Chapter 008: A Chance Encounter
——
The birthday gift for Princess Mingyue was prepared by Han himself.
Princess Mingyue is favored by the emperor, so naturally she does not care about those jewelry. However, now that her daughter is going to see them, it means that they are the Duke of Dingguo Mansion. This gift cannot be given too lightly to avoid losing the etiquette.
As for Chen Wu, Han taught her some palace etiquette during this period.
After all, Han also came from the Marquis' Mansion. When he was young, he was a noble girl from Yancheng, which was no less than Chen Miao now. However, Chen Wu only inherited the appearance of Han, but did not learn from Han in other aspects.
At first, Han did want to cultivate his daughter, but he felt a little reluctant to think about the suffering he had suffered.
So sometimes she felt a little conflicted. While thinking about letting her daughter compare Chen Miao, she was reluctant to let her daughter work too hard. But speaking, by the mother of Han, she personally taught that although Chen Wu was not as outstanding as Chen Miao, she was much better than the noble girl in Yancheng. However, the two beautiful women in Shen were too famous, so Chen Wu naturally seemed a little inconspicuous.
Today, Chen Wu got up early and sat on the embroidery pedestal in front of the makeup box and let Gu Yu clean it up.
The girl in the mirror had a small face as big as a palm, thick eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and looked rosy and had a very good complexion. However, Chen Wu looked down at her slightly bulging chest. Now she could not cover her loose clothes.
Bai Lu, who was beside him, noticed it and asked in a low voice: "Are the girl feeling uncomfortable again?"
Chen Wu nodded and said "Yes", then frowned and complained: "It seems to be tighter again."
After hearing this, Bai Lu quickly chose a slightly loose Yuebai Xiulan strapless for Chen Wu. After Chen Wu changed it, she felt that her breath was smoother.
It is now February, which is Chen Wu’s favorite time.
Because of this, Chen Wu can wear a beautiful skirt without having to wrap herself into a rice dumpling like in winter. Chen Wu chose a cherry red gold silk soft smoke spring shirt, which was customized at Jinxiufang last month. It was made three days ago and just delivered. Below | I wore a simple milky white pleated skirt with a palm-wide belt of the same color around my waist. The belt is inlaid with neatly sized pearls. Although these pearls are small, they are bright in color. At first glance, they are of high quality goods, and the beads are exactly the same size, which is very beautiful.
Although Chen Wu's breasts were slightly raised than girls of the same age, her waist was as slender as a willow without holding it, as if it would break with a little force. Her appearance followed Han's, and her figure was exactly the same as Han's. In addition, Han's unique secret recipe to raise Chen Wu, which made Chen Wu's original appearance increase to ten.
Therefore, although this natural beauty is rare, it is because of knowing how to maintain it, otherwise it would have ruined God's gift.
Chen Wu originally wanted to go to Xueju to find Chen Miao, but Chen Miao came to Minglan Xiaozhu one step ahead.
Chen Miao entered Chen Wu's bedroom and saw Chen Wu standing in front of a carved Western mirror that was tall, probably because he was not right. Chen Miao naturally understood the temper of this sister. If there was a slight dissatisfaction with her clothes, her brows would be tightly twisted.
She looked at the delicate back of the little girl in front of her and called out: "Sister Six."
Hearing Chen Miao's voice, Chen Wu turned around. She saw that Chen Miao rarely wore a pink spring shirt today, and her lower body was also a white magnolia skirt embroidered with white magnolia flowers. Chen Miao's temperament was extraordinary, and she was even more undecent and generous, and graceful.
"Fifth Sister." Chen Wu bent her lips and called out.
But Chen Miao was a little lost.
She knew that these six sisters looked beautiful since childhood. Now she saw Chen Wu dressing up carefully, her tender pretty face was dyed with a smile, and her glass-like eyes were filled with bright colors. Chen Wu was carved with jade when she was young, and the jade snow was cute. Now the little girl is growing up slowly, which is even more beautiful.
The most rare thing is that Chen Wu is not as restrained as a lady from a noble family, but is free and easy. She laughs when she is happy, and never pretends to be happy when she is unhappy. She likes her straightforward temperament the most.
But her six sisters were a little too beautiful. Chen Miao curled her eyelashes and remembered that day when she accidentally heard what her father said, she felt a little worried.
