Chu Qinghuan's injury seemed to agree to a sentence that the emperor would not kill the eunuch in a hurry.
Tou Mei carefully helped her off the sedan, "Miss, Young Master Yun said that Miss's injuries will not improve in the next few days, what should we do? If the empress dowager were to return to the capital, wouldn't it be rude of you not to go to court? "
She was worried all the way, but in the end, she could not help but ask.
Chu Qinghuan smiled lightly, shook her head and said: "It's fine, it's just entering the palace, I won't do any menial work, can I still move my arm?"
Moreover, Ji Fengye should be here tonight. When he finds out about his injuries, he would definitely stop the empress dowager from getting on the throne. Three to five days were enough for her to recover.
By that time, it would already be New Year's Eve. The empress dowager probably wouldn't have specially summoned the princesses to the palace to meet them. If they delayed any longer, it would be the first of the new year.
Seeing that Chu Qinghuan was not concerned, the lady on the throne stopped talking, but just as she was about to bring the hot water out, she saw Nanny Zhao rushing in. "Second Miss, the empress dowager is returning to the capital, the emperor ordered for Miss to meet you at the Tzu Ning Palace."
Chu Qinghuan was stunned. Why did the empress dowager come back earlier this time?
Looking at the hammer-like arm that was wrapped up, Chu Qinghuan smiled bitterly: "Thrushy, find me some cotton cloth to bandage it up again." Fortunately, at that time, she had only stumbled along with the flow. The so-called fracture was not serious at all.
How could a doctor be ruthless to him?
"Miss, this …" ~ This is the medicine I just applied, from the looks of Young Master Yun, this medicine is clearly a good ointment, why did you change it just like that?
How could Chu Qinghuan not know about it?
"Forget it, let's just take this off and just wrap it up a little bit." His arm was wrapped like a dumpling, and even if he were to see her, it would be a crime to be disrespectful …
Nanny Zhao very quickly returned to her Listening Cloud Courtyard, but it was not strange at all when she saw that Chu Jinxiu was also here.
"How is her injury?"
Nanny Zhao reported truthfully: "Second Miss has fractured. Young Master Yun has already healed her bones and smeared some ointment on her. He seems to be very serious."
When Chu Jinxiu heard this, she did not speak. Suddenly, she thought of something, "Mother, I still have some matters to attend to.
Madame Song wanted to call out to Chu Jinxiu, but she did not expect that Chu Jinxiu's hurried footsteps did not turn around. She could not help but frown, "Old Mistress said she burned Chen family's corpse?"
Nanny Zhao replied, "Yes, this matter, Nanny Lin said that if you want Madam to deal with it, then Xinlan …"
"That girl, staying was already a disaster, but she died with a clear heart. Later on, I will just send fifty silver taels to her parents, but as for the Concubine Chen, since her old master has already spoken, then we will do as she says."
"Yes." She turned around and was about to leave, but then she turned back. Seeing that, the Madame Song could not help but ask: "What happened?"
The Nanny Zhao was a little hesitant, and said after a while: "This servant heard that during the new year, Old Mistress would open an ancestral hall, and let the Second Miss into the clan tree."
With a dull "peng" sound, the tea cup in Madame Song's hand directly fell onto the thick carpet, quickly soaking the surroundings.
"What!" Opening the ancestral shrine and entering the clan tree?
"Who did you hear that from!" The Madame Song's face was filled with anger, which was mixed in it. If Chu Qinghuan was standing in front of her, she would most likely tear her into pieces.
Outside of the Listening Cloud Courtyard, Chu Jinxiu's feet were in a hurry, she did not expect to run into someone, and upon seeing that handsome face, Chu Jinxiu's face immediately flushed.
"Cousin, where are you heading in such a hurry?"
Song Chengshu's smile was always indifferent, Chu Jinxiu could not help but feel a bit regretful, she left Song Chengshu to stay for two days in order to rope him over to her side, but did not expect that things would turn out like this, and that she did not have the time to rope Song Chengshu in.
"Embroidery greets Second Cousin. It's nothing. I just heard that Second Sister is coming to the palace to meet with you. I wanted to give you a few words of advice."
Song Chengshu heard and frowned, "Enter the palace to see you?"
