Chapter 257 257 Everyone Knows (Second Update)
Aunt Shan breathed a sigh of relief.
The Queen sent out a lot of posts like snowflakes this morning. Only the Queen Chen’s post was saved until the end. For the sake of solemnity, she specially asked her to send it.
This Princess Chen is a thorn in her side, and she is the kind of person who doesn't want to sell anyone's face.
Aunt Shan was so attentive and thoughtful today because she was afraid that she would not complete her errands and that the other party would not come to the banquet, causing her to be scolded by the queen.
As long as Princess Chen is willing to accept the post, that would be the best.
Aunt Shan sang for the whole audience and flattered Chu Qianchen, saying "the princess is graceful and magnanimous", "the princess will definitely make the flower viewing banquet more colorful", "the queen has always liked the princess" and so on The words of praise are endless.
She didn't have anything to do with it, but Amber felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard it.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Aunt Shan took the initiative to leave.
As soon as she left, Chu Qianchen took the post and went to the outer study to find Gu Jue. He showed the post to him and thoughtfully opened it.
Gu Jue put the official document aside and read the post casually.
"Your Majesty, it just so happens that I can go see the Queen Mother." Chu Qianchen said obediently.
She smiled, her smile as bright as a flower blooming in midsummer, lively with a bit of pride, bright with a bit of squeamishness.
Just say it straight, come and praise me!
Gu Jue would feel very good just looking at her like this, and the smile couldn't stop spreading on his face.
He also knew that it was rare for others to enter the palace, but his little girl was not. Her purpose of entering the palace for the banquet was just for the Queen Mother...or rather, for him.
This little girl always puts him first and always makes him feel that he has not done enough and that he must be better to her.
She deserves it.
Gu Jue stared at her, unblinking, his eyes so focused.
At first, Chu Qianchen was very happy, with a smile as bright as a flower and a warm heart. She wished Gu Jue could look at her for a little longer.
In the previous life, when he closed his eyes before dying, her biggest wish was that he could open his eyes, look at her one more time, or even say one more word to her. ,
Now, the prince is here, well, and his health is getting better day by day...
But when Gu Jue's hand gently touched her cheek, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and suddenly she didn't dare to look at him.
Shouldn't the prince touch her head?
Chu Qianchen felt his cheeks feel slightly hot.
She couldn't see her face, but Gu Jue saw with his own eyes that her snow-white cheeks were dyed with a rouge-like color bit by bit, which reminded him of the way he painted the girl in his painting one by one. Scenes...
The smile in Gu Jue's eyes deepened, and he pinched her soft and smooth cheek gently, "Let's go."
He left the study first with his hands behind his back, feeling that the girl's warm and delicate touch seemed to be on his fingertips.
Chu Qianchen slowed down and followed him stupidly, raising his hand to touch his cheek that he had pinched.
Jing Feng and Hu Hu, who were guarding outside the study, couldn't help but glance at the two masters. They always felt that they felt a little different.
Jingfeng and Amber looked at each other confused, what happened to the masters?
Along the way, the two walked side by side, silent all the way, and didn't speak for a long time.
When Chu Qianchen came to his senses, he realized that she had followed Gu Jue to the house next door.
The young master of Fan Yanzhi's family used to live next door, but after he recovered from his injury, Su Mubai took him away. Chu Qianchen didn't care and didn't ask. Now only Wuhejialou and this group of Hao people live there.
When they arrived, Uhagalou was playing chess. The chessboard was filled with black and white chess pieces that occupied half of the chessboard. The enemy and we were fighting fiercely, and the black and white chess pieces fell one after another on the crisscrossed chessboard.
Within two days, his complexion improved again, and at first glance he looked just like an ordinary person.
People who don't know him can't even see that he carries a hatred of country and family that can crush a person.
After receiving the ceremony, they sat down. Gu Jue never liked talking in circles and asked straight to the point: "What are your plans for the marriage between the two countries?"
Yesterday, Gu Jue had already sent someone to tell Wuhajialou that Wuhaduluo had sent envoys to Daqi to ask the emperor to marry the princess.
Now Gu Jue asked this question just because he wanted to know what Wuhejialou was thinking. Did he want to mess up the marriage between the two countries, or should he let it happen naturally.
Chiang Rai and others next to him all frowned, with anxious expressions on their faces.
Wuhaduluo had just ascended the throne, and the political situation in Dahao was not stable. Once Wuhaduluo was able to secure the throne of Dahao and win over Daqi, it would be difficult to restore him.
