Rebirth as the post-GL
Work related
But the eyeballs of all the court ladies and eunuchs who were waiting to watch the fun almost fell out of shock.
In the entire House of Internal Affairs, who doesn't know that Eunuch Zhang, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, is the most bitter and difficult person in the entire House of Internal Affairs?For so many years, because he has a royal husband who is less than one person and more than ten thousand to support him, he dares to ignore even ordinary princes and princesses, and it is even easier to kill a disliked court lady and eunuch.
But what kind of evil wind is blowing today?This head of the House of Internal Affairs, with his eyes high above the top, is actually respectful to the four most unfavored princesses in the palace?All the maids and eunuchs stared blankly at Cangwu Jingyuan and Zhang Quan, rubbing their eyes hard, thinking that their eyes were wrong.
"What do you little bastards look at! If you don't do things well, are you waiting to be punished?" Zhang Quan said in a high-pitched voice, his eyes widened and he yelled at the surroundings, who were all terrified With a shake, he hurriedly continued with the work at hand, not daring to take another look.
After stepping into the room specially set aside by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the chief executive to rest, Zhang Quan drove out the maids and eunuchs who were cleaning the room, and then looked around the room to make sure that no one was around. Then he closed the door with a nervous expression on his face. Looking at Cangwu Jingyuan, he said, "Fourth Princess, what did you mean by what you said just now?"
Cangwu Jingyuan sat down on the grand teacher's chair in the room with a relaxed face, took the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for herself, sniffed it but didn't drink it, "Eunuch Zhang has been a slave in the palace for decades , can be regarded as an old man in the palace, he should know better than anyone else that a man outside the palace must be eunuched if he enters the palace as a slave!"
Hearing this, Zhang Quan's expression changed obviously, but he still insisted on saying: "I have been dealing with the internal affairs of the palace for 20 years, how could I not know about this kind of thing, I don't know why the fourth princess asked such a question. ?”
Cangwu Jingyuan raised her eyes to look at Zhang Quan, the corners of her lips slightly hooked, and said with a sneer, "Why do you ask this question? Eunuch Zhang, who allowed men outside the palace to mix men's and women's clothes into the palace as maids, should be better than anyone else. Everyone knows why I ask such a question!"
Zhang Quan originally thought that the four princesses in front of him only knew about Zhang Xiu, but he didn't expect that she even knew that Zhang Xiu was not a woman and his identity in the palace. Zhang Quan's face instantly turned pale.
But Cangwu Jingyuan didn't seem to be ready to let him go just like that.
After glancing at Zhang Quan, Cang Wu Jingyuan continued: "A fifteen or sixteen-year-old man can pretend to be a woman and stay in the palace for several years without being discovered. Presumably that Zhang Xiu must have both intelligence and means." What is outstanding. And you have specially arranged him to serve beside the empress, it is obvious what you have in mind!"
Seeing Zhang Quan's face gradually turning pale, Cang Wu Jingyuan's tone suddenly became sharp, and she said in a deep voice: "Zhang Quan, you are not satisfied with working with the emperor's husband, and you are still going to make your mind on the queen? How dare you It's too big!"
Hearing this, Zhang Quan knelt down in front of Cangwu Jingyuan with a plop, and said bitterly: "Princess Mingjian, that Zhang Xiu is indeed a man, but he is not the son of a servant, but the queen who was with me outside the palace." The heir born to an old acquaintance, I couldn't bear the begging of my seriously ill friend, so I took the risk of bringing him into the palace to accompany his biological mother for a while, please forgive me. As long as the princess doesn't report on the slave, the slave will I am willing to do anything for the princess.”
Before rebirth, when the queen was appointing the heir to the throne, Zhang Quan suddenly made a mess for the queen with a natural son who was capable of both civil and military affairs. Naturally, Cangwu Jingyuan never forgot, so after her rebirth, she set the first wooden mark on Zhang Quan, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Zhang Xiu is the best weapon to restrain him.
Cangwu Jingyuan squinted her eyes, looked at Zhang Quan's cold sweating face and said in a deep voice: "Before, you used to look down on people and bully our weak Qingqiu Palace. This princess can remember clearly. Next What to do, Eunuch Zhang, you should be very clear about your ingenuity! Also, I advise you not to think about it, otherwise I can guarantee that your little secret has been passed on to my mother before you do it. It’s in my ears! If you don’t believe me, you can try it!”
"I don't dare..." Zhang Quan hurriedly responded with a look of relief.
Being able to spy out Zhang Xiu's identity under such a tight cover, Zhang Quan would not be so stupid as to think that Cangwu Jingyuan was just a useless useless princess.
He also understands that Cangwu Jingyuan came to him today, instead of going directly to the Queen to expose him, there must be a plan.In this kind of situation that can be traded, he is crazy to take the risk of his secret being exposed to the detriment of Cangwu Jingyuan!

Chapter 6
With her monthly salary and food guaranteed in the future, Cangwu Jingyuan put a 500 tael silver note that Zhang Quan handed over to her into her bosom, left the House of Internal Affairs and walked directly to the Chaoyang Palace where your husband lived.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the luxurious Chaoyang Palace, Cangwu Jingyuan heard a melodious sound of the piano.
Stepping into the courtyard, looking at the coquettish red plums blooming all over the courtyard and the noble king Shen Chen sitting in the gazebo playing the piano under the shade of the red plums, Cangwu Jingyuan stepped forward and sat on the stone bench opposite Shen Chen.
Seeing the bewitching tear mole in the corner of the man's eye and the seductive smile inadvertently evoked between the plump lips, Cangwu Jingyuan lowered her eyes and chuckled lightly.
This kind of man is poisonous, anyone who gets infected will be crushed to pieces, but the empress has never understood this truth, she insists on trapping him by her side, and one day she will always get his love, but before she is reborn, the empress waits until the end of her life However, this man still didn't even look at her.
She never loved her father at all, but she was also sadly unable to get the love of her sweetheart.Perhaps, this is retribution!
"What are you thinking?" A slightly lazy voice sounded softly, and Cangwu Jingyuan came back to her senses, only to realize that the sound of the piano had stopped while she was meditating, and the man opposite was lazily leaning on the stone pillar, deep He looked at her with some scrutiny in his black eyes.
Cangwu Jingyuan suppressed the emotional fluctuations in her eyes, looked at the man opposite, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled and said: "I'm thinking about how to make your gentleman willing to be my master."
"Master?" A little surprise flashed in Shen Chen's eyes, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want to learn?"
Cangwu Jingyuan stretched out her slender fingers, and lightly plucked the strings of the long piano on the stone table, and the crisp sound echoed in the courtyard, "I want to learn everything you know."
Ever since Cangwu Jingyuan stepped into the courtyard, there was always a man with a slight smile on his lips. When he saw Cangwu Jingyuan's hand caressing the strings, his smile finally shattered inch by inch, and he waved away Cangwu in anger. Wu Jingyuan held the banjo in her arms, and said in a deep voice, "Why do you think I will teach you!"
Cangwu Jingyuan looked at the ordinary nanmuqin carefully held in Shen Chen's arms, and Cangwu Jingyuan's deep black eyes suddenly became sharp, and she looked directly at Shen Chen and said coldly: "It's just because my father died because of you." die!"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Chen's eyes, which were still full of anger, instantly became dim. Looking at Cangwu Jingyuan, he said with a trembling voice: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Cangwu Jingyuan chuckled softly, "Oh! Don't you understand? If the queen hadn't known about your liking for my father, how could she have acquiesced in the servant king's attack on my father and let my father be ruined by a group of court ladies and eunuchs? Unbearable to be humiliated, I found a foot of white silk and hanged myself from the beam!"
Talking about her father, Cangwu Jingyuan's eyes were so cold that she could almost pierce Shen Chen.
Taking two steps forward and grabbing Shen Chen's front, Cangwu Jingyuan said coldly: "You know? Because of your stupid behavior, when I was young, I witnessed my father being imprisoned in the cold palace by dozens of court ladies and eunuchs." I also watched my father hang himself in front of me! Now you are hugging the piano suit left by my father so-called affectionate, but when you use this piano, have you ever thought about my father’s reason? Who will die!"
After a few words, Cangwu Jingyuan let go of the hand holding Shen Chen's collar, closed her eyes and tried to calm the anger in her heart, and after a long while, she calmly said: "Shen Chen, you owe me your life!"
