Ji Yueqin took Chu Qingtang back to the Qianxi Palace, and along the way, bursts of laughter came from their sedan chairs, causing the palace servants to look sideways.
Here, Ji Yueqin had just stepped into the Qianxi Palace, and asked Aunt Xiuzhu to send someone to deliver a letter to Lord Chu's mansion, telling them that Chu Qingtang would stay in the Qianxi Palace for dinner, and that Chu would be sent to the palace later. Qing Tang sent it back to the mansion.
After arriving at the Qianxi Palace, Ji Yueqin took Chu Qingtang to the main hall to visit the queen mother. The queen mother saw Chu Qingtang being dignified and polite, and she also had a good impression of this down-to-earth girl.
Seeing that Ji Yueqin made friends in the imperial school and was happy for Ji Yueqin, he asked the palace servants to prepare a few more dishes that Ji Yueqin liked to eat.
After the three enjoyed their lunch, Ji Yueqin took Chu Qingtang back to her palace and asked Xiuzhu to prepare some refreshments and fruits.
Seeing that Ji Yueqin was so concerned about herself, Chu Qingtang regarded Ji Yueqin as her best friend in her heart.
Her nose was a little pantothenic, and she couldn't help but ask, "Yueqin, aren't you afraid that I'll be your friend because I want to cling to you?"
Ji Yueqin looked into her eyes and said with a smile, "I believe in you. Also, I know you're not such a person."
When Chu Qingtang heard Ji Yueqin say this, she couldn't help but feel grateful to Ji Yueqin in her heart, and burst into tears while hugging Ji Yueqin.
Ji Yueqin didn't say anything, just patted Chu Qingtang's back lightly to comfort her.
This time, in fact, do not need too much language. When others are sad, you don't know what difficult things the other person has experienced, and you haven't experienced it yourself, so you can't empathize with it.
So no amount of comfort at this time is like a blank sheet of paper, it seems so pale and powerless. Therefore, what I need to do is to quietly accompany the sad person and let her vent her unhappiness. This is what I should do.
It didn't take long for Chu Qingtang to finally vent the unhappiness in her heart and gradually stop her tears.
Ji Yueqin just looked at her distressedly, gently wiped Chu Qingtang's tears with her handkerchief, and said with a hint of ridicule: "Qingtang, I really want to take a mirror to show you, look at you. Now it's like a crying tabby cat."
Chu Qingtang was a little embarrassed, lowered her head shyly, and said softly, "Yueqin, don't make fun of me."
Seeing Chu Qingtang's embarrassed appearance, Ji Yueqin stopped making fun of Chu Qingtang, and said sternly, "Why is Qingtang crying so sad, but someone bullied you?"
Chu Qingtang shook her head gently, but instead took Ji Yueqin's hand and said warmly, "No, I'm just very happy to have you as a good friend."
Seeing Chu Qingtang say this, Ji Yueqin raised her face and said, "Qingtang, if you really treat me as a friend, you shouldn't hide it from me."
Chu Qingtang looked at Ji Yueqin's petite but firm body, and seemed to be touched in her heart, so she spoke with Ji Yueqin slowly.
"Don't see that although I'm the direct daughter of the Chu family, I'm actually not as good as any younger sister." Chu Qingtang's eyes showed a hint of sadness, and her voice was light and emotionless, as if she wasn't talking about her own. Things are normal.
"My mother passed away early, leaving me alone. My father loves my aunt and my sisters, and never takes a second look at me. And my aunt always slandered me from behind in order to fight for the seat of mistress. Not only that, my sister They also hate me and are always watching my jokes." When she mentioned her mother, the sadness in her eyes made Ji Yueqin think of her dead mother.
Because both of their mothers had passed away, they couldn't help feeling that they were both in the same world. Ji Yueqin hugged Chu Qingtang gently, but she didn't expect to accidentally touch Chu Qingtang. wound on the back.
Chu Qingtang cried out involuntarily. Ji Yueqin looked at the beads of sweat on Chu Qingtang's forehead and asked coldly, "They still dare to do something to you?"
Chu Qingtang's eyes were a little unnatural, and even her words were a little embarrassing: "No... I was careless myself."
Ji Yueqin didn't listen to her explanation, so she asked Xiuzhu to send the palace servants in the house.
After all the palace servants in the palace went out, Ji Yueqin ignored Chu Qingtang's resistance and asked Xiuzhu to remove Chu Qingtang's clothes.
Chu Qingtang's eyes flashed a hint of panic, but she couldn't resist Xiuzhu, so she let Xiuzhu remove the clothes from her upper body.
Seeing Chu Qingtang's back covered with dense scars, Ji Yueqin and Xiuzhu couldn't help but be stunned. Chu Qingtang is only a girl of eight or nine years old, how could someone go to such a girl next time to kill her.
Ji Yueqin caressed the mark left behind Chu Qingtang, looking at the bloodshot wounds behind her, she couldn't help feeling hairy.
"Who did it!" Ji Yueqin's voice revealed waves of coldness, as if he was going to stab those who hurt Chu Qingtang with a thousand swords.
Seeing Ji Yueqin like this, Chu Qingtang was also stunned, but she didn't want Ji Yueqin to be involved in the dirty things in her family, so she said repeatedly: "I really got myself accidentally, it doesn't matter."
