Chapter 153 153 Newlywed

Su Mubai maintained his bowing posture, as motionless as a stone sculpture, and admitted his mistake again: "Your Majesty, I will finally realize that I was wrong."

Gu Jue suddenly stood up and gently touched his robe, "I am still alive, but you still insist on having your own way. If I am gone, how can I entrust the people of Prince Chen's Palace to you?"

His cold voice was both close and far away, making people feel unreachable.

Su Mubai is smart, but the problem is that he is too calculating.

Not only does he plot against his opponents, he also plots against his own people. In order to achieve his goal, he uses any means. It may have unexpected miraculous effects in a short period of time, but in the long run, it will only make the people of Prince Chen's house dispirited.

People like Cheng Linhua, Tang Yuchu, Yun Zhan...including Chu Qianchen, they can endure Su Mubai's calculations this time for themselves, but it does not mean that what Su Mubai did is right. How can they accept it twice, three times, or even countless times? A calculation of times?

Su Mubai only saw immediate benefits, but not the overall situation!

Gu Jue glanced at him again with a calm look and walked past him casually.

Su Mubai: "..."

Su Mubai's complexion changed slightly, his heart suddenly sank, and he knelt directly on the smooth ground.

This time, he remained silent.

Gu Jue neither stayed nor looked back at him, and went straight out of the study room.

Yun Zhan, Cheng Linhua, Xue Fengyan and others looked at each other in shock. No one dared to stop Gu Jue, and no one persuaded Su Mubai to get up.

Xue Fengyan touched his nose. This Su Mubai is really capable. He has never seen anyone make the prince so angry!

Tang Yuchu glanced at the empty door and punched Su Mubai in the abdomen without saying a word.

Su Mubai groaned and received the punch.

Tang Yuchu patted Su Mubai on the shoulder with a smile, and comforted him without any sincerity: "Bless yourself. By the way, you owe me a meal, and you have to go to Yunting Pavilion to eat it."

Tang Yuchu wandered away, yawning. He accompanied the prince to rush back to the capital day and night, and he didn't sleep for several days.

He needs to sleep for a day and a night first!

Tang Yuchu walked to the southwest corner of the palace and returned to his own courtyard in the outer courtyard; while Gu Jue returned to the main courtyard of the inner courtyard - Qingyao Hall.

Chu Qianchen had already eaten noodles, washed away all her beauty, and freshened up. She changed out of the cumbersome and complicated red wedding dress. Now she was wearing a light bright red Luo shirt, and her hair was combed again. After doing some editing, he looked comfortable and leisurely.

Seeing Gu Jue return, Chu Qianchen smiled at him naturally, with a sweet and joyful smile.

"Your Majesty, would you like some tea?" She looked at him eagerly.

Gu Jue: "..."

There was originally a trace of unspeakable anxiety in Gu Jue's heart, but when he met her beautiful and clear eyes, the anxiety disappeared in an instant.

It's like a breeze blowing gently through my heart, causing tiny ripples to form in the lake of my heart, rippling away in circles.

Suddenly, he heard himself say "ok".

Chu Qianchen's smile became more cheerful and more delicate. He felt that making tea for the prince was not casual, so he quickly asked Hu Bo to bring a stove and a kettle.

Gu Jue: "..."

Looking at the carefree little girl in front of him, Gu Jue felt a little helpless.

He rarely felt this way, and he didn't know what to do with this girl.

This silly girl didn’t even know she was deceived by Su Mubai!

Has she ever thought about how she would be criticized if he didn't come back today if she married him in the name of happiness?

People's words are scary.

On the way here from the outer study room, Gu Jue originally had a lot of things to say to her, but now it felt like he was punched in cotton.

In just a few breaths, his mood changed several times, and his eyes were filled with warmth.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to carrying everything on his back, and has become accustomed to everyone's admiration for him.

But this time, he had to put all his hope and his life in others, entrusting it to the young girl in front of him. This was really a very fresh feeling.

The two of them were connected because of this marriage.

For this girl, he not only had to work hard to survive, but also had to learn to trust her and believe that she could save him.

Gu Jue adjusted his mood in a very short period of time.

The matter has come to this, and being upset and regretful will not help.

After putting down the stove and kettle, Amber hurriedly retreated, leaving the whole place to her uncle and the girl.