After saying that, Cangwu Jingyuan turned around and left Chaoyang Palace.
After Cangwu Jingyuan left, Shen Chen seemed to be drained of all his strength in an instant, and sat down in the gazebo with a pale complexion, burying his head in his arms and holding the guqin in his arms, and sat in the courtyard all night.
The next morning, the sky was bright and clear.
Cangwu Jingyuan received three pieces of good news as soon as she woke up. One was to learn from Lu He that Bai Qian's fever had subsided after rest yesterday, and she would recover completely in a short time.Second, before dawn, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to sneak over two clean quilts and a few bolts of this year's new cloth, and also brought a lot of fresh ingredients such as melons, fruits and fish.The third is that Shenchen sent someone to send a message, asking Cangwu Jingyuan to go to him every day from tomorrow onwards.
Hearing these three happy events early in the morning, Cangwu Jingyuan was in a very good mood.Of course, it would be even better if the chattering Cangwu Jingrui could be absent outside the bedroom door.
Lu He handed the washed handkerchief to Cangwu Jingyuan and said, "Princess, the Fifth Prince has been waiting for you outside the door for half an hour."
"Please be well, please be well, why do you have to drag me along." Cang Wu Jingyuan took the handkerchief from Lu He and wiped her face indiscriminately, with a depressed expression on her face.
Before rebirth, the fifth younger brother avoided her like a plague. It was already very rare to see her not running away. Now that he was only reborn once, how could he be like a different person?
Through the window, Lu He looked at the fifth prince who was shivering and walking back and forth in the courtyard in the cold wind of early spring, and said with full of sympathy: "It's probably because the princess cheated the fifth prince of all the money this month, he couldn't be more angry. Haunting the princess."
After finishing a sentence, Lu He realized that she had said something wrong, covered her mouth, stared at Cangwu Jingyuan with a pair of almond eyes, fortunately Cangwu Jingyuan did not get angry.
Cang Wu Jingyuan raised her eyes and stared at Lu He, and unceremoniously tapped her on the forehead, raised her eyebrows and said: "You girl, I'm not lying, it's clear that he broke my swing first, I'm so It's a legitimate claim, but I think the few dozen taels of silver are too little!"
Lu He stuck out her tongue playfully, and couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.
Cangwu Jingyuan glanced at Luhe, shook her head helplessly, looked herself up and down in the bronze mirror, made sure that she had packed it properly, then pushed open the door and walked out.
"Why are you so slow, I'm almost freezing to death!" Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan coming out of the house, Cangwu Jingrui immediately went up to meet her, and complained as she looked at Cangwu Jingyuan with displeasure.
Cangwu Jingyuan glanced lazily at Cangwu Jingrui, "It's not that I asked you to wait for me, if you don't want to, you can go by yourself."
Keenly aware that Cangwu Jingyuan seemed to be a little displeased, Cangwu Jingrui immediately didn't dare to get angry anymore, and honestly followed Cangwu Jingyuan and muttered: "Who doesn't know that Bai Qian is afraid that you will be hurt when you greet the queen?" The other princesses bully me, and I will wait for you every time I pay my respects, I came to you to increase the chances of communicating with her, so that she can get back on the right path as soon as possible!"
Cangwu Jingyuan was about to say something, but his eyes caught a thin figure not far away, and he swallowed the words again.
Cangwu Jingrui followed Cangwu Jingyuan's gaze and found Bai Qian, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he happily ran towards Bai Qian.But the other party was obviously not in the mood to talk to him, and just glanced at Cangwu Jingyuan lightly, then walked straight towards the empress' bedroom.
Chapter 7
As soon as Cangwu Jingrui saw Bai Qian, like a bee seeing a flower, he jumped up a few times and asked like a cannonball: "Bai Qian, wait for me, let's go together! Your typhoid fever has healed." Is it? I see that your complexion is still not very good, how about I ask the kitchen to prepare ginseng soup for you today?"
Looking at Cangwu Jingrui who was chasing Bai Qian and chattering non-stop, and Bai Qian who was still waiting for her to pay her respects even though she was angry with her, Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of her lips and made a three-step gesture. Two steps to catch up.
Along the way, Cangwu Jingrui chattered non-stop between Cangwu Jingyuan and Bai Qian, which eased the awkward atmosphere between the two of them a lot.
On the pretext of asking Cangwu Jingrui to pick some peach blossoms for the queen, he sent away the nagging Cangwu Jingrui, Bai Qian stopped, looked directly at Cangwu Jingyuan beside him and said, "Take the puppet give me back."
She didn't expect that the first words she said to herself after recovering from her illness were actually this, but at least she had spoken to herself, so she should be content.
Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help chuckling, looked at Bai Qian who was still pale and said, "You haven't recovered from typhoid fever, and it's cold in the morning, so don't wear more."
"I'm asking when you plan to return my puppet to me." Obviously Cangwu Jingyuan failed to change the subject, Bai Qian still pursed her lips and asked stubbornly.
Bai Qian seems to be a talkative girl, and she is gentle and reasonable towards outsiders, but once she gets serious, she is definitely more stubborn than a cow.
But the ten years before Cangwu Jingyuan's rebirth were not in vain, the rogue smiled, "What you gave me is mine, you can take it back if you want, just spend money to buy it!"
After finishing speaking, Cangwu Jingyuan frowned and pretended to be contemplative, before saying solemnly after a long while: "Just with the first-class materials and excellent craftsmanship, it is worth ten thousand taels of gold or something, since we know each other I'll give you a discount for one game, and I'll sell it to you for 99 taels of gold, which is fair enough."
"Scumbag!" Listening to Cangwu Jingyuan's nonsense, Bai Qian gave Cangwu Jingyuan a gouging look and ignored her, striding towards the Queen's bedroom until the distance between her and Cangwu Jingyuan was far enough , when she couldn't see the expression on her face, Bai Qian couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of her lips.
The so-called greetings are nothing more than the time when the queen tests her children's recent academic progress. Among the children, those who are outstanding in their studies will naturally be rewarded, and those who are poor will inevitably be lectured.
Among the queen's dozen or so children, the ones with the best academic performance are naturally the future prime minister of Cangwu Kingdom, Bai Qian, and the third princess, Cangwu Lingxue.The worst ones are probably the eldest princess Cangwu Jinxiu who is domineering but not very good at thinking, and Cangwu Jingrui who idles around all day and does not learn countless things.
As for Cangwu Jingyuan and his like who stood at the end of the peace-seeking team, because of their low status and never being liked by the Empress, they were not among the candidates for the Empress to ask questions at all.
After being reborn once, Cangwu Jingyuan put many things aside.For example, the current scene where Cangwu Lingxue answers the Queen's questions fluently and is praised by the Queen, if it were the scene where she must have been jealous and painful before her rebirth, but now she can just sit on the sidelines and just watch the show.
The eldest princess made continuous mistakes when asking questions, which made the already excellent third princess Cangwu Lingxue even more brilliant. Naturally, the queen's reward was indispensable.
Sure enough, after listening to Cangwu Lingxue recite the next poem completely, and expressing her own experience, Longxin joyfully told the maid beside her: "The third princess's academic level has improved very fast, and I will appreciate one of the four treasures in the study room." Set, 100 taels of gold."
Hearing the reward from the Queen, Cangwu Lingxue did not thank her, but knelt on the ground and said in a respectful tone: "Mother, I already have several sets of the Four Treasures of the Study, and it would be a waste to add more. If possible, I would like to ask for other reward."
Perhaps Cangwu Cangwu Jinxiuxue performed really well today, the empress was not dissatisfied, she looked at Cangwu Cangwu Jinxiuxue and said, "Tell me, what reward do you want to ask for."
Cangwu Cangwu Jinxiuxue was overjoyed, and said in a respectful tone: "I feel that I am not good enough in schoolwork and other aspects, but I have heard that Bai Qian is proficient in everything, and I admire him very much, so I want to ask my mother to arrange Bai Qian for my son. The minister's accompanying reading."
Hearing this, the queen couldn't help frowning, and the entire Anning Palace fell silent for an instant.
Every princess and prince present knew that Bai Qian was extremely talented and a rare all-rounder. Together with his loyal family, he had almost secured the position of future prime minister. Listed as the No.1 choice for the future queen.
