The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 99099 Favorite

Xuanjing didn't say anything, but calmly changed the direction of the fly whisk as a response.

Chu Qianchen lowered his eyes, looking neither at the emperor nor at Xuanjing.

She had met the emperor once in Jishi Hall. Although she was wearing a veil and had some slight changes in appearance and voice, there was still a risk that the emperor would recognize her.

Before she cured the prince, she couldn't expose herself.

The emperor said to Mr. Ni: "Little girls, every family likes these gadgets. You can ask someone to get some of them and give them to the two girls of the Chu family."

The emperor generously gave the reward as a meeting gift to Chu Qianchen. Since he had rewarded him, he naturally rewarded Chu Qianhuang as well.

"Your Majesty, thank you for the reward." Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen quickly thanked them.

Chu Qianchen's voice was as low as a mosquito's moan, which made Chu Qianhuang neither humble nor arrogant, but elegant and generous.

Eunuch Ni frowned slightly, feeling in his heart that Chu Qianchen really couldn't get on the stage, and a concubine was indeed a concubine.

Eunuch Ni was a great eunuch, so naturally he didn't have to do everything himself. He hired a young **** and asked him to collect the rewards given by the emperor to the two Chu girls.

At this time, Xuanjing suddenly shook his fly whisk and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have a fate with these two girls." He took out two beaded bracelets from his sleeves and looked at Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianchen. Chu Qianhuang said, "This is my humble wish. Immeasurable life and blessings."

His eyes were clear, his smile was gentle and unworldly, and he had the aloofness of an outsider.

The emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise and said: "Since it is the Taoist Master's wish, you two should accept it."

After the emperor said this, it was naturally difficult for Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang to refuse.

This beaded bracelet is made from the wood of the soapberry tree. The soapberry is also known as "ghost-seeing sorrow" and has the effect of warding off evil spirits.

The emperor didn't stay at the water pavilion for long. He casually asked Gu Nanzhao a few more questions about his homework, and then left with everyone.

Walking along a path to a willow tree by the lake, the emperor suddenly asked: "Taoist Master Xuanjing, what is so strange about these two girls from the Chu family?"

He had never seen Xuanjing be so kind to those good men and women.

Xuan Jing smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty, I just think that the second girl from Chu has a good face." The implication is that he gave the Liuzhu bracelet to the eldest girl of the Chu family just by chance.

Good looking? The emperor raised his eyebrows with interest.

The great eunuch, Eunuch Ni, observed the situation and immediately introduced: "Your Majesty, Miss Chu is the second daughter of the Marquis of Yongding."

Eunuch Ni felt in his heart that a concubine's appearance could not be any better. To put it bluntly, her best destination was to be given as a concubine to a noble clan relative.

The emperor thought so too, stopped and looked back towards the waterside pavilion.

Xuan Jing slowly shook the snow-white whisk and said: "This Miss Chu Er is like a pearl covered in dust. She had some troubles when she was young. These two years will be a turning point in her destiny, or she will be extremely prosperous and become rich..."

Xuanjing also looked in the direction of the waterside pavilion, but the person he was looking at was the second prince.

He just wanted to have a good relationship with the second prince. Whether things would work out or not would depend on God's will.

There was no way he could tarnish his own reputation for this, and then added: "It's either a bad person or a bad person."

After hearing this, the emperor finally became interested and asked casually: "How do you say it?"

"Some people become strong when they are strong, and weak when they are weak. If she is unkind to someone, it will weaken the other person's destiny."

Xuanjing's words were accurate.

The second prince is destined to be good. If what he wishes comes true, the second girl Chu will become the second prince's concubine. That is Luan Feng's destiny. She will also be a princess in the future. But if this marriage does not come true, what will happen to the second girl Chu in the end? If you marry an inhumane person and have a miserable life later in life, it doesn't mean that you are wrong.

The emperor slowly turned the jade ring on his thumb and said nothing.

In other words, this girl is like a strong medicine, which can save people's lives, or even kill them.

The last half of Xuanjing's words echoed repeatedly in the emperor's ears: "...If she meets someone unkindly, she will weaken the person's fate."

By the lakeside, the breeze blew in waves, and the willow branches danced gently, occasionally stirring the crystal clear lake surface, causing ripples to appear on the water.

There was silence for a moment.

After a while, the emperor murmured: "Is Gu Jue's health in bad shape?"

He seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Xuanjing.

"Yes." Xuan Jing said with great certainty, "Pindao has done divination three times recently. He has been observing the stars at night. The stars are dim. His Royal Highness Chen must be seriously ill, but he is not in danger of his life."