The marriage between the two countries cannot happen.
Chiang Rai and others hesitated to speak, but they also knew that the current occasion was not suitable.
Wuhejialou, on the other hand, was calm and calm, without even moving his eyebrows. The snow-white monk's robes looked like the first clear snow in the sunlight from the window.
He put down another white piece, looked up at Gu Jue and said, "Let nature take its course." After he said this, Qingrai and others swallowed all the words on their lips. They were completely convinced of the eldest prince's decision. of.
Gu Jue smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup, and sipped the hot tea.
He obviously didn't say a word, but it felt like there was an invisible tacit understanding between him and Uhagalou.
Chu Qianchen didn't speak anymore after sitting down. His eyes fell on the chessboard, watching the game with interest.
Although Jialou didn't hold the chess record in his hand, Chu Qianchen was sure that he was not playing chess with himself, but was recalling a chess game based on his memory.
She could tell at a glance that the chess styles of the black and white chess pieces were so different that they could not have been written by the same person.
Wuhejialou continued to play chess. As the black and white chess pieces fell one by one, Chu Qianchen raised his eyebrows thoughtfully and found that the black chess style looked familiar.
Gu Jue took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and said: "The King of Andaman and other envoys should stay in the capital for a while..."
When he put down the tea cup, the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe also dropped down, and he had a clear and elegant demeanor in his movements.
Others around him felt an inexplicable coldness rising from the soles of their feet. They vaguely felt that Gu Jue was planning something. The King of Andaman and others who were targeted by him might not end well.
Wuhejialou was silent, picked up a white piece and dropped it.
The crisp sound of the stroke had already indicated his intention, and everything depended on Gu Jue's arrangement.
At this time, Chu Qianchen finally moved his eyes away from the chessboard and said: "The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. The Queen Mother said last time that she would not have a birthday this year unless she had a birthday. Just eat longevity noodles. Your Majesty, Shall we choose a birthday gift for the Queen Mother?”
She looked up at Gu Jue with a smile, her eyes were clear and somewhat meaningful.
Gu Jue raised his hand, put his fist to his lips, chuckled, and said, "It's up to you."
His tone was clear and light, but Amber could hear the lingering affection in Jun's heart.
Chu Qianchen smiled happily, pointed at the chess game and asked, "Your Majesty, was it you who played the black piece?"
Uhagalou: “…”
Gu Jue: "..."
Even Gu Jue showed a rare hint of surprise. He almost wanted to ask her how she knew, but then he laughed.
She can recognize it, isn't that "normal"?
Gu Jue softly said "hmm" with soft eyes.
As if he had received such a big compliment, Chu Qianchen's smile became even stronger, and he lowered his eyes to look at the chess game being played in Wuhejialou.
A person's chess style has its own characteristics just like handwriting. Of course, Gu Jue can also deliberately change his chess style, but the game in front of him is obviously played by Gu Jue according to his own wishes. The chess style is majestic and sharp. Bright and bright, especially good at overall situation.
In the previous life, Chu Qianchen and Gu Jue had played countless chess games. She knew Gu Jue's chess style best and would definitely not admit his mistakes.
Chiang Rai and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered.
Could this game of chess be...
"Blind chess," one of them blurted out.
"Blind chess?" Chu Qianchen asked curiously, knowing nothing about the matter, his beautiful phoenix eyes blinking.
Gu Jue explained a few words and briefly talked about his previous blind chess game with Wu He Jia Lou.
He was calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with warmth, joy, and satisfaction.
He suddenly wanted to play chess with her again, feeling that he was once again left far behind by her.
He also wanted to know her better.
When Chu Qianchen saw that they had finished talking about business, he said to Wuhajialou: "Master, let me take your pulse."
As usual, she checked Wuhe Jialou's pulse again, prescribed a new prescription, told him the precautions for decoction and told him to have a good rest. After that, she left with Gu Jue and returned to Prince Chen's Mansion next door.
The first thing he did after returning was to call Supervisor Sui over.
"The prince wants to choose a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, and he will ask several treasure restaurants in the capital to come over tomorrow."
Manager Sui Da: "..."
Chu Qianchen said with a smile: "Go and do it. We don't have to hide things in Prince Chen's Mansion."
Manager Sui Da immediately understood that the princess wanted to spread the news to everyone in the capital.
Simple! This is much easier than keeping a secret!
