Chapter 53: Majesty
As soon as Prime Minister Gu Cheng's words were finished, Ye Shi and Gu Zhihua both turned their heads to look at him, although what he said was not wrong, how could he say such hurtful words to Gu Zhihua at this time?
Ye's heart was also unhappy, and he turned his head to Prime Minister Gu and said: "Master, our family Zhihua has a weak personality since childhood, warm and sensible, and is the pride of the Prime Minister's Mansion, fully worthy of the three princes, you can't belittle yourself just because you are a concubine, right?" ”
Gu Chengxiang turned his head to look at Ye's family, probably because there were too many things today, she didn't even have time to change into ordinary clothes, and the two of them were still wearing gorgeous clothes, but their faces were gray.
I thought about going to the palace to receive the reward this time and take Gu Yan to show off, but I didn't want it to be like this in the end, so I let her watch a good show for free.
Gu Yan sat next to her, her face was calm, although this time Liu Shixiao stood next to Gu Zhihua and gave her this reward, I didn't see how happy she was.
Sure enough, it was a good show, Gu Yan raised her eyebrows, trying her best to make herself look like nothing had changed, and at this time the Ye family transferred all her emotions to herself.
Prime Minister Gu Cheng seemed to be thinking about Ye's words, thinking that he had just said something serious about Gu Zhihua and Ye's, so he quickly took a sip of tea in embarrassment, before he said that Ye would not talk, but obviously now she seems to care very much about the relationship between this concubine, as long as she mentions it, it is like stepping on her tail.
"Even so, if you like the three princes, wouldn't you have gotten your wish now?" Gu Chengxiang said slowly, and coughed softly, as if to hide his embarrassment.
Ye Shi could also hear that Prime Minister Gu Cheng's tone softened, and he immediately felt very aggrieved, so that Gu Zhihua couldn't control his emotions at all, and said loudly: "A concubine and a wife are different, if a daughter marries a daughter, the child born can only be a concubine!" ”
Ye's face changed suddenly, what is this Gu Zhihua talking about? The atmosphere could have eased a little, but now it has become very awkward.
Gu Chengxiang had a cold face and didn't say a word, just sat there, his eyes swept over Gu Zhihua, and he gritted his teeth tightly, as if he wanted to go up and tear her apart, but as a father, he naturally couldn't do this.
"Who made you like him? If it were someone else, there would be no such situation. After a long silence, Prime Minister Gu Cheng said slowly, his voice was very cold, very powerful, and seemed to be mocking.
Gu Zhihua finally stopped talking, which made Ye Shi breathe a sigh of relief, grabbed her hand, and said to Gu Chengxiang: "Zhihua can't accept it for a while, I'll take her down to discipline her well, don't worry about it." ”
After finishing speaking, he took Gu Zhihua's hand and left, the speed was very fast, Gu Zhihua didn't seem to want to leave, if he left now, he would lose the chance to fight the last time, and he could only become Shen Zhongbai's concubine, if Gu Chengxiang could help him to intercede, maybe there would be a turnaround in this matter.
But Ye's attitude was tough, and he pulled Gu Zhihua and left.
Prime Minister Gu turned his head to look at Gu Yan, who had never reacted, laughed dryly, and said to her, "Your sister is really ...... The three princes have a good character, even if they are concubines, they can have the opportunity to be liked by him in the future, what can't they do when the time comes? Why care about such a trifle? ”
Gu Yan nodded slightly, expressing her agreement with Prime Minister Gu's words, what does her Gu Zhihua's matter have to do with herself? Just pretend not to hear.
"But Zhihua is about to get married, and you also have to think about your life's events, don't worry, your father will find you a good family." Prime Minister Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said very confidently.
Gu Chang turned her head, looked into Prime Minister Gu's eyes, and said, "Chang'er did think about her life's major events before, and now that my father took the initiative to mention it, Chang'er wants to ask my father what he means." ”
Gu Yan's man before was Shen Zhongbai, but at this time, she definitely wouldn't choose that ill-intentioned man, at this time, she wanted to probe Gu Cheng's bottom to see what position he put himself in.
If it was for the status of the Gu family to marry other official families, Gu Yan would definitely do everything possible to stop it.
Prime Minister Gu just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Gu Yan to put it in his heart, so he thought about it seriously and said: "If I find you a husband, of course, you must be virtuous, excellent, handsome and chic, and someone who is helpful to our Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
The corners of Gu Yan's mouth pulled out a mocking arc, although the last one was not deliberately emphasized, but it was obviously the most important, she was not a fool, she couldn't hear the meaning.
"What does Sister-in-law mean?" Gu Yan asked, after saying so much, Prime Minister Gu didn't ask what kind of man he wanted to find at all.
