The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 244

Qiao Jiuxiu and Yingluan walked all the way, whenever they passed by a place, Yingluan introduced the specific name of the place to Qiao Jiuxiu, and told her many rules of the palace.Qiao Jiuxiu was startled when she heard that, and then she realized that there was a big difference between Wangfu and Qiaofu, especially since she became a princess, she needed to pay attention to many things.When the two were wandering around, they saw a group of gorgeously dressed women approaching, all of whom were born with aristocratic temperament.Yingluan walked up to the crowd and saluted neither humble nor overbearing, "Yingluan has met all the ladies."

lady?Qiao Jiuxiu was startled, but immediately understood what Yingluan was referring to. Presumably these people were all the wives and concubines of the Ninth Prince, and there were seven or eight of them, but it should be just the tip of the iceberg. several.However, the ring is fat, the swallows are thin, and each has its own merits.Especially one of them, although he was already 25, but he was noble and generous, and he showed a distinctive demeanor at first sight.

"Who is this?" One of them, Lan Hua raised her finger, pointing at Qiao Jiuxiu, "Let me guess, this is the legendary Ninth Miss of the Qiao Mansion. Look at her, she is clearly a young child , should be just a maid."

Qiao Jiuxiu frowned slightly, she was afraid she was trying to give herself a bad blow on purpose.Sure enough, I heard another woman beside me say, "I said you don't understand what nonsense you are talking about here. If it's just a maid, how can our chief manager Yingluan commit himself to accompany you? Tell me, right?"

Qiao Jiuxiu's face turned pale, and she didn't know how to speak, when Yingluan took the man's words and said, "The third madam is really insightful, I don't think the side concubine is so good at joking, this is naturally the ninth lady of Qiao's mansion. Your lord It's a pity that Miss Jiu's body is delicate, so she was taken to the mansion first, thinking that she will hold a grand wedding ceremony when her body is almost healthy. Ladies, please make it easier for me."

Still neither humble nor overbearing, Qiao Jiuxiu sighed slightly, the housekeeper of this palace is so powerful.Not only is she eloquent, but she is also not inferior to the ladies in front of her in terms of momentum.

"Are you really the Ninth Miss of the Qiao Mansion?" The side concubine approached, and carefully sized Qiao Jiuxiu up, "Sure enough, she is a beauty, but it's a pity, this flower is still a flower bone, and she still looks like a child, how can she know how to serve the prince. When do you come to my side and sit down, I will teach you well."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.Qiao Jiuxiu was flustered by everyone's arrogance just now, but now she has calmed down, so she smiled slightly, "Really? I really want to thank my sister. But although there are many rules in the house, I think Yingluan You should be able to teach me well. I won’t bother you to condescend.”

Hearing what Qiao Jiuxiu said, Yingluan hurriedly said that she would definitely help Miss Jiu learn the etiquette of the palace, so as not to lose the face of the palace, and asked the wives in the palace to rest assured.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed lightly, she felt exhausted after this round alone, how could she fight with so many wives in the palace in the future?In her bones, she is content with whatever comes her way, and she doesn't want to fight with him, but wearing a high hat of a princess, how can she live a low-key, quiet and stable life?

"She's quite eloquent." The side concubine smiled lightly, but walked to Qiao Jiuxiu's side, "After all, she is still a poor woman. The prince wants to like the new and dislike the old. He has liked every woman here for at least half a year. I also hope three Five years later, you can still talk to me so arrogantly." After speaking, the side concubine led the others away, and from the beginning to the end, she didn't give Qiao Jiuxiu a good face.

"Miss Jiu, don't take this matter to heart." Yingluan advised softly, "The side concubine is usually a good person, and I have never seen her so mean, probably because of your low status, but you can be a princess. The position, she feels uncomfortable, so she deliberately finds fault, and you don't feel unhappy. There will be many opportunities to meet in the future, and the face lost this time will be recovered next time."

Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head, she didn't want to provoke such a woman again, to make herself smell bad.Wei Wei leaned back, "Yingluan, I'm tired, let's go back. If we continue shopping, I don't think there will be any gains. Don't see any unclean things by then."

Yingluan nodded slightly, the two of them were just about to leave, when suddenly a person appeared from the side of the rockery, Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes lit up first, but soon her face became gloomy, and she took two quick steps forward, obviously not planning to see him.

Chen Chu knew that the girl was still angry, so she could only take two quick steps, and chased after Qiao Jiuxiu, "I said Xiu'er, you are still angry with me, aren't you?"

Qiao Jiuxiu ignored Chen Chu's entanglement with a pitiful tone, and took another two steps forward. Seeing that Chen Chu still did not intend to let her go, she said to Yingluan beside her, "Yingluan, this man is disrespectful to the future princess. What will happen, what can you do not drive him away?"

