The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 101 101 Promise

"..." Qin Yao's mouth twitched, confirming again that this little miracle doctor was definitely two-faced.

Qin Yao couldn't help but wink at Gu Jue and complain, meaning, Brother Jiu, look at her!

The corners of Gu Jue's lips curled up, and his pure smile suddenly softened his originally cold face. His handsome features were like the rising sun outside the window, and even the water pavilion seemed to light up because of his smile.

Chu Qianchen also smiled with him, his eyebrows curved, revealing a pair of shallow pear dimples on his cheeks.

Well, although Qin Yao was not worried, he was still capable of "entertaining relatives with colorful clothes", so she tolerated him.

Gu Jue added: "After I leave Beijing, I also hope that Miss Chu will come to the palace in about three days, and I will ask Yunzhan to pick you up at Jishi Hall."

"Okay." Chu Qianchen responded directly, delicately and well-behaved.

She still agreed unconditionally and didn't ask the reason at all, but Gu Jue said straight away: "I need to leave Beijing for a while, and I have to cover it up by being seriously ill."

"I'll come!" Chu Qianchen nodded again solemnly, understanding Gu Jue's intention.

Since the emperor knew that the prince was seriously ill, he asked the emperor to implement this idea and make the emperor think that the prince was ill and that was why he stayed behind closed doors. In this way, the prince could take the opportunity to leave the capital to avoid being discovered by the emperor.

Gu Jue stared at her solemn face, his heart moved slightly, and even the smile on his lips was tinged with softness and charm.

He stood up suddenly and said, "Follow me."

Chu Qianchen followed immediately.

Qin Yao didn't even have time to say anything, the two of them had already headed outside the water pavilion.

Qin Yao pulled off Yun Zhan's sleeve and gave him a look, meaning, do you feel that these two people feel like there is no one around them.

Yunzhan: "..."

"Your Majesty, do you want to go back to your room?" Yunzhan asked tentatively.

Qin Yao felt that he couldn't talk to him and Mo Chen at all. One of them was heartless and the other was ice cube.

Chu Qianchen didn't care about Qin Yao at all and followed Gu Jue step by step.

The weather today was sunny and the sun was shining high, casting a long shadow behind Gu Jue.

Chu Qianchen behind him was just in Gu Jue's shadow.

Gu Jue's steps were slow and leisurely, elegant and leisurely.

Chu Qianchen raised his eyes and looked at his tall back, and couldn't help but think of his past life.

In her previous life, she often walked behind him like this, sheltering under his wings.

In her previous life, she worked hard to learn medical skills without sleep or food, just to protect him and do something for him...

While thinking, Gu Jue in front suddenly stopped and looked back at her.

When the two looked at each other, Chu Qianchen couldn't help but laugh again. Only then did he notice the surrounding scenery from the corner of his eye, and blurted out: "Are we going to a martial arts field?"

A few feet ahead of them was the martial arts arena.

Chu Qianchen came here often in his previous life, so he was naturally very familiar with this area.

"Yes." Gu Jue responded and motioned for Chu Qianchen to follow him.

When a long wooden box appeared in front of her, Chu Qianchen realized why Gu Jue had called her to the martial arts field.

"Is this for me?"

While speaking, Chu Qianchen's hand had already picked up the black Jurchen bow placed in the wooden box.

This bow is very light and is obviously smaller than the bows used by ordinary men. It should be a bow specially customized for women.

Chu Qianchen couldn't put it down and looked at the Jurchen bow in his hand again and again, and thought to himself: The prince is so kind!

It must be because a few days ago, she told him about Chu Yunmu's face being injured by a broken string. He knew that she didn't have her own bow, so he specially gave her one.

In fact, the shop where she ordered the knives also made bows. She originally planned to customize bows and arrows there, but she was in a hurry to get the knives, so she could only forcefully offer a high price and let the craftsmen make the knives first, so the bow was made. Put it aside for now.

Chu Qianchen smiled brightly, and his face without makeup seemed to be shimmering with spring light under the bright sunlight. His cheeks were as smooth as jade, and his clear phoenix eyes were shining.

Gu Jue didn't need to ask her if she liked it, he just said: "Try it."

He handed her a feathered arrow.

Chu Qianchen was not polite to him at all, he skillfully drew the bow and then shot the arrow.

The result was, of course, a hit on the target.

She tried three arrows in a row, taking ten steps back each time, and each arrow hit the target.

In her previous life, the prince personally taught her the art of archery. Even after the prince passed away, she never slacked off.

