowly fanned himself, without saying a word, just letting the palace maid do what he wanted.

This scene fell into the eyes of Aunt Qiu, who was very satisfied and thought to herself: Aunt Yan has trained people well. Look, when they are talking here, Chu Qianchen does not dare to interrupt even a word.

Aunt Yan is indeed very capable. I heard that all the palace maids who came into her hands were very obedient.

Over the years, many maids who were trained by Grandma Yan were quietly placed in the palaces of other concubines by the queen. Some of these hidden stakes were ineffective, and some of them even became the confidants of those concubines. For example, Concubine Chu's eldest maid Xia Lian, Concubine Li Shu's Yan Xiang, and Concubine Zhang Huibin's nurse Fang, etc.

These people are all very loyal and obedient, and have been secretly delivering news to the queen.

The corners of Aunt Qiu's mouth curled up slightly, making a mocking smile.

She believed that with Nanny Yan's ability, it would be easy for a concubine like Chu Qianchen to be obedient and obedient.

The two palace maids skillfully made several marks on the white paper and measured Chu Qianchen's feet.

At this point, all dimensions have been measured.

The two palace maids were busy packing things and checking the data that had just been recorded. Aunt Qiu walked towards Chu Qianchen and said, "Miss Chu, when the first sample of the wedding dress is ready, I will send it over." Try it on for you.”

Time is tight and this wedding dress can only be changed once at most, so we must be more careful and cautious.

The emperor attaches so much importance to this marriage that he must not make any mistakes or let anyone find fault in the bride's crown and harem.

Chu Qianchen responded politely, "Excuse me, mama." Hu Hu squatted on the ground and put her shoes and socks back on.

Aunt Qiu had an errand and was anxious to go back to catch up on the work, so she stayed soon and said with a smile: "No, no. This is the duty of a slave."

"Second Miss Chu, I just went to see the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is thinking of you and asked you to go to Shouning Palace to pay her respects tomorrow."

Chu Qianchen agreed with a smile.

After that, Aunt Qiu said goodbye and left with the two maids impatiently.

As they walked away, the room gradually became quiet.

Chu Qianchen, who was sitting there, didn't say anything, looked at Nanny Yan with a smile, and continued to play with the round fan in his hand.

Looking at the round fan that flexibly flipped between her fingers, Yan Yan's heart lifted up little by little. The pain of someone pinching her heart came again, making her feel breathless.

Her feet gave way, and she knelt down with a plop, lowering her head, not daring to look at Chu Qianchen at all.

Her heart beat uncontrollably and accelerated.

In the past two days, she barely slept, and no one paid attention to her. It was not until early this morning that Amber brought someone to let her wash and change clothes. Clothes that have been taken off.

Those old clothes smelled like pickles.

Since entering the palace decades ago, Grandma Yan has never been like this, which reminds her of the life she lived in the quagmire before she was ten years old.

Grandma Yan's eyes flickered uncertainly, and even her heartbeat became erratic, becoming more and more intense like a drum beating.

Only now did she understand.

I see.

Miss Chu Er had known for a long time that this would happen today, and knew that someone would want to see her, so she had someone carefully pack her up in advance.

This second girl from Chu was so scheming that she almost figured out all the thoughts of the emperor and the empress.

I can't find her Wuzhishan at all...

The more Grandma Yan thought about it, the more her heart grew colder.

At this moment, she regretted that she had taken the errand to Shouning Palace. She might as well stay in Ye Ting and educate the palace maids for the rest of her life. Even if she was not rich and powerful, she could still live the rest of her life peacefully. .

But now, she has fallen into this situation, and even recruited the Queen Mother to let her drug the Queen Mother's secret.

This secret alone was enough for the Queen Mother and the Empress to kill her.

It was as if she were mired in a cold, dark quagmire.

The more she struggled, the deeper she fell...

Now, she had no other choice but to chase the only ray of light in the darkness.

Aunt Yan raised her eyes tremblingly and looked at Chu Qianchen, with a spark of hope vaguely appearing in her dark and chaotic eyes.

If it were this unfathomable Chu Er girl...

Chu Qianchen just smiled and said nothing, and casually put the fan aside. She took the teacup presented by Amber and took a slow sip.

Nanny Yan became even more panicked, and the last words Chu Qianchen said the day before yesterday rang clearly in her ears: "It's a pity, I don't believe you."

In the past two days, she had been thinking about how she could make Chu Qianchen trust her. When she saw Aunt Qiu just now, she had a vague idea of ​​the answer and hurriedly said: "Miss Chu, I have something to report!"

