The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 170

Amidst Qiao Jiuxiu's various expectations, the dinner party finally came to an end.Qiao Yuanxiu thought that it was already very late, and she was somewhat worried about sending Qiao Jiuxiu back, so she simply let Qiao Jiuxiu live in her own courtyard, of course after seeking the emperor's opinion.

When the two of them just walked to the yard, they saw a person blocking the road. It was clearly Chen Chu whom they saw at the dinner just now. He appeared at the dinner party, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao would be there, and he would appear in front of him.But that's good too, she can finally ask out the doubts in her heart.

"Nine..." Just as Qiao Yuanxiu opened his mouth, Chen Chu glared at her, and she could only calm down. She really didn't know why the majestic Ninth Prince had to hide his identity from Qiao Jiuxiu.And judging from this posture, Qiao Jiuxiu probably has a story with him.

"Young Concubine, I want to have a private conversation with Ms. Qiao, do you think it's okay?" Although the tone was soliciting, it didn't mean to refuse at all.Qiao Yuanxiu glanced at Qiao Jiuxiu, saw her nodding, and then said to Chen Chu, "Of course it's possible, but it's getting late. After you finish talking, please send Jiumei back."

Although Qiao Yuanxiu knew that the Ninth Prince had always been frivolous and unrestrained, this was the palace after all, and Qiao Jiuxiu was a guest invited by the emperor, so he probably didn't dare to be presumptuous, so she dared to let Qiao Jiuxiu be alone with him.So he turned around and entered the courtyard.Chen Chu didn't speak, but just took Qiao Jiuxiu to a secluded but beautiful place.

"Well, I didn't expect to see you in the palace. What a coincidence." Qiao Jiuxiu smiled awkwardly at Chen Chu. Her relationship with Chen Chu is a little delicate. He should be her friend, although the relationship is not. Very close, but he finally helped himself a lot.

"I didn't expect to meet you here either." Chen Chu looked at Qiao Jiuxiu with a smile, and there was rare doting in her eyes, as if looking at her own baby.Qiao Jiuxiu heard the ambiguity in the words, and quickly lowered her head, fiddled with the corners of her skirt, trying to calm down her restless heart, "Well, Elder Sister feels lonely, so let me come into the palace to accompany her .

"It's no problem for you to be called the imperial concubine, empress or eldest sister now. If there are many people, this proper title cannot be discarded." Chen Chu reminded carefully, after all, this is the imperial palace, so one step is often wrong, one step at a time.Sometimes you may be targeted even if you do nothing.

"I've made a note of it." Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. She has a somewhat carefree temper. It seems that she needs to be more careful in the future, and be prudent and cautious in order to be a good person.

"By the way, you haven't answered me yet, why did you appear at the dinner?" Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Chen Chu and asked.Chen Chu's expression was a bit unnatural. In fact, if Qiao Jiuxiu attended the dinner party a few more times, she would find that the seat he sat in before was specially prepared for the prince.It's just that it's her first time entering the palace, so she doesn't know much about this knowledge, so his identity has not been exposed.

"Well, I'm a guard in the palace." Chen Chu thought for a while and gave such an answer. Qiao Jiuxiu looked at him suspiciously. Although she didn't know much about the palace, she still had basic common sense. Yes, is it possible for an ordinary guard to appear at the dinner party?And still sitting in that front position.

Knowing that he couldn't fool himself with this excuse, Chen Chu could only continue, "Although I am a bodyguard, I am also the empress's cousin, so it is normal for me to have a seat at the dinner party." This is the truth, the current empress She is the emperor's cousin, and he is the emperor's younger brother. After this calculation, he and the queen are naturally cousins.

It's not like cheating her.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, that made sense.No wonder she thought that Chen Chu's handsome appearance was definitely not something in the pool. He turned out to be the empress's cousin, and he really had the demeanor of an emperor's family.

"When you see me, don't you have anything else you want to say to me?" A pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Qiao Jiuxiu playfully, Qiao Jiuxiu hesitated a little, she really felt that she had nothing good to say to Chen Chu.However, Chen Chu glanced at Qiao Jiuxiu and shook his head slightly.

Well, let him do the talking.

"Did you settle what you told me last time? Does that woman named Qinglian still make things difficult for you?" Chen Chu looked into Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes and asked carefully.He was worried that Qiao Jiu's beauty was too strong, and that the innocent and kind-hearted woman would not be able to play with Qinglian, but Qiao's residence was heavily guarded.It's not easy for him to send someone in to investigate, so he has never heard from Qiao Jiuxiu.

"Qinglian has restrained herself a lot recently." Qiao Jiuxiu followed Chen Chu's words. Remembering that Chen Chu said that she wanted to put Qinglian to death last time, she still felt that this method was a bit extreme, so she quickly said, "You don't want to Let's become Qinglian, don't worry, she has her wings cut off now, and she is no longer my opponent."

