Although it was not good to talk about this matter in front of Shen Zhongbai and Prime Minister Gu, Ye Shi couldn't control that much anymore. In front of so many people today, she couldn't let Gu Zhihua lose face again.
Gu Qiang stood there, as if she didn't hear Ye's words at all.
Because of her status as the princess, she naturally did not need to salute the third prince. Just when she was about to say hello to him, she saw that he was like a hungry wolf pouncing on his prey. She rushed towards Gu Qiang and wanted to hug him. The expression is as intimate as that of a person in love.
Gu Qiang dodged and stared at Shen Zhongbai's face. The latter gave her a look, wanting her to give him some face, but he didn't want her to shake her head. Shen Zhongbai couldn't give face to him, so if he gave it, he would face it.
The third prince turned around and smiled, and said to Prime Minister Gu and Mrs. Ye: "I will go to my brother to discuss the matter between Qian'er and me right away. You two don't have to worry."
Prime Minister Gu turned to look at Gu Zhihua. The latter was like a wounded little animal, huddled behind Ye, looking straight at the third prince. At this time, every word he said was like a knife. The same thing was engraved in her heart. She was unhappy and angry, but she couldn't do anything.
Does Gu Chengji care about this daughter? He has many children. Except for Gu Qiang, his legitimate daughter, all the remaining children should actually receive the same treatment. However, Gu Zhihua and Gu Huaihuai are different because they have a A capable mother.
But as time went by, Prime Minister Gu seemed to know that he no longer had the ability to ignore this girl and turn a blind eye, because this girl was the one who always made him embarrassed and always did things that made people embarrassed. Unpleasant things.
If Prime Minister Gu could still tolerate it because of Ye, then now he felt that he should really send this girl away. From now on, no matter what he does in her husband's house, it has nothing to do with his Gu family.
But Gu Qiang cannot do that. She is the legitimate daughter of the Gu family and the princess of Luoping County. She has too many things that make her valuable, so she must be protected.
"What did the third prince say? Why can't Qian'er understand? The marriage is not your decision. Now that I am the princess, the marriage is also decided by the emperor and the Queen Mother. Of course, Qian'er still hopes that she can be her own. Make the decision about the marriage.”
Gu Qiang stood in front of Shen Zhongbai. He used to be so obsessed with this face, but now he no longer felt that way. Even his casual movements made Gu Qiang sick.
Shen Zhongbai pulled Gu Qiang over, his movements were very forceful, but he was still pushed away by Gu Qiang. At the same time, Gusu Liang also stepped forward and stood between Shen Zhongbai and Gu Qiang, not allowing him to make any further movements.
Shen Zhongbai stretched out his hand to pull Gusu Liang away, but he didn't expect that this little maid was surprisingly strong.
He, a man, didn't push her.
"How presumptuous, you, a little maid, want to rebel against me?" Shen Zhongbai shouted loudly, after all, Gusu Liang was very embarrassed by doing this.
Gusu Liang did not retreat, and was even more determined than before.
Could it be that he wanted to force the marriage in front of so many people
No wonder Gu Zhihua wanted to kill herself. For her, this was more than just embarrassing.
Prime Minister Gu took two steps forward and then said: "Third Prince, this is inappropriate. You must know that my family is also a person who has contributed to this country. Your concubine is a reward for her." , do you think the reward can still be taken back? I have been the prime minister in the court for many years, and I cannot accept this kind of shame and humiliation."
After saying that, Prime Minister Gu stared at Shen Zhongbai. The time when he had allowed himself to follow his temper had passed. He had been tolerant and accommodating again and again. There was nothing wrong with him being a prince, but he could not cover the sky with one hand. In comparison, of course It is the prime minister who plays a greater role.
Shen Zhongbai was stunned. He didn't expect that this man who was usually submissive to him could actually talk to him with such confidence today. Sure enough, today is different from the past. Could it be that Prime Minister Gu thought that his daughter had some abilities and could let him follow her? A great success
I thought it was beautiful, but the reality is far from as beautiful as imagined.
Although Prime Minister Gu is not a relative of the emperor, it is not easy to reach this point, which shows that the strength behind him cannot be underestimated. If not for this, Shen Zhongbai would have tried every means to try to join forces with Gu Qiang. relative.
He must get the support of the Gu family, but he doesn't like Gu Zhihua, and of course he doesn't necessarily like Gu Qiang that much. But in comparison, he would rather choose Gu Qiang.
Shen Zhongbai's aura is powerful, it comes from the aura of the royal family, it is something that ordinary people do not have innately.
He turned his head, and Gu Zhihua was still huddled behind his mother. Today, her makeup was exquisite, but it was already in a mess. That was the state she was in after she fell into the water. Shen Zhongbai pretended not to see it.
"Prime Minister Gu, I understand what you mean. Na Zhihua has indeed done some useful things for the country and should be rewarded, but marrying her to me is punishment. Why should I bear this punishment?" Shen Zhongbai asked. Said to Prime Minister Gu.
