It was Granny Zhang’s voice. She used to bully Gu Qiang and her servant girls with Ye being her patron. However, after Gu Qiang rose to the position of an infanta, she was too embarrassed to enter the yard.
When Gu Qiang walked to the main hall with Ting Feng and Chui Xue, there were full of people and carriages in the front yard.
Many people from the palace were present in the banquet hall. Compared with the autumn harvest party, this one was much more magnificent. Many madams and ladies usually kept in touch, but there were even more at this occasion.
Shen Zhongbai was sitting at the main seat, and Princess Changning was seated next to him. Infanta Ziyan who hadn’t put in an appearance for several days were present too. All of them enjoyed the favor of the Empress Dowager. They were making a small chat quietly, and others sitting at the table didn’t dare to talk.
When Gu Qiang arrived, lots of people had been seated. Curious abou
Prime Minister Gu and Gu Huaian were both embarrassed.“Qiang, why did you invite him? He said he would never be one of the Gu Family, didn’t he? Why does he come here shamelessly?” Prime Minister Gu looked at Gu Qiang in the beginning and then turned to Gu Huaian.Gu Huaian sneered. He didn’t expect his father would still hold a grudge after such a long time.Prime Minister Gu had unique insights into what happened in the country and was thought to be a magnanimous and righteous official. However, he was abnormally strict with his son.Gu Huaian was controlled completely by Prime Minister Gu like a puppet. If going astray, he would be crushed by his father with the so-called expectation, which was extremely heavy.Prime Minister Gu never asked if he liked it, or if he hoped to live a life as planned. The blueprint drawn by Prime Minister Gu was darkness in the eyes of Gu Huaian.Gu Huaian stood silently a
“Do you know what filial piety is?” Old Lady said while rolling her eyes.Gu Qiang lowered her head and answered respectfully, “Grandma, blind piety is not good. Maybe you think filial piety means we must do everything carefully as told. Then how boring life will be. It seems safe to repeat the same road but uninteresting.”Gu Qiang said in a low voice which could only be heard by herself and Old Lady. The old woman was experienced. She was sulky and shocked by the way Gu Qiang talked, but she didn’t show that and just stared at Gu Qiang’s eyes.“Qiang, you have to reflect on your misdeed. Don’t think we can do nothing with you as an infanta. I will teach you a lesson someday.” Old Lady said.Someday? Gu Qiang raised her eyebrows. Old Lady thought she would survive tomorrow, but Gu Qiang was sure that she was near her end.“Yes, grandma. But you look pale recently. Is it because you’ve had too much nutritious food? Not
Hearing what Gu Qiang said, the Third Prince’s face fell and seemed to be unhappy, but he managed to refrain from anger and said, “Why do you refuse my invitation?”Gu Qiang looked fearlessly at Shen Zhongbai’s eyes and answered, “Your Highness, you are my sister’s fiancé, so I should reduce my contact with you, or she will be angry. Besides, as her elder sister, it’s inappropriate for me to do that.” Then she leaned forward, signaling to him that it was time to leave.Shen Zhongbai stared at Gu Qiang as if deep in thought. She was right, but did she forget their exclusive sweetness? At that time Gu Qiang was so tender to him. However, now she acted as his sister-in-law. Did it mean that he had no chance to develop a relationship with her?He bit his lips and was about to leave when he saw someone land at the northwestern corner of the yard. The comer was in white and waving a fan casually. After landing on the ground, the person
Without glancing at her, Gu Qiang retorted, “I’m looking forward to that. But I am curious. You love Shen Zhongbai deeply while he just accepts you as a concubine. It seems that you will have a miserable life.”Then Gu Qiang returned to her room with Gusu Liang. Gu Zhihua rushed her but was stopped by a servant, who soothed in a low voice, “My Lady, please calm down. She is an infanta now. If you irritate her in her yard, the Prime Minister will scold you.”Gu Zhihua was clear that the status meant everything, but she would burst with anger if she didn’t vent it.It was dark when Gu Zhihua was pulled away by her servant.Sitting before the window, Gu Qiang watched the sun-setting direction silently and couldn’t help sighing how long the day was. So many things came to her like dark clouds, leaving her no breathing space.Fortunately, she had been accustomed to it. But she didn’t know… she took out her cherished diary.
