Prime Minister Gu froze in place for a long time. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out why the third prince insisted on marrying Gu Qiang.
He stubbornly believed that the third prince just liked Gu Qiang.
He likes this kind of feeling. He was once young, and he also knows that it is a kind of feeling that he will not simply deal with.
And he saw a hint of maturity and wit in Gu Qiang, and she had indeed changed.
He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. He was happy that Gu Qiang could change now, which was very gratifying for him.
Sadly, the more powerful Gu Qiang becomes, the more incompetent he becomes.
It was because he, as a father, did not make Gu Qiang feel warm and safe that Gu Qiang became so powerful. This was not a good thing.
Who wants to admit that he is incompetent
Back in the courtyard, Gu Suliang finally couldn't help but asked: "Girl, since Gu Zhihua likes Shen Zhongbai a lot, why do you want to help her get her wish?"
The relationship between Gu Qiang and Gu Zhihua was incompatible, but now Gu Qiang wants to help her marry Shen Zhongbai as she wishes. This is so strange.
The yard was very cool, and there were rows of ropes beside the trees for drying clothes. After Gu Qiang smoothed the clothes, she turned her head and a smile spread on her face.
Gusu Liang hadn't seen Gu Qiang smile like this for a long time. During this time, she was burdened with all kinds of things, and Gusu Liang couldn't help but laugh too.
"Do you think Shen Zhongbai is a good thing? Even if a man doesn't like a woman, he won't cherish it even if he marries her. The life after marrying Shen Zhongbai will be hell." After saying that, she clapped her palms. There were water drops on it and it was very humid.
Gu Suliang stood in the yard for a long time before she realized why Gu Qiang said as if she had lived with Shen Zhongbai? This girl is very young and has become so mature that it makes people feel distressed.
On the eighth day of November, Gu Zhihua was sitting in his boudoir. His eyes were as swollen as peaches. No matter how much makeup he put on, he could not hide his ugly face.
Mr. Ye sat on the chair next to him, looking coldly at Gu Zhihua's crying look, and finally couldn't help shouting: "Okay, why are you crying? Isn't this exactly what you want now? Marrying that Shen Zhongbai is not something you have dreamed about before, but now you are unhappy, what do you want your mother to do?"
A few days ago, Shen Zhongbai came over to meet her, but now it seems that he just came to see Gu Qiang.
A few days ago, she stopped Shen Zhongbai in the street and said that she liked Shen Zhongbai, but she didn't expect that Shen Zhongbai didn't leave any face to Gu Zhihua and bluntly said that he didn't like her and that he liked Gu Qiang.
Gu Zhihua was furious on the spot. Without thinking, he rushed to the lotus pond nearby and jumped in. Shen Zhongbai seemed to have known that this woman would do this, and didn't care at all. Standing by and watching, even with a smile on his face, Gu Huai, who was passing by, finally jumped into the water and rescued his own sister.
Every time she thought of this, Ye's wife seemed to be blocked by something and felt very uncomfortable. Gu Zhihua was her most proud daughter. She originally wanted to train her well and let her marry a relative of the emperor.
Now that her wish has been fulfilled, she is not happy. Shen Zhongbai likes Gu Qiang, and even if Gu Zhihua marries her, she will only be Gu Qiang's shadow.
After thinking this way, Ye became even more irritable. Seeing Gu Zhihua still crying next to him, an unknown evil fire suddenly came up.
Gu Zhihua didn't seem to care about these things at all, and just said: "My mother is now blaming Zhihua for these things? Who gave Zhihua the idea in the first place? How could my mother care about Zhihua at that time? "
Ye's face was livid. Is this what a child should say? Doesn't she know how much she has paid for her? It was a lifetime of wisdom, and the result was indeed not good, but it also took all her hard work!
"As you wish!" Mrs. Ye stood up in a hurry and wanted to go out. Gu Zhihua was going to marry Shen Zhongbai today, but she didn't want to have a banquet. Even someone from Shen Zhongbai's side said that their sedan would go astray. After entering the door, the dignified young lady of the Gu family ended up in such an end. Thinking about it, it was all too ironic, and made Ye feel that this was the failure of her life.
Gu Zhihua stretched out his hand to hold Ye, but she didn't want her to be firm. When she reached the door, Ye turned her head coldly: "Now that the overall situation has been decided, you should be your prince's concubine. No matter what happens, don’t look for me again, do you hear me?”
Gu Zhihua gritted his silver teeth, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He pushed away the old woman who was washing him next to him. The old woman suddenly stopped and fell to the ground. The wedding dress and jewelry on the table were taken away by the old woman. They all scattered and scattered all over the ground.