Afraid that she would be taken back to the dark room again, Grandma Yan couldn't wait to continue: "When I was in Ye Ting, I trained and educated many palace maids. Some of the palace maidens were sent to other palaces as the empress's secret stakes. In the courtyard.”

"Slave, you can tell the girl the names of these people!"

Chu Qianchen winked, and Amber immediately prepared a pen and ink, and then handed a wolf-hair pen to Granny Yan.

Nanny Yan's eyelids trembled, she didn't dare to hesitate at all, she wrote down all the names she knew with trembling hands, and finally she spontaneously put her thumbprint on them as a sign of her sincerity to surrender to Chu Qianchen.

Grandma Yan raised the three fingers of her right hand, pointed to the sky, to the earth, to her heart and swore: "Miss Chu, what I wrote is absolutely true. Otherwise, I will be struck by lightning and die!"

Nanny Yan thought to herself: She pointed out all the eldest ladies Xia Lian next to Concubine Chu. Chu Qianchen can use this to please Concubine Chu. In this way, she should believe her sincerity.

Hu Bo put away the piece of paper that Nanny Yan had written on, dried the ink, and showed it to Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen only glanced at it and said calmly, "In that case, Aunt Yan can follow me into the palace tomorrow."

Grandma Yan opened her eyes slightly, unable to hide her surprise.

Chu Qianchen actually dared to take her into the palace. The palace was not a prince's palace. Wasn't she afraid that she would complain to the queen?

Chu Qianchen smiled slightly, with a calmness and calmness that would not change his expression even if the mountain collapsed.

Grandma Yan had the answer in her heart.

She is not afraid.

Looking at the piece of paper in Hu Hu's hand, Grandma Yan only felt weak and tired.

She has already handed in the petition, which is equivalent to handing the real evidence into the hands of Chu Qianchen. Even if she files a complaint, what will happen?!

It was the emperor's will for Chu Qianchen to marry into Prince Chen's palace. No matter what happened, this could not be changed. Chu Qianchen would definitely be the future Princess Chen.

She revealed such a big secret as the queen. It is normal for a slave to die in the palace. She will definitely not be able to forgive it!

Aunt Yan quickly recognized the reality, kowtowed to Chu Qianchen respectfully, and responded honestly: "Yes, girl."

She changed her title to show that she really recognized Chu Qianchen as her master.

Chu Qianchen waved his hand casually, "I'm going to the palace tomorrow morning, so go down and have a good rest."

Agate took Granny Yan down to rest.

Chu Qianchen went back to the inner room first, changed out of her new clothes and put on a simple jade-colored shirt, and then went to the small study to continue making her Dazao pills.

Thinking that she was going to the palace tomorrow morning, she rarely stayed up late that night and took a rest at the second watch. The soothing fragrance lingered in the middle of the night. She slept very well. When she opened her eyes the next morning, it was already dawn. The light has brightened.

She took Hu Hue and Nanny Yan out early in the morning, and took the Marquis's carriage to the outside of the palace gate.

The previous two times she entered the palace, the procedures were extremely complicated, but this time, it was much simpler.

With the token given by the Queen during the Wanshou Banquet, she easily entered the palace gate and went straight to Shouning Palace. Aunt Yan respectfully stepped back half a step to lead the way for Chu Qianchen.

Queen Mother Yin's eyes showed joy when she saw Chu Qianchen coming.

The decision was made yesterday. The marriage was finalized. Chu Qianchen was already her daughter-in-law.

However, seeing that Aunt Yan was there, Queen Mother Yin still acted reserved and dignified, describing her look as lukewarm.

After Chu Qianchen bowed, she spoke calmly and asked someone to give her a seat.

A palace maid in green clothes served Chu Qianchen tea, and then she heard Nanny Yan calmly order: "Everyone, go down."

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, glanced at Aunt Yan, then glanced at Aunt He, then responded with a low eyebrow, and exited the palace together with the other palace maid.

In the palace, only the Empress Dowager Yin, Chu Qianchen, Aunt Yan and the Empress Dowager's close aide, Aunt He, were left.

Chu Qianchen took out a small blue and white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, handed it to Aunt He, and said: "The Queen Mother, take one pill of this pill every morning and evening. It should take effect in four or five days."

Although the pills don't work as quickly as the decoctions, there is more than just "Grandma Yan" in the Shouning Palace. I'm afraid the emperor's spies are everywhere, so it's impossible to boil the medicine, so the next best thing is to do it.

Queen Mother Yin was confused when she saw Chu Qianchen giving the pills to her without any hesitation in front of Grandma Yan.

Grandma He was so surprised that her hand slipped, and the small porcelain bottle in her hand almost slipped out of her hand.

