The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 97 097 Centrifugation (first update)

After Chu Qianchen finished speaking, he left, and this time, he never stayed again.

Chu Qianhuang stared at Chu Qianchen in shock.

She felt as if she had never known Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianhuang was stunned for a moment, then leaned over to help Chu Yunyi up from the ground, and asked with concern: "Brother Yi, are you okay?"

While speaking, she couldn't help but look at Chu Qianchen's back.

Chu Yunyi was also looking at Chu Qianchen. He had often fought with teenagers of the same age throughout his life, but he had never lost. This was the first time that he was knocked over gently and skillfully by someone. Girl’s house! If this matter were told, he would never have the face to see anyone again!

Chu Yunyi took a breath of air. His arms couldn't be used now and his back hurt. Today was really embarrassing.

Second sister, how did she do it? !

Chu Yunyi felt as if there was a feather tickling his heart when he heard Chu Qianhuang say again: "Brother Yi, your robe is dirty. Go back to Qingfeng Pavilion and change it first."

"Brother Yi, don't be angry with your second sister. She probably had some misunderstandings with your aunt these days, so..."

"Let's go see Qin..."

Chu Qianhuang's comforting words to Chu Yunyi from behind also reached Chu Qianchen's ears. Chu Qianchen did not stop and walked farther and farther away, and the words behind him could not be heard clearly.

After returning to Wanyan Courtyard, Chu Qianchen went out to the blacksmith shop. The first knife had already been forged in rudimentary shape. She discussed it with the blacksmith again and supervised the work for a long time before returning to Hou. Mansion.

The Hou Mansion has been in chaos recently, and naturally no one has made a special trip to take care of Chu Yunyi.

After Chu Qianchen said hello, he came back early to rest, and was only awakened by Amber when the rooster crowed.

The process of entering the palace was cumbersome, and it was time to go out at the beginning of the month. Amber thought that this was the first time for her girl to enter the palace, and she was panicking. She tried to make everything perfect, from clothes to jewelry, she had chosen and matched them in advance yesterday.

Chu Qianchen was tossing about the amber. Although she felt that entering the palace was no big deal, she also knew that she couldn't be too shabby today, otherwise outsiders would inevitably say that Shen was treating the concubine harshly.

After dressing up for nearly half an hour, Chu Qianchen came out of Wanyan Courtyard. The time was just right, the carriage left the door at the beginning of the month.

Along the way, Mrs. Shen was telling the two girls about the rules and precautions in the palace. In fact, the three of them knew very well that Ms. Shen’s words were specifically meant for Chu Qianchen to hear. After all, Chu Qianhuang himself He has not been in the palace since he was a child, and he had been the companion of the three princesses before. Among the three, Chu Qianchen was the only one who entered the palace for the first time.

Chu Qianchen knew Shen's thoughts and always acted accordingly.

In fact, this is not the first time she has entered the palace. In her previous life, after Qin Yao captured the capital, she also entered the palace with the army. However, the palace at that time had just experienced the devastation of the war and the tiles were broken. It was devastated, and even though all the corpses had been cleared away, there was still a vague smell of blood in the air.

It is no longer the splendid, solemn and majestic look it is now.

Chu Qianchen looked at this strange yet somewhat familiar palace, not only without awe, but with a sense of detachment and indifference.

Mrs. Shen thought Chu Qianchen was nervous, so when she walked outside Concubine Chu's Zhongcui Palace, she gave her a comforting look.

Chu Qianhuang smiled softly, with a calm and generous expression, and said in a low voice: "Second sister, don't be nervous, the imperial concubine is very kind."

The young chamberlain had already gone in to report. After a while, a palace maid welcomed the three of them in and led them to the East Side Hall.

The Zhongcui Palace is naturally magnificent and magnificent, and the air exudes an elegant fragrance of incense.

"See the Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Chu is sitting on a rosewood arhat bed, wearing an alchemy-colored peony-carved silk jacket and a brilliant nine-died and four-phoenix crown.

She is as beautiful as a pear blossom under the moon, with a pair of beautifully shaped red and phoenix eyes under her thin willow-leaf eyebrows. She is dignified, gentle, elegant and restrained.

