Chapter 127 127 Means



Chu Qianchen slowly sat up from the beauty couch.

The beauty is as lazy as if she is drunk in spring. It is such a simple action, but when she does it, it has a casual elegance.

Seeing this, Nanny Yan was delighted, thinking that she had subdued Chu Qianchen.

She looked Chu Qianchen up and down with a critical eye, and sneered: "A concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter, it is difficult for her to enter the elegant hall. Do you think you can really become a phoenix by flying up to the branches?!"

Nanny Yan was proud at first, but when she said the last few words, she felt something was wrong.

Chu Qianchen didn't even stand up, just sat upright on the beauty couch.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone in through the window, and the girl was bathed in that golden-red glow, with a gentle smile and a calm demeanor. She was like a painting of a lady by a famous artist, so beautiful that it seemed beyond real.

Instead of standing up, she picked up the teacup and drank tea with an elegant posture.

Nanny Yan's face darkened even more, and she repeated word by word with a cold face:

"Miss Chu Er, please stand up!"

Chu Qianchen took a sip of hot tea, then slowly put down the teacup and said calmly: "Madame Yan, here, I am the master and you are the servant, kneel down."

Chu Qianchen stared at Nanny Yan, his dark eyes were like an unfathomable ancient well.

An aura of intimidation lingered around her.

Nanny Yan was shocked and felt that the girl in front of her was completely different from the one she had first met in Shouning Palace.

Nanny Yan quickly calmed down and said to herself, even if this Miss Chu is a bully at home, so what? !

She was the nanny "given" by the empress dowager, and she was the emperor's person. With the support of the emperor and empress, what did she have to be afraid of!

"Miss Chu, what's your attitude?" Nanny Yan ignored Chu Qianchen and continued to lecture him, "I'm here to teach you the rules on the orders of the Queen Mother."

Her voice rose a few notches, "You are a concubine's daughter, and you are not worthy of His Royal Highness Prince Chen. This marriage is too high for you. If your horoscope was not suitable, it would never have been your turn!"

"With your status, when you marry into Prince Chen's mansion in the future, who among the royal family will look up to you?!"

"The Queen Mother gave me to you because she was afraid that you would be unruly and bring shame to His Royal Highness Prince Chen in the future. His Royal Highness Prince Chen is extremely noble, and you are like heaven and earth to him. With your unruly and unmannerly appearance now, standing beside His Royal Highness Prince Chen, I'm afraid you are not even as good as his maid."

"Miss Chu Er, you must cherish the Queen Mother's painstaking efforts!"

Nanny Yan deliberately belittled Chu Qianchen, trampled her into the mud, and undermined her self-esteem and confidence.

Chu Qianchen is just a little girl who is not even fourteen years old. She is a concubine's daughter and her status in the marquis's mansion is definitely not as good as that of the legitimate daughter, especially the eldest legitimate daughter Chu Qianhuang.

Chu Qianchen had never even entered the palace before May this year, which shows how much she had suffered from contempt since she was a child, and she was used to being belittled and ignored.

For a little girl like this, if I just grab her sore spot and step on her hard, if she still has a little self-respect, she will not be able to hold her head up.

However, even though Nanny Ren Yan spoke eloquently, Chu Qianchen still smiled slightly and drank her tea.

She was somewhat disappointed with Nanny Yan: if she investigated a little, she would know that the prince had no maids serving him at all. Nanny Yan didn't even check this clearly, yet she dared to fool people with her lies. She really did not do her job well!

Her expression was filled with disappointment and ridicule.

“…” Nanny Yan’s mind was a little confused, and that feeling of “something is not right” came up again.

Wasn't what she just said correct?

Nanny Yan frowned and couldn't help but think carefully about what she had just said.

Seeing that Nanny Yan stopped talking, Chu Qianchen put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at her indifferently.

I mean, keep talking.

A pair of eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars, so bright that it was shocking.

Nanny Yan was irritated by her look and exploded like a lit firecracker. She shouted angrily, "How dare you!"

"Miss Chu Er, what's your attitude now? Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said to you?!"

After she said this, Nanny Yan regretted her impulsiveness.

In the past, when she was training the new palace maids, she would always adopt a superior and detached attitude and wait for the other party to admit their mistakes first. Now she lost her composure first, which meant that she lost her patience and was suppressed by Chu Qianchen.

In the first contest between her and Chu Qianchen, she actually ended up at a disadvantage.

