Chapter 305: 305 Dislike

Chapter 305 305 Dislike

Wuhejialou nodded in agreement.

He felt Chu Qianchen's disgusted gaze and smiled slightly at her, his dark pupils like the eternal and unchanging vast night sky.

When these eyes stare at someone quietly, people can't help but calm down, as if the joys, sorrows and joys in this world are just the fate of the mortal world.

The day after tomorrow is the day when the third princess will be happy and happy. After she gets her hair, Qi and Hao will formally sign a marriage contract.

Just as Da Qi has the tradition of three books and six rites, the Wuhe family of the Hao Kingdom also has its own tradition. Before signing the marriage contract, a blessing ceremony is required.

As the marriage envoy sent by Emperor Hao, the king of Andaman went to Baiyun Temple to pray on behalf of Hao.

The king of Andaman has been urging the emperor for a long time, but the emperor has been delaying it, and it was not until just now that the emperor approved it.

It was said that he was being escorted by Jin Yiwei, but in fact, he was being watched by Jin Yiwei.

Chu Qianchen: "..."

Chu Qianchen also knew that Gu Jue's trip with Wuhejialou must not be changed, so he lowered his face and drooped his ears.

Why.

Gu Jue chuckled silently and ordered another cup of tea for her. This time, he ordered a stretched cat on the tea soup and gently pushed the tea cup to Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen was immediately coaxed by Gu Jue, and even his droopy ears became energetic again.

She covered her hands with the teacup and admired the teacup in her hand for a while, then slowly finished the tea in the teacup, as if she was drinking some fine wine.

This winter is getting colder and colder day by day. The number of charcoal fires in the house has increased from two to three, but it is still a little cold.

Whether in the house or outside, Chu Qianchen would always carry a warm sleeve stove and prepare one for Gu Jue.

Gu Jue shouldn't go out to "play" during this season, but now that he decided to go out, Chu Qianchen wouldn't stop him.

Of course she couldn't offend Gu Jue, so she quickly made preparations, including a cloak, a sleeve stove, a carriage, a heater for the carriage, incense, etc. She also put a thick white tiger skin cushion in the carriage.

After seeing the new carriage, Chu Qianchen was very satisfied. As he walked, he smiled and showed off to Amber: "I'm thoughtful, right?"

"This customized carriage is much more spacious than an ordinary carriage. I will customize one for Mom and Brother Mu later."

"By the way, we need to put two more big pillows in the carriage. They must be thick and soft."

"Just make another mink sleeve..."

“…”

Gu Jue didn't care about family affairs at all now, and all matters of the palace were left to Chu Qianchen. It wasn't until he got on the carriage when he went out the next day that he realized that it was a brand new carriage. It was spacious and comfortable, with fine decoration and everything. It was much better than before. The carriage on the hunting road was even better.

Knowing that Chu Qianchen was like Gu Jue, he knew whose handiwork it was at a glance, and a faint smile couldn't help but appear between Zhan Li's brows.

He leaned lazily on a large soft pillow and said casually: "Master, please help yourself."

Wuhejialou followed Gu Jue and got into the carriage. He looked around at the carriage, which was obviously not in line with Gu Jue's style. He was startled and then smiled.

Jialou was not polite and poured himself a cup of tea and also poured a cup for Gu Jue. When passing the tea, the normally holy monk's face showed a rare hint of ridicule.

His back was straight, and his sitting posture was upright and elegant, like a mountain peak. His wise eyes flashed with complex light as he looked in the direction of the carriage.

Gu Jue and Wu Hejia Lou had just left the house for the first time and didn't come back until late afternoon.

After the carriage entered Prince Chen's Mansion, Wuhejialou returned to the house next door. Chu Qianchen, who had been waiting in the Prince's Mansion for a long time, came after hearing the news. He originally wanted to take Gu Jue for a walk and ask what interesting things happened today.

As a result, before she could speak, Gu Jue stretched out his hand to her and asked with a smile: "Want to go out to play?"

Of course! Chu Qianchen nodded vigorously, his eyes sparkling, and he raised his hand to grab the hand he extended to her.

She didn't even step on the footstool, she just stepped onto the carriage holding her skirt in one hand.

