Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 61

Before it was dark, Gu Qi went back to Yong'an Palace.

Ever since he got married, he never came back until night fell as before, because there would always be a disobedient and stubborn girl in the main hall who would sit there hungry and wait until he vowed not to eat.

Chu Yan still picked up food for him with a smile as usual, these few days of getting along was enough for her to get familiar with his favorite dishes, and every chopstick caught Gu Qi's heart.

Although she never asked him which one he likes to eat and which one he doesn't like, and he never told her about it, every time Gu Qi eats something, when he looks up, he can always see Chu Yan looking at him seriously, He also understood that she was analyzing the expression on his face, and thus judged his preferences.

This time there was a new dish on the table, Gu Qi tasted some, then raised his head to meet her gaze again.

Gu Qi noticed that the things in her bowl had barely moved, finally sighed helplessly, stretched out his chopsticks and knocked on her bowl, "Why don't you eat?"

From the slightly raised corners of his mouth, Chu Yan could tell how satisfied he was with the dish, so she also curled up the corners of her lips, "I'm about to eat."

After speaking, he buried his head and ate a root of green vegetables.

Gu Qi stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a dish, and the person who just buried his head quickly raised his head again, looking at him expectantly.

Gu Qi sighed, put down his chopsticks, turned sideways and looked at her steadily, "Chu Yan, eat well."

Chu Yan blushed, and took a few mouthfuls of rice indiscriminately. After swallowing it with difficulty, she mumbled, "It's pretty good."

Gu Qi was annoyed and funny, picked up his chopsticks again, and pointed at the pigeon farthest away from him, "In early summer, the pigeon is a bit greasy, and it's okay to eat a little bit, but if you eat it twice in three days, you'll get tired of it. "

Then, the chopsticks pointed to the plate of Kung Pao Chicken, "This is very suitable for my taste, as long as it is not too spicy, it doesn't matter if you eat it often."

The next dish is emerald steamed eggs. "It's okay to eat this for lunch, but I want to eat something with a stronger taste when I come back at night, so this dish can be served at noon from now on."

He patiently analyzed the dishes on the table one by one. So many dishes were actually evaluated by him. Then he turned his head and looked at Chu Yan who was stunned there, his eyes full of helplessness, "Now I know, can I have a good meal?"

After finishing speaking, he put some Kung Pao Chicken that he liked very much into Chu Yan's bowl.

Chu Yan didn't even say a word, and slowly lowered her head to take a bite of the rice. She ate the chicken, and the familiar spicy taste filled her mouth, but after a while, she raised her head and looked at him without taste , shouted in a low voice, "Your Highness..."

There was a little grievance in the voice, and there seemed to be water in the bright eyes.

Gu Qi laughed, "What are you doing with this look? I didn't blame you, why do you seem to be bullied by me?"

Chu Yan put down the bowl, looked down at the contents of the bowl, and said for a long time, "I have been in the palace for nearly ten years, but it has only been a few months since I entered Yong'an Palace. I don't know that His Highness likes to eat What, what do I like to do on weekdays, and I don’t know what His Highness likes in this world. In these respects, I can’t even compare to the servants who serve His Highness, but I am still in the position of Crown Princess..."

Gu Qi was stunned, and then watched her raise her head and look at him steadily, "I just hope that I will be more careful, so that I can make up for everything that belongs to Your Highness that I missed in the past ten years."

Gu Qi's dazed look was reflected in her eyes, he saw himself sitting there dumbly, he didn't know what to respond for a moment.

He knew early in the morning that she was observing his favorites every time he ate, but after she said it today, he finally realized that it was not just when eating, she was carefully adapting to and exploring everything about him all the time.

Such dedication made Gu Qi suddenly at a loss for what to do.

He laughed, stretched out his hand and pulled her in front of him, then pinched her nose, "Silly boy."

Gu Qi knew well that in fact, she was not only not stupid, but she was ridiculously smart, but the smarter a person is, the more foolish he is in love, the more tempting and addictive he will be.

He took her hand and smiled slightly, "If you want to know anything from now on, just ask me directly, you don't need to obliquely observe like this."

"But you are very busy..." She accuses him aggrievedly, "I was away from Yong'an Palace for most of the day, and I finally came back, and I have other government affairs to deal with, how dare I bother you?"

Looking at her slightly pursed red lips, Gu Qi couldn't help but leaned over to steal some incense, "You are specially approved to wait on me while I handle government affairs, and you can ask any questions, is this okay?"

Chu Yan blushed, and secretly glanced at the servants standing in the hall, although they all lowered their heads consciously, looking at their hearts, but she still covered her mouth and muttered in a low voice, " Everyone is here."

Gu Qi laughed out loud, pulled Chu Yan to sit down, and began to pick up vegetables for her.

"From now on, eat well."

She smiled at him obediently, "OK."

Looks like a good baby.

Chu Yan finally put her head down and began to eat seriously, but the eyes that were full of emotion a moment ago now only had rational and sober thinking.

