Chapter 315 Chapter 315 Jingle

Chu Qianchen rubbed Gu Jue's shoulder, then got up lazily, and said reluctantly: "I'm going to change clothes."

The clothes she is wearing now are clothes for going out, which are always not as comfortable as the clothes she wears at home.

When she took off her bun and changed into regular clothes and returned to Xinuang Pavilion, there was a sweet smell in the room.

"Come here and drink some sugar water with me to warm your stomach." Gu Jue waved and he had already sat by the window.

Chu Qianchen's eyes lit up and he happily agreed "Yes" and walked over like a well-behaved cat with light cat steps.

Although Gu Jue said he wanted her to drink with him, she knew in her heart that it was actually the other way around. It was Gu Jue who drank with her.

As a result, this cup of sugar water with **** became extra sweet.

Chu Qianchen drank the sugar water slowly and asked, "My lord, do you know about Consort Lu?"

"Not familiar." Gu Jue said lightly.

It was not just for Jingle and Consort Lu. In fact, Gu Jue had been in the Northland for many years and was not very familiar with these eldest princesses of his generation.

But last time Chu Qianchen came back from Prince Li's Mansion, he said a few words about Jingle and Consort Lu.

Gu Jue already knew Chu Qianchen well. His little girl was a cold-hearted person at heart, and she was even more distinct in her treatment of people other than him.

She doesn't like to meddle in other people's business and has a clear distinction between love and hate. To her, most of the people are irrelevant and she won't even mention them. Since she said a few more words, it means that she is more interested in Jingle. Heart.

Therefore, Gu Jue asked someone to do some research. Now, when Chu Qianchen asked, he immediately said something: "The queen's aunt is Mrs. Dongping Bo, the consort is the youngest son, and the eldest son was named the heir apparent. The Dongping Bo Mansion is There has been little achievement for several generations, so the title will probably only be passed down to the prince’s generation.”

"Jingle and the consort got married two years ago. After the marriage, Mrs. Dong Pingbo went to the queen to complain to Jingle several times, saying that Jingle had a hard time having heirs and that Jingle was jealous..."

"The prince-in-law is incompetent in literature and martial arts, and has failed to do a few jobs well. Now he is idle at home, taking the prince-in-law's salary, but he doesn't pay attention to Jingle."

Consort Lu's experience was really too thin. Gu Jue finished speaking in a few words and looked at Chu Qianchen with a smile, his eyes sparkling.

Chu Qianchen heard that Mrs. Dong Pingbo was as disrespectful to Jingle as Consort Lu, and that the heirs were difficult and jealous. Aren't these all paving the way for the Consort to accept his cousin as a concubine? !

Reminiscing about what happened at Wanqing Restaurant that day, Chu Qianchen looked a little sarcastic and said, "That sister of Consort Lu is not very respectful to Jingle either."

Obviously, Lu Wenjing is so contemptuous and rude to Jingle because she has learned a lot from the Lu family.

This Prince Consort Lu took the Prince Consort's salary and ate the princess's soft rice, but he lived a pretentious "backbone" and wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

After all, it is just the word "greed" that is causing trouble.

Chu Qianchen bent his lower lip with a half-smile.

Gu Jue sighed with disappointment in his heart, and continued: "Jingle has been timid since he was a child."

Gu Jue could probably imagine that with Jingle's character, it took a lot of effort to summon up the courage to go and complain to the queen, but was blocked by the queen in an understatement. After that, Jingle naturally did not dare to complain again.

This is a vicious cycle. The more no one supports Jingle, the more the Lu family will abuse her.

Chu Qianchen lowered his eyes thoughtfully, and pursed his lower lip with a somewhat complicated expression, which seemed to be sympathetic, but also seemed to be filled with emotion of recalling the past.

She suddenly thought of herself in her previous life, the one who had just been kicked out of the house.

If I hadn't met the prince...

Chu Qianchen raised her eyes to look at Gu Jue again. At this time, she slowed down a few times and noticed that Gu Jue's face seemed to have some expectation written on it. She thought to herself: Is the prince waiting for praise?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she leaned over and kissed him on the face.

"..." Gu Jue was stunned.

It was only for a moment, and then she was pulled over by him again and held in his lap.

She also hugged his waist and buried her head in his arms.

He kissed the top of her hair tenderly, held her with one hand, and gently rubbed her small, white earlobes with the other. The earlobes that had removed the earrings were round and plump, with a red glow visible to the naked eye.

Gu Jue hugged her tighter and sighed helplessly: Although the little girl has symptoms of awakening, she is still too young after all. It's still more than half a year before she gets her haircut!