The queen was silent for a long time, looked at the third princess kneeling on the ground, and finally said, "The previous reward is still for you, as for the companion reading, the eldest princess and the fifth prince are far worse than you in schoolwork, and need to be improved even more, so let's do it! Let Bai Qian be the companion of the three of you, what do you think of Bai Qian?"
Bai Qian, who had lowered her head ever since Cangwu Lingxue brought up the matter of accompanying her, raised her head and looked directly at the queen when she heard the words, knelt on one knee and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "If the fourth princess Cangwu Jingyuan is also on the list of tutors, Then I am willing to be the companion of the three princesses and the prince."
As soon as these words came out, the gazes of everyone in the hall, including the empress, were all focused on Cangwu Jingyuan who stood at the end, with disdain, sarcasm, and contempt in their eyes.
Bai Qian had no choice but to smile wryly, she didn't provoke anyone, she just stood here and waited for the greetings to be over before leaving, but Bai Qian's words made her the focus of everyone's attention.
Seeing the sinister gaze cast by the eldest princess and the third princess, Cangwu Jingyuan's head suddenly became as big as a bucket.
The queen raised her eyes to look at her non-existent daughter at the end of the team, and then looked at the persistent Bai Qian, frowned slightly, but still said: "Forget it! Since you don't feel tired, then do what you want." Wish. However, the ugly words are up front, since you have taken over the job of accompanying the four princes and princesses, I will see the results at the banquet in the harem in March, otherwise, not only will there be no rewards, but I will punish you .”
Seeing the Queen let go, Bai Qian leaned forward to salute, "I will live up to your majesty's trust."
After the morning greetings, Bai Qian was left by the queen to play chess with her, while all the princes and princesses dispersed one after another. Although Cangwu Jingyuan was running away quickly, unfortunately, she was stopped by the eldest princess's people.
Cangwu Jinxiu, who was wearing a bright purple-pink dress, stepped forward, looked up and down at Cangwu Jingyuan with a face full of disdain, and said in a strange way: "Yo! Who am I talking about? Dare to use Bai Qian in the palace to seek The Queen's attention turned out to be the Fourth Sister! Tell me, how many hours did you kneel outside Bai Qian's Xueyang Palace before asking Bai Qian to intercede for you?"
Chapter 8
Although Cangwu Jingyuan was afraid of trouble, trouble had already found her door, so she naturally had no reason not to fight back.
Looking at Cangwu Jinxiu, who was wearing heavy make-up and wearing a pungent fragrance, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter if I kneel at the gate of Xueyang Palace for several hours, or hold my pale legs and beg, I want I won it myself, unlike you, the eldest princess, who will only wait for the charity from the third princess in obscurity."
Unexpectedly, Cangwu Jingyuan, who has always been cowardly, would openly refute herself, and what she said hit her sore spot, Cangwu Jinxiu was furious, and wanted to slap Cangwu Jingyuan with her hand, but the slap hadn't even touched her at all. , but Cangwu Jingyuan grabbed her wrist severely.
"You, what do you want to do? Is it possible that you still want to attack this princess in front of the Peaceful Palace?" Feeling the huge force from her wrist, Cangwu Jinxiu Xinya looked at Cangwu Jingyuan nervously and asked.
Cangwu Jingyuan slightly narrowed her eyes, leaned closer to Cangwu Jinxiu, although there was still a slight smile on her lips, but her tone was cold and piercing, "Before you do anything to me next time, please prepare to be disabled for half a lifetime, sister Huang." I don’t regret my fate, but the body of Huang Jie, who lacks arms and legs, is afraid that she will completely miss the throne in this life!”
Seeing Cangwu Jinxiu trembling with anger, but not daring to touch Cangwu Jinxiu, Cangwu Jingyuan threw off Cangwu Jinxiu's wrist, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, wiped her fingers carefully, and threw it on the ground. Without even looking at Cangwu Cangwu Jinxiuxue, she turned and left.
Bai Qian who happened to see this scene passing by, couldn't help shaking her head, a little helplessness flashed in Ru Mo's eyes.
She came out half a moment late in order to evade the Queen's invitation to play chess, but she never expected that Cangwu Jingyuan would cause such a big trouble.
Sighing softly, Bai Qian turned around and prepared to go back to the palace, but heard a sound of running behind her, stopped her footsteps, and turned her head to see Cang Wu Jingrui, whose face was flushed from the cold, running towards him excitedly come over.
"Sister Bai, why did you come out so soon? I thought I would wait for a long time! By the way, did you see the fourth sister cleaning up the elder sister just now? It's so enjoyable!" Cangwu Jingrui looked at Cangwu Jingyuan In the direction of leaving, he said excitedly, his eyes full of excitement and admiration.
Bai Qian tapped him on the head, and said calmly, "Do you still think the matter is not serious enough? Go back to the palace to study your homework, and make a fool of yourself in front of the empress in three months. Don't expect me to let you go."
As soon as he heard about the homework, Cangwu Jingrui, who was still excited, immediately withered, his handsome face wrinkled into a persimmon, looked at Bai Qian pitifully, and said, "Are there any other options? Such as horseback riding, archery, etc. , even if you let me embroider!"
Glancing at Cang Wu Jingrui, Bai Qian said indifferently: "Then you go to embroider." After saying that, she ignored him, turned around and walked towards her palace.
Cangwu Jingyuan wandered back to Qingqiu Palace, but she didn't expect to see a person in the palace who she thought would never come here again.
"It really flatters Cangwu Jingyuan to let a distinguished gentleman set foot in my broken courtyard!"
Hearing the cold and mocking voice from behind, Shen Chen said with a slight smile on his handsome face: "I am also a nobleman, regardless of etiquette, can you talk to me in the future without wearing a gun?" Great, sarcastic intentionally?"
Hearing this, Cangwu Jingyuan took two steps forward, looked straight at Shen Chen and said with a smile: "Shen Chen, who has always looked down on the theory of status and inferiority the most, now cares about these red tapes. In this case, Then Cangwu Jingyuan pays homage to your lord."
After finishing speaking, Cangwu Jingyuan leaned forward and prepared to salute.
The smile on Shen Chen's face finally shattered, he stretched out his hand to stop Cangwu Jingyuan, and said in a deep voice, "I'm here because you beat the eldest princess."
Cangwu Jingyuan shook off the hand that was holding her arm, narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Beating? Has anyone ever seen me beating the eldest princess?"
"She told me herself."
Cangwu Jingyuan looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Do you believe it?"
Looking at Cangwu Jingyuan, who was so arrogant and without the slightest fear in his eyes, Shen Chen really wanted to say something that would frustrate her, but in the end he sighed and said, "I don't believe it."
For the person who indirectly killed her biological father, Cangwu Jingyuan naturally wouldn't have any good words, raised her eyebrows and said: "Then why did you come to me!"
Shen Chen was so annoyed by her attitude, he gritted his teeth and said: "The imperial husband is not in the palace when he went to the temple to pray. In the past few days, I will take care of the affairs of the harem. The eldest princess came to my palace in person and said that you beat her. What do you want me to do!"
Hearing this, Cangwu Jingyuan chuckled nonchalantly: "What do you think about imprisoning the clan mansion? Or simply exile outside the palace and find a place in another palace or temple, and then send some killers to deal with it secretly?"
Shen Chen pointed at Cangwu Jingyuan with a livid face, and walked back and forth in the room for a few big steps, but in the end he didn't say anything, turned around and left Qingqiu Palace with a flick of his sleeves.
After Shen Chen left, the smile on Cangwu Jingyuan's face gradually dissipated. She went to the inner room and took out the puppet that was carved very similar to her from under the pillow. Showing a little tired.
Although it was accidental that the eldest sister hated her because of the accompanying reading today, but she had a deliberate act when she later had a conflict with the eldest princess.
Cangwu Jingyuan is not an impulsive person, she knows very well that the eldest princess who is backed by the imperial husband is definitely something she can't afford to offend now.If the emperor's husband hadn't come out of the palace to pay respects to the Buddha, even if Cangwu Jingyuan suffers a bit from today's incident, she would definitely not threaten Cangwu Jinxiu to cause disaster for herself.
However, if the harem is temporarily in charge of Shen Chen, then she is very likely to use this conflict to turn herself into Shen Chen's adopted daughter.
Shen Chen is now favored by the empress, if she is adopted under her name, then her future will be much easier.Back then when she ascended to the throne by stepping on many bones, and watched Bai Qian stain her hands with blood and bear the notoriety, she didn't want to go through it again...