She knew that Gu Cheng didn't have any true feelings for herself, if she really took this concubine to heart, how could she ignore her when she was scarred.
Sure enough, it was because now that Gu Yan had grown up, and when it was time to talk about marriage, she had been in the limelight in the capital recently, and Prime Minister Gu finally remembered this poor girl who had been forgotten in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Gu was stunned by Gu Yan's words, seemed to be a little embarrassed, touched his nose, picked up the teacup, looked at the tea leaves in the teacup, and muttered for a while before saying, "Chang'er has a favorite son?" ”
Gu Yan shook her head and continued to look at Prime Minister Gu with a smile.
Prime Minister Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, laughed, and said: "If the son of which family does the sister-in-law fancie, just say it to the father, although it is said that Zhihua did not become the princess as he wished at this time, but the people who love each other as long as they are together, what do you say, sister-in-law?" ”
Someone in love? Gu Yan sneered in her heart, this Shen Zhongbai has no woman he likes at all, his ambition has no bounds, women are just stepping stones on his way to success, and it is just that Gu Zhihua only wants to follow Shen Zhongbai wholeheartedly.
"It seems that my sister does have a deep affection for the third prince, but the third prince doesn't like her very much, right?" Gu Yan said lightly, there was no expression on her face, this was not sarcasm, it was just the current situation.
Gu Chengxiang sighed heavily, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Ye and Gu Zhihua had not returned to the courtyard, and it seemed that they were arguing, Ye deliberately lowered his voice, for fear that Gu Chengxiang would hear it, but he still noticed it.
"You'll talk about it later, you go down first." After Gu Chengxiang finished speaking, he waved his hand, then got up and walked in the direction of Gu Zhihua, Gu Yan didn't care, when she returned to her yard, Gu Suliang got up from the chair under the tree, walked to her side, and said in a low voice: "The prince hopes that the young lady will quickly study the medicine to treat the plague." ”
Gu Yan said: "I don't have any research on medicine, I just know that this Suxin grass can cure the plague, but I don't know how to treat it." ”
Gu Su became nervous for a moment, and said to Gu Yan: "The prince heard that Gu Zhihua replaced the girl's credit, saying that the girl lost an opportunity, and now is another good opportunity, as long as you study this medicine well, he will take you to the palace to treat the queen mother, and say that success or failure is in one move." ”
Gu Yan nodded, she didn't know that this time Liu Shixiao's incident was a big blow to her, and she had to have a new chance, but how to do this prescription?
Do you want to correspond to the queen tonight? But only when something big happens, can I communicate with the queen, and I'm afraid I can't do it today.
Gu Su Liang first looked at Gu Yan for a while, and after finding that she really had nothing to do, he took her hand and said to her: "The prince seems to have expected this for a long time, and asked you to find your brother." ”
Gu Yan suddenly realized that when it comes to pharmaceuticals, Gu Huai'an is a good hand, probably because he is really tired and confused these days, and he didn't even think of this.
In the evening, Gu Yan and Gu Suliang went to Gu Huai'an on the outskirts of the city, and when they walked in, they saw that Gu Huai'an was not in the room, and after looking for a long time, they saw him sitting in the gazebo in the backyard reading a book, there was a bright candle on the table, he lowered his head, the candlelight shone on his face, his face was calm and very attentive.
Gu Yan walked to Gu Huai'an's side softly, then sat down, supported her chin with her hand, and looked at him quietly.
If it is uncontrollable, Gu Huai'an will always have to leave, Gu Chang hopes that she can spend more time with him, and fill up happiness in the memories later, instead of regretting.
Gu Huai'an looked up from the book and met Gu Yan's eyes, at that moment he felt as if his surroundings were lit up, and then said with a smile: "Why are you here?" Tired of all the way, right? Have you eaten? ”
Gu Yan just shook her head, and said in a very low voice: "Big brother, it's good to look at you like this." ”
How could Gu Huai'an know how many feelings Gu Chang contained in these words, including regret and self-blame, but Gu Chang immediately cleaned up her emotions, and her eyes lit up.
"Of course, you can watch it for as long as you want."
Gu Huai'an took out an apple from the fruit basket next to him and peeled it for Gu Yan seriously, but Gu Yan held his hand down and said to him: "Big brother, I came here this time to discuss something very important with you." ”
The movement in Gu Huai'an's hand did not stop, and he said while looking at the apple: "The Ninth Prince has already sent someone to tell me, I have prepared the prescription, in fact, the prescription for this plague is not simple, it's just that the Wishing Heart Grass is not easy to get, don't forget to bring it when you leave for a while." ”
After speaking, he handed the peeled apple to Gu Yan and said to her: "Look at you, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the whole person has lost weight." ”