The next eight months will be really long...

The thought just came up, but he killed it again.

He then thought about it, waiting is also a kind of protection.

His little girl had done so much for him, so why not wait.

She was worthy of his waiting, worthy of him placing her at the top of his heart.

Gu Jue hooked her little finger with his little finger. Chu Qianchen didn't know why, but still subconsciously hooked his little finger and shook it.

The hook used to hang someone is not allowed to change for a hundred years.

Although the two of them didn't speak, they had a clear understanding of each other.

Gu Jue could feel her attachment from her small movements, and his heart throbbed and became hot.

Gu Jue looked at her, smiling slightly, his eyebrows shining.

Chu Qianchen felt his good mood and smiled crookedly.

She liked to see him smile.

Chu Qianchen raised his hand to touch his lips. However, just as his fingers touched his chin, Jiang Yuan's embarrassed cough came from outside the door curtain: "Princess, Princess Jingle is awake."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Qianchen jumped off Gu Jue's lap, and the soft jade fragrance that Gu Jue was holding in his arms disappeared.

Gu Jue: "..."

While Chu Qianchen was arranging his hair and clothes, he turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I'll be back soon."

She left like the wind, and the sound of the door curtain falling was mixed with someone's sigh.

Chu Qianchen put on another new cloak prepared by Jiang Yuan and hurried to Xieyue Pavilion where Jingle lived temporarily.

Jingle was indeed awake, and she was sitting on the couch leaning against the big pillow. Her long, thick black hair was spread over her aqua clothes, making her small and pale cheeks look even more delicate.

She heard people outside calling Princess, so she immediately looked in the direction of Chu Qianchen, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Amber was still in the room. She blessed Chu Qianchen first and said, "Princess, the eldest princess has just taken the decoction, and her fever has begun to go away."

Jingle rested for nearly two hours, underwent acupuncture, and drank medicine. The effect was obvious. She was in much better spirits than when Chu Qianchen saw her outside the palace.

There was light in the empty eyes again, as if a traveler who had been walking in the dark for a long time finally saw the smoke of life when he was exhausted.

"Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors," Jingle squeezed out a sad, bitter smile, coughed twice, and whispered, "I came to Prince Chen's Mansion without knowing it, and I must have caused you a lot of trouble."

Her voice was weak and hoarse, empty and weak, and her wry smile contained a little dependence on Chu Qianchen.

It was dusk now, and the maid lit two lanterns. The bright yellow light shone on Jingle's pale face, but it did not reflect any warmth.

Both body and mind.

Although she was in a place as bright as day, Jingle felt helpless in her heart as darkness was approaching. Her heart was filled with confusion, sadness, and desolation. The heavy feeling made her breathless.

Chu Qianchen winked at Amber calmly, and Amber brought a glass of warm water tacitly and handed it to Chu Qianchen first.

"Jingle, drink more warm water." Chu Qianchen sat down by the couch and handed the cup of warm water to Jingle who was sitting on the couch. He deliberately slowed down his movements and took advantage of the situation to take Jingle's pulse. .

Although she was deficient in energy and blood, her pulse was much more stable than before.

Jingle carefully took the cup of tea with a solemn attitude, as if she was holding something beautiful.

When the two exchanged words, Jingle's eyes fell on Chu Qianchen's fingers.

She knew that these seemingly slender hands could draw the bow with perfect accuracy.

Her sister-in-law is not only tough in character, but also has enough strength.

Unlike her hands, which were sickly pale, weak, and powerless.

Her fingers are like thin willow branches that can be easily broken...

Thinking about it, Jingle seemed to hear the thin sound of the willow branch breaking, and unconsciously held the teacup in her hand tighter.

In a daze, she heard Chu Qianchen instructing the maid to call the good doctor from the palace, and then asked her in a gentle tone: "Jingle, do you want to take you back to the princess's palace?"

"..." Jingle's eyes suddenly opened wide, and she shook her head wildly, then shook her head again, even spilling some of the warm water in her hand.

Finally, she bit her lip and said again: "I won't go back."

Five words that are too bitter to bear.

Seeing Jingle's frightened look, Chu Qianchen knew clearly. Even if he didn't ask, he would have guessed: it was Consort Lu who did it again.

Chu Qianchen didn't ask, but Jingle wanted to talk. There were some words she had buried in her heart for a long time. After she started talking, the next words seemed to become easier to say: "Sister-in-law Jiuhuang, I will never come back again." Princess Mansion."