Both of them looked at Nanny Yan who was standing behind Chu Qianchen with complicated eyes. Seeing her lowered eyebrows, they both understood instantly.

Counting the days, it was less than six days since Nanny Yan followed Chu Qianchen to the Yongding Hou Mansion. In such a short period of time, Chu Qianchen managed to take care of Nanny Yan.

Thinking about it, Queen Mother Yin's expression was a little complicated, and she exchanged a look with Aunt He.

They had long known that Nanny Yan was sent by the emperor to Shouning Palace to keep an eye on the Queen Mother.

The problem is that this huge palace belongs to the emperor, and all the people in the palace are the emperor's people. Even if the Queen Mother drives away Aunt Yan today, there will be more informants in the future, and it will be a mixed bag, and it will be even harder to judge. .

It would be better to keep Nanny Yan, at least she is still in their sight, and they can pass some information to the emperor through her appropriately.

Of course, Queen Mother Yin also thought about subduing Nanny Yan, and quietly asked Nanny He to check out Nanny Yan's life experience, origins, preferences, etc. Nanny Yan had naturally made some mistakes in the palace for so many years. There were some shameful secrets, but these things were far from being enough for her to take advantage of Nanny Yan, so Queen Mother Yin did not act rashly, for fear of not subduing the person, but instead alerting the snake.

And she, the daughter-in-law, subdued Nanny Yan easily.

Queen Mother Yin was surprised and happy, and looked at Chu Qianchen with even greater admiration.

Chu Qianchen was still talking to Aunt He about the precautions for taking the medicine: "Just put the pill in warm water to dissolve it and let the Queen Mother take it."

"While taking the medicine, you are not allowed to drink alcohol, eat spicy and greasy food, and are not allowed to eat cold seafood and river food... and you are not allowed to smoke dry cigarettes."

Aunt He made promises one after another and wrote them all down in detail.

Then, Chu Qianchen looked at Nanny Yan and said, "Just stay, you don't have to go back with me."

Aunt Yan's head is as big as a bucket. Yesterday, Aunt Qiu passed on the Queen's instructions, asking her to stay in the Hou Mansion for a few more days. But now that Chu Qianchen has spoken, she dare not say no, so she only agrees.

This scene made Queen Mother Yin more sure of her guess, and she also liked her future daughter-in-law even more.

This girl is smart, smart, well-behaved, and acts with a certain decisiveness. Moreover, she is so beautiful. She is more suitable for her son than any famous girl she knows.

There is absolutely no way the emperor would be so kind and find such a good wife for Jue'er, so her previous guess must have been correct. It was indeed Jue'er's own trick that made this marriage possible.

Thinking of Chu Qianchen's beaming expression when he mentioned Gu Jue before, Queen Mother Yin felt that maybe the two of them had already hit it off.

OK, very good.

With Chu Qianchen here, Jue'er at least didn't have to worry about a fire in the backyard.

Just thinking about it, Queen Mother Yin's eyes became softer and loving when looking at Chu Qianchen, and the more she thought about it, the more satisfied she became. At this time, Nanny He brought a cup of tea, dissolved the pills herself, and delivered them to Queen Mother Yin.

A faint medicinal fragrance hit her nostrils. Queen Mother Yin had been drinking medicine for many years and was very familiar with the smell of medicine. She was about to take a sip, but after taking a sip, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Not too bitter, and still has a sweet flavor.

After drinking the medicine, Queen Mother Yin rinsed her mouth with another cup of tea, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then looked at Chu Qianchen again, with a smile in her eyes.

This girl is really a caring person.

Empress Dowager Yin felt at ease in her heart and waved to Chu Qianchen, wanting to talk to her about herself. At this moment, a maid's report sounded outside the palace:

"The Queen Mother asked Aunt Shan to bring melons to the Queen Mother."

Chu Qianchen glanced lightly, and Granny Yan went out to greet him naturally.

Aunt He observed Aunt Yan for a while, and sighed in her heart: Aunt Yan used to be a cold and shrewd person. She had been in the palace for so many years, and her subordinates had also been killed, but now, she seems to be a different person. Yes, the "core" seems to have changed.

After leaving the palace, Grandma Yan felt relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.

She felt that staying in the same room with Chu Qianchen would be fatal.

Grandma Yan took two deep breaths, calmed down a lot, and walked out of the hall as if nothing had happened.

Aunt Shan and two young chambermaids were waiting under the eaves outside the main hall, and said with a smile: "Aunt Yan, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look good."

Grandma Yan only felt sarcastic in her heart, but she smiled and said "Where is that?" and praised Grandma Shan for looking several years younger.