The sun shines through the gaps in the willow branches, casting mottled light and shadow on the emperor's face and head. When the wind blows, the light and shadow sway, and the emperor's complexion becomes uncertain.

The emperor looked in the direction of Qianqing Palace and said: "When my father was alive, he always cared about Gu Jue. Gu Jue was already old."

The emperor clenched his fists tightly, his eyes dark.

Gu Jue is now seriously ill. This is a rare opportunity to take back his military power. Then he can trap Gu Jue in Beijing and gradually weaken his power in the army...

Thinking of Gu Jue coming to the court to stir up trouble for Qin Yao, the emperor felt that Gu Jue's illness was not serious enough!

This Gu Jue was a thorn in his flesh and a nail in his bone. If he didn't pull it out for a day, the emperor would feel troubled to sleep and eat.

The emperor continued in a low voice: "This girl from the Chu family has an interesting destiny."

His voice was so low that it was suppressed by the sound of the wind blowing willow branches around him. Not only Xuanjing, but also Eunuch Ni could not hear clearly what the emperor said.

The emperor said nothing more to Xuan Jing and continued to walk forward, walking as fast as flying.

Gu Nanzhao, who was in the waterside pavilion, naturally noticed that the emperor and Taoist priest Xuanjing had just looked this way, and he was overjoyed: it must be Taoist priest Xuanjing who helped Chen Chen speak kindly to his father.

Gu Nanzhao couldn't help but his heart beat faster and the corners of his lips curled up.

Sister Chen's identity is not enough. If he doesn't think of some way, his father will never agree to let Sister Chen be his concubine.

Taoist priest Xuanjing has profound teachings and his father has great trust in him. If Taoist priest Xuanjing personally praises sister Chen's appearance and destiny, his father will look at sister Chen in a new light.

After a few days, he will ask his father to grant a marriage between him and Sister Chen, and it will definitely come true!

Gu Nanzhao's eyes were shining like cold stars, as if he had already seen that day coming.

Next, he will work harder on his mother and concubine to let her know how good Sister Chen is.

He will use practical actions to prove to Sister Chen that he really wants to marry her, that he is sincere to her, not just words, and that he can allow her to be his concubine.

Gu Nanzhao looked at the unsent gilt sachet in the box again, and made up his mind.

He can definitely do it!

He would hide this matter from Sister Chen for now, so that he could give her a surprise when it was done.

By then, Sister Chen will definitely believe his feelings for her, and she will no longer reject him.

Chu Qianchen didn't know what Gu Nanzhao was thinking. She was looking at the retreating figures of the emperor and Xuan Jing, or in other words, she was looking at Xuan Jing more.

How did Taoist Master Xuanjing know that the prince was seriously ill?

This thought lingered in Chu Qianchen's mind, and she subconsciously rubbed the beaded bracelet in her hand.

At this time, Chu Qianhuang suddenly stood up, smiled sweetly, and said: "Cousin, second sister, I'd like to excuse you for a moment. It's rare to enter the palace. I want to go to the third princess to pay my respects."

Chu Qianhuang blinked at Gu Nanzhao quickly, telling him to seize this opportunity to be alone with Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianhuang smiled slightly, with a bright smile, looking calm and generous.

Gu Nanzhao gave her a grateful look and said, "Cousin Huang, go quickly. You haven't been in the palace for a long time, and the third emperor misses you too. She even mentioned you to me two days ago."

Chu Qianhuang stood up and walked outside the waterside pavilion.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Qianchen also stood up and said calmly: "Your Highness, the Second Prince, I will go back to Zhongcui Palace to find my mother first."

Her expression was indifferent and distant, and it was obvious that she didn't want to give Gu Nanzhao a chance.

Chu Qianhuang naturally heard these words, and his steps slowed down slightly, but in the end he did not stay or look back, and walked away gracefully.

Chu Qianchen didn't care about Gu Nanzhao's reaction and left alone.

She walked in a hurry, and Gu Nanzhao couldn't stop her, so he had to catch up and shouted: "Sister Chen."

These three simple words were full of tenderness and filled his heart. He just wanted to open his chest and let Chu Qianchen see his heart.

Gu Nanzhao chased after him in three steps at a time. He wanted to grab Chu Qianchen's wrist, but he was afraid of offending the beauty, so he hesitated and retracted his fingers.

Sister Chen has always had a good temper, but she is also very stubborn.

Their identities are not worthy of each other. Sister Chen must also know this. She knows that she is not worthy of him and cannot be his first concubine. She avoids him because she does not want to embarrass him.

