Chapter 61: Avoidance

So Gu Yan turned her head to look at Li Ziqian, the corners of her mouth rose, and she said with a faint smile: "No." ”

Many words lingered in her mouth for a long time, but she still did not say them, because she knew that some relationships could not be explained by words alone, and she did not need to explain it all to a girl whom she did not know in the first place.

Li Ziqian naturally could see that Gu Yan didn't want to explain more about her relationship with Shen Qianshan, so naturally she didn't ask more.

Sitting in front of her, poured tea for her, the fragrance of tea lingered, Gu Yan looked down at the tea leaves flying in the teacup, and the pungent fragrance, which made her brain a little clear, thinking about the Queen Mother's thoughts, she saw it thoroughly, Shen Qianshan is older, although she has no intention of finding a wife, but she has been suppressed, there are still rumors from the outside world to exert pressure, the Queen Mother is now difficult to protect herself, but she still thinks about Shen Qianshan, and it seems that she cares about him very much in her heart.

Li Ziqian sat down beside Gu Yan and said to her, "I can also see that the relationship between the two of you is not ordinary, but I don't have any feelings for the Nine Princes." ”

Gu Yan smiled awkwardly, and then said, "How does the girl know that I have that feeling for the Nine Princes?" ”

Although this girl seems to be a very chic and calm woman, there is a condescending feeling when talking and laughing, which makes Gu Yan very uncomfortable.

But fortunately, she is not a person who cares, and this little thing is not enough to take to heart.

Not long after, Shen Qianshan, who was sitting next to the courtyard, seemed to be unable to bear the loneliness, got up and dusted off the dust that didn't exist at all, walked to Gu Yan's side and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back." ”

Gu Yan hurriedly turned her head to Li Ziqian and said, "I'll go back first, and I will take you to say hello to the Queen Mother." ”

After speaking, he caught up with Shen Qianshan, who had already walked a long way.

Li Ziqian turned her head to look at the tea on the table that had not yet cooled, and suddenly her eyes narrowed, and the moment the maid walked up and took the tea away, she swept the entire table to the ground, and the maid looked at the scene in front of her in horror, and quickly knelt on the ground, and said with tears in her eyes: "The girl is angry, this is in the palace, you must not move your mind, otherwise the queen mother will know, and this matter will be serious." ”

Li Ziqian snorted coldly, and the anger in her heart was like a flame trying to devour her.

Obviously, Gu Yan took a fancy to the Nine Princes, but she refused to admit it, who doesn't know about the little things of these two people? When we have bad eyes? Li Ziqian said fiercely, and the fierce gaze in her eyes made the maid shiver all over her body.

"Wait and see, I'll let these two people be so proud?" Li Ziqian said to herself.

The maid finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Girl, don't you dislike the Nine Princes?" The nine princes don't have any real power, so it's not as good as the three princes. ”

This maid is a clever girl, Li Ziqian couldn't help but glance at this girl, and then shook her head helplessly and said, "Don't you know that the third prince is going to marry Gu Zhihua, the sister of Gu Yan?" I don't have a chance anymore. ”

After speaking, he put his hand on his head, and the maid said no more.

Here, Shen Qianshan sent Gu Yan to the queen mother's bedroom, standing at the door, he reached out and touched her head, which made her a little awkward, so he said, "What is the prince doing?" ”

Shen Qianshan didn't feel any different, raised his eyes and saw that the room was quiet at this time, and said: "Be careful in the palace, this king still has something to do, so he will leave first." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, Gu Yan looked at the old man with his back pulling in the sunset, lonely but free, which made her feel indescribable.

In the evening, after dinner, Gu Yan sat bored and sat on a chair to watch the clouds in the palace change shapes at will, which made her heart feel calm.

The Queen Mother was supported by someone and slowly walked out of the room, and Gu Yan hurriedly saluted the Queen Mother. But she didn't want the Queen Mother to sit next to her, her face was ruddy, and her complexion was very good.

"You don't have to be polite, the palace is just coming out at night to breathe, these days the palace has been in this courtyard for a long time, and I don't even know how it is outside." The Queen Mother said, looking around, it seemed that she was very appreciative of the beautiful scenery around her.

But Gu Yan didn't have such leisure, she quickly asked, "How do you feel, Queen Mother?" ”

This is her second day in the palace, if the Queen Mother has not improved at all, how will she explain?

After thinking of this, Gu Yan's hands were stirred together, and her palms were full of beads of sweat, eagerly waiting for the Queen Mother's answer.