He pulled along, and she used the force to move upwards, then crashed into his arms, and the two fell into a ball in the carriage.

The curtain fell, isolating the two of them, but it could not stop their pleasant chuckles, which lingered for a long time. Amber, who stayed outside the carriage, silently helped them close the door of the carriage.

So, just as this black flat-top carriage entered the palace, it drove out through the corner gate on the other side.

It is already the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there is only half a month left before the Chinese New Year.

As the saying goes, after Laba Festival, it is the New Year. Now the streets of Beijing already have a New Year atmosphere, and everyone from people to shops are beaming with joy.

The guys in the shops started selling New Year's goods with enthusiasm. Many passers-by came out to buy New Year's goods, carrying large and small bags in their arms. Some excited chatter floated into the carriage from time to time.

Chu Qianchen casually opened the curtains and looked at the bustling streets outside. At this moment, she slowly realized one thing, it was the Chinese New Year!

She forgot!

Then, Chu Qianchen was in a daze again, and his right hand that opened the curtain subconsciously clenched the curtain tightly.

In her previous life, she was kicked out of her home this winter, not long after, when the New Year was about to begin.

Everything from the past life flashed before his eyes, and some memories that once felt unforgettable have become blurry. Now that he thinks about it, Chu Qianchen's mood is very calm.

Because she knew that after leaving the Chu family, she met the prince.

Chu Qianchen looked away from the window and looked at Gu Jue, who was sitting next to her, with an unusually bright light blooming in her phoenix eyes.

Gu Jue: "..."

Gu Jue looked at her confused. Although he didn't know what was going on, he didn't ask. He just waved to her: "Come here."

Chu Qianchen leaned toward him coquettishly, and naturally hooked one arm around his thin waist.

Gu Jue's response was to hold her tighter.

The two didn't get tired of it for long, and the carriage slowed down after turning a corner.

After the carriage stopped, the driver's dry voice came from outside: "Master, we're here."

The carriage stopped for a while, and then the driver heard the door creaking from behind.

Gu Jue got off the carriage first, and then Chu Qianchen, who supported his hand, got out of the carriage. Chu Qianchen immediately noticed that their carriage was parked outside a saddlery shop.

"Sir, your custom-made riding crop has been prepared for you." As soon as the chubby shopkeeper saw Gu Jue, he came up to him with a smile on his face. He smiled so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes. "This is Mrs. Ling, right?"

The clerk had been waiting for them for a long time. He took out a carved wooden box as quickly as possible, opened it, and let the customer inspect the goods.

The riding whip was lying in the box. The cowhide was specially dyed bright red. It looked like it was for women. The handle of the riding whip was embedded with a circle of red stones the size of coix seed.

When Chu Qianchen took the handle of the riding whip and turned it in his hand, the bright red gemstones shimmered.

Gu Jue's custom-made riding whip is naturally more than just a beautiful display. It is made of six strands of leather and looks very strong at first glance.

Chu Qianchen tentatively waved his new riding whip. When the whip was swung, it made a sharp cracking sound in the air.

"Do you like it?" Gu Jue asked with a smile.

"I like it." Chu Qianchen nodded vigorously, "I promised Brother Mu that I would take him out hunting in the spring." This riding whip matched her maple dew at first glance.

Chu Qianchen couldn't bear to let go of the riding whip. He took Gu Jue's hand and said, "Come on, let's go for a walk outside."

The two of them left behind the shock at the end and ran out to go shopping.

Chu Qianchen usually didn't like to go shopping. If she wanted to buy jewelry, materials, etc., she preferred to call the store to make the selection. However, shopping with Gu Jue was another matter.

For her, as long as she could be with Gu Jue, it would be fun to go anywhere.

Gu Jue held her hand and walked forward slowly and slowly. Their steps were much slower than those around them who were rushing to buy new year's goods. They had a sense of leisurely walking at a leisurely pace.

Gu Jue also didn't have much experience in shopping, but after accompanying Chu Qianchen a few times in Xiping Town, he had experience. He immediately walked towards several stalls surrounded by many girls' houses, and stopped at one of them. In front of the stall.

