Ji Qiang watched her squeeze out a few crocodile tears, and didn't say anything to comfort her.

Probably seeing that Ji Qiang was unmoved, Gu Hanyan also stopped her tears, and tentatively raised her eyes, and saw that her eyes were clear, cold and mocking, as if she had seen her through, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Looking at the past again, as in normal days, Gu Hanyan secretly said that he thought too much, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, pursed his lips and said slowly: "Actually, I came today because I asked Qiang'er for something." ”

Ji Qiang was still staring at her, with a puzzled face, before Gu Hanyan continued: "I heard that the foreign envoy will go back to Huiguo in a few days, and a banquet will be held in the palace, can you let me go with me?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to notice his transgression, and hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, Qiang'er, I just want to enter the palace to see the sixth prince, and thank him for giving me the ointment to remove scars." After speaking, her cheeks flushed slightly, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and her face was full of shyness like a little daughter.

He hurriedly glanced at Ji Qiang again, and said with a flustered face: "The sixth prince just saw that I was pitiful and gave me the ointment of the imperial hospital, Qiang'er, you won't be angry about this matter, right?" If you don't like me associating with the Six Princes, I'll just pay attention to it in the future, and I won't go to the banquet in a few days. ”

After saying this, Gu Hanyan's face turned gloomy, and he pulled the corners of his mouth again, revealing a faint smile, showing loneliness.

Ji Qiang sneered in her heart, what is Gu Hanyan, is this to show off her close relationship with Xia Chengmu? Now no one in the capital knows that the six princes intend to marry the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion.

Now that Gu Hanyan said such a misleading remark, if there were others present, I am afraid that outsiders would think that she, the eldest lady, was chasing after the wind, narrow-minded, and jealous.

"Since Yan'er said so, then I can't persuade too much." Ji Qiang lowered her eyes, frowned slightly, sighed a little embarrassed, looked at her with her eyes full of kindness and said, "Yan'er and I are like brothers, why don't I agree to this kind of thing." ”

As soon as Gu Hanyan heard this, a mocking smile flashed in his eyes, he lowered his eyes and wiped the corners of his eyes, and was about to thank him, when he heard Ji Qiang continue: "But since Yan'er said this, in order to avoid the suspicion of tongue, then I wronged Yan'er to recuperate in the house, so as not to go out and suffer the cold, so that the injury will worsen." ”

The corners of Gu Hanyan's mouth that were about to rise froze, and he looked at her in disbelief, and saw the smile on Ji Qiang's face even worse, "I'm still worried about what to do if Yan'er's face is disfigured, you must know that the most important thing for my daughter's family is not only the body, but also a face, if Yan'er's beautiful face is ruined like this, then how many rich children in the capital should sigh." ”

Ji Qiang said crisply, stroking her hands, her eyes were full of smiles, "Fortunately, there are six princes who give medicine, otherwise I will ask him for Yan'er, after all, Yan'er is my dearest sister, what is there in my heart!" ”

The words were brisk, but for some reason, Gu Hanyan felt that the innocent Ji Qiang who was smiling in front of her made her shudder, she hurriedly withdrew her hand, pulled the corners of her mouth, and said a few polite words in a panic, and then fled.

Ji Qiang saw her back in a hurry, the corners of her mouth rose, took the handkerchief handed over by Xi'er, and carefully wiped the place on her hand that had just come into contact with Gu Hanyan, her eyes were full of coldness.

And in just a few days, Ji Qiang's reputation quickly spread throughout the capital, and the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion was talented and intelligent, not to mention the stumped formation of all the ministers, and also gave the foreign envoy a dismount, earning enough face for Dachen.

And from time to time, people come to visit at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, wanting to see Ji Qiang's beauty.

Seeing her so calm, Bai Shi was still intently looking at the letters piled up in a small mountain.

couldn't help frowning, put the food box on the table, picked up a letter casually, just glanced at it, and then his face changed, and he was very worried: "Qiang'er, you don't have to worry about those people outside." ”

Ji Qiang put down the letter in her hand, raised her eyes to look at Bai, with a soft smile on her face, and hurriedly sat down with her, "Mother, why are you here?" ”

"Why didn't I come, there have been a lot of rumors outside these days, and you still look at these bad letters." Bai's face was distressed and angry.

The rumors outside these days are mixed, but the so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and bad rumors are always more dramatic and attractive than the truth.

Ji Qiang glanced at the letters, most of them were insulting women for being talentless and virtuous, and Ji Qiang read them one by one very seriously.

Even Xi'er was angry when she saw it, but Ji Qiang was leisurely.

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter has her own plans, and she will not be wronged." Ji Qiang kneaded Bai's shoulders, and her tone was light, "Mother, don't worry, your daughter will enter the palace tomorrow, but she will still be rewarded by His Majesty, and those of them are just jealous that their daughter has this luck." ”

The rumors in the past few days Ji Qiang naturally knew what was going on, at first they were all words of praise and admiration, but in the back, there were gradually bad voices, more and more, it seemed that someone was adding fuel to the fire, and Ji Qiang didn't have to think about who it was.

Bai Shi naturally couldn't resist Ji Qiang, smiled helplessly, patted the back of her hand, and looked at her with a little emotion in her eyes, "Mother knows that you have grown up and have your own ideas, and my mother believes that you have your own considerations for doing things, and I don't want to say much." ”

Ji Qiang looked at the corners of her eyes full of fine lines, and sighed in her heart, in her previous life, because she misbelieved Xia Chengmu, she finally involved the entire Ji family to bury her, and her mother was tortured to death, and in the end, even the bones were not recovered outside the city.

The entire Ji family's hundreds and ten lives were thrown into the mass grave, and the bones were not cold!

As soon as she thought of this, Ji Qiang couldn't help but redden, and after hearing Bai's words, she felt even more guilty.

After Bai finished speaking, he sighed, wiped his reddened eyes, pulled her to say a few more homely words, and left.

Xi'er looked at the pastries on the table with a sad face, "Miss, what Madame prepares is what Mademoiselle likes to eat, Madame is so worried about Miss, whether Mademoiselle wants to tell Madame about the matter, so that she can be relieved." ”

Xi'er finished speaking. Ji Qiang didn't answer, pursed her lips and looked at the table full of pastries, lowered her eyes to hide her expression, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already clear, "How is Aunt Du's side?" ”

Xi'er sighed secretly in her heart, and replied honestly: "Aunt Du has been staying in her house since the grounding time, and she has never gone out, nor has there been any useful news. ”

Ji Qiang groaned deeply, holding a pen and drawing something on the letterhead, and the expression in her eyes was obscure.
