Chapter 175 175 Soft Rice (Second Update)

Mrs. Mu Guogong felt relieved. She knew that the most difficult stage for her daughter had passed.

Even if you want to settle accounts, you have to do it step by step, one step at a time. Anyway, if the monk can run away, he can't run away from the temple. Their Duke Mu's Mansion will not suffer such a big loss just like this!

Mrs. Mu Guogong and Mu Guogong exchanged a look calmly.

In the distance, the sound of a gong was heard, piercing through the thick night like a sharp arrow.

Shen turned her head and looked out the window. The night was as dark as ink and as cold as water.

She couldn't wait, looking forward to tomorrow coming soon so that she could see Chu Qianchen again...

Soon, Dongmei opened the curtain and came in. With a smile on her face, she said, "Madam, just now the carriage from Prince Chen's Palace arrived outside the Duke's Palace. Who do you think is here?"

Dongmei didn't mean to show off, she just wanted to make Mrs. Shen happy.

The answer to her question was obvious. Aunt Chen asked cooperatively: "Is it His Highness King Chen?"

"That's right!" Dongmei said happily.

Mrs. Shen was surprised at first and then relieved. That's good!

Duke Mu and his wife looked at each other again, with a little surprise in their eyes.

On the contrary, when Grandma Chen recalled what she saw and heard in Prince Chen's Mansion, she felt that she was not surprised at all.

Grandma Chen said again: "Madam, I went to Prince Chen's Mansion today. Before the Second Aunt Grandma could speak, His Highness Prince Chen took the initiative to ask her to come to the Duke's Mansion to see you..."

Nanny Chen knew that in the past, Mrs. Shen was worried that Chu Qianchen would be wronged in Prince Chen's Mansion. Now, judging from various behaviors of Prince Chen, it at least showed that Prince Chen still valued Chu Qianchen.

Shen's brows relaxed slightly, and so did the two elders.

They were originally worried that Chu Qianchen would be unhappy with both parties if she married into Prince Chen's palace, but now it seems that her situation is better than originally expected.

Duke Mu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "King Chen is not an unreasonable person."

Chu Qianchen also didn't expect that Gu Jue would come to pick him up.

At this moment, she had already boarded Gu Jue's carriage, with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty!"

Amber felt that she was a little redundant and automatically sat next to the driver.

In the capital city at night, the streets were deserted, and Prince Chen's carriage occupied the entire street alone.

Taking the warm tea from Gu Jue, Chu Qianchen took the initiative and said without waiting for him to ask, "I seem to be my mother's child..."

A few rays of dim moonlight shined on her small face through the window of the carriage. The girl's eyes were clear, looking forward, with a little innocence and a little expectation.

She recounted what happened in the Duke's Mansion today, including her meeting with the monk who knew the guest.

Gu Jue leaned against the window and listened to her quietly.

The sound of horse hooves echoed clearly in the empty streets, which was particularly loud in this silent night.

By the time Chu Qianchen got off the carriage, he had almost calmed down, his face was calm, but the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

Her life experience has shaped her later on. Even if she had let go of many things in her previous life, how could she remain indifferent to all of this.

The two of them walked side by side and returned to the main courtyard, saying nothing during the whole journey.

Chu Qianchen raised her eyes and looked at the vast sky above, remembering the scene in her previous life when the prince taught her to learn about the sky and recognize the stars. She calmed down and felt that her own affairs were nothing in front of this sea of ​​stars. What's up.

"Prince..." Chu Qianchen stopped at the entrance of the courtyard and wanted to ask him if he had picked out the words for her.

At this time, Aunt Cai came up and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, the meal has just been set."

As soon as the carriage entered the house, Nanny Cai got the news and immediately asked someone to prepare a meal. The timing was perfect.

Only then did Chu Qianchen remember that he hadn't even eaten dinner and was very hungry.

but…

Chu Qianchen turned his head and looked at Gu Jue with disapproval.

It seems to be saying that the prince is really disobedient. She doesn't stare at him, and he doesn't even need dinner!

And that Yun Zhan, he drives the prince's car when he has time, but he doesn't know how to urge the prince to eat!

If Yun Zhan wasn't here now, Chu Qianchen would have given him a good lesson.

Gu Jue completely understood her expression and eyes, touched her head smoothly and said, "I'm hungry."

He smiled slightly, and his smile was like the warm sun, softening his cold and frosty features, making him look more handsome, like the spring breeze, like the bright moon.

Chu Qianchen: "..."

Chu Qianchen almost wanted to coax him for a moment, but he immediately reacted and said to himself in his heart:

No, the prince cannot be coaxed easily.

She thought so in her mind, but she couldn't be fierce at all.

Just looking at him like this, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips, and her smile was as bright as the starry sky on this summer night.

The prince is so cunning! Chu Qianchen thought. Gu Jue took her slender wrist and walked into the house.

Four simple dishes and one soup were placed on the table.

Even if Chu Qianchen didn't look at it, she still knew what was on the table. She personally went through the menu that Gu Jue ate every day, not because she didn't trust the chef, but because she was afraid that the food would conflict with the medicine Gu Jue was taking. Affects the medicinal properties. In addition, she also prepared some medicinal recipes for the kitchen, and asked the kitchen to prepare them for Gu Jue according to her instructions every day.

Aunt Cai was serving dishes to the two of them by herself. She smiled so much that her eyes narrowed. She felt that since the princess married into the palace, the originally cold palace had become popular. This mansion really needs a mistress!