She would not disappoint the prince and used this as a means of self-defense.

Looking at the girl with bright eyes in front of him, Gu Jue felt his heart become clear.

This girl looks like a fragile and delicate flower, but in fact her vitality is stronger than that of weeds. It seems that no matter where she is, whether it is ice and snow, cliffs, or deserts, she can survive and be full of vitality.

Seeing that Gu Jue didn't speak, Chu Qianchen walked towards him and tugged on his wide sleeves with his slender white fingers.

"My lord, can I **** well?" She looked at him expectantly.

Gu Jue smiled slightly, "Very good."

"If you have any questions from now on, you can go directly to Xue Fengyan."

Chu Qianchen's eyes widened slightly, and she was startled for a moment, and then a bright smile spread across her little face.

So, she will be "one of our own" in Prince Chen's Mansion from now on, right? !

Just like the previous life!

Chu Qianchen felt that she was already dizzy and her feet felt light. No matter what Gu Jue said later, she responded stupidly.

Until an hour later, when she came out of the house next door to Prince Chen's Mansion, she still felt as if she was walking on the clouds.

When she went in, she only had a small wooden box in her hand that served as a medicine box. When she came out, the small wooden box contained the herbs used to make Dazao Pills and two bows, one of which was for Chu Yunmu.

Chu Qianchen felt that today could not be more perfect, and he happily embarked on his return journey.

On the way back, she stopped by the blacksmith shop. The two knives were already forged, exactly as they were on her drawings.

She gave the craftsmen more money and asked the craftsman to make three more pairs, and then came out of the blacksmith shop.

Now there is only the last seven-star grass left. The people from Jialou should be approaching Hao Kingdom soon.

As Chu Qianchen walked, he was thinking in his mind. In addition to the medicine he usually took, he had to prepare a Jiuxu ointment, commonly used antidotes, soothing incense, etc. for the prince.

By the way, she also had to carefully consider the pills she prepared for the prince. She had to make sure that the effect of the pills was as close as possible to the decoction.

She was silently thinking about what medicinal materials she wanted, and was going to go to Jishitang to get some medicine...

Chu Qianchen was absent-minded. In addition to holding the two bows for her, Amber also had to help her watch the road, remind her to be careful from time to time, or occasionally pull her.

"Girl." Hu Huo gently pulled Chu Qianchen once again, leaned into her ear and said, "It's the eldest young master."

Chu Qianchen, who was still in a daze, blinked and then slowly realized that the eldest young master was referring to Chu Yunyi.

"Over there." Amber raised her hand and pointed in the direction, pointing to a restaurant diagonally opposite.

The three characters "Yunting Pavilion" are written in flying colors on the plaque.

This restaurant is well-known in Beijing. It is opened by Prince Shun's Mansion. It usually entertains the children of noble families.

A familiar face appeared from a window on the second floor of the restaurant, it was Chu Yunyi.

Chu Qianchen blinked and saw Chu Qianhuang and Gu Nanzhao also showing half of their faces. Chu Qianhuang waved to her.

Didn’t Chu Qianhuang enter the palace? This was Chu Qianchen's first thought, and then she realized that she was not wearing a veil today.

Now, even if she goes to buy a veil, she will definitely not be able to go to Jishi Hall. After all, her red dress is too eye-catching.

This place is only one street away from Jishi Hall. If she just left like this, it would be too deliberate and it would be easy for people to think too much and even speculate about her original destination.

Chu Qianchen thought for a while and said to Hu Hu, "Let's go over and take a look."

Amber naturally followed Chu Qianchen into Yunting Pavilion.

Chu Yunyi has sent his servant down to pick up Chu Qianchen.

"Second Miss, please come this way." The boy led Chu Qianchen up to the private seats on the second floor, and reminded him tactfully, "Today the eldest lady, the eldest young master, the second prince, and the third princess are out to play."

Meaning, there are a lot of people today.

There were eight or nine people in the elegant seating room named Lan, most of whom were similar in age and dressed in luxurious clothes.

Except for the Chu family and Gu Nanzhao, Chu Qianchen didn't recognize most of them. At this age in her previous life, she could hardly leave the house. Later, after she was kicked out of the house, she stayed with the prince.

From the capital to the north.

It wasn't until the capital was captured by Qin Yao's army that she returned here...

"Second sister, what a coincidence." Chu Qianling smiled slightly, with a sinister tone in her voice.

