Rebirth Of the Vicious Empress - C80
“Oh, what brilliant ideas do you have in the Second Miss?” He poured a cup of tea and passed it over to Zhu Yuan, “Give Second Miss a cup of tea to quell your shock, I would like to hear what kind of grand talk she has.”
Everyone present was shocked, who didn’t know that eight thousand years old was someone who looked down on others the most? Even if someone else had used something, he would not even look at it for a moment before throwing it away. But now, he had personally poured Chu Qinghuan a cup of tea. Some people couldn’t help but recall the dubious words of the year when Fourth Miss Song and the Heir of Linping Marquis were engaged to each other in Anping Marquis’s Palace.
However, in the next moment, Ji Fengye poured some tea for the Grand Princess and said: “All of the tea in Grand Princess’s residence is for Zhong Lingxiu, if I were to disturb you more in the future, I would not take offense.”
Everyone was dumbfounded again. This, this, was the person in front of them still 8000 years old?
But now, Chu Wenjin just stood there alone.
Chu Qinghuan looked at the teacup with some hesitation, but still slowly extended her hand and received it. Just as she was about to lightly sip the tea, she heard Ji Fengye asking in puzzlement: “Everyone says that the person who is used to using her left hand is smart, Second Miss Chu is truly a smart person.”
When he said that, everyone realized that Chu Qinghuan had used his left hand to pick up the tea cup. His right hand was hung there, and they couldn’t clearly see what was going on.
A godsend chance! Chu Jinxiu did not expect that this opportunity was actually given to him by Ji Fengye. She hesitated for a moment, and said softly: “Prince has misunderstood, it’s just that Second Sister accidentally burned the back of her hand while drinking tea a few days ago, that’s why she used the left hand.”
No wonder it was unstable. Huangfu Jing was actually slightly worried. How could she be so careless? He didn’t know how bad his injuries were, and he was still rowing furiously just now. However, he didn’t know if his injuries had worsened yet again.
“Oh? This Regional Commander is confused, even after drinking tea, he was still able to heat the back of his hand. Second Miss is really sloppy, just like Heir of Marquis of Chengen. ”
Liu Changqi’s tea was scalding that place, but it was not at the back of his hand, so how could he be so careless when he did? Tutor was clearly doubting Chu Jinxiu’s words!
Huangfu Jing was surprised, if he was not the one who got scald, then wouldn’t that be someone else’s? Who in the Chu Clan had the guts to do this? He actually dared to injure the dignified young mistress of the Prime Minister’s Hall!
“I dare not be a servant girl. Elder sister might have misheard. The one injured wasn’t me, but my maidservant. Therefore, I brought another maidservant here today.” As she said this, she slowly extended her right hand. The back of her hand was smooth without the slightest red swelling. Her palm was slightly red. It was likely due to holding the cloud oar too tightly.
“It’s just that my right hand felt weak when I was rowing. That’s why I used my left hand.” Chu Qinghuan explained in a clear voice: “I have let the Prince and the Grand Princess down. As for who exactly the man and woman are bullying, this subject believes that there must be some sort of misunderstanding between them.”
“Why do you say that?”
Seeing that the Grand Princess had become interested, Chu Qinghuan slowly said: “In a business, deceit between merchants is not strange, even within the Eastern Ink Lake, there are words like big fishes eating small fishes and eating shrimp. If you bully the weak and are afraid of the strong, then it would truly be meaningless. Jianghu chivalry is justice, border soldiers are the protection of the country, as for us are just in the boudoir, laughing and chatting, but after the marriage is only the children. If there really is a woman bullying a man, then it is only my mother teaching her disobedient son a lesson. This subject is retarded, I hope Grand Princess will not take offense. ”
The first few sentences were merely ordinary, but the last few words were said by Grand Princess, causing a smile to bloom on his face. “What a great ‘Father, Mother, taught my son a lesson’, it’s a bit new, is Prince convinced?”
Perhaps it was because it had been a long time since he last smiled, but Grand Princess’s smile was a little stiff.
If Ji Fengye’s words just now had caused the spring water of the One Lake to ripple, then Chu Qinghuan’s words had caused the spring water to surge.
‘s words were obviously intended to ridicule her, but even the Grand Princess had praised her, so what could he say?
“To be able to win the Grand Princess’s smile, I am naturally convinced.”
Grand Princess’s lips relaxed after hearing this. However, the female official Bi Yao lightly reminded him: “Princess, the Immortal Flower Pavilion has already been set up. How about we move to the Immortal Flower Pavilion?”
Immortal Flower Pavilion.
