Chapter 137 137 Worry (Second update)

Chu Qianhuang turned sideways and was talking to a round-faced little maid in the corridor.

Grandma Chen pinched the handkerchief in her hand, walked forward as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Miss, you are here, why don't you let someone go in to announce it?"

She gave the round-faced little maid a reproachful look. She had already relaxed, and said to herself in her heart: With such a distance, the eldest girl should not be able to hear Tojima's words from her position.

The round-faced little maid was a little at a loss, so Chu Qianhuang hurriedly explained: "Nanny Chen, don't blame her. I told her not to go in. I'm waiting for you here."

Chu Qianhuang raised her eyes in Tojima's direction uneasily and asked softly, "Are you still angry with me?"

"I'm afraid of her..."

Chu Qianhuang rubbed the handkerchief in her hand and bit her lower lip slightly. Her dark pupils seemed to be gleaming with water, making her look pityful, as if she was afraid that Mrs. Shen still didn't want to see her.

Grandma Chen had watched Chu Qianhuang grow up since she was a child, and felt a little distressed. She tactfully advised: "There is no such thing as an overnight feud between mother and daughter. Madam doesn't want you to enter the palace as a companion..."

What she meant was that as long as Chu Qianhuang resigned from the princess's companionship and came back to admit his mistake to Mrs. Shen, the gap between mother and daughter would naturally be eliminated.

Chu Qianhuang: "..."

Chu Qianhuang lowered his eyes and did not answer Granny Chen's words.

She had worked hard to get to this point, so how could she give up so easily for Shen? She had to go to Nanhao with the third princess...

Nanny Chen also saw it, and her heart felt like a huge stone was pressing down on her. She wanted to persuade her again, but then another maid with an oval face came and said to Nanny Chen: "Nanny Chen, purple wild rice mat." And is the rosewood wooden screen with passion flower and unicorn five-leaf screen going to the second girl?"

Grandma Chen nodded, "Go ahead and do it."

The oval-faced maid hurriedly left again and went to do some business.

Aunt Chen was afraid that Chu Qianhuang would think too much, so she explained: "Miss, you don't know yet, right? The Lord of Hui'an County came today and will stay at the Hou Mansion for two days. Now he lives with the second girl. Madam. Let me prepare something for the Lord of Hui'an County."

"..." Chu Qianhuang blinked in surprise and looked in the direction of Wanyan Courtyard, "Then I have to go see Qiniang later. Is Qiniang's condition better?"

Grandma Chen sighed deeply and worriedly in her heart. She only said that the Lord of Hui'an County had fallen in love with the second girl and insisted on staying with the second girl for a few days.

Speaking of Gu Zhiyan, she had already followed Chu Qianchen to Wanyan Courtyard. When she first arrived in a strange environment, she became even more cautious. She held Chu Qianchen's hand tightly and never let go.

Chu Qianchen pointed to the little black cat lying in the cat's nest and said, "This is Yueying."

"Kittens are afraid of strangers and easily frightened. Qiniang, you are older than it, so you have to walk slower and speak softly so as not to scare it."

Gu Zhiyan looked at the little cat in the cat's nest, which was no bigger than her head, and then at herself. She suddenly felt that she was really a giant and nodded.

She slowed down her pace and tiptoed.

Chu Qianchen smiled slightly, walked to a place two steps away from the little black cat, stopped, motioned Gu Zhiyan to squat down with her, and then stretched out an index finger, "First stretch out one finger and let it smell it." your smell."

Gu Zhiyan also stretched out an index finger, stretched his arm, and paused in mid-air. His fingertip was only half a foot away from the black cat.

"Yueyue." She called softly, looking at the cat intently, her eyes sparkling.

Her wet nurse was also there, watching this scene with her eyes wide open in surprise.

Gu Zhiyan looked completely different from when she was in the palace. She would respond to Chu Qianchen, laugh, and try to tease the kitten.

In front of Chu Qianchen, Gu Zhiyan seemed like a normal child.

The little black cat in the cat's nest slowly raised its little head, its green eyes stared at Gu Zhiyan alertly, and sniffed her fingertips with the tip of its nose...

The wet nurse's heart suddenly rose again, and her body tensed slightly, wary that the kitten might scratch her county master.

