Chapter 60: The Short-Lived Ghost
The Queen Mother was just joking, so she said to Shen Qianshan: "Jiu'er, you are also old, yesterday the girl from General Li's family entered the palace to see the palace and rested in the side hall. ”
Shen Qianshan looked at the Queen Mother strangely, his heart was strangely tight, the Queen Mother was already in her own body now, and she was still thinking about his marriage, and she was also attentive, but he didn't want to use this opportunity to find the concubine.
"Queen Mother, you are not in good health now, how can your son go to find a woman at this time?" Shen Qianshan said.
The Queen Mother leaned back in the chair, her face was calm, and she said very casually: "There is no need to take it to heart, because of the medicine of the concubine, this palace feels much better now, your affairs have been considered by this palace for a long time, and the daughter of General Li's family is a beauty, so it doesn't hurt to go and see it." ”
Gu Yan thought about it carefully, this General Li himself had heard of it, his wife Ru'er and Liu Shixiao still had a leg, and the affairs of the capital were indeed not something that ordinary people could see through.
Shen Qianshan had no chance to defend himself, so he could only get up, the Queen Mother seemed to have thought of something, pushed Gu Yan with her hand, and said to her: "Sister-in-law, you can also go and take a look, they are all the same age, and they can play together." ”
Gu Yan stood in place and shook her head firmly, and said to the Queen Mother: "It's good for the courtiers to serve by the Queen Mother's side." ”
The Queen Mother smiled, as if she thought Gu Yan was very interesting, but she still said: "There are many palace maids and mothers-in-law around this palace, you are a guest of this palace, there is no reason to stay and serve, go out to the palace to see, it is not in vain to come this time." ”
After speaking, the mother-in-law next to her helped the Queen Mother to get up and returned to the palace.
Gu Yan stood stunned, as if she was a little confused about where she was going, she originally entered the palace to take care of the Queen Mother, but it seemed to be a little redundant.
Shen Qianshan walked up to her and said indifferently: "Let's go, how about going with this king to meet the daughter of General Li's family?" ”
Gu Yan shook her head firmly, and said to Shen Qianshan: "The prince is joking, since it is the girl that the prince wants to meet, how can the courtiers follow?" Let the girl know, and her heart will not be happy. ”
Shen Qianshan couldn't help but take Gu Yan's hand and walked towards the courtyard that the Queen Mother said.
The courtyard was far away from the Queen Mother's bedroom, and along the way, Gu Yan wanted to break free from Shen Qianshan's hand, but she didn't want him to clamp her hand fiercely and not let go at all, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
When passing by the back garden of the palace, there were many concubines and palace people around, all of whom looked at these two people curiously, and pointed at them, as if they had seen something new.
Gu Yan buried her head deeply, full of joy and hoped that these people would not be able to see her, but Shen Qianshan was very calm, with an indifferent face, and didn't seem to care much about what others looked at her.
The courtyard where Miss Li lives is in the northwest corner of the palace, and there have been too many things in the palace recently, so she has no leisure to greet guests, and Miss Li here is not considered a relative of the emperor, so naturally she doesn't have so much heart to take care of.
Approaching this courtyard, I heard the melodious sound of the piano, Gu Yan, as a young lady, still knows more or less about the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she turned her head to Shen Qianshan and said: "This Miss Li is really everyone's young lady, and the song "Light Fragrance" was played by her, so there is a taste of crying and mourning. ”
Shen Qianshan turned his head and seemed to be a little surprised, so he smiled lightly and said, "I didn't expect that Chang'er would have her own opinions on the song?" ”
Gu Yan didn't know if Shen Qianshan was sarcastic about herself, she had lived for so many years, not only did she have a good brain, but she also had a lot of commendable skills.
Walking into the courtyard, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and then it seemed to be a very flustered footstep, Miss Li knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at Shen Qianshan, and her voice was as pleasant as the sound of the piano: "The courtier Li Ziqian greets the ninth prince." ”
Shen Qianshan didn't seem to care about what Li Ziqian said at all, walked past her, sat on the chair, reached out and fiddled with the things on the table, and then said: "Thank you for coming to visit the Queen Mother, now that the Queen Mother's condition is improving, you can go back." ”
Li Ziqian simply didn't believe her ears, was this Nine Princes giving him an eviction order? But the Queen Mother didn't say that, her old man's meaning was to let the Nine Princes come over to see if she was the kind of woman he wanted.
can get what the Queen Mother said, Li Ziqian felt that her affairs with Shen Qianshan were more or less settled, but she didn't expect that people didn't take herself seriously at all.
Li Ziqian's nose was sour, so she smiled bitterly and said, "I'm really sorry, the ninth prince treats the courtiers like this, but what did the courtiers offend you?" ”
Gu Yan stood next to her and looked at this Li Ziqian cautiously, although this girl was calm and light when she said this, the disappointment in her eyes could be seen completely, but fortunately, she was not a vegetarian, the whole person was very chic, and she said whatever she wanted.