Chu Qinghuan sat beside Grand Princess, and pushed Huangfu Yunqian and Huangfu Wushuang to the side, causing Huangfu Yunqian to be unhappy, “I only said two words, is it worth royal sister to place so much importance on me?”
Her voice was not suppressed at all, the Grand Princess did not even bat an eyelid when she heard him. Chu Qinghuan pretended not to hear her, and only picked up a piece of tofu to eat slowly.
“Did Qing Huan eat the taste of the tofu?”
Grand Princess loved to eat the most. All these years, he had been eating in a vegetarian’s house, but it was also his way of thinking.
Chu Qinghuan had heard about the Grand Princess’s hobbies in his past life, so she was very clear about it. However, if the one who said it was true, wouldn’t that be “someone who cares”, she picked up another piece of tofu, chewed and swallowed it slowly for a good while before saying: “There is the taste of chicken soup inside, if I’m not mistaken, it should be made from the high soup of a hen and soaked the tofu inside, but there seems to be other flavors as well. It seems to be the bitterness of the lotus seeds, and the sweetness of the osmanthus.
Grand Princess heard and nodded, “That’s right, the tofu was soaked in broth for a whole day and night. Then, with lotus seeds, osmanthus wine and the chestnut meat hidden inside, I don’t know if you can taste it.”
Chu Qinghuan was a little shocked, she tried another piece, and her face revealed a look of surprise, “So it’s really the chestnut meat! It’s because I used to roast chestnuts when I was young, but I couldn’t taste it.”
“He really doesn’t know anything.” Huangfu Yunqian only felt that Chu Qinghuan was a country bumpkin that came from the countryside, she couldn’t even see this point clearly.
was not convinced, it was fine that the Royal Father was biased towards the stinking girl, but even the royal sister was deceived by the girl, it was simply unreasonable! However, just as she was about to speak up and speak the truth again, Huangfu Wushuang grabbed her left hand, and no one could see what she was doing.
“Royal sister, it is said that it is impossible to avoid the vulgarity without Jing Wuqin. Miss Liu’s zither skills can be said to be renowned throughout the capital. I wonder if we could be fortunate enough to listen to the music?”
Back then, Grand Princess liked zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his attainment was extraordinary as well. Hearing Huangfu Wushuang’s words, he was immediately filled with interest, “That’s not bad, I coincidentally found a zither music manual, I wonder if Miss Liu would appreciate it?”
When the Grand Princess spoke, how could it not honor his words? Although Liu Dantong was unable to figure out what exactly Huangfu Wushuang was doing, she slowly stood up and said: “It’s just that this subject’s zither arts are too crude, I hope Grand Princess does not mind.”
Chu Jinxiu, who was standing at the side, was instantly enraged. She clearly knew that she was the most proficient with the zither techniques, reputed as the number one person in the capital. Yet she still praised Liu Dantong, causing her face to immediately turn ugly.
Chu Jinxiu laughed from the bottom of her heart, Chu Jinxiu had looked down on the people of the imperial family too much, back then, she had planned to use Ping Yang to suppress Chu Qinghuan, today she wanted this little girl to see what methods she had!
“But if it’s just playing the Jade Zither by myself, then there won’t be much of a contest. There are so many concubines present, so why don’t Imperial Sis give them a chance?”
As she thought of this, she couldn’t help but feel extremely confident. Just as she was about to stand up, she heard Huangfu Wushuang say, “Among the beauties in the capital, we have also heard about the Qin Se Flute, but the Miss Xue and the Second Miss Chu have only recently entered the capital, so we haven’t had the chance to listen to it. I wonder if we will have the chance to do so today?”
Chu Jinxiu stood there stiffly, but her face slowly revealed a smile. Huangfu Wushuang clearly saw that the three of them were on good terms with each other, so she resorted to a plan to turn the three of them against each other!
Chu Qinghuan naturally sensed Huangfu Wushuang’s intentions, and she even understood that the reason Huangfu Wushuang specially mentioned Liu Dantong’s zither skills was because she wanted Chu Jinxiu to be more angry with him. What a great ‘one stone, two birds’ tactic. As expected of someone from the royal family.
However, the Grand Princess did not seem to think about all this and gently asked, “Jinlian and Qing Huan, are you willing to show off your talents?”
Chu Qinghuan could not reject, but Xue Jinlian shook her head and said, “This subject is willing to help everyone, but I’m afraid that the Grand Princess Palace does not have the musical instrument that this subject is good at using.”
“Nonsense, how could there not be a small musical instrument in the palace?” immediately berated, but Grand Princess frowned and asked: “Is Jinlian talking about the newly-spread Qing Hu?” Her eyebrows creased, but his expression was one of surprise.