Nanny Yan was very upset, but once words were spoken, they could no longer be spoken. Having said that, she could only give Chu Qianchen a warning and let her learn a lesson.

Nanny Yan put on a strong attitude and said in a more firm tone, "The Queen Mother asked me to teach you the rules, Miss Chu. Since you don't obey, I will punish you with ten strokes of the ruler!"

If Chu Qianchen is disobedient and refuses to be disciplined, then I will beat her until she becomes obedient.

Nanny Yan had prepared a ruler a long time ago. The ruler was originally used to hit the corresponding parts of Chu Qianchen's body as a warning when his movements were not standard when learning the rules. Even Nanny Yan did not expect that the ruler would come in handy so soon.

Nanny Yan raised the ruler and said, "Second Miss Chu, stretch out your hand!"

Chu Qianchen smiled, and as if he hadn't heard anything, he ordered Hubo: "Hubo, go get me that copy of Hibiscus Fan. I've only read half of it."

When Nanny Yan heard this, she guessed that this "Hibiscus Fan" should be a storybook of that kind, which matched what Chu Qianchen said in Shouning Palace.

She is indeed a concubine's daughter who is not presentable! She frowned again, and she looked down upon Chu Qianchen even more.

Amber obeyed the order respectfully and hurried out of the east room.

The moment the curtain was opened, she couldn't help but look back at Chu Qianchen and Nanny Yan.

At first glance, the girl is weak and the woman is fierce, just like putting a rabbit and a jackal in the same cage.

"Miss Chu, I'm sorry." Nanny Yan took another step forward with the ruler in hand and said with a fake smile, "Today I will teach you some rules on behalf of the Empress Dowager."

Nanny Yan raised the ruler and hit Chu Qianchen hard on the shoulder, with a sneer on her face.

Unless the master ordered a slap in the face, the palace maids would never hit someone in the face.

Just imagine, whether it is a palace maid or a eunuch, if they were slapped in the face and had a black eye and swollen face, how could they serve their master!

The palace has its own way of beating people, hitting them where the blow is hidden under clothes and where it hurts the most!

Chu Qianchen was certainly not stupid enough to use her own palm to catch the other party's ruler. She suddenly made a move and pinched the acupoints on Nanny Yan's wrist.

Nanny Yan only felt her right hand go numb, and the ruler slipped out of her hand and fell steadily into Chu Qianchen's right hand.

Chu Qianchen grabbed the ruler with a smile and hit Nanny Yan directly.

This blow hit Nanny Yan's calf's Chengshan point hard and accurately.

Nanny Yan screamed "Ouch!", her legs went limp, and she staggered to her knees.

She was suddenly shorter than Chu Qianchen who was sitting on the beauty couch.

Hmm. This height is just right!

Chu Qianchen curled the corners of his lips.

"You dare to hit me!" Nanny Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Chu Qianchen and was almost going crazy.

She has been in the palace for decades. Except for the time when she first entered the palace, she was just a powerless little maid and had been bullied by those old maids or old maids who took advantage of their seniority. Later, she was promoted step by step and became a nanny. Anyone who saw her in the palace would call her "Nanny Yan" rudely. She has lived a smooth life in the past twenty years and has never been punished like this again!

In response to Nanny Yan's questioning, Chu Qianchen swung the ruler again.

“Bang!”

The second blow of the ruler hit Nanny Yan's spine hard, and she screamed like a pig being slaughtered again.

Nanny Yan gritted her teeth and made a sudden move, trying to snatch the ruler from Chu Qianchen's hand.

However, Chu Qianchen's movements were faster. With another "snap" sound, he hit Nanny Yan's forearm with the ruler in his backhand.

This time, it was really painful, so painful that she almost shed tears.

Chu Qianchen is a doctor. Apart from anything else, she knows best where it hurts the most when hit.

Moreover, the strength is moderate.

It hurts, but not enough to make people faint.

Zhongwan point, Quchi point, Zusanli point...

She hit the acupoints one after another, and the sound of the ruler hitting the boy rang out one after another.

“Snap! Snap! Snap!”

Nanny Yan started crying out in pain, then yelling and finally scolding.

"Miss Chu Er, if you hit me, you are hitting the Queen Mother's face!"

"Don't you even care about the Queen Mother?!"

“…”

Of course Nanny Yan wanted to escape, but Chu Qianchen hit her on the calf with the first blow, causing her to kneel on the ground and unable to get up, and her movements inevitably became a little slow.

