Chapter 198 Chapter 198 Feedback
Seeing Chu Qianchen's smile, Manager Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this medical book was indeed a rare and unique copy.
He felt that his prince was too taciturn and was not very good at pleasing the girl's family, so he seized the opportunity to express his gratitude to the prince: "Princess, this "Bamboo Forest Surgery" was specially sent by the prince to Yuzhou to find it."
"There are also a few books collected from Jiangnan, but they are still on the way. It is estimated that it will take four or five days to reach the capital."
He tried his best to put on a kind smile, but he actually felt a little disapproving of it.
Although it is important to go with what you want, the prince is too unconventional. When others give gifts to their wives, they usually give jewelry, so the prince actually gives the princess a medical book!
Manager Sui was wondering whether he should give the prince a few gentle reminders when he returned to Beijing.
At this moment, Grandma Cai entered the main hall holding a wooden box, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits.
She walked closer, bowed to Chu Qianchen, and said with a smile: "Princess, the last batch of jewelry that the prince bought for you at Duobao Zhai has just been delivered."
Manager Sui Da: "..."
Ahem, actually, my prince is quite good at pleasing the princess!
Manager Sui suddenly felt a sense of comfort and relief.
He clasped his fists again and said, "Princess, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave first."
As the chief steward of the palace, he has a lot of trivial matters on weekdays. If he didn't want to take the opportunity to show his merits to the prince, he would not personally come to deliver medical books to the princess.
Aunt Cai exchanged pleasantries with Chu Qianchen and then left.
Chu Qianchen returned to the main hospital, bringing medical books and jewelry with him.
Amber originally thought that the princess would have to stay in the small study again to study the new medical books. However, Chu Qianchen ordered: "Go and put your things away first."
amber:"…"
Amber's eyes widened slightly in surprise, and she almost turned around to see if the sun was rising from the west today.
This is really not in line with the princess's temperament!
Chu Qianchen raised his eyes and met Hu Hu's eyes. He roughly guessed what she was thinking, which was a little funny. At the same time, he silently reviewed it.
The prince went out and handed Prince Chen's Mansion to her, but what did she do? These days, she just stared at the medical books and ignored everything.
She couldn't live like this anymore.
Chu Qianchen took two sips of Biluochun and cheered up.
In her last life, she had never managed a house, and no one taught her.
In this life, she had studied housekeeping with her mother for a few days, but now that she thinks about it, during those days she thought that she would never get married, so she just went in one ear and out the other, as if she was just yawning and talking. God.
So bad!
Chu Qianchen silently condemned himself again.
In his position, he seeks his government.
Now that she is married, she is still living so casually. She is really not a qualified princess.
Chu Qianchen frowned slightly and tried to recall what Shen had taught him.
Amber saw that Chu Qianchen looked wrong and asked, "Princess, is there something wrong?"
Chu Qianchen replied subconsciously: "It's very wrong."
"..." Amber was confused.
Chu Qianchen said again: "Ask Manager Sui and Aunt Cai to bring the roster and account books of the palace."
Amber finally understood that the princess was planning to start housekeeping.
She quickly accepted the order and went alone. When she came back, the team was huge and brought back more than a dozen boxes of account books and two rosters.
Manager Sui Da and Aunt Cai didn't know how many account books Chu Qianchen wanted, so they simply sent them all the account books for the past three years.
So, Chu Qianchen began to stay at home again, and stayed in the room with Amber for several days to read the account books, which made Amber's head grow bigger.
In the past, in the Hou Mansion, Amber was in charge of all the trivial matters in Wanyan Courtyard, but there were only so many people in Wanyan Courtyard, and the girls in the Hou Mansion all had fixed quotas.
After spending several days finally reading these boxes of account books, Chu Qianchen went to Duke Mu's Mansion again, naturally looking for Shen.
Before getting married, she didn't learn how to be a housekeeper, so now she can only make up for it and start learning as soon as possible.
Since moving to the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Shen has been idle every day, not caring about anything. Because Chu Qianchen came to ask her about housekeeping, Mrs. Shen became more energetic and felt that there was still something she could do for her daughter, so she taught her to the best of her ability. , and even compiled a housekeeper's notebook for Chu Qianchen.
As a result, in just a few days, everyone in Prince Chen's mansion felt that their living standards had improved dramatically.
In the past, although the palace had plenty of food, the types of dishes were relatively simple, and you could eat just the same ones. But now the variety of staple foods and dishes has become richer.
In the past, unless they were sick, they had to be on duty every day. Now the princess has arranged the shift so that everyone can take one day off every ten days.
