Unexpectedly, Shen Guiye would talk to her. Qin Shen turned his head in surprise, "I said, aren't you interested in her?"
"No?" Shen Guiye raised his eyebrows.
"It's not impossible, it's just that the eldest girl of the Gu family is very defensive, and she doesn't seem to have a crush on you."
The performance of the two Gu sisters along the way fell into Qin Shen's eyes from beginning to end. The second girl who was born as a concubine wanted to stick her eyes to Prince Heng. The eldest girl who was born as a legitimate daughter had no reaction at first, but later learned their identities. Later, he actually showed a trace of disgust towards the beloved Prince Heng, which was really strange.
Obviously Shen Guiye also knew this, but he didn't take it to heart.
"What does it have to do with me?"
"It has nothing to do with you. This girl has already been engaged to be married to Prince Yongning." Qin Shen patted Shen Guiye on the shoulder, "You'd better give up. Even my mother thinks Qi Lang is a nice person." , If we hadn’t arranged the engagement early, maybe he would have become my brother-in-law, and the girl wouldn’t have chosen you even if she was blind.”
Originally he just said it casually, but after hearing Qin Shen's words, Shen Guiye felt a little uncomfortable.
Is it possible that he, a dignified prince, can't compare to a prince of a marquis family
"Want to take a gamble?"
"What are you betting on?" Qin Shen raised his eyebrows with interest.
"Let's bet on whether she would like to marry Qi Lang or be carried into the palace."
"Okay, what's the bet?"
"The 300,000-strong army in the northwest belongs to me. If I win, the Tiger Talisman will belong to me. If I lose, I will tell my father not to think about military power."
Qin Shen's face was solemn, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "Even if I give you the tiger talisman, I'm afraid no one will listen to you."
Shen Guiye smiled lightly, "This is my business."
"Okay, let's take the gamble." Grandfather holds military power in his hands. Even if he is loyal, the emperor will not believe it. Especially the imperial concubine's family has also gone to the northwest, bent on seizing power. Now it is time to choose a camp.
Among the princes, Prince Heng had the weakest power behind him, but he and his grandfather were the most optimistic candidates.
This bet was not important to Qin Shen. He just took the opportunity to express his attitude. As for whether Shen Guiye could get the eldest girl of the Gu family, he would wait and see.
Gu Mingyue has been absent-minded since she met Prince Heng. She didn't expect that she was so lucky, but Prince Heng didn't seem to pay attention to her, which made her a little disappointed.
Because she was worried about Prince Heng, Bai Yixin was perfunctory when talking to her. It wasn't until Bai Yixin offered to take her to Linshui Pavilion that she managed to cheer up.
Regardless of their status, those who could enter Linshui Pavilion were all famous talented women in Beijing. Gu Mingyue asked herself that her talents were not inferior to others, and she had lived a few years longer than these noble ladies, so how could she take them seriously.
Moreover, Princess Jingyang also invited two princes and many young masters to criticize next door. How could she miss such a good opportunity? After making up her mind, Gu Mingyue went over happily, but Gu Mingmou was never interested in these things and stayed outside alone.
Most people went to Linshui Pavilion to watch the excitement. Gu Mingmou felt more at ease with the absence of people in Zhuangzi. It happened that the people sent by Qin Shen had brought the horses and carriages back to Zhuangzi, and Xiuyue and Bai Zhi also came back with them. .
As Gu Mingyue's maid, Bai Zhi naturally went to find her master, while Xiuyue followed Gu Mingmou to serve him.
"Someone didn't have time to ask before, are you injured?" She found a pavilion to sit down, pointed to the opposite position, and signaled to Xiuyue.
"My slave is not injured, but she hit her head before. Does it still hurt now?" Xiuyue shook her head, obeying the rules and refused to sit with her.
Gu Mingmou didn't force her. He touched the place where she was hit before, and a big bump formed. Fortunately, it was hidden in her hair and couldn't be seen, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
"It doesn't hurt anymore. Just go back and put some medicine on it and it'll be fine."
While the master and servant were talking, they saw a young man wearing a purple silk jacket walking towards them. He stopped outside the pavilion and saluted Gu Mingmou, "Miss Gu, this is my master's request. The little one was sent here.”
"This is..." Seeing the box held by the young man, she felt confused. Apart from Qi Lang, there is no one else who would give her something for no reason, but this person's master is obviously not Qi Lang.
"It's a good medicine for wounds. You can feel free to use it, girl." Regardless of whether Gu Mingmou wanted to take it or not, the boy stuffed the things into Xiuyue's hand.
"This little brother, I wonder who your master is?"
"Master said, the girl will know about it in the future." After saying that,
He turned around and left without waiting for her to refuse.
Xiuyue opened the box at Gu Mingmou's signal. Inside was a white peony and a small white round-belly porcelain bottle. The porcelain bottle contained light green ointment. Once the lid was opened, a faint medicinal fragrance came out.
"Girl, this..."
Gu Mingmou looked at the contents inside and frowned, "Keep it for now and go back to find a doctor to take a look. This box will be destroyed after it goes out."
"Do you want to tell Madam?" There is an unknown person who is secretly paying attention to the lady, which makes Xiuyue always have such a chilling feeling.
"No need to tell mother yet."
"Yes." Xiuyue was still a little hesitant, but finally agreed.
Gu Mingmou was not as worried as she was. He knew that she had hit her head with only a few people. If it wasn't the Prince of Donglin County or some young master who was following him, it would definitely not be Prince Heng anyway.
No matter what the other party's plan is, it will be in vain as long as she doesn't cooperate.
This method is only suitable for dealing with a little girl who is not familiar with the world. She has long passed that age and does not have that much curiosity. If someone is willing to sing, she will just watch.
In Linfeng Pavilion, Gu Mingyue's song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" had just finished, and someone next door was already shouting "Hello" impatiently.
There was a faint blush on her face, but without any hint of pride, she quietly left the piano case and gave up her position to others.
After a while, the maid came in, holding a large tray with at least ten pink peonies on it.
Not seeing the white peony that I wanted, I no longer felt the joy I had before, but instead felt anxious.
She really couldn't understand that she was playing Prince Heng's favorite piece, and she had worked hard to practice it. He was full of praises in her previous life, but now she didn't even react
It was the same before, everything was planned in advance, but Prince Heng didn't cooperate at all. Was it because he didn't know, or because he looked down upon his status as a concubine
Yes, now she is just a concubine, and her father is only a fourth grade, so how can she be worthy of being a prince? Besides, she doesn't have those glazed eyes that can attract his full attention. For your own future, maybe you need to plan ahead.
The only thing she was thankful for was that Prince Heng didn't seem to have a crush on Gu Mingmou, which made her feel a little at ease.