Chu Qianchen made tea for Gu Jue with quick hands and feet, and then personally delivered the tea cup to him in a flattering manner, "Your Highness, drink tea."

She kept smiling, thinking that Su Mubai had probably been scolded before, so it was better for her to pretend to be good.

Gu Jue took the tea, smelled the aroma, and drank the tea slowly. His movements were so elegant and pleasing to the eye.

Chu Qianchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he seemed to have passed another level.

After Gu Jue drank half a cup of tea, he put down the tea cup, and then handed his left hand to Chu Qianchen, "Feel for my pulse."

He looked at her steadily with his narrow eyes, as clear as water.

Chu Qianchen was stunned and keenly felt an extremely subtle change taking place in Gu Jue.

In the past, although he cooperated with her treatment, that was all. He just cooperated. Deep in his heart, he did not fully believe that she could save him.

However, he seems to be a little different now.

Did something good happen in the northwest?

While Chu Qianchen was thinking, he stretched out three fingers and put them on Gu Jue's wrist, carefully feeling the pulse under his fingers, and frowned slightly...

The prince has been taking medicine obediently during this period, but his body was already riddled with holes. This trip to the northwest was a long way, and the prince was in a hurry and marching to fight, which made it worse. Overwork led to physical exhaustion. He is now The situation is not very good.

Although the prince seemed to be in good spirits on the outside, she knew that he must be holding on, just like in his previous life...

Chu Qianchen took out a small pastel porcelain bottle from the box next to him and poured out a brown pill the size of a finger.

"Open your mouth."

She fed Chu Yunmu pills and sweets like this on weekdays, and put the pills into Gu Jue's mouth smoothly.

Gu Jue was slightly startled, fluttered his eyelashes twice, opened his mouth to hold the pill, and then swallowed it with the tea.

"I'm here to perform acupuncture on you." Chu Qianchen took Gu Jue's wrist and walked towards the bed.

As early as when Gu Jue entertained Wu Hejialou in the front yard, she had already prepared the medicine box, candles and water basin. Everything was ready, and she was just waiting for Gu Jue to return to the room. If he doesn't come back, she will send someone to call him.

"What you just took is Dazao Pills, which can strengthen the body and strengthen the body. With the help of acupuncture, you can get twice the result with half the effort." Chu Qianchen said.

Gu Jue was very cooperative. When Chu Qianchen asked him to undress, he undressed; when she asked him to lie down, he lay down.

Soon, he was lying on the couch wearing only his white shirt, with his shiny black hair spread out on the porcelain pillow.

Chu Qianchen took the golden needle from the needle bag, burned it with a candle, and then solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I'm starting..."

After a pause, she added: "It won't hurt."

Gu Jue tugged the corner of his mouth slightly and said "hmm", with a slight smile in his pupils.

He certainly believed in her medical skills. He had also seen her perform acupuncture on Yun Zhan and Qin Yao, and her acupuncture skills were superb.

The candle flame on the wedding candle next to him swayed slightly, reflecting in his narrow eyes, a pair of starry eyes, overflowing with light.

Chu Qianchen felt as if she had been teased by Gu Jue. She calmed down and concentrated on giving him the injection.

She applied the needles very quickly, and soon, Gu Jue's body was covered with golden needles.

"Don't move." Chu Qianchen warned him, then got up and went to light the soothing incense for Gu Jue himself, thinking: Su Mubai's idea is actually a good one. If she gets married, she can keep an eye on the prince carefully, otherwise he will definitely ask for it again. Be patient!

No matter what, his pulse can never fool him!

Chu Qianchen curled his lower lip confidently and made up his mind to check Gu Jue's pulse every morning and evening from now on.

"Close your eyes and sleep for a while." Chu Qianchen said while starting to massage Gu Jue's acupoints again.

Gu Jue closed his eyes and asked softly: "Do you have any words?"

Chu Qianchen nodded first, then realized that he had his eyes closed. With a thought, he changed his words: "No, does the prince want to get one for me?"

Gu Jue opened his eyes again and met a pair of autumn-filled phoenix eyes.

The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, and then Gu Jue said: "Okay."

The corners of Chu Qianchen's lips curled up, as if he had obtained something treasure, and he said happily: "Then please leave it to the prince!"

Is she that happy? ! Gu Jue's eyes flashed and he closed his eyes again.

In the new house, cigarette smoke curled up and the soothing incense filled the air quietly.