Gu Zhiyan felt that the tip of the kitten's nose was wet and itchy when it touched her fingertips, and the corners of her lips curved up.

Chu Qianchen gave the little black cat an encouraging look. The little black cat seemed to think that Gu Zhiyan, a human cub, was the same as it, and rubbed its head against the palm of her hand.

Gu Zhiyan opened her eyes in disbelief and felt that her palms were warm, soft and fluffy...

"Yueyue." She called out softly again.

The little black cat seemed to understand and gave a soft "meow".

Chu Qianchen said again: "Qiniang, now you can gently touch its head and back, and you can also scratch its chin with your fingers like this."

Chu Qianchen demonstrated everything to her, and Gu Zhiyan carefully touched the little black cat, one after another.

The kitten purred with satisfaction, and its voice became softer, so soft that Gu Zhiyan's heart almost melted.

Unconsciously, he let go of Chu Qianchen's hand.

At this moment, Hu Hu came quickly and Fu Er said something to Chu Qianchen in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

Chu Qianchen nodded, leaned over and rubbed Gu Zhiyan's head and said, "Qiniang, you take care of Yue Ying here, I'll be back soon."

The little maid from Wanyan Court brought a box of shredded chicken for Gu Zhiyan to feed the kitten.

Gu Zhiyan now has a cat and everything is ready, so she nodded obediently.

She sat down next to the cat's nest, sometimes petting the kitten, and sometimes feeding it a piece of shredded boiled chicken.

Chu Qianchen left Hu Hue here to take care of her while he returned to the small study.

Next to the window, a young man in Tsing Yi was sitting with his legs crossed, eating salt and pepper peanuts, casually, with a leisurely posture, he almost regarded this place as his own home.

Seeing his comfortable look, Chu Qianchen thought he knew the truth and asked: "Xue Fengyan, is there any news about the prince?"

Xue Fengyan threw another peanut into his mouth, chewed it, shook his head and said, "I didn't find the prince."

Chu Qianchen: "..."

Chu Qianchen was pouring scented tea for himself. When he heard this, the teapot in his hand shook slightly, and even some tea spilled.

The puddle of tea stains on the coffee table looked shocking.

Chu Qianchen turned to look at Xue Fengyan speechlessly, expressing her contempt with her eyes.

So many of them can't even do such a simple thing!

Although she didn't say a word, Xue Fengyan also understood that she was saying that they were useless.

Xue Fengyan touched his nose and felt that he could not bear this useless reputation in vain.

Besides, if he is "useless", wouldn't it ruin the reputation of Prince Chen's Mansion?

Xue Fengyan quickly took out the letter from Fei Ge that he had just received and put it on the table, "Read it yourself."

After Chu Qianchen poured himself tea, he picked up the Flying Pigeon Letter and read it at a glance.

The handwriting on the silk paper is like dragons and phoenixes, very wild and very familiar. At first glance, it is written by Qin Yao. In just a few lines, he clearly explained the cause and effect. At the end, he also emphasized that he felt that Tang Yuchu would not be able to find Gu Jue.

The signature is a big red seal with the word "Xiguang" printed on it.

Qin Yao, courtesy name Xiguang.

His name was given by Gu Jue.

After Chu Qianchen read it, he handed the Flying Pigeon Letter back to Xue Fengyan, still looking at him with contempt and disgust.

It’s only half a day away.

If Tang Yuchu had exchanged two more thousand-mile horses on his way to the northwest, he should be able to catch up.

Wouldn't they send an extra person just in case? He's so incompetent that he can't even do such small things well.

Xue Fengyan: "..."

Xue Fengyan was so watched by her that the peanuts in his mouth no longer tasted good.

He touched his nose, stood up from the chair, and said dryly: "Anyway, I just came to tell you first, and we will find a solution."

"What can be done?" Chu Qianchen asked.

She asked casually, and glanced sideways with a light and airy look, which was clear and cold, making Xue Fengyan couldn't help but feel awe, and inexplicably thought of their prince.

Xue Fengyan: "..."

Xue Fengyan touched his nose again, feeling a little gloomy.

If the person the emperor proposed to marry was not Chu Qianchen, this matter would not be easier to handle.

They just let the emperor make a fuss and mess around with the three books and six etiquettes. Anyway, on the wedding day, when the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion is closed, he wants to see who dares to break into Prince Chen's Mansion. Don't even think about carrying the bride's sedan chair. Come into the palace!

