Is this considered taking out anger on others? He's not in a good mood, so he shouldn't take it out on her!
Ye Qinglan raised her delicate brows and asked with a half-smile: "What does cousin Gu mean by saying this? Are you blaming me? You saw what happened just now. Even with you here, it took a lot of effort. He won't leave until you have to talk. How can I, an insignificant girl, deal with him?"
Gu Xinian twitched the corners of his lips, and a sarcastic smile appeared in his eyes: "Cousin Lan is really too modest."
With her sharp tongue, it was not difficult to send Shen Changan away. But she didn't do that, and instead allowed Shen Changan to stay. I don't know what she had in mind...
Wait, could it be that she has fallen in love with that vulgar martial artist Shen Changan?
Gu Xinian narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Ye Qinglan.
No matter how smart Ye Qinglan is, there is no way she can guess what is in Gu Xinian's mind at this moment. She responded calmly: "That's the truth. If cousin Gu doesn't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it." I have to admit that Gu Xinian didn't believe it. Nian is indeed a difficult master to fool.
Just now, she did have many ways to send Shen Changan away. But she didn't do anything. Instead, she allowed Shen Changan to stay. Firstly, she wanted to observe Shen Changan's character up close, and secondly, she wanted to test Gu Xiyu. What is the reaction? Maybe, Gu Xiyu and Shen Changan will have this fate in this life!
Unexpectedly, Gu Xinian realized so quickly that she was deliberately "letting go"...
What Gu Xiyu fears most is the dispute between Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan. One is her most beloved brother, and the other is her closest sister. No matter which one is hurt, she will feel sad. Seeing Gu Xinian open his mouth to speak again, Gu Xiyu hurriedly interrupted: "Brother, I'm fine, don't be angry."
Gu Xinian glanced at Gu Xiyu, whose face was full of panic, and his heart suddenly softened, and he stopped saying anything. After a while, he sat down on the empty chair, which was the chair Shen Changan had just sat on. He happened to sit next to Ye Qinglan.
…
Ye Qinglan sat upright. She didn't look sideways and made up her mind to pretend that the man beside her didn't exist.
It's a pity that Gu Xinian is never the kind of person who is ignored by others.
After the song and dance, the next performer was the concubine in the palace. The concubine played a good pipa, and her fingering skills were extremely familiar. Everyone's attention was attracted, and Gu Xiyu was no exception. She listened very well. Focus.
Gu Xinian took advantage of this moment and lowered his voice and said, "Shen Chang'an is not a good person. Don't try to meddle with him."
Ye Qinglan was stunned for a rare moment, and then gave him a dumbfounded look: "Thank you for reminding me." Where is this? His eyes saw that she was interested in Shen Changan? It's so ridiculous and ridiculous!
However, Gu Xinian misunderstood her tone and whispered slightly unhappily: "I am reminding you with good intentions."
Ye Qinglan rolled her eyes in her heart and replied impatiently: "I'm not a child anymore. I know very well what I should and shouldn't do."
Gu Xinian choked and felt an inexplicable anger in his heart. He snorted lightly and didn't bother to speak anymore.
The ears are indeed much cleaner.
Ye Qinglan concentrated on admiring the performance of the palace-dressed woman playing the pipa, and secretly sighed in her heart. No wonder the rich ladies from the aristocratic families have tried their best to learn a skill. It would be a big deal to show off her skills on such an occasion. Out of the limelight.
There were many talented concubines in the palace. One would play the pipa, another would perform a dance, and some would play the harp, paint, and sing poems to add to the fun. It was simply a live party.
Ye Qinglan watched with gusto and discussed the performance of everyone in the audience with Gu Xiyu in a low voice. Gu Xiyu was indeed interested too. She smiled softly with Ye Qinglan and unconsciously ignored Gu Xinian.
Gu Xinian would never admit that he was having trouble at this moment. With Ye Qinglan here, his status as an elder brother has dropped sharply. With him or without him, Yu'er doesn't matter.
And Ye Qinglan, in front of him, was always sharp and irritating, but when she was facing Yu'er, she was so gentle...
Wait, where did this strange idea come from?
Gu Xinian frowned and shook away the strange thoughts that flashed through his mind.
At this moment, a gentle and gentle woman's voice sounded with a smile: "Mr. Gu, the Queen has invited you to come over and speak." The person who came was the daughter-in-law of Queen Gu.
Gu Xinian responded with a faint smile.
The wife-in-law couldn't help but take another look at Gu Xinian. For such a handsome and handsome man, he refused to get married. It was a waste of natural resources.
When Gu Xiyu saw Gu Xinian getting up to leave, she couldn't help but ask: "Brother, where are you going?"
Gu Xinian smiled reassuringly: "My aunt asked me to come over and talk. You can watch the talent show here without any worries. I'll be back as soon as I go."
Gu Xiyu nodded obediently.
