The Queen Mother saw Shen Zhongbai's expression change in an instant, and coughed softly. Just when she was about to say something, the eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: "The Ninth Prince is here."
Everyone here was stunned. Gu Qiang turned around and saw Shen Qianshan wearing the same white clothes. The look of the jade tree facing the wind made Gu Qiang feel a little distracted.
After Shen Qianshan saw the Queen Mother, he turned to look at Shen Zhongbai, with a bright smile on his face, and said to Shen Zhongbai, "Long time no see, third brother."
Shen Zhongbai raised his eyes and looked at Shen Qianshan. This was his third brother. On the surface, the relationship between the two was very good, but in fact, in private, they had no contact with each other at all. Shen Qianshan's sudden appearance today must be because of Gu Qiang's affairs.
The secret guard had told Shen Zhongbai in the early morning that Gu Qiang was actually with Shen Qianshan last night. The relationship between the two people must not be as simple as it seems.
"Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, Ninth Brother and Miss Gu must have met many times, right?" Shen Zhongbai said with a smile. No one noticed that there was a trace of malice in Shen Zhongbai's eyes.
How could the woman he couldn't get be snatched away by Shen Qianshan
The Queen Mother originally wanted to bring Shen Zhongbai and Gu Qiang together, but it was not the right time at this time, so she said to the three of them: "You are of similar age and have many topics to talk about together. I am tired, so I will rest first."
After saying this, the Queen Mother stood up and left. Before leaving, she asked Gu Qiang not to forget to come to her to receive the reward before leaving the palace.
After the Queen Mother left, Gu Qiang got up and prepared to go home. The situation was embarrassing at this time, and the best way to solve it was to leave the place of trouble and trouble quickly.
When Shen Zhongbai saw Gu Qiang trying to leave, he immediately chased after him and reached out to hold Gu Qiang's hand, but she threw it away and asked calmly: "Is there anything wrong with the third prince? If nothing happens, I'll give it to you." The woman is resigning."
Being touched by Shen Zhongbai can make Gu Qiang feel chills all over his body. This man exudes a very gloomy atmosphere all over his body. Others can't feel it because others don't understand Shen Zhongbai at all. Shen Zhongbai probably thinks that Gu Qiang doesn't understand him either. Own.
As long as he puts away his ambition in front of Gu Qiang and puts on a kind and elegant look, Gu Qiang can believe that he is that kind of man.
But Shen Zhongbai didn't want to let go just like that. He stretched out his hand to grab Gu Qiang's hand again, and said, "Listen to me..."
Gu Qiang struggled for a moment, but did not break free, but in the next second, she was pulled into her arms by a force. Gu Qiang turned her head and saw a sliver of white, the same color as the clothes she was wearing.
It's Shen Qianshan.
"Third brother, are you embarrassing Miss Gu?" The smile on Shen Qianshan's face was as elegant and indifferent as before. It was not clear whether he was annoyed at all, but his tone made Shen Zhongbai feel uncomfortable all over.
Obviously Shen Qianshan was protecting Gu Qiang, and Shen Zhongbai couldn't accept that he was disrespectful for a woman.
"Ninth brother, do you like this woman? We are brothers. You have always been the smart one. You know what women mean to us. In fact..." When Shen Zhongbai said this, he glanced at Gu Qiang and continued. The words were not spoken.
In fact, women are not important. You can have as many as you want, so as not to make the relationship between two brothers awkward for the sake of one woman. It's just that Shen Zhongbai didn't say it out loud.
"Of course, but this woman is different from other women." After Shen Qianshan finished speaking, he took Gu Qiang and left.
Shen Zhongbai watched the two people swaggering past him, gritted his teeth, and snatched the woman in front of him. Is Shen Qianshan impatient
Besides, what's so good about Gu Qiang that Shen Qianshan protects her so much? Could it be that I haven’t seen a good woman before
Entering the Imperial Garden, Gu Qiang was breathing heavily. The whole journey made Gu Qiang extremely nervous. There was always a very majestic atmosphere in the palace. Even the atmosphere in the palace was not dared to come out. The Imperial Garden was sparsely populated, and Gu Qiang was very nervous. Qiang was finally able to slow down.
In the pavilion, there are colorful flowers, and butterflies of various colors dance on the flowers, which makes people feel comfortable just looking at them. The fragrance of the flowers all around makes Gu Qiang's body smell better and better.
Shen Qianshan sat on the chair next to him, raising his head slightly, his face was clear-cut, his expression was calm, and his eyebrows and eyes looked relaxed.
Gu Qiang turned her head, saluted Shen Qianshan, and said in a gentle voice: "Thank you very much, Ninth Prince, for helping me this time. I am grateful."
Shen Qianshan turned his head, and the wind blew his hair up. He looked very touching. He didn't express much, but Gu Qiang still knew that he was smiling, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was in a good mood.