She still wore a veil on her face, and her eyes were fixed on Chu Qianchen, but because of the other people present, she did not dare to have an attack.

The eyes of everyone in the private seats flocked to Chu Qianchen, some widened their eyes in surprise, some showed admiration, and some had a flash of jealousy in their eyes...

"This is my second sister." Chu Qianhuang said immediately, and introduced Chu Qianchen to everyone with a smile, and also introduced the people present to Chu Qianchen, "Second sister, this is Your Highness the Third Princess. Prince Shun, Princess Changning, Second Young Master of Marquis Jing'an..."

"Sister, you are so beautiful!" the third princess praised innocently.

The third princess is about thirteen years old. She is wearing a pink skirt and a cute double-snail bun. She has a pair of big almond eyes embedded in her heart-shaped face. She is clear and bright. Her smile is pure and innocent, like a clean white paper. .

Everyone in the seats couldn't help but look at Chu Qianchen more.

The third princess is right, this second girl of Chu is really beautiful.

Red is very attractive, and the fiery red color worn by Chu Qianchen is the best among them. The bright color is like hunting flames. If the owner cannot suppress it, the person will become a foil to the clothes, and the glory will be taken away by the clothes.

This bright fiery red jacket looks perfect when worn on Chu Qianchen.

Her pair of phoenix eyes shining with hope, red lips and jade teeth, black crow hair and fiery red clothes set off her skin like gelatin.

She was like a ruby ​​​​exuding a dazzling look, and she overshadowed Chu Qianhuang, who was also wearing a fiery red dress, making it difficult for people to look away.

Seeing Chu Qianchen becoming the focus of everyone's attention, Chu Qianling's lips pressed tightly together behind her veil.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness." Chu Qianchen blessed the third princess generously.

Under so many scorching gazes, she remained calm and cool as water.

Chu Qianhuang's eyes fell from Chu Qianchen to Hu Huai behind her. Hu Huo was carrying a blue cloth bag. From the outline of the cloth bag, it could be vaguely seen that it contained a bow-shaped object.

"Second sister, is this your new bow?" Chu Qianhuang asked with a smile.

Chu Qianchen's eyes flickered and he said smoothly, "I'm looking for someone to make two bows."

"Two? Could it be that one is for Brother Yi." Chu Qianhuang raised the corners of her lips and looked towards Chu Yunyi again.

Chu Yunyi's pupils brightened slightly.

Since Chu Qianchen wanted to reconcile with him, he could reluctantly accept it.

Not wanting to, Chu Qianchen shook his head, "One bow is mine, and the other is for Brother Mu." Chu Yunyi: "..."

Chu Yunyi felt as if he had been slapped, and his face was burning.

Who is her biological brother?

She knocked herself to the ground last time, ran away after falling, and ignored him after that.

He was originally waiting for her to admit her mistake, but she didn't come for one day, two days, or three days, as if she really didn't want to recognize him as his biological brother.

"..." Chu Qianhuang was also a little surprised. She really thought that Chu Qianchen shot two bows just to reconcile with Chu Yunyi.

Chu Qianhuang's eyes darkened a bit, and her hand under the table held the handkerchief.

Originally, Chu Qianchen was just a dispensable concubine in the Hou Mansion, and no one cared about her existence at all.

However, during the period when she entered the palace as a companion in March and April, Chu Qianchen took advantage of the situation and even her mother gradually began to value Chu Qianchen.

Now, Chu Qianchen is blatantly fighting with himself, robbing himself, robbing his mother, robbing his younger brother...

She didn't even think about it, she was just a concubine.

There was an undercurrent in Chu Qianhuang's eyes, the annoyance in his heart was rising steadily, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

She seemed to be surprised and asked: "Second sister, don't you give it to Brother Yi, but only to Brother Mu?"

"Brother Mu has been telling me a few days ago that my second sister, you are good at archery. I don't know when you learned to shoot."

Chu Yunyi was not very happy and said: "She only knows a little bit about how to show off."

Chu Yunyi has not been close to Chu Qianchen since he was a child, but at least he knows that Chu Qianchen has not specifically learned riding and shooting from Master Wu, unlike Chu Qianhuang who is not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has all six skills like a man.

Chu Yunyi couldn't help but keep looking at Chu Qianchen. In the past, she always dressed very plainly. This was the first time he saw her wearing red, and it was also the first time he saw her go out...

Chu Qianchen glanced at him casually and said slowly: "It's true that I only scratch the surface, but it's enough to teach you a lesson."

