Her words made Gu Zixu stunned again, and there was a little confusion in his eyes.
Just looking at Qiao Qian's eyes looking at him expectantly, he became a little unnatural.
"Mother, have we... met?"
As soon as his question was asked, Qiao Qian's heart suddenly fell to the bottom.
But at this time, she could only smile at Gu Zixu and said: "Five years ago, when I followed my father to Beijing for his appointment, I encountered gangsters on the road. If the Prime Minister hadn't saved me, I'm afraid our whole family would have suffered.
.”
After Qiao Qian's reminder, Gu Zixu slowly gained some impression.
Five years ago, when he returned from a study tour in another country, he rescued an official who was going to Beijing with his family to take up a post on the way. That is Qiao Xi, the current Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
At that time, after he rescued them, he did not reveal his identity. He was only recognized by Qiao Xi after he returned to Beijing and went to court.
Qiao Xi was indeed grateful for his life-saving grace, but five years later, he did not take it to heart.
At that time, after rescuing them, he left directly and had no big impression on the young lady from the Qiao family who was sitting in the carriage at that time.
Now, Qiao Qian, who was already a concubine, brought it up at this time, which surprised him a little.
At that time, it was just a matter of effort. I didn't expect that Miss Qiao could remember it so deeply.
The reason why Qiao Qian knew that the person who rescued her at that time was the Prime Minister was from his father's mouth.
I wanted to thank him personally several times in my heart, partly to thank him for saving my life, and more importantly, for the secret promise of my heart at that first glance.
But because she never had the opportunity, in the past five years, she could only see such a handsome young man in her dreams to comfort her lovesickness. However, she never expected that the concubine would let her enter the palace for the draft with a single order.
Although her father was the Minister of Civil Affairs, he dared not resist the imperial order and could only beg her to agree.
That night, she cried and thought all night. Five years of lingering dreams could only end here.
She should only regard the encounter with the prime minister as a chance encounter, and should not have any wishful thinking.
She originally planned to live a peaceful life in this deep palace and bury her love for the Prime Minister forever, but she never thought that she would see him again today.
When they met for the second time five years later, her excitement far exceeded her imagination.
She thought she could face the man in front of her calmly, but she found that it was just her imagination.
"Has Prime Minister remembered?"
Seeing a hint of realization appear in Gu Zixu's eyes, Qiao Qian calmed down her low mood and asked softly again.
Gu Zixu then smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, you are serious. I just happened to save Master Qiao when I passed by. It's a trivial matter, and I don't care about it."
Gu Zixu called Qiao Qian "Mother" one after another, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
But, unfortunately, that is the fact.
She is already the emperor's woman in name.
Biting her lower lip, she held back the tears in her eyes, lowered her eyes and said: "The grace of saving my life should be repaid with a spring of water. How dare Qiao Qian forget it so easily."
Looking at Qiao Qian in front of him, Gu Zixu always felt that she was a little weird. At the same time, it also made him feel very uncomfortable, so he had to say goodbye——
"Your Majesty, I have important matters to meet with the Emperor, so I have to take my leave now."