But it was only a moment. Chen Miao quickly stepped forward and held Chen Wu's hand, bent his lips slightly to look at Chen Wu's eyebrows and eyes, and sighed with emotion: "Sixth sister is so beautiful."
It is naturally a joy to be praised by others, not to mention the fifth sister she admired since childhood. Chen Wu smiled and said angrily: "The fifth sister is used to making fun of her sister."
After that, the two of them came out of the Duke of Dingguo Mansion together.
·
The Palm Moon Palace is the residence of Princess Mingyue. As the name suggests, it means the bright moon in the palm.
Besides, the three words "Zhangyue Palace" were mentioned by Emperor Jiayuan's emperor's pen. Such favoritism further shows Emperor Jiayuan's love for this daughter. Princess Mingyue, such a pretty and cute little girl, is naturally popular, but outsiders say: Most of the reason why Emperor Jiayuan likes Princess Mingyue is because of Concubine Wan.
Speaking of Concubine Wan, Chen Wu remembered King Qi and Fu Zhan.
Since that day, King Qi Fu Zhan has never been to the Duke Dingguo Mansion again, which makes her feel a little relieved. Naturally, she would not think that King Qi was of any meaning to her, after all, she was just a thirteen-year-old girl. Moreover, if she really had to compare, Chen Miao and Shen Hao had much better reputation than her.
Chen Wu followed Chen Miao in and happened to meet Princess Yuxuan. Three girls of the same age have been familiar with each other since childhood, so they naturally talked and laughed, and were not very restrained for a while.
The three of them walked into the flower hall.
Princess Mingyue was surrounded by a bunch of little girls. Looking at the pile of flowers and green willows, Princess Mingyue was as dazzling as the stars holding the moon. Today is her birthday, so Princess Mingyue was naturally wearing a festive and smiling face. When she saw Chen Wu coming, her almond eyes lit up and she hurriedly walked out of the crowd.
Chen Miao Chen Wu and Princess Yuxuan immediately saluted: "See Your Highness the Princess."
Princess Mingyue hurriedly smiled and helped the three of them up, saying, "There is no need to be polite for three sisters", then looked at Chen Wu on the left and sighed, "Sister Wu is so beautiful today."
Chen Wu was stunned for a moment, obviously caught off guard by Princess Mingyue's title. Even Princess Yuxuan and Shen Miao were a little surprised. However, Princess Mingyue in Yuming Villa had already expressed her love for Chen Wu that day, so it was natural that such a title was reasonable.
Princess Mingyue pulled Chen Wu and sat down with the other two girls for a while, and then went to greet the others. At this moment, Princess Yuxuan pressed Chen Wu with her elbow and looked at Chen Wu with interest, as if she wanted to see the flowers from her face, and murmured in a low voice: "You said... why did Princess Mingyue like you so much?"
Chen Wu thought about it seriously, then blinked at Princess Yuxuan and said seriously: "It's probably just looking at the face."
Hearing the words, Chen Miao beside him burst out laughing. Princess Yuxuan was also stunned, then reached out to pinch Chen Wu's pretty face and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're so pretty."
With Chen Wu's jokes, the three little girls were even more happy to talk and laugh. But after a long time, there were three or two little girls surrounding Chen Miao and Princess Yuxuan.
Chen Miao is very famous in the Circle City, so it is naturally not surprising that such scenes are common; and Princess Yuxuan is also very popular, and girls of the same age like to be with her even more. As for Chen Wu, she rarely attends such occasions, and she is still a naive face. Although her appearance is dazzling, women like to compare the most.
Looking at Chen Wu's outfit today, although she is not eye-catching among these noble girls, her appearance is too eye-catching.
In Yancheng's noble women's circle, in terms of talent and knowledge, the Shen family's two beauties, Chen Miao and Shen Ma. However, Chen Miao is a concubine after all. No matter how talented and knowledgeable, the girls look down on her and don't like to be with her. Only some concubines who are sympathetic and pitiful are willing to make friends with Chen Miao, but they sincerely admire Chen Miao.
But Yan Cheng is at the foot of the emperor after all, so how could there be no outstanding talented woman? The two county lords of Princess Zhaohua, Jiamin and Jiayi, can compete with the two people of the Dingguo Duke's Mansion.
So subtly, Yancheng's noble women's circle was invisibly divided into several factions. Although it looked extremely harmonious with the sisters, those were just superficial.