Obviously, things have reached a fever pitch, and the two families are completely at odds.
Prime Minister Gu was so angry that the beard flying from his mouth was flying. If the person opposite him didn't have such a high status, he would definitely have to educate him well.
There is nothing wrong with being young and frivolous, but you cannot be ungrateful either.
Gu Qiang stood beside her, waved her hand, and her aura instantly rose. She was just a girl, but her current appearance made it clear to both Prime Minister Gu and Shen Zhongbai that she was no longer the little girl she was before. If anyone dared to Look at her, the consequences are disastrous.
"Zhi Hua and Madam, please go back. We need a place to talk about this matter." Gu Qiang said.
How could Gu Zhihua accept it? He rushed up and said to Gu Qiang: "Impossible, I can't give you a chance to get close to the third prince again. Your methods are too clever."
Her eyes were scarlet and her mouth was grinning widely, as if she wanted to eat Gu Qiang. When she got close, Gu Qiang found that her hair was still dripping.
Gu Suliang stepped forward and pulled Gu Zhihua over, while staring at Ye. Gu Zhihua didn't understand anything, but Ye wouldn't be that stupid.
As expected, Mrs. Ye coaxed Gu Zhihua and said, "Zhihua, let's go first. Your sister and father will handle the matter here."
Just two steps out, Gu Qiang said from behind: "Remember, if you are so disrespectful next time, I will make you look good and I will never give you another chance."
Gu Zhihua didn't seem to hear her. Her world was all dark. From the moment Shen Zhongbai didn't want to marry her, she seemed to have lost her mind. Why did she care about the threat
But Ye heard it clearly. She turned her head and smiled at Gu Qiang, the curve of her mouth was scary.
After a few people left, Gu Qiang said straight to the point: "Third Prince, just pretend that today's incident has never happened. The marriage is a matter of mutual consent between you and me. Besides, Qian'er already has a sweetheart. The Third Prince can sincerely agree with you." It's good to bless us, but it doesn't matter if you can't do that, as long as you don't say these embarrassing things anymore."
Shen Zhongbai and Gu Chengtong looked at Gu Qiang at the same time. Did she say that she already had a sweetheart? Wouldn’t that mean you’re going to get married soon? There is no such thing as love in a eldest girl's family. If you like it, get married as soon as possible, otherwise you will regret it later, which will be a lot of trouble.
Shen Zhongbai's face was ugly, but fortunately he was not a man who had never seen the world. After calming down for a while, he asked: "Who is that man? Can you, Qian'er, give up a big tree like me and go to him?"
"The Third Prince doesn't need to know this person. We have never been friends, and there is no need to say it so clearly. As for the matter between you and my sister, it is said that a gentleman's words are hard to follow. Qian'er wants this marriage, you Don't suffer any loss." Gu Qiang raised his eyes. There was still some distance between her height and the third prince. When she spoke, her eyes were firm and clear, and there seemed to be no flaws. He understood that she was using the emperor's imperial edict to suppress him.
What is the emperor? Sooner or later, that position will belong to him, Shen Zhongbai. He likes beauties, and he especially likes women with ridiculously high IQs. But what he likes even more is the feeling that everyone bows to him and gets whatever he wants. Couldn't be more comfortable.
He dreamed of sitting in that position. If Gu Qiang was by his side to help him, everything would be easy.
If it were Gu Zhihua's IQ, he could only rely on himself for everything. Although Gu Qiang acted like a retard in front of him before, but after careful observation these days, how could he not know that this woman It's just a wise person and a foolish person, all just pretending.
"With that said, I seem to have no reason to refuse. Well, the eighth day of November is a good day. Just send Gu Zhihua here." Shen Zhongbai seemed to have no patience, so he turned around and left.
Prime Minister Gu and Gu Qiang were the only ones left in this huge garden.
After a long time, Prime Minister Gu said: "Qian'er, why don't you want to marry the third prince? With your status, in the past, you were the prince's concubine, with wealth and wealth, fine clothes and food, plus his love for you, after that The road ahead is long.”
A long way to go? I'm afraid Prime Minister Gu has become confused as he gets older. Is he more concerned about the marriage in front of him or Gu Qiang's happiness in the future? If it's just the marriage in front of him, then Gu Qiang's happiness can probably only be fought for by himself.
What's more, she had already agreed to be with Shen Qianshan, and she owed him, and this man could indeed be trusted. As for the incident involving the short-lived ghost, Gu Qiang believed that she could only change it on her own.
"Father, you are old, how come you don't know how to take a long-term view? You haven't seen what the third prince is looking for, right? Marrying him will be of great benefit to him, and there will be no harm to him. We, that's not the case, we should make preparations and let Zhihua marry her, after all, she really likes the third prince." After Gu Qiang finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and turned around and left gracefully.