The Empress Dowager turned her head and replied with a smile: "This palace has already been diagnosed by the imperial doctor, and the condition is improving, and it will be cured in less than three days." I didn't expect to recover so quickly, thanks to Chang'er's prescription, if you recover this time, this palace will definitely reward you. ”

Gu Yan smiled and lowered her head, looking very respectful. But there was some joy in her heart, this was the opportunity she wanted.

In the early morning of the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, a palace maid rushed in, stepped forward to shake Gu Yan awake, and said to her with an irrepressible excited expression: "Wake up, girl, the queen mother and the emperor will announce your past." ”

Gu Yan woke up suddenly, and after getting dressed, she asked, "Is it the Queen Mother's business?" ”

The palace maid is a young girl with a melon seed face, but she has been in the palace for a long time, and the whole person still has a trace of old age in the breath of a girl.

"Yes, this morning the Queen Mother found that her body was not as uncomfortable as before, summon the Imperial Doctor, guess what? All the stubborn diseases on my body are cured! The palace maid danced happily as she spoke.

The corners of Gu Yan's mouth rose, and after getting dressed, she followed the palace maid to the main hall.

In the main hall, the emperor sat in the main seat, and the queen mother next to her changed into a bright green dress, and the whole person looked radiant, as if she had changed a person.

Gu Yan hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and it was obviously not the first time the emperor saw Gu Yan, so he said to her: "I heard that you cured the Queen Mother's stubborn illness?" I don't want you to have such courage at such a young age, I appreciate it very much, if you have any requirements, you can talk to me, as long as I can do it, I will allow you. ”

Gu Yan bowed her head humbly and said to the emperor: "It is a gift from God to the people that the courtiers can cure and save people with a small prescription, and the courtiers are willing to dedicate this pharmacy to the emperor, hoping that the emperor can treat more people." ”

The emperor who was sitting on the throne looked down at Gu Yan in surprise, this little girl knelt there at this time, like a petite flower, which made people admire, but this is nothing, her actions at this time made people feel that the whole body exuded a faint fragrance, such a girl, with such courage and kindness, the emperor didn't even know what to use to reward her.

All the rewards seemed too weak in front of her, and her noble mind shocked the emperor.

The Queen Mother looked down at Gu Yan, this girl has been taking care of her by her side these days, she is considerate, and even more meticulous than the palace maid who has been following her.

"This girl cares about the world, this palace remembers it, and this time this palace will fulfill your wish no matter what." The Queen Mother said.

Gu Yan naturally knows why the Queen Mother is so anxious to give herself a reward, the royal people are most afraid of owing favors, if they owe favors, it will be difficult to calculate in the future, the so-called people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and the Queen Mother is afraid that she will be greedy for more things in the future.

Since this is the case, don't stimulate the Queen Mother, Gu Yan raised her head and said to the Queen Mother: "The courtier girl passed away from her mother, and she is walking on thin ice in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now by the side of the Queen Mother, there is a feeling like a spring breeze, and the courtiers hope that the Queen Mother can be the grandmother of Chen's daughter." ”

The soldier is a dangerous move, Gu Yan knows what she is talking about, and she also knows that this request is a bit excessive, but there is no way, this opportunity must be seized, otherwise there will be no such good opportunity in the future.

The Empress Dowager's face changed, and she turned her head to look at the emperor, the emperor just smiled awkwardly, in fact, Gu Chang's request was not to like the Empress Dowager at all, but to want a backer, as she herself said, she was unable to move an inch in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everything in the mansion was taken care of by the Ye family, and it was simply impossible to treat it as her own, in this case, it was normal for Gu Chang to find a backer.

The emperor laughed dryly twice, and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, since it is what Miss Gu meant, then for the sake of her contribution to the prescription, I can't help but agree to her." ”

The Queen Mother nodded suddenly, thinking that Gu Yan could propose to marry which prince, but she didn't want to make such a request.

However, the Empress Dowager admired Gu Chang for having such a vision, so she nodded and said, "Since this is the case, this palace will agree to your request." ”

Gu Yan was happy in her heart, and after kowtowing to the Queen Mother twice, she retreated.

At noon, the emperor got Gu Yan's prescription, and at this time she was already on her way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to have known that she was coming back, and from a long distance, they saw that the door was full of people, all with flattering smiles on their faces.

Gu Yan slowly lowered the curtain of the carriage, she knew better than anyone what kind of face the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were, and she also knew that there were not many people among these people who really welcomed her.

When the carriage stopped, Gu Yan came down, and Prime Minister Gu Cheng greeted him, and said to Gu Yan with a smile: "Chang'er, I heard that you have healed the Queen Mother?" ”

Listening to the wind and the blowing snow, he came up to take Gu Yan's burden, and his face was very calm.
