A few years ago, Gu Guanqi appeared in the Dingbei Hou Mansion under the name of Qi Wan'er. The Fang clan almost accepted her as a righteous daughter.

With this layer, it is logical for Gu Wanqi to appear in the Dingbei Hou Mansion today.

Gu Guanqi's true identity is tacitly known to everyone. Gu Jinli, his younger brother, saw Gu Guanqi, and only called Miss Qi.

After Cui Junyao saw "Miss Qi", she deliberately showed an unkind expression on her face, and said with a smile: "I heard that Miss Qi is doing a medicinal herb business in the border city, and she and Hou Ye often meet and communicate. ”

Gu Guanqi: "......"

Everyone: "......"

Gu Wanqi resisted the urge to laugh out loud, and explained seriously: "The Minnu and the Hou Ye have indeed met. Hou Ye learned that the Minnu had saved Mrs. Fang San, so he took care of me a lot. I usually treat me as a sister.,There's no selfishness between men and women.。 Don't get me wrong, ma'am. ”

Cui Junyao showed a relieved look again, and took Gu Wanqi's hand affectionately: "Master Hou regards you as a righteous sister, and you will treat me as a sister-in-law in the future." ”

Gu Guanqi smiled and said yes.

Liu Shi and Fang Yunxiu looked at each other and smiled.

Mrs. Tai also felt relieved when she saw it in her eyes.

Xiao Xu has been on the throne for several years, and the position of the Son of Heaven has been firmly seated. The old story back then, even if some people were suspicious, they would never dare to turn it out. Gu Wanqi appeared in front of people as Qi Wan'er, and there was no big problem.

"Third child," Mrs. Tai said with a smile: "You and the Fang clan will recognize this righteous daughter!"

Gu Wanqi was stunned and raised her head.

Grandmother's loving gaze fell on her face, and her voice was soft: "It's not a big deal for our Gu family to recognize a righteous daughter. With a name, it is more convenient to travel in the future. ”

Gu Wanqi's nose was sour, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and called out to his grandmother.

The corners of Mrs. Tai's eyes were also a little moist, and she smiled and said: "Silly girl, no matter how particular you are, you have to put on two family banquets, and change your mouth to recognize your relatives." ”

Gu Guanqi obediently answered yes.

Fang Clan and Gu Hai glanced at each other, and their hearts were excited.

It's really not a big deal. There is no need to announce it to the public, your family knows it.

At the behest of Mrs. Tai, that night, the Dingbei Hou Mansion set up two family banquets. Gu Guanqi toasted the tea one by one and changed her words to admit her relatives.

……

From this day on, Gu Guanqi lived in the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

Still the same as a few years ago, living in the courtyard of the guest house. After getting up early every day to greet Gu Haifang's family, he led the steward to the inn.

Fang had no choice but to muttered a few times in front of Gu Hai: "This Guan Qi, now he has a big idea. Let her stay in the house longer, she refuses, and has to go to the inn every day. He also said that he would take this opportunity to get acquainted with Chinese herbal medicine merchants in Beijing. The good girl's family is busier than the man now. ”

In the complaint, there is clear pride.

Gu Hai naturally understood his wife's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Whatever she wants to do, it's up to her! ”

"Isn't it?" Fang glanced at Gu Hai intentionally or unintentionally: "What other son-in-law dares to marry such a capable woman as her?"

Gu Hai was silent.

Fang Shi simply said: "I know that you have a knot in your heart, even if you give in, you will never allow Guan Qi to marry Jin Yan in a bright and bright way." Therefore, Guan Qi is almost thirty years old, and she still wears a girl's hairstyle. ”

"For the sake of a false name, let my daughter never marry for life, and be with Jinyan without a name and no point. I can't even have a child. ”

"Is it worth it?"

Gu Hai's eyes darkened, and he looked over: "According to what you say, I should buy a dowry for Guan Qi, so that she can marry Shen Jinyan in a beautiful manner?"

"Keep it in private, and the world doesn't know it. If the wedding ceremony is performed, she and Shen Jinyan can no longer hide from the world. ”

"Even if our Gu family doesn't want to be famous, how should the emperor and the queen deal with themselves?"

"Do you really think that Guan Qi faked her death and escaped? As soon as she appeared, someone must have guessed what was going on. No one mentions it, and it's best to come and go quietly. It is absolutely impossible to marry Shen Jinyan. ”

Fang Shi was choked once, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Gu Hai let out a long sigh: "I'm not hard-hearted either. I feel more sorry for Guan Qi than anyone else. It's just that right now, it's the biggest concession I can make. ”

……

For this matter, Fang Shi cried again, and said to Gu Wanqi in private: "...... Guan Qi, don't blame your father. It's not that he is unkind, it's just that it's really inconvenient for you and Jinyan to get married. ”

Gu Wanqi wiped the tears for the Fang family with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Mother, don't be sad. I was mentally prepared for this. I'm satisfied with him, how dare I hope for more?"

"Although Jinyan and I have not performed the wedding ceremony, we have the same heart. He has me in his heart, and I have him in my heart, but it is enough that I can't stay with each other day and night. ”

Fang looked at his daughter with a calm face in a daze.

Thirty years old is not too young. Gu Guanqi has been running all year round, and she has long since lost the fair and delicate skin she had when she was in the boudoir, her complexion is slightly dark, and her face is still pretty and charming. There was not even a wrinkle at the corners of the eyes on his forehead.

It still looks the same as it did a few years ago.

It can be seen that her life is indeed very good.

"Mother, don't worry!" Gu Wanqi seemed to have seen through Fang's thoughts, and laughed softly: "I will take care of myself." It's the same with words. You don't have to worry. ”

Fang's family said after a while: "But in this way, you can't get pregnant and have children......

"Jin Yan and I have already thought about it. Gu Wanqi interrupted the Fang clan with a smile: "I plan to set up a charity hall to accommodate children without fathers and mothers. Choose a smart and well-behaved girl to raise by your side, and have the right to be our daughter. ”

It is adoption, and only girls are adopted, not boys.

This is to make up my mind and not continue the Shen family's incense.

Fang didn't know what it was like in his heart, he sighed faintly and stopped talking.

……

A few days later, Empress Gu of the Middle Palace issued an edict and summoned the female dependents of the Beihou Mansion to enter the palace for an audience.

Gu Wanqi, as Gu Hai's righteous daughter, also entered the palace with the daughters of the Gu family.

Stepping into the Jiaofang Hall after a few years of absence, Gu Guanqi sighed in his heart, but he didn't show half a point on his face. Bow with everyone in a proper manner.

When he raised his head, Gu Guanqi and Gu Guanning, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, glanced at each other.

In an instant, the two sisters' hearts were sour.

When they parted, they thought that they would never see each other again in this life.

No one expected that there would be a reunion day.

After the luncheon, Gu Guanqi finally had the opportunity to meet Gu Guanning alone.

Gu Guanning retreated from all the palace maids around him, stared at Gu Wanqi fixedly for a moment, and called out softly, "Fourth sister". Gu Guanqi held back the tears in her eyes, choked up and shouted "Second Sister".

Gu Wanning's eyes flashed with water, and he stepped forward and hugged Gu Wanqi.
