Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 41

Outside the side hall, there was no one in the yard except Wan Xi who was guarding the door.

He asked all the maids and eunuchs guarding here to go out, Chen Xiang was in charge of watching the outside, and he was guarding the side hall, in case the prince needed anything.

The movement in the house lasted for a long time before it finally calmed down. Wanxi sweated, thinking to himself that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too picky about timing. It's already noon and it's time for dinner. How can people wonder.

That's right, the crown prince entered the side hall all morning, and even the lunch time was delayed. May I ask what did you do with the crown prince?
In the room, Gu Qi was lying on the bed, with Chu Yan curled up quietly in her arms, her long hair hanging down, covering her white shoulders like winding water plants.

The two were covered with lake-blue brocade quilts. He looked at them for a while, then suddenly smiled and asked her in a low voice, "When will the quilt be changed?"

Chu Yan froze for a moment, then looked up at him blankly, her lips were bright red, and the charm and charm that had not yet faded on her face, "Change the quilt? What kind of quilt?"

Gu Qi couldn't help but lowered his head to kiss her, and looked at her with a smile, "They are already mine, when will they be covered with a big red brocade quilt?"

Chu Yan blushed, as if he had suddenly realized what he was implying, and immediately lowered his head and muttered, "Who is yours? Who is it that asked me never to appear in front of you again? The red brocade quilt, don't let me I thank God for the cold quilt..."

She murmured a lot of complaints, and the more she spoke, the lower her voice was, as if someone had wronged her.

Gu Qi laughed, "So you've learned how to push yourself?"

Only then did Chu Yan raise her head. Was there any trace of complaint on her face?She was full of uncontrollable smiles, and her eyes were sparkling. She leaned forward and kissed him on the lips, and then said, "Your Highness must be willing to pamper me, so that I dare to push forward."

She was so happy, her smile was not mixed with anything else, and her dark eyes shone like ice and snow in winter, making people unable to look away.

Gu Qi stretched out his hand to stroke her long hair, closed his eyes and did not speak.

The tangles on his fingers are obviously her black hair, but he feels that his heart seems to be wrapped tightly by some kind of delicate and indistinguishable feelings, but he doesn't feel bored, but enjoys it.

This mood was almost involuntary, but he was more relaxed and satisfied than ever before.

Later, Wanxi outside couldn't bear it anymore, so she knocked lightly on the door, "Your Highness, it's time for lunch."

Unexpectedly, just as the words fell, the people inside suddenly pushed open the door, and saw His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess appearing at the door neatly dressed, but the Prince stretched out his hand to gently caress the Crown Princess, and walked out even more. It made her focus on herself.

"Let's go." He said to Wanxi lightly.

Wan Xi was taken aback, not quite understanding what was wrong with the Crown Princess, but after thinking about it, her face immediately became colorful.

Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince is too physically strong to torture the Crown Princess enough, so...

Gu Qi stopped abruptly, turned his head to glance at Wanxi's wonderful face, and said calmly, "Go to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor, the princess' knee just fell, and she can't bear to walk." .”

Wanxi was shocked again.

It was so intense that it broke your knees?This, this, this...

Gu Qi has been with him for so many years, how could Gu Qi not know what the emotion in his eyes represents?

Immediately, his face darkened, and he couldn't bear it and said, "Why don't you go soon?"

This old guy is getting more and more associative.

But when he thought of the charming scene in the room just now... Gu Qi's face also turned slightly red.

Naturally, the lunch was enjoyed happily, and the people in the imperial dining room followed the order of the prince and cooked a table of good dishes. Instead of the previous bland health preservation, the table was full of big fish and meat.

Chu Yan was startled, then raised her head to look at Gu Qi, his eyes were quiet and gentle, without any difference, obviously it was arranged by Zhang Luo.

Thinking about it, she guessed that this was probably the reason why the prince came back so early, thinking that she was recovering from a serious illness, so she came back early and wanted to have a good steaming meal with her.

Unexpectedly, when he came back, he didn't have a good meal, but he was greeted with a meal of injustice and scolding.

She really felt a little guilty this time, and decided to repay His Highness the Prince's kindness, so... So she put aside her worries and ate a big meal. The appearance and amount of food was so amazing that the Prince was a little stunned.

...It must be that she really hasn't eaten well these days. Looking at the way she eats, he can't help but wonder if she has been hungry for so many days before she can kill so much.

After the imperial doctor came, he carried the medicine box and took a closer look for Chu Yan, saying that the knock was too heavy and his muscles were damaged, but luckily no bones were injured.It's just that I have to walk less these days, and try to avoid going out if I can.

Chu Yan was so resentful, she would have known that she would not kneel so hard just now, no matter how she pretended, it would be better than her current fate.

The illness was cured, and he was able to get out of bed and walk, but now he is cured, and he has to continue to be bored in this palace.

Gu Qi originally wanted to take her out for a walk while the weather was good, but now that he was worried about her knees, he had no choice but to give up.

