The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 273

According to Chu Dichen's intention, Qiao Jiuxiu was going to go directly to the Three Princes Mansion when she got out of the prison, but she was stopped by Qinghe, who said that since she was imprisoned this time, she had to wash her whole body with wormwood, so that she could get rid of it. The bad luck in the prison is washed away.Although she knew that there was no scientific basis for this at all, she still didn't want to argue with Qing He, so she simply took a bath for herself.

Of course, while taking a bath, Qiao Jiuxiu was not idle, listening to Yingluan's report on the affairs of the palace.Since she became the unlucky head of the royal family, she can no longer live the comfortable life she used to.She was busy until very late almost every day, there were many things in the palace, and there were very few people she could trust, so she really couldn't handle it.But Yingluan is training Hongxiu, and when Hongxiu can be alone, they should be able to relax a bit.

The current situation is actually very embarrassing. Those who are capable cannot be trusted, and those who are trusted are not capable.That's why she and Yingluan were exhausted.Only when bathing and sleeping can I relax.Although Qing He said that she could help a little, but as the best and only female doctor in the palace, her work all day long was also very cumbersome.Moreover, Qiao Jiuxiu always felt that she was not used to Qing He's temperament.

For example, now that she is still taking a bath, Qing He is chatting about various ways of keeping in good health.Qiao Jiuxiu wasn't interested in these things, but she just kept talking, over and over again.The expression on Yingluan's face at the side was also quite helpless, it seemed that she was often tortured by Qinghe in various aspects, and she had been tortured by her for so long, and she hadn't gotten used to it yet.Fortunately, after taking a bath, Qing He finally calmed down.

After bathing and changing clothes, seeing that it was still early, she told Yingluan and Qinghe about the prince's plan.Qing He nodded, but there was no objection.However, Yingluan's complexion was a little bad.Qiao Jiuxiu saw that something was wrong with her, so she asked.Yingluan only half-jokingly said, "No, just thinking about being with Qinghe, I feel uncomfortable all over the body. This is a kind of problem. The princess must not take it to heart. I just think she keeps talking, I can't stand it."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. Sometimes she also has such an impulse. She is a person who likes to be quiet. If someone keeps talking in her ear, she will naturally not get used to it.However, I always feel that Yingluan's appearance should be due to other worries.But since she didn't want to speak, she didn't ask any more.Anyway, what Yingluan didn't want to talk about, even if she tried her best, she couldn't get a glimpse of it.

Anyway, she can already be sure that both Yingluan and Qinghe are trustworthy people, knowing this is enough.As for the rest, it's not the point.

Now that she was ready, Qiao Jiuxiu took the two of them out. Although she knew that the third prince's residence should be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, she only brought two maids with her. The prince finds it strange, secondly, neither Yingluan nor Qinghe are fuel-efficient lamps, they are much better than ten or eight maidservants.Moreover, they went to visit Qiao Qixiu openly and aboveboard this time, no matter how much the third prince hated Chu Dichen, he couldn't let them go without returning.

Therefore, there is no danger at all along the way.Thinking of this, the expressions of the three of them became very calm.The carriage stopped in front of the Palace of the Third Prince, and Qiao Jiuxiu got off the carriage with two maids.See the facade of the palace.Qiao Jiuxiu let out an exclamation.She had seen the world before, and Chu Dichen, like Chu Dimo, was born as a prince, how could there be such a big gap?
Of course, the Nine Kings Mansion is also very beautifully decorated, but compared with the Three Kings Mansion, it is decisive.Just the two auspicious beasts parked at the door are not on the same level.The Nine Kings Mansion is carved with marble, while the Three Kings Mansion is inlaid with a thin layer of gold on the outside, which naturally looks more magnificent.Yingluan handed over the name cards and waited for someone to welcome them in.Qiao Jiuxiu stopped where she was, continuing to admire the domineering and grandeur of the Three Princes' Mansion.

But after a while, Qiao Qixiu came out with two maids. She hadn't seen her for half a year. She looked even more beautiful, and she exuded an intellectual charm that only mature women can have.When seeing Qiao Jiuxiu, there was a slight joy on his face, but he soon returned to normal.

Qiao Jiuxiu naturally didn't see the change, and hurriedly walked up to Qiao Qixiu, grabbed her sleeve, and said with emotion, "Seventh sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, we must have a good time later." chat."