Seeing that Song Chengshu had taken the bait, Chu Jinxiu said softly, "Second Cousin doesn't know. Today, the empress dowager is returning to the capital with the phoenix.
"So that's how it is, I coincidentally came to bid farewell to my aunt as well."
Chu Jinxiu was startled for a moment. Clearly, Song Chengshu was interested in Chu Qinghuan, but why did he really go to the Listening Cloud Courtyard?
Forget it, there was still one more method after one plan failed. She did not believe that Chu Qinghuan would be so lucky to be able to avoid this every time!
On the carriage, the thrush had always been uneasy. The last time he had entered the palace, the Miss had not brought him with her. This was the first time he had entered the palace …
"Miss, what are you doing?" The thrush awakes from the fantasy, see the scene before him can not help but be startled.
Chu Qinghuan gently shook her head, "Don't say anything, help me out." The bandage on her left arm had already been removed, and the interior of the carriage was filled with the smell of ointment.
"But if you say so, how will you heal it?" Tou Mei was extremely worried, only to see Chu Qinghuan using the cotton cloth to start wiping the ointment on her arm.
"Silly girl, quickly help me. Otherwise, it'll be even more troublesome when we head back."
Seeing the young miss's clumsy hand, could only listen to Chu Qinghuan's arrangements. It was just that when the cotton cloth touched the bone, Chu Qinghuan couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air.
"Miss, are you alright?"
This little injury was nothing. Chu Qinghuan shook her head, it was just that she had not felt such pain in a long time, she had forgotten the original taste of pain.
Wiping away the ointment, San-Mei wanted to put down her sleeves, but Chu Qinghuan poured some tea on her arms, "Wipe them for me again."
The lady in red was confused. While wiping the blood off her face, she asked, "Miss, what is the reason for this?"
Chu Qinghuan smiled but did not say a word, waiting for the left arm to no longer have any traces of ointment, and then put down her sleeve, "Turn back."
"Miss, be careful!"
The carriage suddenly stopped, and the thrush immediately used himself as Chu Qinghuan's cushion, and at least protected his safety.
Seeing her painful expression, Chu Qinghuan was furious, and said to the coachman: "Is this how the carriage works in the General's House?"
Coachman sat there trembling. The person blocking the carriage laughed: "Second Cousin sister, you have such a big temper. I only want to bid my farewell to Second Cousin sister, there is no need to be angry, right?"
It was Song Chengshu, riding a red and brown handsome horse, and blocking in front of Chu Qinghuan's horse carriage.
Hearing this, Chu Qinghuan laughed softly, "Second Young Master Song has misunderstood. This princess is only teaching my subordinate a lesson, why would Second Young Master Song care so much?"
If they had bid farewell, would they have cared so much about the safety of the people in the carriage? What a great Song Chengshu, she, Chu Qinghuan, will remember this shocking revenge!
Song Chengshu could not help but frown, "As expected of second cousin, her sharp tongue is incomparable to others, it's just that there are a lot of things to do at the palace, I hope second cousin will take care of this, and do not be so merciless, at that time, I might not even know how she died."
The carriage's curtain was still hanging, Chu Qinghuan did not have any plans to lift it, "I will trouble Second Young Master Song to worry, this princess' life is very precious, let's go."
Coachman looked at Song Chengshu and was about to circle around him, but Song Chengshu suddenly turned his horse and gave way to him.
Song Chengshu was slightly regretful that he didn't manage to catch a glimpse of his beloved one. He had madly ran the entire way, but ended up getting ridiculed by this little girl in the end. The one who came knocking on his door was being scolded, wasn't he?
The Palace of Gentle Serenity.
Just as Chu Qinghuan was about to step into the palace, he was called out, "Second Miss Chu has not seen you for a few days, why are you looking a little haggard?"
Seeing the newcomer, Chu Qinghuan smiled faintly, "Qing Huan is not as free as the princess, after all, her family has its own problems."
Huangfu Wushuang's face immediately changed.
Huangfu Wushuang had lost her mother when she was young, and was raised by Emperor Xuanwu later on. This could also be considered her weakness, to be able to embarrass Huangfu Wushuang, how could she not seize this opportunity?
