Gu Qiang has entered this palace many times, but this time he entered the palace, but he was in a rare good mood. After all, this time it was very likely that he would get clues about Shen Qianshan from the mouth of the Southern Qi envoy. After Qi Bai did this, he was really looking forward to it.
Gu Qiang quietly watched the people coming in and out at the door, and silently calculated in her heart how many of these people could be used by the ghost himself.
Most of the people Gu Linjiang has in his hands now have been trained by him since he entered the court. Therefore, even if he uses all kinds of methods, it is difficult to shake the relationship between them. If it was to attack these people, Gu Qiang had no better way now. He could only find a way to make Gu Linjiang suspicious of them. Gu Linjiang was always a suspicious person. Only in this way could he have a chance to separate Gu Linjiang's power.
Gu Qiang and Qi Bai have been standing near the door. It is inevitable that many palace maids will stop at the two of them, just one or two. More and more people begin to look at their faces. Gu Qiang inevitably felt a little guilty and thought there was something on her face. She turned around and wanted to ask Qi Bai, but found that Qi Bai was also looking in his direction with a smile on his face.
"Why are you laughing? Is there something on my face?"
"No, no, no, no," Qi Bai said quickly, "They are not watching you make a fool of yourself, it's just that you look a bit too cute."
The banquet hall is set up in the main hall, which is already grand enough. In addition, the people coming in and out are all important ministers in the court. It is enough to show how much Shen Zhongbai attaches great importance to this time, and he also provides Gu Qiang. It's just an opportunity. It's just that I shouldn't have been invited to this banquet. Shen Zhongbai suddenly invited me to participate, but just don't make any mistakes.
Gu Qiang specially picked out a new set of clothes to put on today. As soon as she and Qi Bai appeared, they attracted the attention of the ministers. After all, the people in the hall were all officials wearing official uniforms, and they were also palace aristocrats. When such a person suddenly appeared, everyone's attention was obviously attracted to him.
Shen Zhongbai also saw Gu Su Ran, and motioned to the little eunuch beside him to bring Gu Su Ran, who had been standing at the door, close to him, "Master Gu Su, please come this way."
Gu Qiang originally thought that with all the officials in the court present, her position should be relatively far away, but she did not expect that Shen Zhongbai would place herself next to Gu Linjiang. Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of the situation? Why don't you come and give Gu Linjiang a show of strength? Fortunately, Gu Linjiang has never cared about him much since he was a child. Even if he has some habits in his behavior that cannot be changed in a short time, Gu Linjiang will not find out.
Shen Qianshan is already the last prince of Bei'an. Most of Shen Zhongbai's brothers still have them, and most of them look like they can't be great people anymore. Looking at the past, the situation is a bit pathetic. What if? If Bei'an encounters any problems in the future, and Shen Zhongbai cannot handle it alone, he would like to see who else in Bei'an can step forward.
Shen Zhongbai was the only one beside Shen Qiangwei. Sitting next to him were several princesses. The most attractive one among them was Shen Siyin. He remembered what Shen Zhongbai said before that he wanted to recruit her as Shen Siyin's consort. Gu Qiang still felt a chill down her spine. Could it be that Shen Zhongbai called her here today just for this matter
The envoy of Nan Qi was very humble. Qi Bai stood not far behind Gu Qiang, pointed at one of them secretly, and whispered in Gu Qiang's ear, "That's that person. "
Gu Qiang looked in the direction of that person unabashedly. It was strange that she had never seen this person before, but it was like Qi Bai said. She felt very familiar when she looked at this person.
As if aware of Gu Qiang's scrutinizing gaze, An Ye, who was dressed as an envoy from Nan Qi across from him, also felt a little strange. After all, he didn't know the young man in white at all. He only felt that he was a little familiar, so he returned the direction in Gu Qiang's direction. Gu Qiang was a little embarrassed and smiled at the man.
In recent years, Nan Qi's business has developed very fast relying on the business between the border and Bei'an. Most of the officials on the border regarded Nan Qi as a financial sponsor and made a lot of money. Shen Zhongbai was naturally aware of this. Knowing the significance of Southern Qi to him, he treated the envoys of Southern Qi favorably.
"Your Majesty, we are very sincere in wanting to get married this time. I wonder if there are any royal princesses who have not yet been engaged? Our fourth prince is a talented person and will never treat the princess of Bei'an badly."
An Ye at least came with a mission. This time he couldn't forget what Su Jingxian told him. After all, the prince was still by his side.