…
There is a small change every two days, which makes everyone in the palace feel very comfortable and look forward to tomorrow.
"Captain Yun, the princess ordered me to measure you."
That evening, as soon as Yun Zhan entered the door, he was stopped by Aunt Cai and others.
"Measurement?" Yun Zhan turned over and dismounted, still a little confused.
In the capital, all normal mansions have sewing rooms, but Prince Chen's Mansion is an exception.
In the past, when Gu Jue was away from the capital, the sewing room was of no use at all. This spring, after Gu Jue returned to the capital in triumph, everyone was worried about his illness, so there was no time to worry about these details.
On weekdays, the people in the palace, including Yunzhan and the others, wear clothes directly from clothing stores. Although they don't fit a little, they are all men anyway, and no one cares as long as they wear something.
Yun Zhan touched his nose and knew that this was the princess's kindness, so he agreed.
Yunzhan followed Nanny Cai to the side hall of Shaohua Hall.
The side hall was quite lively, and the person who came to measure everyone was Zhuxiufang, a well-known cloth shop in the capital.
As soon as Yun Zhan entered the door, he heard Xue Fengyan's straightforward voice: "Isn't it just clothes? It's almost enough to wear."
Xue Fengyan has always been a casual person, and he can sleep in a tree. In his opinion, clothes are just enough to wear, there is no need to pay so much attention to them.
"My lord, what you said is wrong." The proprietress of Zhu Xiufang retorted with a smile, "There is something special about tailoring clothes. Whether a new dress is suitable is not simply based on a person's size, but also depends on a person's body shape. shape and walking posture.”
Xue Fengyan: "..."
Xue Fengyan was noncommittal, but Yun Zhan was convinced.
Yun Zhan is also a noble son. No matter how displeased he was, his aunt would never lack some of his clothes. Although he didn't care much, he could feel that the clothes he bought in the clothing store didn't fit him well. It was either too narrow or too narrow. If it's wide there, it's always not docile enough.
After Xue Feng calmed down, it was Yun Zhan's turn next.
After that, there were Cheng Linhua, Sui Daguanshi, etc.
By the time everyone was measured, the sun was already halfway down.
The proprietress of Zhu Xiuji did not leave directly. Instead, she followed Grandma Cai to the main courtyard to report to Chu Qianchen and handed over a list detailing how many sets of clothes to make this time and the cost. Talk about the construction period.
Amber looked at the list and nodded to Chu Qianchen, meaning it was no problem.
The face of the landlady was almost bursting with smiles, "Don't worry, Princess, we will work harder and we will definitely not miss the construction date."
This deal should be 90 percent done!
This is a big business. There are so many people in Prince Chen's palace who all want to customize new clothes. If this season is done to the princess's satisfaction, it is conceivable that there will be winter clothes for the next season and spring clothes for next year.
The proprietress took over a dozen more drawings from the old lady beside her and presented them to her personally, "Princess, these are some of the new styles from our Zhuxiu Workshop. Do you like them?"
"If you feel bad about it, it's okay. I have more styles to choose from in my shop. I'll deliver them to you tomorrow morning."
These style pictures show women's clothing, and they are all prepared for maids.
Who in the girl's family doesn't like new clothes? Amber, Yingluo, Hualu and other maids all looked bright and cheerful, and went around to pick out styles.
"I think this style looks good!"
"It looks good, but I see many people wearing similar ones on the street..."
"Let's stick to this one, this one is new!"
"Jiang Yuan, come here and take a look, how do you like this one?"
“…”
The little girls chatted like sparrows and were so lively that even the little black cat came over after hearing the sound and squatted there without leaving.
Chu Qianchen looked at Hu Hua and the others and smiled slightly, feeling that he was indeed careless.
A few days ago, when Chu Qianchen took Hu Huo to Duke Mu's mansion, Mrs. Shen noticed that the clothes Hu Hu was wearing were from the Chu family and asked a few questions. Chu Qianchen also answered truthfully.
At that time, Mrs. Shen's expression clearly said that Prince Chen's Mansion was too conciliatory.
Chu Qianchen picked up the tea cup, lowered his eyes, blew the floating leaves on the tea soup, and drank the tea.
In her previous life, when she was in the palace, the clothes she wore were not ready-made clothes bought from clothing stores or cloth shops. Every season, someone would come to the palace to tailor her clothes.
At that time, the prince said that the girl's family could not get along like Mo Chen and Xue Feng did.
Recalling the events of his previous life, Chu Qianchen's eyes softened.
