The Queen sent out many invitations like snowflakes early this morning. Only the one for Princess Chen was kept by the Queen for the last. In order to make it solemn, she specially asked her to send it.

This Princess Chen is a thorn in the flesh, and she won't give face to anyone.

Nanny Shan was so attentive and thoughtful today because she was afraid that she had not done her job properly and that the other party would not be willing to attend the banquet, causing her to be scolded by the Queen.

It would be best if Princess Chen was willing to accept the invitation.

Nanny Shan sang the whole show and flattered Chu Qianchen, saying things like "The princess is graceful and magnanimous", "The princess will definitely add some color to the flower-viewing banquet", "The queen has always liked the princess", etc.

She herself was fine, but Amber got goosebumps after hearing what she said.

After staying for a cup of tea, Nanny Shan took the initiative to leave.

As soon as she left, Chu Qianchen took the note and went to the outer study to find Gu Jue, showed him the note, and considerately opened it.

Gu Jue put the document in his hand aside and glanced at the post casually.

"Your Highness, it's just right that I can go meet the Queen Mother." Chu Qianchen said in a cute manner.

She smiled, her smile as bright as a flower blooming in midsummer, lively but with a hint of pride, bright but with a hint of coquettishness.

I'm almost saying it, come and praise me!

Just by looking at her like this, Gu Jue's mood became very good, and a smile could not stop spreading across his face.

He also knew that others were keen to enter the palace, but his little girl was not. Her purpose of entering the palace and attending the banquet was simply for the Queen Mother... or rather, for him.

This little girl always puts him first, always making him feel that he hasn't done enough and that he must be better to her.

She deserves it.

Gu Jue stared at her straight, without blinking, his eyes were so focused.

At first, Chu Qianchen was very happy, smiling like a flower, feeling warm in her heart, and she wished that Gu Jue would look at her for a while longer.

In her previous life, when he closed his eyes before his death, her greatest hope was that he would open his eyes and look at her more, or even say one more word to her. Now, the prince is here, and he is doing well, and his health is getting better day by day...

But when Gu Jue's hand gently touched her cheek, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and suddenly she didn't dare to look at him.

Shouldn’t the prince touch her head?

Chu Qianchen felt his cheeks getting slightly hot.

She couldn't see her own face, but Gu Jue saw with his own eyes that her snow-white cheeks were gradually stained with the color of rouge, which reminded him of the scenes when he painted the girl in his painting stroke by stroke...

The smile in Gu Jue's eyes deepened, and he gently pinched her soft and smooth cheek, "Let's go."

He walked out of the study with his hands behind his back, and felt as if his fingertips still had the girl's warm and tender touch.

Chu Qianchen was a beat slower and followed him foolishly, raising his hand to touch his cheek that he had pinched.

Jingfeng and Amber, who were guarding outside the study, couldn't help but take another look at their two masters. They always felt that there was something different between them.

Jingfeng and Amber looked at each other in confusion. What on earth was wrong with their masters? The two walked side by side in silence for a long time.

When Chu Qianchen came to her senses, she found that she had followed Gu Jue to the house next door.

The young master of Fan Yan's family used to live next door, but after he recovered from his injuries, he was taken away by Su Mubai. Chu Qianchen didn't care and didn't ask. Now only the group of Hao people from Wuhejia Tower lived there.

When they arrived, Uhagalou was playing chess. The black and white pieces took up half of the board. The enemy and our side were fighting fiercely, and the black and white pieces fell one after another on the criss-crossed board.

But within two days, his complexion had improved a little, and at first glance he looked no different from an ordinary person.

People who don't know him can't tell that he carries a lot of national hatred and family feuds that can crush a person.

After the greetings, they sat down. Gu Jue never liked beating around the bush, so he got straight to the point and asked, "What are your plans for the marriage between the two countries?"

Yesterday, Gu Jue sent someone to tell Uhagalou that Uhadula had sent an envoy to Da Qi to ask the emperor to marry the princess.

Now Gu Jue asked this question just to know what Wuhejialou thought, whether he wanted to disrupt the marriage between the two countries or let it go.

Qinglai and others nearby all frowned, looking anxious.

Wuhaduluo had just ascended the throne, and the political situation in Dahao was not stable. Once Wuhaduluo secured the throne of Dahao and won over Daqi, it would be difficult for him to restore the monarchy.