Shen Qianshan really turned his head to look at Li Ziqian, and then said: "You have no place to offend this king, since you are the queen mother's meaning, then you and I know how to look at it, what do you say?" ”
I haven't seen Shen Qianshan like this before, but he has seen a lot of poisonous tongues, and he thought that he should be more or less gentle with the girl's family, but he didn't expect that he thought too much, he was still that virtuous.
It is true that such a Shen Qianshan is indeed a bit excessive, but if it is very good for every woman, such a man is not desirable.
Gu Yan suddenly wondered why she wanted to care about Shen Qianshan, whether it was desirable or not? Anyway, I didn't want to have anything to do with him.
That Li Ziqian seemed to have no temper by Shen Qianshan's words, and the whole person was pitiful, her face couldn't hold it, and she was about to cry.
Gu Yan was helpless, so she quickly took two steps and said, "Miss Li, don't listen to the Ninth Prince, he is like this, the two of us can talk about it." ”
At this time, the atmosphere is awkward, and I urgently need someone to come out to relieve it, although Gu Yan doesn't like to do such a thing, but helplessly, she can't hang other people Miss Li, right?
Li Ziqian also seemed to know that Gu Yan was helping her speak, so she smiled at her, nodded and said, "Okay." Then he stepped forward and took her hand, and went with her into the courtyard room.
Shen Qianshan sat on a chair in the courtyard, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then tilted his head and looked at the sky, the whole person was very comfortable.
In the main hall, Li Ziqian poured tea for Gu Yan, sat next to her, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Miss Gu, you are also in the palace, the last time I heard my wife talk about you, you also saved her life, but?" ”
The lady in Li Ziqian's mouth should be Ru'er.
Gu Yan took a sip of tea and said to Li Ziqian: "I did save Mrs. Ru'er, that time I had a purpose, risking death to save, but in the end, the goal was not achieved." ”
I can't say much about this, after all, since I know about the matter between Mrs. Ru'er and Liu Shixiao, even if it is not confidential, there is no need to spread it, chew the root of people's tongues.
Li Ziqian smiled, this smile seemed to be the flowers around her blooming, she said very calmly: "I think Miss Gu rescued my wife in the Liu family, right?" Then what kind of person is Liu Shixiao, how can you not know it? ”
Gu Yan was shocked in her heart, but her face was still very calm, could it be that the matter of Miss Ru'er and Liu Shixiao, this Li family is already well known?
Even so, I still can't say anything about this final word.
Li Ziqian found that Gu Yan's expression was not very well controlled, so she said with a smile: "Actually, this matter is no secret in our Li family, Mrs. Ru'er and Liu Shixiao have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, but at that time, Liu Shixiao was incapable, in the eyes of others, she was just a businessman who dreamed of making a fortune all day long, my father was greedy for Ru'er's beauty, so he separated these two people, and married Mrs. Ru'er, but he didn't want Liu Shixiao to be considered smooth sailing over the years, and she had good luck, but Mrs. Ru'er was already married." ”
didn't want these two people to have such a past, Li Ziqian didn't seem to shy away from these things, and then said: "Our Li family has a lot of children, my mother-in-law died early, and the position of the wife of the Li family has been vacant for many years, and it is also because of my father and his liking for Ru'er that this position was left to her. ”
Gu Yan nodded, that General Li fought on the battlefield, he was a strong character, but the backyard was on fire, he could endure it for so many years, it seems that he really likes Mrs. Ru'er, even if she doesn't like him, it doesn't matter, it is complete if she puts it by her side.
This Li Ziqian seems to be a girl who likes to talk very much, and she even explained the situation of her family in front of Gu Yan.
"Mrs. Naru'er is kind, unlike the wife of the official family in the capital, there is no intrigue, and the Li family really needs her identity, so our relationship has always been good." After Li Ziqian refilled Gu Yan's teacup, she changed her words, raised her chin in the direction of Shen Qianshan, and asked, "The relationship between Miss Gu and the Ninth Prince seems to be extraordinary, do the two people like each other?" ”
This girl really didn't shy away from talking at all, she dared to say anything, before Gu Yan thought that this girl was calm, but now she is very uncomfortable.
Gu Yan shook her head firmly, and said to Li Ziqian: "It's not what you imagined, Miss Li, I'm helping the Queen Mother to heal her illness, I heard that you are here, the Queen Mother thinks that we are about the same age, and we have something to say." ”
Recently, Gu Yan admitted that her relationship with Shen Qianshan is indeed a little close, but she clearly knows that there always seems to be an invisible wall between the two people, and as long as they get to that point, they will never move forward again.
