Chapter 352
"You can leave it alone, I'll tell you when I try." Gu Xici's face was full of impatience.
"Heh, this person hasn't married yet, what kind of posture is Princess Zhao putting on here, it's really arrogant!"
Gu Xici wanted to send this mother-in-law away, but he didn't expect that the mother-in-law didn't leave, but a few more plague gods came.
Seeing the golden trio standing at his door, Gu Xici had a headache. Are these people annoying, why do they always find ways to toss her!
Gu Huaqing is wearing a set of pink gauze skirts today, with a few big peonies delicately embroidered on it, as well as the hot gold edge, and at a glance, he knows that the identity of the person wearing this body is not low.
"I won't be polite to the second sister, sit down, and pour the tea yourself." Gu Xici sat directly on the main seat, she didn't even look at them, and she didn't want to pay attention to them when she heard them speak, anyway, what they could show off in front of her was just a few words, and she had already formed immunity.
Gu Huaqing didn't expect his fist to hit the soft cotton, and he was even more depressed, he looked back at Li Mengyi, and said hatefully: "Big lady, look at the third sister, what kind of picture is this, this is not married yet, she already has such a big temper, and you look at her, there are still elders here, and she will go directly to the main position, what kind of system is this!" If she really became Princess Zhao, her nose would not be sent to the sky! β
Gu Xici snorted coldly and drank the tea in his hand, unaffected.
Li Mengyi followed behind Gu Huaqing, and behind her was Gu Wanqing, who had not made a sound.
The reason why she became the target of public criticism that day was eighty percent because of Gu Wanqing. If she hadn't deliberately stabbed her in the back that day, but with the testimony of a subordinate, it would not have been enough to convince the public. This Gu Wanqing, who usually looks like Svenwen, even speaks softly, which is fundamentally different from her mother, but when it comes to doing things, she is a hundred times more vicious than her mother.
Looking at the three people in this line, Gu Xici felt that Gu Wanqing was the one she should be most wary of.
Li Mengyi pulled the corner of Gu Huaqing's clothes and motioned her to shut up. Now that Gu Xici has become Princess Zhao, it is already a sure thing, in this room, her status is the highest among the four people for the time being, if things are done too much, when Gu Xici sues in front of King Zhao, they may really be finished.
Gu Huaqing was unconvinced, but when he saw that Li Mengyi stopped talking, he naturally had no choice but to shut up.
Gu Xici watched every move of several of them.
"Three girls, the clothes sent by the mother-in-law are the fabrics that the mother-in-law personally picked, and the palace has always only produced design drawings, and the costumes still have to be made by the mother's own family. It's not far from your wedding now, and now you can change it if you find that the clothes don't fit, and it's too late! Li Mengyi changed her usual vicious appearance, but stood beside Gu Xici cordially, with a flattering face.
The mother-in-law next to her also knew how to read her face, and when she heard Li Mengyi say this, she hurriedly handed her clothes to Gu Xici.
Gu Xici glanced at it and said lightly: "Okay, just let it go." I like both the style and the color, so go back first. β
"Don't be in a hurry, it's nothing anyway, you can try it, three girls, and let us witness Princess Zhao's demeanor first!" Li Mengyi did not relent, and personally took the clothes and handed them to Gu Xici.
Gu Xici could see that if he didn't try this dress today, it seemed that this iron triangle would not leave.
In desperation, she had no choice but to put down the teacup, pick up the coat, and drape it on her body at will. The woman saw that Gu Xi was willing to change her clothes, and hurriedly stepped forward to help tidy up.
The bright red wedding dress was worn on Gu Xici's body, which set off her snow-white skin even more, and the slightly raised corners of her eyes, there was an indescribable cold arrogance. Because she didn't go out, Gu Xici didn't rub the powder, but this appearance without fat powder made her more dexterous and cute.
Even Li Mengyi couldn't believe her eyes, for so many years, how could they never know that Gu Xici's plain makeup was so charming? In the past, Gu Xici's favorite thing was to rub a thick layer of fat powder on his face, as well as the red and green clothes, how to look at how he couldn't get on the table.
And after she fell into the water, she dressed in a different style. If it is not necessary, Gu Xici has always been in a state of plain face, and she has endured the ordinary clothes of burlap given to her one by one, without noise or noise, even her hair, as long as she does not go out, she is simply tied with a strip of cloth.
Li Mengyi didn't bother to pay attention to her, and she usually didn't want to look at her more. And now when Gu Xici changed into a gorgeous dress, he unexpectedly had a feeling of imposing momentum, and he was like the inconspicuous woman before.
Looking at Gu Xici's current appearance, Gu Wanqing couldn't help but clench her fists. forcibly squeezed out a smile on his face, took Li Mengyi's hand and said coquettishly: "Mother, the third sister is wearing this dress just right, and I also think that when I get married, it would be good to have such a wedding dress!" β
"Qing'er wants it too!" Gu Huaqing immediately said. She didn't know if Gu Wanqing was pretending to be pretending, but she really wanted to dress like this to get married. is also the concubine of the prime minister's family, but the fates of her and Gu Xici are very different. If one day she can get the position of a concubine like Gu Xici, it will definitely be a blessing from her previous life.
