Just as Prime Minister Gu finished speaking, both Ye and Gu Zhihua turned to look at him. Although what he said was correct, how could he say such hurtful words to Gu Zhihua at this time
Ye was also unhappy, and turned to Prime Minister Gu and said: "Master, our family Zhihua has been weak in character since she was a child, warm and sensible, and is the pride of the Prime Minister's house. She is fully worthy of the third prince. You can't belittle yourself just because you are a concubine." ?”
Prime Minister Gu turned to look at Ye. Probably because there were too many things going on today, she didn't even have time to change into ordinary clothes. Gu Zhihua and she were still wearing gorgeous clothes, but their faces were gray.
I originally thought about going to the palace to receive the reward and take Gu Qiang to show off, but I didn't expect that it would end up like this, letting her watch a good show for free.
Gu Qiang sat next to him with a calm expression. Although Liu Shichu stood next to Gu Zhihua this time and gave her the award, she was not very happy.
It was indeed a good show. Gu Qiang raised his eyebrows and tried his best to make himself look unchanged. At this time, Ye Shi transferred all his emotions to himself.
Prime Minister Gu seemed to be thinking about Ye's words. He thought that what he had just said to Gu Zhihua and Ye was probably too harsh. He quickly took a sip of tea in embarrassment. He said that Ye would not talk to her before, but obviously now she She seems to care a lot about her relationship with her concubine. Whenever she mentions it, it's like stepping on her tail.
"Even so, if you Zhihua liked the third prince, wouldn't he have got his wish now?" Prime Minister Gu said slowly, and coughed softly, as if to cover up his embarrassment.
Mrs. Ye could also hear that Prime Minister Gu's tone softened, and she immediately felt very aggrieved. Gu Zhihua couldn't control his emotions at all, and said loudly: "Concubine and wife are different. If your daughter is married, The child you give birth to can only be a bastard!"
Ye's face suddenly changed. What was Gu Zhihua talking about? Originally, the atmosphere could be relaxed a little, but now it has become very awkward.
Prime Minister Gu had a cold face and didn't say a word. He just sat there. When his eyes glanced at Gu Zhihua, he gritted his teeth tightly, as if he wanted to go up and tear her to pieces, but as a father , naturally he can't do this.
"Who made you like him? If it had been anyone else, this situation would not have happened." After a long silence, Prime Minister Gu said slowly, his voice was cold, powerful, and seemed to be sarcastic.
Gu Zhihua finally stopped talking, which made Mrs. Ye relieved. He grabbed her hand and said to Prime Minister Gu: "Zhihua can't accept it for a while. I'll take her down and discipline her. Don't worry, husband." ”
After saying that, he took Gu Zhihua's hand and left very quickly. Gu Zhihua didn't seem to want to leave. If he left now, he would lose the chance to fight for the last time and could only become helpless. Shen Zhongbai's concubine, if Prime Minister Gu can help him plead for mercy, this matter may be able to turn around.
But Ye's attitude was tough and he took Gu Zhihua and left.
Prime Minister Gu turned to look at Gu Qiang, who had been unresponsive, laughed dryly, and said to her: "Your sister is really... The third prince has a good character. Even if he is a concubine, he will have the opportunity to be his concubine later. Like, what can't be done by then? Why bother caring about such a small thing?"
Gu Qiang nodded slightly, agreeing with Prime Minister Gu's words. What does Gu Zhihua's matter have to do with her? Just pretend not to hear.
"But Zhihua is about to get married. Qian'er, you also need to think about your life's important events. Don't worry, your father will find you a good family." Prime Minister Gu breathed a sigh of relief and said confidently. .
Gu Qiang turned her head, met Prime Minister Gu's eyes, and said, "Qian'er has indeed thought about her life-long events before. Now that her father has taken the initiative to bring it up today, Qian'er really wants to ask her father what he means."
Gu Qiang's man before was Shen Zhongbai, but now she would definitely not choose that man with evil intentions. At this time, she wanted to explore Prime Minister Gu's background and see where he put her.
If there is a marriage with another official family for the sake of the Gu family's status, Gu Qiang will definitely try her best to stop it.
Prime Minister Gu just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect that Gu Qiang would actually take it to heart, so he thought about it seriously and said: "If I want to find a husband for you, of course he must have good moral character and be an excellent person. Someone who is handsome and helpful to our Prime Minister's Palace."
The corner of Gu Qiang's mouth turned into a sarcastic arc. Although the last one was not emphasized deliberately, it was obviously the most important. She was not a fool and could not understand the meaning.
"What do you mean by Qian'er?" Gu Qiang asked. After saying so much, Prime Minister Gu didn't even ask what kind of man he wanted to find.