The Empress was clear that their love had disappeared and thus felt at ease. But when hearing Shen Zhongbai said she liked Shen Qianshan, she fluttered her long eyelashes. Indeed, she became close to Shen Qianshan recently and cared about him. It was just because she didn’t think he should come to such an end.“Your Majesty, not everyone around you is bad. The whole country is yours. Please don’t kill an innocent person!” The Empress still lowered her head respectfully and looked at the ground silently. She looked calm, and it seemed that she was not scared of Shen Zhongbai’s sudden rage at all.“He is not bad? Does it make sense? Do you know how powerful Qianshan is? If he wants to overthrow me, he can do it anytime. It seems that you look forward to that day, right? You think you can still be the empress after he becomes the king, so you seduce him and help him usurp the throne, don’t you?” Shen Zhongbai became more emotional and thought he was right. Aft
Shen Qianshan looked around and said coldly, “I’m going to investigate the Empress. She seemed to be completely different from before.”Su Ge thought carefully. His master was worthy of the title of a duke because he was more insightful.Gu Qiang tossed and turned on the bed at night. She wanted to read her diary, but she knew there must be nothing in it. Without anything to say, she just felt good that another her existed in an unknown place and they were like a pair of wings. She was desired to talk endless with the other one, but she couldn’t part her lips. Finally, she drifted into sleep in such a contradictory mood.The next morning, guests from the palace returned successively. The Gu Family saw off every guest outside of the Prime Minister Mansion. Shen Zhongbai mounted his horse and then told Gu Qiang in public, “Qiang, I will come to visit you when I’m free. Wait for me at home. Understand?”Gu Qiang refrained from rolling
The palace was quiet at midnight. Groups of soldiers were patrolling like ghosts, expressionless, uniform, and heartless.The Empress was sitting in her room with a diary in front of her. She looked out of the window. There was a pear tree whose huge branches stretched peacefully in the darkness. The Empress couldn’t calm down. She took a deep breath and told Sha, “Has Ling gone out of the palace?”Sha nodded. She was not talkative and preferred body language to oral one. She was as composed and cold as one-thousand-year-old iceberg.“I want to go out for a walk. Come with me.” Then the Empress stood up and went out. Sha glanced at the diary on the table and wanted to remind the Empress, but she said nothing at last.Outside the Weiyang Palace, the night breeze blew gently and fluttered the Empress’s wide robe. The whole palace was like a sleeping beast that closed its bloodshot eyes and was not aggressive anymore. However, some pe
Shen Qianshan stood up, walked to the Empress, and made a bow with hands folded in front, “I was attacked when strolling in the palace with my guard, so we chased after the person to this place. We entered your room for fear that the assassin would put you in danger.”Shen Qianshan winked at Su Ge. He moved close to Shen Qianshan. Then Shen Qianshan said to the Empress, “There is nothing wrong with your room. I’m leaving now.”When Shen Qianshan walked past the Empress, she grabbed his arm at once and stared at him with sharp eyes. Shen Qianshan met her eyes and squinted. The woman was completely different from the one before. He had no idea why she changed so much.“Hunt an assassin?” The Empress repeated. Then she turned around to look at Shen Qianshan, lifted her eyebrows, and sneered, “You’d better find a better excuse if you want to investigate me again.”Then she threw away his arm with force and walked past him.
Seeing Gushu Ran's dazed eyes, he realized that it was this unintelligent brother who had drunk too much alcohol."I have pills to wake up here, but to small not so fast, I'm afraid I still have to be confused for a while, within half an hour, it should be fine."Originally that day after she said those words, the royal brother had already come to find herself privately, she has already and Gusu Ran fixed the marriage should not still and Gusu Liang have a laugh, so she deliberately sat on the top today, for fear that she can't live on her own, she came down to talk to Gusu Liang again.Gusu Liang looked at Shen Siyin and nodded, "Princess, you can go back to your seat first, I'll just take care of this side."Shen Siyin will have some medical skills, so I'm afraid that if she takes the pulse of Gu Qiang's court, then Gu Qiang's identity as a woman will be immediately exposed, even if Shen Siyin really likes herself, I'm afraid that she won't be able to toler
Gu court ladies these days, in addition to stay in the free building, is to go to the original ruins of the listening pavilion, hoping to find their own diary, but the possibility of this has been very small, and then is to send people to keep an eye on the casino side of the matter, the day of life is also to quite comfortable, but Shen Qianshan side, there has been no news, but also let the court ladies Gu a little bit worried, but they have not had a bad feeling, Shen Qianshan and brother together, surrounded by so many people can help them should not be any big problem. Shen Qianshan and brother together, surrounded by so many people can help them, there should not be any big problem.Early this morning, Gusu Liang called Gu Qiang up in bed and gave her some basic skills of light kung fu, hoping that she would still have the ability to defend herself when she was not able to take care of herself. practicing, Qi Bai walked in, and saw that the two of them, Gu Qiang and Gusu
There were quite a few officials who often spent time inside the Rain Flower House, even Gu Linjiang was a regular there, but there was one thing, this place was set up from the beginning by Shen Qianshan to be able to cover up his own men's secret guards, but what Court Lady Gu wanted to do right now was how she could get rid of the people under Gu Linjiang.Eleven nodded, "Subordinate obeys, then by the master's side, is it necessary to arrange for someone else to protect him?"The last time Gusu Ran was attacked, they failed to properly protect, the heart since the guilt, the master this time have scar such an important task to them, they must not dare to let the master disappointed again."It's not necessary." Court Lady Gu did feel that after settling this matter this time, she herself would be safe instead, and even if Gu Linjiang wanted to make a move, he would definitely stop because of Shen Zhongbai.Gusu Liang waited for a long time in front of the
