"..." Qin Yao's mouth twitched, and he confirmed once again that this little miracle doctor was definitely a two-faced person.

Qin Yao couldn't help but make faces at Gu Jue and complain, meaning, Brother Jiu, look at her!

The corners of Gu Jue's lips curled up, and a faint smile softened his originally cold face. His handsome features were like the morning sun outside the window, and even the water pavilion seemed to light up because of his smile.

Chu Qianchen also smiled along with him, with curved eyebrows and eyes, revealing a pair of shallow dimples on his cheeks.

Well, although Qin Yao is not a worry-free person, he still has the ability to "entertain his parents with colorful clothes", so she tolerates him.

Gu Jue added: "After I leave Beijing, I also hope that Miss Chu will come to the palace in about three days. I will ask Yunzhan to pick you up at Jishiditang."

"Okay." Chu Qianchen responded directly, gentle and well-behaved.

She still agreed unconditionally, without asking the reason at all, but Gu Jue said directly: "I need to leave Beijing for a while, and I have to use serious illness as a cover."

"I will come!" Chu Qianchen nodded solemnly again, understanding Gu Jue's intention.

Since the emperor knows that the prince is seriously ill, let him implement this idea and make the emperor think that the prince is ill and that is why he stays indoors. In this way, the prince can take the opportunity to leave Beijing and avoid being discovered by the emperor.

Gu Jue looked at her solemn face, his heart moved slightly, and even the smile on his lips became soft and charming.

He stood up suddenly and said, "Follow me."

Chu Qianchen followed immediately.

Before Qin Yao could say anything, the two of them had already gone out of the water pavilion.

Qin Yao tugged at Yun Zhan's sleeve and gave him a look, meaning, do you feel that these two people are acting as if they are the only ones around?

Yunzhan: “…”

"Prince, do you want to go back to your room?" Yun Zhan asked tentatively.

Qin Yao felt that he couldn't have a good conversation with him and Mo Chen at all. One was stupid and the other was like ice.

Chu Qianchen didn't care about Qin Yao at all and followed Gu Jue closely.

The weather today is clear and the sun is high in the sky, casting a long shadow behind Gu Jue.

Chu Qianchen behind him was just shrouded in Gu Jue's shadow.

Gu Jue walked neither fast nor slow, leisurely and elegantly.

Chu Qianchen looked up at his tall and straight back and couldn't help but think of his previous life.

In her previous life, she often walked behind him like this, protecting herself under his wings.

In her previous life, she worked tirelessly to learn medical skills, just to protect him and do something for him...

While she was thinking, Gu Jue in front of her suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

When the two looked at each other, Chu Qianchen couldn't help but smile again. He noticed the surrounding scenery from the corner of his eyes and blurted out, "Are we going to the martial arts arena?"

A few feet ahead of them was the martial arts arena.

Chu Qianchen often came here in his previous life, so he was naturally very familiar with this area.

"Yeah." Gu Jue responded and motioned Chu Qianchen to follow him.

When a long wooden box appeared in front of her, Chu Qianchen finally understood why Gu Jue had called her to the martial arts arena.

"Is this for me?"

While speaking, Chu Qianchen's hand had already picked up the black Jurchen bow placed in the wooden box.

This bow is very light in the hand and is obviously smaller than the bows used by ordinary men. It should be a bow specially customized for women.

Chu Qianchen couldn't let go of the Jurchen bow in his hand and looked at it again and again, thinking to himself: The prince is so nice!

It must be because she told him a few days ago that Chu Yunmu’s face was injured by a broken bow. He knew that she didn’t have her own bow, so he specially gave her one.

In fact, the shop where she went to order the knives also made bows. She had originally planned to customize a bow and arrow there, but she was in a hurry to get the knives, so she had to bargain and offer a high price to let the craftsmen make the knives first, so the bow was put aside for the time being.

Chu Qianchen smiled brightly, her bare face seemed to be shimmering with spring light under the bright sunlight, her cheeks were as smooth as jade, and her clear phoenix eyes were sparkling.

Gu Jue didn't need to ask her if she liked it, he just said: "Try it."

He handed her a feathered arrow.

Chu Qianchen didn't bother to be polite with him at all. He skillfully put the arrow on the bow, drew the bow, and then shot the arrow.

The result, of course, was an arrow hitting the bull's eye.

She tried three arrows in a row, retreating ten steps each time, and each arrow hit the bull's eye.

In her previous life, it was the prince who personally taught her archery, and even after the prince passed away, she never slacked off.