In fact, Sister Chen was probably feeling more miserable than him.

He can still work hard for their future, but Sister Chen can't do anything but watch him marry in the future...

Gu Nanzhao felt sad and distressed, and finally swallowed it all and followed her back to Zhongcui Palace.

One day, Sister Chen will know everything he has done, and they will be able to communicate with each other.

Sister Chen will definitely be very moved!

Gu Nanzhao's gentle eyes drifted towards Chu Qianchen from time to time, telling himself over and over again that they would soon be able to stay together day and night.

The two of them returned to Zhongcui Palace in silence. The atmosphere in Zhongcui Palace was very stiff. Concubine Chu and Mrs. Shen drank tea separately, without saying a word.

It was the arrival of Chu Qianchen and Gu Nanzhao that broke the peace in the palace.

Concubine Chu's face was as dark as water, and Mrs. Shen's demeanor was graceful.

Even if Chu Qianchen didn't ask, he could guess that the conversation they just had ended on bad terms. If Concubine Chu expected to gain nothing from her aunt, she might not be able to get what she wanted.

After Chu Qianchen saluted, he walked to Mrs. Shen and sat down.

Seeing that Chu Qianhuang was not here, Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows and asked, "Where is your eldest sister?"

"Eldest sister is going to see Her Highness the Third Princess." Chu Qianchen replied.

"..." Shen's lips froze slightly, her expression slightly unhappy, and she suppressed the displeasure in her heart.

Gu Nanzhao could vaguely sense Shen's displeasure, and was afraid that she would anger Chu Qianchen, so he said, "Auntie, I'll send someone to call Cousin Huang."

He made a gesture, and his valet withdrew.

Gu Nanzhao couldn't help but take out the gilt sachet from his sleeve pocket and hold it in his hand.

He also wanted to give this sachet to Sister Chen...

Concubine Chu was helpless against Shen, and she was suffocating in her heart. Looking at Gu Nanzhao's tender eyes when she looked at Chu Qianchen, the anger in her heart began to rise.

The more she looked at Chu Qianchen, the more she felt that she was scheming. I am afraid that Chu Qianhuang was sent away deliberately by her.

Hu Meizi, really Hu Meizi! All her son's heart is attracted to her!

Before today, Concubine Chu felt that although she could not accept Chu Qianchen as the second prince's main concubine, because her son liked it, it was still okay to be a side concubine. Now she has completely changed her mind.

This Chu Qianchen must not come in, otherwise her son will be seduced by her and alienated from her.

The more Concubine Chu thought about it, the more unhappy she became. Her breath caught in her chest, making her feel very sick.

She had to let Chu Qianchen know what heaven and earth meant, and let Chu Qianchen recognize her identity. She was just a humble concubine, and anyone could step on her!

Concubine Chu's eyes fell on the gilt sachet in Gu Nanzhao's hand. She knew that the sachet should be a pair and was a tribute from the Qiuci Kingdom given by the emperor.

Now there is only one left in the son's hand. I think the other one must have been given to Chu Qianchen just now.

Concubine Chu's anger became even more intense, a cold light flashed across her eyes, and she said: "Nan Zhao, this sachet in your hand is a recent tribute from me. It's very interesting to see, so I brought it to me to enjoy. "

Gu Nanzhao naturally would not refuse Concubine Chu for such a trivial matter, so he handed the sachet to the eldest maid of Zhongcui Palace. After the eldest maid took it, she presented it to Concubine Chu.

The eldest maid nervously exclaimed: "Oh!"

The gilded spherical sachet passed by Concubine Chu's hand, fell to the ground, and rolled toward Chu Qianchen along the gold brick floor that was as bright as a mirror...

Shen's eyes turned cold, and she roughly guessed what Concubine Chu was playing, and once again sighed that the concubine and Chu Lingxiao were indeed siblings connected by blood.

Shen's brows furrowed even more tightly, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Chu Qianchen blinking his right eye at her quickly and pushing the pastry plate at hand an inch towards Shen.

Mrs. Shen laughed inwardly and swallowed back the words that had not yet been spoken.

Concubine Chu stroked her sleeves gracefully, looked at Chu Qianchen and said, "Sister Chen, my hand slipped. Please pick up this sachet for me."

Chu Qianchen looked calm and didn't even raise his eyebrows. He turned to a round-faced palace maid and said, "Your Majesty, I dropped something, so why don't you pick it up?"

The round-faced palace maid didn't dare to move. She averted her gaze and lowered her face.