After hitting him ten times, Chu Qianchen stopped.

Not one less, not one more.

The ten strokes with the ruler twisted Nanny Yan's old face. She looked at Chu Qianchen with hatred in her eyes, and she wished she could tear Chu Qianchen to pieces.

Seeing Chu Qianchen stop using the ruler, Nanny Yan jumped up from the ground like a hungry beast without a mother, raised her thick palm like a palm leaf fan and swung it towards Chu Qianchen's face...

She had suffered such a great loss at the hands of Chu Qianchen that she no longer cared about the rule of not hitting someone in the face.

Nanny Yan’s hands are quick, but Chu Qianchen’s hands are even quicker.

“Bang!”

She swung the ruler fiercely at Nanny Yan's wrist again...

Nanny Yan's pupils shrank. She was scared of being beaten and subconsciously withdrew her hand, waiting for the pain to come. However, she saw that the ruler in Chu Qianchen's hand just stopped an inch away from her wrist.

Chu Qianchen looked at Nanny Yan indifferently, calm and composed.

Her eyes seemed to be looking at Nanny Yan, but also seemed to be just looking at an ant. Her eyes seemed to be saying, How dare you think you can get out of my Five Finger Mountain!

Nanny Yan's pupils shrank slightly and her face turned pale.

What happened in such a short period of time, less than an incense stick of time, was beyond her imagination.

At this moment, she naturally understood that the temperament of the concubine's daughter in front of her was not as docile as she appeared in front of Queen Mother Yin. This was not a little white rabbit at all, but more like a leopard cub in rabbit skin!

She was alone in the Marquis' Mansion, powerless and without any strength, and could not get any good result at all.

Nanny Yan finally faced up to the reality. She stood up abruptly and took several steps back until she was within the attack range of the ruler. Only then did she feel relieved.

Chu Qianchen was still sitting on the beauty couch. Her slender, white, and delicate hands casually turned the ruler in her hand a few times, her movements flexible and agile.

Nanny Yan's eyes twitched, and for a moment she had an urge to snatch the ruler, but in the end she chose to take another step back.

She gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Since Miss Chu Er has such a strong idea, please forgive me for being stupid and unable to teach you."

She wanted to pretend to bow, but when she bent her knees slightly, the muscles all over her body were strained, and she gasped in pain.

"When I return to the palace, I will report to the Empress Dowager everything that happened here..."

She would definitely accuse Chu Qianchen in front of the Queen and the Queen Mother!

Nanny Yan happened to meet Amber who had just returned from fetching the Hibiscus Fan. Amber also heard Nanny Yan's words that she was going to go back to the palace to file a complaint. She smiled and ordered the maid behind her: "Close the door and the gate."

At Amber's command, the maids in the yard acted decisively without saying a word. Two maids quickly went out, closed the gate, and locked it.

Nanny Yan: “!!!”

Nanny Yan was simply stunned. She had never seen anyone dare to do this before? !

For a moment, Nanny Yan almost felt like she was trapped in a bandit's den. Is this Miss Chu Er crazy? !

Chu Qianchen's eyes were bright and her smile was as beautiful as a flower. Even the colorful sunset outside the window was overshadowed by her.

She said with a smile: "Here, I am the master and you are the servant."

"..." Nanny Yan's eyebrows twitched, and she felt that it was simply impossible to talk to Chu Qianchen.

She turned and looked at Amber and the maids behind her with cold eyes.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Their master is crazy, but they can't be stupid. She is the nanny sent by the Queen Mother, and even the lady of the Marquis's Mansion has to be polite to her!

She didn't believe that anyone in this mansion would dare to attack her, or stop her!

"Get out of the way!" Nanny Yan scolded Amber and the maids.

Without Amber's request, several maids formed a human wall in front of Nanny Yan.

Nanny Yan's face became even uglier. She waved her hand and pushed one of the young maids in blue, trying to force her way out.

The young maidservant in blue staggered when she was pushed by her, but the other two maids nearby immediately grabbed Nanny Yan from the left and right.

Nanny Yan was alone, and she could not fight four hands with her own two fists. She could not move at all. She was trapped in the room by these maids and could not escape even if she had wings.

Cold sweat was visibly oozing from her forehead, and a chill rose from the soles of her feet, overwhelming the pain all over her body.

She had lived for half her life and had never seen such a scene.