She would not let the prince down and used this as a means of self-defense.

Looking at the girl with shining eyes in front of him, Gu Jue felt his heart clear.

This girl, seemingly a delicate flower that is easily broken, actually has a vitality stronger than that of weeds. It seems that no matter where she is, whether it is ice and snow, cliffs, or desert Gobi, she can survive and be full of vitality.

Seeing that Gu Jue didn't say anything, Chu Qianchen walked towards him and tugged at his wide sleeves with his slender white fingers.

"My Lord, did I shoot well?" She looked at him expectantly.

Gu Jue smiled slightly, "Very good."

"If you have any problems in the future, you can directly ask Xue Fengyan."

Chu Qianchen opened her eyes slightly, was startled at first, and then a bright smile spread across her little face.

So, she will be one of the "insiders" of Prince Chen's Mansion from now on, right? !

Just like in the previous life!!

Chu Qianchen felt that she was dizzy and her feet were light-footed. No matter what Gu Jue said, she just agreed foolishly.

An hour later, when she came out of the house next to Prince Chen's Mansion, she still felt as if she was walking on the clouds.

When she went in, she only had a small wooden box in her hand which served as a medicine box. When she came out, the small wooden box contained herbs used to make Da Zao Wan, as well as two bows, one of which was for Chu Yunmu.

Chu Qianchen felt that today couldn't be more perfect and happily started his journey home.

On the way back, she stopped by a blacksmith shop. Two knives had already been made, exactly the same as on her drawing.

She gave more silver and asked the craftsman to make three more pairs in the same way, and then left the blacksmith shop.

Now the only thing missing is the Seven-Star Grass. The people from Jialou should be arriving at Hao Kingdom soon.

As Chu Qianchen walked, he was thinking in his mind that in addition to the usual medicines, he had to prepare a dose of Jiuxu ointment, commonly used antidotes, tranquilizing incense, etc. for the prince.

By the way, she also needs to carefully consider the recipe for the pills she prepares for the prince, and make sure that the efficacy of the pills is as close to that of the decoction as possible.

She was thinking silently about which herbs she needed, and was about to go to Jishidiang to get some medicine...

Chu Qianchen was absent-minded. In addition to helping her hold the two bows, Amber also had to help her watch the road, reminding her to be careful from time to time, or occasionally giving her a hand.

"Miss." Amber gently pulled Chu Qianchen again and whispered in her ear, "It's the young master."

Chu Qianchen, who was still dazed, blinked and then slowly realized that the young master was referring to Chu Yunyi.

"Over there." Amber raised her hand and pointed in a direction, pointing to a restaurant diagonally opposite.

The three big characters "Yunting Pavilion" were written in a flamboyant style on the plaque.

This restaurant is very famous in Beijing. It was opened by Prince Shun's Mansion and usually entertains children of noble families.

A familiar face peeked out of a window on the second floor of the restaurant. It was Chu Yunyi.

Chu Qianchen blinked, and saw Chu Qianhuang and Gu Nanzhao also sticking out half of their faces, and Chu Qianhuang waved at her.

Didn't Chu Qianhuang enter the palace? This was Chu Qianchen's first thought, and then she realized belatedly that she didn't wear a veil today.

Now, even if she went to buy a veil, she would definitely not be able to go to Jishidiang again, after all, her bright red dress was too eye-catching.

This place is only one street away from Jishidiang. If she just left like that, it would be too deliberate and people would think too much and even speculate about her original destination.

Chu Qianchen thought about it and said to Amber, "Let's go over and take a look."

Amber naturally agreed and followed Chu Qianchen into Yunting Pavilion.

Chu Yunyi has already sent his servant down to pick up Chu Qianchen.

"Second Miss, please come this way." The servant led Chu Qianchen to the private room on the second floor and reminded her tactfully, "The eldest lady, the eldest young master, the second prince, and the third princess are out for fun today."

I mean, there are quite a few people here today.

There were eight or nine people in the Lan-style elegant seats, most of them were of similar age and dressed in luxurious clothes.

Chu Qianchen didn't recognize most of them except the Chu family and Gu Nanzhao. At this age in her previous life, she hardly left the house. After being kicked out of the house, she just stayed with the prince.

From the capital to the north.

It was not until the capital was conquered by Qin Yao's army that she returned here...

"Second sister, what a coincidence." Chu Qianling smiled slightly, with a sarcastic tone in her voice.