"What a stupid boy, when you get married, the card must be like this, you can relax!" Li Mengyi touched Gu Wanqing's hair and said with a smile.
"That's it, sister, don't forget, you are the crown princess of the Great Chu Kingdom, and that pomp will definitely be bigger and more magnificent than now, but it is not comparable to ordinary princesses!" Gu Huaqing flattered, his eyes crossed Gu Xici's body, and then said, "Now you will definitely have what the third sister has, and you will also have what the third sister doesn't have!" β
Gu Xici's ears were calloused when he heard these words, these three guys didn't know what to say well, and they turned around here, and she didn't understand what they wanted to express for most of the moment.
Gu Xici took off his clothes, put them aside, and said, "Madam, I have already tried on the clothes, they fit perfectly." Turning his eyes, he glanced at Gu Wanqing and Gu Huaqing, who were still immersed in fantasy, smiled and said, "But it's a pity, when my sister gets married, I can only take a look at it from a distance at the wedding banquet, and I don't have the opportunity to appreciate it up close now!" β
Gu Xici's meaning was very clear, she was no longer in the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time, even if they didn't have much to do with her at that time, no matter how beautiful they were.
Who wouldn't say this kind of yin and yang weirdness, it's really naΓ―ve.
The faces of the mother and daughter darkened, they didn't expect Gu Xici to be so uninteresting.
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, please go back, wait for the grandmother in the palace to come, if you are really idle and have nothing to do, I don't mind if you are watching from the side." Gu Xici patted the clothes on his body and looked like a send-off.
"Gu Xici, don't be embarrassed! We kindly sent you clothes, you didn't have a word of thanks, the eldest lady has entered your room, you don't give her a seat, you don't give a cup of water, and now you want to kick us out? Gu Huaqing looked at Gu Xici and shouted.
"Wet market! What a noise! Suddenly, a thick voice came from outside the door, and I saw Li Mengyi's three people's faces change, and they immediately stood quietly aside.
Gu Yuan's court clothes hadn't changed yet, and his eagle-like eyes swept around the people in the room, "As soon as I came back, I heard you, you are making a lot of noise here, do you want you to do something?" β
"Office...... That's it...... But I ......" Li Mengyi still wanted to defend herself, but looking at Gu Yuan's slightly frowning brows, all her words were suffocated back into her stomach.
"I'll go out when I'm done, I have something to say to Xici." Gu Yuan said coldly.
Gu Wanqing pulled her mother's clothes and shook her head. Although he was unwilling, in front of Gu Yuan, a few people should not make a mistake.
Gu Huaqing came out of Gu Xici's room and glared at her residence indignantly, "Big lady, look at her arrogant appearance today, is she just a princess Zhao, what's the big deal!" β
"Shut up, it's not enough to think it's enough!" Li Mengyi was upset and scolded.
"When you also get the title of princess, you can be even more amazing than her." Gu Wanqing looked at Gu Huaqing coldly.
The words of the two of them were blocked so that Gu Huaqing had nothing to say, she bit her lower lip, and the muffled voice was even more behind them. Although she has been following behind Li Mengyi and Gu Wanqing, she knows very well in her heart that they don't regard her as a second lady at all, but a personal maid.
Li Mengyi was dissatisfied, "I don't know which girl has the ability to envelop your father!" You see your father is running to that girl all day long, talking and helping her, we are like a side room. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, "It's better for Gu Xici to leave early, out of sight and out of mind." β
"Mother, don't worry, that girl will naturally have someone to take her in!" Gu Wanqing comforted.
Li Mengyi frowned, looked at Gu Wanqing with a sworn look, and couldn't help asking, "Do you know anything?" Why do you say such things? Looking at Gu Wanqing worriedly, "Child, don't do anything stupid, you have to ......"
Li Mengyi turned the rest of the words into eyes and passed them to Gu Wanqing.
Gu Wanqing smiled slightly, leaned into Li Mengyi's ear, and said softly: "I know, I want the world to be my mother in the future!" Then she whispered to Li Mengyi: "Mother, you have to believe me, you will know after a while." β
Li Mengyi was confused, but she knew that Gu Wanqing had always done things in a measured manner, and since she had said so, she must have known it in her heart.
"Okay, mother believes in you!"
Gu Wanqing nodded with satisfaction.
The mother and daughter held hands, talking and laughing all the way away, and they didn't notice it at all, and there was a trace of resentment in the eyes of Gu Huaqing, who was following them.
*
Watching Li Mengyi walk away with her two daughters, Gu Yuan sat down opposite Gu Xici.
"The big wedding thing ......"
"I think you're doing a great job." Before Gu Xici could finish speaking, Gu Yuan interrupted.
