The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 219 Speak clearly with him

The two chatted for a while, thinking that it was already meal time, and it was almost time to eat.Just now the emperor said that he wanted to eat together, so naturally he didn't dare to delay at all.But when the two came out, the emperor could no longer be seen, only Chu Dichen stayed where he was, and made the endgame by himself.Seeing the two of them coming out, they also got up slightly.

"Reporting to Concubine Qi, just now the emperor said that the Hall of Supreme Harmony has some political affairs to be dealt with temporarily, so the matter of eating can only be accompanied by the ministers." Chu Dichen said respectfully to Qiao Yuanxiu, but a cunning flashed in his eyes, Qiao Yuanxiu nodded slightly, She naturally understood this look, since the emperor had been taken away by him, she naturally wanted to create some space for them to get along alone.She could see that her ninth younger sister still had a good impression of the Ninth Prince, and since that was the case, she was of course willing to accomplish something good.

"National affairs are naturally very important, but the emperor's dragon body is equally important. In this way, I will ask someone to bring some food to the emperor. You can eat first, and you don't have to wait for me to come back." Qiao Yuanxiu hurriedly found a reason for herself, and The soles of the feet are oiled and ready to leave.When she was with Qiao Jiuxiu, she couldn't see the shadow of a noble concubine at all, but she had to be strict about the appearance she should have in front of outsiders.

If it is said that life is tiring, everyone is very tiring, who can live easily, the higher the person, the more unavoidable and intense sorrow and trouble.

Chen Chu watched Qiao Yuanxiu leave with a smile, feeling a little emotional in her heart, no wonder the imperial brother likes Concubine Qi, she is indeed very practical and knows when to do something and when not to do it.So he walked to Qiao Jiuxiu's side, "It seems that there are only two of us eating today, please come inside. There are still a lot of delicious food in this palace, Chuanlu Huaiyue, you can eat whatever you like."

Qiao Jiuxiu lowered her head slightly, she didn't have the appetite to eat.Thinking of Sixth Sister's current situation and what Eldest Sister said just now, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.But it's not good to go against Chen Chu's kindness.Nodding slightly, "Just whatever you want, I'm not that picky."

Chen Chu nodded, and took Qiao Jiuxiu to the back room. The maid had already prepared the food, most of which were some delicate side dishes, which looked very appetizing.Seeing that the two of them sat down, the maids didn't know whether they had good eyesight, or whether Chen Chu had specially instructed them beforehand. All the maids withdrew after serving the dishes, without exception.Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Chen Chu suspiciously, and asked a little puzzled, "Why did they all retreat?"

"This is in the palace, without approval, they can't eat with the master. But it's fine to leave, just the two of us, why not have a quiet meal?" Chen Chu said tenderly and affectionately Looking at Qiao Jiuxiu, those gentle eyes seemed to melt her away.Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip lightly, her face was stained red, "Then let's eat."

For some reason, she, who had always been dull, understood Chen Chu's expression just now, which clearly said that he liked her.She just shook her head quickly. She never thought that Chen Chu would like her. She had always regarded him as a good friend. They could talk to each other, take care of each other with sincerity, and have no secrets with each other, but all of this has nothing to do with love .

He could only nod in a panic, put his head down and put a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, not daring to look up at Chen Chu, nor did he dare to pick up his own food, he ate white rice in a few mouthfuls.Seeing this, Chen Chu quickly put some side dishes for Qiao Jiuxiu into her bowl, "You're already skinny, so how can you stop eating vegetables? Come, try it, these are what you like to eat."

Qiao Jiuxiu stopped, and looked at Chen Chu suspiciously, her eyes were full of suspicion, "How do you know that these dishes are my favorites, I don't seem to have told you about these things in my impression."

Hearing what Qiao Jiuxiu said, Chen Chu couldn't help feeling a little panicked. Of course, Qiao Jiuxiu didn't mention this matter to him. He made a special trip to ask Qiao Yuanxiu. Qiao Yuanxiu and her have been sisters for so many years, so her preferences and habits for Qiao Jiuxiu are naturally He knew it very well, so he told Chen Chuzhi all these things.Chen Chu wrote down all these things, and thought that he could give Qiao Jiuxiu meticulous care, but he didn't expect that it would be Lu Shen.

"Oh, I just think these dishes are very light, you should like them." Although Chen Chu's explanation was very pale, the doting smile on his face was true.With such an expression, Qiao Jiuxiu seemed to feel that she was drunk.

But she quickly shook her head, she did not deny that she had a crush on Chen Chu, but this feeling was only on the basis of a good friend, if Chen Chu were to be her future husband, she might not be able to accept it.Moreover, Qiao Jiuxiu knew that only her wife could decide her marriage.It is true that Chen Chu is a relative of the emperor, but he is just an aide in the Ninth Prince's residence, and has no real power or official position at all. His wife will never agree to marry him.