She still had the veil on her face, and her eyes were fixed on Chu Qianchen, but she did not dare to attack because of the other people present.

Everyone in the private room looked towards Chu Qianchen. Some stared with eyes wide open in amazement, some showed praise, and some had a hint of jealousy in their eyes...

"This is my second sister." Chu Qianhuang said immediately, and introduced Chu Qianchen to everyone with a smile, and also introduced the people present to Chu Qianchen, "Second sister, this is the Third Princess, the Prince of Shun, the Princess Changning, the Second Young Master of the Marquis of Jing'an..."

"Sister, you are so beautiful!" The third princess praised innocently.

The third princess was about thirteen years old. She wore a pink skirt and had cute double spiral buns. Her heart-shaped face was embedded with a pair of big almond eyes. Her eyes were clear and bright, and her smile was pure and innocent, just like a clean piece of white paper.

Everyone in the private room couldn't help but look at Chu Qianchen twice more.

The Third Princess was right, this Miss Chu was indeed very pretty.

The color red is very picky, and the fiery red that Chu Qianchen is wearing is the best among them. The bright color is like a flaming flame. If the owner cannot control it, the person will become a foil to the clothes, and the clothes will rob him of his brilliance.

This bright red jacket looks really good on Chu Qianchen.

The pair of bright and shining eyes, red lips and jade teeth, the black hair and the fiery red clothes set off her skin as white as cream.

She exuded a dazzling aura like a ruby, and she overshadowed Chu Qianhuang, who was also wearing a fiery red dress, making it difficult for people to look away.

Seeing that Chu Qianchen had become the focus of everyone's attention, Chu Qianling pursed her cherry lips tightly behind her veil.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness." Chu Qianchen bowed to the Third Princess generously.

Amid so many scorching gazes, she remained calm and cool as water.

Chu Qianhuang's gaze shifted from Chu Qianchen to Amber behind her. She saw that Amber was carrying a green cloth bag. From the outline of the bag, she could vaguely see that there was a bow-shaped object inside.

"Second sister, is this your new bow?" Chu Qianhuang asked with a smile.

Chu Qianchen's eyes moved, and he said, "I found someone to make two bows."

"Two? Could it be that one is for Brother Yi?" Chu Qianhuang curled the corners of her lips and looked towards Chu Yunyi again.

Chu Yunyi's pupils brightened slightly.

Since Chu Qianchen wanted to reconcile with him, he could reluctantly accept it.

Don't want to, Chu Qianchen shook his head, "One bow is mine, and the other is for Brother Mu."

Chu Yunyi felt like he was slapped in the face, and his face was burning.

Who is her biological brother?

Last time she knocked herself to the ground, ran away, and ignored him since then.

He had been waiting for her to come and admit her mistake, but after one day, two days, and three days, she didn't come, as if she really didn't intend to acknowledge him as her biological brother.

“……”Chu Qianhuang was also a little surprised. She really thought that Chu Qianchen made two bows in order to reconcile with Chu Yunyi.

Chu Qianhuang's eyes darkened a little, and her hand under the table clenched the handkerchief.

Originally, Chu Qianchen was just an insignificant concubine in the Marquis' Mansion, and no one cared about her existence at all.

However, during the time when she entered the palace as a companion in March and April, Chu Qianchen took advantage of the opportunity, and even her mother gradually began to value Chu Qianchen.

Now, Chu Qianchen was even more blatantly competing with me, competing with me for my mother, competing with my brother...

She didn't even think about the fact that she was just a concubine's daughter.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

There was a dark tide in Chu Qianhuang's eyes, the annoyance in her heart was rising, and the veins on the back of her hands were bulging.

She seemed to be surprised and asked: "Second sister, you don't give it to Yi Ge'er, but only to Mu Ge'er?"

"Brother Mu has been telling me a few days ago that you are a great archer, but I don't know when you learned how to shoot a bow."

Chu Yunyi was not very happy and said, "She only knows a little bit of knowledge at most, just for show."

Chu Yunyi and Chu Qianchen were not close since childhood, but at least he knew that Chu Qianchen had not learned riding and archery from Master Wu, unlike Chu Qianhuang who was not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also mastered the six arts like a man.

Chu Yunyi couldn't help but keep glancing at Chu Qianchen. In the past, she always wore plain clothes. This was the first time he saw her wearing red, and also the first time he saw her go out...

Chu Qianchen glanced at him casually and said slowly: "It's true that you only know the basics, but it's enough to teach you a lesson."