"The prince-in-law is my husband-in-law. We should respect each other as guests and grow old together, but I hate him."

"I am a princess, but after getting married, my life is not as good as that of an ordinary citizen."

"The prince-in-law not only took his cousin as his concubine, but also said that after she gave birth to the child, he would make her his equal wife. The prince-in-law also took a hairpin from my dowry and gave it to his cousin. This is my My biological mother left me something, but I don’t even have the ability to get it back.”

Her biological mother had a low status and died young, leaving her little things. Only this hairpin was given to her by the late emperor because of her birth.

Jingle usually has a temperament that keeps everything in his mind and rarely talks about it, but when facing Chu Qianchen, it is a little different, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, he talks about everything.

After Jingle talked a lot, he didn't feel happy because of it. Instead, his body started to tremble like chaff.

It was a reaction of extreme self-loathing.

Her eyes were red and tears welled up in her eyes. She felt so useless.

She was a princess, a person of great beauty to others, but how could she live like this? !

In fact, Jingle didn't explain it very clearly. He was just venting his suppressed emotions for a long time. However, Chu Qianchen understood the whole story immediately after considering the cause and effect.

Consort Lu not only ignored the princess's dignity and took his cousin as a concubine, but also doted on the concubine and destroyed his wife. He married the princess's companion to his concubine without authorization. Jingle should have wanted to get back her mother's concubine's belongings, but instead, Injured by the Prince Consort.

As for whether he hurt someone intentionally or unintentionally, that doesn't matter. He couldn't have "accidentally" slapped Jingle with a whip last time, and now he "accidentally" pushed her against the corner of the table, right?

Chu Qianchen's eyes were cold. She didn't like men who hit women.

The air in the Nuan Pavilion seemed to be condensed for an instant, and the atmosphere was silent and depressing.

After a moment of silence, Chu Qianchen suddenly moved and raised his hand to touch Jingle's head.

This is how the prince comforted her.

He always touched her head like this when comforting, appreciating, and encouraging.

"..." Jingle's body trembled again, and her tears suddenly stopped.

The originally confused and confused eyes seemed to have found focus, and their eyes began to calm down.

She stared at Chu Qianchen, her eyes becoming more and more dependent, like a chick that had broken its shell and opened its eyes, recognizing the first thing it saw as its mother.

In the morning, when she came out of the princess's house, it had just started to snow. At that time, she was at a loss. She didn't know where she could go. She didn't even have her natal family; she didn't know what to do in the future. She felt that she Living or dying has no impact on anyone.

In this huge capital, no one would care if there was one more of her or one less of her.

She wanted to go and die, but when she walked past Wanqing Restaurant, she suddenly thought of Chu Qianchen's wantonness that day.

She was envious and longing for Chu Qianchen. She wanted to become someone like Chu Qianchen.

Unknowingly, she walked outside Prince Chen's Mansion. But after she came over, she regretted it and did not dare to knock on the door, fearing that Chu Qianchen would annoy her as an uninvited guest.

So Jingle sat down at the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion. Even she didn't know how long she sat there until Chu Qianchen found her and called her name...

Jingle looked at Chu Qianchen with burning eyes: Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors is so kind, and she even picked her up.

Amber looked back and forth between Chu Qianchen and Jingle. She always felt that Jingle's eyes were weird...how should I put it, it reminded her of the way the princess looked at the prince in the past.

It seems that the way the princess looks at the prince is different now. What is the difference?

Amber couldn't explain why, and felt a little confused.

The three people in the room had different thoughts, and the crackling sound of burning candle oil occasionally erupted in the silent air.

In this weird atmosphere, a little maid came over with the palace's good doctor.

The good doctor is a man in his fifties with a lot of silver threads in his hair. He is a military doctor who retired from the Northland Army. Naturally, he can treat minor ailments such as wind and cold injuries.

The good doctor bowed respectfully to Chu Qianchen, and Chu Qianchen got out of the way, giving the good doctor the space here.

The good doctor went to check Jingle's pulse.

He knew the princess's medical skills, so he didn't do anything unnecessary. After feeling for her pulse, he politely said a few relevant precautions, then applied ointment on Jingle and bandaged her again.

Shiquan ointment exudes a very light herbal fragrance. If you don't smell it carefully, you can't smell it at all.

Because Chu Qianchen had given Jingle a small jar of Shiquan ointment before, Jingle was already very familiar with the smell of this ointment and immediately smelled it. It was the same ointment.

Jingle took the small jar of ointment and sniffed it gently, her eyes getting brighter.

Chu Qianchen said warmly: "Jingle, use this ointment morning and night, and there will be no scars on your face."