He turned his head to look at her. As soon as he opened his lips, he heard her ask abruptly: "Jiuxia, is there anything you want to buy?"

Chu Qianchen looked up at him with a smile, and it was clearly written on his face, I will buy it for you!

"..." The vendor who originally wanted to greet Chu Qianchen fell silent for a moment, feeling that something was wrong.

Although this stall is small, it does have the feel of a sparrow with all its internal organs. It sells a variety of things, including wooden combs, wooden hairpins, glass hairpins, purses, handkerchiefs, sachets, etc., and various small embroidery items. Colorful and different shapes of mojole.

"..." Gu Jue was also stunned. This was the first time he heard her call him that.

After the two got married, he asked her to call him by his name, but she couldn't say it. At that time, she always looked at him with a look of admiration, so he didn't force her anymore.

But now, there seems to be something different between them.

Does this count as getting better? !

Gu Jue curled his lips, his eyes were soft, and he smiled: "Let me take a look."

He scanned around the stall carefully and picked out three or five Moheule first. The vendor hurriedly tried to wrap them up for him, but he saw Gu Jue pointing at the remaining Moheule and said, "Don't want these five." , and wrap up the rest.”

After the hawker was stunned for a moment, he became happy. Seeing the extraordinary clothes and demeanor of these two people, he knew they were from wealthy families and planned to repay them with more money.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qianchen had already casually thrown a few silver melon seeds to him.

"No need to look for it." Chu Qianchen said generously.

This bag of silver melon seeds was secretly given to her by Amber before she left the palace.

Chu Qianchen thought in his mind that when she returned, he would not only give Amber an extra bag of silver melon seeds, but also reward her well.

The hawker was so happy that he even gave them an extra basket for them to enjoy. He watched the two people leave with envy, sighing in his heart: It's so good to eat soft rice! Hey, who makes him not handsome enough?

Chu Qianchen happily held Gu Jue's hand and continued walking forward. As he walked, he said, "Is there anything else you want to buy? Don't be polite to me..."

She suddenly stopped, tiptoed slightly, and whispered in his ear: "My dowry is quite large."

In her previous life, Chu Qianchen didn't know anything about general affairs, so she didn't take care of her dowry at all before getting married. But in the past few months, she began to learn to be a housekeeper. While taking stock of the palace's properties, she also took care of her own dowry as a practice. Only then did he realize that his dowry was quite large.

The annual income from the dowry is enough to support the prince!

The hot breath she exhaled blew on Gu Jue's ears, and the hot breath spread from the earlobes, making Gu Jue feel warm all over, and his heart felt so soft.

Why does this girl always want to "raise" him!

There was a sweet feeling in Gu Jue's heart. If it weren't for the public, he would have held her in his arms.

People walking around were strangers passing by, and from time to time someone looked at the talented and beautiful couple, with expressions of amazement.

Both of them were used to being looked at and didn't care.

Chu Qianchen shook the hands they held together and asked again with a smile: "Jiuxia, is there anything else you want to buy?"

She could feel that he liked it when she called him that.

Since he likes it, she will call him more often.

The corners of Gu Jue's lips curved again. After thinking for a while, he replied seriously: "Red paper."

Chu Qianchen's eyes lit up, and he dragged him forward in a hurry, saying: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, it's time to buy red paper. When we get back, we will write Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu"..."

Chu Qianchen's steps couldn't help but become brisk.

It’s almost Chinese New Year.

Everything is completely different from the last life, which is great.

She was thinking in her mind that she would buy some red envelopes and give them all big red envelopes on New Year's Eve, including Wang Ye, Hu Bo, and Jiang Yuan.

The two of them bought a lot of things in large and small bags, all with the money given by Chu Qianchen, and it was her decision. They went to a nearby restaurant to rest.

There happened to be the last free seat in this restaurant, and the waiter greeted them enthusiastically: "Two guests, you are so lucky, because some guests stopped coming temporarily, so this room was vacant."

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the restaurant's business is extremely good. The lobby on the first floor is mostly filled with diners, and there are only a few free tables. Chu Qianchen asked the waiter to lead them to the private room on the second floor.

