Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 10

Gu Qi didn't speak, so there was only a quiet room in the house, the smell of books lingered in the nose, and there was a sense of tranquility in the air.

Chu Yan also looked at him quietly, her big black and round eyes were full of aura, as if she was waiting for his test of herself.

Seeing that he stopped talking, she thought for a while before slowly saying, "I know that the prince's brother hates me, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with me."

Gu Qi twitched his lips, "It's not too stupid."

"I also know what the prince brother meant by wiping my tears with a handkerchief in front of everyone that day. He just wanted everyone to dislike me and asked me to leave the palace honestly and go back to the Zhao family." Sheng's voice said such realistic words, and a little sadness gradually appeared on his childish face.

Gu Qi didn't speak, and let her continue talking alone.

Chu Yan lowered her head to look at her knees, and her voice gradually weakened, "In the mansion, because I am a daughter-in-law, my brothers and sisters don't like me, and after knowing that I am going to enter the palace, they all want me Leave early. After entering the palace, because I am the niece of my aunt and the cousin of the brother of the prince, everyone also dislikes me, hoping to catch my fault and tell me to just carry the burden and get out of the palace again. , go back to the mansion."

"I've tried my best to be a likable kid, but no matter how hard I try, people don't like me."

The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally had a trill, like a whimpering kitten.

Chu Yan made up a lot of things, buried her face in her knees, and cried silently.Weak girls are certainly not cute, but appropriate weakness will definitely help arouse men's pity and sympathy.

Gu Qi stood there without saying a word, the window behind him was slightly opened and closed, and the sunlight slanted in from there, stretching his shadow on the ground.

He looked at the little man huddled in a ball in front of him, pitifully small, just hiding in the corner of the wall, as if he wished to tuck himself into the ground, so that he would never have to face such a cruel reality again.

He once looked at this little girl who was arranged into the palace for no reason with hatred and disgust, because he knew that she would be a pawn used by his mother to seize power for the Zhao family.

Now, Chu Yan clearly presented her situation in front of him, but it seemed to remind him of a long-forgotten fact.

In his childhood, why didn't he experience everything like this?

He is the emperor's eldest son, but he has a mother who is not favored. All the concubines hope that he will step down early, even if he dies. At least they will still have a chance to give birth to a prince for the emperor and crown the harem.

At his mother's place, he was regarded as a future emperor, and he was under pressure and harsh criticism that a child should not bear. After finally going to the concubine Rong, he had the opportunity to live a normal child's life.

He was lucky enough to meet a concubine Rong Huang, but what about Chu Yan?
Chu Yan had nothing, only the envy and jealousy of the crowd, and the pressure from Zhao Ronghua.

The sunlight shrouded that little person, making people feel that the edges were a little blurred, as if there was a shimmer.

Gu Qi heard himself say to her in a peaceful and distant voice, "This is not your fault, you don't need to blame yourself."

But Chu Yan seemed to be stunned, and raised her head to look at him, with tears still on her face.

"In a person's life, there are many things that are beyond our control. Where you were born, who your parents are, what responsibilities and pressures you will bear, and how fate will mock you and hit you... These things are not what you expected Here." Gu Qi looked at her very calmly, "But at least, you have to learn to adapt to them, either be changed by them, or... change them."

Rong Zhen taught him these words. At that time, she smiled and looked at him who was hiding and crying, looked at him with such gentle eyes, and said such words.

She said, "When I was that unknown little court lady who was bullied by others, who would have known that today I would become the emperor's unique concubine Rong Rong?"

From a court lady to today, it must be a lot more bumpy than the journey he was born to be a prince, and she can do it as a woman, so why does he feel sorry for himself?

In the same way, Gu Qi didn't feel sorry for Chu Yan, nor did he feel that he had to change his original intention to accept her because of her pity, but the way she huddled up and cried was very similar to him in the past. He just wanted to do it for himself. The shadow only points the way.

Chu Yan wiped away her tears, and asked him half-understood, "If I work hard to change, will the prince brother like me?"

Gu Qi let out a "huh", "You are thinking too much."

Those hopeful eyes snorted and went out again.

Gu Qi wanted to ridicule her, but he heard himself say something inexplicably, "The imperial palace is not the best place to settle down, and it is not necessarily better than your life in the Zhao Mansion. You have to understand that it is not someone else who arranges for you. What kind of life you live, what kind of life you must live.”

If they moved to another place, he and she might not be at such a tense situation anymore.

So, go out of the palace and don't get involved in this muddy water.

Chu Yan completely understood what he meant.

It wasn't her that he hated in the first place, but the forces behind her and the consequences that would be unfavorable to him if she succeeded in assuming the position.

If she doesn't follow Zhao Ronghua's idea, if she is willing to give up the idea of ​​being a princess, he will not have the slightest dislike for her at all.

But she has no choice, and she will not leave the palace again.

What are you going to do when you leave the palace?As a returned defective product?

Chu Yan knew that she would continue on, and she also had the confidence to change this mature and precocious ascetic ascetic prince.

After all, she is Chu Yan from the 21st century, not a cowardly and independent woman in this era.

The more challenging something is, the more interesting it is to do.

She suddenly showed a bright smile, wiped away her tears with her sleeves, stood up and patted her skirt, "I will be the same as the prince's brother, as strong and independent, as brave."

On the contrary, Gu Qi was surprised, how did she know that he was enlightening her with his own experience?

But Chu Yan had such a pretty smile, even though she was still young, she couldn't hide the stunning beauty on her immature face.

She inherited her mother's appearance, she was not delicate enough, but she was extremely delicate and charming. Even without makeup, she still had bright red lips and creamy skin, a complete disaster.