Jingle nodded heavily and held the small jar of ointment firmly in his hand.

Her protective posture is like a person with nothing holding a rare treasure, or like a dying person seeing hope, with eyes shining like gems.

Seeing Jingle like this, Chu Qianchen couldn't help but feel soft, and once again overlapped her with his previous life.

Sometimes, all a drowning person needs is someone to reach out and give her a hand.

The good doctor came and then left. When the door curtain was opened, a gust of wind blew in. The wind playfully got into the lampshade, causing the flames inside to sway brightly and covertly, adding some solemnity to the warm pavilion. Feel.

Chu Qianchen was sitting next to the lantern, and the light and shadow flickered on her face.

She looked deeply at Jingle on the couch and asked, "Do you want to reconcile? Since life is not good, why do you continue to live it?"

Apart from Shen, this is the first time Chu Qianchen persuades people to leave.

If it weren't for Jingle being Gu Jue's imperial sister, if it weren't for Jingle's kindness to her, if it wasn't for Jingle reminding her of herself in her previous life, Chu Qianchen would never have been able to say these words.

Jingle's eyes widened in shock and her mouth opened slightly, obviously in extreme shock.

After the shock, she recovered slightly, and her face and eyes darkened again, as if the fire in her eyes had been extinguished.

She said nonchalantly: "Brother Huang will not agree."

Her voice was very soft and without confidence, and by the last word it was already inaudible.

Although she had never asked the emperor and did not dare to ask, everyone knew that the emperor was the most face-saving person. The emperor would definitely not agree and would punish her. Even the prince was punished for making the emperor displeased.

Besides, Consort Lu is the Queen’s cousin, and the Queen will not agree to it either, even...

More importantly, there has never been a divorced princess in the history of Daqi. Why should she be the first? !

The more Jingle thought about it, the more impossible it became. She bit her lower lip until it almost bled.

She must have disappointed the Nine Emperors Wife. Jingle felt ashamed, her eyes moved slightly, and she moved her gaze downwards, looking straight at Chu Qianchen with no shame.

Jingle's thoughts were not difficult to guess. Chu Qianchen thought about it with his toes, and he could guess what Jingle was afraid of at the moment, and he sighed in his heart.

In her opinion, Jingle's best choice is of course to reconcile with that consort Lu and kick such a wolf-hearted thing as far away as possible.

It's natural for the prince-in-law to eat soft rice. The problem is that he still behaves when he gets an advantage. What's worse, he bites Jingle back.

Why should I keep this unfamiliar white-eyed wolf? Is Buheli going to keep it for the New Year? !

However, Chu Qianchen can't make decisions about other people's lives.

As the saying goes, it takes one day to freeze three feet.

There is no way a little white rabbit can turn into a leopard just because of someone else's few words.

Chu Qianchen took a sip of tea slowly and said lightly: "Since we can't reconcile, let the consort obey."

"Living in the princess's mansion, all the food and clothing are provided by the princess, and he also uses the princess's money to take concubines. Hehe, even if he has a pretty face, he knows how to make you happy."

Amber stood a few steps behind, nodding her head in agreement, and sighing in her heart: What kind of prince-in-law! Among the people, isn't this the case of a son-in-law who steps in and wants to have three wives and four concubines, so that the children he has with his concubines can inherit the family property? ! Why don't they just rush to other people's homes and rob them openly? It's so shameless!

"..." Jingle clenched her hands into fists, her eyes flickered slightly, and an unusually complicated expression appeared on her face. She raised her face and looked at Chu Qianchen again.

Her lips moved but she hesitated to speak.

Seeing that Jingle seemed to be a little moved, Chu Qianchen said with a smile: "This matter is very simple."

"If you don't obey, you'll be beaten. If you're beaten once and you still don't obey, then you'll be beaten twice."

"..." Jingle looked at Chu Qianchen without blinking, her eyes as bright as reflecting the stars in the summer night.

Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors is so pretty!

With a face like white jade, curved willow eyebrows, and bright phoenix eyes, there is always a faint smile on the face, showing a confident, calm, wise and sassy face.

Jiuhuang's sister-in-law was like a jewel by her side, making her feel ashamed.

The corners of Jingle's lips twitched. She believed that if she were the Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors, she would definitely be able to do what she just said.

Not like her.

It would be great if she could be like Nine Emperors Wife.

Jingle stared at Chu Qianchen for a while, and her fair cheeks gradually turned red, from her cheeks to the roots of her ears.

She lowered her eyes again, got down from the couch a little at a loss, and said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors, I'll take my leave now."