By the time the two of them had dinner and washed up, it was almost the second watch.

Chu Qianchen hurriedly urged Gu Jue to rest. She felt that the prince was too disobedient. She had to make a schedule for him to remind him of the time to eat, take medicine and rest.

She also took a break early.

The set of acupuncture she had just performed on Shen was extremely exhausting, more tiring than riding a horse for a day. In addition, the sudden relief made her let go of a long-term worry. Not long after she closed her eyes, she fell asleep. On fire.

It wasn't until the sound of even breathing came from the side that Gu Jue quietly stood up.

Chu Qianchen was sleeping deeply. The slightest movement around her did not disturb her, and she did not even notice that Gu Jue had left.

Gu Jue went to the front yard and called the chief, Cheng Linhua, over.

"Tell me about the Chu family." Gu Jue motioned Cheng Linhua to sit down and asked straight to the point.

As early as a few months ago, after knowing that the miracle doctor in Jishi Hall was the daughter of the Chu family, Gu Jue asked Cheng Linhua and others to check Chu Qianchen. However, at that time, they only found out that she was the concubine of the Chu family.

Later, the emperor suddenly granted this marriage to Gu Jue. Although Gu Jue was not in the capital at that time, the Chen Palace still conducted a detailed investigation of the Chu family for this purpose.

Cheng Linhua vaguely guessed that the reason why Gu Jue suddenly asked about the Chu family was probably because of Chu Qianchen, so his answer was also centered on Chu Qianchen: "The princess is the second daughter of the concubine, born to Aunt Jiang, the concubine of Yongding Hou Chu Lingxiao."

"That Aunt Jiang is the distant niece of Mrs. Jiang, the wife of the Hou Mansion. She came to live in the Hou Mansion more than 20 years ago because her parents died. She and Chu Lingxiao were childhood sweethearts."

"Sixteen years ago, the late emperor wanted to rectify military affairs. The Yongding Marquis Mansion was involved in the Liaodong case of empty pay. The title was in jeopardy. The old Marquis personally went to Mu Guogong's Mansion to ask for the marriage of Chu Lingxiao's eldest daughter. Shen Zhi, Mu Guogong agreed and settled the case for the Yongding Hou Mansion. A year later, Shen Zhi married into the Hou Mansion. In the same year, Chu Lingxiao took Aunt Jiang as his concubine and gave birth to a son and a daughter. ”

"Back then, Aunt Jiang and Shen Zhi became pregnant almost at the same time. The old Marquis was worried that Chu Lingxiao would spoil his concubine and destroy his wife, so he drove Aunt Jiang away to his hometown."

"Later, this wife and concubine gave birth to a daughter on the same day, who was the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, Chu Qianhuang and the princess."

Cheng Linhua said and Gu Jue listened.

Gu Jue's knuckles tapped lightly on his knees.

Cheng Linhua didn't know if Gu Jue still wanted to hear about Chu Yunyi, Chu Yunmu and Chu Qianhuang, so he paused and carefully observed the words and expressions. He always felt that the prince's attention to the princess was somewhat different from others.

At least, in the prince's heart, the princess should be a somewhat special person.

Gu Jue stopped with his knuckles and asked, "Is the princess having a hard time in the Hou Mansion?"

Cheng Linhua felt that the prince would not like his answer, but he nodded honestly: "Indeed."

"In the past, when the princess was in the Marquis Mansion, almost no one would look at her."

"Last year, he was sent to live in Zhuangzi for more than half a year. Later, he was brought back to Beijing by Mrs. Hou Shen Zhi."

"It wasn't until March this year when the princess rescued the fourth young master Chu Yunmu that she showed off her medical skills for the first time."

Cheng Linhua sighed with emotion: "It is Mrs. Yongdinghou who has a good nature. Otherwise, if it were the Yun family, I am afraid that the princess would have been tortured to death..."

He guessed in his heart that maybe the princess learned such medical skills because of some adventure she had when she stayed at Zhuangzi. However, it was their princess who was extremely talented and had a photographic memory!

Cheng Linhua admired their new princess so much that he had to applaud Su Mubai for that cunning fox.

Gu Jue stared at the pond outside the window. Under the moonlight, half of the pond was filled with lotus flowers blooming in the night, like steaming clouds.

The evening breeze ruffled the pond water, causing ripples. The lotus flowers swayed gently, and a few dragonflies flew above the pond.

"Meow!"

The little black cat happily chased a dragonfly, its green eyes seemed to glow in the dark night. As soon as night comes, it becomes energetic and moves around attracting birds and insects.

Gu Jue looked at the kitten having a great time and asked, "Where is Chu Lingxiao?"

Cheng Linhua pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed.

He really didn't like Chu Lingxiao, but he was also the princess's biological father.

Cheng Linhua considered his words carefully and said: "Marquis Yongding has always favored Aunt Jiang, but Mrs. Hou was born in Mu Guogong's palace, so he did not have the courage to destroy his wife. However, the relationship between the couple was very bad. On the day when the princess came back from three dynasties, Hou The lady took her son back to her parents’ home.”

The boy who came to serve Gu Jue tea also heard this conversation and added with a smile: "Master Cheng, just say that he can eat soft food hard."

This young boy also followed Gu Jue to the North and was always waiting on Gu Jue's side, so he spoke more boldly than others.