The woman given by the emperor was chosen by the emperor, so wouldn’t it be most appropriate for the emperor to marry her back himself? !

However, this method is not suitable for Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen saved Yun Zhan's life, and the prince relied on her for his injuries. More importantly, the prince obviously regarded her as one of his own, just like Su Mubai, Yun Zhan, Cheng Linhua, and Tang Yuchu. It's one of our own.

They certainly can't treat "one of their own" like this.

Xue Fengyan also felt worried.

The wedding has already been postponed once. If it is postponed again, the emperor, who has always been suspicious, may become suspicious, and this time they cannot guarantee that they can stop the emperor like last time.

If you don't get it right, it might be revealed that the prince is not in the capital.

Seeing Xue Fengyan speechless, Chu Qianchen felt that he was even more useless and glanced at him coldly.

There was silence in the small study.

"Meow!"

There was a faint call from the little black cat outside, mixed with Gu Zhiyan's voice calling "Yueyue".

Chu Qianchen took a sip of scented tea and said in a tone that could not be questioned: "The prince's absence in the capital must not be revealed."

Because of the lessons learned from the previous dynasty, the Great Qi Dynasty was afraid that the clan would rebel. As early as the time of Emperor Taizu, the Daqi Dynasty had set a law: leaving the capital without a decree was a capital crime, and at the very least, it would have to be confiscated and imprisoned.

The prince cannot have any leverage in the emperor's hands. Even if the emperor can't do anything to the prince, the queen mother in the palace is equivalent to the hostage in the emperor's hands and is the prince's biggest constraint.

As long as the Queen Mother is around, there is no way that the Prince will really turn against the Emperor and force her into the palace.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, the prince has too many worries. He has to worry about the queen mother, the Northland Army, and arrange a way out for the people around him, including himself...

The prince is always so wise and calm, so determined, like a towering mountain, guarding them.

In this life, it's my turn.

Chu Qianchen's eyes were slightly sour, and she used the action of drinking tea to cover up her gaffe.

She asked again as if nothing had happened: "Have you all discussed it?"

Xue Fengyan replied: "I will come as soon as I receive the letter from Fei Ge."

The implication is that he has not discussed it with Su Mubai and Cheng Linhua.

Chu Qianchen looked at him with contempt again.

This guy is so unreliable, whatever comes his way will come rain or shine! Just like in the previous life, sometimes my mind gets dizzy!

Under Chu Qianchen's contemptuous gaze, Xue Fengyan couldn't stay any longer. He waved his hand and ran away, remembering to take away the plate of peanuts.

Although he walked over the walls, there was not a single peanut missing along the way except for the ones that fell into his mouth.

When Xue Fengyan returned to the palace, it was already Shenchu, and the main hall of the palace was full of people and very lively.

On weekdays, only Yun Zhan and Cheng Linhua stayed in the palace. After receiving Qin Yao's flying pigeon message today, they quickly sent someone to inform Su Mubai and others, and then everyone quickly gathered at the palace.

As soon as Xue Fengyan arrived, everyone looked at him with burning eyes, and most of their eyes were a little tangled.

"Long wait." Xue Fengyan said without sincerity.

Having been despised by Chu Qianchen several times in the Hou Mansion, he now has a thicker skin and feels that their looks are nothing.

Everyone has been waiting for Xue Fengyan here for a while, and they have drank several cups of tea.

Yun Zhan was the first to ask with some eagerness: "What did Miss Chu say?"

The current situation is a bit complicated, so as soon as he received the letter from Fei Ge, Yun Zhan asked Xue Fengyan to inform Chu Qianchen, which was more or less intended to test Chu Qianchen's mouth.

Under so many looks, Xue Fengyan said casually: "She said she knew, let us discuss it before going to her."

"By the way, she said that the prince's departure from Beijing should not be leaked, and the rest can be done at will..."

"Kachi kachi..."

Xue Fengyan bit into the crispy peanuts.

The others looked at each other, shocked again by Chu Qianchen's attitude.

Chapter division is because some people say that I only update it once a day (laughing and crying).

The wedding is coming soon~ This book has the most emotional scenes among my three books, and I can’t say there are few emotional scenes, hahahaha.