The marriage between the two countries cannot be accomplished.

Qinglai and others wanted to talk but hesitated, but they knew that the current occasion was not appropriate.

Wuhejialou was calm and composed, with not even the slightest movement of his brows. His snow-white robe shone through the sunlight from the window, looking like a clear day after snow.

He put down another white piece, looked up at Gu Jue and said, "Let it be."

Gu Jue smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and sipped the hot tea.

Although he didn't say a word, people felt as if there was an invisible tacit understanding between him and Uhagalou.

Chu Qianchen didn't say anything after he sat down. His eyes fell on the chessboard, watching the game with interest.

Although Jialou did not have the chess manual in his hand, Chu Qianchen was sure that he was not playing chess with himself, but was recalling a chess game based on his memory.

She could tell at a glance that the black and white chess pieces had very different playing styles and it was impossible for them to be the work of the same person.

Wuhejialou was still setting up the chess pieces. As the black and white pieces fell one by one, Chu Qianchen raised his eyebrows thoughtfully and found that the black chess style was very familiar.

Gu Jue took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "Prince Andaman and other envoys should stay in the capital for some time..."

When he put down the teacup, the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe also fell down, and his every move exuded a graceful and elegant temperament.

The other people around felt an inexplicable chill rising from the soles of their feet. They vaguely felt that Gu Jue was planning something. The Prince of Andaman and others who were targeted by him would probably not have a good ending.

Wuhajialou remained silent, picked up a white piece and dropped it.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The crisp sound of the moves had already made his intention clear; everything depended on Gu Jue's arrangements.

At this time, Chu Qianchen finally looked away from the chessboard and said, "The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. Last time, she said that if it's not a full birthday celebration this year, then we won't have one. Eating longevity noodles will be enough. Prince, shall we pick a birthday gift for the Queen Mother?"

She raised her head and looked at Gu Jue with a smile, her eyes were clear and contained some profound meaning.

Gu Jue raised his hand and put his fist to his lips, chuckled, and said, "I'll listen to you."

His tone was light and clear, but Amber could hear the lingering affection in it.

Chu Qianchen smiled happily, pointed at the chessboard and asked, "My Lord, did you place the black piece?"

Wuhejialou: "..."

Gu Jue: “…”

Even Gu Jue showed a rare look of surprise, and almost wanted to ask her how she knew that, but then he smiled.

Isn't it "normal" that she can recognize it?

Gu Jue hummed softly, his eyes gentle.

Chu Qianchen smiled even more broadly, as if he had received great praise, and lowered his eyes to look at the chess game set up by Wuhejialou.

A person's chess style has its own characteristics just like handwriting. Of course, Gu Jue can also deliberately change his chess style, but the game in front of him was obviously played by Gu Jue according to his own wishes. His chess style is majestic, sharp and bright, especially in the overall situation.

In her previous life, Chu Qianchen and Gu Jue had played countless chess games. She knew Gu Jue's chess style very well and would definitely not make a mistake.

Chiang Rai and the others were stunned for a moment, then they remembered.

Could this chess game be...

"Blind chess." One of them blurted out.

"Blind chess?" Chu Qianchen knew nothing about this and asked curiously, blinking his beautiful phoenix eyes.

Gu Jue explained in just a few words, briefly telling about the blind chess game he had played with Wuhejia downstairs.

He appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with ripples of warmth, joy and satisfaction.

He suddenly wanted to play chess with her again and felt that he was once again left far behind by her.

He also wanted to get to know her better.

Seeing that they had finished discussing the serious matters, Chu Qianchen said to Wuhejialou, "Master, let me take your pulse."

As usual, she checked Wuhejialou's pulse, wrote a new prescription, reminded him of the precautions for decocting the medicine, and asked him to have a good rest. After that, she left with Gu Jue and returned to the Prince Chen's Mansion next door.

The first thing he did after returning was to call over Steward Sui.

"The prince wants to choose a birthday gift for the queen mother, and he will ask several treasure houses in the capital to come over tomorrow."

Sui Daguanshi: "..."

Chu Qianchen smiled and said, "Go ahead and do it. We don't need to hide things when we do things in Prince Chen's Mansion."

Steward Sui understood immediately that the princess wanted to spread the news to everyone in the capital.

Easy! This is much easier than keeping a secret! (End of this chapter)