Gu Jue had been working hard all the way back. He was exhausted both mentally and physically. He was at the end of his game and was just holding on with a strong will.

Under the combined effect of acupuncture and soothing incense, Gu Jue felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he soon fell asleep, and his breathing became smooth and long.

Chu Qianchen sat beside the couch and stared at his peaceful sleeping face.

His eyelashes were long and thick, casting a light shadow on his eye sockets, making him look more docile and harmless than usual.

Gradually, beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.

This means that his body is starting to heat up.

Chu Qianchen curled his lower lip with satisfaction and watched him quietly.

It wasn't until the hourglass on the side had finished dripping that she put away all the gold needles on his body, then dipped a handkerchief in some warm water and carefully wiped away the sweat from his temples.

The dragon and phoenix wedding candle on the desk is still burning, the candle flame is swaying, and the red candle tears are slowly flowing down the wedding candle...

When Gu Jue opened his eyes, the pair of red wedding candles were half burned.

He blinked slowly and realized that he had just fallen asleep, and that he was still sleeping soundly.

He has not been able to sleep well over the years. At first, it was because he had to be alert all the time on the battlefield. Later, his old injuries became more and more serious, and he became more and more restless at night.

But now, his body is warm, unlike before, even in the hot summer, his limbs were always cold, and his limbs often felt slightly numb after waking up.

Gu Jue moved his fingers, but unexpectedly, his tentacles touched the soft and warm green hair, and his fingers suddenly froze.

He sat up from the couch and found that Chu Qianchen was sleeping beside the couch.

The girl used her arms as a pillow, exposing half of her face. The bangs on her forehead were a little messy due to the lying motion, revealing her smooth and jade-like forehead.

Chu Qianchen slept lightly. As soon as Gu Jue got up, she woke up immediately and opened her eyes.

Her eyes were a little confused, as if she didn't know where she was, then her eyes widened suddenly, she straightened up and met Gu Jue's eyes, and she was completely awake in an instant.

"My lord, you're awake! I'll check your pulse again."

As she spoke, she stretched out her fingers to explore Gu Jue's wrist again. This time, the corners of her mouth curved up.

good!

Chu Qianchen smiled with satisfaction, "The Dazao pill is indeed effective for the prince. From today on, I will take one pill every day. I will prescribe another prescription for the prince..."

She was about to stand up, but Gu Jue grabbed her wrist.

"There's no rush." ​​Gu Jue said helplessly. As if to verify his words, the sound of gongs and drums at the fourth watch was heard in the distance.

Only then did Chu Qianchen realize that it was getting late.

Kohaku must have rested too. Chu Qianchen thought to himself and didn't try to get up again.

The prince is right, there is no rush.

Now is different from the previous life. They still have time, and she can take it step by step, steadily.

Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled, revealing a pair of shallow pear dimples.

There are still a few indentations on her cheeks left by sleeping on her stomach, and her temples are slightly messy, like a cat that hasn't woken up, with a bit more liveliness and playfulness that are rarely seen in daily life.

Gu Jue looked at her with a smile.

She is just a girl who has not yet had haircuts, and this is how she should be.

"Go to sleep." Gu Jue suddenly moved and moved inside, "Tomorrow morning, we have to enter the palace."

He had just woken up, and his voice was still a little hoarse. In this silent night, it sounded particularly intimate.

Chu Qianchen was used to listening to his words and subconsciously responded.

After she agreed, she felt something was wrong, but when she thought about it again, nothing seemed wrong.

They got married today, so it made sense for them to sleep together.

She felt a little dizzy, her mind was empty, and she lay down following her intuition.

She was also tired. She had just slept on her stomach and had not slept well. After closing her eyes, sleepiness quickly came over her.

The sound of steady breathing came from the side, telling Gu Jue that she was asleep.

She fell asleep with her back to him, her fists clenched tightly, and her tense posture revealed some alertness and preparedness, as if she would wake up from her sleep at any time.

Gu Jue looked at Chu Qianchen quietly. She was just a little girl, not a soldier in the army. What was it that made her so wary even when she fell asleep?

What kind of life was she living in the Chu family?

Thinking of the Chu family and Chu Lingxiao, a faint light quickly flashed across Gu Jue's eyes.