Nanny Yan raised her chin with a strong appearance and shouted, "Are you all so bold?!"

"I am the Queen Mother's man, do you want to die?!"

Nanny Yan's voice became increasingly shrill, and the chill in her heart spread rapidly. She thought to herself: This is not a bandit's den, this is simply a temple of madmen. Have these maids been bewitched by Chu Qianchen? How dare they do this! !

The sun outside the window was about to set, and the sky was dark and yellow, indicating that night was about to fall.

Amber had her back to the window, and her face looked a little gloomy in the backlight.

She looked at Nanny Yan and smiled, repeating Chu Qianchen's words slowly and steadily: "Nanny Yan, this is our young lady's yard. The young lady is the master and you are the servant."

She looked at Nanny Yan as if she was looking at a naughty child.

"..." Nanny Yan felt as if something had exploded in her head. There was only one thought left in her mind: They are crazy, they are all crazy!

When facing normal people, Nanny Yan felt that she could escape unscathed anyway, but when facing this group of lunatics, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, and the sweat on her forehead became more frequent.

Amber was too lazy to talk to Nanny Yan anymore and asked a maid next to her: "Agate, is Nanny's room ready?"

"Sister Amber, we're ready." Agate replied immediately.

Amber stretched out her hand to Madam Yan as if to ask for permission, "Madam Yan, please."

Nanny Yan felt as if she was carrying lead blocks under her feet, very heavy. She didn't want to stay and said in her dying struggle, "I want to go back to the palace!"

There was a hint of trembling in these four stiff words.

Chu Qianchen had already leaned back on the beauty couch and said lazily, "Humber, if she's too noisy, just give her the medicine in the small porcelain bottle in my room."

Medicine?! Nanny Yan's heartbeats beat twice more, and her heart almost jumped out. What medicine?! Is this Miss Chu II trying to kill herself?!

At this moment, Nanny Yan was really scared: If she really died here unclearly, the emperor would probably not punish Chu Qianchen. He might even want to marry such a cruel woman to Prince Chen to ruin his reputation!

Amber bowed coquettishly in response and took another step closer to Nanny Yan.

Nanny Yan seemed to be under some kind of coercion and staggered two steps back toward the outside of the house.

She felt a little embarrassed, and said in a hard voice, "Let's go!"

This time, there was no need for Amber to "invite" again. Nanny Yan opened the curtain and went out of the east room on her own. She could not hide her embarrassment in her steps and fled in panic.

Manju and others "escorted" Nanny Yan downstairs to "rest", and the room, which was originally packed with people, suddenly became much emptier.

Chu Qianchen yawned lazily and ordered: "Amber, reward each person with ten taels of silver."

The prince said that the way to rule your subordinates is to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments.

Amber took the order and went out with brisk steps.

In just a few months, Wanyanyuan has undergone tremendous changes, and everything is getting better and better.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was worried about the imperial marriage, but Amber was not. She knew that her daughter had her own ideas, and all she had to do was follow her.

If the girl doesn't get married, she will follow her; if the girl marries to Prince Chen's Mansion, she will also follow her.

Chu Qianchen leaned on the beauty couch for a while, then stood up and smoothed her slightly messy dress.

She went to so much trouble to ask Empress Dowager Yin to give Nanny Yan to her, of course it was not just to keep her under house arrest, this Nanny Yan had a more important use.

But before that, she had to be completely subdued.

Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled, then turned and went to the small study, where he spread out the paper and ground the ink himself.

“Meow!”

A little black cat with snow-white hooves poked its head out of the wicker cat bed and meowed in a baby voice.

"Yueying, be good." Chu Qianchen put down the ink stick, gently scratched the little black cat's chin, and then picked up the pen and began to write quickly on a piece of silk paper.

After putting down the wolf-hair brush, she shouted toward the window, "Xue Fengyan."

After the last word was uttered, Xue Fengyan, dressed in dark blue clothes, jumped down from a paulownia tree and appeared outside the window.

"Meow!" The little black cat was frightened when he saw the stranger and let out a trembling roar.

Chu Qianchen picked up the little black cat from the cat bed, held it in his arms, and gently stroked its head and back.

The girl is gentle and quiet, like spring water and delicate flowers.

If Xue Fengyan had not seen it with his own eyes just now, he would not have believed that the girl holding the ruler just now was the same person as Chu Qianchen in front of him.

