"Sister Chen is indeed smart." Shen sighed with a smile, "You have to do the whole act. Nanny Chen, go pack up, we will go to my hot spring manor tomorrow."
"Brother Mu has been complaining about being bored lying in bed lately. It would be nice to take him out for a walk to relax."
"Send someone to tell Sister Chen to go with us."
Nanny Chen agreed to all the requests and immediately ordered the maids to pack up quickly. She also went to Wanyan Courtyard in person to deliver the message.
By the time Nanny Chen left Wanyan Courtyard, a loud night watchman's bell was heard in the distance, and it was already the first watch.
After seeing off Nanny Chen, Amber asked happily, "Miss, do you want to pack your things?"
In Amber's opinion, the lady treats the girl much better than Aunt Jiang.
It's better that my daughter is willing to be close to Madam than that she only had eyes for Aunt Jiang in the past.
To be disrespectful, Aunt Jiang is always pretentious and acts like a sickly girl in front of the girl all day long, which is annoying to watch.
Chu Qianchen was sitting in front of the dressing table fiddling with the medicine bottle. He shook his head and said, "No need."
She had just washed and combed her hair, washing away all the blood and dirt on her body, and there was still moisture on her thick black hair.
Amber was wringing her hair dry, and when she said it wasn't necessary, she didn't rush to get ready and asked curiously, "Young lady, aren't you going to go with the Madam?" The young lady had clearly just promised Nanny Chen.
Chu Qianchen looked at the amber reflected in the diamond-shaped mirror and smiled meaningfully, "No hurry."
"..." Amber seemed to understand but not quite.
Chu Qianchen added, "Mei'er will be entering the mansion tomorrow."
She stopped there and then lowered her head, looking at the medicine bottles on the dressing table in distress.
Only less than one-tenth of the medicine for the Dazao Pills was collected. The prince's illness was caused by trauma, and removing the fragment of the arrowhead would only cure half of the disease.
The real trouble is the internal injuries...
Although at this time in her previous life, the thirteen-year-old girl knew nothing about the outside world and had no idea what had happened in the court.
But now, she is not as blind as she was in her previous life, and she has been going out frequently these days. Of course, she has also heard about how the emperor failed to intimidate the prince and ended up losing face.
The emperor's biggest concern was the tiger talisman.
All over the capital, every pair of eyes are staring at the prince. How can his injuries heal if he works so hard?
Chu Qianchen bit his lower lip slightly, feeling somewhat troubled.
In fact, according to her, it would be best for the prince to put everything aside and rest for a year or so, slowly recuperating and healing himself.
Obviously, this is impossible!
Therefore, Dazaowan is still indispensable.
Chu Qianchen casually played with one of the small porcelain bottles, his phoenix eyes slightly focused.
The reason why she reminded Nanny Chen just now was because she was returning the favor to her stepmother who protected her in front of her father.
For the emperor, whoever can get this tiger talisman from the prince for him will do a great deed.
His father had just been punished, and now he must be planning to show off in front of the emperor, but the Yongding Marquisate had been in decline since his grandfather's generation, and the only one he could rely on was the Shen family.
At this time in her previous life, her father was like heaven to her;
But now, without the admiration she once had, when she looks at her father now, she can see clearly the calculations of interests in his eyes and heart.
Chu Qianchen put the small porcelain bottle back on the dressing table and yawned lazily.
Her daily routine was very regular. She would wake up on time in the morning without being called, and go to Rongfu Hall at the same time as usual.
But he was stopped outside the main hall.
Not only her, but everyone else was also standing in the corridor, looking at each other.
In Chu Qianchen's memory, this is the first time.
When she arrived, she heard Second Madam Liu say in a shrill voice to Nanny Wang beside the Dowager Madam, "Nanny Wang, what important matter do mother and sister-in-law have to discuss that has left us out?"
"Sister-in-law is really something. She didn't even send anyone to tell us so early in the morning. We could have come later."
There was obvious dissatisfaction in Liu's voice.
Nanny Wang said indifferently, "Second Madam, the Madam said that if you are tired of waiting, you can go back."
Liu: “…”
If she really left, wouldn't it mean that she was dissatisfied with the Madam? !
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Although she was indeed quite dissatisfied, after all, the weather in early spring was still cold, and leaving them here so early in the morning was not a big deal.
But we can't just walk away.
Liu looked a little embarrassed.
She happened to see Chu Qianchen coming as well, her eyes moved slightly, and she pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "Sister Chen, why don't I see you accompanying my sister-in-law today?"
"Sister Huang is not here. People in this mansion who don't know would think that you are the eldest sister-in-law's child."
As she spoke, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled.
She almost said directly that Chu Qianchen took advantage of Chu Qianhuang's absence to run to his stepmother to show his courtesy.
"My legs and feet are fine, so it's okay for me to stand for a while longer." Chu Qianchen didn't even raise his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Aunt, how is your back these days? It must hurt if you stand for a long time."
Liu's face froze, and she couldn't help but think of what happened last time. Her back and waist seemed to start to hurt again...
She shuddered and glared at Chu Qianchen fiercely. This girl is such a bad-mouthed person!
Chu Qianchen stood in the corridor with his head lowered and his eyes submissive, calm and composed, as quiet as water.
The spring breeze blew from time to time, making the girl's skirt flutter like a butterfly. She just stood there quietly, like a flower bud on a branch smiling and blooming, exuding fragrance.
Amber left quietly for a while and soon came back. She whispered to Chu Qianchen, "Miss, the Madam brought Mei'er here early in the morning."
Bi Ya, a second-class maid who served tea in Rongfu Hall, was Amber's cousin. She had a rash on her face a few days ago and was almost sent home. It was Amber who asked Chu Qianchen for a box of ointment for her. After Bi Ya used the ointment once, her face was completely healed. Bi Ya was so grateful to Chu Qianchen.
What Amber asked about was not a secret, so Bi Ya whispered a few words to her.
It was indeed for this matter. Chu Qianchen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he thought: My stepmother is really quick.
After Amber finished her report, she stood behind Chu Qianchen without saying a word. No one noticed the little movement between the master and servant.
"Big girl."
At this time, a little maid called out respectfully.
Everyone under the eaves looked over when they heard the sound, and saw Chu Qianhuang walking towards them gracefully from the entrance of the courtyard. She was wearing a red bodice embroidered with broken hibiscus flowers, and a bright red jacket and skirt underneath, which was bright and charming.