This waiter was a talkative person. He kept talking all the way from the lobby to the second floor. He introduced them to the restaurant’s special dishes, told them what was worth buying on this street, and finally gave them the dim sum next door. Highly recommended: "...the red bean and jujube paste cakes of Liuxi Ji are a must-have. They are sold out every day as soon as they are baked."

Chu Qianchen also liked Liuxiji's red bean and jujube cake, and he was a little moved by what he said.

Gu Jue said: "Want to eat? I'll buy it."

Chu Qianchen wanted to shake his head, but he saw Gu Jue smilingly extending his hand to her and asking her for money.

Chu Qianchen blinked, changed his mind, and stuffed the money bag into his hand grandly, feeling better.

She pays the bills and he does the errands.

Well, that makes sense.

So, Gu Jue, who had just gone upstairs, went downstairs again.

The waiter looked back and forth at the couple with a strange look, and listened intently as Chu Qianchen ordered the dishes. Then he left the booth and muttered almost silently: "It doesn't look like that."

In the lounge, only Chu Qianchen and a bunch of miscellaneous New Year goods they had just bought were left.

Chu Qianchen sat by the window, opened half of the window, looked down at the street below, watched Gu Jue come out of the restaurant's door, and watched him enter the Sixth Anniversary next door.

She was drinking tea while waiting for someone. Her eyelashes were lowered, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her cheeks, making her profile look particularly tranquil.

Her attention was focused on the street below, turning a deaf ear to the various noises coming from the restaurant lobby outside.

Outside the lounge, some guests were chatting; some were walking up and down the stairs, making the sound of footsteps; others were arguing...

Suddenly, with a squeak of the door, a slightly shrill female voice came in arrogantly: "Can't you give them fifty taels and ask them to give up the box?"

"Please wait, sir..."

Before the waiter finished speaking, the door to the private room was rudely pushed open from the outside.

Chu Qianchen put down the tea cup in his hand and turned to look outside the seating area. He saw a girl wearing a lilac cloak walking in from the corridor outside, and her eyes met with Chu Qianchen's.

Chu Qianchen recognized the other party as Yuan Zhitong at a glance. In addition to her, there were Princess Jingle and three other girls in the corridor. They obviously recognized Chu Qianchen, and they all showed shocked expressions.

Yuan Zhitong was the first to regain his composure after a brief moment of confusion. He smiled slightly and blessed himself: "Cousin, what a coincidence!"

Her voice was gentle and gentle, not the sharp female voice just now.

The waiter was originally worried that these guests would bump into the guests in the booth and ruin the reputation of their restaurant. Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out they know each other, so it should be easy to handle.

"Miss Yuan." Chu Qianchen called out coldly.

"I didn't expect to meet my cousin here by chance." Yuan Zhitong still smiled warmly and looked at Chu Qianchen by the window. "Since I came back from the winter hunting, I have always wanted to visit my cousin, but she didn't answer her. my post.”

Jiang Yuan curled his lips coldly. Who among them can enter Prince Chen's Mansion if they want? !

Yuan Zhitong raised his hand and stroked the hairpin on his temples, and then said: "My cousin-in-law and I are really destined to meet here by chance today. Cousin-in-law, this Wanqing Restaurant is full of seats at the moment. Meeting by chance is worse than meeting by chance. Can we have a fight with my cousin-in-law?" table?"

"No." Chu Qianchen flatly refused, his voice clear and light.

Yuan Zhitong: "..."

Yuan Zhitong stood frozen on the spot, silent for a moment, but the curvature of the corners of her mouth did not change at all, and she still had a gentle smile.

Standing on the right side of Jingle was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wearing a bright red cloak. The girl frowned displeasedly and raised her voice slightly: "So what if we share a table? Do you think we want to fight?" There’s no room at the table!”

"Do you know who I am? I am the queen's cousin!"

The girl straightened her back, stood upright, raised her chin slightly, and looked a little arrogantly.

After just a few words, a tense atmosphere filled the air from the seats to the corridor, and the air was so tight that it seemed to condense.