She knew that Gu Cheng had no true feelings for her. If he really cared about this legitimate daughter, how could he turn a blind eye to her when she was scarred.
Sure enough, it was because now that Gu Qiang had grown up and it was time to talk about marriage, Prime Minister Gu finally remembered this poor girl who had been forgotten in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Gu was stunned by Gu Qiang's question. He seemed a little embarrassed. He touched his nose, picked up the tea cup, looked at the tea leaves in the cup, pondered for a while, and then said: " Qian'er has a son you like?"
Gu Qiang shook her head and continued to look at Prime Minister Gu with a smile.
Prime Minister Gu breathed a sigh of relief, laughed loudly, and said: "If Qian'er likes a young master from any family, just tell her father. Although Zhihua did not become the prince's concubine as she wished at this time, the people who love each other only need to It’s good to be together, Qian’er, what do you think?”
Someone in love? Gu Qiang sneered in her heart. Shen Zhongbai didn't like any woman at all. His ambition was boundless. Women were just stepping stones on his way to success. It was just that Gu Zhihua only wanted to follow Shen Zhongbai wholeheartedly.
"It seems to Qian'er that my sister does have deep feelings for the third prince, but the third prince doesn't like her very much, right?" Gu Qiang said calmly, with no expression on her face. This was not sarcasm, it was just due to the current situation.
Prime Minister Gu sighed heavily and looked up to see that Ye and Gu Zhihua had not returned to the yard yet. They seemed to be arguing. Ye deliberately lowered his voice for fear that Prime Minister Gu would hear it, but he still noticed it.
"We'll talk about your business later. You can go down first." After Prime Minister Gu finished speaking, he waved his hand, then got up and walked in the direction of Gu Zhihua. Gu Qiang didn't care. When he returned to his yard, Gu Qiang Su Liang stood up from the chair under the tree, walked to her side, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty hopes that the young lady will quickly research the medicine to treat the plague."
Gu Qiang said: "I have no research on medicine. I just know that Suxincao can treat plague, but I don't know how to treat it."
Gu Suliang became nervous immediately and said to Gu Qiang: "The prince heard that Gu Zhihua took the girl's credit, saying that the girl lost an opportunity, and now is another good opportunity. As long as you study this medicine, He will take you to the palace, treat the Queen Mother, and say success or failure depends on this."
Gu Qiang nodded. She didn't know that Liu Shichu's incident was a big blow to her. She needed a new opportunity, but how to make this prescription
Do you want to correspond with the queen tonight? But we can only communicate with the queen when something big happens, and I'm afraid that's not possible today.
Gu Suliang looked at Gu Qiang for a while, and after realizing that she really had nothing to do, he took her hand and said to her: "The prince seems to have expected this a long time ago and asked you to go find your brother."
Gu Qiang suddenly realized that when it came to medicine, Gu Huaian was a good hand. It was probably because he was so tired these days that he didn't even think of this.
In the evening, Gu Qiang and Gu Su Liang arrived at Gu Huai'an's house on the outskirts of the city. When they walked in, they saw that Gu Huai'an was not in the room. After searching for a long time, they saw him sitting in the pavilion in the backyard reading a book. There was a bright table on the table. He lowered his head under the candlelight, and the candlelight shone on his face. His face was calm and very attentive.
Gu Qiang walked quietly to Gu Huai'an, then sat down, supported her chin with her hand, and looked at him quietly.
If he couldn't control it, Gu Huaian would always leave. Gu Qiang hoped that she could spend more time with him and fill her subsequent memories with happiness instead of regret.
Gu Huaian looked up from the book and met Gu Qiang's eyes. At that moment, he felt that his surroundings seemed to be bright. Then he smiled and said, "Why are you here? Are you exhausted from the journey? Have you eaten yet?" ?”
But Gu Qiang just shook her head and said in a low voice: "Brother, it's great to be able to look at you like this."
How could Gu Huaian know how much emotion Gu Qiang's words contained, including regret and self-blame, but Gu Qiang immediately put her emotions away and her eyes lit up.
"Of course, you can watch it as long as you want."
Gu Huaian took out an apple from the fruit basket next to him and carefully peeled it for Gu Qiang, but Gu Qiang held down his hand and said to him: "Brother, I came here this time to discuss something very important with you. .”
Gu Huaian's movements did not stop. He looked at the apple and said: "The Ninth Prince has sent someone to tell me that I have prepared the prescription. In fact, the prescription for this plague is very simple. It's just that the Su Xin grass is not good." Just get it, don’t forget to take it with you when you leave later.”
After saying that, he handed the peeled apple to Gu Qiang and said to her, "Look at you. We haven't seen you for a few days and you have already lost a lot of weight."
