Rebirth Of the Vicious Empress - C66
“Congratulations, young and promising elder brother Chu. This is truly a cause for celebration.”
He did not congratulate Old Mistress and Madame Song, but instead congratulated Chu Jinxiu, and in an instant, Chu Qinghuan understood where this dazzling silk cloth belonged. From Chu Jinxiu’s gaze, she could see how pleased she was with herself, and her gaze even landed on, as though she was showing off.
“Wenjin is really considerate. Why didn’t you thank Prince for the beautiful embroidery? I truly have troubled Prince and Third Prince, to come all the way here. ”
It was as if only then did Ji Fengye realize Huangfu Shu was here, and he couldn’t help but chuckle softly when he heard him. Oh right, Second Miss Chu, your majesty the Emperor has bestowed upon you. Nanny Luo, why aren’t you coming in? Do you want me to invite you? ”
“This servant dares not.” Soon after, a fifty year old Nanny dressed in palace attire came in, her face did not reveal a smile, and her tone of voice did not seem to contain any respect for Ji Fengye. Chu Qinghuan looked carefully but did not recognize the Nanny Luo. She could not help but be surprised, since when was there such an old Nanny hidden in the palace?
“This servant greets Old Mistress, Madam, Second Miss.” Nanny Luo was full of etiquette.
It was just that Old Mistress’s face did not look too good. On the contrary, it was First Madame who seemed to have thought of something as a look of satisfaction flashed across her face. What Emperor Xuanwu bestowed upon her was silk and silk, and what she bestowed upon that little bitch, Chu Qinghuan, was a Nanny who was reared well, the meaning of this was self-evident.
As for whether Emperor Xuanwu had the intention to slap her on her face, she did not care. After all, she was not the daughter that she had raised up, and if it was really so, she could use this method to teach Chu Qinghuan a lesson.
“In the future, second girl will be troubling Nanny.” Then he turned to Chu Jinfu and said: “Don’t just laugh, if you have the time, learn the rules from Nanny Luo. If you don’t have the time, marry someone, and your wife will pick on me, this old granny.”
Chu Jinfu was instantly annoyed, she directly said that Old Mistress despised him again. When Chu Changxi saw the fine silk fabric, she could not help but feel her vision blurring. Her gaze was fixated on it.
That gaze was fixed on her, and even Chu Changle was unable to continue watching. She extended his hand to pull her hand, but was met with a glare from Chu Changxi.
“Pick whatever Third Sister and Sixth Sister like. It’s just that second sister has this rouge intoxicating Yun Jin, I’m afraid she doesn’t think much of elder sister’s things.”
However, Chu Qinghuan could hear it clearly. When it came to the rouge on Yun Jin, Chu Jinxiu’s gaze fell on her. After instructing the thrush to bring the Nanny Luo back to the Zilan Academy, Chu Qinghuan smiled and said: “Big Sis must be joking, His Majesty has bestowed us with grace, how could the Qing Huan not take notice?”
Although Old Mistress was just joking with Chu Jinfu, she couldn’t help but praise him inwardly when she heard this. Madame Song thought that she had raised a daughter who was unparalleled in the world, but everything fell to Second Girl.
It wasn’t a bad thing for someone to hit her like that, lest she belittled him. She really thought that she was peerless in the world.
Chu Jinxiu was unaware of Old Mistress’s thoughts, but when she heard Chu Qinghuan’s words, her face became slightly awkward.
“The Old Mistress is truly a blessed person. The young miss is incomparably talented, the Second Miss is clever and intelligent, even the Fifth Young Miss is a beauty. No wonder even the empress dowager said that the Old Mistress is deeply blessed.”
Old Mistress immediately replied with modesty: “Third Prince is joking, these few girls are just being naughty.”
When Huangfu Shu heard this, he smiled and looked at Chu Qinghuan as if he had thought of something. Then, his gaze fell on Chu Jinxiu, as if he was sighing with emotion.
Ji Fengye, however, suddenly asked with great enthusiasm: “What do you think of this piece of Purple Jade Stick that the Hundred Butterfly Dressed in?”
Chu Jinxiu’s face tensed up, angry that Ji Fengye actually wanted to use his silk cloth as a favor. Her expression changed slightly, and Chu Changxi saw it clearly, as she hurriedly said: “Third Prince, I think that the Hundred Butterfly Dress is the most suitable for Big Sis to make his a wide-sleeved immortal dress, and only purple can be worthy of Big Sis’ splendor. Second Elder Sister, what do you think?”
What a delicate person, Chu Qinghuan thought it was funny. Ji Fengye would definitely not use such an unconventional method to disgust Chu Jinxiu. Furthermore, she did not have any good impressions towards the hundred butterflies wearing purple damask, nor did he have any intention to fight.
“Is that so? “On the other hand, Regional Commander …”
Chu Jinxiu interrupted him and said: “If Prince likes it, feel free to take it.”
Even though he was interrupted, Ji Fengye was not annoyed, and only laughed: “I don’t even have a beauty like Eldest Miss here, wouldn’t it be a waste to have such fine satin? I think the Third Miss’s words are reasonable, the hundred butterflies in purple and the flowers in purple and white are very suitable for the young miss. ”
Hearing that, Chu Jinxiu was startled, as though she could not believe that Ji Fengye actually said that, she immediately smiled shyly and lowered her head, looking extremely amorous.
With the large amount of brocade that Emperor Xuanwu had bestowed upon him, the corners of Chu Jinxiu’s mouth could be seen with a smile as she ate. Occasionally, she would look at Chu Qinghuan with a pitiful gaze.
However, Chu Qinghuan did not mind. A bowl of porridge appeared in front of him, which Nanny Lin had personally scooped and carried over. Old Mistress said: “Duck meat can remove moisture and quench heat.