Her strategy of attacking the heart has caught the prince's heart bit by bit, but the man who dotes on her like this is a gentle and devoted husband in this Yong'an Palace, but when he is in the court, he turns back to that deep-minded man. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, while treating her so affectionately, started to plan for the draft.

Should he be said to be cruel or to distinguish between public and private?
On the other side, Gu Qi's eyes also slowly cooled down, and an impenetrable mist slowly surged up.

He watched Chu Yan eat obediently and earnestly like this, but it seemed that Qin Yuanshan and Xiao Che's proposal on the draft matter echoed in his ears-it was made by them in the imperial study a few days ago Bureau, he himself nodded and accepted the plan.

But now, seeing the woman in front of him wholeheartedly taking care of his every emotion, that kind of peace of mind and steadfastness that he didn't know at all suddenly gave him a sense of guilt.

If she knew that she was going to be drafted and took the opportunity to marry other women into the harem, would she still be in such a peaceful and sweet appearance?

Gu Qi suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Zhao Wu's glorious days in the court continued, and almost everyone believed that in the contest between the Zhao family and the Mu family, the outcome had already been decided - Mu Qingzhuo had already lost completely.

Chu Yan heard from Chongshan Pass that Zhao Wu was the only one in the court for several days, and her heart became heavier day by day.

The reason why the prince indulged Zhao Wu's splendor today was probably because he already had a way to coerce the Zhao family, and the faster Zhao Wu's status rose, the sooner the day when the prince would act would come sooner.

... But what if Zhao Wu just stopped, willing to share equal shares with Mu Qingzhuo?

What if he stopped fighting and was willing to maintain the status quo no matter the cost?So is it necessary for the prince to give the Mu family a sweetheart?

Chu Yan suddenly lowered her gaze.

It seems that she needs to talk to her grandfather.

After the prince came back that night, Chu Yan mentioned this matter during dinner.

"Grandfather has been in poor health since he came back from Xijiang, but I didn't go back to visit him because of my wedding, and now I'm free, so I thought..." She paused for a while, and gently pulled his hand hand, "Can I go back and see him?"

Gu Qi raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were full of hope, and she shook his arm flatteringly, still looking like a child.

He smiled softly and scratched her nose, "Zuza. It was because I didn't think carefully and ignored your worry about your grandfather. I will ask Wanxi to talk to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a while, and I will prepare tonight , so that you can go back and have a look tomorrow.”

Although Chu Yan expected early in the morning that he would feel a little guilty because he kept the draft from her, and might want to make up for her and try to satisfy her request, she never expected that he would get his approval with just a few words.

She embraced his neck with a smile on her face, "Your Highness is the best!"

Seeing her beaming face, Gu Qi couldn't help but support her forehead.

Where did that calm, intelligent woman go?Why do I always look like a little girl who can't grow up now?
But when he saw her smiling unscrupulously, he felt that her whole body was full of light that couldn't be concealed, dazzling and beautiful.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little apprehensive, not daring to think about whether she would always maintain such happiness in the future.

The next morning, Chu Yan got up early.

It was the first time for the Crown Princess to return home after her wedding. Hanzhi and Dongyi were particularly concerned. They went to the storeroom to fetch some expensive jewelry, and chattered endlessly about what to wear.

Hanzhi thinks that since she is a princess, she should dress dignifiedly.

Dong Yi disagreed, thinking that since this is going back to her mother's house, she should be more simple and keep everything simple, lest people in the house think that the master is putting on airs and the married daughter is throwing water.

Chu Yan laughed, but when she thought that she knew almost nothing about the Zhao family's situation, she lost her mind for a moment.

She entered the palace within a few days of time travel, so she didn't know much about the big family in Zhao's residence, let alone how the real Zhao Chuyan lived in Zhao's residence and whether she made enemies.

To be on the safe side, she agreed with Hanzhi's opinion, "Since you are married into the palace, you should be more dignified and grand. After all, I represent His Royal Highness, not just the daughter of the Zhao family."

She put on a crimson red embroidered pleated skirt, earrings and a necklace with a set of garnet red agate, and finally her red lips were light, looking radiant but elegant.

When stepping out of Yong'an Palace, the carriage was already waiting outside.

Chu Yan raised her head and looked at the clouds in the distance glowing with the morning sun, and she was a little amused by her mood at this moment.

That was her home, but she only had a few encounters with her parents.

She was a six-year-old girl when she left home, and she was able to go back and visit several times a year after that, and the communication with them was limited to the following sentences:
"Good boy, you have to listen to your aunt in the palace, you know?"

"Look at you, you've lost a lot of weight. Are you too reserved in the palace and don't eat well?"

"Okay, go back quickly, don't let your parents worry about you, you know?"

Every year it is these few words, she hurried back, had lunch and then rushed back to the palace, and because the people of the Zhao family knew that she was going back, the whole family sat there, always as boring as a routine.

Chu Yan raised her eyebrows suddenly, she didn't release any news today, and she was about to return to the Zhao Mansion without warning, what kind of scene would she see?
Of course, she never guessed that the scene she saw next would really surprise her.

Big, "surprise".