Qiao Qixiu nodded slightly, but she let go of Qiao Jiuxiu's hand holding her quietly.This movement was so small that Qiao Jiuxiu didn't notice it at all, but Qinghe Yingluan who was at the side could see it clearly.The two hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Qiao Qixiu welcomed the three of them in.The gate of the Three Kings Mansion is magnificent, and the scenery inside is also unique.The pavilions, towers and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, not only have the charm of decoration in the south of the Yangtze River, but also not the rough decoration style of the north.Qiao Jiuxiu looked at it all the way, and felt a bit of slander in her heart. It is also the palace, so why is there such a big difference between the palaces of the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince?
The Palace of the Third Prince is magnificent and beautiful, but in comparison, the Palace of the Nine Princes is a bit shabby, it feels like an ordinary rich family, and there is no trace of a king's demeanor at all.Of course, Qiao Jiuxiu didn't plan to find a time to take a good rest in the Nine Princes Mansion, as long as it could accommodate people, she didn't worry about that, and if the overall decoration was renovated, it would be very troublesome, so she didn't make trouble for herself.

Along the way, she could see quite a few Yingying and Yanyan. She guessed that they were the other wives and concubines in the Third Prince's residence.Because Qiao Qixiu's status is not high, she respectfully calls all the women who pass by her elder sister.And Qiao Jiuxiu is different, although they are guests, but these women are very discerning, one mouthful of nine concubines, so called Qiao Jiuxiu feel very embarrassed.

The third prince is not at the residence, he must have gone to the military camp.After Qiao Jiuxiu heard the news, she let out a sigh of relief. This is the best way, lest she doesn't know what to say when she meets Chu Dimo.She always felt that Chu Dimo's eyes were too powerful.She has always been a person who likes simplicity, and will stay away from dangerous and complicated people.

Although he also knows that some people cannot be avoided just by keeping them at a respectful distance.

Qiao Qixiu finally stopped, pointed to the somewhat bleak courtyard and said, "Jiumei, this is where I live, wait a minute, I'll go in and clean up."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. She came here unexpectedly. It is reasonable for Seventh Sister to be unprepared, but she doesn't know that they are the best sisters. They are just here to visit relatives. Does she need to make special preparations?For some reason, Qiao Jiuxiu had a bad feeling in her heart, always feeling that there was some estrangement between herself and Qiao Qixiu.She felt slightly uncomfortable, but she could only hold it in her heart, not to talk to Yingluan and the others.

Qinghe pulled Yingluan aside, knowing that Yingluan had put a lot of effort into investigating the people and things in Qiao's mansion before, she must know Qiao Qixiu very well, so she wanted to know what kind of man he was from Yingluan's mouth One person said, "Yingluan, tell me, how is the relationship between Miss Qiaofu Seventh and the princess? She doesn't have any bad intentions."

"En?" Yingluan was slightly taken aback, "When I was in Qiao Mansion, Miss Seven was the best sister of the princess. She helped the princess solve many difficult problems. If there is no Miss Qi, the princess will have a hard time in the Qiao mansion. A lot of hardships. The relationship between the two has always been bitter, so I thought, she should not do anything to be sorry for the princess."

Hearing this, Qing He let out a soft breath, "So, that's the best. You don't know, I saw that Miss Seven's expression was a little strange, as if she didn't want to see the princess, I thought I was thinking too much. Since You say they are the best sisters, I don't have to worry about it."

"I'm afraid, it's not that simple." Yingluan frowned deeply, "Miss Seven has a very good relationship with the princess, but it was before she married the third prince. Now the prince and the third prince are at war. She is the third prince. After all, she will still help her husband."

Hearing this, Qing He could only slightly nod her head, Yingluan's words made sense, and Qiao Qixiu's expression just now was really a little strange.It seems that we still need to be careful. "Then what should we do?"

"I can only take one step at a time." Yingluan bit her lip slightly, as if she was a little uncertain.Then he sighed, "It's just that if Wang Hao knows that Miss Seven has changed, she should be very sad."

The best sister who used to be, now has a different appearance, whoever she is, will feel uncomfortable.

Qing He also nodded, hoping for all of this, but she and Ying Luan were thinking too much.

Qiao Jiuxiu suddenly walked up to the two of them, "What are you thinking about?" Before Qiao Qixiu came out, Yingluan and Qinghe were whispering again, making her wonder what she should do.

Seeing this, Yingluan hurriedly found an excuse, "Reporting to Wangfei, I just think the decoration of the Three Princes' Mansion is good, and I'm discussing with Qing He to see what places the Ninth Prince's Mansion can learn from."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, never thinking that Yingluan would be interested in this kind of thing.But immediately felt strange, "Do you need to deliberately avoid me when you discuss this kind of issue?"

What is the problem, they have to hide from themselves.Qinghe hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to explain it, but luckily Qiao Qixiu had packed up, walked out from the inside, and welcomed the three of them in.

Both Yingluan and Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, the princess probably won't continue to ask questions.