Gu Qiang court temporarily also has not yet thought to explain to Gusu Liang, after all, this time the thing, also can not be explained clearly in a few words, if you want Gusu Liang to completely trust themselves, Shen Zhongbai's side to look at, perhaps there will be something else dare not be resolved, Shen Siyin is now they an excellent shelter, although it is also said that this is also to take advantage of her, but Shen Zhongbai so deep in his heart, in addition to his sister, the He really couldn't think of anyone else he could use to alleviate his suspicions of himself.Gusu Liang stood alone in the hall of the Easy House, seemed to be thinking about something, watched Court Lady Gu walk down, and directly turned around, directly to the backyard, chasing the clouds also just came back, saw the two of them now this way, also felt strange, but the face of the two people are not very good, so that all of a sudden he also do not know exactly who should go to ask, so he jus
Not to mention the fact that both of them were now back in the capital.Shen Qianshan frowned, although he knew that he had Chasing Cloud by his side, he would still feel a little worried, these days when he and Gu Huai'an were both living in the post house, Gu Huai'an had pretty much told himself all those things that had happened in Kyoto during the time he was away.What exactly is the matter that necessitates that both Court Lady Gu and Cloud Chaser must return to Kyoto?Although Shen Qianshan didn't know what had happened yet, he always felt that this time things might not be that simple."Then these things will be put aside first, I now come back is an important thing to tell you, this Zhenzhou City, in fact, not as simple as we think, this factory county officials, and a pretending to be a god of heavenly masters in collusion with a gas, this natural disaster, I originally did not have such a serious consequences, but by the two of them were born into
Gu Qiangwei looked at the person in front of her, the temperament on Shen Qiangwei was completely different from before, if she was before, excessively well-behaved and understanding, even to the point of blind obedience to Shen Zhongbai, to the point that now she could even control his preferences, it seems that during this period of time when she was not there, Shangwei was also dealing with some things in her own way, in the process of dealing with some things."The prince-in-waiting is indeed eloquent, earlier I felt that I was not firm in my stance, but now it seems that I have been brought into this by someone even smarter."Court Lady Gu didn't deny it, but there were some things that were not really under her control, just for example, why would Shen Qiangwei be able to see things that had happened in the other world as well as herself, if it wasn't for Shen Qiangwei, perhaps her next plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly."Your Highness since all already kno
Gusu Liang reaction is indeed very intense, but in the way of the current circumstances, he did not put his own concerns out, his willingness to keep in touch with Shen Siyin these days, in fact, is entirely to cover up the court lady Gu is now not in the middle of the capital of this matter, since the matter has a better solution, why would you want to continue?Gusu Liang turned back and heavily tugged on the sleeve of Gu Qiang's court, but Gu Qiang didn't give him any response, Shen Siyin turned her head and tilted her head at her own brother, seemingly in demonstration, Shen Zhongbai wasn't angry, he just gently nodded, his own sister getting closer to them might not be a bad thing for him, at least being able to keep track of the movements of their two brothers every now and then, not letting them out of their control.However, this Gusu Ran's attitude, but still let himself some doubt, if it is replaced by a general man, even if it is not like, should not let their
Although it was still not clear whether such behavior was dangerous or not, and it was also not clear why Shen Siyin actually chose to help them, but at least up to now, Shen Zhongbai had not explicitly shown any dissatisfaction with them, and there was definitely no lack of Shen Siyin's help in this.Court Lady Gu didn't really know what she should do right now, but one thing was clear, this time when they went to the palace, Shen Zhongbai might take this time to talk about it, and no matter what happened today, they would have to deal with it carefully and seriously.Shen Zhongbai heard the words of the eunuch, in fact, also thought a lot, not to mention the appearance of the entire Gusu Ran are so sudden, now think about it, but they are in the Chamber of Commerce, in fact, it has been very suspicious ...Just around the small eunuch came to pass, Shen Zhongbai also happen to want to take advantage of this opportunity to test, Gusu Ran this period of time, has b
Shen Qianshan raised his own concerns, this period of time in the battlefield, he deliberately paid attention to Huang Hao this person, he is brave and good at fighting, nothing more than seems to be by virtue of a high martial arts, is considered to be the art of high courage, in the strategic and tactical insights, but never defensive, in his own or the former status of the king of the battlefield, but also has seen Huang Hao's rough and tumble.If you don't let that day on the battlefield will not let the Dongliang country's spies drilled so big a hole, in the final analysis, even if Huang Hao's side with Song Yu, but it doesn't mean that the two of them can be low-grade to live in this kind of situation, the people if less that's okay, if Liu Yue sent out too many people, inevitably there will be accidents.What's more, the court ladies are still following them now."Then how about this, we follow them forward and release carrier pigeons on the way, it's better