“That’s right, this subject has a habit of using this woman’s house. However, it was originally in Longxi, and I’m afraid it’s still on its way to the capital.” Although Xue Jinlian was magnanimous, it nevertheless infuriated Huangfu Yunqian to the point that she almost died.
She had never even heard of the word ‘Qingxiao’ before. It was clearly an excuse!
She only watched as Chu Qinghuan picked up the lute from beside the musician and laughed: “What, Second Miss Chu learned the lute this way?”
Seeing this, Shuyuan covered her mouth and chuckled. Although the zither and lute were equally famous, but this lute had never been able to be on the table with dog meat. As for the third prettiest girl in the capital, Qin Huai Lou, she was the most proficient at playing the lute.
Coincidentally, Miss Ruo Chu was a frequent visitor in the Grand Princess Palace, so Chu Qinghuan’s choice was simply asking to be humiliated.
After Chu Qinghuan heard this, he did not say anything and only glanced at Huangfu Yunqian. However, Huangfu Shu was the one who loved the sound of the pipa, the pearl landing on the ground the most, and thus following the musician’s painstaking study, she succeeded in learning it in the end. It was just that she did not have the chance to play it for Huangfu Shu to hear, and all of his hard work had been destroyed by his heartbreaking words, not a single piece was left!
The sound of the zither strings moving was like a calm wind blowing past a spring dream, causing people to not know where they were.
The sound of the lute rose, just like the soft voice of a daughter in a girl’s room.
Grand Princess’s eyes revealed a look of surprise, the music masters at the new music house had played the music several times, but it did not suit her heart, he did not expect Chu Qinghuan to hear the start and end of the play, just that the music books were written by Qin Xiao, he did not know how to play the Jade Zither and the Pipa together.
The sound of the lute was urgent, like the sound of war drums, and the general’s orders were urgent.
The sound of the jade zither shook the air, like a woman unwilling to part with her, and she watched her lover leave.
The sound of the lute and Yao zither moved. The two people’s fingertips danced as they looked at each other and smiled. The corners of their lips contained a trace of a smile.
In the next moment, a wail sounded out, startling everyone. It was the weak sound of the jade zither and the low sound of the pipa.
As the sound faded, it lingered in the air. It wasn’t until the applause that Shuyuan came back to her senses. She looked around and her face was covered in tears.
“Good score, good tune, good girl.”
Ji Fengye wrote three good words consecutively, but it was the most appropriate one. Even Grand Princess had a smile in the corner of his eyes, but felt a little regretful. The musicians in the mansion had a tacit understanding, but they all lacked this mindset. [I wonder how these two can be so emotional when they are only two daughters?] At this moment, the Grand Princess had a higher opinion of Liu Dantong and the others, and had already surpassed all of the other women present.
“What are you doing playing these sad songs at a good banquet? Royal sister, why don’t we enjoy a dance? If not, when we go back, everyone’s eyes will be red and swollen. Those who don’t know will think that royal sister is bullying us. ”
Huangfu Yunqian said gently, but her words were reasonable, “A few days ago, I had a dance with elder sister Jin Xiu, how about royal sister take a look, and see if it entered your eyes.”
When Chu Qinghuan returned to his seat, the Grand Princess patted her hands lightly, “Not bad, after the performance is done, I will get a reward.
Huangfu Yunqian immediately laughed, and stood up to grab Chu Jinxiu’s hand: “Sister Huang, don’t underestimate Qian Er, if you miss me, I will let sister take advantage of you! However, this time, it will definitely be an eye-opener for the royal sister! ”
The nimble Palace Maid carried out a large basket and everyone was shocked. They were all curious about what was inside the basket, but Chu Qinghuan couldn’t help but be shocked!
This fishy smell was clearly that of a snake!
As expected, when the cage was taken away, the faces of all the women present lost color, and even the man revealed a look of astonishment. Huangfu Shu’s gaze tightened, and a trace of disapproval flashed across his eyes, while the corner of Fifth Prince’s lips curled up into a smile.
However, Ji Fengye was talking to Shen Qian something, and although his voice was low, the smile on his face was unfathomable.
Snake Dance!
It was no wonder that Chu Jinxiu had not been home often these past few days. Originally, she had entered the palace to perform this dance with Huangfu Yunqian, but she was still subconsciously afraid of this snake worm. She remembered that Chu Jinxiu hated this snake and mouse the most, and was currently surrounded by more than ten long snakes that danced beside him.
“It’s quite novel.” Grand Princess was the most daring, he was not afraid of snakes and bugs, but he was very interested in them.
However, Ji Fengye slowly raised his head, took a glance at the scene, and then said slowly: “I think this scene can only be described with one word.
When Shen Qian heard this, the corner of his mouth slightly curled, but he did not say a word.