Aunt Shan made a gesture and said: "This is the melon that was just sent as tribute. It is sweet and juicy. It is eaten in summer and is just right to relieve the heat and promote fluid production. The Queen Mother specially asked me to send a basket to the Queen Mother."

A little waiter gave a basket of cantaloupes to Grandma Yan and stuffed a heavy purse into her armhole.

Grandma Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she could almost smell the familiar smell of medicine on her nose.

She knew this must be the kind of medicine packet that is added to ginseng tea.

Thinking of her recent symptoms of forgetfulness, insomnia, and heart palpitations, Nanny Yan felt as if there was a huge boulder hidden in the armhole, so heavy that her whole body was about to collapse.

She couldn't help but wonder: Did the Queen already know that something would happen just by smelling this medicine? !

The answer is obvious.

The Queen must know that in the eyes of their nobles, the life of a slave like her is simply insignificant.

If the king wants his ministers to die, they must die.

Even if the Queen speaks frankly, can she refuse? !

You can only suffer it, whether you can survive or not depends on your own life!

Seeing that Aunt Yan seemed stunned, Aunt Shan called out: "Aunt Yan?"

Aunt Yan quickly came to her senses and said calmly: "This is a sign of filial piety from the Queen Mother. I will cut the melon myself later and give it to the Queen Mother."

While talking, Grandma Yan finally figured it out.

Chu Qianchen had just asked himself to stay in Shouning Palace just to participate in tea.

As long as she was in the palace, she would make the ginseng tea every day, and she would handle it. She could give the medicine, or not. But if she was not in the palace, the Queen would have to choose another person, and things would become worse. trouble.

Queen Mother Yin could also pour this ginseng tea, but the problem was that only if she "drank" the ginseng tea could the emperor feel at ease.

Aunt Yan felt a splitting headache, but she still had a smile on her face and continued: "The Queen Mother said that the ginseng tea I made was good, so she kept me and said that she would send another nun to teach Miss Chu Er."

"Miss Chu Er has a gentle and gentle temperament. I think she can get along well with other nuns."

To Aunt Shan, the so-called "gentle and gentle" meant cowardice and cowardice, just like what Aunt Qiu said after getting Chu Qianchen's body measurements yesterday.

Aunt Shan was very satisfied and felt that it would be better for Aunt Yan to return to Shouning Palace. In her absence, the Empress was still thinking about who could make ginseng tea for the past two days. This task was too important and could not be done casually. Leave it to ordinary people.

After thinking for a while, Aunt Shan saw that there were no outsiders around, so she lowered her voice and said, "You can find a way to send Lan Ruo to the Hou Mansion to Miss Chu Er."

Aunt Yan agreed without saying a word, feeling some sympathy for Lan Ruo: she had come out of the wolf's den, and next, it was up to Lan Ruo to appreciate the methods of Miss Chu!

Aunt Shan was also afraid that she would talk too much to Aunt Yan and arouse suspicion, so she added with a smile: "I want to go back to the Queen, so I will take my leave first."

Grandma Yan was so happy that she asked someone to help her see Grandma Shan off, and she returned to the palace.

In the bedroom, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Chu Qianchen was playing backgammon with Queen Mother Yin. Backgammon was simple and effortless. Queen Mother Yin played casually. While playing, she glanced at Chu Qianchen with a smile on her face.

In her heart, Nanny Yan felt that Chu Qianchen was just a smiling fox. She could guess who had the upper hand in this game even without looking.

"Crack."

After Chu Qianchen fell for a moment, he looked at Nanny Yan indifferently.

Aunt Yan trembled, subconsciously quickened her pace, walked to Chu Qianchen, bowed politely, and then told her about the conversation she had just had with Aunt Shan and what the queen meant. Said.

Queen Mother Yin: “…”

Aunt He: “…”

They clearly knew that Nanny Yan was subdued by Chu Qianchen, but at this moment, they still felt a strange sense of disobedience.

The Empress Dowager Yin naturally knew that Lan Ruo, whom Aunt Yan was talking about, was the old palace maid in charge of cleaning, sweeping, and flowers in Shouning Palace. All the little palace maids had to respect her as "aunt", but she didn't actually have many opportunities to visit Yin on weekdays. The Queen Mother came closer.

This means that Lan Ruo is at least a person who does nothing wrong.

Queen Mother Yin paused absently and looked at Chu Qianchen with some worry.

Although she didn't know how Chu Qianchen conquered Nanny Yan, she should at least have figured out some of Nanny Yan's handles and weaknesses. If it were Lan Ruo...

Chu Qianchen smiled slightly and wrote lightly: "Then let her go back with me..."

She didn't seem worried at all, and then another white stone landed.