He crossed his left arm and wanted to tuck the corner of the quilt for her. Unexpectedly, she reacted immediately in her sleep. She raised her hand and grabbed his forearm, and then hugged him.

Gu Jue: "..."

They were so close, so close that he could feel her body temperature coming out of her shirt...

Gu Jue froze. He had never been so close to a woman.

He wanted her to let him go, but he thought she was sleeping lightly and couldn't bear to wake her up.

He struggled slightly, but she hugged his arm tighter and called: "Your Majesty..."

She murmured in a low voice, making coquettish cooing sounds from her mouth and nose. Her expression and tone revealed absolute trust and no defense.

This kind of trust made Gu Jue feel even more helpless.

This girl is so stupid, he doesn't know what to do with her...

He adjusted his posture and lay on his side, with his chest and her back only an inch apart.

He could smell the fragrance coming from her body, lingering in his nose. It was faint, like the scent of falling snow and winter plums, which made him feel very at ease.

Does she feel the same way about him?

Gu Jue thought drowsily and fell asleep unconsciously.

The new house became quiet again, except for the big red wedding candle, which was still burning brightly and occasionally making a small crackling sound.

The dragon and phoenix wedding candles, which were as thick as a baby's arm, burned until dawn before being extinguished.

It was still Gu Jue who woke up first.

He has been in the army all year round and has always had a regular schedule. He does not need anyone to call him. He opens his eyes at a fixed time every morning. It is like this every morning. The difference is not more than half a cup of tea. It is as if there is a person inside him. Like a pot leaking.

Today, when he woke up, it was still the beginning of the new year.

The little girl next to him was still asleep, thinking that she didn't sleep for long last night, so he didn't move, hoping to let her sleep a little longer.

This was Gu Jue's original plan.

However, the next moment, Amber's slightly hesitant call came from outside the house: "Aunt...Princess, Prince."

Chu Qianchen immediately opened his eyes, sat up from the couch, and said to himself, "By the way, I'm going to the palace today."

She was still a little dazed in her sleep, and didn't even realize she was holding Gu Jue's arm.

Gu Jue retracted his arm and moved twice.

He was about to get up, but Chu Qianchen said again: "Your Majesty, I can enter the palace alone today."

Gu Jue's hard work all the way can't be recovered by just one night's rest.

"You just came back and need to rest." Chu Qianchen said naturally. She was used to making decisions and facing everything by herself.

This girl! The feeling of powerlessness reappeared in Gu Jue's heart, and he said lightly: "Together."

Chu Qianchen: "..."

Chu Qianchen actually felt that there was really no need for Gu Jue to enter the palace, but since he said so, she agreed obediently.

When Amber walked in, what he saw was the scene of the couple singing and the wife accompanying each other, and she didn't look away.

She took the little maids and quickly went to help Chu Qianchen dress and comb his hair. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner and the food was served.

Originally there were no maids in Prince Chen's Mansion, only some rough ladies who were responsible for cleaning the inner courtyard. Now these maids in the Prince's Mansion are all brought by Chu Qianchen as dowry. Aunt Cai knew that Hu Hu was Chu Qianchen's maid, so she put all the wives in the palace under her control.

Amber was very capable. In just one night, everything was taken care of without Chu Qianchen having to worry about anything.

After Chu Qianchen ate half a bowl of green rice porridge, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and told Hu Hu, "Go find Cheng Changshi and ask if the carriage is ready?"

In fact, asking about the carriage was secondary. Chu Qianchen's idea was to remind Cheng Linhua not to prepare a horse, but to prepare a carriage.

"Yes, Princess." Amber knelt down and blessed her, and looked at Gu Jue calmly.

She had served Chu Qianchen personally for nearly half a year, and she had developed a tacit understanding of him and understood what her master meant.

Amber lowered her eyebrows and retreated toward the front yard.

A woman from the palace followed her and showed her the way.

Prince Chen's Mansion is very big. Although Hu Hue has followed Chu Qianchen here several times in the past, each time they went to a few fixed places, just a small corner of the front yard of the Prince's Mansion.

Now she was walking on the road from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, looking at the scattered buildings around her, and walking among the towering ancient trees and winding verandahs. Only then did she realize how big the palace was. It was at least as big as two princes' palaces. The path is secluded, quiet and elegant.

But because of its size, it seemed very deserted. Amber walked for a while and hardly saw anyone along the way, as if he was in an empty house with no one around.