Lengxiang came, and a cold voice sounded softly behind Cangwu Jingyuan, "What is the princess thinking about?"
Breaking free from the memories of the past, Cangwu Jingyuan turned her head to look at Bai Qian who was standing beside her, breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out her hand with a little animal-like aggrieved expression on her face.
Seeing her like this, Bai Qian sighed and stretched out her jade-like hand to hold her, and followed her strength to sit on the swaying wooden bed in Qingqiu Palace.
When she was young, Cangwu Jingyuan had always been very dependent on Bai Qian, and only when she was alone with Bai Qian, Cangwu Jingyuan, who was always indifferent in front of outsiders, would show some rare weakness and hesitation.
Gently resting her head on Bai Qian's shoulder, smelling the elegant fragrance of her body, her agitated heart slowly calmed down, Cangwu Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed her head against Bai Qian's arm again, He sighed softly, "It's good that you're still here."
Chapter 9
Although she knew that Cangwu Jingyuan made this kind of intimacy towards her only because of family affection or friendship, but Bai Qian's heart couldn't help beating a little faster, as if afraid of being heard by her, Bai Qian Pushing Cangwu Jingyuan's head away a little bit and looking at her, he said in a gentle voice, "Just now I saw your nobleman leaving Qingqiu Palace angrily, did he blame you?"
Not wanting to worry Bai Qian, Cangwu Jingyuan curled her lips and said with a smile: "Now that I have a lowly status in this palace, and today I offended the elder sister who is of high status, shouldn't I be reprimanded or something?"
Looking at Cangwu Jingyuan's playful smile, Bai Qian's worry turned into anger, and looked at Cangwu Jingyuan and said in a deep voice, "Do you know how serious this incident is? I thought you were also worried about it. Listless, but you still look heartless."
Seeing that Bai Qianzhen was getting worried, Cangwu Jingyuan hurriedly said: "Of course I know the stakes of this matter, but you don't need to worry about me, I will definitely make this matter into a trivial matter before the queen returns, but good?"
Seeing that Bai Qian, who usually seemed taciturn, told her that she was not playing, was about to start preaching again, Cangwu Jingyuan hurriedly changed the subject, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Didn't you be dragged to play chess by the queen? Why are you so Are you coming back soon? Are you still running to me like crazy about lovesickness?"
The words lovesickness and madness fell into Bai Qian's ears, Bai Qian blushed, and immediately grabbed Cangwu Jingyuan's ears rudely, and said angrily: "You don't want to talk nonsense anymore, believe it or not, I will grab you!" Rotten your ears."
Mingming was the most reluctant to beat herself up, and every time she insisted on beating someone, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled secretly, pretending to be wronged and shouted pain, as expected, Bai Qian immediately withdrew her hand, stared at Cangwu Jingyuan and said : "I was afraid that you would cause trouble, so I left because I was unwell. I didn't expect such a short time..."
Hearing that Bai Qian was about to teach herself again, Cangwu Jingyuan hurriedly begged for mercy, "Prime Minister Bai, Lord Bai, I already know I was wrong, if you talk about me again, I will be so guilty that I can only hang myself on the beam, let's get down to business How do you look?"
Gouging out Cangwu Jingyuan's eyes, Bai Qian said in a deep voice, "I'll send my maid in the palace to help you pack your things in a while, and you can move to live in my palace tonight."
Hearing this, Cangwu Jingyuan was slightly taken aback, then smiled lightly and twisted a strand of long hair from Baiqian's shoulders around her fingertips, said with a light smile: "I know what you are worried about, but I don't intend to go. "
Bai Qian frowned, "Do you know the seriousness of this incident?"
Cangwu Jingyuan raised his eyebrows, "So you are afraid that I will die in vain like my father in this deep palace, so you plan to take me to your palace, and you plan to carry everything for me and protect me?"
Bai Qian took a deep look at Cangwu Jingyuan, frowned and turned to look at the puppet she put beside her pillow, silent.
Seeing her like this, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled calmly, patted Bai Qian's hand comfortingly and said, "Why do you put on such an expression, as if I bullied you! The last time I fell into the water, I saw it all. I have never seen you look so disappointed! Or is it that you invited me to your palace this time because you actually want to plot against this princess?"
Thinking of the scene where Cangwu Jingyuan changed her clothes in her palace last time, Bai Qian's fair face flushed suddenly, she stared at Cangwu Jingyuan and said with shame and anger: "You, you are talking nonsense, how could I do that?" Do that."
Seeing Bai Qian's cheeks with a faint blush that looked delicate and charming, Cangwu Jingyuan was slightly taken aback, and after recovering, she found that Bai Qian, who was also a woman, would also be stunned, and couldn't help laughing at herself inwardly.
Then he changed his mind, sat upright, looked at Bai Qian with a rare seriousness and said, "Bai Qian, I know what you think about me, but now I'm not sure what kind of feelings I have for you. Before that, I I don't want to lie to you, and I don't want to give you any promises perfunctorily, so can you give me some time before I'm sure of my mind?"
Bai Qian thought that she would be rejected after expressing her love, and also thought that the two of them would be estranged from each other after that day in Jinghu, or even die forever, but she never thought that Cangwu Jingyuan would be willing to confirm her feelings , try to accept yourself.
Bai Qian's eyes couldn't help getting wet, and she didn't want Cangwu Jingyuan to see her tears, so she turned her face away, her voice was choked up but she said firmly: "Whether it's a year or ten years, as long as you don't personally refuse, I will wait for you." you."
After receiving Bai Qian's answer, Cangwu Jingyuan's heart gradually settled down. As long as she would not leave herself alone like before her rebirth, she would try to like her, even though her 15-year relationship was ruined, and she didn't know it herself. Will I fall in love with someone again...
Not wanting to be disturbed by all kinds of memories before rebirth, Cangwu Jingyuan got up and said, "Go, go to the kitchen. Zhang Quan sent a lot of good ingredients yesterday. I will cook for you today, so you can feast on it."
Hearing this, Bai Qian was taken aback, "How could Zhang Quan be so attentive to you all of a sudden?"
Cangwu Jingyuan blinked at Bai Qian, and said with a smile: "The mountain man has his own plan, let's talk about the details later while eating." Then he took Bai Qian's hand and pulled her up.
Looking at the hands they held together, the warmth from them seemed to be able to reach directly to the heart, a warm feeling flashed in Bai Qian's eyes, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Cang Wu Jingyuan and said: "Lvhe has taken care of you since you were a child, you know how to cook Learning to cook? I don’t want to have a stomachache when I go home before the typhoid fever is completely cured.”
Cangwu Jingyuan chuckled, "I'll be with you when you have a stomachache, so what are you afraid of!" After saying that, he dragged Bai Qian to the kitchen.
In the small kitchen of the Qingqiu Palace, Lu He washed two plates of chopped vegetables, a piece of fresh fish, a few eggs, and some pork, and put them on the chopping board.
Cangwu Jingyuan rolled up his sleeves and planned to show off his hands, but when he turned his head, he saw Bai Qian and Lu He standing aside, both looking at him worriedly, couldn't help but curled his lips into a chuckle, and didn't explain much, just directly Skillfully pour oil into the pan and start cooking.
Before rebirth, because Shen Ye loved food, Cangwu Jingyuan visited famous chefs everywhere to please him, and invited him back to the palace to learn cooking by himself, that cooking skill.After a few years, Cangwu Jingyuan, who is used to eating meals made by herself, has naturally become more picky. Now that there are ingredients, she must have a good meal.
With the sound of the shovel colliding with the iron pan and the sound of food being poured into the pan, the tempting aroma gradually spread throughout the kitchen.
Bai Qian, who is self-disciplined, tried her best to maintain her original casual appearance, but occasionally she still couldn't help swallowing secretly, while Lu He at the side was even more straightforward, running to Cangwu Jingyuan to stare at the ingredients in the pot , that way it's almost like grabbing it directly.
Finally, half an hour later, a plate of stir-fried lotus root, a plate of hot and sour potato shreds, a plate of braised sea bass, and a pot of kelp tofu soup with clear color and aroma were brought to the table.
Chapter 10
Almost without Cangwu Jingyuan's invitation, Bai Qian took the initiative to move her chopsticks, while Lu He, who was obviously drooling but still caring about the manners of a master and servant, also sat down under Cangwu Jingyuan's persistent order. The lower end raised the bowl.
