Chapter 141 141 Facts (Second update)
Shen: “…”
Shen's pupils slowly shrank into a pitch black point.
Grandma Chen did not think that this matter had anything to do with Chu Qianhuang, and hurriedly explained: "I am very sure that the eldest lady was talking to the maid outside the hall at that time. It is impossible for her to hear what Madam you and the servant said."
Judging from Chu Qianhuang's position, it was really impossible to hear them. At that time, Shen not only lowered her voice deliberately when speaking, but also asked all the servants to wait in the corridor.
However, it was as if a thorn had been buried in Shen's heart, and the thorn made her heart ache.
Is it really impossible? !
In the past, she felt that it was impossible for Sister Huang to do things that would harm others and not benefit herself, such as provoking sisters, but what was the result?
In the past, she felt that Sister Huang was brilliant, but what was the reality?
Grandma Chen’s heartstrings were tense.
Mrs. Shen closed her eyes again, and then asked in a dry voice: "Sister Huang, when will she return home next time?"
On weekdays, Chu Qianhuang usually returned to the government for three days every ten days. The last time he returned to the government was because the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to recruit Chu Qianchen.
Grandma Chen counted the days and replied: "Seven days later."
These three words made her throat tighten, and she realized what Shen meant by asking.
Aunt Chen hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice: "Madam, it's impossible."
She actually had no confidence in what she said, but she really couldn't think of any reason for Chu Qianhuang to do this.
Not sure whether it was to convince herself or Mrs. Shen, she couldn't help but said a few more words: "Madam, you are checking about the second girl and Aunt Jiang. What does this have to do with the eldest girl? Big girl. There’s no reason for me to help Aunt Jiang.”
"Besides, the eldest lady has no contact with Aunt Jiang..."
"Do you still remember," Mrs. Shen suddenly interrupted Nanny Chen, "do you still remember that Mei'er said that she saw Sister Huang 'that day'?"
Shen's voice was tight and slightly hoarse.
The "day" she mentioned was the day in March when Chu Yunmu fell off the rockery.
When the incident involving Aunt Cui happened, Chu Qianhuang said very frankly that she was going to the rockery to pick flowers.
However, from that moment on, there was a thorn in Shen's heart.
Occasionally, a terrible thought would pop up in her mind, but she would suppress it every time, saying to herself, Chu Yunmu is Chu Qianhuang's biological brother, how is this possible!
But now, because of Grandma Yu's death, this thorn has pierced deeper and deeper into Shen's heart.
During these days, she often had a dream.
In the dream, she was walking in a thick fog with no sky, and even her eyes seemed to be covered by a veil.
She could only keep walking forward in the fog, and occasionally the night wind would bring some familiar yet unfamiliar sounds.
She patiently walked forward, and finally, she seemed to see a faint light ahead...
When she felt that she was just a little bit closer to getting out of the fog, she suddenly woke up.
It felt like something was flashing through her mind at this very moment, as if something was about to come out...
"Madam, the second girl is here!"
The eldest maid Dongmei's voice sounded outside the curtain, and Mrs. Shen suddenly shuddered and came to her senses.
Aunt Chen answered on behalf of Shen, and Dongmei led Chu Qianchen into the Dongci Room. Behind them was Aunt Lan Ruo from Shouning Palace.
At the same time, another little maid went to invite little Eunuch Li over.
Young Eunuch Li had long been impatient with waiting. If the Crown Princess had not instructed him to send the invitation to the future Princess Chen, he would have left the invitation and left.
After walking into the East Room, little Eunuch Li turned his face like a book and put on a pleasing smile. The little maid in the main courtyard admired him and secretly thought that he was indeed a father-in-law from the palace.
"I've met Mrs. Hou, I've met Miss Chu Er."
Young Eunuch Li bowed to Mrs. Shen and Chu Qianchen respectfully, and then took out the apricot-yellow post that had been prepared, "The Crown Princess ordered me to send this invitation to the second girl Chu, please invite the third girl." In the future, we will go to the palace to have a banquet in Furong Garden.”
"Girls, there is no need to be too solemn. All those who are going are boys and girls of about the same age. They will just play polo and enjoy the flowers." Little Eunuch Li said with a smile, also reminding Chu Qianchen in advance Get your riding gear ready.
Chu Qianchen obediently pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Excuse me, father-in-law." She motioned to Lan Ruo to go over and take the post.
