When it comes to feelings, Gu Qiang also knows that after a person falls, he is basically hopeless. No matter how smart a person is, he will occasionally be confused, let alone a girl like Ziyan who is not smart in the first place. .
After Ziyan heard Gu Qiang's words, her face turned red quickly, and then her whole body was covered with a warm orange color, as if she thought of some good memories.
"I have liked Brother Ninth since I was a child. Because we have known each other for a long time, his advantages have become more obvious. He is more cold and domineering than the third prince, but also more humane than the third prince, because many people think of these two people. In comparison, in the end I still feel that Ninth Brother is better." Zi Yan said slowly, immersed in the beautiful memories.
Gu Qiang raised his eyebrows. There was a contradiction in Ziyan's words, apparently just because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As for which of the two men is better, she can't say for sure.
Just when Ziyan was standing next to Gu Qiang and reminiscing about Shen Qianshan's good deeds, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Why are you so dazed? Have you eaten?"
Gu Qiang turned around and saw the Shen Qianshan he was talking about appearing here. He was still dressed as before, clean and casual, very similar to the expression on his face.
Ziyan came to her senses, jumped in front of Shen Qianshan, and said very gently: "Brother Ninth, take me to eat delicious food? I haven't left the palace for a long time."
Shen Qianshan still seemed to be unable to accept a woman being so close to him, so he bowed slightly, looked up at Gu Qiang, and then said: "Qiang'er, please come out of the palace with us. The Queen Mother, as long as it's Just take the medicine on time.”
Gu Qiang shook her head and said with a smile: "I want to stay by the Queen Mother's side. Depending on her condition, you two can go out to eat without taking me with you."
After saying that, Gu Qiang turned around and returned to the main hall. Since Ziyan liked Shen Qianshan so much, he naturally wanted to give these two people time to spend alone together, and not to disturb them all the time. It was considered a wink.
Ziyan didn't know why Gu Qiang didn't follow, but she didn't want to think too much. She turned to Shen Qianshan and said, "Brother Ninth, let's go."
Shen Qianshan stood there, the wind lifted his robe, and his long hair was flying in the wind, but he had no expression. The fragrance around him made Ziyan like it very much, and she buried her head in Shen Qianshan In his arms, he sniffed hard, with a sweetness in his voice: "Brother Jiu, you smell so good."
As if he finally came to his senses, Shen Qianshan turned to look at Ziyan and said slowly: "I will allow you to leave the palace for a few days. You have been very tired by the Queen Mother these days. During this time, , you don’t have to come over.”
After saying that, he followed Gu Qiang and wanted to go to the main hall.
Zi Yan was stunned on the spot, and it took her a long time to realize that this seemed to be an attempt to drive her away. She had been serving the Queen Mother for so many days, during which he had never come over. Now that Gu Qiang was here, he actually wanted to Did he leave just to have a chance to be alone with Gu Qiang? Is Zi Yan that much of a hindrance
Zi Yan caught up with Shen Qianshan, grabbed his sleeve, and said unhappily: "Brother Jiu, tell Zi Yan the truth, have you fallen in love with her?"
Shen Qianshan paused and turned to look into Ziyan's eyes. He seemed to want to say something, but he still didn't say it. The aura exuding from his whole body made people feel very depressed. Ziyan knew that he said bingo.
Shen Qianshan has always been cold and ruthless. No one can make him nervous or embarrassed, and nothing can make him care. The aura on his body today clearly let Ziyan know that he treats Gu Qiang differently. When she was there, the atmosphere around him was different.
I couldn't tell whether it was sweet or not, after all, Zi Yan had never enjoyed any special treatment from Shen Qianshan.
Shen Qianshan's eyes were filled with unexplained light. After Ziyan bravely faced him, he didn't know how to react. He just quickly moved his eyes away, lowered his head and said, "Brother Ninth, if you like that girl?" It doesn’t matter if my sister is here, people’s hearts cannot be controlled, but you’d better think about her safety.”
I have never seen such a beautiful face. She is very gentle, her words are less childish than before, and her serious look is more charming than every moment before.
Shen Qianshan felt a little soft-hearted, but he knew that this was not a heartbeat.
"Why did you say that?" Shen Qianshan asked.
Ziyan smiled bitterly. This mature expression appeared on her face, and there was a sense of violation. Maybe she had really grown up, but Shen Qianshan had been escaping, not wanting to find that Ziyan had grown up long ago. For a woman.
