The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 251

Having found the goal of struggle, Qiao Jiuxiu has been living a very fulfilling life recently. Whenever she has free time, she makes all kinds of handmade embroidery for Chen Chu, and then Chen Chu gives herself some silver taels, which she will save until the amount is almost the same. When it was time, Hongxiu was sent to Qiao's residence.Hongxiu has completely settled down in the Ninth Prince's Mansion.But Hongxiu also had some things to say and didn't know whether she should say it or not. Qiao Jiuxiu has been married to the palace for so long and has never seen the prince. This is really abnormal.

But no one in the palace found it strange about this matter, so she could only keep silent.Because Hongxiu's temperament is very cute, Yingluan became very good friends with her every time she came and went.Now I come here every now and then to help.Ever since Hongxiu knew that Yingluan had killed Qinglian, she always had a strange feeling towards her.Even though she knew that Qinglian deserved to die, she still couldn't imagine that a well-behaved daughter like Yingluan would actually hold a butcher's knife.

Sometimes Yingluan really wants to tell Hongxiu that this is not the first time she has used a butcher's knife, she has already started killing people when she was seven years old, and after all these years, she has already gotten used to it.But I thought that Hongxiu was not very courageous, so I thought it was better to forget it, if Hongxiu's little heart was frightened, she should come and apologize in person.This day, Qiao Jiuxiu was embroidering with the two of them in the room when Yingluan sighed.

"Yingluan, what's the matter?" Qiao Jiuxiu stopped what she was doing.Knowing that Yingluan is the housekeeper of the family, she has a lot of things to do, and now she stays by her side all day, and she also feels sorry for her. Seeing her keep breathing, she knows that she is bored, "Yingluan, actually, you don't have to. Accompany me like this, if you have something to do, you can arrange it yourself, it is enough to have Hongxiu here with me."

Yingluan shook her head, she really didn't like to accompany Qiao Jiuxiu to embroider, she never had the slightest interest in this matter, and she didn't know why girls learn to embroider, but Chen Chu told her to be sure You must follow Qiao Jiuxiu every step of the way.She was thinking that this is the palace, so who else would dare to do harm to the palace?But she has always had the only reason to carry out the orders of the prince, "Princess, the prince has told me to follow you every step of the way. You can't make things difficult for me, right?"

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, she naturally had no reason to embarrass Yingluan, but she really wanted to know, why did the prince insist that Yingluan follow her?Is it because he is still on guard against her?Could it be that the reason why he took himself in was to use himself to control the Qiao Mansion?The legendary Nine Princes are too scheming.

Yingluan shook her head, although she didn't know what Qiao Jiuxiu was thinking about, but judging from her appearance, she should be thinking too much.One must know that Chen Chu simply wanted to protect Qiao Jiuxiu's safety.And Yingluan is the best candidate. She is capable and obedient enough to never let him down in her work, so she naturally becomes the best bodyguard.He originally thought that Qiao Jiuxiu would soon understand his good intentions, but now it seems that it was self-defeating.

"Miss, let's change the subject." Seeing the embarrassment on the expressions of both of them, Hongxiu changed the subject very obediently, "I found that Miss's embroidery skills are getting better and better recently, and the money she sells is getting better and better. More and more. It’s just that last time my wife asked me where the money came from, and I didn’t know how to answer my wife.”

"You must not say that I made money selling embroidered handkerchiefs. My wife may be angry if she finds out." Qiao Jiuxiu hastily reminded her that the wife always saves face. If she finds out that she sold embroidered handkerchiefs to support the Qiao family.It must be very uncomfortable in my heart, not only will I not continue to accept her help, but maybe I will provoke a wave of scolding.She doesn't do such thankless things.

Hongxiu nodded. Although she doesn't like to lie, she also knows the stakes. "Miss, don't worry, I told my wife that these things are all rewarded by the prince. The prince likes the lady. But in fact, the lady married It's been more than two months, and I haven't seen the prince, it's really pitiful."

Qiao Jiuxiu cursed in her heart, it would be better if she didn't see her.She doesn't want to see the Ninth Prince, and it's very good now, she lives easily every day, without fighting, and doesn't have to cater to others, although she can't leave the house casually, her freedom is restricted, but Qiao Jiuxiu likes it very much calm life.But Yingluan could hear a chuckle.

The reason why Yingluan chuckled was because what Hongxiu said just now was so cute.This money is really a reward from the prince.Haven't they discovered recently that the life in the palace is somewhat frugal?When the prince is outside, he needs to disguise himself as a dandy who spends his days and nights, but in fact he saves a lot. He has never been generous to women. Qiao Jiuxiu is definitely No.1.