Chu Yunyi immediately recalled the scene of being thrown to the ground by her that day...

He felt some pain in his back and was a little embarrassed, but there was a strange excitement in his heart, as if a voice was saying, his sister is like this?

Afterwards, Chu Yunyi thought over and over again about why he was knocked over by Chu Qianchen. He thought that it was because he was angry and underestimated his enemy, and Chu Qianchen must have used some tricks.

If he had been more careful and didn't let her grab his wrist, she would never have been able to throw herself out!

Prince Shun winked and teased, "Yun Yi, your sister said she wanted to teach you a lesson!"

Several other young men also joined in the fun, with teasing smiles on their faces.

Chu Yunyi was a young man full of youthful vigor and he cared a lot about his reputation. He felt embarrassed and annoyed, and his face became even redder.

Chu Qianling looked back and forth between Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang without making any expression.

In the past, she was confused by the situation and was foolish enough to be used as a gun by Chu Qianhuang. Now, she has come to her senses and can see clearly that Chu Qianhuang really does not like Chu Qianchen. He used to sow discord between her and Chu Qianchen, and now he is trying to sow discord between Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunyi.

Chu Qianling curled her lips in mockery. No matter what Chu Qianhuang was thinking, at least their goals were the same. Chu Qianhuang used her in the past, and now she could also use Chu Qianhuang.

Chu Qianling suddenly said, "Big brother, I always hear my uncle praise your archery skills. Today I want to see who is better, you or my second sister."

She looked smiling, as if she was imitating others to make fun of her, looking cute and adorable.

Gu Nanzhao has always loved beauty, especially girls who are delicate and pretty. The reason why he likes Chu Qianchen's sword dance is because of the line "Once there was a beautiful lady named Gongsun, whose sword dance moved all directions."

Bending the bow and shooting the arrows does not have the beauty of sword dancing. It is rigid and rough. Gu Nanzhao would definitely not like it.

Chu Qianling glanced at Gu Nanzhao calmly with the corner of her eye, and sure enough, she saw that he frowned slightly.

Seeing that Gu Nanzhao seemed to be about to object, Chu Qianling hurriedly asked, "Brother, what do you think?"

Amid the jeers, Chu Yunyi's youthful spirit came to life. He puffed out his chest and looked at Chu Qianchen, their eyes meeting.

"Then let's give it a try and see who will teach whom a lesson!" Chu Yunyi said provocatively. He felt that he must let Chu Qianchen know today that what happened that day was just a "coincidence".

He is not that weak!

Chu Qianchen responded indifferently: "Then let's compete."

The third princess clapped happily and said, "Sister, you must win!"

“……”Chu Yunyi’s face froze.

Prince Shun exchanged glances with the other princes and ladies and became even more excited.

Princess Changning quickly asked someone to call the waiter over and told him to set up a target in the backyard.

Yunting Pavilion is the property of Prince Shun’s Mansion, so the waiter immediately responded.

On weekdays, when these young men come here to play, they often play games such as throwing pots, archery, and sword dancing. The restaurant also has weapons such as bows and arrows and targets.

The group immediately left the restaurant, went out through the back door and headed towards the back garden.

Yunting Pavilion is not just the restaurant facing the street. There is also a small garden, a small lake, a teahouse, several pavilions, and so on behind the restaurant.

The crowd surrounded Gu Nanzhao and the third princess like stars surrounding the moon and headed towards the east garden.

Beside a clear lake, willow trees stretch their branches obliquely toward the lake, and their leaves flutter freely in the spring breeze.

In the garden, the early summer sunshine is bright and brilliant, the flowers are in full bloom, bees and butterflies are flying among the flowers, and the subtle fragrance is in the air, making people intoxicated without even drinking.

Chu Qianling suggested with a smile: "The sun is shining brightly today, let's go to the pavilion and watch them compete."

As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily turned to Gu Nanzhao.

Today, Gu Nanzhao wore a dark blue brocade robe with the Eight Immortals pattern, a waist belt inlaid with jade embroidery, and his raven-blue hair was fixed with a bamboo jade hairpin, revealing his smooth and full forehead, and his black eyes were as clear as the stars in the sky.

The whole person looks elegant, noble, and gentle like jade.

Chu Qianling looked at him with a hint of fascination in her eyes. In her eyes and heart, there was only the boy's handsome face.

She hasn't seen him since her grandmother's birthday party, until today!