How could Gu Nanzhao not see that Concubine Chu wanted to humiliate Chu Qianchen? His face changed slightly and he looked at Concubine Chu in shock.

"Mother concubine!"

Gu Nanzhao called out, his voice rising subconsciously.

But Concubine Chu seemed not to have heard anything. She looked at Chu Qianchen coldly with her phoenix eyes and said, "Sister Chen, I want you to pick it up."

Chu Qianchen looked at Concubine Chu and said in a calm tone: "Concubine, I have great strength, but my men have no sense of proportion."

Concubine Chu would not let Chu Qianchen pass so easily, and insisted aggressively: "I told you to pick it up."

Chu Qianchen smiled slightly and picked up the sachet.

The corners of Concubine Chu's lips curled up, and her jade hand dyed with red khao elixir picked up the white porcelain embossed tea cup at hand. The red koi elixir was as bright as blood.

Picking up a sachet is nothing, she is a noble concubine, if she wants this girl to kneel down, this girl has to kneel down.

However, the next moment, the smile on Concubine Chu's lips froze, and Chu Qianchen flattened the exquisitely carved sachet with a gentle squeeze.

Concubine Chu's face darkened visibly.

Such a sachet is insignificant, but Chu Qianchen clearly did it on purpose, in front of her noble concubine!

Without changing his expression, Chu Qianchen walked slowly to Concubine Chu and placed the flattened sachet on the coffee table beside Concubine Chu.

"Your Majesty, I told you that I was very strong and my men were careless, so I broke the things belonging to your Majesty and the Second Prince." Chu Qianchen sighed.

"..." Concubine Chu almost crushed the tea cup in her hand, and the veins on her forehead jumped wildly.

Mrs. Shen sighed at the side and sang with Chu Qianchen: "Your Majesty, Sister Chen has already said that she is very powerful." This sentence was obviously to protect Chu Qianchen.

At this moment, Concubine Chu's new and old hatreds came together, and her resentment against the Shen family was piled together, and she blurted out: "Slap!"

She thought she could scare Chu Qianchen. She thought Chu Qianchen would be like those ordinary girls who would turn pale with fear and kneel down to beg for mercy.

However, Chu Qianchen just sighed and said, "Hey, I told you that you are very strong. You insisted on me picking it up, my aunt."

She looked straight at Concubine Chu calmly and changed her title from "Concubine Concubine" to "Concubine Concubine Chu" to remind Concubine Chu that their surname was Chu.

There are no secrets in the palace. If Concubine Chu dares to slap her face today, the incident will spread throughout the palace that day. I am afraid that everyone in the palace will speculate on why Concubine Chu taught her a lesson after having a private conversation with Shen. The girl from the Chu family.

The Chu family is in troubled times right now. Do others think that Concubine Chu dislikes her natal family for this reason? Or maybe they speculate that Concubine Chu has a dispute with her natal family over other matters.

If Concubine Chu punished herself, she would be slapping her parents in the face.

Chu Qianchen looked at Concubine Chu very calmly.

The beautiful and slender girl just stood there so quietly, giving people a feeling of Yue Zhiyuan Ting, with a hint of sassiness in her elegance.

Concubine Chu was already holding her breath in her heart, but now she was so depressed that her throat felt sweet, and her graceful face was a little distorted.

She really didn't dare to hit Chu Qianchen. Her purpose was to make Chu Qianchen bow his head and beg for mercy.

"Concubine!" Gu Nanzhao's face didn't look good either, and he persuaded patiently, "Sister Chen didn't do it on purpose. She said she was very strong, so why do you have to be so aggressive, Concubine!"

It was clear that the mother-in-law had the intention to embarrass sister Chen, and sister Chen was also frightened by the mother-in-law, so her men accidentally lost their sense of control.

Thinking about it, Gu Nanzhao felt even more sorry for Chu Qianchen: His mother-in-law clearly promised that he would consider it carefully, but she still wanted to embarrass sister Chen like this...

Concubine Chu felt that her son was blind. Couldn't he see that Chu Qianchen was deliberately trying to mistreat her?

Her face turned blue with anger, her jade teeth almost broke when she bit her teeth, and she said to herself again: Chu Qianchen will never do it! Otherwise, in the future, the second prince may not even see her as his biological mother, and his heart will be seduced by this charming Chu Qianchen!

Shen's lips curled up, her eyes soft.

Sister Chen has a cheerful temperament!

Before Concubine Chu could say anything to chase her away, Mrs. Shen took the first step to leave: "My dear concubine, it's getting late, so my wife and daughter are leaving."

Concubine Chu: "..."

