Oh my god, can you play like this?

Looking at the woman in front of him who was full of malice towards him, Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Shurui beside him in confusion, "Do you know who this is?"

When the woman heard Gu Lanzhi's words, she immediately became so angry that her chest heaved up and down.

She was known as the most talented woman in Kyoto, but Gu Lanzhi didn't even know her.

Gu Lanzhi had been fighting on the border, and had rarely attended various banquets since he returned. He really didn't know who this girl was.

"This is the former prime minister's granddaughter, Qi Anlan."

"Former Prime Minister? Oh, the Prime Minister who was ordered by His Majesty to retire and return home!"

Gu Lanzhi looked at Qi Anlan teasingly, and then said, "Isn't the Prime Minister going to leave Kyoto? Why, Miss Qi, the Prime Minister's granddaughter, aren't you at home helping your grandfather pack his luggage?"

"You..." Qi Anlan glared at Gu Lanzhi angrily.

The two young ladies beside her did not join in the discussion. They just stood behind Qi Anlan and watched without saying anything.

"Humph... My grandfather was devoted to His Majesty. Even if he was ordered to retire and return home, it was because he was old, not because of anything else."

Gu Lanzhi still looked at Qi Anlan teasingly, and said sarcastically: "Did anyone here say that your grandfather was ordered to be an old man because of other reasons?"

Just one sentence silenced Qi Anlan.

Gu Lanzhi smiled and shook his head. Little girl, your mind is too simple. Gu Lanzhi hasn't said anything yet, but Qi Anlan is already showing her weakness.

"me……"

"Miss Qi, are you okay? If not, I'd like to continue to visit the villa with my brother." After saying that, Gu Lanzhi turned around and prepared to leave.

Gu Lanzhi had no interest in fighting with this kind of little girl.

"Lord Gu, my grandfather was devoted to His Majesty and Dongshun. How could you be so charming that His Majesty would not listen to other people's advice?"

Hearing this, Gu Lanzhi's sarcastic expression disappeared and he turned to look at Qi Anlan.

"Miss Qi, why do you say that?"

Qi Anlan's originally depressed mood immediately became high. He straightened his chest and looked directly at Gu Lanzhi with his head held high.

"If it weren't for Marquis Gu, my grandfather would have come to the palace to persuade His Majesty. How could His Majesty have allowed my grandfather to retire and return home?"

"What you said is so unreasonable. According to you, my existence is the original sin that led your grandfather to retire and return home?

Miss Qi, do you know why your grandfather entered the palace?"

"Of course, it's to persuade your majesty to think twice."

"Think twice about what?"

“Think twice…Think twice…”

Qi Anlan couldn't continue speaking. She knew that her grandfather came to the palace to persuade the emperor to make someone else the queen.

Before his grandfather entered the palace, he specifically called Qi Anlan and asked her very formally whether she wanted to enter the palace to be queen. Even if there was only a slight possibility, the prime minister was willing to give it a try.

Qi Anlan fell in love with Li Beichen at first sight at the coronation banquet, especially when His Majesty said that he would only marry the Queen in his life, Qi Anlan wanted to offer herself to His Majesty immediately.

When her grandfather asked her if she was willing to be the queen, Qi Anlan said without hesitation that she wanted to be the queen. Her eagerness made the prime minister laugh.

The emperor, the most powerful person in Dongshun Kingdom, is still so young, so handsome, and so loyal.

Which woman wouldn't want to have a man like this? Hesitating for even a second would be a blasphemy to His Majesty.

But Qi Anlan couldn't say these words in front of so many people, which put him in a difficult position.

"Can't you tell? Then I'll speak for Miss Qi.

Your grandfather went to the palace to persuade His Majesty for the sake of you, his granddaughter, because the Prime Minister wanted Miss Qi to become the queen.

As long as Miss Qi becomes the queen, the Prime Minister's family will have a backer. Miss Qi can rely on her status as queen to make the Qi family prosperous for decades."

"Shut up! This is nonsense." Qi Anlan spoke without restraint, nervously.

Who could have thought that Lord Gu was so indifferent and dared to say anything!

Which noble family doesn't have this kind of thought, but who dares to really say it out loud, especially in front of so many people.

"Hahaha...Okay, okay, I won't punish you for your disrespect for now. Then I want to ask, what did Miss Qi say about the Prime Minister asking His Majesty to think twice?"

"Yes Yes……"

"Miss Qi, do you think I am not qualified to be the queen?"

"of course."

"Why?"

"Because you are a man!"

Qi Anlan is only sixteen years old this year. She was spoiled by her family and had an immature mind. When asked by Gu Lanzhi, she spoke without thinking.

Even the two girls behind Qi Anlan showed contemptuous expressions.

After Qi Anlan finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong.

She had forgotten that Gu Lanzhi was a boy. She had always heard that Gu Lanzhi was a great general, a hero who was invincible and had returned victorious from battles. She subconsciously forgot that Gu Lanzhi could also have children.

Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Anlan with a faint smile.

“I fought on the border and recovered the lost cities for Dongshun. I suffered numerous injuries just to keep the border of Dongshun stable. Now I am back to the court and have been named Marquis Dingguo.

If I am not qualified to be the queen, then Miss Qi, what qualifications do you have to stand in that position?

Because you are arrogant? Because you are self-righteous? Because you are a woman?

Have you forgotten that it is not only women who can carry on the family line?"

Having said that, Gu Lanzhi paused, looked at Qi Anlan with disdain and smiled.

"Also, your grandfather is about to retire and leave Kyoto. Not only did you, his legitimate granddaughter, not stay at home with him, but you came to the villa to play instead. Where is your filial piety?

Although the Prime Minister was rebuked by His Majesty before he could tell His Majesty the purpose of his visit to the Imperial Study that day, everyone can understand that his purpose that day was to make you the Queen.

Although I have considerations for my own family, it is also for you, my granddaughter.

You actually wouldn't stay by your grandfather's side at a time like this..."

Gu Lanzhi looked Qi Anlan up and down with contempt, "Miss Qi, your family education is really beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

"You...you..." Qi Anlan pointed at Gu Lanzhi.

Seeing someone pointing at him, Gu Lanzhi's face immediately darkened and his temperament became extremely cold.

Others may not know what Gu Lanzhi hates, but Gu Shurui knows it clearly.

Seeing the changes in Qi Anlan's fingers and his brother's body, Gu Shurui smiled and said, "Haha...someone is going to be in trouble!"