Gu Xici couldn't help but widen her eyes, she couldn't understand it anymore, a smile crossed her face, and she said calmly: "I don't quite understand what the prime minister means." β
Gu Yuan poured himself a cup of tea and said slowly, "Next, you only need to help me do one thing, monitor Chu Jin." He stared at Gu Xici, "Recently, Chu Jin has been very abnormal, you have to keep an eye on his movements at all times, if there is any news, tell me immediately!" β
Gu Xici was as calm as water on the surface, but he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart. Gu Yuan is really different from others. Chu Jin has always looked sick, and it is impossible for him to pose a threat to anyone. Even the crown prince and king Cheng in the dynasty did not regard Chu Jin as their opponent, how could this Gu Yuan have a whim to spy on Chu Jin?
I still underestimated this prime minister before!
Although she slowly questioned in her heart, she knew in her heart that the more she knew about these things, the more wrong she became, and it was best not to say a word when she shouldn't ask.
"It's just to spy on King Zhao, and it's not the way to join King Zhao's Mansion, right?" Gu Xici said cautiously, "After all, I am a woman, and I have really become Princess Zhao, and my actions may be ......."
"You have a lot of tricks in Netherworld, you don't need me to remind you to use that trick, do you?" Gu Yuan didn't intend to listen to Gu Xici's words, so he interrupted directly.
Gu Xici smiled helplessly in his heart.
"Naturally, this doesn't need to be reminded by the prime minister, but isn't our goal always to become a king? If you suddenly change the object at this time, then King Cheng's side ......"
"King Cheng has made other arrangements, you just need to keep an eye on King Zhao."
Hearing Gu Yuan say this, Gu Xici nodded and didn't ask any more.
If the Netherworld Valley didn't send anyone over, then the person who went to find out the news of King Cheng should be Xiaohong.
"Okay, you have to prepare well in the past few days, and it will be a kiss in a few days." Gu Yuan got up. Seeing that Gu Xici seemed to be going to send him, he waved his hand and refused.
"Prime Minister let's go." Watching Gu Yuan leave his courtyard, Gu Xici sat down.
She looked at the tea cup in her hand and suddenly called, "Xiaohong! β
"It's coming! What does the young lady command? Xiaohong thought that the group of people were still in Gu Xici's room just now, and trotted in with a caring look, and after seeing that there was no one in the room, she resumed her previous disdain, pulled a stool and sat down casually, looked at Gu Xici coldly, and asked in an unkind tone, "What's wrong?" β
Since Xiaohong exposed herself in front of everyone last time, Gu Xici has never put on a good face for her, and he doesn't want to ask her for help. This woman was by her side, not at all, but a time bomb, and it was very likely that she would have been killed that day.
I thought that after the events of that day, there would be some movement on the side of the Netherworld Valley, but until she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was no news at all, and Xiaohong was still by her side.
"Gu Yuan and Chu Jin, is there anything I don't know?" Gu Xici looked at Xiaohong and sat down opposite her.
Xiaohong was stunned when she heard this, and replied, "How can I know about this kind of thing?" You're a jack of all trades! She thought that Gu Xi would ask her directly about the enclosure that day, but she didn't expect it to be this.
"You're lying." Gu Xici took a sip of water and said calmly while staring at Xiaohong's eyes.
Xiaohong was startled and accidentally reflected her psychological thoughts.
"I wasn't sure at first, but now I'm 100% sure you're lying to me." The corners of Gu Xici's mouth hooked up a smile, and he said coldly.
was deceived by Gu Xici like this, Xiaohong was like a cat with its tail stepped on, and yelled at Gu Xici: "Gu Xici, why are you like this!" β
"I'll wait for your answer, remember, don't try to deceive me, I can tell." Gu Xici sat calmly in his position, looking at Xiaohong's gaze and couldn't help but chill.
Xiaohong only found out now that she didn't dare to look at Gu Xici. The current Gu Xi's words made her feel scared, but she held on, deliberately opened her eyes and said, "I don't even know what you're talking about!" I'm just surprised that you asked me this question, why, can't it be a little surprised? Don't forget, I'm higher than you, and you're just a dog under mine! β
She won't tell Gu Xici these news, even if Gu Xici forces her, she won't reveal half a point.
Looking at that disgusting face, Xiaohong's heart was about to burst into flames. In her mind, she unconsciously appeared Luqiu Xie Lan's courteous appearance towards Gu Xici, it was this woman who snatched all Lu Qiu Xie Lan's attention! Such a person does not deserve to receive news from her!
Gu Xici knew that his mouth was very tight in this line of work, and so was Xiaohong. However, she never intended to get any information out of Xiaohong's mouth, she just wanted to see Xiaohong's reaction.
She had now gotten what she wanted from Xiaohong's appearance. Between Gu Yuan and Chu Jin, there was really something she didn't know.
"This is the antidote for this month, take it and eat it." Suddenly, Xiaohong stretched out her hand and placed a black pill in front of Gu Xici.