Seeing Chu Yan's disappointed look, he suddenly remembered an incident mentioned by the Queen Mother a few days ago, saying that a famous actor from Bashu had come to the capital, and the King of Qi had listened to it a few times and thought it was quite interesting, so he paid a lot of money to take the actor to the capital. Several actors were dedicated to the Empress Dowager, and asked them to stay in the music hall in the palace so that the Empress Dowager could listen to music in her spare time.

He glanced at Chu Yan again, and then said to Chen Xiang, "You go to Shouyan Palace and ask the Queen Mother, just say that I want to invite the actors that King Qi sent her to sing at Yong'an Palace, I don't know what her old man would like. "

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Wanxi, "Send someone to Qinglefang, and invite those people here."

It is said to ask the queen mother, but in fact it is just to inform him. It stands to reason that he is the prince, who in the palace would dare not obey?But he always pays attention to etiquette, so he specially asked Chen Xiang to talk to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother is resting in Shouyan Palace, the sun is good today, she was thinking about going out for a walk in the afternoon, when Qing He came in and said that Chen Xiang from Yong'an Palace asked to see her.

"Let her in."

The prince seldom sent people to Shouyan Palace, the queen mother was a little surprised, she didn't know why the grand lady in front of him came in person.

After Chen Xiang explained the reason for her visit, the Queen Mother was even more surprised, "His Royal Highness, are you interested in watching operas and listening to music? ... Either way, this child is busy with political affairs all day long, and he doesn't know how to rest. The Ai family is also worried about him." My body can't take it anymore, now that I have free time to listen to music and watch plays, it is naturally the best."

She waved her hand, and readily agreed to Chen Xiang, "His Royal Highness wants to listen to the music, just ask someone to go, why is there a need to ask Aijia for instructions?"

Chen Xiang is very good at talking, and she smiles cutely, "His Royal Highness always respects the Empress Dowager. Naturally, I have to ask your opinion about these matters before proceeding."

The Queen Mother listened pleasingly, and signaled Qing He to give Chen Xiang some broken silver, and said with a smile, "You are also a sensible person. You have been serving the Crown Prince all these years, and the Ai Family doesn't worry about it."

Chen Xiang's heart moved, he looked up at the queen mother, and the queen mother smiled very kindly, as if she was really just praising her for taking care of the prince with all her heart.

The Empress Dowager did not sit in this seat from the very beginning. When Concubine Rong Huanggui was still the court lady in front of the emperor, Empress Dowager Dou was still in power, and the Empress Dowager in front of her was just a concubine.

It's just that the concubine bet on the right treasure, not only sent the noble concubine Rong Huang to the emperor, but also tossed and turned to expose the fact that the empress dowager Dou had killed the emperor's biological mother, Ling concubine.

Later, Empress Dowager Dou was sent to Jingyun Temple by the emperor to "recover her illness", and the concubine Toffee also ascended the position of empress dowager.

Now that the emperor has left the palace, the relationship between Gu Qi and the queen mother is only limited to name, but in fact there is no affection at all.And Zhao Ronghua is the birth mother of the crown prince, and was supported by the queen mother Dou in the past. If the crown prince ascends the throne in the future and Zhao Ronghua takes advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the position of queen mother, will he be able to do well as the queen mother?

The queen mother naturally has her own concerns.

Chen Xiang had some guesses vaguely, so he boldly said, "This servant knows that the Empress Dowager cares about the crown prince, if there is any order in the future, this servant will definitely do it for the empress and relieve her worries."

Sure enough, he was a smart person, the queen mother smiled, and said meaningfully, "In this way, the old lady of the Ai family will be able to spend her old age in peace."

In just a few words, the thoughts of both of them can be seen.

The queen mother is making plans for her old age, but Chen Xiang... I am afraid deep down in her heart she does not want to be a court lady who keeps her own life forever.

That's natural, with the precedent of Concubine Rong flying up a branch and turning into a phoenix overnight, who in the palace's female family has not had such a beautiful idea?
Such a high-ranking person as the emperor can actually abandon the three thousand beauties in the harem for a woman, and treat her wholeheartedly from then on, and now he even takes his wife and children to the south of the Yangtze River, living a life that only envies mandarin ducks but not immortals. It's too attractive, as unreal as the plot in a playbook.

Now His Highness the Crown Prince is also a dragon and phoenix among people, who knows if he will be an infatuated like his father?All in all, there are too many people who are delusional.

And there is no doubt that Chen Xiang is one of them.

The queen mother looked at the slender figure who stepped out of the palace gate, and raised the corners of her lips thoughtfully.

It was just a little probing today, but she has already shown her heart. Obviously, she has had the idea of ​​flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix for more than a day or two.

That's right, she has served the prince for so many years, even if there is no love between men and women, at least she has the love of master and servant.

If it is used, maybe it can really work, the queen mother smiled, after all, she was the one who pushed the imperial concubine Rong to the top, so she still has a certain degree of accuracy in judging people.
