Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 50

Several people stood in the yard, and no one spoke for a while.

Qingyang treated Chu Yan with a tit-for-tat look when she was young, as if Chu Yan owed her millions in her previous life. Seeing Chu Yan always seemed to be beaten, and she had to provoke her to feel comfortable.

Chu Yan didn't want to stay here longer. After all, although she used the crown prince as an excuse, she stayed here all the time. If there were too many people, it seemed that she would always gossip.

She walked towards the hall without looking sideways, and when she passed by Chu Yan, she said with a smile, "If the princess has something to say to the prince and Lord Xiao, please feel free, I will go first."

Qingyang hit the cotton again with his fist, but the opponent didn't feel any pain, and still looked superior.

She said to Shen Xin angrily, "Look at the princess, when we didn't come, we were still chatting with people, but when we came, she ran faster than anyone else, because she was afraid that we would open our mouths and mess around. Say, can it be passed to the ears of His Highness the Crown Prince?"

It was Shen Xin who came up with the idea to have Qing Yang come out to take a look. He originally thought that Chu Yan would bump into Concubine Mu, but Shen Xin just wanted to see how someone with the temperament of Concubine Mu would treat Chu Yan. Such a scene.

Now she is just a young lady from an aristocratic family who can't even enter the palace. Unlike Qingyang, she still has the capital to squander. If she makes a mistake, there will always be the Eldest Princess who can help solve it.

Shen Xin said softly, "The Princess is too worried. Since His Royal Highness has said that she is delivering a message for His Royal Highness, now that she has finished speaking, it is natural to go. Let's not stay here all the time. It's Mrs. Mu's birthday, so hurry up and go back to the hall."

Chu Yan smiled when she heard the words, this Shen Xin is still "pure and kind" as always.

She turned her head and glanced at Shen Xin with a half-smile, and then said to Qingyang unhurriedly, "Since the princess is on good terms with Miss Shen, I'm afraid you should learn from Miss Shen in some areas, such as the cultivation of bearing, and then For example, the scheming city. When you see something, you can know it in your heart. If you have an attack on the spot, it will make people immediately alert. If you really have any plans, you'd better swallow everything you see and dig it out when it comes in handy one day. , otherwise...but he will be used as a gun."

Not to mention that she didn't remind Qingyang, according to Qingyang's temperament, it's okay to be a little presumptuous, after all, the eldest princess is here, and she will take care of the aftermath for her.But if he mixes with someone like Shen Xin who has countless eyes, he may be used as a spearman without knowing it, and he will make a big mistake sooner or later.

Just looking at Shen Xin's willingness to swallow his breath and follow beside this thorny princess, and her appearance of sisterly love, Chu Yan can tell that she has ulterior motives.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xin is really not a simple person. When Chu Yan said so clearly and alluded to her, she didn't change her face, just pretending that she didn't understand what she meant, and smiled slightly, "His Royal Highness, the concubine, praised me absurdly. If you grew up in the palace, naturally you cannot compare to Your Highness in terms of bearing and cultivation."

Chu Yan smiled lightly, and stopped talking at the moment, no matter what Qingyang muttered behind her, she just turned around and walked to the hall calmly, ignoring the two of them.

The hall was still babbling and singing, but the attention of the people present was not as concentrated as before. Without Concubine Mu and her two big Buddha statues, everyone relaxed a lot, chatting while eating melon seeds.

After Chu Yan was seated, Madam Mu turned her head and asked her with concern if her chest was still constricted, and she wanted to ask the doctor in the house to take a look.

She shook her head with a smile, "It's much better to go out for a walk. I'm really sorry to make Mrs. Mu worry."

Watching a play for an afternoon, this kind of thing can only be done by ancient women, who can endure loneliness.

Chu Yan looked at it for a while, then turned her head and talked softly to Feng Jingshu, "Who are here today? I only know a few of you here, and the rest are very familiar."

Feng Jingshu then introduced her one by one. Unlike her, Chu Yan lived outside the palace. She had dealt with ladies from aristocratic families and court ladies for a long time, and she was familiar with these people.

After this introduction, Chu Yan knew that there were two young ladies in the Mu family, Mu Nianqiu was the eldest daughter, and the one sitting next to her was the second young lady.

All in all, the trip out of the palace was not as pleasant as Chu Yan imagined, it was even more reserved than in the palace.

Concubine Mu Gui never showed up again, and at the dinner party, she also claimed that she was ill and did not come out again.

After the dinner, it was time to break up, Chu Yan was concerned to go to see how Concubine Mu was doing, but after the servant girl went to report, she came back and said that Concubine Mu was asleep, so it is inconvenient to disturb her, and she hoped she would forgive her.

