When An Ye saw Qi Bai's face, he almost took a step back in fright, thinking that he had fallen into a trap. Qi Bai himself didn't know how to wear a human/leather mask, so naturally he didn't dare to take it off easily, so he had no choice but to do so. He spread his hands and said, "An Ye, is the prince with you?"
"Well, it's just that I'm the only one back this time. Are what Shen Zhongbai and Gu Linjiang said at the banquet just now true? Is the princess really..." Even now, An Ye still can't believe that the princess is like this. No, if this is really the case, even I would not have the shame to go back to see the prince.
Qi Bai naturally knew what An Ye was worried about, and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Princess, nothing big happened, but the matter is very complicated. I can't tell you in detail for the time being. I can only wait until you are free to listen." When I go to the pavilion, I will personally ask Mr. Gusu. You have been away from the main hall for too long. It is best not to stay outside. You are a good envoy of Southern Qi. If you disappear for too long, it is very likely that you will If you are suspected by Shen Zhongbai, go back early."
"Well, by the way, the prince also wants me to come back first to report to everyone that he is safe. He is fine now and is very safe. However, he cannot appear in Bei'an for the time being. He will definitely come back safely after a while. "Yes." Since the Ninth Princess is fine, the prince will definitely work hard to take good care of his injuries and will never let the princess worry.
Gu Qiang and Shen Siyin finally reached a consensus and decided to postpone their marriage for two or three years. Shen Siyin was obviously moved by Gu Qiang's words. After all, he didn't want to just do it casually. Yes, by explaining his life-long affairs like this, he would not be delayed, and he could help the emperor's brother. It was indeed killing two birds with one stone, and Shen Siyin had no reason to refuse.
At the door of the hall, Gu Qiang happened to meet Qi Bai and said goodbye to Shen Siyin. After preparing to go in and say goodbye to Shen Zhongbai, he was about to leave. However, he did not expect that he met Gu Linjiang at the door of the hall who had just left.
Gu Linjiang had a bitter look on his face, and it seemed that he had lost miserably in the game with Shen Zhongbai, but when he saw Gu Su Ran, he still greeted him with a smile on his face, "Why hasn't Mr. Gu Su left yet? "
"Prime Minister Gu, this is also the first time for Cao Min to enter the palace, so he is still a little curious about the things in the palace, so he and the princess just went there for a while. After saying goodbye to the emperor, we will leave immediately." Gu Qiang I have learned a lot from my father's ability to adapt to the situation. Although I hate him a lot in my heart, on the surface, I am still calm, and I even replied to his words with a little smile.
Gu Linjiang could clearly feel Gu Su Ran's alienation from him from Gu Su Ran's words, but Gu Su Ran was a little too ungrateful. He was also the prime minister of Bei'an after all. Although Gu Su's family had a big business, but In Chaozhou, if there is no support at all, this industry will naturally not be able to develop. However, the two people in the Gusu family are more troublesome than the other. Gusu Liang is unswerving in his repeated invitations. Gusu Ran He also always maintains a polite distance from himself, which is indeed difficult to deal with.
"Young Master Gusu has been able to make a name for himself in Kyoto at such a young age. He is indeed not an ordinary person. I really admire him. I wonder how old Young Master Gusu is this year? If I can't chat with Princess Siyin. , I have a little girl at home, it seems that she should be about the same age as the young master, if there is a chance, can I introduce you two young people to get to know each other?"
Speaking of the little girl in Gu Linjiang's family, isn't she the shameless Gu Zhiyao
Thinking about that woman, Gu Qiang's head felt heavy. Did Gu Linjiang really not know who his fourth daughter was? Why was he unable to give it to Bai Zhi before, but now he had his own idea
"Cao Min is nineteen years old this year, but since the emperor has granted Princess Si Yin marriage to me, I will naturally no longer consider girls from other families. I am afraid that I will let down Prime Minister Gu's good intentions." Gu Qiang reluctantly squeezed out He smiled a little and still maintained a good temper.
"Young Master Gusu is also nineteen years old this year. Alas, I have pity on my eldest daughter who just passed away not long ago. It's such a pity that she is your age... No wonder, I feel so kind to you. It seems that this is all for the elderly. What a worry."
Gu Qiang twitched the corner of her mouth. This old man might not be too good at gossiping. He didn't even know how old his biological girl was. She was afraid that he would bring up such a big thing, so she deliberately mentioned her age. A year passed, but I didn't expect the old man to still be like this, so he continued the conversation shamelessly.