"Yingluan, what are you laughing at?" Qiao Jiuxiu glanced at Yingluan maliciously, with a teasing tone.Yingluan shrugged slightly, "Miss, it's not a big deal. If possible, can I buy you an embroidered handkerchief?"

"If you don't sell it, don't you know how to make it yourself?" Hongxiu raised the bar at a critical moment. He was joking anyway, thinking that no one would mind.Sure enough, Yingluan raised her eyebrows, "My sister has money, why do you want to do it yourself?"

"Is it too lazy to do it, or can't do it?" Hongxiu once again grasped the crux of the problem.Qiao Jiuxiu also nodded repeatedly.Yingluan's face turned embarrassed. She really doesn't know how to embroider, but she still has a sullen face, unwilling to admit defeat, "I don't know how to embroider, but let me tell you, I can kill people with embroidery needles."

As a killer, she can flexibly use various tools to achieve the purpose of killing.Qiao Jiuxiu and Hongxiu both had helpless expressions on their faces. Yingluan must have been a little too creative for killing people with embroidery needles.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed softly, "Yingluan, if you talk like this, you will scare all the men away, and then you won't be able to get married."

"What does it matter." Yingluan patted her chest slightly, "I believe that there is always a man in this world who is specially prepared for me, as for other men, it's just passing by. I won't change myself for those things."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded with a wry smile. I have to say that Yingluan's logic is really ridiculously powerful.The embroidered handkerchief in her hand was finished again, Qiao Jiuxiu stood up slightly, "Well, it's almost done, I'll go and give these things to Chen Chu first, and then come back and continue working." I have to say, the embroidered handkerchief is a matter of It's time-consuming, and she's really tired. It seems that after finishing this batch, she needs to rest for a few days.

"Yingluan, why don't you go help me and give this thing to Chen Chu, I won't be bothered to make a trip." Qiao Jiuxiu thought that she could take the opportunity to go to bed and lie down for a while, besides, isn't Yingluan feeling bored?Just to go out for a change of mood.Hearing these words, Yingluan's expression changed, and the eloquent girl suddenly stuttered, "Princess, this is not acceptable, this time, I still have to let you make a special trip."

Now that the prince is using the identity of Chen Chu, there are not many opportunities to meet Qiao Jiuxiu. After all, he can only meet once or twice when he is giving the embroidered handkerchief, so as to comfort the pain of lovesickness. If she goes to give the embroidered handkerchief , I'm afraid it will make the prince unhappy, she doesn't want to offend the prince because of this kind of thing.To be a servant, you must know how to act according to color.Seeing that Yingluan was unwilling, Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't force it, "Okay, I'll go, but you should tell me the specific reason."

Yingluan slightly flattened her mouth, knowing that if she didn't tell the truth, Qiao Jiuxiu would be upset.Besides, she couldn't think of a reasonable excuse for a while, "I just think Mr. Chen should really want to see the princess. So it's better not to disappoint him."

"I don't want to see him." Qiao Jiuxiu exhaled, that's all, Chen Chu helped her a lot in this matter, so she reluctantly went to see Chen Chu, so she put away her things, "Then I Just go and come, you just wait here for me."

But Yingluan stood up, "Princess, I have to go together. The prince said that he will take care of you every step of the way." Although the palace has always been very peaceful, Yingluan still has to follow the prince's arrangement. According to the prince's original words, If something unexpected happens to Qiao Jiuxiu, it is definitely not something she can bear.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and could only let Yingluan follow her.Just along the way, there were still people talking to him.

"Miss, I'm going too." Hongxiu also stood up, what she was doing in this room alone, it was better to accompany Miss.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, this person is a companion, and the two are also companions, since these two maids are not at ease with her, then let's go together.I don't know who Chen Chu is, and it is worth so many people to see him together.

Hongxiu had roughly told her about the situation in Qiao's mansion. The current situation is considered stable, but General Ye has completely lost power, his military power has been emptied, and he will retire on the fifteenth day of next month.Ye Duanyi has also been depressed for a long time because of this matter, but now she is still a little depressed.But for this, Qiao Jiuxiu really couldn't help.As for the silver taels he sent over, although it was a drop in the bucket, it could finally make Qiao's life a bit more comfortable.

I don't know how long such a day will last.She looked at the colorful fallen flowers outside. Autumn had already passed, and it was another winter. She didn't know how this winter would be.She didn't think she could live such a leisurely life until the beginning of spring.No matter how calm the Ninth Prince could hold his breath, he was afraid that he would also see himself, the Ninth Concubine in name.
