Chapter 317: 317 missed (second update)
Chapter 317 317 missed (second update)
Outside the Zhuqi Gate, the carriage Chu Qianchen was riding in was heading towards Zhuque Street.
The streets were empty at night. Although it was not curfew time yet, there was no one else on the street. Only this carriage was driving on the spacious street.
Jiang Yuan, who usually sat next to the coachman, was also called into the carriage by Chu Qianchen. Jiang Yuan was wearing a thin green shirt and was not afraid of the cold. This was in sharp contrast to Chu Qianchen, who was holding a sleeve stove and wearing a coat.
"Jiang Yuan, did anything happen when you went to the princess's mansion?" Chu Qianchen was lazily leaning in the carriage, his posture not very "ladylike", Hu Bo felt in his heart that his girl must have imitated the prince.
Thinking about it, Amber didn't say anything. She was sure that the princess would take this as a compliment.
Jiang Yuan replied dryly: "Princess, the person who receives the slaves is Consort Lu's aunt Liu, and Consort Lu is not here. I heard that Aunt Liu is in charge of the princess's mansion now, and she is in charge of the middle and high-level people. All listen to her."
"When the slave was about to take the people away, Aunt Liu wanted to stop her, saying that she would not be able to explain when the prince-in-law came back. She also said that she would accompany the slave to see the eldest princess, stand under a bush and apologize to the eldest princess. After a while, she asked the slave to wait a little longer. Said that she would immediately send someone to deliver the message to the consort and Mrs. Dong Pingbo..."
Aunt Liu was determined to stop Jiang Yuan, and she also wanted to use Consort Lu and Mrs. Dong Pingbo to suppress him. However, Jiang Yuan was not an ordinary maid. Her methods were extremely rough and she would beat anyone who disobeyed. Anyway, she had the support of the princess.
Listening to this, Amber looked a little sighing and sighed, "It's no wonder Her Royal Highness the Princess is leaving."
Isn't this a dove occupying a magpie's nest? Who can live in such a place?
Jingle was so aggrieved. That Aunt Huang wanted her to go back and confess her mistake to Prince Consort Lu. Wasn't that just letting Prince Consort Lu and Aunt Liu humiliate the princess? !
If Jingle goes back like this this time, the future life will only be worse, and Consort Lu and the others will only become more unscrupulous.
Amber originally felt that Jingle's temperament was too soft, and she felt that she couldn't help her. However, now that she listened to Jiang Yuan's words and thought about the behavior of the three palace servants serving Jingle, she also understood why her temper was so weak. It will be so soft that it can be rubbed by others.
Chu Qianchen closed his eyes and listened without saying a word.
She quietly closed her eyes and rested her mind for a while, but it was only a moment. Prince Chen's Mansion was not far away, in fact, it was within walking distance.
If it weren't for the cold weather, Chu Qianchen would not take the carriage. Instead, he would prefer to enjoy the night breeze and take a walk.
After getting off the carriage at the Waiyi Gate of the palace, Chu Qianchen learned from Aunt Cai that Gu Jue was still waiting for her to have dinner with her, and he suddenly became as fast as the wind.
In this winter, when she walked back to the main courtyard, there was a slight sweat on her forehead.
"Your Majesty." Chu Qianchen shouted sweetly.
There was already a tacit understanding between him and her that didn't require too many words. Gu Jue glanced at her gently and knew why she was breathing heavily.
He took a sweat towel, wiped her sweat carefully, and then asked someone to serve her food.
Chu Qianchen calmly allowed him to serve her, and even raised her face slightly to match his movements without stopping her mouth: "I sent Jingle to my dowry house, which is on the next street."
"I asked her to reconcile, but she didn't dare."
"Later, I told her again..."
Chu Qianchen dared to say anything to Gu Jue, but Amber on the side was a little afraid to listen, especially the statement "If you don't obey, you will be beaten."
Is the shocking statement that the princess encouraged the eldest princess to beat the prince consort really suitable to be told to the prince?
Amber couldn't help but glance at Gu Jue's expression, and saw that Gu Jue was smiling. She even saw the feeling of pampering and pleasure in those cold eyes.
Amber felt that she had been fed a mouthful of candy by the two masters. It was too sweet and too greasy.
Yes, the prince is not an ordinary person, so naturally we cannot talk about it from an ordinary person's point of view. Maybe the princess said she wanted to beat someone up, and the prince's first reaction was to give her a team of guards or a black armor army.
When Chu Qianchen was talking about something, the two maids who came to set up the meal came in with food boxes and neatly set out five dishes and one soup. The topic of Jingle ended here for the time being.
After having dinner and drinking digestion tea, Chu Qianchen went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After about a stick of incense, she came out with wet hair, the tips of her hair were dripping with water, and her body was still exuding wisps of heat.
Next, Hu Bo retreated. It was no longer her turn, and Chu Qianchen was taken over by Gu Jue.
Gu Jue asked Chu Qianchen to sit down on the dressing table and carefully wrung her hair bit by bit.
Her hair exudes a faint scent of roses, which is the scent of rose-flavored soap, fresh, sweet, and refreshing.
While Chu Qianchen was drinking hot scented tea, he glanced at Gu Jue reflected in the mirror.
Even if she didn't look, she could tell that his movements were gentle and light, as if he was afraid of losing a hair on her head.