"Prime Minister Gu, it's better to express your condolences. I'm still waiting to talk to the emperor about something, so I won't send Master Gu off..."
Such a conversation was clearly tempting him to jump into a trap, so Gu Qiang didn't bother to continue talking to him, "The ordinary people are of low status, how dare they have anything to do with Mr. Gu? I'd better ask Mr. Gu to express his condolences, the emperor is still waiting for the ordinary people, Common people don't send the prime minister many gifts."
Shen Zhongbai's idea was indeed correct. Originally, Gu Linjiang only got to know such a person when Gusu Ran became famous. However, he was not present at the Chamber of Commerce that day. He later heard from his subordinates that there was such a person. , he just knew.
However, he had gone to Gusu Liang several times before, but had not received any reply. How could he give up so easily? He already had enough power in the court, and now he only needed someone who could provide him with funds. On the other hand, since Gusu Liang didn't give him this face, he wanted to start from this aspect of Gusu Ran, but he didn't expect that Shen Zhongbai would take the lead.
"This guy really refuses to eat and is fined with wine."
"Your Majesty, the common people still have some things to do, so they won't stay too much in the palace. I have just discussed it with the princess. Although we have made an engagement, we are not in a hurry to get married. I have too many things in my hands. I I was afraid that I would neglect the princess when I was busy with what I was doing, so I just discussed it with the princess and postponed everything to three years later. I put off the wedding for the time being, but I am still the princess. The prince-in-law will never refuse to admit his fault, is this okay?"
After hearing Gu Suran's words, Shen Zhongbai felt a little guilty in his heart. He was already afraid that his sister would join Gusu's family because of his ambition, so he would inevitably feel a little wronged. However, he did not expect that Gusuran would actually do it himself. After making such a request, is it possible that he really has such a consciousness and knows that he is taking advantage of him
"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? How could I wrong you like this? Si Yin should be playful now, so he keeps trying to delay the marriage. If you have any objections, I will definitely not You can rest assured that she will let her temper run wild."
"No, Your Majesty, the common people have just gained a foothold in Kyoto and have not escaped the influence of their elder brother. Therefore, the common people also want to comply with the princess's wishes and finish the matters at hand first before busying themselves with the marriage. I just want to Just get the emperor’s approval.”
When Shen Zhongbai heard this, it was naturally impossible for him not to agree. This should be a good thing for himself, "Since you two think so, it is inconvenient for me to interfere. You two Just be well and get along well."
Shen Zhongbai's original purpose was to win Gu Su Ran under his banner. Doing so would not affect his original plan at all, since this was already the result of discussions between Gu Su Ran and Si Yin. , it is inconvenient for me to have any more questions, just let them do whatever they want.
"Your Majesty, the common people have taken their leave."
Compared with this matter, Gu Qiang is more worried about what happened to Qi Bai just now? Is that envoy from Southern Qi the person he is looking for? Gu Qiang and Qi Bai got on the carriage and made sure there was no one watching nearby before they started talking.
"Princess, the envoy just now is An Ye. The two of us have just talked. He already knows that nothing happened to you. The prince is also safe now. Princess, you don't have to worry." Qi Bai spoke. At that time, I couldn't control my excitement at all. I only restrained myself after considering that this was still on the street and there was a high probability that someone with high martial arts could hear what they said.
When Gu Qiang heard that Shen Qianshan was fine, the big stone hanging in his heart for so many days was completely relieved. As long as Shen Qianshan was fine, it didn't matter how many grievances he had suffered for so long, as long as Shen Qianshan was okay. It is enough that Qianshan is still alive and can appear in front of him.
"Very good… "
"By the way, Princess, An Ye will find an opportunity to come to Lingyin Pavilion to find you. Then you can tell him the details of what happened. He may also have something from the prince that he wants to tell you. An Ye told me that now the prince He is not within the borders of Bei'an, but please rest assured that he must be safe now."
"That's good, that's good..." For so many days, the one who has been able to support Gu Qiang to continue walking is Shen Qianshan. She believes that Shen Qianshan must be fine, so no matter what he does, Gu Qiang Qiangdu still maintained her original style, still noisy with them, but no one knew how scared she would be at night.
Shen Qianshan followed Su Jingxian back to the transition of Southern Qi. Su Jingxian was not a person who could attack his relatives. In this regard, he was indeed completely different from Shen Zhongbai.