I was about to move my chopsticks, but there was a
In the entire House of Internal Affairs, who doesn't know that Eunuch Zhang, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, is the most bitter and difficult person in the entire House of Internal Affairs?For so many years, because he has a royal husband who is less than one person and more than ten thousand to support him, he dares to ignore even ordinary princes and princesses, and it is even easier to kill a disliked court lady and eunuch.
But what kind of evil wind is blowing today?This head of the House of Internal Affairs, with his eyes high above the top, is actually respectful to the four most unfavored princesses in the palace?All the maids and eunuchs stared blankly at Cangwu Jingyuan and Zhang Quan, rubbing their eyes hard, thinking that their eyes were wrong.
"What do you little bastards look at! If you don't do things well, are you waiting to be punished?" Zhang Quan said in a high-pitched voice, his eyes widened and he yelled at the surroundings, who were all terrified With a shake, he hurriedly continued with the work at hand, not daring to take another look.
After stepping into the room specially set aside by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the chief executive to rest, Zhang Quan drove out the maids and eunuchs who were cleaning the room, and then looked around the room to make sure that no one was around. Then he closed the door with a nervous expression on his face. Looking at Cangwu Jingyuan, he said, "Fourth Princess, what did you mean by what you said just now?"
Cangwu Jingyuan sat down on the grand teacher's chair in the room with a relaxed face, took the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for herself, sniffed it but didn't drink it, "Eunuch Zhang has been a slave in the palace for decades , can be regarded as an old man in the palace, he should know better than anyone else that a man outside the palace must be eunuched if he enters the palace as a slave!"
Hearing this, Zhang Quan's expression changed obviously, but he still insisted on saying: "I have been dealing with the internal affairs of the palace for 20 years, how could I not know about this kind of thing, I don't know why the fourth princess asked such a question. ?”
Cangwu Jingyuan raised her eyes to look at Zhang Quan, the corners of her lips slightly hooked, and said with a sneer, "Why do you ask this question? Eunuch Zhang, who allowed men outside the palace to mix men's and women's clothes into the palace as maids, should be better than anyone else. Everyone knows why I ask such a question!"
Zhang Quan originally thought that the four princesses in front of him only knew about Zhang Xiu, but he didn't expect that she even knew that Zhang Xiu was not a woman and his identity in the palace. Zhang Quan's face instantly turned pale.
But Cangwu Jingyuan didn't seem to be ready to let him go just like that.
After glancing at Zhang Quan, Cang Wu Jingyuan continued: "A fifteen or sixteen-year-old man can pretend to be a woman and stay in the palace for several years without being discovered. Presumably that Zhang Xiu must have both intelligence and means." What is outstanding. And you have specially arranged him to serve beside the empress, it is obvious what you have in mind!"
Seeing Zhang Quan's face gradually turning pale, Cang Wu Jingyuan's tone suddenly became sharp, and she said in a deep voice: "Zhang Quan, you are not satisfied with working with the emperor's husband, and you are still going to make your mind on the queen? How dare you It's too big!"
Hearing this, Zhang Quan knelt down in front of Cangwu Jingyuan with a plop, and said bitterly: "Princess Mingjian, that Zhang Xiu is indeed a man, but he is not the son of a servant, but the queen who was with me outside the palace." The heir born to an old acquaintance, I couldn't bear the begging of my seriously ill friend, so I took the risk of bringing him into the palace to accompany his biological mother for a while, please forgive me. As long as the princess doesn't report on the slave, the slave will I am willing to do anything for the princess.”
Before rebirth, when the queen was appointing the heir to the throne, Zhang Quan suddenly made a mess for the queen with a natural son who was capable of both civil and military affairs. Naturally, Cangwu Jingyuan never forgot, so after her rebirth, she set the first wooden mark on Zhang Quan, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Zhang Xiu is the best weapon to restrain him.
Cangwu Jingyuan squinted her eyes, looked at Zhang Quan's cold sweating face and said in a deep voice: "Before, you used to look down on people and bully our weak Qingqiu Palace. This princess can remember clearly. Next What to do, Eunuch Zhang, you should be very clear about your ingenuity! Also, I advise you not to think about it, otherwise I can guarantee that your little secret has been passed on to my mother before you do it. It’s in my ears! If you don’t believe me, you can try it!”
"I don't dare..." Zhang Quan hurriedly responded with a look of relief.
Being able to spy out Zhang Xiu's identity under such a tight cover, Zhang Quan would not be so stupid as to think that Cangwu Jingyuan was just a useless useless princess.
He also understands that Cangwu Jingyuan came to him today, instead of going directly to the Queen to expose him, there must be a plan.In this kind of situation that can be traded, he is crazy to take the risk of his secret being exposed to the detriment of Cangwu Jingyuan!

Chapter 6
With her monthly salary and food guaranteed in the future, Cangwu Jingyuan put a 500 tael silver note that Zhang Quan handed over to her into her bosom, left the House of Internal Affairs and walked directly to the Chaoyang Palace where your husband lived.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the luxurious Chaoyang Palace, Cangwu Jingyuan heard a melodious sound of the piano.
Stepping into the courtyard, looking at the coquettish red plums blooming all over the courtyard and the noble king Shen Chen sitting in the gazebo playing the piano under the shade of the red plums, Cangwu Jingyuan stepped forward and sat on the stone bench opposite Shen Chen.
Seeing the bewitching tear mole in the corner of the man's eye and the seductive smile inadvertently evoked between the plump lips, Cangwu Jingyuan lowered her eyes and chuckled lightly.
This kind of man is poisonous, anyone who gets infected will be crushed to pieces, but the empress has never understood this truth, she insists on trapping him by her side, and one day she will always get his love, but before she is reborn, the empress waits until the end of her life However, this man still didn't even look at her.
She never loved her father at all, but she was also sadly unable to get the love of her sweetheart.Perhaps, this is retribution!
"What are you thinking?" A slightly lazy voice sounded softly, and Cangwu Jingyuan came back to her senses, only to realize that the sound of the piano had stopped while she was meditating, and the man opposite was lazily leaning on the stone pillar, deep He looked at her with some scrutiny in his black eyes.
Cangwu Jingyuan suppressed the emotional fluctuations in her eyes, looked at the man opposite, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled and said: "I'm thinking about how to make your gentleman willing to be my master."
"Master?" A little surprise flashed in Shen Chen's eyes, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want to learn?"
Cangwu Jingyuan stretched out her slender fingers, and lightly plucked the strings of the long piano on the stone table, and the crisp sound echoed in the courtyard, "I want to learn everything you know."
Ever since Cangwu Jingyuan stepped into the courtyard, there was always a man with a slight smile on his lips. When he saw Cangwu Jingyuan's hand caressing the strings, his smile finally shattered inch by inch, and he waved away Cangwu in anger. Wu Jingyuan held the banjo in her arms, and said in a deep voice, "Why do you think I will teach you!"
Cangwu Jingyuan looked at the ordinary nanmuqin carefully held in Shen Chen's arms, and Cangwu Jingyuan's deep black eyes suddenly became sharp, and she looked directly at Shen Chen and said coldly: "It's just because my father died because of you." die!"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Chen's eyes, which were still full of anger, instantly became dim. Looking at Cangwu Jingyuan, he said with a trembling voice: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Cangwu Jingyuan chuckled softly, "Oh! Don't you understand? If the queen hadn't known about your liking for my father, how could she have acquiesced in the servant king's attack on my father and let my father be ruined by a group of court ladies and eunuchs? Unbearable to be humiliated, I found a foot of white silk and hanged myself from the beam!"
Talking about her father, Cangwu Jingyuan's eyes were so cold that she could almost pierce Shen Chen.
Taking two steps forward and grabbing Shen Chen's front, Cangwu Jingyuan said coldly: "You know? Because of your stupid behavior, when I was young, I witnessed my father being imprisoned in the cold palace by dozens of court ladies and eunuchs." I also watched my father hang himself in front of me! Now you are hugging the piano suit left by my father so-called affectionate, but when you use this piano, have you ever thought about my father’s reason? Who will die!"
After a few words, Cangwu Jingyuan let go of the hand holding Shen Chen's collar, closed her eyes and tried to calm the anger in her heart, and after a long while, she calmly said: "Shen Chen, you owe me your life!"
After saying that, Cangwu Jingyuan turned around and left Chaoyang Palace.