Mrs. Mu smoothed things over, saying that Concubine Mu Guifei was not in good spirits recently, and she had to ask the imperial doctor to take a good look after returning to the palace.

Before stepping into the carriage, Chu Yan turned her head and smiled at Mrs. Mu and Mu Nianqiu who were seeing them off all the way, "After returning to the palace, I will definitely talk to His Highness the Crown Prince about this matter, so that the imperial concubine will get better soon, so His Highness won't be worried."

Mrs. Mu leaned over to express her gratitude. Mu Nianqiu did not speak, but followed her with a slight bow. His attitude was respectful and polite from the beginning to the end, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Chu Yan's eyes lingered on her pretty face for a moment, and finally she praised, "Ms. Mu is not only good-looking, but also has a generous and decent manner of speaking. This calmness alone has already won the first place among the young ladies in the capital. Yes. The Mu family has such a good girl, and Mrs. Mu has contributed a lot."

Mu Nianqiu smiled gently, looked at Chu Yan with clear eyes, and said calmly, "I have long heard that Her Royal Highness is beautiful and beautiful, and I have seen it with my own eyes today, so I know what it means to see once. In front of him, how can Nianqiu deserve this praise?"

Chu Yan smiled, "Miss Mu, you don't have to be humble. I can't learn your temperament. After all, you are born with a strong character. If others learn it, it's just a mere imitation."

She nodded to Mrs. Mu for the last time, put down the curtain, and said, "Go back to the palace."

After the carriage drove for a while, Chu Yan smiled, "The two young ladies from the Mu family are here today, but obviously only Mu Nianqiu is valued. As for the second young lady from the Mu family, she has almost no sense of existence."

Feng Jingshu thought for a while, and then said, "Miss Mu's family really has a certain amount of advances and retreats, and her demeanor is very different. Presumably because of the difference between the concubine and concubine, the focus of the Mu family's training is naturally different."

So Chu Yan thought of the girl sitting on Mu Nianqiu's left. She was obviously more beautiful than Mu Nianqiu, but she always looked a bit eclipsed when she was with Mu Nianqiu.

Because of her temperament, as long as Mu Nianqiu just sits there, she is like a timeless ink painting, and her gestures and gestures have a certain style.

Chu Yan smiled and sighed, "Looking at this, Mu Qingzhuo is probably counting on Mu Nianqiu to make a big difference."

Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so much effort to train her in such a direction, gentle and generous, with a certain amount of advance and retreat.

This is simply the standard version of a queen.

Feng Jingshu suddenly smiled, and looked at Chu Yan from the corner of her eyes, "Your Highness is a little worried?"

Chu Yan thought to herself that she was really smart, so she could see what she meant, so she raised her eyebrows, "I'm not worried, she has her own advantages, but it doesn't mean I will lose to her."

There is a bit of confidence in the words.

Feng Jingshu looked at her and said sincerely, "Your Highness is very good. Although it is not as good as Miss Mu's who can't find any faults in everything, but people in high positions don't necessarily have to abide by etiquette in everything. It seems that Only in this way, Your Highness, can people have the desire to be close."

If it is true that nothing will go wrong and you will always be as stable as Mount Tai, I am afraid that the first person who fears you will be the person next to you.

Moreover, from ancient times to the present, no emperor has ever been seen to get close to a woman who is so stable that it is almost rigid. This kind of etiquette and upbringing that has been cultivated since childhood has actually become a kind of imprisonment and limitation, making it difficult to get close and alienated.

Chu Yan praised leisurely, "Those who know me, there is no one who is quiet and comfortable."

The ideas coincided with each other, and they were really good comrades made in heaven.

Chu Yan sent Feng Jingshu outside the gate of the Xiao Mansion, and then waved her hands with a smile, "I'm too bored to do anything in the palace by myself. If you are free, I hope you often come to the palace to talk with me."

Feng Jingshu nodded, "Your Highness has an order, and this concubine is determined to obey the order."

Chu Yan laughed, "If you treat me as a friend, don't be so etiquette when speaking, it sounds weird."

Finally, her eyes were clear and she whispered to Feng Jingshu, "It's very comfortable to talk to you. You don't have to hide it, and you don't have to pretend to be false. You are very good like this, and you live a leisurely life, which makes people yearn for it when they look at it."

The car curtain was closed gently, Feng Jingshu was taken aback by the swaying pattern.

She didn't expect the Crown Princess to say such words to her so sincerely. It turned out that the high-ranking people also yearned for a life like her.

This princess is indeed a bit special, with a delicate heart, but she is not as calculating as the master in the palace.

Feng Jingshu was a little distracted looking at the carriage going away, but felt that such a princess seemed to be vivid and real enough, unlike ordinary women in the palace, rigid and indifferent.