When Gu Qi was in a daze, he couldn't help frowning again... This appearance, really, is really a disaster for the country and the people!
The two stayed in the study for quite a while, and for the first time, they did not confront each other, but instead spoke out their innermost thoughts.

If Qingyang hadn't passed by the corridor and suddenly pushed the door open, I'm afraid this kind of time would have lasted longer.

Qingyang Hall was catching a sparrow in the front and back of the house, and when he hurried through the study, he suddenly heard the sound of talking from inside, so he paused his steps, and recognized that the person who spoke was none other than the elder brother of the prince.

If it's just the prince, she didn't think about it that much, and ran to the person she was afraid of, but before she walked away, she suddenly heard another voice, which was clear and sweet, like a yellow warbler on a branch.

This, this, isn't this Chu Yan?

Qingyang was startled, and ran to the door to listen to the corner of the wall, but unexpectedly the door wasn't closed properly, it was just ajar, as soon as she leaned on it, she couldn't help but fell into the room along the door.

The peaceful atmosphere in the room was suddenly broken, and both Gu Qi and Chu Yan turned their heads to look at Qingyang who fell to the ground and cried out.

Gu Qi frowned immediately, and looked at Qing Yang displeasedly, "Are you eavesdropping?"

Qingyang trembled when he saw his frowning, and argued with a mournful face, "No, I didn't eavesdrop..."

Chu Yan raised her forehead with a black face, "Why did you suddenly fall in without eavesdropping?"

Qingyang glared at her fiercely, "None of your business!"

"..."

Chu Yan didn't say a word, she looked frightened, but she sighed in her heart that the princess was indeed a five-year-old child with such low combat effectiveness.

How can there be a sense of accomplishment if you win without martial arts?that's too regretful.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really got angry at such a time, looked at Qingyang coldly, stretched out his hand and pointed at the door, "If you want to make a fuss, go to the main hall to find your mother, this is a place to read, you are not allowed to mess around!"

In his eyes, Qingyang is purely a child spoiled by the eldest princess, lawless, big or small, really disgusting.

Qingyang has always been a bully in the mansion, why has he ever suffered such humiliation?Tears welled up in his eyes at the moment, but he tried not to fall, and walked out without saying a word.

Looking at the prince's expression, Chu Yan felt that it was best not to provoke him at this time, so she put the book away lightly, and said politely, "His Royal Highness, I will take my leave first."

She walked past him with low eyebrows, but Gu Qi looked at her small figure without speaking.

Chu Yan walked all the way to the end of the corridor, but saw another familiar figure beside the pool—Beijun King Qin Yuanshan, Qingyang's younger brother.

The five-year-old boy sat quietly on the big rock on the bank, looking down at the book seriously.

Chu Yan wanted to cry, why did the people she met in ancient times were all academic masters?
She also started to receive this kind of formal cultural education in elementary school in modern times. How did she become the current situation in ancient times?At first, she was very proud of her professional counterpart, but from this point of view, I am afraid that when she is fifteen or sixteen years old, the skills of this group of brats will have to catch up with her, a doctoral student in Chinese language!

Thinking that she and Qingyang didn't see eye to eye, she turned around, not intending to have anything to do with the king of Beijun who had been crowned at a young age.

But just as he turned around, the sound of footsteps had already alarmed Qin Yuanshan. He just looked back and stopped Chu Yan who was about to leave.

"Miss Zhao."

Chu Yan's legs stiffened, she turned her head helplessly, and smiled at him like a real lady, "I have seen the King of Beijun."

Qin Yuanshan is not as domineering as Qingyang, on the contrary, his smile is like the real spring breeze in March, making people feel peaceful and beautiful.

The guy who was as precocious as the prince smiled and looked at her gently and politely like an adult, "Miss Zhao, you don't need to be polite, just call me by my name. Last time, my sister had a little trouble with you. Thanks to you for not caring, I will take my place." Thank you."

The fight with Qingyang last time was indeed Chu Yan's concession, and she didn't expose Qin Yuanshan's lies for her sister, so he should thank her this time.

Chu Yan was not polite, and because of the gentle and calm attitude of the North County King, he could not be connected with his domineering sister, so he smiled and said, "The King is polite."

"Qin Yuanshan." He corrected again.

Seeing his serious face, Chu Yan couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, Qin Yuanshan."

Since entering the palace, only Qingyang and Shen Xin were the only children who had crossed paths with each other. Today, there was another Qin Yuanshan—of course, the crown prince and Gu Mingan were no longer children in her eyes, and this Qin Yuanshan was Chu Yan's favorite. one of them.

Even if a five-year-old child is precocious, some emotions in his eyes cannot be concealed, and Qin Yuanshan's peaceful smile from the beginning to the end is also due to his personality.

Chu Yan could tell that he was really different from his sister, and she didn't know how the eldest princess raised the children, and why the personalities of one son and one woman were completely different?
At this moment, an angry voice came from the other end of the corridor, breaking the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

"Zhao Chuyan! You are bullying my brother again!"

Three black lines slid down Chu Yan's forehead, so is this the vicious female supporting role?There is her everywhere!It's everywhere!
She turned around and was about to explain, but Qin Yuanshan's voice sounded at the same time, "Sister, Miss Zhao didn't—"

"Bang—" Before Qin Yuanshan finished speaking, he stared dumbfounded at his awesome sister who pushed Chu Yan, and Chu Yan was thin and small, how could she stand up to such a toss by the mellow Qingyang?
Her feet staggered, her center of gravity became unsteady, so Chu Yan gracefully... fell into the water.

The lake water in early spring and March was so fucking freezing, it was so cold that Chu Yan's whole body was submerged.

While thumping, she thought bitterly: Damn, I don't know if the real Zhao Chuyan can swim. At a time like this, should she swim or not?