After Cangwu Jingyuan left, Shen Chen seemed to be drained of all his strength in an instant, and sat down in the gazebo with a pale complexion, burying his head in his arms and holding the guqin in his arms, and sat in the courtyard all night.
The next morning, the sky was bright and clear.
Cangwu Jingyuan received three pieces of good news as soon as she woke up. One was to learn from Lu He that Bai Qian's fever had subsided after rest yesterday, and she would recover completely in a short time.Second, before dawn, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to sneak over two clean quilts and a few bolts of this year's new cloth, and also brought a lot of fresh ingredients such as melons, fruits and fish.The third is that Shenchen sent someone to send a message, asking Cangwu Jingyuan to go to him every day from tomorrow onwards.
Hearing these three happy events early in the morning, Cangwu Jingyuan was in a very good mood.Of course, it would be even better if the chattering Cangwu Jingrui could be absent outside the bedroom door.
Lu He handed the washed handkerchief to Cangwu Jingyuan and said, "Princess, the Fifth Prince has been waiting for you outside the door for half an hour."
"Please be well, please be well, why do you have to drag me along." Cang Wu Jingyuan took the handkerchief from Lu He and wiped her face indiscriminately, with a depressed expression on her face.
Before rebirth, the fifth younger brother avoided her like a plague. It was already very rare to see her not running away. Now that he was only reborn once, how could he be like a different person?
Through the window, Lu He looked at the fifth prince who was shivering and walking back and forth in the courtyard in the cold wind of early spring, and said with full of sympathy: "It's probably because the princess cheated the fifth prince of all the money this month, he couldn't be more angry. Haunting the princess."
After finishing a sentence, Lu He realized that she had said something wrong, covered her mouth, stared at Cangwu Jingyuan with a pair of almond eyes, fortunately Cangwu Jingyuan did not get angry.
Cang Wu Jingyuan raised her eyes and stared at Lu He, and unceremoniously tapped her on the forehead, raised her eyebrows and said: "You girl, I'm not lying, it's clear that he broke my swing first, I'm so It's a legitimate claim, but I think the few dozen taels of silver are too little!"
Lu He stuck out her tongue playfully, and couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.
Cangwu Jingyuan glanced at Luhe, shook her head helplessly, looked herself up and down in the bronze mirror, made sure that she had packed it properly, then pushed open the door and walked out.
"Why are you so slow, I'm almost freezing to death!" Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan coming out of the house, Cangwu Jingrui immediately went up to meet her, and complained as she looked at Cangwu Jingyuan with displeasure.
Cangwu Jingyuan glanced lazily at Cangwu Jingrui, "It's not that I asked you to wait for me, if you don't want to, you can go by yourself."
Keenly aware that Cangwu Jingyuan seemed to be a little displeased, Cangwu Jingrui immediately didn't dare to get angry anymore, and honestly followed Cangwu Jingyuan and muttered: "Who doesn't know that Bai Qian is afraid that you will be hurt when you greet the queen?" The other princesses bully me, and I will wait for you every time I pay my respects, I came to you to increase the chances of communicating with her, so that she can get back on the right path as soon as possible!"
Cangwu Jingyuan was about to say something, but his eyes caught a thin figure not far away, and he swallowed the words again.
Cangwu Jingrui followed Cangwu Jingyuan's gaze and found Bai Qian, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he happily ran towards Bai Qian.But the other party was obviously not in the mood to talk to him, and just glanced at Cangwu Jingyuan lightly, then walked straight towards the empress' bedroom.
Chapter 7
As soon as Cangwu Jingrui saw Bai Qian, like a bee seeing a flower, he jumped up a few times and asked like a cannonball: "Bai Qian, wait for me, let's go together! Your typhoid fever has healed." Is it? I see that your complexion is still not very good, how about I ask the kitchen to prepare ginseng soup for you today?"
Looking at Cangwu Jingrui who was chasing Bai Qian and chattering non-stop, and Bai Qian who was still waiting for her to pay her respects even though she was angry with her, Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of her lips and made a three-step gesture. Two steps to catch up.
Along the way, Cangwu Jingrui chattered non-stop between Cangwu Jingyuan and Bai Qian, which eased the awkward atmosphere between the two of them a lot.
On the pretext of asking Cangwu Jingrui to pick some peach blossoms for the queen, he sent away the nagging Cangwu Jingrui, Bai Qian stopped, looked directly at Cangwu Jingyuan beside him and said, "Take the puppet give me back."
She didn't expect that the first words she said to herself after recovering from her illness were actually this, but at least she had spoken to herself, so she should be content.
Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help chuckling, looked at Bai Qian who was still pale and said, "You haven't recovered from typhoid fever, and it's cold in the morning, so don't wear more."
"I'm asking when you plan to return my puppet to me." Obviously Cangwu Jingyuan failed to change the subject, Bai Qian still pursed her lips and asked stubbornly.
Bai Qian seems to be a talkative girl, and she is gentle and reasonable towards outsiders, but once she gets serious, she is definitely more stubborn than a cow.
But the ten years before Cangwu Jingyuan's rebirth were not in vain, the rogue smiled, "What you gave me is mine, you can take it back if you want, just spend money to buy it!"
After finishing speaking, Cangwu Jingyuan frowned and pretended to be contemplative, before saying solemnly after a long while: "Just with the first-class materials and excellent craftsmanship, it is worth ten thousand taels of gold or something, since we know each other I'll give you a discount for one game, and I'll sell it to you for 99 taels of gold, which is fair enough."
"Scumbag!" Listening to Cangwu Jingyuan's nonsense, Bai Qian gave Cangwu Jingyuan a gouging look and ignored her, striding towards the Queen's bedroom until the distance between her and Cangwu Jingyuan was far enough , when she couldn't see the expression on her face, Bai Qian couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of her lips.
The so-called greetings are nothing more than the time when the queen tests her children's recent academic progress. Among the children, those who are outstanding in their studies will naturally be rewarded, and those who are poor will inevitably be lectured.
Among the queen's dozen or so children, the ones with the best academic performance are naturally the future prime minister of Cangwu Kingdom, Bai Qian, and the third princess, Cangwu Lingxue.The worst ones are probably the eldest princess Cangwu Jinxiu who is domineering but not very good at thinking, and Cangwu Jingrui who idles around all day and does not learn countless things.
As for Cangwu Jingyuan and his like who stood at the end of the peace-seeking team, because of their low status and never being liked by the Empress, they were not among the candidates for the Empress to ask questions at all.
After being reborn once, Cangwu Jingyuan put many things aside.For example, the current scene where Cangwu Lingxue answers the Queen's questions fluently and is praised by the Queen, if it were the scene where she must have been jealous and painful before her rebirth, but now she can just sit on the sidelines and just watch the show.
The eldest princess made continuous mistakes when asking questions, which made the already excellent third princess Cangwu Lingxue even more brilliant. Naturally, the queen's reward was indispensable.
Sure enough, after listening to Cangwu Lingxue recite the next poem completely, and expressing her own experience, Longxin joyfully told the maid beside her: "The third princess's academic level has improved very fast, and I will appreciate one of the four treasures in the study room." Set, 100 taels of gold."
Hearing the reward from the Queen, Cangwu Lingxue did not thank her, but knelt on the ground and said in a respectful tone: "Mother, I already have several sets of the Four Treasures of the Study, and it would be a waste to add more. If possible, I would like to ask for other reward."
Perhaps Cangwu Cangwu Jinxiuxue performed really well today, the empress was not dissatisfied, she looked at Cangwu Cangwu Jinxiuxue and said, "Tell me, what reward do you want to ask for."
Cangwu Cangwu Jinxiuxue was overjoyed, and said in a respectful tone: "I feel that I am not good enough in schoolwork and other aspects, but I have heard that Bai Qian is proficient in everything, and I admire him very much, so I want to ask my mother to arrange Bai Qian for my son. The minister's accompanying reading."
Hearing this, the queen couldn't help frowning, and the entire Anning Palace fell silent for an instant.
Every princess and prince present knew that Bai Qian was extremely talented and a rare all-rounder. Together with his loyal family, he had almost secured the position of future prime minister. Listed as the No.1 choice for the future queen.
The queen was silent for a long time, looked at the third princess kneeling on the ground, and finally said, "The previous reward is still for you, as for the companion reading, the eldest princess and the fifth prince are far worse than you in schoolwork, and need to be improved even more, so let's do it! Let Bai Qian be the companion of the three of you, what do you think of Bai Qian?"