"Qing Huan, what are you talking about? Why are you so happy? Why don't you let me have a good time?" When Grand Princess Feng arrived, Huangfu Wushuang couldn't help but kneel down in salute, but just as Chu Qinghuan was about to salute, she was stopped by Grand Princess, "Why do we need to be so courteous to each other? Twin, stand up. Grandmother Huang came back so suddenly that we were all in a hurry. "
At the same time, the Grand Princess grabbed onto Chu Qinghuan's left arm, causing her eyebrows to change. Seeing that, Huangfu Wushuang squinted her eyes, as she calculated something.
But Chu Qinghuan acted as if nothing had happened and unceremoniously pulled back her arm, "The empress dowager misses Grand Princess, so she couldn't wait to see him."
"With that mouth of yours, it's like you've been smeared with honey. When I see you again, I'll definitely be happy." An obvious smile hung on Grand Princess's lips as he followed Chu Qinghuan to the side hall.
Before they even entered the door, they heard a somewhat gentle voice: "It's been a while, Qian Er is more familiar with the rules now than before."
Huangfu Yunqian flirted with the empress dowager like a spoiled child. The concubines and princes sitting in the side palace all laughed along, Huangfu Yu said, "Isn't that so? We, Qian Er are already big girls, we are about to get married. "
"That's right, Qian Er should be around the age of fifty next year. Empress, you should also pay more attention to finding a good marriage for Qian Er."
The Empress Liu nodded her head in agreement. However, Huangfu Yunqian refused: "Qian Er is still young, and wants to accompany and recite buddhist scriptures to royal grandmother's side. As for the brothers, they should be talking about marriage, what's more … "Eh, Big Sister Huang and Big Sister Wushuang are here."
Huangfu Yunqian jumped down from the couch and pulled Chu Qinghuan in front of the empress dowager, "Your royal grandmother doesn't know, right? This is the Princess Qinghuan that was bestowed the title of emperor not long ago, it's the daughter of Chu Xiang."
The empress dowager couldn't help but frown. "This Dowager remembers Chu Xiang's daughter. Isn't she the Chu Jinxiu that the number one talented girl in the capital, Chu Jinxiu?"
"Imperial Grandmother probably confused Lord Liu's daughter with Chu Xiang's eldest daughter. Qing Huan was Chu Xiang's second daughter and once saved Feng'er's life. Royal Father, on account of her risking her life to save Feng'er, bestowed her the title of princess."
The empress dowager frowned. Then, she remembered what was strange. It was as if Huangfu Yunfeng had come in with the second daughter of the Emperor. Moreover, her words contained more than a hint of protective intent.
This was the first time in many years, and the empress dowager nodded. "A loyal ruler who protects his sovereign. As expected of a descendant of the old Tutor, he really does have a backbone."
When Huangfu Yunqian saw that the empress dowager was actually praising Chu Qinghuan, she could not help but be secretly annoyed, but her face still had a smile as she said, "Imperial Grandmother said that Qian Er is old. Qian Er remembers that the Second Miss Chu is even older than Qian Er by a few months. Besides, didn't Sister Wushuang still talk about marriage? Qian Er is not in a rush. "
He was sure that Huangfu Yunqian would involve herself in this matter, but he didn't expect that she would drag Huangfu Wushuang down with her. The corner of Chu Qinghuan's mouth raised into a smile, and he knelt down to pay his respects, "This subject greets the empress dowager.
Huangfu Wushuang had originally wanted to refute her, but Chu Qinghuan had snatched her away first. She could not help but bow as well, "Twin greets royal grandmother.
"Everyone, get up, This Dowager hasn't returned to the capital in such a long time, and Twin has also come out and become a big girl."
Huangfu Wushuang sat on the small Wooden Pellet at the empress dowager's feet. Out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Huangfu Shu, but Huangfu Shu's gaze did not land on him.
"Royal Grandmother, speaking of you, your eyes are like torches. Would you be able to introduce me to your beloved husband? After all, she was not in the capital before, so she did not know a lot of things. "
Huangfu Yunqian's words were unintentional, but everyone in the Warm Pavilion was shocked!
Is this asking the empress dowager to bestow a marriage?