"There are too many women who like Brother Ninth, but there is only one Brother Ninth. Even if everyone in the world knows that you are excellent but cannot take you as their own, how many people will not be willing to accept it?" Ziyan said.
She did not deny that she was the most unwilling one. If these women knew who Shen Qianshan's heart belonged to, how could they just let Gu Qiang go
Although you have to accept it in the end, the process is painful.
After a long silence, Shen Qianshan reached out and patted Ziyan's shoulder. A faint smile suddenly appeared on his stern face. Without saying anything, he turned around and left.
Ziyan stood there for a long time, until the sunlight disappeared from her body. She carefully observed her heart, and it seemed that every trace of pain in it made her hurt so much that even her breathing smelled like heartache.
Sure enough, many of the so-called letting gos are just words. When they actually do it, they are simply unbearable.
Gu Qiang stood at the door of the main hall, her white clothes flying in the wind. When she saw Shen Qianshan walking this way, she ducked back to the side hall.
He reached out and touched his chest. Although he knew clearly that eavesdropping on people's conversations behind their backs was not a glorious thing, he still did so.
"Miss Qiang, I wanted you to marry the third prince before, but you didn't agree. Now it seems that the one you like is not the Ninth Prince?"
A cold female voice came from behind Gu Qiang. At that moment, she just felt like her whole body was exploding, and she felt as if she had been caught and raped in bed.
Turning around, he saw the Queen Mother sitting on the chaise chair behind her, holding a teacup in her hand, blowing hot air, watching the tea leaves floating in the teacup, with a smile on her eyes, and even the corners of her mouth were filled with the words "discovered the secret" joy.
The Queen Mother is about fifty years old. Because she lives in the palace, she looks very young. She is even more beautiful than Ye. Not only does she have a strong aura, but every move she makes has a sense of majesty and dignity. Domineering, if you can see this kind of domineering in a woman, it can be regarded as a wink.
At this moment, the woman he saw in his dream suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. She also had the same domineering power, but Gu Qiang could not regard that woman as herself.
Probably because of his experience, he is far from that point now, but sooner or later he can become like that, it's just a matter of time.
Gu Qiang quickly knelt on the ground and said to the Queen Mother: "My daughter deserves to die."
The smile in the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes was still there, and she didn't seem to be unhappy with Gu Qiang's recklessness. Instead, she was very indifferent and said to her: "Since Qian'er is going to take care of me in this palace, there is no need to do so in the future." Duo Li, you are a smart girl and very popular with me."
Gu Qiang knelt on the ground and looked up at the Queen Mother, and met her eyes. Although she was seriously ill at this time, her face was ugly, her whole body was sallow, and her movements were even a little slow, but she was better than the palace. The poor people out there are much better off.
At this moment, Gu Qiang immediately thought of the refugees he had seen in the capital before, with their desperate eyes and skinny bodies.
When a person accepts that his life is about to come to an end, the despair in his eyes is incomparable. But the Queen Mother is different. She seems to have known that she can live for a long time. The whole person's spirit should not be too good, except that her body is better than before. Apart from being a little worse, my spirit is not good.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your compliment." Gu Qiang lowered her head and said respectfully.
The Queen Mother seemed to have stayed in this palace for a long time. She finally found an interesting girl to talk to. She cheered up and said to Gu Qiang: "If you like the Ninth Prince, just tell me. , I grant you a marriage."
Gu Qiang quickly shook her head. She knew that Shen Qianshan was good to her and always helped her when needed, but she also knew that Shen Qianshan was a short-lived ghost who never knew when he would be able to control the crane. If you go west and marry such a man, won't you have to enter the life of a widow early
Perhaps Gu Qiang's movements were too big. When Shen Qianshan walked in, his eyes flashed, but he still smiled lightly and said, "Does Qiang'er hate marrying this king so much?"
The Queen Mother smiled at the side and said, "Perhaps Qian'er is afraid that you won't be able to concentrate on me?"
Gu Qiang laughed dryly, and suddenly thought of the helplessness and expectation when Ziyan spoke to her. That girl really liked Shen Qianshan. Although she was just a little girl, Gu Qiang was moved by her persistence in feelings.
She didn't know how long it had been since she had any expectations for love, because for her, love was a luxury. It was already very difficult for her to try her best to live in this world full of traps. How could she expect herself to do so? What about getting a happy relationship
Gu Qiang lowered her head, as if she didn't want to meet Shen Qianshan's eyes. Those eyes contained too many things, were too heavy, and were very depressing just looking at them.
She didn't know why Shen Qianshan extended a helping hand to her many times. With his help, the journey seemed much smoother.
