Queen Su's eyes lit up, and then she looked up at Ye, smiled at her, and said softly: "Madam is very sensible, I will take note of it."
Ye immediately laughed and continued: "This is what we ministers should do. If the Queen needs anything else, we can all do it together. This matter concerns the people, and the Gu family will definitely bear the brunt."
Queen Su nodded and said: "Okay, by the way, I heard that your Gu family has an eldest lady, Gu Qiang, who is here today?"
Sure enough, these people still know Gu Qiang, right? Ye was originally very angry, but when she thought that she came here without bringing anything, she immediately turned around and pointed in the direction of Gu Qiang, and everyone looked at her.
Gu Qiang calmed down and saw Mrs. Ye waving to her to let her pass.
Helpless, Gu Qiang slowly walked to the Queen and bowed.
"Is this the eldest girl of the Gu family? She looks pretty and pretty, very good." The queen said, and then looked at Gu Qiang with piercing eyes.
These were just polite words, actually just to ease the awkward atmosphere at this time. After all, everyone knew the theme of this time. Naturally, the queen could not blatantly ask for money, and could only wait for Gu Qiang to take the initiative.
But Gu Qiang stood there and just said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your praise."
Then she became motionless. Queen Su was still waiting for Gu Qiang to either give her some money or treasures, or to say "best efforts", but she still didn't say anything.
Queen Su clearly knew that Gu Qiang was the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Although she called Ye "mother" on the surface, in fact, the relationship was not very good in private, so the two people should be separated, but she did not want the dignified eldest daughter of the Gu family. The young lady has no eyesight at all and doesn’t take anything at all. Is the palace really in the mood to hold a banquet at this time? It was just an excuse. Generally speaking, Queen Su had a lot of objections to Gu Qiang. This girl was not as outstanding as the eldest princess and the Queen Mother said. On the contrary, she was even a somewhat dull woman.
Queen Su was not a woman without eyesight. She waved her hand and said to the three members of the Gu family: "You all can go down."
Ye's face suddenly fell. She felt that Queen Su had rejected her because she didn't like Gu Qiang. In this case, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain
When they got on the sedan chair, Mrs. Ye didn't say a word. There was no way to explain it. Gu Qiang didn't have much money and couldn't take it out even if she was asked to take it. She couldn't express herself without money. In other words, this could only be regarded as karma.
When they arrived at Gu's house, Mrs. Ye got off the sedan and walked to her yard. Gu Zhihua did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he stood in front of Gu Qiang and looked at her with a cold face.
Chapter 31 Reprimand
Gu Qiang turned her head. At this time, Gu Zhihua shook out the clothes on her body. The material was very precious. In Gu Qiang's opinion, her movements were like shaking gold. Even if she wears such expensive clothes, she is nothing more than an ugly woman, both inside and outside she is equally dirty.
As the gust of wind blew by, Gu Qiang smelled the pungent smell. This was the gouache from Yinshui Pavilion in the capital. It was something that all official ladies wanted, but she didn't like it.
Gu Zhihua met Gu Qiang's eyes and said coldly: "Gu Qiang, are you crazy? Don't you know why the Queen came to us? Are you really that poor?"
Aren’t you poor? Gu Qiang thought that if she hadn't been strong, she might not even be able to eat now. Who is like her, wearing expensive clothes and wearing expensive gouache on her face? What's the use of saying this at this time
But even though he was thinking so much, there was still no expression on his face. Gu Qiang only had one idea. According to the records in the diary, he would be attacked by refugees and lose his memory.
The most important thing among them is being attacked by refugees. If she were replaced by Gu Zhihua, then she would be the one being attacked, and she could just sit back and enjoy the benefits. Wouldn't it be beautiful
When Gu Zhihua saw that Gu Qiang had no reaction at all, he immediately became even more angry. He originally just wanted to mock her, but he didn't expect that she didn't take it to heart at all. On the contrary, it made him extremely angry.
"Are you deaf? Weren't you very good at speaking before? In front of my mother, you were very articulate. Now look what you are wearing? Isn't it shameful to wear such clothes when entering the palace?" Gu Qiang stretched out her hand and tugged on it. Gu Qiang was wearing clothes made of white material, and then she had a look of contempt on her face.
Gu Qiang turned her head and saw that Tingfeng and Chuixue had already come over. Looking at the faces of the two girls, she knew how much they hated Gu Zhihua.
So Gu Qiang lowered her head, stretched out her hand to knock Gu Zhihua's hand off her clothes, and said coldly: "Don't you know how much money I have no matter what clothes I wear? While controlling my money, I hope that I Don’t be embarrassed if you dress nice, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
After Gu Qiang finished speaking, she met Tingfeng and Chuixue and followed the two maids back to her yard.