Chu Yunyi suddenly remembered the scene when she was knocked to the ground that day...

He felt a little pain in his back and a little embarrassed, but there was a strange excitement in his heart, as if a voice was saying, is his sister like this?

Afterwards, Chu Yunyi thought repeatedly about how he could be overthrown by Chu Qianchen. He thought it was because he was so angry that he underestimated the enemy, and Chu Qianchen must have used some clever tricks.

As long as he was careful and didn't let her grab his wrist, she would never be able to throw him out!

Prince Shun winked and teased: "Yun Yi, your sister said she wanted to teach you a lesson!"

Several other young masters also followed suit, with teasing smiles on their faces.

Chu Yunyi, a young man of his age, was at the right age to save face. He was ashamed and annoyed, and his face burned even more.

Chu Qianling looked at Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang back and forth calmly.

In the past, she was so obsessed with the authorities that she was so stupid that she was used as a spearman by Chu Qianhuang. Now, she suddenly woke up and could see clearly that Chu Qianhuang really did not like Chu Qianchen. He used to instigate her and Chu Qianchen, and now he is instigating Chu Qianchen. Qian Chen and Chu Yunyi.

Chu Qianling curled her lips mockingly. No matter what Chu Qianhuang's intentions are, at least their goals are the same. In the past, Chu Qianhuang used him, and now he can also use Chu Qianhuang.

Chu Qianling suddenly said: "Brother, I always hear my uncle praising you for your good archery skills. Today I want to see who is better, you or my second sister."

She looked smiling, as if imitating other people's teasing, she was cute and cute.

Gu Nanzhao has always loved beauty, and he likes girls to be delicate and pretty. The reason why he likes Chu Qianchen's sword dance is also because of the saying, "In the past, there was a beautiful lady named Gongsun, whose sword dance moved the world."

Bow bending and archery are not as beautiful as sword dancing. They are rigid and rude. Gu Nanzhao will never like it.

Chu Qianling calmly glanced at Gu Nanzhao from the corner of her eyes, and sure enough she saw him frowning slightly.

Seeing that Gu Nanzhao seemed to be planning to object, Chu Qianling quickly asked: "Brother, what do you think?"

Amidst the commotion, Chu Yunyi's youth became more energetic. He puffed up his chest and looked at Chu Qianchen, meeting her eyes.

"Then give it a try and see who teaches whom!" Chu Yunyi provocatively said, feeling that today Chu Qianchen must know that that day was just a "coincidence".

He's not that weak!

Chu Qianchen responded nonchalantly: "Then let's compare."

The third princess clapped happily: "Sister, you must win!"

"..." Chu Yunyi's face froze.

Prince Shun exchanged glances with the other young masters and girls, and became even more enthusiastic.

Princess Chang Ning quickly called for a waiter and ordered him to set up a target in the backyard.

Yunting Pavilion is the property of Prince Shun, so the waiter immediately responded.

On weekdays, when these gentlemen come here to play, they often play pot throwing, archery, sword dancing, etc. The restaurant is also equipped with weapons such as bows and arrows and arrow targets.

The group of people immediately got off the restaurant, went out through the back door of the restaurant, and headed towards the back garden.

Yunting Pavilion is not only the restaurant facing the street, but also a small garden, a small lake, a tea house and several pavilions behind the restaurant.

The crowd, like stars over the moon, surrounded Gu Nanzhao and the third princess and headed towards the garden to the east.

Beside a small, clear lake, weeping willow trees stretched out their branches diagonally toward the lake, and their strands of branches and leaves were flying wantonly in the spring breeze.

In the garden, the sunshine in early summer is bright and bright, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, bees and butterflies are flying among the flowers, and the subtle fragrance floats, making people drunk without drinking.

Chu Qianling suggested with a smile: "The sun is bright today, let's go to the pavilion and watch them compete."

As she said that, she couldn't help but look at Gu Nanzhao.

Today, Gu Nanzhao wore a dark blue brocade robe with the pattern of the Eight Immortals, with a jade-embroidered belt around the waist. His crow-green hair was fixed with a bamboo hosta, revealing his smooth and plump forehead, and his dark eyes as clear as the stars in the sky.

The whole person looks elegant and noble, as gentle as jade.

Chu Qianling looked at him with a hint of fascination in her eyes. In her eyes and heart, there was only the handsome and picturesque face of the young man.

She hasn't seen him since her grandmother's birthday party, until today!