She patted her chest slightly as she spoke, which meant to reassure Chen Chu about herself.Chen Chu shook his head helplessly, but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, knowing how beautiful Qiao Jiuxiu's action was just now.

"You said she had her wings cut off. What's going on?" Seeing a gazebo under the rockery in front of him, Chen Chu took Qiao Jiuxiu to sit down there. He wanted to have a candlelit night talk with Qiao Jiuxiu tonight, but he didn't know why. He always felt that she looked like she had something on her mind.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and talked about the promotion of the sixth sister to marry Lin Zhiyi as the first concubine, and then the marriage of the third and fifth sisters.Said that now Qinglian is only left with Ruyi and some scumbags, and it can't be a climate at all, so she naturally doesn't have to worry about it.

Chen Chu nodded after listening. The current situation is indeed very beneficial to Qiao Jiuxiu, but there is one thing he still wants to say, "Miss Qiao, although the current situation is very beneficial to you, don't let your guard down. You must know that a wolf, Even if you lose your sharp teeth, you can still bite."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, Qinglian really needed to be careful, she would not take it lightly, she smiled slightly, Chen Chu saw the problem much more comprehensively than herself.Sure enough, the current self is still too immature, and there are many things that need to be studied hard.

"Since Qinglian is no longer a threat to you, I want to know why you are still frowning, as if you have something on your mind?" Chen Chu seemed to be able to see through Qiao Jiuxiu at a glance, and saw that she had something on her mind.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, did she really have no way to hide the secret?He could only slightly nod his head, "Yes, I do have something on my mind."

"Tell me, maybe I can help you." Chen Chu looked at Qiao Jiuxiu quietly, waiting for her to speak.Qiao Jiuxiu hesitated for a while, and bit her lips slightly, "Even if I tell you about this, you may not be able to help me, so let's forget it." After saying that, she was about to leave.

However, Chen Chu pulled her back, "You don't tell me anything, how can I help you? If you tell the matter, even if I can't help you, you will feel better, won't you. "

He didn't like Qiao Jiuxiu's appearance of worrying, and even more hated that she obviously had something on her mind, but she didn't want to tell him. Could it be that she couldn't trust him at all?
Qiao Jiuxiu could only sigh lightly, maybe he was right, she really needed someone to talk to, so she sighed, "My wife didn't ask the third sister and the fifth sister what they meant, so she let them get married. I I am worried that one day, such a fate will befall me, if I marry a man I have never met, what should I do?"

Chen Chu shook her head slightly. It turned out that Qiao Jiuxiu was thinking about this matter. Is there anything to worry about?In the beginning of spring, he directly sent Wen Ding to Qiao's residence, saying that Qiao Jiuxiu was the fiancee of his Ninth Prince, but he wanted to see the dignitaries in the capital, would they dare to compete with him?
"Don't worry, you don't need to worry about this matter at all." Chen Chu smiled lightly, and pointed at herself half-jokingly, "How about me being your husband?"

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Chen Chu in disbelief, what was he talking about just now, how could he become her husband?Shaking her head in a panic, it's not that she thinks that Chen Chu is not suitable, it's just that she has never considered this issue at all. She and Chen Chu can only be regarded as friends at best, and she is naturally not prepared to talk about marriage suddenly, "That ...that...that...it's better for us to be friends."

After saying this, she almost bit her own tongue.

Chen Chu looked at Qiao Jiuxiu in confusion, did she reject him because she didn't like it?He felt a little lost in his heart, more dissatisfied. He had lived a proud life in his life, but he had never been rejected by a person like this.He continued to ask with a cold face, "Can I know why it doesn't work?"

Qiao Jiuxiu's expression became more and more embarrassing. She was embarrassed to hurt Chen Chu directly, so she could only speak tactfully, "Marriage has been ordered by parents since ancient times. I can't make the decision at all. Even if I really like you, my wife won't let me There is no other way. At that time, whoever she asks me to marry, I can only marry whoever she wants. "

Qiao Jiuxiu's answer made Chen Chu slightly relieved, and he was not as uncomfortable as before. It turned out that Qiao Jiuxiu was just worried that Mrs. Qiao would not agree.There is no need to worry about this question, as long as he personally goes out, there is no reason for Mrs. Qiao not to agree.So he said with relief, "Xiu'er, don't worry, I will definitely help you solve this matter."

"What do you call me?" Qiao Jiuxiu blushed at the sound of Xiu'er, "Well, if you don't feel comfortable calling me Ms. Qiao, you can just call me Ninth Younger Sister like them."

Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu's embarrassment, Chen Chu liked it even more, saying that Xiu'er was very nice and special, so he definitely wouldn't change it.Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't help it, her face was even more blushing.