Bai Qian, who had lowered her head ever since Cangwu Lingxue brought up the matter of accompanying her, raised her head and looked directly at the queen when she heard the words, knelt on one knee and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "If the fourth princess Cangwu Jingyuan is also on the list of tutors, Then I am willing to be the companion of the three princesses and the prince."
As soon as these words came out, the gazes of everyone in the hall, including the empress, were all focused on Cangwu Jingyuan who stood at the end, with disdain, sarcasm, and contempt in their eyes.
Bai Qian had no choice but to smile wryly, she didn't provoke anyone, she just stood here and waited for the greetings to be over before leaving, but Bai Qian's words made her the focus of everyone's attention.
Seeing the sinister gaze cast by the eldest princess and the third princess, Cangwu Jingyuan's head suddenly became as big as a bucket.
The queen raised her eyes to look at her non-existent daughter at the end of the team, and then looked at the persistent Bai Qian, frowned slightly, but still said: "Forget it! Since you don't feel tired, then do what you want." Wish. However, the ugly words are up front, since you have taken over the job of accompanying the four princes and princesses, I will see the results at the banquet in the harem in March, otherwise, not only will there be no rewards, but I will punish you .”
Seeing the Queen let go, Bai Qian leaned forward to salute, "I will live up to your majesty's trust."
After the morning greetings, Bai Qian was left by the queen to play chess with her, while all the princes and princesses dispersed one after another. Although Cangwu Jingyuan was running away quickly, unfortunately, she was stopped by the eldest princess's people.
Cangwu Jinxiu, who was wearing a bright purple-pink dress, stepped forward, looked up and down at Cangwu Jingyuan with a face full of disdain, and said in a strange way: "Yo! Who am I talking about? Dare to use Bai Qian in the palace to seek The Queen's attention turned out to be the Fourth Sister! Tell me, how many hours did you kneel outside Bai Qian's Xueyang Palace before asking Bai Qian to intercede for you?"
Chapter 8
Although Cangwu Jingyuan was afraid of trouble, trouble had already found her door, so she naturally had no reason not to fight back.
Looking at Cangwu Jinxiu, who was wearing heavy make-up and wearing a pungent fragrance, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter if I kneel at the gate of Xueyang Palace for several hours, or hold my pale legs and beg, I want I won it myself, unlike you, the eldest princess, who will only wait for the charity from the third princess in obscurity."
Unexpectedly, Cangwu Jingyuan, who has always been cowardly, would openly refute herself, and what she said hit her sore spot, Cangwu Jinxiu was furious, and wanted to slap Cangwu Jingyuan with her hand, but the slap hadn't even touched her at all. , but Cangwu Jingyuan grabbed her wrist severely.
"You, what do you want to do? Is it possible that you still want to attack this princess in front of the Peaceful Palace?" Feeling the huge force from her wrist, Cangwu Jinxiu Xinya looked at Cangwu Jingyuan nervously and asked.
Cangwu Jingyuan slightly narrowed her eyes, leaned closer to Cangwu Jinxiu, although there was still a slight smile on her lips, but her tone was cold and piercing, "Before you do anything to me next time, please prepare to be disabled for half a lifetime, sister Huang." I don’t regret my fate, but the body of Huang Jie, who lacks arms and legs, is afraid that she will completely miss the throne in this life!”
Seeing Cangwu Jinxiu trembling with anger, but not daring to touch Cangwu Jinxiu, Cangwu Jingyuan threw off Cangwu Jinxiu's wrist, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, wiped her fingers carefully, and threw it on the ground. Without even looking at Cangwu Cangwu Jinxiuxue, she turned and left.
Bai Qian who happened to see this scene passing by, couldn't help shaking her head, a little helplessness flashed in Ru Mo's eyes.
She came out half a moment late in order to evade the Queen's invitation to play chess, but she never expected that Cangwu Jingyuan would cause such a big trouble.
Sighing softly, Bai Qian turned around and prepared to go back to the palace, but heard a sound of running behind her, stopped her footsteps, and turned her head to see Cang Wu Jingrui, whose face was flushed from the cold, running towards him excitedly come over.
"Sister Bai, why did you come out so soon? I thought I would wait for a long time! By the way, did you see the fourth sister cleaning up the elder sister just now? It's so enjoyable!" Cangwu Jingrui looked at Cangwu Jingyuan In the direction of leaving, he said excitedly, his eyes full of excitement and admiration.
Bai Qian tapped him on the head, and said calmly, "Do you still think the matter is not serious enough? Go back to the palace to study your homework, and make a fool of yourself in front of the empress in three months. Don't expect me to let you go."
As soon as he heard about the homework, Cangwu Jingrui, who was still excited, immediately withered, his handsome face wrinkled into a persimmon, looked at Bai Qian pitifully, and said, "Are there any other options? Such as horseback riding, archery, etc. , even if you let me embroider!"
Glancing at Cang Wu Jingrui, Bai Qian said indifferently: "Then you go to embroider." After saying that, she ignored him, turned around and walked towards her palace.
Cangwu Jingyuan wandered back to Qingqiu Palace, but she didn't expect to see a person in the palace who she thought would never come here again.
"It really flatters Cangwu Jingyuan to let a distinguished gentleman set foot in my broken courtyard!"
Hearing the cold and mocking voice from behind, Shen Chen said with a slight smile on his handsome face: "I am also a nobleman, regardless of etiquette, can you talk to me in the future without wearing a gun?" Great, sarcastic intentionally?"
Hearing this, Cangwu Jingyuan took two steps forward, looked straight at Shen Chen and said with a smile: "Shen Chen, who has always looked down on the theory of status and inferiority the most, now cares about these red tapes. In this case, Then Cangwu Jingyuan pays homage to your lord."
After finishing speaking, Cangwu Jingyuan leaned forward and prepared to salute.
The smile on Shen Chen's face finally shattered, he stretched out his hand to stop Cangwu Jingyuan, and said in a deep voice, "I'm here because you beat the eldest princess."
Cangwu Jingyuan shook off the hand that was holding her arm, narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Beating? Has anyone ever seen me beating the eldest princess?"
"She told me herself."
Cangwu Jingyuan looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Do you believe it?"
Looking at Cangwu Jingyuan, who was so arrogant and without the slightest fear in his eyes, Shen Chen really wanted to say something that would frustrate her, but in the end he sighed and said, "I don't believe it."
For the person who indirectly killed her biological father, Cangwu Jingyuan naturally wouldn't have any good words, raised her eyebrows and said: "Then why did you come to me!"
Shen Chen was so annoyed by her attitude, he gritted his teeth and said: "The imperial husband is not in the palace when he went to the temple to pray. In the past few days, I will take care of the affairs of the harem. The eldest princess came to my palace in person and said that you beat her. What do you want me to do!"
Hearing this, Cangwu Jingyuan chuckled nonchalantly: "What do you think about imprisoning the clan mansion? Or simply exile outside the palace and find a place in another palace or temple, and then send some killers to deal with it secretly?"
Shen Chen pointed at Cangwu Jingyuan with a livid face, and walked back and forth in the room for a few big steps, but in the end he didn't say anything, turned around and left Qingqiu Palace with a flick of his sleeves.
After Shen Chen left, the smile on Cangwu Jingyuan's face gradually dissipated. She went to the inner room and took out the puppet that was carved very similar to her from under the pillow. Showing a little tired.
Although it was accidental that the eldest sister hated her because of the accompanying reading today, but she had a deliberate act when she later had a conflict with the eldest princess.
Cangwu Jingyuan is not an impulsive person, she knows very well that the eldest princess who is backed by the imperial husband is definitely something she can't afford to offend now.If the emperor's husband hadn't come out of the palace to pay respects to the Buddha, even if Cangwu Jingyuan suffers a bit from today's incident, she would definitely not threaten Cangwu Jinxiu to cause disaster for herself.
However, if the harem is temporarily in charge of Shen Chen, then she is very likely to use this conflict to turn herself into Shen Chen's adopted daughter.
Shen Chen is now favored by the empress, if she is adopted under her name, then her future will be much easier.Back then when she ascended to the throne by stepping on many bones, and watched Bai Qian stain her hands with blood and bear the notoriety, she didn't want to go through it again...
Lengxiang came, and a cold voice sounded softly behind Cangwu Jingyuan, "What is the princess thinking about?"