The waiter who was originally relieved looked at this scene and couldn't help but become silent. He also heard that this guest turned out to be the queen's cousin, and he wished he could become invisible. He sighed in his heart: It's really a fight between gods and the devil will suffer.

"Not good." Chu Qianchen repeated again and called Jiang Yuan's name.

Jiang Yuan took a few steps forward. The invisible girl let go of her momentum and transformed from an inconspicuous weed into a ferocious beast. She even walked as vigorously as a cheetah, lifting her weight with ease as she walked in. In the eyes of Yuan Zhitong and others.

Jiang Yuan didn't even bother to smile at them, and pointed outside: "Please."

The word was neither light nor heavy, but her eyes were so cold that it made people shudder.

The girl in the bright red cloak stood frozen in front of the threshold, feeling that it was really shameless for them to leave in such a dejected manner.

She could only stare at Jingle with a bit of anger, her chest heaved, and she said sharply: "Sister-in-law third, why don't you speak!"

The girl almost broke her silver teeth. She felt that her third sister-in-law was really useless. Fortunately, she was still the eldest princess, so she could let Chu Qianchen be so presumptuous in front of her!

Jingle did not enter the private seats, but stood in the corridor with a calm expression. She nodded to Chu Qianchen tenderly and called, "Sister-in-law Ninth."

"Eighth sister." Jingle gently held the arm of Miss Lu Ba and comforted her softly, "There are still seats downstairs."

Miss Lu Ba's face darkened to the naked eye, turning green and white for a while, and her voice became sharper, as if it was about to pierce someone's eardrum: "What did you say?! How can we sit in the lobby!"

Miss Lu Ba subconsciously fluttered her sleeves and shook off Jingle's hand, as if Jingle's proposal had insulted her identity.

Yuan Zhitong quickly turned around, grabbed Miss Lu Ba, and gently pulled her sleeves to signal her to calm down.

Miss Lu Ba tightened her mouth, still looking calm.

"Cousin, if this is the case, then I won't be annoying." Yuan Zhitong smiled calmly, his eyes bright and generous.

She only said "I" and took Miss Lu Ba out, which meant that Chu Qianchen didn't give them any face because he disliked her, and Miss Lu Ba was just a disaster.

Miss Lu Ba was quite pleased with what she heard. Although her face was still tense, her eyes looking at Yuan Zhitong were somewhat friendly.

Jingle frowned.

Yuan Zhitong was not in a hurry to leave, and greeted Chu Qianchen politely and blessed him again.

At the same time, she glanced at Chu Qianchen from the corner of her eye. She originally thought that the other person would at least argue with her for a few words. However, Chu Qianchen ignored her and took a sip of tea. Behind her.

Her originally cold and lazy eyes suddenly lit up.

With a thought in his mind, Yuan Zhitong turned around and saw a young man in moon-white Taoist robes appearing behind Jingle and the three girls at some point.

The young man with a handsome appearance walked slowly, his robes showing flowing lines as he walked, and he moved his hands and feet, looking like a bright moon and a clear breeze, leisurely and at ease.

Miss Lu Ba and three other girls also saw Gu Jue, their expressions changed, and they all did not dare to look directly into Gu Jue's eyes.

Only Yuan Zhitong remained calm and generous, facing Gu Jue again: "Express..."

After saying a word, Gu Jue walked past her without noticing, walked directly to Chu Qianchen, and placed the snacks he had just bought on the table.

He opened a box of the snacks he had just bought. The snacks that had just been baked were still steaming hot, and a sweet smell filled the seating area, making the air sweet.

If this was normal, the waiter would have made some jokes long ago, but now he seemed to be mute, saying nothing, neither advancing nor retreating.

Yuan Zhitong's eyes followed Gu Jue and returned to Chu Qianchen. Even if she didn't walk over to take a look, just by smelling the smell, she would know that this was the snack from Liu Xiji next door.

The reason why they chose this restaurant for dinner was because they saw Liu Xi Ji and thought they could ask the maid to go next door to buy some snacks when they ate later.

However, Yuan Zhitong did not expect that Gu Jue, the dignified King Chen, could actually buy snacks for Chu Qianchen and do these things...