Chu Qianchen: "???"

amber:"???"

Both master and servant were confused. Chu Qianchen looked at Jingle who was putting on shoes hastily and asked, "Where are you going?"

"..." Jingle was silent, embarrassed and confused.

She has nowhere to go.

When a girl from Beppu gets married, she will at least still have her parents' family to go to, but she...

Jingle swallowed and stammered: "I...I have another house, I will live there."

At this time, she finally put on her shoes, blessed Chu Qianchen, and ran out with small steps.

Chu Qianchen: "..."

Chu Qianchen stood up without stopping her and said at the same time: "Jingle, I'll see you off."

The snow outside has stopped. At a glance, the ground, walls, and branches are all covered with a thin layer of snow. The branches are covered with thick winter colors under the weight of the snow.

Chu Qianchen sent people straight to the Waiyi Gate of the palace and watched Jingle go out from the West Corner Gate.

After a while, the corner door closed with a "squeak".

But Chu Qianchen did not leave immediately. Instead, she stood quietly in the distance. She raised her head slightly, looking through the snow-covered branches and staring at the gloomy sky.

She was not wearing a hood, and when the wind blew, a few strands of her black hair flew playfully in the wind.

Amber was afraid that Chu Qianchen would catch cold, so she softly shouted: "Princess."

Only then did Chu Qianchen react. He slowly took it back, threw it at the corner door, and said, "Let's go."

Before she finished speaking, she had already taken steps out, but instead of heading towards the inner courtyard, she headed towards the closed corner door.

As soon as the corner door opened, Amber saw another familiar figure next to the stone lion outside the door.

Jingle, wearing a new cloak, huddled in his old place at the door and sat down again.

There were a few strands of hair covering her pale, papery cheeks, and there was a sense of sadness and confusion all over her body.

Chu Qianchen and Hu Hu's master and servant saw Jingle at a glance, but Jingle, who was in a state of despair, didn't notice it at all, and his eyes were dull.

It wasn't until Chu Qianchen walked in front of her to block the light that Jingle realized that her eyes were getting dark, and she raised her head stupidly.

The two looked at each other, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Chu Qianchen smiled lightly at her.

Jingle: “…”

Jingle was like a thief who had been caught red-handed. She was embarrassed and ashamed. Her little face turned from white to red little by little, from water red, pink, bright red... all the way to blood red.

Jingle was speechless as if she was mute, and her hands hidden in the cloak were wrung together even more forcefully.

The person who broke the silence was Chu Qianchen: "Jingle, why don't you stay in the palace first."

Jingle's reaction was to shake her head desperately.

She is afraid of the Nine Emperor Brothers.

Whether it is the former Nine Emperors Brothers or the current Nine Emperors Brothers.

When he was a boy, Brother Jiuhuang was the kind of person who would catch snakes and play with them without changing his expression. If the Queen Mother hadn't objected, he might have kept a snake as a pet;

The Nine Emperor Brother is now less talkative than before, but Jingle thinks he is even more terrifying.

If she saw the Nine Emperors Brother, she would definitely not even dare to raise her head, let alone leave the house. After all, the chance of "encountering" the Nine Emperors Brothers in the palace was too high.

Seeing the pair of invisible rabbit ears hanging down on Jingle's head, Chu Qianchen couldn't help laughing.

She was convinced that Jingle was neither willing to return to the Princess's Mansion nor to live in Prince Chen's Mansion.

This couldn't be easier said than done.

Chu Qianchen suggested: "I have a dowry house in the next street. Jingle, do you want to stay there temporarily?"

Most of Chu Qianchen's dowry was the dowry that Shen had prepared for Chu Qianhuang in the past, but this house was not. It was specially bought by Shen for Chu Qianchen after the emperor's imperial edict of marriage was issued.

Mrs. Shen told Chu Qianchen at that time that if she had a disagreement with King Chen and didn't want to go back to her parents' home, she could go to this nearby house to relax.

Chu Qianchen never thought that there would be any quarrel between her and the prince, but she also thought that the location of this house was good, so she let Jingle live in it first.

Jingle's eyes sparkled when she heard this, her face was slightly flushed, and she almost blurted out and asked, is it true?

Jingle burst into laughter at the thought that she could live in Jiuhuang's sister-in-law's house, her heart was as happy as a sparrow flapping its wings, and she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

She pursed her lips and nodded vigorously with an honest expression.

At this moment, all the haze in her eyes dissipated, as if spring had arrived early, and the bright and warm spring light had dispelled the winter haze.