She wanted to go out for a walk. Since the emperor's imperial edict of marriage was issued, apart from going to Prince Chen's Mansion every two or three days to show off as a miracle doctor, she had hardly been out. It would be nice to go out to relax. good.
and…
An unusually bright light flashed across Chu Qianchen's eyes.
Although Young Eunuch Li only said that the young masters and noble ladies would attend the banquet, and did not mention that Wuhejialou would also go, Chu Qianchen was better informed than Shen. She had an informant in Prince Chen's Palace and had already listened to Xue Feng's speech in advance. He learned that Prince Gu Nanjin also invited Wuhe Jialou.
If Prince Gu Nanjin just wanted to invite people to play polo and enjoy flowers together, then there was no need to specially invite Wuhajialou. Most likely, the prince's real target is Garuda.
The prince said last time that Wuhejialou was extremely intelligent and an extraordinary genius who could see the subtle things.
There are only a handful of people in the world who can receive such praise from the prince. Jialou is still staying in the capital, probably because of the prince.
Although Chu Qianchen had never made it clear to the other party, she could tell that Jia Lou might have already guessed that the Seven Star Grass was for the prince.
But even so, this man still gave her the Seven Star Grass as promised.
Chu Qianchen was thinking, but the expression on his face did not change at all. It was always gentle, gentle, and as soft as a cute and harmless white rabbit.
She didn't even ask Lan Ruo if she wanted the post, and the post was always in Lan Ruo's hand.
Young Eunuch Li was quite satisfied with what he saw and heard, and clasped his hands again, "I want to go back to the Crown Princess, so I'll take my leave first."
Mrs. Shen was about to ask Nanny Chen to help see off the guests, but Young Eunuch Li was one step ahead and said: "Aunt Lanruo, the Queen Mother still has something to tell her, so I'll trouble her to see her off for me."
He was going to call Lan Ruo away openly and openly. Shen frowned and felt unhappy.
Chu Qianchen turned to look at the serious Lan Ruo next to him, and said softly: "Aunt Lan Ruo, just send your father-in-law off."
"Yes, girl." Lan Ruo responded politely. The fingers holding the invitation card subconsciously used a little force, but the serious mask on her face was still firmly on.
Those of them who have managed to reach this position in the palace would have died of fear eleven thousand times if they couldn't even express their emotions and anger.
She considers herself to be an old goblin who has been tempered many times, but she still...
Facing Chu Qianchen's phoenix eyes as clear as moonlight, Lan Ruo shuddered in her heart: This is simply a vixen with nine tails!
Lan Ruo respectfully escorted Young Eunuch Li out of the main courtyard, followed by two maids from the Hou Mansion.
Young Eunuch Li walked along, looking at the surrounding courtyard and servants casually, and picked out at least twenty or thirty things in his mind. Thinking back on everything that happened in the Hou Mansion today, I became even more disdainful of Yongding Hou Mansion.
When there was no one else around, Little Eunuch Li lowered his voice and said, "I see that Miss Chu Er is gentle and easy to get along with. You have been serving her for several days. What do you think of her?"
While he was speaking, two gray sparrows fluttered past from behind, their wings flapping against several bushes, causing a "rustling" sound.
Lan Ruo was startled and looked back, feeling like there was a pair of eyes staring at her from a dark place somewhere.
"The girl does have a good temper." She said softly, her expression numb.
Little Eunuch Li didn't pay attention to Lan Ruo's look. He listened, walked forward, and asked again: "How are you doing with Miss Chu's rules? The Queen Mother said, you don't have to be too impatient, teach them slowly."
He seemed to be worried that there were ears across the wall in the Hou Mansion, and he was very tactful when asking questions.
Lan Ruo understood clearly and picked up what the other party wanted to hear and said: "The girl has learned very well, and she has always been grateful for the kindness of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother."
Little Eunuch Li was completely relieved and thought to himself: It seems that Lan Ruo has really trained her well. That's right. The concubine who can't get into the spotlight just needs a little shock. She doesn't dare to do anything for the sake of the Chu family. What a moth.
"That's good." Young Eunuch Li said with a smile on his face, "Then I will go back and report to the Queen Mother."
Lan Ruo sent the person to the Yimen, and Little Eunuch Li walked away triumphantly. Lan Ruo returned to the main courtyard. Chu Qianchen was chatting with the Shen family, and her smiling look was completely different from the taciturn and meek look she had before. people.
When Lan Ruo entered the room, Chu Qianchen raised his eyes and glanced at her.
Her glance was casual, but it made Lan Ruo tremble violently, and her face paled visibly.
Go ahead, monthly ticket!