Therefore, she thought that although the palace did not have a sewing room, she could still find someone from outside to customize the clothes, which would save effort and worry.
After a while, Amber and the others picked out the materials and styles of their clothes, and showed Chu Qianchen the drawings and fabric samples with a smile.
Chu Qianchen looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and asked Zhu Xiufang to customize a silk ribbon around his waist. He planned to make two for each maid, indicating that they were from Prince Chen's palace.
No matter what Chu Qianchen says, the landlady will always accept it.
After Grandma Cai paid the deposit, the proprietress who made a big business left happily.
As soon as the people from Zhu Xiufang left, the Dongci room suddenly felt a lot empty.
Aunt Cai smiled so much that there were deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and she was extremely happy.
In the past, this huge palace didn't look like a palace. It was just like an inn. There was nothing wrong with it, but it didn't look like a home. However, since the princess got married, she has watched Prince Chen's palace change day by day. Sample.
Aunt Cai asked with a smile: "Princess, do you want to buy some people?"
This is the second time that Aunt Cai has mentioned this matter. The palace is really too empty, and the manpower is probably less than half of that of other palaces. No, not even 30%.
The little black cat that had been lying quietly on the window sill for a while moved. It jumped down lightly and ran to Chu Qianchen's shoes.
"Meow!" The little black cat nuzzled her skirt obediently.
Chu Qianchen grabbed a small dried fish from the box next to him and threw it to the little black cat. The little black cat opened its mouth and bit into the small dried fish with a whine.
"No," Chu Qianchen thought for a while, but still refused, "The palace has just the right people now."
The prince's injury has not yet been cured, so it is not appropriate for the palace to increase its manpower for the time being, lest people with suspicious origins get mixed in. Moreover, Chu Qianchen felt that they should not stay in the capital for a long time after the prince recovered.
The prince should not be trapped in a small area like the capital. The capital is just a cage, and the prince is an eagle, and the eagle should soar in the blue sky. They will go to the north in the future, and it is useless to buy so many people.
Anyway, you can leave the clothes to the embroidery shop and purchase the clothes. Sui Da and the others have also done a good job. The palace does not need to change.
Aunt Cai also couldn't figure out why the princess was so stubborn on this point, so she kept trying to persuade her: "Princess, if nothing else, the inner courtyard also needs a kitchen."
Chu Qianchen said casually, "Just let Chef Tian cook it together."
The prince's palace is not like the prince's palace. In addition to the wife, there are four full rooms of people living there. There are many people, so the kitchen is naturally divided into more details, and there are not many people in the palace.
Aunt Cai: “…”
Aunt Cai felt strange. Obviously the princess and the prince have very different temperaments, and their origins and experiences are also very different, but for some reason, she often feels that the princess and the prince have an inexplicable similarity in their casual temperament and informality.
Grandma Cai thought for a while and said that when she has a little master in the future, there will not be enough manpower.
But before the words were spoken, Chu Qianchen said enthusiastically: "I would like to renovate the courtyard next to the prince's study, build a pavilion next to the pond, plant a bamboo forest next to the pavilion, and..."
Chu Qianchen talked in detail about how to repair the outer study. While she was talking, the little black cat rubbed against her skirt and kept meowing "meow".
Chu Qianchen threw another small dried fish to it. One person and one cat were living happily. This scene made Grandma Cai suddenly change her mind.
Whatever. Aunt Cai said to herself that their princess was still young and had not even had hair extensions yet. In the future, she would gradually realize that the number of people in the palace was definitely not enough. Well, come on, little by little.
Aunt Cai is somewhat worried.
At this moment, Amber, who had just gone to see off the Zhuxiufang group, came back.
Hu Bo reported: "Princess, the Queen has sent Aunt Shan to deliver a message, asking the princess to come to the palace in three days."
Aunt Cai's complexion suddenly changed, and Amber's complexion was also not good-looking. They all knew that Queen Xuanchu Qianchen's visit must have bad intentions, and they wondered whether she was sick and rejected the Queen.
Chu Qianchen smiled, stroked his sleeves, and said, "We're finally here."
She looked relaxed, with a kind of understanding that she had known for a long time.
The little black cat had already finished the second dried fish and meowed for a while, but no one paid attention to it.
It didn't stop doing anything, and simply kicked its legs and jumped lightly onto Chu Qianchen's lap, looking at her unblinkingly with a pair of green cat eyes.
Amber and Aunt Cai looked at each other.
Amber asked: "Princess, did you know that the Queen would announce your entry into the palace?"
Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled slightly, touching the smooth back of the little black cat with one hand.
The dark fur shimmered in the golden sunlight.
On the wedding day, she embarrassed the queen in public. The queen most likely thought that she only dared to do this because of the support of the prince. Now that the prince leaves, the queen will sooner or later call her into the palace to teach her a lesson.
The queen was also quite patient, for fear of making it too obvious, it took several days to announce her entry into the palace.
Chu Qianchen was too lazy to deal with the queen, and she was not interested in entering the palace to be teased. What she was waiting for was the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother Yin.
On the Wanshou Festival, the queen once rewarded Chu Qianchen with a token in public, saying that she could enter the palace at any time with this token.
After that, Chu Qianchen also tried to pass signs to the palace asking to see the Queen Mother Yin, but without exception she was stopped. She had not seen the Queen Mother since the two dynasties. This was obviously the emperor's intention. Since then, the emperor has been controlling the Queen Mother Yin to suppress the prince.
Therefore, after failing twice, Chu Qianchen stopped delivering signs to the palace. She bet that the queen would be even more impatient than her.
really!
Grandma Cai actually felt it was inappropriate and wanted to persuade her.
Amber understands her master. Once the master makes up his mind, he will not change it easily. I am afraid that only the prince can coax her.
"Yes, Princess." Amber could only obey the order and go out to deal with Aunt Shan.
At this time, it was not only Amber who missed Gu Jue, but Grandma Cai also missed Gu Jue, and sighed again: The princess and the prince are indeed very similar.
Chu Qianchen didn't notice the strange behavior between the two of them. He was still touching her kitten, and his thoughts were fixed on Queen Mother Yin.
In the last life, Queen Mother Yin died too suddenly, and this incident made Chu Qianchen very worried.
Although Queen Mother Yin's Shouning Palace was now being watched by people arranged by Chu Qianchen, she still did not dare to take it lightly.
She couldn't let the prince blame himself and feel guilty like he did in the previous life.
The little black cat kept meowing, and the sound became softer and sweeter.
Chu Qianchen looked at the kitten and smiled.
At first glance, her smile looks innocent and simple, but at second glance, it looks cunning and confident.
Aunt Cai suddenly thought: Maybe she should not worry about the princess, but the queen.
As the Queen wished, Chu Qianchen entered the palace early on August 20th.
Aunt Shan had been waiting for her at the palace gate for a long time, and personally led her to Fengluan Palace. If she didn't know this, she might think that the queen valued Chu Qianchen.
As she walked, Aunt Shan looked at Chu Qianchen from time to time and curled her lips contemptuously.
A mere concubine from the Marquis Mansion actually wanted to compete with the Queen. She simply didn’t know what the heavens and the earth were. She had to suffer a lot today!
Speechless all the way, Chu Qianchen followed Aunt Shan to the east side hall of Fengluan Palace.
The elegantly dressed queen sat on the Arhat bed, elegantly holding a pastel Langya tea cup and sipping tea.
There was a three-legged unicorn incense burner placed in the corner. wisps of green smoke rose up from the burner, lingering in the surroundings. There was an air of solemnity in the silence.
When Chu Qianchen entered, the queen only focused on drinking tea without even looking at Chu Qianchen, as if she didn't know she was coming.
In the palace, besides the queen, there was another person.
The Madam, who was wearing a lot of make-up, was sitting on a rosewood armchair to the left of the Arhat's bed. Her posture was elegant and she looked at Chu Qianchen with complicated eyes.
Since that day when Mrs. Shen rushed to the Hou Mansion to reveal the mystery of Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang's life experience, this was the first time she saw Chu Qianchen.
Thinking of what happened that day, the wife sighed secretly here.
Aunt Shan walked straight to the queen and said deliberately: "My queen, Princess Chen is here."
Immediately, a maid in green clothes placed a futon directly in front of the queen, and the meaning was very clear.
Aunt Shan made a mocking smile.
On the day when the two dynasties congratulated each other, Princess Chen had to make up for the gifts she owed. After all, my arms can’t twist my thighs!
However, Chu Qianchen just pretended not to see it and crossed the futon.
She walked to the front of the futon and said, "I have met the Queen."
After she saluted, she straightened up on her own, without even waiting for the queen to say goodbye. Then she turned to the dowager, who was also blessed, and called "grandma". Then, she took the seat opposite the dowager. Sat down.
The queen's face suddenly sank, and the corner of her mouth froze behind the tea cup. The word "unbridled" was on her lips, but she never said it.