"No courtesy." Concubine Chu showed a gentle smile, raised her hand, and her eyes fell on Chu Qianhuang with concern, looking up and down at her, "Sister Huang, are you okay?"

Previously, Mrs. Shen used the excuse that Chu Qianhuang was unwell to recommend that the princess accompany her to read for her. Even Concubine Chu was well aware of this, but she still did enough on the surface.

"Thank you, my aunt, for your care." Chu Qianhuang blessed her gracefully, "My niece has been fully taken care of."

"That's good." Concubine Chu sighed, smiling slightly, "Please sit down."

Several palace maids moved three chairs, and the three Shens sat down. Other palace maids served them tea in an orderly manner.

Concubine Chu took a sip of tea gracefully and asked Shen who was standing next to her with concern: "Brother and sister, how is Ah Xiao's injury?"

Mrs. Shen replied: "Mother, my mother invited many famous doctors who are good at orthopedics to examine Mr. Hou, but the result is still not good. It will take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones. Mr. Hou's leg will need to be recuperated for at least three months." And it’s hard to get back to the original state after recovery.”

This means that Chu Lingxiao is bound to be lame.

Her expression was calm, neither sad nor gloating, she just stated impartially.

Concubine Chu frowned slightly and continued worriedly: "Brothers and sisters, I heard that there is a miraculous doctor in Jishi Hall who is very skilled in medical treatment. The face of Hui'an County Lord was cured by that miraculous doctor. Can you ask your sister to come forward and ask for that miraculous doctor?" Show it to Ah Xiao?”

Mrs. Shen sighed, "A few days ago, my third sister came to the Hou Mansion. She only went to Jishi Hall to get medicine every few days. She hasn't seen the miracle doctor for a long time."

Concubine Chu's eyebrows frowned even more tightly, her red hands that were as well maintained as mutton fat and white jade tightly grasped the handkerchief, and she felt a little worried.

Among the concubines in the harem, she was not considered favored. When Jin Shang ascended the throne, the Crown Princess was naturally the legitimate Queen, and she was awarded the title of Imperial Concubine, partly because she gave birth to the second prince, and partly because the Queen felt that she was sensible enough and used her to suppress Concubine Han Shu, who was favored at that time.

She is already thirty-three years old this year, and she is not young. The emperor has not been to her for a long time. Moreover, in the past few years, the emperor has been obsessed with Taoism and has neglected his concubines in the harem.

She was not favored to begin with. If her mother's family fell into decline, even the concubines and powerful palace servants in the palace would be able to bully her, and Concubine Han Shu would also be hurt. Hey, she had finally found a job for Ah Xiao as the flag-bearer guard, hoping that he would be able to take the position of commander of the flag-bearer guard this year. Unexpectedly, her dream was shattered and all her previous efforts were in vain.

Ah Xiao not only broke his leg, but also lost his errand. So, what hope does the Chu family have in the future, with an empty title but no real power?

Concubine Chu's heart was filled with an undercurrent, her knuckles were stiff, and her thoughts were moving rapidly.

A Xiao's leg can be healed slowly. There are many talented people in this world, but she doesn't believe that his leg injury can't be healed.

The problem now is that the flag-bearer's job is waiting for no one. If he doesn't keep his job as soon as possible, everything will be too late when someone else takes over.

Concubine Chu's eyes flashed and she sighed: "Axiao has been high-spirited since he was a child. I am afraid that he will be hit repeatedly, become depressed, and give up on himself, which will not be conducive to his recovery."

"Brother and sister, I know that you have always been knowledgeable, virtuous and capable. This time, I have to ask you to persuade A Xiao more often and accommodate him. You are husband and wife. When A Xiao recovers from his injury in the future, you will definitely remember it. Your love."

Concubine Chu said euphemistically, but she actually wanted Shen to "understand the general situation" and take the initiative to go back to her parents' home to find Duke Mu to open up connections, so that she could at least keep Chu Lingxiao's job.

It was Shen who took the initiative to propose it. In this way, she would not be considered as owing a favor to the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Shen understood, but just pretended not to understand, and said perfunctory words such as "The Marquis is more energetic" and "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."

Concubine Chu's graceful and gentle face froze for a moment. She was angry and annoyed, but she couldn't save the dignity to ask for help from Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen lowered his eyes and picked up the tea cup. As if he didn't see it, there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes, and he thought: These siblings are both the same. They always beat around the bush when they want to ask for help, and they have to make others ask for them. Similar.