Breaking free from the memories of the past, Cangwu Jingyuan turned her head to look at Bai Qian who was standing beside her, breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out her hand with a little animal-like aggrieved expression on her face.
Seeing her like this, Bai Qian sighed and stretched out her jade-like hand to hold her, and followed her strength to sit on the swaying wooden bed in Qingqiu Palace.
When she was young, Cangwu Jingyuan had always been very dependent on Bai Qian, and only when she was alone with Bai Qian, Cangwu Jingyuan, who was always indifferent in front of outsiders, would show some rare weakness and hesitation.
Gently resting her head on Bai Qian's shoulder, smelling the elegant fragrance of her body, her agitated heart slowly calmed down, Cangwu Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed her head against Bai Qian's arm again, He sighed softly, "It's good that you're still here."
Chapter 9
Although she knew that Cangwu Jingyuan made this kind of intimacy towards her only because of family affection or friendship, but Bai Qian's heart couldn't help beating a little faster, as if afraid of being heard by her, Bai Qian Pushing Cangwu Jingyuan's head away a little bit and looking at her, he said in a gentle voice, "Just now I saw your nobleman leaving Qingqiu Palace angrily, did he blame you?"
Not wanting to worry Bai Qian, Cangwu Jingyuan curled her lips and said with a smile: "Now that I have a lowly status in this palace, and today I offended the elder sister who is of high status, shouldn't I be reprimanded or something?"
Looking at Cangwu Jingyuan's playful smile, Bai Qian's worry turned into anger, and looked at Cangwu Jingyuan and said in a deep voice, "Do you know how serious this incident is? I thought you were also worried about it. Listless, but you still look heartless."
Seeing that Bai Qianzhen was getting worried, Cangwu Jingyuan hurriedly said: "Of course I know the stakes of this matter, but you don't need to worry about me, I will definitely make this matter into a trivial matter before the queen returns, but good?"
Seeing that Bai Qian, who usually seemed taciturn, told her that she was not playing, was about to start preaching again, Cangwu Jingyuan hurriedly changed the subject, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Didn't you be dragged to play chess by the queen? Why are you so Are you coming back soon? Are you still running to me like crazy about lovesickness?"
The words lovesickness and madness fell into Bai Qian's ears, Bai Qian blushed, and immediately grabbed Cangwu Jingyuan's ears rudely, and said angrily: "You don't want to talk nonsense anymore, believe it or not, I will grab you!" Rotten your ears."
Mingming was the most reluctant to beat herself up, and every time she insisted on beating someone, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled secretly, pretending to be wronged and shouted pain, as expected, Bai Qian immediately withdrew her hand, stared at Cangwu Jingyuan and said : "I was afraid that you would cause trouble, so I left because I was unwell. I didn't expect such a short time..."
Hearing that Bai Qian was about to teach herself again, Cangwu Jingyuan hurriedly begged for mercy, "Prime Minister Bai, Lord Bai, I already know I was wrong, if you talk about me again, I will be so guilty that I can only hang myself on the beam, let's get down to business How do you look?"
Gouging out Cangwu Jingyuan's eyes, Bai Qian said in a deep voice, "I'll send my maid in the palace to help you pack your things in a while, and you can move to live in my palace tonight."
Hearing this, Cangwu Jingyuan was slightly taken aback, then smiled lightly and twisted a strand of long hair from Baiqian's shoulders around her fingertips, said with a light smile: "I know what you are worried about, but I don't intend to go. "
Bai Qian frowned, "Do you know the seriousness of this incident?"
Cangwu Jingyuan raised his eyebrows, "So you are afraid that I will die in vain like my father in this deep palace, so you plan to take me to your palace, and you plan to carry everything for me and protect me?"
Bai Qian took a deep look at Cangwu Jingyuan, frowned and turned to look at the puppet she put beside her pillow, silent.
Seeing her like this, Cangwu Jingyuan smiled calmly, patted Bai Qian's hand comfortingly and said, "Why do you put on such an expression, as if I bullied you! The last time I fell into the water, I saw it all. I have never seen you look so disappointed! Or is it that you invited me to your palace this time because you actually want to plot against this princess?"
Thinking of the scene where Cangwu Jingyuan changed her clothes in her palace last time, Bai Qian's fair face flushed suddenly, she stared at Cangwu Jingyuan and said with shame and anger: "You, you are talking nonsense, how could I do that?" Do that."
Seeing Bai Qian's cheeks with a faint blush that looked delicate and charming, Cangwu Jingyuan was slightly taken aback, and after recovering, she found that Bai Qian, who was also a woman, would also be stunned, and couldn't help laughing at herself inwardly.
Then he changed his mind, sat upright, looked at Bai Qian with a rare seriousness and said, "Bai Qian, I know what you think about me, but now I'm not sure what kind of feelings I have for you. Before that, I I don't want to lie to you, and I don't want to give you any promises perfunctorily, so can you give me some time before I'm sure of my mind?"
Bai Qian thought that she would be rejected after expressing her love, and also thought that the two of them would be estranged from each other after that day in Jinghu, or even die forever, but she never thought that Cangwu Jingyuan would be willing to confirm her feelings , try to accept yourself.
Bai Qian's eyes couldn't help getting wet, and she didn't want Cangwu Jingyuan to see her tears, so she turned her face away, her voice was choked up but she said firmly: "Whether it's a year or ten years, as long as you don't personally refuse, I will wait for you." you."
After receiving Bai Qian's answer, Cangwu Jingyuan's heart gradually settled down. As long as she would not leave herself alone like before her rebirth, she would try to like her, even though her 15-year relationship was ruined, and she didn't know it herself. Will I fall in love with someone again...
Not wanting to be disturbed by all kinds of memories before rebirth, Cangwu Jingyuan got up and said, "Go, go to the kitchen. Zhang Quan sent a lot of good ingredients yesterday. I will cook for you today, so you can feast on it."
Hearing this, Bai Qian was taken aback, "How could Zhang Quan be so attentive to you all of a sudden?"
Cangwu Jingyuan blinked at Bai Qian, and said with a smile: "The mountain man has his own plan, let's talk about the details later while eating." Then he took Bai Qian's hand and pulled her up.
Looking at the hands they held together, the warmth from them seemed to be able to reach directly to the heart, a warm feeling flashed in Bai Qian's eyes, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Cang Wu Jingyuan and said: "Lvhe has taken care of you since you were a child, you know how to cook Learning to cook? I don’t want to have a stomachache when I go home before the typhoid fever is completely cured.”
Cangwu Jingyuan chuckled, "I'll be with you when you have a stomachache, so what are you afraid of!" After saying that, he dragged Bai Qian to the kitchen.
In the small kitchen of the Qingqiu Palace, Lu He washed two plates of chopped vegetables, a piece of fresh fish, a few eggs, and some pork, and put them on the chopping board.
Cangwu Jingyuan rolled up his sleeves and planned to show off his hands, but when he turned his head, he saw Bai Qian and Lu He standing aside, both looking at him worriedly, couldn't help but curled his lips into a chuckle, and didn't explain much, just directly Skillfully pour oil into the pan and start cooking.
Before rebirth, because Shen Ye loved food, Cangwu Jingyuan visited famous chefs everywhere to please him, and invited him back to the palace to learn cooking by himself, that cooking skill.After a few years, Cangwu Jingyuan, who is used to eating meals made by herself, has naturally become more picky. Now that there are ingredients, she must have a good meal.
With the sound of the shovel colliding with the iron pan and the sound of food being poured into the pan, the tempting aroma gradually spread throughout the kitchen.
Bai Qian, who is self-disciplined, tried her best to maintain her original casual appearance, but occasionally she still couldn't help swallowing secretly, while Lu He at the side was even more straightforward, running to Cangwu Jingyuan to stare at the ingredients in the pot , that way it's almost like grabbing it directly.
Finally, half an hour later, a plate of stir-fried lotus root, a plate of hot and sour potato shreds, a plate of braised sea bass, and a pot of kelp tofu soup with clear color and aroma were brought to the table.
Chapter 10
Almost without Cangwu Jingyuan's invitation, Bai Qian took the initiative to move her chopsticks, while Lu He, who was obviously drooling but still caring about the manners of a master and servant, also sat down under Cangwu Jingyuan's persistent order. The lower end raised the bowl.
I was about to move my chopsticks, but there was a