Therefore, when Chu Qianhuang sent someone to deliver a message to her, she accepted it without hesitation. She knew that Chu Qianhuang was showing favor to her, but so what, only with Chu Qianhuang around could she have the chance to meet him. To my cousin.

"Cousin." Chu Qianling called, wanting to talk to Gu Nanzhao.

However, Gu Nanzhao seemed not to hear anything, and looked at Chu Qianchen outside the pavilion.

Chu Qianchen had already stood a hundred steps away from the target. The bow she used was of course the Jurchen bow given by Gu Jue, while Chu Yunyi's bow was borrowed from Yunting Pavilion.

Chu Qianchen pulled the bow string casually, with a casual smile on his lips, and said to Chu Yunyi: "How about we play something different?"

It was obviously a simple action, but when she did it, it felt so cool.

Lazy and proud, elegant and cunning.

In Chu Yunyi's eyes, it was tantamount to provocation, so he asked without saying anything: "How do you want to 'play'?"

"Whatever you shoot, I will shoot." Chu Qianchen strummed the bowstring again casually, and the bowstring buzzed.

Chu Yunyi raised her chin proudly, "I don't take advantage of others!"

Chu Qianchen changed his words calmly: "Then you can shoot whatever I shoot."

Chu Qianchen's tone was very casual, but Chu Yunyi felt like an unreasonable child for a moment.

He felt uncomfortable and felt that he had been deceived, but when it came to this point, he didn't want to repeat it over and over again, so he agreed: "Okay." He thought to himself: Anyway, he has some knowledge of his archery skills. confidence.

Chu Qianchen shot the first arrow immediately, and the tip of the arrow was aimed at the target in front of him.

"Whoosh!"

Before anyone in the pavilion could react, her first arrow had accurately hit the bullseye.

Her arrow shot like clouds and water, and several people didn't catch the arrow's flight trajectory at all. They saw the arrow that hit the bull's-eye trembling slightly.

Chu Qianchen put down his bow and stood quietly by the lake.

When the breeze blew, the long willow branches swayed beside her, and those dark phoenix eyes were bright and bright against the lake light.

Chu Yunyi raised his eyebrows in surprise. Is his sister so powerful?

He calmed down, immediately drew his bow, and shot his first arrow.

This arrow also hit the target.

Chu Yunyi curled her lips confidently. He won't lose!

From an expert's perspective, most of Prince Shun and others could see that the shooting skills of this second girl from Chu were definitely not superficial.

Everyone exchanged glances in silence. Prince Shun shook his folding fan and said casually: "Miss Chu, your sister is really beyond appearances."

Chu Qianhuang's eyelashes trembled and she said with a smile: "My second sister is very powerful."

The third princess applauded Chu Qianchen.

While they were talking, Chu Qianchen had already taken out the second feather arrow.

This time, she was no longer aiming at a target, but a poplar tree on the other side of the lake.

"With this arrow, I will hit the hole in the tree trunk."

As she spoke, the second arrow was shot. The arrow flew across the small lake like lightning and accurately hit the tree hole the size of a dragon's eye on the tree trunk.

Princess Chang Ning opened her mouth slightly, "Is this... almost two hundred steps away?"

Yes, Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunyi were at least two hundred steps away from the poplar tree on the other side of the lake.

The folding fan in Prince Shun's hand stopped.

Chu Yunyi's expression became more solemn, his eyes dark.

He knew that if he wanted to win, he had to go all out and not slack off at all.

He doesn't want to lose!

"call out!"

Soon, Chu Yunyi's second arrow also left the string.

When the arrow flew over the lake, it brought up a slight strong wind, and even the lake seemed to have ripples in circles.

The feather arrow also hit the tree hole the size of a dragon's eye.

"With the next arrow, I will hit a poplar leaf." Chu Qianchen said as he took the third arrow.

The short sentence is still so understated, but it also reveals a kind of confident confidence.

At this moment, no one here doubted her, almost everyone felt-

Since she said it, she can do it.

As expected, her third arrow hit a poplar leaf. What shocked Chu Yunyi even more was that the arrow hit the tree hole again.

Did she do it on purpose?

Chu Yunyi couldn't help but look at Chu Qianchen, who casually wiped his delicate and white fingers with a handkerchief.

She stood leisurely, the wind slightly rolled up the hem of her skirt, which flew like a butterfly. The girl's eyebrows were picturesque, as weak as orchid, yet as tall and straight as bamboo, exuding a contradictory atmosphere.