Therefore, her love with him is coming to an end before it even started. Since this is the case, then simply cut the mess quickly and break this ambiguity, so as not to be hurt by him in the future.

"Chen Chu, I have a question for you." Qiao Jiuxiu suddenly changed a very serious expression and asked.Seeing that she was so serious, Chen Chu could only put away his cynicism and spread his hands lightly, "Xiu'er, tell me, I can answer any questions you want to ask."

Xiuer?Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, perhaps since he called herself Xiu'er, she should have realized that he likes her, but unfortunately, she is too slow again, but she doesn't know if it will be too late to refuse now, will it be too late? It won't hurt Lin Zhiyi like it hurt Lin Zhiyi back then.Shaking his head slightly, he just felt that he was a villain, why did he always do things that hurt his friends?
"Chen Chu, do you like me?" Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, knowing that it was difficult to speak, but she finally said this sentence, and after she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Chu firmly. This was the first time she dared to speak. Look him in the eye.Chen Chu also looked at Qiao Jiuxiu steadfastly, until she was sure that the seriousness in her eyes was not a joke, but she wanted a definite answer for herself, so she simply nodded, "Yes, I like you."

He said it with certainty, without any cover-up.In other words, he never wanted to hide his liking for Qiao Jiuxiu, he spoke without hesitation, just to give her a lifetime promise.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed lightly, well, she guessed right.

"Thank you for your liking." Qiao Jiuxiu tried her best to slow down her speech, "But we can't be together, my wife will object, you know I can't disrespect her meaning." She said carefully, Try not to touch his sensitive nerves with your own words.But Chen Chu just smiled lightly and shook his head slightly, "It's not difficult, I can ask the emperor to issue an imperial decree, do you think she will have a chance to say no?"

Chen Chu has never told Qiao Jiuxiu that he is the legendary Ninth Prince, a standard emperor's man, a relative of the emperor, and definitely has a certain right to speak in the court. If he wants it, Mrs. Qiao will definitely be very straightforward. Let go, she won't offend herself.Besides, didn't she just want Qiao Jiuxiu to marry a good family?Who else is more qualified than him to marry Qiao Jiuxiu?
"That's not good," Qiao Jiuxiu thought of the emperor's acquaintance with Chen Chu just now, maybe she could really marry Chen Chu with an imperial decree, but this was not the marriage she wanted.She still wanted to refuse, after all, she didn't want to offend his wife because of this matter. "And I guess you're already married, don't you think it's unfair to your other wives?"

Chen Chu shrugged. He was indeed married, had four or five wives, and many concubines, but most of them were due to political factors, and he had to marry them.If he was really allowed to choose, one Qiao Jiuxiu would be enough.How could he let go of being loved when he only had her in his heart. "It's okay, just leave it to me. I can assure you that they won't have any objections."

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, why did Chen Chu just not understand what she meant.He could only wave his hand, "I mean, I won't be a concubine. If you want to marry me, I'll be your regular wife. There's no room for negotiation."

"Regular wife?" Chen Chu smiled lightly. Although this question is a bit tricky, if this is the happiness that Qiao Jiuxiu wants, he has no objection. The Qiao family came to propose marriage."

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Chen Chu helplessly. She thought that Chen Chu would shrink back when she said this, but she didn't expect that he had misunderstood her meaning and thought that she really planned to marry her.But I can't refuse directly, I can only tell Chen Chuzhi in a tactful and tactful tone, "The matter of the sixth sister has caused a lot of trouble in the city, I want to tell you clearly, even if I marry you, I won't live for you." children's."

She said all these words, which should cut off all Chen Chu's thoughts.Aren't women just for giving birth?She used to imagine that there would be love in this world, but what happened to Qiao Liuxiu told her that perhaps there was no such thing as love in this world at all.Sure enough, she saw a troubled expression on Chen Chu's face, and she smiled lightly. Sure enough, all the men in this world care about this matter very much.

Chen Chu frowned. Naturally, he had no objection to whether he had children or not.But the queen mother probably would not agree.He was brought up by the Queen Mother, and since childhood, the Queen Mother has doted on him more than the Emperor.He also tried his best to meet the wishes of the elderly.What the old man looks forward to most is to have a child, but if Qiao Jiuxiu doesn't want it, what should he do?So she shook her head lightly, "Xiu'er, can we just have one child? I promise, as long as there is one. I have to ask someone to inherit my title."

Hearing this, Qiao Jiuxiu raised the corner of her mouth slightly.Sure enough.
