The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 233 The Prince Is Here (1)
This main room is not too big, there is a high couch facing the door.On the couch was a square table of spade wood, covered with exquisite embroidery, and above it, there was a purple and gold incense burner emitting green smoke.

Seeing Li Shi coming in, a nun walked over and extinguished the incense burner, fearing that the fragrance would affect the fetus in Li Shi's womb.

The ancestors of the Chu family sat on this soft couch.The left and right sides of the couch are filled with chairs.Chu Qing counted it briefly, and it happened to be the total number of the six-bedroom population.

Of course, the juniors have no seats and can only stand.

Chu Qing looked at the old woman sitting on the couch.

Mrs. Zhang was wearing a brown uniform, with auspicious symbols embroidered on the satin surface, which symbolized longevity. Her gray hair was combed meticulously, and a headband was tied on her forehead, wrapping the bun behind her.There is also a gemstone inlaid in the middle of the headband, and a jade hairpin and a gold hairpin are inserted behind the bun.

In her hand, she kept twisting a string of jade Buddha beads, her eyes were half dreaming and half awake, and she couldn't see clearly.

Her face was covered with wrinkles, but her skin still had a rosy glow.Judging from the facial features alone, this old man was also a great beauty when he was young, and there is still a heroic look between his brows.

Those two eyebrows are not curved like the willow leaves of ordinary women, but rather handsome.

Chu Qing was looking at the old man, and Mrs. Zhang was also looking at the mother and daughter.More eyes were focused on Chu Qing.Firstly, she had met Mrs. Li back then, and secondly, Chu Qing would be the princess in the future, so she also wanted to see if this daughter of the Chu family was qualified enough.

She already knew about the dispute that happened outside the Buddhist hall just now.There is some appreciation for Chu Qing's indifferent and calm attitude.At this time, seeing her unparalleled appearance, I felt a little clear in my heart.

No wonder that dandy Xiaoyao Wang has a soft spot for this girl.But this good looks is enough to make the lustful Xiaoyao Wang addicted.

However, as a princess, beauty alone is not enough.It is necessary to be able to control the entire Xiaoyao Palace and control the Xiaoyao Wang.Otherwise, this princess is no different from a concubine.

The son wanted to rely on her, to be close to the big tree of the Xiaoyao Palace, and to become a relative of the emperor, and his good wishes could only die prematurely.

"Chu Lian, kneel down." Mrs. Zhang suddenly got mad at Chu Lian.

Chu Lian was taken aback, and looked up at her ancestor in disbelief, her lips parted slightly, as if she wasn't sure if she had heard correctly.

Even Chu Xuan was taken aback, thinking inwardly: Is it possible that even the ancestors want to compliment this mother and daughter?If this is the case, I'm afraid she will have to think of another countermeasure.

"Old ancestor, I..." Chu Lian was very reluctant.

"I'll let you kneel down!" Zhang slapped the table on the couch with one hand, scaring Chu Lian to kneel down with her legs immediately, making a crisp sound.

Tears flowed from the pain right now.

"Old Ancestor, what did I do wrong that you treat me like this?" Chu Lian let her tears flow, and looked up at Zhang with dissatisfaction.

Mrs. Zhang snorted, and said expressionlessly: "Are you still wronged? How many brains do you have if you dare to yell at Princess Xiaoyao and make sarcastic remarks?"

"She's not married yet!" Chu Lian argued loudly.

"Presumptuous!" Zhang's eyes glared, and the brilliance in them stood out: "Even if she is not yet married, Chu Qing is also a sixth-rank imperial order awarded by the imperial court. According to the rules, even if I see her, I have to kneel and kowtow."

Chu Qing's eyes moved, and she looked at Mrs. Zhang thoughtfully.

Chu Xuan was startled, and looked at Chu Qing. She did not expect that Chu Qing was not only the future Princess Xiaoyao, but also a sixth-rank imperial order awarded by the imperial court.

How is she so lucky?Chu Xuan couldn't help clenching the hand in her cuff, her nails sinking into her palm.

"Six orders!" Chu Lian looked at Chu Qing in disbelief: "Only by her?"

Mrs. Zhang said indifferently: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. Now you apologize to Chu Qing. If she refuses to forgive you, I will not be able to save you." After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes, as if no longer intervene.

Want to make a clear apology?
Crazy flames ignited in the bottom of Chu Lian's eyes, and she shot at Chu Qing fiercely, almost burning a hole in her body.

Chu Qing stood there calmly, ignoring Chu Lian's anger, but looked at Mrs. Zhang on the couch, guessing the purpose of her actions.Is it a consideration, or a test?
Chu Qing never thought that a simple greeting would become so complicated.

Zhang's purpose was not clear, Chu Xuan stood aside with downcast eyes, but the luster at the bottom of her eyes changed.Chu Lian, who was kneeling on the ground, stared at her with resentment, and the fire of hatred in her eyes became more and more intense.

Lightly sweeping over Zhang's doze, Chu Qing's quiet eyes swept over several servants in the room one by one.Very well, everyone hangs their heads indifferently.

"Sister Lian, get up quickly, they are all my sisters, why is this so?" There was a gentle arc on the corners of her lips, and no emotion could be seen on Chu Qing's face.

Chu Lian snorted coldly, turned her head away, and ignored it.

Chu Qing smiled indulgently, and said coquettishly: "Look at you, the old ancestor was worried about your reckless temperament, if you meet a noble person in the future, you will accidentally collide and cause trouble. That's why I let me talk about it , if you continue to quarrel, you will be letting down her old man's painstaking efforts."

After Chu Qing finished speaking, Madam Su, who was serving by Mrs. Zhang's side, raised her eyes to look at her.Zhang's closed eyes also opened a line, and the eyes lightly swept over.

Chu Qing didn't seem to notice it, and continued to persuade: "Get up quickly, the ground is cold. If you kneel down, you will hurt your muscles and bones."

Thinking flashed across Chu Lian's eyes, and she peeked at her ancestor again. Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was still silent, she pursed her lips, not knowing how to make a decision in her heart.

Looking back, seeing Chu Xuan's pale face and slightly trembling shoulders, she suddenly became agitated and shouted at Chu Qing: "I don't want your fake kindness. You tell me like this now, and you don't know how you will frame me afterwards. "

Chu Qing's smile remained unchanged: "How can Sister Lian say that? You and I are connected by blood, why should I frame you?" After finishing speaking, he sighed faintly: "We are born from the same root, so why rush each other."

While speaking, her slightly cold eyes swept over Chu Xuan.

It was born from the same root, so why is it too anxious.

The ten words made Chu Xuan's body tremble, and made Li Shi and You Rongyan look at Chu Qing.Even Mrs. Zhang opened her eyes and looked at it carefully for the first time.He murmured: "The other one is born from the same root, so why bother with each other. Well said, well said!"

Chu Qing folded his hands on his waist, bent his knees gracefully, and lowered his eyes and said, "Old Ancestor, Chu Qing pays my respects to you."

"Don't dare. You have the order of the sixth rank, and you already look down on me if you don't let me salute." Mrs. Zhang said flatly.

Chu Qing looked bitter, raised her head, and looked at Zhang Shi pitifully: "Is even Grandma Grandma going to keep Ah Li away?"