This bitch! Gu Zhihua stood there and clutched his handkerchief tightly. Why was this woman so annoying? He obviously wanted to ridicule her, but was ridiculed by Gu Qiang
After standing there and stamping his feet fiercely, Gu Zhihua finally returned to his room obediently.
On the other side, Queen Gu Qiang sat on a chair in the main hall of Fengqi Palace after she came back from the Prince's Mansion. Ling'er stood beside her and sorted out everything she knew and put it in front of her.
Gu Qiang flipped through the pages, but frowned. She already knew these things, but she just wrote them over again. There were no important things at all.
only these? "After Gu Qiang threw the notebook on the table, she turned to ask Ling'er. The latter seemed very nervous, but still nodded and said to her: "That's all, Queen, it seems that someone deliberately suppressed this matter. There was no news at all. "
How is it possible, if it were someone else, Gu Huaian had already severed ties with the Gu family, but why was he still killed? This matter bothered Gu Qiang and made her unable to even eat lunch.
Just as Gu Qiang was thinking about how to proceed, she heard the eunuch's sharp voice coming from the entrance of the courtyard: "The Emperor has arrived."
It was Shen Zhongbai. Gu Qiang frowned. Why did he come here
Gu Qiang couldn't remember how long it had been since Shen Zhongbai came over. When he was still in Gu Qiang's heart, she used to sit in front of the window, hoping that he could come and see her, at least as a couple.
But now Gu Qiang has woken up. When she hears a little bit of news about Shen Zhongbai, she just feels nauseous and doesn't want to know any more news.
Gu Qiang stood up and led everyone in Fengqi Palace out to greet Shen Zhongbai. As soon as she knelt on the ground, Shen Zhongbai passed by her, sat on the main seat of the main hall, and looked at her condescendingly.
He didn't ask Gu Qiang to get up, which was to give her power. She knew these small details very well, and it turned out to be Shen Zhongbai's usual style.
"I heard that you went to the Prince's Mansion?" Shen Zhongbai reached out and gently rubbed the teacup on the table, staring at the teacup, and asked slowly.
There was no emotion or joy in his voice, but Gu Qiang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He actually knew that there were probably two possibilities, either he had an informant around him, or Shen Qianshan was interested in him. He said it.
No matter which one of these two it is, it is obvious that Shen Zhongbai came to investigate.
It is true that I did something wrong and was a little impulsive.
"Yes, my concubine has been there." Gu Qiang replied slowly. Since the matter could no longer be concealed, she might as well admit it, otherwise it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor and she would be in trouble.
"You are a queen with a noble status. Why do you want to go to the prince's house? The ninth prince has not married at all at this time. If you go there rashly, what will be said to you? Have you not thought about it at all?" Shen Zhongbai said coldly. He said, he was so angry that he was about to explode, his eyes were scarlet, but he still looked at Gu Qiang calmly.
Gu Qiang lowered his head. Why bother to accuse him
"Yes, I know I was wrong." Gu Qiang still lowered her head and said slowly.
Shen Zhongbai didn't look after Gu Qiang. Could it be that just admitting his mistake would calm him down? That's impossible. Shen Zhongbai came here today just to seize this opportunity and want to punish Gu Qiang.
"As a queen, you must always know what you are doing. I think you need to calm down now. Why don't you just stay in Fengqi Palace and don't go out." After Shen Zhongbai finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to go outside. It seemed that he had no intention of going out. Give Gu Qiang a chance to speak.
How could Shen Zhongbai not know that Gu Qiang was well-connected in the court and even in the army. This was why he had never dared to attack her. That woman was much more powerful than he thought.
When Shen Zhongbai left, the strong wind on his body carried the scent of a woman. This was the scent of another woman. As an emperor, it seemed normal to have the scent of another woman on his body, so she didn't take it to heart.
Ling'er came up, helped Gu Qiang up, and whispered: "Queen, why does the emperor treat you like this? You have done nothing wrong."
Ling'er said that to Gu Qiang, she was actually grounded. Could it be that investigating Gu Huai'an was so shameful
"Because this matter has nothing to do with him, I just assume that he should have felt that the Ninth Prince had shaken his status. It happened that my eldest brother was a member of the Ninth Prince, so he killed my eldest brother. Of course, it may also be because of my eldest brother What he discovered made the Ninth Prince unhappy, so he killed my eldest brother to silence him." Gu Qiang stood up from the ground, with an uncertain expression on her face.
At the other end of the diary, Gu Qiang wished she could help her fifteen-year-old self, but now she couldn't do anything.
Just hope she can change that.
