Gu Qiang's back suddenly straightened and she bit her lip.
Gu Huaian exchanged her freedom for this wedding. How come she didn't know that she was standing on his shoulders and enjoying his favor, but she couldn't accept this kind of favor with peace of mind.
She turned her head and took two steps forward. She seemed to finally know why Chang Ning wanted her to come behind the screen. If Gu Huaian wanted to bring her here, what kind of important words would it be? She was so curious that she almost went crazy, but she And dare not listen.
She always felt that if Gu Huaian brought out an unfamiliar person like Chang Ning, it would definitely not be gossip about someone from the royal family. After all, he was not stupid enough to talk about the emperor or the emperor in front of Chang Ning. The Queen's fault, if these are not possible, they are probably just his last words.
Chang Ning looked at Gu Qiang's expression quietly. Although he wanted to say it in a relaxed tone, it was obviously unrealistic now.
After pondering for a long time, the words went through his mouth a thousand times. Finally, Chang Ning grinned awkwardly, smiled first, and then said: "I feel that your brother is worrying too much. He said that if he... replies this time... If you can't come back, I'll ask you to go to Tong'an Pharmacy, sell everything, and use the money as your dowry. I also said that your mother left in a hurry and didn't prepare any dowry for you. I hope you don't blame her."
Chang Ning has never felt that time has been so long. She has always been an elegant person. Everything should be taken care of, but when Gu Huaian said such words in front of her, she didn't even know why her heartbeat was so fast. Her eyes were dull and lifeless, and her mouth was not as sharp as before.
It seemed that after a long time, she finally found the illusion of a young person.
Of course, it's just an illusion. She claims to have a lot more experience than the average person, but sometimes, she also clearly knows that feelings have nothing to do with how much experience they have.
How can you control your heart
Gu Qiang stood there in a daze, with the wind blowing from all directions. She felt as if she had been evacuated, and she was so dry that she didn't know how her heart was beating.
Then she suddenly sat on the ground, looking at the ground with her whole body trembling, and tears fell down. Chang Ning opened her mouth, thinking that she had done something wrong, but she had been at a high place all her life, and at this time, she could not even comfort her. I can't even say anything.
Naturally, Changning didn't know what was wrong with being the emperor's physician, and she didn't want to make a will for herself as Gu Huaian imagined. In her heart, although the emperor was unwise, he was not a wise king either.
Gu Qiang didn't stand up for a long time. Gu Suliang stepped forward to help her up and whispered in a very soft voice: "Girl, don't panic. The matter is far from that point. Mr. Gu is just Hypothesis.”
How could Gu Qiang not know? She understood that nothing had happened to Gu Huaian yet, but what made her sad was that Gu Huaian had done this for herself.
Before she lost her memory, how good was she to Gu Huaian to get such a reward from him
After getting up, Gu Qiang wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, smiled sadly and said: "Princess Ziyan, didn't you invite me to go to the courtyard with you? Let's go."
Ziyan turned around and looked at Changning awkwardly. It was obvious that she didn't want to go with Gu Qiang as she was now. She always felt that one person could stifle her pain in a short time. One can imagine her inner strength.
People who can swallow pain will inevitably digest it. If they can't digest it and want to say that it explodes, it will directly "injure" the people next to them, such as Ziyan who is following Gu Qiang at this time.
She wanted to cut out her tongue. Why did she just want to go out with Gu Qiang? Chang Ning pretended not to see Zi Yan's plea for help and said, "Follow Luo Ping and go out for a walk."
After saying that, she stretched out her hand, and after closing the screen in front of her, she seemed to close her eyes and rest.
The backyard of Prime Minister Gu's Mansion was very large. At this time, everyone was sitting inside. They turned to look at the two princesses Gu Qiang and Ziyan curiously. On the one hand, they felt that the status of these two people was unattainable. On the other hand, they also felt that the so-called birds of a feather flock together. People are divided into groups. As expected, people of any status play with people of different status. That kind of world is completely inaccessible.
Qingshui Garden was just around the corner. The courtyard was very lively at this time. The whole courtyard was filled with congratulatory gifts from Chang Ning Ziyan and all the guests. Ting Feng and Chui Xue obviously did not expect that their master was still in the courtyard without anyone paying attention a few days ago. Today, It can be said that the bustling houses are no longer what they used to be, and having them as maids really makes their faces look brighter.
Ziyan followed Gu Qiang and was about to enter when she saw Gu Qiang who was walking in front suddenly stopped and Tingfeng stood at the door and kept giving her looks.