"These imperial sisters of mine are also very outstanding. Almost all of them of similar age are already engaged. This..."
After saying this, Gu Qiang raised her head and looked at the princesses around Shen Zhongbai. They all had their own thoughts now. It seemed that everyone had their own ideas about the marriage. There were several princesses, Even he himself has never seen them. If he really wanted to get married, Shen Zhongbai would definitely let these princesses go to Nan Qi.
"Your Majesty, Princess Si Yin has just returned to the palace. It seems that the marriage has not been announced yet. Why don't we let Princess Si Yin go to Nan Qi to get married?" Gu Linjiang suddenly spoke up, almost scaring Gu Qiang beside him.
Gu Qiang looked at the old fox next to her. She didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. How could he suddenly encourage Shen Siyin to marry the fourth prince of Nan Qi
Shen Siyin's expression changed obviously. He was originally very impatient and almost couldn't sit still and stood up. However, Gu Qiang could understand. Shen Shiyin had not been in the palace for many years and had just come back. If he was so easily accused of being married to the fourth prince of Nan Qi, he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.
"I have indeed considered what Prime Minister Gu said, but the envoy from Nan Qi came a step too late. Although my sister is indeed very outstanding, I have already proposed her marriage to Gusu in the city a few days ago. My young master, the imperial edict has not yet been issued. I was originally planning to announce the edict in front of all the civil and military officials today, but I didn’t want Prime Minister Gu to say it one step ahead. In this case, I will take advantage of this opportunity to settle the matter. Come down." Shen Zhongbai waved his hand and motioned to the little eunuch beside him to bring over the imperial edict.
Gu Qiang was stunned on the spot. Although Shen Zhongbai did tell him about this matter, was it too soon
Gu Qiang could probably figure out what was going on. He could tell from that day at the Chamber of Commerce. Although he said he knew nothing about business, Shen Simin was definitely a very powerful character. Could it be that Gu Linjiang , are you actually starting to be afraid of this little girl now
After hearing what Shen Zhongbai said, the envoys of Southern Qi looked a little worried. The little eunuch next to Shen Zhongbai quickly brought the imperial edict. Everything seemed to have been arranged. Gu Qiang even regretted it now. Today Appearing in this place, what should I do? If I had known that this was the case, I should have claimed to be sick and not come today. But now, the imperial edict is right in front of me, how can I not accept it
Gu Qiang subconsciously turned her head to look at Qi Bai beside her, but Qi Bai poked her shoulder and signaled her to follow.
Shen Siyin's face turned cloudy and there was a smile between his eyebrows. Apart from anything else, Shen Zhongbai was pretty good to his sister.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."
Opposite An Ye murmured in her heart, talking about the Gusu family in Kyoto, isn't it Gusu Liang? When did Shen Zhongbai get a younger brother and was summoned as his consort? It seemed that a lot of things had happened in the short time they had been away.
"Young master Gusu, there is no need to be polite. From now on, you are the consort of my royal family. We are just one family, so why should we care so much?" Shen Zhongbai seemed to be very satisfied with Gusuran, his sister-in-law. Originally, Shen Zhongbai wanted to win over Gusuran. The Su family has always encountered the thorn in the side of Gu Su Liang, who is unwilling to join the court as an official no matter what. But it is different now. If Gu Su Ran becomes the consort, it means that the Gu Su family has been taken under his banner. There was a shackles between him and Gu Linjiang, restraining each other.
"On the other hand, Prime Minister Gu, you seem to have a few more ladies in your house recently. You should take good care of your own family affairs. My sister's marriage is something that the Prime Minister should not worry about."
"Your Majesty is joking. My daughter has recently lost her life. The life of the Ninth Prince is uncertain. It seems that Qian'er is not lucky enough to stay in the sun. The old minister is in a depressed mood. How can he think of marrying a side wife?" Gu Linjiang As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was acting strangely. After An Ye heard these words, he was also shocked. Could it be that during the time when the prince left the capital, the princess had already...
An Ye clenched his fists, but now he couldn't show anything strange. Originally, he was a fake envoy. Although he had the identity of an envoy now, what if Shen Zhongbai found out that he was with the prince? Guard, the prince's whereabouts were exposed in this way.
Looking at everyone here, Gu Qiang was the only one who was very calm. Instead, he looked at him with disgust. This old guy obviously didn't treat him that well. Gu Qiang's identity had already been burned to death. Even though he is in the palace, he still uses the fact that he lost his daughter to play the bitterness card. It's really disgusting.
