The word "pastime" carries a sense of nonchalance and infinite temptation, as if you can do whatever you want and don't take it to heart.
Zhou Buyan's eyes were full of ridicule.
What does the concubine of the State of Wu want to do? She doesn’t think that finding someone similar to His Majesty can replace His Majesty, right?
It's simply an idiot's dream.
As if she knew how Zhou Buyan would ridicule him, Mrs. Wu explained later.
"Of course, this woman is not even half as good as the Empress of Chu, but her skin is somewhat similar, so that's why we say it can be used for entertainment."
"But a skin like this can also help people if used properly."
"For example, you can use it in other places and use it to attract other people's attention."
"If General Zhou has used the Love Gu and is afraid of being found out, he can take his beloved and fly far away from the Dachu Palace. From now on, it will be just the two of you."
"You don't have to worry about taking away your loved one and causing chaos in Chu. You can ask this skin for help. She will be a very useful tool."
"You don't have to worry about backlash if she disobeys. The medicine in the black porcelain bottle can control her."
The first daughter of the State of Wu sent a provocative letter, and the second one gave an even more powerful gift, directly giving out several ideas.
Zhou Buyan quickly read the letter. He didn't know whether to say that Mrs. Wu really valued him, or that she looked down on him.
After scanning the two porcelain bottles, Zhou Buyan did not touch them, but looked at the woman in white.
The woman in white knew that he had finished reading the letter, and thinking of her mission, she saluted Yingying, "Culture girl Chu Chu has met the general, but the general makes the decision."
She was docile and allowed Zhou Buyan to do whatever he wanted.
Not only does the person look like Chu Xingchen, but his name is also Chu Chu.
After the wife was pregnant, she had been away for a long time, and suddenly saw someone who was so similar to her sweetheart. Many people might be so excited that they couldn't help but take action.
Zhou Buyan also took action.
He casually took the spare rag, threw it and landed it on Chu Chu's face, covering her face.
"If you don't want to be disfigured, don't face me with this face in the future. When I look at it, I just want to cut it a few times."
Chu Chu, who was about to take off the rag, was stunned.
She didn't know that this was the result of Zhou Buyan's forbearance. If it were before, he would have ruined such a face immediately.
He didn't care about his image in the minds of others, but since he was pregnant, Chu Xingchen had always said that he would do more good deeds, hoping that such blessings would fall on Xiao Bingcubi.
Appearance is very important to a person, and he doesn't want to see blood for the sake of a small ice cube.
"If it's disguised, deal with it immediately. If it's not, then find a way to deal with the face yourself if you still want to live."
If she didn't handle it by herself, he would have to figure it out himself.
After Zhou Buyan finished speaking, he called the boy, "Take her down and interrogate her carefully. Don't let her show her face again."
Zhou Buyan dealt with the letter again and threw the two bottles of medicine directly into the fire.
No matter what kind of Gu insect they are, these things are always afraid of fire.
He didn't believe Wu's wife, and he knew that some poisonous insects would burrow directly into the skin as long as they touched the skin, so he didn't even open it.
Zhou Buyan is a little annoyed with this daughter of the Wu Kingdom, who is always trying to sow discord.
The appearance of Chu Chu touched his bottom line even more.
Just because he was too lazy to respond didn't mean he had no temper. He had to fight back no matter what.
When she started to stir up discord before, Zhou Buyan actually made some counterattacks, and now I think it has had some effect.
Zhou Buyan thought for a moment and made some additional arrangements, trying to find a way to keep Wu Guotai busy and prevent her from thinking about them all the time.
On the Wu side, Zhou Buyan's previous counterattack was indeed effective. Although the status of Wu's concubine was stable, it was not all smooth sailing.
For example, the Emperor of Wu suddenly became more suspicious of her recently, and even suspected that she wanted to force him into the palace, which made her frightened every day and did not dare to act rashly.
And this was just the beginning. After getting up early the next day, Zhou Buyan took the portrait of the Princess of Wu from the shadow and asked people to look for someone who looked like the Princess of Wu.
If he finds one, he will also send someone who looks exactly like Wu Guotai's daughter so that he can use it when he sees it.
After he was ordered to go down, he asked the boy, "How was the interrogation? Are there any traces of disguise on the face?"
"This woman is from the Wu Kingdom. She knows very little about it. After being found, she was sent directly to Dachu. She was only asked to obey your orders. The rest has not yet been arranged."
"There's something strange about her face, but it's true. There's no trace of disguise."
It's a bit troublesome that there are no traces of disguise. Zhou Buyan said directly, "Let's take a look at her first. Don't let her appear in front of others. If she makes any moves or wants to go out, she will handle it without listening."
The concubine of the State of Wu thought she would have an invincible face, but it became an obstacle for Zhou Buyan, who completely prevented her from appearing in front of others again.
He didn't know how to use any of the ideas given by Mrs. Wu, and what she said was completely idiotic.
But such a face must not fall into the wrong hands, lest it cause trouble.
The eldest daughter of the State of Wu has found such a woman. He has no use here, and maybe she will be used in other places.
For example, Xiao Wang, Shen Cangzhu, Ling Zhou, and even Xie Ziqing are all possible.
Although based on his understanding of them, they may not necessarily do anything in their heart, but just in case, he must stop Chu Chu from going to them.
In short, I can't disgust Your Majesty, and I can't be used by others.
If you can't kill her, you can only look for a place to look around first, just to see if there is anything that can be dug out of Chu Chu, and whether she has any new moves next.
After making arrangements, Zhou Buyan returned to the palace.
Chu Xingchen had already had breakfast and went to court. Someone was responsible for her daily nutrition and food, and she even started taking care to avoid stretch marks.
Although his belly was getting bigger and he was starting to feel a little clumsy, Chu Xingchen was not so nervous anymore.
She began to wear specially enlarged maternity clothes, and she could go up and down and do whatever she was supposed to do. After all, it was normal for her to be pregnant and go to work, but this year's summer was extremely hot.
But Chu Xingchen was pregnant, so he didn't dare to be as greedy for cold as before, and he felt a little irritable every time he was hot.
She is already emotionally sensitive during pregnancy and is more likely to get angry. Fortunately, no matter whether she is irritable or angry, Zhou Buyan will never be impatient.
She was hot at night, so he tried his best to cool her down. Sometimes when he woke up in the middle of the night, he would see Zhou Buyan fanning her.
"Go to bed quickly, otherwise Little Ice Cube will think I abused you."
Chu Xingchen woke up that night and saw Zhou Buyan fanning her again, and hurriedly pulled him to sleep.
Chu Xingchen put Zhou Buyan's hand on his belly, "Contact more with the ice cubes, and we will start prenatal education later."
Chu Xingchen introduced prenatal education, but Zhou Buyan accepted it very quickly, so there were often scenes of Chu Xingchen eating and Zhou Buyan reading poetry.
Zhou Buyan did prenatal care for a few days. During this period, Na Chuchu was watched but did nothing.
I didn't look for him, nor did I look for Shen Cangzhu and the others.
Ask her not to show her face and cover her face every day when she does show up.
According to observation, she seems to be very calm and self-disciplined, but she seems to have forgotten what Zhou Buyan said about fixing her face.