"..." Mrs. Tai's face didn't look good either. She frowned and felt that Chu Qianchen was really unruly.
This girl's unruly behavior will only make the Queen feel that their Chu family's tutor is not good.
The queen was still in the mood to drink tea. She put down the tea cup and looked at Chu Qianchen, staring at her deeply.
In order to enter the palace today, Chu Qianchen wore the makeup of a princess.
Wearing a nine-zhai crown of pearls and emeralds, a phoenix-green robe with gold embroidery, and a large red shirt with four-in-one Ruyi cloud patterns, it is jewel-like and extremely luxurious.
Those beautiful phoenix eyes sparkled against the bright red material and the nine-zhai crown of pearls and emeralds, and her skin was as white as the first snow.
At this moment, she was sitting elegantly, her mouth was curved, her facial features were exquisite, and she was radiant. Her posture was as standard as if it were measured with a ruler, making it impossible for anyone to find anything wrong. She looked extremely well-behaved.
She looked calm and composed, as if she really didn't see the futon on the ground just now.
The queen narrowed her eyes. Although she felt unhappy, she didn't get angry immediately.
She glanced over, and the eldest maid personally served Chu Qianchen tea.
The queen smiled and greeted, "Ninth brother and sister, you are a new wife and have just married into the palace. How are you adapting to it?"
Chu Qianchen responded succinctly: "Adapt."
What could possibly be wrong with her? Life in the Prince's Mansion was much more comfortable than in the Marquis' Mansion.
The madam frowned again, feeling that Chu Qianchen was too poor at speaking, so she answered dryly.
The queen didn't pay attention, and asked again as if nothing had happened: "The taste of the Nine Emperor Brothers has changed a lot since they have been in the Northland for many years. Are my brothers and sisters still accustomed to eating in the palace?"
This time, Chu Qianchen still only said two words: "Habit."
She is indeed used to it, and she particularly likes Chef Tian's craftsmanship.
"That's good." The queen's mouth froze for a moment, and then she smiled, "Hey, there are no elders in Prince Chen's palace, and I have always been worried that you won't like my ninth younger brother. If you suffer any grievances in the future, just talk to me Say, I will make the decision for you.”
The Queen's words were high-sounding, but Chu Qianchen just responded politely: "Thank you, Queen."
These six words were obviously just polite perfunctory words.
The queen pretended to take another sip of tea, but in fact her lips barely touched the rim of the cup.
The queen got to the point with the third question: "Brother and sister, I heard that Prince Wuhe of Nanhao once visited Prince Chen's Mansion... Did the Nine Emperors say anything to you before leaving the capital this time?"
The emperor had always been resentful about Gu Jue's several private meetings with Wu Hejialou, but both Gu Jue and Wu Hejialou were very strict with their mouths.
Chu Qianchen didn't speak, just pursed his lips and smiled, revealing a pair of shallow pear dimples.
The Queen frowned again, thinking that Chu Qianchen didn't understand, and raised her eyes to look at the Madam.
The queen's heart skipped a beat when the queen saw her, and she couldn't look directly into the queen's eyes.
She was a little uneasy, so she immediately asked, "Sister Chen, is the Queen asking you something?"
Mrs. Tai felt in her heart that this girl Chu Qianchen was too unruly. She was raised by Jiang Minshan to be too petty and could not stand on the stage.
In her opinion, Chu Qianchen should answer the Queen's question well whether he knew it or not. What kind of attitude was it for her to turn a deaf ear and remain silent like she was now?
"What did the Queen ask?" Chu Qianchen asked doubtfully.
Aunt Shan raised her chin and repeated for the queen: "The empress is asking you, what did Prince Wuhe of Nanhao say to His Highness King Chen?"
Chu Qianchen pursed his lips again, his smile deeper, simple and innocent.
Chu Qianchen did not answer but asked instead: "A while ago, the soldiers from the northwest requested the title of Prince of Nanyang to succeed him to the title of Prince of Nanyang. Madam, will your Majesty accept the request?"
"..." The queen felt that Chu Qianchen was simply baffled and scolded unhappily, "You, a woman, dare to inquire about the government affairs of the court!"
Chu Qianchen seemed to have heard some joke and laughed out loud, just a short sound.
Chu Qianchen nodded seriously and said, "Your Majesty is right, women should not inquire about court affairs."
"..." The queen didn't think too much about it just now, but now she tasted the taste, and her face turned darker again.
Grandma Shan was dumbfounded.
This Princess Chen is really sharp-tongued, and she actually made the queen a weak point in her!