The clattering sound stunned Ye. These were valuable treasures. She was indifferent to Gu Zhihua on the face, but she also cared about her in her heart. After all, she was her only daughter. How could she not wish her well
Even if she is Shen Zhongbai's partial concubine, she still hopes that she can be in a good position, and she should have every bit of it. It doesn't matter if she feels unhappy, after all, it is the flesh that fell from her own body.
She rushed forward and grabbed Ye's hand, tears bursting from her eyes, and she said in tears: "Mother, if you don't want Zhihua, Zhihua will definitely be bullied to death."
Ye turned her head. Gu Zhihua no longer cared about so much. He wiped away his tears with his hands, but he didn't realize that the makeup on his face was already messy. The mother-in-law struggled up from the ground and looked at Gu Zhihua's face. Her face suddenly took a breath of cold air. It looked like she was going to put on makeup again.
Ye couldn't bear it, and finally sat back down, holding Gu Zhihua's hand with both hands. Her hands were cold, and her whole body was still twitching, and she kept wiping tears.
"Zhihua, let's go today. We will deal with the rest later. We have plenty of time. Don't panic. Mother is here." Ye reached out and patted Gu Zhihua's back to express comfort.
That night, several exquisite sedans were lined up in a row on the street in front of the house. Every sedan looked like it was not an ordinary person.
The boy looked at the side door. It was clearly the lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion who was passing through, but there was no decoration at the front door. There was just a small happy word posted on the door of the side door. The boy immediately felt that this lady was very sad.
The people passing by stretched their necks and looked inside, but they only saw a long corridor. The guards on both sides of the corridor showed no reaction at all.
"Didn't I say that today the third prince is marrying a lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why is there no joy at all in this prince's manor?" Two commoners stood in the corner, the vegetables in their hands were very fresh, and they were eating melon seeds with each other. said in a low voice.
"That's not because the third prince doesn't like the Miss Gu family. It is said that he likes the sister of the passing lady. The eldest daughter of the Gu family is now the Princess of Luoping." Another commoner said, and the two people also said The boy who wanted to continue talking but didn't want to watch the door glanced here. The two common people took their things and left in a hurry. Before leaving, they both exchanged glances. From the look in each other's eyes, Everyone could see how miserable the third prince's concubine was in the rest of her life.
In the back garden of the Prince's Mansion, several tables were neatly arranged, and people were already sitting in front of them. People from the Gu family had arrived a long time ago. Prime Minister Gu lowered his head, and the wine glass in his hand moved back and forth, but there was no reaction on his face. , just kept breathing heavily, as if he didn't have enough air.
Mrs. Ye and the old lady sat on both sides of Prime Minister Gu. The old lady coughed hard first, her face turned red from suppressing it. The old woman next to her looked at her and gently stroked her back, waiting for her to say this. After spitting out a mouthful of yellow phlegm, I felt relieved.
Gu Qiang sat next to her and rolled her eyes away, feeling convinced that the all-powerful old lady would die soon.
"Don't be angry. As a concubine, that girl Zhihua is lucky to be able to marry the prince." The old lady wiped the stain at the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and turned to look at Prime Minister Gu calmly.
Before Prime Minister Gu could say anything, Mrs. Ye next to her couldn't listen anymore. Why did the old lady keep talking about her legitimate daughters and concubines? After all, they were all her granddaughters, weren't they
"Grandma, what are you talking about? My sister has always been deeply loved in the house. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If not..." Gu Huaihuai said coldly, turning to look at Gu in the middle of the sentence. Qiang, if it weren't for her, Gu Zhihua would definitely have become Shen Zhongbai's first wife. It's this hateful woman.
Everyone said nothing and turned to look at Gu Qiang.
But she seemed not to hear, and looked quietly into the distance, which was the road from the main hall to the back garden. At this time, Princess Changning and Shen Qianshan walked over slowly, seeming to be talking about something, with a look on their faces. With a faint smile.
Today, Shen Qianshan was wearing white clothes. The material was very familiar to Gu Qiang. Even when she saw his clothes, it was as if his scent was already surrounding her nose. She was very familiar with that smell and had also done it before. I cared about it, and even fell into it at a certain moment.
Shen Qianshan didn't seem to see Gu Qiang. The corners of her mouth raised, thinking of the affectionate kiss there that day. In a daze, she felt that it was full of sweetness.
The old lady wanted to make a mockery of Gu Huaihuai, but she didn't expect two big shots to come. She immediately swallowed the words on her lips, got up and led everyone in the Gu family to salute Princess Changning and Shen Qianshan.
Princess Changning was wearing a goose-yellow robe today, embroidered with phoenix flowers, and a gorgeous headdress on her head. Her whole body was so sparkling that people couldn't take their eyes away.
She waved her hand and said in a clear and natural voice: "Today is a good day for the emperor's brother. Please feel free to do so. No need to be polite."
Although she said this, her aura was so strong that no one dared to talk to her after she sat there.
