Chapter 346: It’s Good to Be a Subordinate

For a moment, Qin Wanru felt that the white shadow in front of her looked familiar. Seeing the white shadow running over, she hurriedly reached out and hugged her. There was a soft "meow" sound in her ear. After taking a closer look, she saw that it was indeed the one Chu Liuchen was holding in the past. The white cat, now nestled in Qin Wanru's arms, was quite docile and "meowed" twice.

The two people on the ground were dumbfounded. For a moment, they couldn't even scream, and their faces were red with embarrassment.

When the two maids saw that their young lady had made a fool of herself, they hurriedly put the medicinal materials in Yu Jie's hands, came over to help the two of them up, and then stood up. Before they could say anything, they saw the door of the moon cave in front of them. Several eunuchs rushed out.

The first one was Xiao Xuanzi. When he saw the two young ladies who were still in shock, he immediately shouted: "Come here, drive them out. They actually scared His Highness's favorite cat and dared to throw it out. If it breaks, , which of you can afford to pay!"

"Your Majesty... His Majesty's favorite cat?" The two of them were dumbfounded. No one expected that this cat had such a big influence.

"If you don't drive them away, maybe His Highness will come here in person!" Xiao Xuanzi said in a sharp voice with an angry look on his face.

The two guards came over immediately, drawing out the swords in their hands with fierce expressions. Seeing this posture, Shao Jie'er and the young lady didn't dare to say anything. At this moment, they didn't care about etiquette. They turned around and ran out crying.

If he doesn't leave, I don't know what this King Chen will do. I've heard that this King Chen is gentle on the surface, but in fact he is ruthless. Don't kill yourself for a cat.

Thinking of some rumors about His Highness King Chen, the two of them shivered, their faces turned pale, and they almost fell down several times.

The palace maid who led the way saw this situation and had no choice but to chase after him.

These two young ladies were also chosen by the Queen Mother as concubine candidates for His Royal Highness Prince Chen. Now they seem not only to have no good manners, but also to be disrespectful. Needless to say, these two ladies will definitely be kicked out of the candidates by the Queen Mother.

Seeing the two howling ghosts running away, Xiao Xuanzi waved his hand, and several young eunuchs retreated, and the two guards also retreated to the palace gate again.

"Second Miss, please, I'm waiting for your medicinal materials!" Xiao Xuanzi nodded and bowed with a smile, which was completely different from the domineering look he had just now.

Qin Wanru nodded while holding the white cat, and followed Xiao Xuanzi inside.

As we walked all the way there, we found that the palace here was actually very large, not much smaller than the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace. Such a large scale should be much larger than most palaces in the palace, right?

"This is the palace where our father has lived since he was a child. Later, when he grew older, he asked to move out. The Queen Mother and the Emperor did not agree at first. They originally wanted me to stay in the palace, even for recuperation. It’s more convenient, but the master feels that living in the palace is noisy and must move out, so the Queen Mother and the Emperor agreed!”

Xiao Xuanzi explained with a smile.

"How old was your master at that time?" Qin Wanru asked casually.

"My master was only eight years old at that time." Xiao Xuanzi said with a smile, and then sighed, "My master was in very bad health at that time, and he was very easy to get sick. This servant was worried to death. He has been living in the house for a long time. The four imperial doctors on duty are all afraid that something will happen to our master...he is...small and weak...he is smaller than others..."

The smile on Xiao Xuanzi's face had long since disappeared, and his eyes became red when he thought of those days.

For a child who has lost his parents, no matter how kind the emperor is to him, he is not so considerate after all. The sick and weak child sits alone in a wheelchair, drinking bitter soup every day, and inexplicably feels a little extra in his heart. It's a pity that Chu Liuchen should be about the same age as Hao'er at that time.

Hao'er is seven years old now and Chu Liuchen is eight years old. He may be even younger than Hao'er!

But even so, he still wants to leave the palace and live alone, and would rather not have the care of so-called relatives...

Qin Wanru was silent for a while and stopped asking about other things. He only held the cat in his hand and gently touched it.

Chu Liuchen was in the corridor behind the inner hall. This place has a great advantage. You can get the sun but not the wind. There is a gauze outside the corridor to block the wind, and there are several heaters. As soon as I walked in, I immediately felt warm as spring.

Chu Liuchen was dressed in a snow-colored robe, with his black hair hanging down casually, and without a belt around his waist. He looked very relaxed, and even had a cool feeling with big sleeves fluttering. He was holding a bag in his hand. He was actually painting with just a pen, and he didn't turn his head when he heard the sound of the door behind him.

Xiao Xuanzi shouted: "Master!"

Chu Liuchen ignored him and continued drawing.

Xiao Xuanzi was about to shout again, but Qin Wanru waved her hand to signal him to shut up. She stepped forward and stood behind Chu Liuchen. She waited until she could see everything clearly and stared at the painting in front of her in astonishment.

Isn't this what happened at the palace gate just now?

He raised his eyes and looked outside the corridor, and then realized that this corridor was at a corner. From the diagonally opposite place, you could see the outside of the palace gate. Although it was a bit far away, you should have seen the scene just now.

Although there are only a few strokes in everything in the painting, you can see that he is holding the cat with his head down and comforting it. One on the ground is kicking and screaming, and the other is crying. No matter how embarrassed he looks, it looks so lifelike.