Aunt Yan was not surprised at all and once again shed tears of sympathy for Lan Ruo.

But that's all.

She doesn't want to go to Yongding Marquis Mansion again. She wants to have a peaceful sleep tonight!

Nanny Yan has never missed her bed and bedding so much, and for the first time she understands the saying: A nest of gold and silver is not as good as one’s own straw nest.

Chu Qianchen didn't stay long. After playing the game of chess with Queen Mother Yin, he left without lunch.

After all, everyone in the harem now knows that Queen Mother Yin is very dissatisfied with Chu Qianchen, her future daughter-in-law, because Chu Qianchen is of too low a status, has few talents and knowledge, is dull and timid, and cannot stand on the stage.

Under such circumstances, Queen Mother Yin would only arouse suspicion if she kept Chu Qianchen for too long.

Furthermore, everyone knew that the Queen Mother Yin was not in good health and was often mentally depressed.

So, under the attention of so many eyes in the palace, Chu Qianchen came out of Shouning Palace before noon.

There were three people when we came in, and there were still three people when we left.

Aunt Yan was replaced by a palace maid in her thirties with a thin figure. She looked serious and serious, and every step seemed to be measured with a ruler, no more, no less, no rush and no slowness.

Amber has been quietly sizing up Aunt Lanruo, feeling dumbfounded.

Lan Ruo also felt Hu Huo's gaze, and sighed to herself that Hu Hu was really unruly, and couldn't help but feel that Aunt Yan was not doing things well. She had trained Chu Qianchen well, but she did not discipline the maid next to her!

It’s really outrageous!

When she returns to the palace next time, she will definitely try to sue Nanny Yan.

They returned to Wanyan Courtyard in silence all the way. Lan Ruo made some fuss in her heart as she walked. She prepared a full stomach and planned to attack when the time came. She must subdue Miss Chu Er as soon as possible and take over. Dominance of her yard.

With a "squeak" sound, the door closed.

Lan Ruo came back from her chaotic thoughts and found that Chu Qianchen and Hu Hu were the only two people in the room.

The midday sun shines brightly through the windows, and two ice basins are placed in the corner. Although it is midsummer, the room is cool and comfortable as early spring.

Amber handed the fan embroidered with a black cat to Chu Qianchen's hand, not forgetting to give Lan Ruo a look of sympathy.

Lan Ruo felt a thump in her heart, vaguely feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

What's wrong?

By the way, this courtyard is very orderly inside and out. On her way to Wanyan Courtyard, there were also maids and wives from the Hou Mansion hiding in corners and quietly pointing at her. But after arriving at this courtyard, No one even looked at her twice.

Just like now, the three of them were in the house, and there was no sound outside. Not even the maid's whisper or rustling could be heard.

It was eerily quiet inside and outside.

The servants here have strict rules, and everything around them makes it almost impossible for her to find fault.

This courtyard is like an airtight iron barrel. It really does not look like the courtyard of a fourteen-year-old girl, nor does it look like the results that Grandma Yan can achieve in just a few days of training.

"Meow..."

There was a faint sound of cat meowing from somewhere.

Chu Qianchen recognized it immediately. It was Yue Ying's voice, which was a bit coquettish and lively.

Since Yueying's injured leg was able to go to the ground, the little guy has become more lively and active, pestering her all day long to play.

She had to deal with Lan Ruo as soon as possible so that she could play with Yueying.

As he thought about it, Chu Qianchen's eyes became cold and sharp, and his whole temperament changed drastically.

Lan Ruo's heart sank and her hair stood on end. For a moment, she felt like a mouse in a cat's cave.

And she has been targeted!

Hundreds of miles away in Nanyang, the second young master of Nanyang Palace was like a mouse being stared at by a cat. He was breaking out in cold sweat and his heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his throat.

There were seven or eight people sitting in the huge tent, and the atmosphere was solemn and dull, on the verge of breaking out.

Sitting at the top was a young man dressed in white clothes. He was handsome in appearance, elegant in temperament, cold and arrogant, which formed a sharp contrast with the big and strong veterans.

The young man just sat leisurely behind the general's case, without saying a word, and looked like a king in the world.

Just like the misty mountains and misty clouds, they are so far away, so out of reach, and so difficult to get close to.

I was so angry about something yesterday that I didn’t upload the article to the backend until after 0 o’clock. Then, I set the post at 7 o’clock the next day. I completely forgot that it was already past 0 o'clock, I should have posted at 7 o'clock that day.

How stupid.

The prince you have been calling for is here.

It is also two chapters without chapters. I have thought about it, if you say I have less, I will divide it into chapters! (arrogant face~)