Yingluan glanced at Chen Chu, then at Qiao Jiuxiu, thinking that the princess was dissatisfied with the prince, and she couldn't make fun of their servants.He could only continue to laugh and stand beside Chen Chu and Qiao Jiuxiu, neither planning to help nor leaving.

Qiao Jiuxiu glared at Yingluan, feeling even more uncomfortable, "Yingluan, what are you afraid of him doing? Didn't you handle it well when the side concubine was in front of you just now? Isn't he just one of the prince's aides? What is your family afraid of him? Don't you worry about offending me, the future princess?"

Qiao Jiuxiu put her hands on her hips, and tried her best to portray her image as a bullying shrew, but she seemed to have failed very much. Chen Chu shook her head, only thinking that she looked very cute just now, and nodded slightly to Yingluan, "Yingluan , it's getting late, you can just retreat, if there is something else, I will find you again."

Yingluan nodded quickly as if she had been pardoned, and retreated.At the end, she looked at Qiao Jiuxiu worriedly. Although she had just met, she still had a good impression of Miss Jiu of the Qiao Mansion. I hope the prince will not blame Miss Jiu, let alone ruin their marriage.Sighing lightly, she should have told Qiao Jiuxiu to be careful what she said in the palace if she knew earlier, and she didn't know if she would say something unpleasant later, which would make the prince unhappy.

All in all, good luck to you.

"Xiu'er, we haven't seen each other for a while. Why, how have you been recently?" Chen Chu walked in front of Qiao Jiuxiu. Chen Chu knew everything about her recently, but he couldn't help her. There are many things, and he has to deal with them one by one.If one thing is not handled properly, it may affect the direction of the entire Great Chu Empire, and he has no way to do it.Moreover, the palace is not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den. He doesn't know why Qiao Jiuxiu must seek death and life, and is unwilling to marry into the palace no matter what. Could it be that he is really so unbearable in her heart?

"Mr. Chen, you don't need to call me Xiu'er. Please call me Miss Nine. If you are destined to become the master of the palace in the future, you can also call me Wangfei. You should know that you rejected me in the restaurant that day. In the future, you It's absolutely inappropriate to call me Xiu'er." Qiao Jiuxiu slowly turned to Chen Chufu, "By the way, I want to thank Mr. Chen for taking care of me all the way. From now on, when I'm in the palace, it's better to avoid suspicion. "

Chen Chu frowned slightly, Qiao Jiuxiu clearly planned to hide from him by saying this.Stepping forward, holding Qiao Jiuxiu's wrist, "Tell me, what did you mean by that just now?"

"Literally." Qiao Jiuxiu pulled his hand out of his hand, "Could it be that Mr. Chen doesn't even know such simple words and simple truths? He has always been like the Hou family as deep as the sea, and from now on Xiao Lang is a passerby. What's more In the future, everyone will live together under the same roof, avoiding suspicion is a must. In the future, please ask Mr. Chen not to come to me in public."

After Qiao Jiuxiu finished speaking, she took another two steps forward. What she was most afraid of was facing Chen Chu in the palace.

If he didn't have himself in his heart, she might be willing to marry into the palace, but that day in the restaurant, he clearly expressed his liking for her, but when he turned around, he willingly pushed himself to others.This broke her heart.

You don't need to like me, but why do you have to come and provoke me?Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Chen Chu and felt pain in her heart.He walked two steps forward silently, but Chen Chu still refused to let Qiao Jiuxiu go, and still held her hand.

He knew why Qiao Jiuxiu was angry, but now was not the time, not a day before he told the truth.Now, let her misunderstand herself.

"Xiu'er." She spoke, still the most nostalgic title.Qiao Jiuxiu turned her head and smiled, and slapped Chen Chu on the face, "Mr. Chen, why do you call me Xiu'er? The Chen Chu who called me Xiu'er is dead, and the one who is alive now is just another person." .Actually, I don’t blame you, I only blame my heart for paying wrongly at that time!”

Chen Chu stroked his flushed cheeks, and shook his head lightly. It was indeed his fault, so he would not blame Qiao Jiuxiu.He only hoped that she would give him enough time to have a good night talk with her after all the court affairs were settled, otherwise he would not know whether he helped her or married Qiao Jiuxiu. hurt her.

Seeing that Chen Chu was no longer entangled, Qiao Jiuxiu quickly left the garden, and finally couldn't help but shed tears. The first relationship in love was so absurd.

Yingluan came out from behind the rockery, "My lord, are you planning to keep the princess a secret? She's like this, I'm afraid it will be hard."

Chen Chu was silent, he didn't feel better if he kept it from her.