Xue Fengyan looked at Chu Qianchen with a strange expression.

Although he could not follow Chu Qianchen into the palace today, he heard from the discussions of the servants in the Marquis' Mansion that Nanny Yan was the foster nanny appointed by Empress Dowager Yin.

Just now, seeing Chu Qianchen and Nanny Yan having a dispute, Xue Fengyan was worried that Chu Qianchen would suffer a loss, and was also afraid that the maids in the yard would not dare to take action against Nanny Yan, so he planned to take action secretly.

As a result, the development of the situation was completely beyond his expectations and there was no room for him to intervene.

Chu Qianchen easily gave Nanny Yan two warnings and subdued her.

This Miss Chu is a little too aggressive!

Xue Fengyan suddenly felt that what Su Mubai said was right. Perhaps it would not be a bad idea to let the second Miss Chu marry his own prince.

Chu Qianchen picked up the silk paper he had just written, handed it to Xue Fengyan and said, "It's not convenient for me to go out these two days. Go buy some medicinal herbs for me."

Xue Fengyan took the silk paper and glanced at the medicinal herbs written on it.

Chu Qianchen added an extra explanation: "This is for the Queen Mother."

Xue Fengyan had guessed that Chu Qianchen had met Queen Mother Yin in the palace today, but he was puzzled as to why Chu Qianchen wanted to prescribe medicine for the Queen Mother, and could not help but ask, "Is the Queen Mother ill?"

Queen Mother Yin is Gu Jue's biological mother, so Xue Feng and the others are of course worried about her body.

Chu Qianchen said bluntly: "There is something wrong with the Queen Mother's daily ginseng tea."

Xue Fengyan's expression changed slightly, and he immediately guessed who had tampered with Empress Dowager Yin's ginseng tea.

Chu Qianchen waved his hand and casually dismissed Xue Fengyan: "Don't ask too many questions, it's too long-winded, go quickly."

“Meow!”

The little black cat in her arms cried out again, as if agreeing with Chu Qianchen's words.

Xue Fengyan: "..."

Xue Fengyan looked at the man and the cat in front of him and turned around obediently.

With Chu Qianchen's medical skills, since she is not worried, then Queen Mother Yin should be fine.

Xue Fengyan climbed up the wall with the help of the sycamore tree and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the sun had completely set, night fell, and bright stars flashed in the night sky, surrounding a full moon.

Amber came in with a wooden tray and advised, "Girl, you should go to bed early tonight."

"It's okay. I still have to check Yueying's legs." Chu Qianchen waved his hand. "Anyway, grandma has exempted me from the morning and evening visits. I can sleep a little longer tomorrow morning."

It was just right that she didn't have to go to Rongfu Hall for the morning and evening visits. She could quickly prepare the pills for Empress Dowager Yin.

Chu Qianchen put the little black cat on the table, bent down to carefully examine its injured leg which was still bandaged, and then smiled with satisfaction.

Yes, Yueying recovered very well.

"So good!" Chu Qianchen rewarded the little black cat with a small piece of dried chicken, and then applied medicine to its wound again.

The little black cat was delighted when he saw the delicious jerky chicken. After eating it with a grunt, he started to act coquettishly towards Chu Qianchen.

The cries became more milky and softer, echoing with the chirping of insects outside the window, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet summer night as the night deepened.

On the other hand, Xue Fengyan, who left the Marquis' Mansion, did not rush to buy medicine. He first returned to Prince Chen's Mansion to inform others about the matter of Empress Dowager Yin and Nanny Yan.

He also took the opportunity to rest in the palace for a while and asked the palace's butler to prepare medicine for him.

Although Xue Fengyan was not proficient in medicine, he still knew something about some common medicinal herbs. Some of the herbs on the list given by Chu Qianchen were difficult to buy, but because the prince had been ill for many years, the palace had all kinds of medicinal herbs.

The chief steward went to the palace's warehouse and found all the herbs Chu Qianchen wanted. That night, the herbs were in Chu Qianchen's hands.

Amber felt distressed: Oh, my girl is so hard-working. When she was at the farm, she was busy making medicine for Prince Chen, and now she has to make another dose of medicine for the Queen Mother.

Chu Qianchen was in high spirits and started to make some preparations overnight.

For her, the prince's affairs are naturally the most important, and she is not tired at all.

There are no chapters, but the number of words is just as long as it is long. It's too troublesome to come up with two chapter names...