"Qingtang, I'm doing this for your own good. I treat you as a friend, so you shouldn't hide it from me." Seeing Chu Qingtang like this, Ji Yueqin sighed.
"Yueqin is not because I don't want to tell you, it's because I don't want you to participate in this dirty thing." Chu Qingtang smiled bitterly at Ji Yueqin.
Ji Yueqin shook her head and said helplessly to her: "Why didn't I step out of this filthy thing? My father and mother died tragically because of other people's assassinations! I fled thousands of miles from Daliang to Da Yu, how can you feel the peace? Fortunately, your father is still alive, even if he spoils another aunt, you have to take back what you deserve from her!"
Chu Qingtang was stunned when she heard what Ji Yueqin said, but the pain of Xiuzhu drugging her pulled her back to reality.
Chu Qingtang looked at Ji Yueqin distressedly, and couldn't help feeling distressed for the woman in front of her. Compared with Ji Yueqin, what he has experienced is not as good as Ji Yueqin's nine bulls.
The two girls with the same illness looked at each other with sympathy in their eyes.
"Since they treat you like this, from now on, I will help you get what you deserve, and I will make them regret what they did today." Chu Qingtang looked at Ji Yueqin's firm gaze, I am even more grateful to Ji Yueqin.
"In a few days, I'll visit your house and see how your concubine sisters treat you." Ji Yueqin patted Chu Qingtang's hand and comforted her.
"Yueqin, you are really kind to me." Chu Qingtang said gratefully to Ji Yueqin with tears in her eyes.
"Since we are good friends, we should help each other, right?" Ji Yueqin smiled at Chu Qingtang and said warmly.
Chu Qingtang looked at Ji Yueqin, nodded lightly, and clenched Ji Yueqin's hand tightly.
…
The letter sent by Xiuzhu here has already arrived at the Chu family. When the Chu family saw that it was news from the palace, the aunt that Chu Qingtang said was dressed up and went out to entertain.
Chu Qingtang's aunt Qian Shi was covered in thick powder on her face, and her body also exuded a strong fragrance, which made people a little stunned when they saw it.
Seeing the father-in-law from the palace sitting in the hall, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "This father-in-law, my master is not here, just tell me anything."
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the county lord sent me here. It's just you. Miss Chu family was left by the county lord for lunch. I just came to tell you." The father-in-law said.
Qian Shi was stunned when he heard that, Chu Qingtang, a bitch, actually clinged to the princess!
Qian Shi was gnashing his teeth a bit, but it was not easy for him to have an attack in front of the father-in-law in this palace, so he had to smile at the father-in-law with a smile on his face: "Thank you father-in-law for coming to let me know."
The father-in-law nodded, and without staying too long in the Chu residence, he got up and left.
When the father-in-law left the house, Qian Shi's face completely sank, and he called his eldest daughter and younger daughter to her room for a secret conversation.
Before long, her two daughters hurried to their mother's room.
As soon as the youngest daughter Chu Xiangyu entered the room, she sat on the chair and poured water for herself with the kettle in her hand: "What's the matter with my mother calling me and my sister in such a hurry?"
The eldest daughter, Chu Xiangyue, has a different temperament from this Chu Xiangyu. She walked into the house and saluted her mother: "Xiangyue has seen my aunt, but I don't know why my aunt asked our sisters to come, why? "
It was not that Chu Xiangyue disliked her mother, but that her mother was not the mistress of the house in this mansion, so she did not dare to call her mother in front of outsiders.
Qian Shi also understood that she didn't want to be the mistress of the Chu residence, but the adults had been reluctant to straighten her up, and she felt very resentful, but she had no choice.
She took Chu Xiangyue's hand and sighed, "Xiangyue, I'm really hurting you. Why doesn't my aunt want you to call me mother in a dignified manner." After speaking, she glanced at Chu Xiang who was just drinking water. Yu, pinched her ear and said, "Look at your sister, look at you again, you will know what to eat, drink and drink all day long."
"Okay, auntie don't teach Xiangyu any more, just tell me what happened." Chu Xiangyue said to Qian Shi in a warm voice.
"Look at your sister, then look at you." Qian Shi said angrily, looking at Chu Xiangyu, who was a bit unsatisfactory.
"Sister is much more generous and decent than me." She pouted, somewhat disapprovingly.
Qian Shi looked at the troublesome little daughter and ignored it. After sending the servants out, he said to the two of them, "Today that little bitch went to Taixue and actually climbed up the county master."
Chu Xiangyue was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said warmly, "It's really good."
Chu Xiangyu scolded loudly when she heard it, "Why can she, Chu Qingtang, cling to the princess!"
Before Qian Shi could say anything, she heard Chu Xiangyue say coldly, "Just because she is the direct daughter of this Chu residence, she can go to Taixue just because she is the direct daughter."
After hearing this, Chu Xiangyu became even more angry, blushing and scolding angrily: "Why is this little bitch a direct daughter, she is obviously not as good as my sister!"
Qian Shi heard what Chu Xiangyu said, and said with a dark face: "Wait and see, I'll see how long she can be proud of Chu Qingtang."
