"Thank you sister for worrying, it seems that my sister is ready. The face of the ancient family depends on my sister alone, and I hope that my sister will behave well. Otherwise, a concubine is not as good as a concubine, this is not an ordinary shame. "Gu Jiahui was indeed talking to Gu Yanxi, but her eyes didn't look at Gu Yanxi from beginning to end." And my sister's grandfather is the prime minister of the dynasty, and the prime minister who is above 10,000 people under one person is very knowledgeable. I don't know if the prime minister's talented sister can inherit it? ”

"What a sharp-toothed girl, I don't know if you can still maintain this attitude when your father asks questions?" The fifth prince and the second prince passed by and happened to hear Gu Jiahui's words. The fifth prince is a well-known poisonous snake, where there is some incident, as long as it is the prey he fancies, it is like a poisonous snake, entwining the prey until death.

"The little girl just told the truth, and she didn't feel that it was inappropriate. Besides, the little girl is just the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, and she is not the pride of the sky. I just want to live a stable life, instead of breaking off my peace with my flesh and blood relatives every day because of some trivial matters. Gu Jiahui stood up and saluted, "And my sister has a good background, which I can't compare." My sister is the pride of the Gu family, so naturally she will not embarrass our Gu family, and it will also make the prime minister's face shine. ”

Gu Jiahui's words are sleek, but it contains the battle for the throne that everyone in the royal family knows but does not want to mention.

The second prince, Zhu Hance, looked at Gu Jiahui and didn't say anything, but there was no trace of exploration in his eyes. Gu Jiahui has always felt that Zhu Hance hides his mind too deeply and is a person who can't see through. This person's joy and sorrow are never revealed, and the more such a person is, the more dangerous it is.

Or Zhu Hance stared at Gu Jiahui for too long, and Gu Yanxi beside him felt uncomfortable when she saw this scene. I am afraid that the second prince is interested in Gu Jiahui, and I am even more afraid that Gu Jiahui will take away her position as the future queen. "I really won't disgrace my grandfather, my cousin said yes?"

Gu Yanxi stretched out her hand and shook the sleeve of the second prince, and Zhu Hance looked away and nodded. "Xi'er, naturally I won't disappoint my grandfather. Fifth brother, let's sit down. ”

After the three of them left, Gu Jiahui sat down again, and her eyes did not let go of any movements of the second prince. The second prince didn't show too much, just sat down with the fifth prince, and his eyes no longer fell on Gu Jiahui.

"Ah Hui, aren't you afraid of the fifth brother?" The eighth princess, who had not spoken, opened her mouth, her eyes were full of fear, "What I am most afraid of is the fifth brother, his whole person exudes a frightening atmosphere." A few days ago, a palace maid accidentally knocked over a wine glass, and the fifth brother ordered someone to throw the palace maid into the prison and reward those death row prisoners. ”

"I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid." Gu Jiahui felt the anger in the eyes of the fifth prince when he spoke. If you don't reply, I'm afraid that I will be even more upset when I see the five princes in the future. Gu Jiahui's gamble is that the fifth prince is attached to the second prince, even if the fifth prince wants the throne, he can't show it in front of the second prince. "The eighth princess should also be careful."

"You still have to pay more attention to yourself. The fifth brother is stingy and will lose his temper if he is not satisfied. I'm worried he'll get you in trouble, so I finally have someone to play with. "The eighth princess has won the emperor's favor, and the fifth prince really can't touch her now. But Gu Jiahui is different, she is just the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, and she is also a concubine with no status.

The emperor has fewer daughters, and the third princess Zhu Hanjin born to the jade concubine married to Tianqi Kingdom, and even the sixth princess Zhu Hanjiao born to the concubine did not escape the fate of marriage and married to Xuanyin Kingdom. There is only one of the eight princesses left, one is still young; The second is that the emperor loves this little daughter very much, even if he wants to marry, he will not marry far away from a foreign country.

Gu Jiahui is a rare friend of the eighth princess. And he is not afraid of being used when he interacts with her, so as to gain the trust of his father and let his family become a big official in the court.

When everyone was pregnant with ghosts, the emperor was already seated. "Today I have prepared some special programs to investigate you."

The emperor shook the bamboo tube in his hand, "This is the content to be inspected today." It's the theme I just picked up with Taifu, and you just need to answer the theme in it. Whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, you can do it. The main thing is to draw a fun, each theme has to be answered by two people to compare, and the winner will be rewarded. ”

There are a total of 16 bamboo sticks in the bamboo tube, and the themes are: wind, flowers, snow, moon, love, hate, affection, and sorrow.

Because the meaning of hatred is not good, it is replaced with sorrow.

Each theme has two bamboo sticks, and each person randomly draws two bamboo sticks. The bamboo tube is drawn according to the order of age and status, and the palace maid holds the bamboo tube, and everyone draws it. It's just that Gu Jiahui, who has a low status, doesn't have the right to choose, and the two remaining bamboo sticks selected by these people are hers.

The faces of each person who got the bamboo sticks were different, and not all subjects would follow their hearts.

"Ah Hui, what are you taking?" The eight princesses' facial features are all wrinkled together.

Gu Jiahui spread out the two bamboo sticks in her hand to show the eighth princess, "My theme is flowers and love. I don't know what your theme is, Eighth Princess? ”

It may be that other people's luck is not good enough, or Gu Jiahui's luck is too good, these two themes are very common, and Gu Jiahui has not memorized poems on these themes back then.

"It's nice that my theme is sad and windy. It's hard for me. "It's okay to say the theme of wind, but the eighth princess, who is loved by thousands of people, has never experienced sorrow, and this theme really embarrasses her." Worry about? What is sorrow? Why worry? I knew this and listened to Mr. more. ”

Taifu is Mr., but in order to let the princes show respect for Taifu, the emperor wants all the people in the school to call him Mr. Gu Jiahui also realized from this point that the emperor was a virtuous monarch.

"Eighth sister, from today onwards, it's not too late to listen carefully to Mr.'s teachings." The Seventh Prince beside him looked at his sister's sad face and thought of a way to comfort him, "Father has already said that there is no restriction on the way, just use the painting you are best at to draw the theme of sorrow." ”

"But how can you express your sorrow?" Zhu Hanqiong is very good at painting, and there is a birthday picture given to the emperor by the eighth princess in the emperor's imperial study, and the emperor loves the painting very much.

"It's better for the princess to think about the people living in fire and water, and the people are struggling to make a living, and draw that picture." Gu Jiahui whispered in the ear of the eighth princess, "Thinking about the appearance of those palace people who were tortured by the five princes, this is sorrow. ”