Gu Xinian was still worried, and was about to give Ye Qinglan a few words. Ye Qinglan had already rushed to say: "Cousin Gu, please don't worry, let alone a man, even if it is a fly, I will never let it get close to cousin Xiyu.
Half a step."
Gu Xinian choked, snorted and walked away.
Ye Qinglan got back the game, was in a much happier mood, and continued to enjoy the talent show. But within a moment, she noticed that there were several eyes that seemed to be looking at her.
Who is it?
Ye Qinglan glanced around calmly, and soon found the target person. The one sitting next to the prince, beautiful and elegant, was Shen Qiuyu. The other one looking at her was Luo sitting next to the third prince.
Wonderful sound.
It's strange that the two of them don't look at Gu Xinian. What do they want to do with themselves?
Ye Qinglan thought to herself, but did not reveal anything on her face. It must be because Gu Xinian was sitting with her just now, so Shen Qiuyu and Luo Miaoyin noticed her!
Of these two women, one is an unforgettable former lover that Gu Xinian once deeply loved and hated for unknown reasons, and the other is Gu Xinian’s wife from a previous life. They are inextricably linked to each other.
Emotional entanglement. Obviously, they have not completely forgotten Gu Xinian. Gu Xinian’s peach blossoms are indeed very strong!
However, all this has nothing to do with her. She is just a passerby who likes to watch the excitement in her free time. She is not in the mood to get involved in this mess.
Gu Xinian followed his concubine-in-law and walked to Queen Gu. The emperor only stayed for a while and then went to deal with court affairs. Therefore, Queen Gu sat alone on the high phoenix chair, which was quite chilly at the high place.
feeling.
Empress Gu smiled and asked the palace maid to bring the brocade, and Gu Xinian sat down next to Empress Gu. Although she was a little shorter, she looked very intimate. In addition, the noisy musical instruments in the venue were covering up her words, so she did not worry about being distracted by others.
hear.
"Aunt, what's wrong with you calling me here?" Gu Xinian knew exactly what Empress Gu wanted to say when she called him here, but he pretended to be stupid and asked in a daze.
Queen Gu did not beat around the bush and said with a smile: "I just mentioned it to the emperor. Nowadays, affairs in the court are busy, and the six departments are short of manpower. It would be great if you can relieve the emperor's worries. In the six departments, you
Which one you like to go to, just tell me."
Gu Xinian smiled faintly: "Thank you, aunt, for being considerate of your nephew. It's just that I am lazy by nature and am not suitable for being an official in the court. Please take back this kindness!" The words were polite and polite, but the meaning of rejection was very clear.
.
Empress Gu raised her eyebrows and said slightly unhappily: "How long will you continue to be willful, my child? Your grandfather is old and will retire in a year or two at most. Your second uncle is not in the capital, and only your father is in court.
How can I support the reputation of Duke Dingguo's palace? Now that I can still speak in front of the emperor, I must find a good future for you."
These words are really high-sounding and beautiful. But if you think about it carefully, it is not the case.
What does it mean to be able to support the appearance of Duke Dingguo's palace? To put it bluntly, doesn't it mean that everyone in Duke Dingguo's palace should do their best for the prince? Fortunately, Queen Gu said it righteously.
What else could he say in front of the emperor while he was still alive? It was full of hints. Didn't he just want to remind him of Concubine Zheng and the third prince's covetous ambitions? He knew all this much better than Empress Gu...
…
"Auntie, don't worry. I'm really not interested in an official career." Gu Xinian still looked unmoved, but the words coming out of his mouth were so angry that it made his teeth itch.
Queen Gu's eyes flashed, and she suppressed the anger in her heart: "You can't be idle all your life! You are the only legitimate son of my eldest brother. When my eldest brother inherits the title, he will ask you to be crowned prince. Sooner or later, you will have one day
You have to take charge of Duke Dingguo's mansion. Are you planning to be an idle Duke of Dingguo?"
"Why not?" Over the past few years, Gu Xinian had heard these words countless times. Every time he would retort in such a leisurely manner: "I think this kind of life is pretty good."
Stay away from the dark political struggle, stay away from the cruel battle for the reserve, and live quietly. What's wrong with that?
…
Queen Gu's blood boiled and she gritted her teeth secretly. She tried hard to calm down and said in a deep voice: "Xinian, you are a smart person. You must be very clear about some things, and there are some things that you can't avoid just because you want to."
As the struggle between the prince and the third prince gradually surfaced, Duke Dingguo's palace had already been involved in this invisible but more cruel struggle. If the prince was deposed, Duke Dingguo's palace would also be implicated. From then on
After that, it will inevitably fall into ruin and never regain the glory it has today.
Even if he didn't say these words, Gu Xinian would naturally understand them.
In fact, no one knows better than him how much disaster the prince's dethronement will bring to the Dingguo Palace. As the ancestral family of the prince, once the prince is deposed, the glory of the Dingguo Palace will be gone. In the court
The Central Committee has become very difficult, and being suppressed is simply a matter of course!