Chen Wu was so happy that she was free and sat on the embroidery pillow and ate plum blossom cake. However, Lixia beside her couldn't stand it anymore, so she reminded Chen Wu: "Will the girl not go chat?"
Chen Wu knew that although her mother had been strict in the past few years, her attitude had changed significantly now. She understood that even a woman had to learn to communicate. Even if she was not happy in her heart, she had to learn to do this. After Lixia reminded her, Chen Wu planned to go to Chen Miao's side - after all, Chen Miao was her sister, and others would not make things difficult for her.
Chen Wu stood up and tidied up the hem of her clothes, but found that a snow-white kitten suddenly came into the flower hall.
The kitten was very beautiful, with snow-white body without a single hair, and a pair of blue eyes. It looked like a high-quality Persian cat. Chen Wu liked cats and had mentioned it to Han many times, but Han was worried that his daughter would not do her job all day long. If she raised a cat, she would waste her studies. Besides, these cats and dogs were beasts after all, and were afraid of hurting her daughter.
Han has always been very principled, and Chen Wu naturally dared not mention it again because of this tough attitude.
But I didn't know how Chen Qian learned it, so I thought of a way to get a cat to keep, and often show off in front of her, which made Chen Wu feel even more unhappy.
Today, I saw the cat's chubby body like a small ball, and its body was clean. At a glance, I knew it was very well taken care of. Chen Wu bent her eyes, took a piece of plum blossom cake, bent down to feed the cat. However, the cat was not afraid of life. After calling a few times, she ate the plum blossom cake in her hand, and then ran out of the flower hall.
Chen Wu was happy in her heart. She didn't have any time to chat with others, so she just followed the cat out. Seeing that Lixia was in a state of distant position, she turned her head and said, "You can stay here forever, I'll come."
After speaking, he lifted up his skirt and walked out.
The yard is full of plum blossoms. Although it is now in bloom, the fragrance is still there, and the fragrance is very pleasant. The flower hall is extremely lively, but the yard is very calm. Chen Wu looked at the snow-like cat and smiled and chased after her cheeks. After trotting for a few steps, her pretty face was fluffy, and even her smooth forehead was covered with sweat.
After walking along the bluestone path for a while, the cat entered the octagonal pavilion in front. Chen Wu bent her lips and smiled, and continued to follow her.
only--
Chen Wu chased her too much, but she didn't notice that there was someone in the pavilion.
Chen Wu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her eyes. She saw the snow-white cat rolling obediently on the ground, rubbing her little head against the man in the white robe sitting in the pavilion.
Chen Wu immediately smiled and looked at the man in front of her, then saluted with panic: "See Your Highness King Qi."
Fu Zhan reached out and touched the little head of the kitten on the ground. He saw that his fingers were slender and as white as jade. He rubbed his fingertips gently, looking at him and wishing he would become his cat and enjoy his gentle caress.
He raised his head when he heard the sound, his black eyes were deep, and he quietly looked at the little girl's trembling body, and his lips were bent. The little girl seemed to have dressed up carefully today, with a red shirt and white skirt, a draped black bun, and a bright little face three more beautiful than the blooming red plum blossoms in the yard.
"Miss Shen Liu doesn't have to be too polite." Fu Zhan opened his thin lips lightly, but there was no expression on his face.
Chen Wu stood up straight and then raised her eyes carefully. But she didn't look at Fu Zhan, and then the little white cat squatting at Fu Zhan's feet. At first she thought the cat belonged to Princess Mingyue, but she didn't expect that the cat belonged to King Qi. Chen Wu thought again: It makes sense that a little girl likes kittens and puppies. Why does he, a big man, like kittens? It's really strange.
Chen Wu glanced at her for a few seconds, thinking that it was inappropriate for the lonely man and widowed woman to be here, so she bowed and prepared to leave.
"Miss Shen Liu." Fu Zhan called out.
"Hmm?" Chen Wu turned around, her beautiful eyes dyed suspicious. She slid her lips and wanted to ask him what was going on, but she found that Fu Zhan's face was pale and her lips were a little pale.
Chen Wu was immediately frightened.
She had heard that King Qi Fu Zhan was weak, but he was a medicine jar that had been around for many years. Now seeing his expression, Chen Wu was flustered for a moment and didn't know what to do?
Just now, Fu Zhan looked at her with his phoenix eyes, and said slowly, "Can Miss Shen Liu help me?" hf();