"This king is just passing by, you don't need to take it to heart." Shen Qianshan said slowly, his voice was gentle, completely different from the cold demeanor before, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a kind aura. breath.
Of course, Shen Qianshan himself didn't know how lethal his kindness and gentleness were to women. Gu Qiang knew that she was about to fall after just one glance.
Gu Qiang pinched her thigh hard, and then she felt so painful that she wanted to shed tears, and praised herself for being so cruel to her.
At this time, you can't think about anything about feelings, and you are still facing Shen Qianshan.
It was true that the Ninth Prince always appeared in front of her suddenly to help Gu Qiang and moved her, but she knew that there was no free lunch in this world, and everyone who wanted to help her was hoping to get something. As for what exactly she hoped to get, she didn't know.
Gu Qiang is just the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Marriage between the royal family and the official family has been inevitable since ancient times. As the home of the prime minister, the Gu family is of course the first and most important position that the princes must compete for. Therefore, the methods of the third prince and the ninth prince seem to have finally been found. source.
However, Gu Qiang is not a cold-blooded person. Shen Qianshan helped her repeatedly, but she pretended not to see it, which was a bit unjustifiable.
So Gu Qiang finally walked up to Shen Qianshan, pondered for a moment, rubbed his hands with each other, lowered his head, and looked at the toes of his shoes. They were a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes with plum blossoms embroidered on them. Clean, the texture is very clear.
"Although it's strange for me to say this, Ninth Prince, I hope you..." Before Gu Qiang could say anything, she was grabbed to the side and fell into the arms of a plum blossom-scented embrace.
Before Gu Qiang had time to react, he saw a palace maid wearing light green clothes standing there in panic behind her. With the sound of breaking porcelain, the palace maid quickly knelt on the ground and kept giving. Shen Qianshan kowtowed.
Shen Qianshan waved his hand, and the palace maid finally stood up, wiped her tears, stood up tremblingly, turned around and went down.
God knows that the palace maid just wanted to bring the tea given by the Queen Mother to these two distinguished guests, but one of them lost her balance and fell to the ground, almost spilling the tea on Miss Gu Qiang. Fortunately, the Ninth Prince Pull Miss Gu Qiang into her arms.
When the palace maid walked down from the pavilion, she finally accidentally knelt on the ground. It took her a long time to react.
Gu Qiang hurriedly broke away from Shen Qianshan's arms, but found that she blushed with embarrassment, reached out and touched her face with cold hands, and suddenly felt at a loss as she stood beside him. Gu Qiang seemed to find that her relationship with the Ninth Prince seemed to be getting closer and closer recently.
Shen Qianshan had no expression at all, as if he had just done something casually. He probably even did this kind of thing every day. If this is really the case, it can only be said that the Ninth Prince is not as simple as he imagined. , maybe he is still a very carefree person.
Gu Qiang quickly calmed down her mood, turned around and saluted Shen Qianshan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for once again saving my daughter."
Shen Qianshan smiled faintly, as if he had thought of something, and said to Gu Qiang, "What is the thing you haven't finished talking about before?"
Only then did Gu Qiang realize that she really wanted to talk about Shen Qianshan, so she quickly said, "I want to remind the prince to be careful."
Shen Qianshan, who was originally calm and lazy, suddenly started to do something after hearing Gu Qiang's words. He looked at her seriously. The wind blew up Shen Qianshan's clothes, and his white clothes were flying in the wind. The fragrance is different from the fragrance of the flowers around her. In other words, Shen Qianshan is different.
"What do you mean by this? Is this king in any danger?" Shen Qianshan approached Gu Qiang with an ugly face, which was different from many times before. Gu Qiang looked at his expression and suddenly felt a little scared.
Seeing Shen Qianshan approaching gradually, Gu Qiang suddenly became nervous. Why did Shen Qianshan become so angry? This was originally just a warning, or a kind reminder, but Shen Qianshan's expression seemed as if he was going to cause him harm.
"Ninth Prince, please calm down, my maid... I just want to remind you, there is no other intention." Gu Qiang was so frightened that her face turned pale. Fortunately, Gu Qiang was not a good person, and she would not be beaten by Shen Qian. The mountain was frightened.
Just as Shen Qianshan was approaching step by step, Gu Qiang, who had been standing in front of him, was suddenly pushed away by a strong wind. She screamed and almost hit the pillar behind. Shen Qianshan reacted and reached out to grab him. Gu Qiang.
Gu Qiang stood next to Shen Qianshan and took a closer look. He turned out to be the little princess Ziyan he met last night. He saw Ziyan standing in the middle of the pavilion, looking at Gu Qiang angrily, as if he wanted to tear her into pieces. Same, with anger written all over his face.
Shen Qianshan turned around and saw Ziyan's expression. Suddenly a strong cold wind poured into this small and exquisite pavilion, making Gu Qiang shiver, and then tightened her clothes. She smiled awkwardly at Ziyan, after all, Ziyan had said before that she wanted to be friends with Gu Qiang.