In fact, it doesn't matter even if Tingfeng doesn't do this. Ye Mu, whom he just met yesterday, now appears upright in front of Gu Qiang. Not to mention, he is wearing a purple robe with embroidered embroidery on the corners of his sleeves. The delicate plum blossoms were neatly combed back, tied up with a purple hairband, but his expression was not so calm.
Ziyan stretched out her head. When she saw the person in front of her, she froze. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out. For such a cheerful child, how could she possibly say anything that came to her lips? It's so easy to give up.
She couldn't say it because Ye Mu on the other side spoke first.
His voice was always cold, but there was a hint of tenderness in it, just like spring water. It was obviously cold and biting, but when you saw it, you knew that spring was coming.
At this time, Ziyan couldn't hear anything but her own heartbeat, because her spring was coming.
"I heard that the marriage between the Princess and the Ninth Prince has been finalized. Congratulations." He spoke every word, each word hitting Gu Qiang's heart hard, embarrassing her.
It was obvious that she had done nothing wrong and had not made any agreement with Ye Mu, but the way he acted now was as if she was a betrayed person.
"Thank you." Gu Qiangyun was calm and did not seem to catch the unwillingness in Ye Mu's eyes.
"I thought that I and your lord, the Princess, would be together for a long time, but I didn't want the Ninth Prince to marry me first. It shows that fate is really unpredictable." Ye Mu made an indescribable expression as he spoke.
At this time, Ziyan finally understood the situation at hand. She walked up to Gu Qiang and met Ye Mu's eyes. Did this man mean behind his words that he liked Gu Qiang
"What do you mean? Do you also want to marry your sister?" Ziyan's personality is like this. She always says what she wants, but this does not mean that she can back down.
Ye Mu seemed to finally realize who the woman in front of him was, but he could no longer hold back the disdainful expression on his face.
How could a man of his age not know how the little princess in front of him felt about him.
But he still couldn't accept that the Gu family called him all the way from the south of the Yangtze River. It was a good idea, and Ye allowed him to marry Gu Qiang. He didn't feel that he liked Gu Qiang that much, but why did he go back on what he said?
He couldn't swallow this breath. He felt that the entire Gu family looked down on him. He had a good attitude, but he still couldn't let go this time.
"Why not?" Ye Mu sneered and said slowly, his voice was very calm, it seemed that he was the one who should marry Gu Qiang.
Ziyan bit her lip, finally held back the tears in her eyes, and whispered, "Do you know who I am?"
"Of course, Princess Ziyan, this is our first time meeting you..."
Before he finished speaking, Ziyan's eyes were red with anger. First time meeting? He remembered that the last time they met was at a teahouse in Beijing. He was sitting quietly in the corner on the second floor. The sun shone on his face. His features were like jade carvings, his lips were frozen, and his facial features were so cold and expressionless. But she forced him to be so gentle.
"You are Ye Mu, from the south of the Yangtze River, Mrs. Gu's natal nephew, do you need to add another one now? Do you like sister Qiang?" Ziyan said all the words he tried to say in one breath, like pouring beans.
She had imagined in her boudoir that if she said these words in front of Ye Mu, Ye Mu would be so surprised, and lamented that there was such a woman in the world who paid so much attention to and understood her.
But now when she really said such words in front of him, she felt sad. She didn't hate Gu Qiang, she just felt that she and Ye Mu had no fate at all.
As expected, Ye Mu was stunned.
It's just that this young master is a man who has read books, so he immediately turned around and chuckled: "I don't know that Princess Ziyan understands me so well, but I already have Gu Qiang in my heart. Although she will marry someone else in the future, today It’s hard for me to deal with my mood.”
Ziyan didn't say anything, her eyes were dim like stars about to fall. She didn't say anything, pursed her lips, and left with her female officer.
Gu Qiang stood there with a cold face, her back straight, and said to the man in front of her: "What are you doing? Mr. Ye, Gu Qiang has always admired your integrity, but didn't expect you to be so despicable and shameless?"
Ye Mu didn't expect that Gu Qiang could say this about him, and he was indeed a little sad. He just quickly calmed down his expression and continued what Gu Qiang said: "How about despicable? Who is as despicable as your Gu family? Although our Jiangnan Ye family I don’t have any political status, and I won’t be insulted by you like the eldest son. I promised to come and marry you. Now that you are marrying the Ninth Prince, have you ever thought about where I want to put my face?”
Gu Qiang laughed angrily and said coldly: "What does this matter have to do with me? Did I ask you to come here? Did I ask you to marry me? You have read a lot, how come you don't know how wrong it is to accommodate others? matter?"
She really didn't understand that he was willing to be her parents' pawn, and it was clearly arranged, but Gu Qiang was not willing. She didn't want to be a pawn for Prime Minister Gu and Ye, and naturally she didn't want to be arranged.