When they returned to the palace, it was already night and the moon and stars were few and far between.

The lantern at the gate of Yong'an Palace was still on, Chu Yan stepped off the carriage and rubbed her neck.

I didn't sleep well at noon, and I took a nap in the carriage when I returned to the palace just now, and now my neck is very sore.

She walked into the front yard and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the main hall - the lights had already been turned off, and Prince Yuemo had already fallen asleep.

Secretly speechless in her heart, she went to celebrate his birthday on his behalf, but he was fine and went to bed early, regardless of how she was doing outside the palace.

Sure enough, the most ruthless and unreasonable person in the world is the king.

Sighing, Chu Yan walked towards the side hall, unexpectedly just turned around, and found a person sitting at the stone table under the apricot tree in front of the side hall, playing chess leisurely by the moonlight, enjoying himself very much.

She walked over with the corners of her lips curled up, cleared her throat, and sang softly, "Oh, what kind of gentleman is this? He couldn't sleep at night, and he happened to run under the tree in front of the concubine's house. Could it be that he saw him? The branch of my concubine is red and apricot, and my heart is secretly promised?"

This move is too embarrassing, the words are messy and disorderly, and the eighteen bends of the Tiaozi Mountain Road have completely destroyed Gu Qiyue's leisurely interest in playing chess.

He helplessly put down the chess pieces held by his fingertips, and looked back at her, "You also know that it's midnight, singing such songs is creepy, what's your intention?"

Without waiting for Chu Yan to answer, he waved to her, "Come here."

Chu Yan obediently walked across to him and sat down. Looking at a game of chess on the table, she consciously picked up the white piece that was in the upper hand, "Would you like me to play chess with your Highness?"

Gu Qi laughed, "It's really self-conscious, knowing that the odds of winning are high."

Chu Yan picked up the chess piece calmly, and gently landed it on one spot, "Is it possible to make it unconsciously? I'm just half-baked, and I only want not to die too badly when I hold a white piece. If I hold a black piece, wouldn't it be within ten moves?" Doomed for sure?"

While speaking, her face was picturesque and very vivid, with a slight smile on her lips, and a gentle and comfortable expression on the corners of her brows and eyes.

She looked down at the chessboard, the moonlight cast a soft radiance on the surface, and the thick eyelashes also left a circle of gentle shadows on the eyelids.

Gu Qi noticed that her posture was elegant and beautiful, and her shiny white fingertips were like agile butterflies between the chessboards.

Playing chess with beauties is really a visual enjoyment.

Unfortunately--

It's a pity that this beauty only has a good-looking chess posture, but her chess skills are actually jaw-droppingly bad.

Gu Qi's gaze fell on the chessboard, and he couldn't help but feel amused.

What's happening here?It's a mess, and even the door of death dares to make a move without hesitation. How can this be considered half-baked?Not even half-baked.

He sighed, and after dropping a few pieces, he put down the black stones in his hand, shook his head and said with a smile, "Forget it, playing chess with you, we won't win by force."

Chu Yan raised her eyebrows, and lightly threw the chess pieces back to the pistol, and said briskly, "I said earlier that I'm half-baked. Your Highness didn't enjoy playing to the fullest. It's no fault of me."

Gu Qi glanced at her, "Are you also called half-baked? Don't insult people half-baked, and half-baked chess is much better than you."

Chu Yan clapped her hands, stood up neatly and walked towards the side hall, "Yes, His Highness hurt me like this, I'd better go, so that you can't see it and worry about it."

She walked slowly, obviously giving him time to catch up, and she muttered as she walked, "This princess is really not easy to be. After dressing up for a long time, going to the banquet and working for a long time, she finally came back , but also disgusting..."

Gu Qi was amused by her thoughts, and followed up helplessly, "If I dislike you, why should I sit here waiting for you at night?"

He took her hand under the cloak and turned her to face him.

Under the stone steps, the two stood facing each other, the distance was too close.

Chu Yan noticed that his hands were a little cold, and was taken aback, "How long have you been sitting here?"

"Sit here when the moon comes out."

She looked around first, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, she tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek while smiling, "This is a reward."

The tactile sensation left by the soft and delicate red lips on the cheeks is very strange, and the feeling that makes one's heart move is fleeting with such a short touch.

Gu Qi was not satisfied, and looked at her fixedly, "What else?"

"Anything else?" She raised her eyebrows.

"In addition to rewards, don't you think there should be compensation?" He hooked his lips and smiled maliciously, "I was waiting for you here, but you complained about it. I need compensation."

After finishing speaking, before Chu Yan could react, he quickly and decisively pulled her into his arms, bowed his head and kissed her.