Just looking at him like this, Chu Qianchen felt very happy and said to the person in the mirror: "Take your time."
She wanted him to take his time, but Gu Jue was afraid that she would catch a cold and didn't dare to slow down. Under the baking of the charcoal brazier, Chu Qianchen's hair gradually dried up, leaving only the fragrance of roses lingering in his nose.
Gu Jue's fingers lingered lovingly among her thick hair. He picked up a strand of hair and wrapped it between his fingers. He bent down and placed a cool kiss on the strand of hair wrapped around his fingers.
Chu Qianchen looked at this scene through the mirror. From this angle, his eyelashes were drooping, thick black, long, and curled, like comb grates.
His handsome face is like the cold moon hanging in the night sky outside the window, so noble, so elegant, but also with a hint of charm.
Chu Qianchen's face started to turn red again, getting hotter little by little, and his heartbeat was also speeding up.
While her mind was in confusion, she blurted out and asked: "My lord, have you washed your hair?"
Gu Jue said: "Yeah."
After receiving Gu Jue's affirmative answer, Chu Qianchen felt inexplicably disappointed. He pursed his lower lip and suddenly thought of another thing, so he asked: "My lord, do you know that the Ministry of War is going to select some martial arts students from the Imperial Academy?" Participating in the Spring Military Exercise?”
"That's what happened." Gu Jue was gently combing Chu Qianchen's hair with a peachwood comb, and nodded casually, "It seems that Kang Hongda and the Ministry of War suggested it to the emperor."
Chu Qianchen looked at Gu Jue in the mirror and said, "Brother Yi wants to go."
"It's not a bad idea." Gu Jue said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with him taking this opportunity to practice and see something. Recently, he has been performing more and more decently in Xuanjia Camp."
After a pause, he added: "Originally, I planned to have someone take him out for some practical training, but the time just happened to happen, so forget it, there will always be opportunities in the future anyway."
Chu Qianchen said "Oh" and said nonchalantly: "Your Majesty, you can make the decision."
Anyway, with the prince in charge of Chu Yunyi, this silly boy will always be smarter!
The prince is the best at training people. If a stupid boy continues to act stupid like this, he is probably hopeless.
Chu Qianchen thought to himself and smiled at Gu Jue, cute and well-behaved.
Now that he had mentioned it to Gu Jue, Chu Qianchen had forgotten the matter and had no intention of mentioning Gu Jue's plans to Chu Yunyi.
Chu Qianchen didn't say anything. Tang Yuchu went to tell Chu Yunyi about the actual battle in person the next day. Chu Yunyi was so shocked that he almost lost his mind and repeated Tang Yuchu's words blankly: "We are setting off today?"
"Yes." Tang Yuchu nodded affirmatively.
Marching operations are like this. It would inevitably reveal the military plan. They often do not let the soldiers below know the next arrangements in advance. The Xuanjia Army has always been famous for surprise attacks. It is common for the soldiers to set off immediately after hearing the order in the middle of the night. This Although this is just a practical exercise and not a formal duel between the two armies, it also tests the soldiers' ability to adapt and obey.
The Xuanjia Army is a peerless sword that protects Daqi. It has a reputation that is enough to frighten the barbarians from all directions, and it is enough to leave its name in history.
Now that the war between Da Qi and Chi Di has ended, this famous sword has been put into its sheath, but it cannot be allowed to rust. Only by taking it out and sharpening it can we ensure the sharpness of this sword and turn the tide in critical moments to protect the people. comprehensive.
Chu Yunyi was not a formal member of the Xuanjia Army, and it was up to him whether to go or not, so Tang Yuchu came to tell him, mainly so that he would not have to go to the Xuanjia Camp during this period.
Then, Tang Yuchu added: "If we leave, we won't be able to come back until at least the first month of the year."
Chu Yunyi's eyes flashed twice.
In other words, if he followed, he would definitely miss the selection and training of the Forbidden Army.
"Brother Tang, I'll go with you." Chu Yunyi's eyes were bright and he made a decision decisively without any hesitation, even though he had been preparing for this selection for more than twenty days.
Compared with the actual combat drills of the Xuanjia Army, the military exercises of the Forbidden Army are just a show, what the heck!
There are big fish and big meat to eat, so who cares about the small miscellaneous fish with only fish bones and fish bones?
Chu Yunyi was afraid that Tang Yuchu would not take him there, so he took a big step forward and wanted to pinch Tang Yuchu's sleeve, his eyes bright as morning stars.
However, Tang Yuchu had developed the skill of "not touching his body", and he reacted very quickly, turning sideways and dodging lightly.
Although Chu Yunyi has become more skilled in the past few months, compared to Tang Yuchu, the difference between a child and an adult is still far away.
Chu Yunyi was used to being abused in Xuanjia Camp, and he was humiliated in front of people like Tang Yuchu and Xue Fengyan. Anyway, they had seen him in such miserable state.
"I want to go! I want to go!" He said eagerly, turning into a pitiful little boy, with an attitude of "If you don't take him, he will cry on the spot."
Tang Yuchu took a few steps back, as if he was afraid of being entangled by Chu Yunyi, so he avoided it and said, "If you want to go, just go and tell the prince yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunyi ran away like a gust of wind, fearing that if he moved too slowly, Tang Yuchu and the others would leave him and set off first.