"How is it? Isn't it very expressive?" Chu Liuchen suddenly asked without raising his head, and did not stop writing in his hand.

"Your Highness's paintings are very unique!" Qin Wanru said helplessly as she looked at his skillful brushwork.

Such an experienced and skillful way of writing is actually just painting the ugliness of other women. It really makes people don’t know what to say. Shouldn’t the demeanor of aristocratic family members be ignored!

Ordinary family members require this, let alone Chu Liuchen, who is the king of Chen.

"Of course it is unique. When I finish the painting, I will show it to my grandmother later!" Chu Liuchen raised the corners of his handsome lips and smiled leisurely.

"The Queen Mother won't like it!" Qin Wanru paused and had to remind him.

Of course she understood what the Queen Mother meant. She had clearly prepared a few extra people. If Chu Liuchen presented this painting to the Queen Mother, he would definitely not be scolded by the Queen Mother.

From Qin Wanru's point of view, it has nothing to do with her whether to prepare more or less. It was originally Quanyi's strategy. Because it was Quanyi's strategy, she would not care about the gains and losses in terms of status.

Chu Liuchen put down the smile in his hand, shook his robe coolly, glanced sideways at Qin Wanru, his smile suddenly became gentle, and he sat down on the chair on the side: "As long as I like it!"

Xiao Xuanzi came over and asked Qin Wanru to sit down on the other side. Another young eunuch came up to serve tea and then quietly left.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will blame me!" Qin Wanru said helplessly.

"So what? Didn't you protect the king from disaster in the first place?" Chu Liuchen raised his eyebrows, a gentle smile appeared in his handsome eyes, and his expression was extremely innocent and deceptive.

Qin Wanru was extremely speechless, and even had the urge to roll her eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sending this person to me!" She suddenly felt that it would be better to change the subject.

"Don't feel grateful. If you really feel sorry for yourself, just find a way to go to Prince Chen's Mansion as early as possible to accompany me, so as to avoid the imperial grandmother sending people off to me every two days!"

Chu Liuchen said in a lazy voice.

This means that what happened today is not the first time, and certainly not the last time, and it happened that I was sent here together.

Qin Wanru bit her lip, and for a moment she felt that the deep gratitude in her heart had faded a bit. Thinking that if she really lived in Prince Chen's palace, her life would probably be difficult, and she felt inexplicably depressed. Fortunately, this emotion was just a moment. Sweeping it aside, if you regard yourself as Chu Liuchen's subordinate, this is a task, and it will not be so difficult to accept!

"My lord, how do you know about Shao Huai?" Regarding this, Qin Wanru was still full of doubts about how Chu Liuchen knew about it when he had missed it.

"I recognize your Fenghua Glazed Lamp," Chu Liuchen said, leaning back, reaching out to touch his chin, looking at Qin Wanru with his beautiful eyes, and said thoughtfully, " Qin Wanru, you owe me another huge favor!"

This favor was indeed great. It could be said that Qin Wanru was sent the most suitable witness when he needed it most.

Qin Wanru stood up and said helplessly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but Your Majesty has told me that the little girl will not hesitate to be broken into pieces!"

"It's not necessary to be broken into pieces. I just need someone who can make the imperial grandmother less annoying. You can come to see me if you have nothing to do in the future. I have been living in the palace to recuperate during this period." Chu Liuchen said leisurely road.

"How...how do I enter the palace?" Qin Wanru looked surprised. This is the imperial palace, and even ordinary aristocratic families cannot enter it casually.

"There is a waist card here. Just take it. When you enter the palace from now on, go see the Queen's Grandmother first, and then come to me. The Queen's Grandmother won't say anything!" Chu Liuchen reached out and took a sign from the desk. Come over and hand it to Qin Wanru.

"Isn't this... not good?" Qin Wanru didn't dare to reach out and take it.

"What are you afraid of? I have sent out several brands like this!" Chu Liuchen said nonchalantly, his eyes fell on Qin Wanru, and suddenly his head moved forward, almost touching Qin Wanru's face. The eyes on Zhang Junmei's face were full of spring, and Qin Wanru was so frightened that he stepped back hastily.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you will fall in love with me and be unwilling to leave me in the future?"

"..." Qin Wanru bit the corner of Yin Hong's lips, "The prince is joking, how dare I!"

She has never thought about it. She is just Chu Liuchen's shield. She knows this very clearly. In this life, this is what she should repay to Chu Liuchen. It is a repayment and a transaction. Qin Wanru has no intention of doing so. A little bit of personal emotion is included.

What's more, she can't afford this evil prince. He is not the harmless and elegant person in front of her. This image of a handsome boy who looks like a handsome boy walking out of a landscape painting must be superficial. This person will be in the future. A ruthless character who inherits a great treasure and tramples all the heirs under his feet.

Qin Wanru feels that it is good to be a capable subordinate. Even if she does not get married in the future, she can live a good life with Chu Liuchen as her support!

"Then give me a painting!" Chu Liuchen looked at Qin Wanru with a half-smile, then suddenly turned his head back, his elegant demeanor was gone, and there was a hint of evil in his eyes. The whole person's temperament changes, and it immediately makes people feel as if they are a different person...