The words that Concubine Chu was about to say could no longer be said. Her breath was stuck in her throat. After all, she could not go up or down.

Gu Nanzhao looked at Chu Qianchen reluctantly, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing.

He wanted to send Chu Qianchen off, but he was afraid that his mother and concubine would be even more annoyed.

Forget it, he still tried to persuade his mother and concubine, and she would always make her understand the goodness of sister Chen.

As for Shen, she didn't care what Concubine Chu thought. She told Nanny Chen to stay and wait for Chu Qianhuang, and she left Zhongcui Palace with Chu Qianchen.

On the way out of the palace, the two of them were speechless. It was not until they got on the carriage of the Marquis Mansion that Mrs. Shen broke the silence and asked: "Sister Chen, are you...not interested in the second prince, and not even the principal concubine? "

Although Concubine Chu didn't say anything, and neither did the second prince, Shen had a vague feeling from the sparkling relationship between mother and son just now. The second prince might want to marry Chu Qianchen as his concubine.

Regardless of whether this matter can be accomplished or not, this represents the second prince's affection for Chu Qianchen.

There are very few women who can't help but be moved by this, let alone...

Mrs. Shen still remembered that when Chu Qianchen was still young, every time the second prince came to the Hou Mansion, she would look at him from time to time with bright pupils.

They can be considered childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

Chu Qianchen looked directly into Shen's eyes without hesitation and replied calmly: "I have no intention of him."

She answered without hesitation and decisively.

In her previous life, when she was her age, she once thought that she admired the second prince, so she felt heartbroken because he abandoned her and ignored her.

However, it wasn't until she left the Chu family later and experienced many, many things that she realized that this was not admiration, but...

How should I put it? In her previous life, before she was kicked out of the Marquis Mansion, she had lived a very humble life. Gu Nanzhao just smiled at her and said a few words in a gentle tone, and she regarded him as someone who had come into her life. A ray of sunshine in his heart, he regarded him as a special existence, thinking that he was special to himself.

In fact, to the gentle and considerate Gu Nanzhao, there was no difference between her and Chu Qianling, his future concubine and other women.

As early as a few years after leaving the Hou Mansion in her previous life, she had already understood that her feelings for Gu Nanzhao were not between a man and a woman.

Chu Qianchen emphasized clearly: "Whether it is a side concubine or a main concubine, I don't want it."

Shen didn't know what Chu Qianchen was thinking. She just thought that she had grown up, so she understood that the princes in the royal family were not good matches.

The carriage drove forward quickly, and the noise on the street outside was unclear through the carriage.

Mrs. Shen took one of Chu Qianchen's hands and asked solemnly: "Sister Chen, do you have any expectations for your future marriage?"

Generally, a girl from a noble family should get married when she is around fourteen years old at the latest. After that, she has to prepare three letters and six rituals, which takes a year and a half, just in time to get married.

Mrs. Shen knew that Chu Qianchen now had her own opinion, so she simply opened the skylight to talk openly with her. This way, she would have an idea of ​​how to keep an eye on her husband's family in the future.

However, Chu Qianchen's answer surprised Shen.

"Mom, I have no plans to get married." She said seriously, smiling slightly, with a cheerful smile in her beautiful eyes.

Although she was in a dimly lit carriage, her eyes were twinkling like thousands of stars filling the night sky, with scorching brilliance.

Of course, Chu Qianchen knew that what she said was shocking. Which girl from this distinguished family would not get married when she reached her age.

She also knew that Shen asked her this question specifically out of good intentions, so she didn't want to perfuse her and honestly expressed her feelings.

After what he had experienced in his previous life, in Chu Qianchen's opinion, getting married was not his inevitable way out.

In her previous life, she was expelled from the Hou Mansion, and she never married until the year she was reborn, but she lived a good life.

Her only regret was that she couldn't save the prince.

In this life, she finally had a chance to make up for the regrets of her previous life.

When the prince is well and will definitely return to the North, she will leave the Chu family and go to the North with the prince and the others!

Thinking about it, Chu Qianchen's eyes brightened even more, as if he had already seen that day coming.

The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.

The Northland belongs to them.

Shen's eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't help being surprised: How could Chu Qianchen have such thoughts at such a young age? !

Her next thought was that someone had chewed something in front of Chu Qianchen to make her think like this?

Shen was thinking about how to test it, but when she met Chu Qianchen's shining eyes, her heart suddenly moved.

The girl's smile was as bright as a flower, and she smiled sweetly and sweetly, as if she had thought of something pleasant.

etc!

Could it be that Sister Chen actually has someone she likes? !