Therefore, when Chu Qianhuang sent someone to pass a message to her, she accepted it without hesitation. She knew that Chu Qianhuang was trying to show her goodwill, but so what? Only with Chu Qianhuang around would she have the chance to meet her cousin.

"Cousin." Chu Qianling called out, wanting to talk to Gu Nanzhao.

However, Gu Nanzhao pretended not to hear anything, his eyes were fixed on Chu Qianchen outside the pavilion.

Chu Qianchen had already stood a hundred steps away from the target. The bow she used was of course the Jurchen bow that Gu Jue had given her, while Chu Yunyi's bow was borrowed from Yunting Pavilion.

Chu Qianchen casually pulled the bowstring, with a nonchalant smile on his lips, and said to Chu Yunyi: "How about we try something different?"

It was obviously a very simple action, but when she did it, it felt very cool.

Lazy and arrogant, elegant and cunning.

In Chu Yunyi's eyes, this was nothing short of a provocation, so he asked back without saying anything, "How do you want to 'play'?"

"I will shoot whatever you shoot." Chu Qianchen casually flicked the bowstring again, and the bowstring made a buzzing sound.

Chu Yunyi raised his chin proudly, "I don't take advantage of others!"

Chu Qianchen readily changed his words: "Then you shoot whatever I shoot."

Chu Qianchen's tone was very casual, but Chu Yunyi felt like a unreasonable child for a moment.

He felt a little uncomfortable, as if he had been fooled, but since things had come to this point, he couldn't go back on his word and just agreed, "Okay." He thought to himself: Anyway, he was confident in his archery skills.

Chu Qianchen immediately shot the first arrow, aiming the tip of the arrow at the target in front of him.

“Whoosh!”

Before anyone in the pavilion could react, her first arrow had already hit the bull's eye.

She shot the arrow smoothly, and several people could not catch the trajectory of the arrow. They only saw the feather arrow that hit the center of the bull's eye trembling slightly.

Chu Qianchen put down his bow and stood quietly by the lake.

When the breeze blew, the long willow branches swayed beside her, and her dark phoenix eyes were bright and dazzling against the backdrop of the lake.

Chu Yunyi raised his eyebrows in surprise. Is his sister so powerful?

He calmed himself down, immediately drew his bow and shot his first arrow.

This arrow also hit the bull's eye.

Chu Yunyi curled his lips confidently. He won't lose!

An expert can see the trick. Prince Shun and others can all see that the archery skills of this second Miss Chu are definitely not superficial.

Everyone exchanged glances silently. Prince Shun waved his folding fan and said casually, "Miss Chu, your sister is really a person who can't be judged by appearance."

Chu Qianhuang's eyelashes trembled, and she smiled and said, "My second sister is amazing."

The third princess clapped her hands for Chu Qianchen.

While they were talking, Chu Qianchen had already taken out the second feather arrow.

This time, she was no longer aiming at a target, but a poplar tree on the other side of the lake.

"This arrow will hit the hole in the tree trunk."

As she spoke, the second arrow was shot out. The feathered arrow flew across the lake like lightning and accurately hit the longan-sized hole in the tree trunk.

Princess Changning opened her mouth slightly, "This... is about two hundred steps away, right?"

Yes, at this moment, Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunyi were at least two hundred steps away from the poplar trees across the lake.

The folding fan in Prince Shun's hand stopped.

Chu Yunyi's expression became more serious, and his eyes became deep.

He knew that if he wanted to win, he had to give it his all and not slack off at all.

He doesn't want to lose!

"call out!"

Soon, Chu Yunyi's second arrow also flew out.

When the arrow flew over the lake, it brought up a slight breeze, and even the surface of the lake seemed to be rippling.

The feather arrow also hit the tree hole the size of a longan.

"With the next arrow, I will hit a poplar leaf." Chu Qianchen said as he took the third arrow.

This short sentence is still so understated, yet it reveals a kind of confidence that one is well-prepared.

At this moment, no one present doubted her, and almost everyone felt that—

If she says it, she can do it.

Her third arrow really hit a poplar leaf, and what shocked Chu Yunyi even more was that this arrow once again shot into the tree hole.

Did she do that on purpose?

Chu Yunyi couldn't help but look at Chu Qianchen. Chu Qianchen casually took a handkerchief and wiped his delicate and white fingers.

She stood there leisurely, the wind slightly lifted her skirt, which fluttered like a butterfly. The girl's eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, she was as delicate as an orchid, yet as tall as a bamboo, and she exuded a contradictory aura.