Old Mistress liked duck meat the most, but when she was old, she wouldn’t melt, so she didn’t move much. On the other hand, after Concubine Liu heard about this, she personally cooked duck meat porridge for Old Mistress, which Old Mistress used quite a bit.
After that, it was summer, and every few days, he would boil a bowl of duck porridge.
However, although this duck meat porridge looked ordinary, it was the most troublesome to use the ingredients.
Ten years of fragrant rice wine with soy sauce, as well as Nanjing’s duck meat that was brought here fresh, and Jiangnan’s jasper rice porridge alone were worth no less than ten taels of silver.
Besides, which dish at this table is simple?
Chu Jinxiu’s favorite cream crumbs, her usual cinnamon candy, steamed chestnut and caltrop pastries. Which one was simple and easy?
Everyone thought that the palace was filled with luxurious clothes, jade, and delicacies. But those were merely a few favoured imperial concubines.
Back then, when the First Prince ascended to the throne, Chu Qinghuan was very clear on the way the imperial concubines ate and dressed up. And even if it was an ordinary palace imperial concubine’s diet, they would definitely not come according to their preferences. After all, if it was an imperial concubine who wanted to eat watermelon in the winter, even if the imperial chef was extremely capable, he would not be able to make such a rare item.
“Sorry for troubling you, Nanny Lin.” Chu Qinghuan thanked her softly. Although the few young mistresses were left to eat, Old Mistress had always respected the rules, and did not speak or eat, even when Chu Jinfu ate, she still did so in accordance to the rules.
After lunch, Chu Qinghuan accompanied the Old Mistress for a chat before slowly returning. Halfway through, she saw the Nanny Zhou welcoming him.
Chu Qinghuan had instantly guessed the purpose of Nanny Zhou’s visit. After all, it was obvious that she had waited for a long time for someone to show up.
“What’s wrong with mother? Is there something urgent? ”
Chu Qinghuan pretended not to know, causing Nanny Zhou to become anxious. She naturally knew that she had chosen a clever and clever master, how could she not know what she was thinking? She suddenly felt anxious and was about to say something when she saw thrush and shake her head lightly.
The Nanny Zhou did not understand, but just as she was about to ask why, she heard a voice from behind her, “Second Miss, Fifth Young Miss ordered a servant to send over the things that you dropped.”
Chu Qinghuan was startled for a moment, but when she saw the embroidered box with the rich flowers in Si Qi’s hands, she suddenly remembered that the two boxes beside Chu Jinfu looked like this.
“Thank you.” Since Chu Jinfu asked him to deliver it, the meaning was obvious. If she still refused, it would mean that she did not put Chu Jinfu’s feelings in her eyes. Naturally, Chu Qinghuan would not do such a stupid thing.
The Nanny Zhou hurriedly took it and stuffed the two little naked girls into Si Qi’s hands. Then, she took the paper back and whispered: “Don’t be anxious.”
When Nanny Zhou heard this, she did not quite understand. However, when she saw that Si Qi was about to speak, she suddenly realized something and changed the topic, “Miss, your servant has already ordered people to keep an eye on him. Don’t worry, Miss.”
In the end, he was not a fool, and knew better than to waste time, Chu Qinghuan did not beat around the bush, “Sooner or later, Big brother will have to go to the front courtyard to live, at that time, I will be afraid of mother’s trouble.”
When Nanny Zhou heard this, he was almost overjoyed. However, when she thought about what happened just now, she couldn’t help but feel resentful. Only then did she restrain her smile and said: “This servant’s duty is, Miss is too courteous.”
That night, Nanny Zhou went to take a look at the thrush, and brought along a few boxes of makeup. “Thank you, Miss thrush, for your help today, if not I would have lost all my face, wouldn’t I?” When she saw that the palace suddenly bestowed Nanny upon her, she couldn’t sit still anymore. It was just that the young miss hadn’t arranged anything for the Nanny Luo all this while, so she had already made up her mind.
“Mother is too polite, I’m just being completely loyal to the young miss.”
The more Nanny Zhou looked at the thrush, the more she felt that the thrush was a loyal person. Thinking about how his son had yet to be married off, she couldn’t help but have some thoughts, but thinking about the thrush’s action just now, she was somewhat afraid to speak out. In the end, this was someone who could speak up in front of his master, and the Second Miss was currently being pampered.
However, when Chu Qinghuan went to pay her respects to the Old Mistress, he saw that Chu Jinxiu was wearing a set of Immortal Leaving Dress made of violet and satin with hundreds of flowers and butterflies. She could not help but feel that her eyes lit up.
Ji Fengye’s monstrous eyesight was indeed good, and Chu Jinxiu was indeed the most suitable color for this Celestial Purple. On that day, Chu Jinxiu ran around the entire The Backyard of The Prime Minister’S Estate wearing the new Immortal Leaving Dress, and at night, when Chu Qinghuan heard the thrush talking about it, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
It was just that on the second day, he did not see Chu Jinxiu when he went to greet the Old Mistress, causing Chu Qinghuan to be slightly surprised, but Bao Qin just hurriedly came to report, “Old Mistress, please forgive me, my family’s young miss was cold last night and was unable to come to greet the Old Mistress, please forgive me.”
The Old Mistress waved her hand nonchalantly. However, Chu Jinfu pulled on Chu Qinghuan and whispered: “What kind of cold did I catch? I asked for ice several times at night and said that it was itchy to death.
Just as Chu Qinghuan wanted to reject, she heard Chu Jinfu say loudly: “Grandmother, Second Elder Sister and I will go see Big Sis, otherwise, Mother will blame us for disrespecting Big Sis again.”
