This is Mrs. Zhang's business. In the past, this Mrs. Ye relied on the Ye family to dominate and was very rude to the people in the yard. Now that Gu Qiang is so successful, she is even embarrassed to come in.
When Gu Qiang took Ting Feng Chui Xue to the main hall, sure enough, the road was blocked by crowds of people and carriages coming and going in the front yard.
In the banquet hall, many people from the palace came. Compared with the Autumn Harvest Banquet, this occasion was countless times grander. Although the ladies and ladies from various families came and went a lot on weekdays, today it was really a feast. Eye.
Sitting in the front seat was Shen Zhongbai, followed by Princess Changning, and Princess Ziyan, who had not appeared for a long time, also came with her. These three people were all extremely favored by the Queen Mother, and they chatted together. , the voice was not loud, but none of the people sitting below dared to speak out.
When Gu Qiang arrived, there were already a lot of people sitting at the banquet around her. Everyone was extremely curious about the princess whom the emperor personally named, and they all stretched their necks to see what was so special about her.
These ladies and ladies have all heard of Gu Qiang's name before. Although she is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is submissive and has always been dominated by Gu Zhihua in the manor. When we meet today, this girl has a strong aura. Her eyes are bright and lively, she is very chic, beautiful, and generous.
Gu Qiang took two steps forward and greeted several people at the front seat, but she didn't expect that Princess Changning, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, was the first to speak.
"Since you are already the princess, you don't need to be polite with us." Princess Changning said, taking an exquisite mahogany box from the hands of the palace maid, and handed the box to Gu Qiang: "This is for you Gift."
Gu Qiang took it and bowed and thanked her. Shen Zhongbai who was on the side took over and said, "Sister Huang, it's not good for you to do this. You prepared the gift in advance without notifying your brother. This caused your brother to not prepare anything."
Princess Changning smiled lightly, like an elegant peony, and said: "Young Master, your relationship with Qian'er still requires giving gifts? You must have already congratulated her in private, right?"
This was completely non-existent. Gu Qiang just wanted to explain, but Shen Zhongbai looked so shy and lowered his head that he acquiesced
Gu Qiang was stunned there and had not spoken yet. Princess Ziyan, whom she had just met not long ago, said: "Brother Ninth has something to do today and cannot come. Let me, the princess, congratulate Sister Qiang on his behalf."
Shen Qianshan can't come? Gu Qiang's heart twitched for no reason. After he sent her to the Queen Mother's palace that day, he left and never saw her again.
"Yes, thank you Ninth Prince for me." Gu Qiang said with a smile. What she didn't know was how difficult the expression on her face was.
Gu Suliang came up from behind and leaned into Gu Qiang's ear and said, "Master Gu is here. He is at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Mr. Ye and his people stopped him outside, saying that he was not allowed to come in."
The air around him suddenly became colder, and Gu Suliang shivered violently. He turned around and saw Gu Qiang's face looking extremely ugly, and then walked towards the door.
At the main entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the black door was solemn and solemn. Madam Ye stood at the door, folding her arms and looking coldly at Gu Huaian. At this time, Gu Huaian was sitting on a tall horse, with an exquisite carriage behind him. Who was sitting in it? , very quiet.
Seeing Gu Qiang coming out, Gu Huaian quickly got off his horse, walked up to her with a smile and said, "Congratulations Qian'er, you make my brother so proud."
When Gu Qiang raised her eyes to meet Gu Huai'an's face, she was also very happy: "Brother, since you are here, why are you still standing at the door? Wouldn't you be hurting my sister?"
How could Gu Huai'an not know that his sister was putting on a show for Mrs. Ye? Naturally, he couldn't let go of this opportunity and quickly said: "It's not that your wife of the Gu family said that I am no longer a member of the Gu family and am not qualified to come in. I think After thinking about it, it’s true what others said.”
Gu Qiang grabbed Gu Huaian's arm in surprise, stretched out her head from in front of him, looked at Ye and asked, "Did mother really say that?"
Ye's face turned pale at that moment. The brother and sister sang the double recital quite well. She was watching in a daze from the side, but at this time Gu Qiang came out, and she didn't know what to say, so she said : "Before, it was Huai'an that you tried to break away from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now Qian'er has become the princess. If you want to come over and get a share of the pie, it will be hard to hear if word gets out. Mother, this is for your own good."
At first, Gu Huaian had no interest in officialdom, but he was very fond of medicinal materials and medicine. Prime Minister Gu had always hoped that he could succeed him as prime minister, but he did not want him to disappoint Prime Minister Gu. The two of them broke up, and Gu Huaian moved Got out.
"Madam, my brother just came here to congratulate me and didn't get anything from me. Today is a big day. How can you speak to my brother like this?" Gu Qiang looked at Mr. Ye coldly. How powerful was he? Very scary.
Before Ye said anything, Gu Qiang continued: "Since Madam thinks that my brother is no longer a member of the Gu family, then please take back the attempt by Jiang Min and you to marry Song Yun to my brother. There is so much in this world. There are not so many good things waiting for Madam.”