Thinking of her daughter Chu Qianhuang again, Shen's heart became even more complicated: she finally understood why her daughter was raised crookedly. With a father like Chu Lingxiao, it was inevitable that she would be influenced by her... This person is difficult to learn well, but it is hard to learn bad things. It couldn't be simpler.

Concubine Chu had been in the palace for so many years. Even if she was dissatisfied with Mrs. Shen, she did not lose her composure. She soon returned to normal and awkwardly changed the topic.

"Are you Sister Chen? We haven't seen each other for a few years. You have grown up..."

Concubine Chu looked at Chu Qianchen with scrutiny and emotion in her eyes.

The thirteen-year-old girl's face still has a childish look. She wears a double bun with three thousand green silk hair. She wears gold silk inlaid with precious stones, white jade hollow double luan and peony, which makes her skin as white as frost and snow and as creamy. Delicate, bright eyes, white teeth, slender eyebrows and red lips.

The little girl has a bright face and a natural beauty.

No wonder Zhaoer can't forget this cousin...

Concubine Chu thought, her face expressionless.

The entrance to the palace was as deep as the sea. She had never left the palace since the emperor ascended the throne. It had been several years since she had seen Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen bowed and simply said yes.

"Sister Chen, what do you like to do in your daily life?" Concubine Chu seemed to ask kindly, but in fact there was alienation hidden in her eyes.

She didn't like Chu Qianchen, but Gu Nanzhao liked Chu Qianchen. For this reason, he begged himself many times: "Mother concubine, cousin Chen doesn't want to be a concubine. I want to marry her as the main concubine."

For Chu Qianchen, her son knelt down and begged her. Concubine Chu didn't want to be separated from her son. She had no choice but to comfort her son and said that she had to think about it.

She specifically asked Shen to bring Chu Qianchen into the palace today, and she also made it for her son to see.

"Back to you, Madam, I like to read story books." Chu Qianchen said seriously.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shen's eyes flashed with a smile, and the hand holding the tea cup paused in mid-air.

"..." The smile on Concubine Chu's lips faded slightly, sighing secretly that this girl really couldn't get on the stage.

Concubine Chu patiently continued: "Little girl, I usually read a story book to relieve my boredom. You like reading, I guess you have a quiet personality..."

Mrs. Shen sipped the hot tea, and she knew Concubine Chu's intentions very clearly in her heart. Moreover, Sister Chen must have noticed it, so naturally she didn't need to say anything.

From Shen's point of view, letting Chu Qianchen be the second prince's concubine, let alone the main concubine, would be an injustice to this girl.

Concubine Chu didn't know what Shen was thinking, so she asked the next question in a condescending manner: "How do you learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Chu Qianchen replied again: "I studied with my husband for three years in the boudoir school, and I just dabbled a little."

In her previous life, she also wanted to study in the boudoir school for a few more years, but Aunt Jiang said that the girl should not learn too much about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but should work more on female beauty, so she stopped going to the boudoir school. After her rebirth, she had so many things to do every day, and she had no time to waste time going to boudoir school.

Concubine Chu's contempt for Chu Qianchen only increased. The so-called "slightly dabbled" means that she has learned everything and is not good at anything. Besides, what can be learned in just three years? Chu Qianchen’s piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is just an introduction at best.

At this time, Chu Qianhuang said with a smile: "Auntie, my mother has recently begun to teach me and my second sister how to manage the house."

She seemed to be afraid that the situation would be too embarrassing, so she spoke out to lighten the atmosphere.

Concubine Chu raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

It's not unusual for Shen to teach Chu Qianhuang how to be a housekeeper, but Chu Qianchen also taught him... Learning how to be a housekeeper is something that only a married woman needs to learn.

This girl Chu Qianchen is really high-minded. She is probably doing it deliberately to show Zhao'er when she pesters Shen to become a housekeeper. She thinks very highly of herself when she keeps saying that she is not a concubine.

Humph, she was still the eldest daughter of the Hou family, but back then she had entered the Prince's East Palace as a concubine. Chu Qianchen, a mere concubine, had to hang on to the prince. She was simply too ambitious and too weak!