"Miss Hu Hu, go this way." The mother-in-law pointed in the direction, smiling attentively and ingratiatingly, "Cheng Changshi and the others should be in the Qiongbi Hall."

Everyone knows that the prince values ​​​​the princess, and this Amber girl is the popular person in front of the princess. It is conceivable that in the future, nine out of ten will be kept by the prince's side as a steward.

Qiongbi Hall is the largest main hall in the front yard. At this moment, there are many people sitting in the hall. Cheng Linhua is there, Xue Fengyan, Yun Zhan, and Mo Chen are also there. They are in the hall, and only Su Mubai is outside. , still kneeling obediently in the courtyard.

Amber also knew Su Mubai and wondered why he was kneeling here, but he didn't show any signs of it on his face and walked past Su Mubai without any hesitation.

Several men in the hall were talking, but now, all their eyes turned to Amber.

Amber knelt down to Cheng Linhua and said, "Cheng Changshi, the princess has told her to prepare a car. She and the prince will enter the palace together."

Originally, there was no need to worry about such a trivial matter as preparing a car. However, Amber had just arrived and did not know the managers of the palace, so Chu Qianchen asked her to come to Cheng Linhua to get to know the people in the palace.

Hearing what Amber said, Cheng Linhua suddenly felt confident.

They are also waiting for the prince here. In the past, when the prince lived in the outer courtyard, it was easy for them to ask for advice if anything happened, but it was different now, the prince's palace now had a mistress.

Today is the day for the two dynasties to congratulate each other. Logically speaking, the prince should accompany the princess to the palace, go to pay respects to the queen mother, go to the Ancestral Temple to pay homage to the late emperor, and also acknowledge relatives of the royal family members.

The prince didn't show up early in the morning, so they were a little confused. They didn't know what the prince and princess had planned today.

Cheng Linhua said quickly: "Don't worry, Miss Hu Hu, the carriage and horses are all ready."

Amber corrected: "The princess said not to saddle the horse."

Cheng Linhua: "..."

So, the princess wants the prince to ride on her Zhulun chariot?

Anyway, he just listens to the princess.

Cheng Linhua immediately decided to listen to Chu Qianchen and agreed with a smile, and then said: "Miss Hu Hu, when the prince and princess come back from the palace, whenever they are free, I will ask the stewards to pay their respects to the princess."

He said it was to say hello, but in fact the main purpose was to recognize the person.

Amber finished explaining and left.

Looking at her back, Cheng Linhua smiled, overjoyed.

In the past, there was no princess in the palace, which made him, the head of the palace, just like an old woman, having to take care of all the chores. But things will be better in the future, because there is a princess in charge of the palace.

Cheng Linhua was in a good mood, and his eyes softened when he looked at Su Mubai who was kneeling outside. He sighed, "Fortunately, the prince didn't get angry with the princess..."

Yesterday, the prince was so angry at Su Mubai that Cheng Linhua was really worried that the prince would also turn his anger on the princess.

Yun Zhan was relieved in his heart, but he said in hindsight: "That's right! The prince is so eager to go to the wedding in person, and he will definitely not anger Princess Chu..."

Xue Fengyan crossed his legs and leaned lazily on the chair. He glanced sideways at Yunzhan and said, "An afterthought!"

Everyone else burst into laughter, and even Mo Chen twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.

While they were joking, they couldn't help but look at Su Mubai again, and once again lamented that Su Mubai was so courageous that he even dared to scheme against the prince's marriage!

While sighing, they had to admit that Su Mubai did a great job this time.

only…

Cheng Linhua and others exchanged tacit glances with each other, thinking together: They would never admit this to this **** Su Mubai.

This guy still deserves punishment and a beating!

Although no one said anything, Su Mubai could probably guess what they were thinking. Anyway, he just knelt down to the prince to calm down.

He didn't kneel in vain that night. He thought about the prince's words over and over again and pondered the prince's deep meaning.

Just as the prince said, he was wrong.

The result was good, but he made a lot of mistakes in this matter.

However, the prince also said one thing wrong. Prince Chen's Mansion would not go as far as the prince said.

Maybe if he hadn't met the princess, the prince would have had to hand over Prince Chen's mansion to him, but it's different now...

"The prince and princess are here."

Sharp-eyed Yun Zhan was the first to see Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen coming together, and quickly stood up.