There were people coming and going around, and there were countless people attending the banquet. Mrs. Ye was extremely embarrassed by Gu Qiang's cold attitude. The ladies and ladies wanted to see what was going on, but they were too embarrassed to stay.
"Qian'er, are you talking to this lady like this now that you are the princess? After all, I treat you as my own child, but why do you make it difficult for me to step down in public?"
Treat it as your own? This is the funniest joke Gu Qiang has heard in so many years.
"Madam, this princess is just talking about the matter. You can't prevent my brother from admitting that he is a member of the Gu family, and at the same time let him marry Song Yun to shoulder the responsibilities of being a member of the Gu family. In my opinion, this child Gu Huaihuai is smart. It is not impossible for him to take a concubine. From this point of view, Zhihua is the concubine of the third prince, so he should let Huaihuai take a concubine, which is a balance in his heart." Gu Qiang said.
Gu Huaian was already ready to leave. After hearing what his sister said, he couldn't believe his ears. Is this the same girl from before who always surrounded Ye and Gu Zhihua? Are you still the girl who doesn't understand anything and can't listen to good words at all
She was so smart that Gu Huaian was shocked, but more of a surprise.
The muscles on Ye's face were twitching in anger, as if he was about to explode, but he still suppressed his temper and said to Gu Qiang: "We will discuss Song Yun's matter later. After all, Jiang Min is still your relative." Auntie, you always have to give me this face."
So what, a woman like Jiang Min is not a good thing at all, and the important people around her can't get involved with such people. As for the children of the Ye family, she doesn't care about whomever they do or how they do it.
"Go in first. If the master sees it, won't he get angry?" Ye walked past Gu Qiang and Gu Huaian and said in a low voice. Then he immediately raised his head and put on a kind smile. Greet those around you warmly.
Gu Qiang smiled, and Gu Huaian held her hand, waved the other hand, and the exquisite carriage drove in. He said, "I heard that you are already the princess? My Qian'er is indeed different. These things are all gifts prepared for you, brother. Since our identities are different, we must not lose the occasion."
Gu Qiang turned her head and saw the carriage approaching. Through the window, Gu Qiang could see silks, jewelry boxes, and various things piled everywhere.
Her nose felt sore. She thought she was like the moon in the sky, looking bright and beautiful, but she was the only one struggling alone, for herself and the future, but she didn't want to have someone who always cared about her life, hoping that she could To make her life more comfortable, she secretly made up her mind that no matter what this time, she would save her brother who thought of her wholeheartedly.
"Brother, no matter what, you must protect yourself. Don't..." Gu Qiang's words came to her lips, but she still swallowed them. She didn't want Gu Huaian to know anything about her life.
That's not what he should know. The wheel of life moves forward bravely, and no one should have the privilege.
After welcoming Gu Huai'an into the banquet, the smile on Prime Minister Gu's face disappeared immediately. How could he not recognize the man in front of him? It was his expectation and the continuation of life, but it was not the same as his expectation. Going in the opposite direction made him lose face in front of everyone in the capital.
Now that he appears here, even the scenery around him has become very gray.
Prime Minister Gu slowly raised his tea cup, then covered his face and glanced at Ye, who had an equally ugly expression next to him.
Ye's heart moved. Although she was very scared, she still walked up to Prime Minister Gu and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter, Prime Minister?"
Prime Minister Gu was upset and dropped the teacup in his hand heavily on the table. The tea leaves in the teacup floated up and down, and finally settled down.
"Why did Gu Huai'an come back? Didn't he say that he had severed ties with my Gu family before? Are you afraid that he suddenly showed up now to demonstrate against me?" Prime Minister Gu's beard was raised, and his eyes were dim, as if he could rush out at any time. Give Gu Huaian a severe lesson.
Mrs. Ye was very happy when she arrived, and quickly came over and said flatteringly: "Prime Minister, you don't know, originally the slave family had tried to stop Gu Huaian, but Gu Qiang appeared in the middle, and you also know that Qian'er Today’s identity…”
"That's unreasonable! Could it be that since you have become the princess today, you will not take my father's words to heart?" Prime Minister Gu slapped the table and spilled a lot of tea on the table. Princess Changning and Princess Changning were sitting next to her. Shen Zhongbai turned to look at Prime Minister Gu, his face expressionless, but he already understood in his heart.
Prime Minister Gu stood up and rushed in front of Gu Qiang and Gu Huaian, staring at Gu Huaian with a cold face, as if he was trying to force Gu Huaian to face him with his cold aura.
Gu Qiang turned her head, met Prime Minister Gu's eyes, stood up, straightened her clothes, and said: "Father, this is the brother I invited here specifically to congratulate you. Do you know him?"
Prime Minister Gu and Gu Huaian both looked at Gu Qiang strangely, as if they couldn't understand why Gu Qiang did this. How could they not recognize her? They were father and son. It was very awkward to meet today. I thought that one person would show up to help the two of them, but I didn't expect that Gu Qiang would not do that.