Her aunt and uncle's cousins ​​always said they were nice to her, but they would not do things like buy snacks or make tea for her. They would only praise her for her good tea making and her skills in making snacks...

Yuan Zhitong clenched the handkerchief tightly, tightened his face, and his pupils became darker and darker.

She really doesn't understand.

Why did Chu Qianchen get the attention of King Chen? Apart from her good-looking face, no matter her status, talent or virtue, she was not worthy of King Chen being so kind to her.

Yuan Zhitong looked at Chu Qianchen's face carefully, feeling a little pain in her eyes, as if there were thin poisonous thorns stuck in her eyeballs, and the pain spread from her eyes to her heart.

The sting gradually turned into an emotion that couldn't be described as bitterness, unwillingness, helplessness, and resentment.

Something that had been buried in her heart for a long time and that even she had not sorted out before gradually emerged from the water and became increasingly clear.

She wanted to sit in Chu Qianchen's position, she wanted to take his place.

"cousin!"

Yuan Zhitong called Gu Jue in a gentle tone, this time it was two complete words.

She took another half step forward and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jiang Yuan.

"please."

Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand again to make a gesture of invitation, and also took half a step closer to Yuan Zhitong. His pupils were cold and his slender figure blocked Yuan Zhitong's sight.

Jiang Yuan stood too close, so close that Yuan Zhitong couldn't see the two people behind her.

Yuan Zhitong crumpled the handkerchief in his hand, biting the cheek muscles with his silver teeth, and his long eyelashes trembled, covering up the deep anger in his eyes.

She had already determined in her heart that it was Chu Qianchen who asked her maid to hinder her, and that it was Chu Qianchen who deliberately prevented his cousin Chen Wang from talking to her.

Yuan Zhitong moved, turned around and went out from the elegant seat.

After crossing the threshold, she couldn't help but look back in the direction of Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen, and saw Chu Qianchen holding a piece of shortbread and putting it into Gu Jue's mouth...

Yuan Zhitong's eyes were slightly opened, and his pupils were also shrinking.

The next moment, the door to the private room was slammed shut.

The door almost hit Yuan Zhitong's nose, and even the air in the corridor shook.

Yuan Zhitong's eyes became more gloomy, and he bit his soft lower lip angrily with his teeth, leaving deep teeth marks.

Behind her, Miss Lu Ba was still chattering against Jingle, with a contemptuous tone: "...You are just saying the same thing as Third Brother, it's really useless! Huh, no wonder Third Brother likes Sister Ling and doesn't like you."

"..." Jingle clutched the handkerchief and remained silent, her head slightly lowered, her expression calm.

Yuan Zhitong turned around, his face became gentle and gentle again, and he gave Miss Lu Ba a few words of advice: "Sister Jing, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I made my cousin unhappy."

"I have some misunderstandings with my cousin..."

She hesitated and glanced at the closed door of the private room, a little hesitant and a little aggrieved.

Miss Lu Ba disapproved and glared hard at the door. In turn, she advised Yuan Zhitong: "Sister Tong, don't worry, she is just a concubine. The Queen's cousin values ​​​​you. Doesn't the Queen Mother also like Sister Tong very much? You?"

A gentle smile appeared on Yuan Zhitong's face: "I know."

"Let's go." Yuan Zhitong greeted Miss Lu Ba and the others to leave together, "I see there is a teahouse ahead."

Several people walked towards the stairs leading to the lobby on the first floor. As they walked, Yuan Zhitong said: "Tomorrow is the third princess's hair-raising ceremony. Sister Jing, the guest of honor is Princess Li, and the Queen has asked me to be the host."

"My cousin must have heard about it. Sister Jing, do you think I should give up the position of supervisor..."

The Secretary is the person who serves as the tray for the Hairpin Master. For Yuan Zhitong, this status is of course a great honor, but for Chu Qianchen, it is not.

"..." Jingle in the back frowned.

She doesn't like them talking about Sister-in-law Jiu like that!

Jingle pinched the handkerchief and stepped on Yuan Zhitong's skirt in front of her.

Yuan Zhitong was walking down the stairs when he suddenly felt his skirt tighten, and he lost his balance and threw himself forward...

Today is Fei Zhang.
