The prince's wife is even more cruel, and the weak prince is afraid of his wife.
Chapter 15 What are you afraid of?
At this time, the Queen Mother suddenly said: "Well, we have admired the flowers and drank the wine, do you have any talent to liven up the atmosphere?
After hearing this, the girls in the boudoirs began to get excited and wondered whether they should be the first one.
At this time, Gu Meng stood up and said, "I would like to perform a dance for the Queen Mother, wishing her a long life and good health."
"Okay, I already know Meng'er's feelings, you can go!" said the Queen Mother.
Gu Meng's head was buried under her long sleeves when the sound of the piano began.
Gu Meng also specially put on plum blossom makeup, so when her sleeves were suddenly swung away, her usually plain little face looked even brighter with the embellishment of plum blossoms, which made everyone's eyes light up.
During this time, she took a few steps back and spun quickly. Her light pink sleeves also danced with her body. She slowly flew up while spinning, and remained in the air like a fairy, intoxicating everyone.
At this moment, some people clapped their hands sparsely, and suddenly the applause lasted for a long time.
The prince came forward happily, put his coat on Gu Meng and half-hugged her in his arms.
"Meng'er, you really didn't let me down." The Queen Mother praised.
The prince looked at the empress dowager proudly, and stared at Gu Meng with deep affection, what a picture of love between a man and a woman.
The prince secretly looked at Gu Qianyue to see her reaction, but he only saw Gu Qianyue lowering her head and wondering what she was thinking. The prince thought Gu Qianyue must be crying secretly. Meng'er was indeed as good as a god. Gu Qianyue was playing hard to get with him.
Jiang Yubai was also wondering whether it was right to choose to cooperate with her, but this was the only chance.
Gu Qianyue kept eating without even raising her head, as if it had nothing to do with her.
When the emperor saw Jiang Yubai kept looking at Gu Qianyue, he thought he had feelings for her.
I despise Jiang Yubai even more. He is indeed a person who is blinded by lust. He said he didn't like the beauty he sent to him before. It seems that she was not pretty enough. If he likes beauties, then it's easy!
The Queen Mother saw that they had a good relationship, and she was also happy and asked: "If I am not mistaken, you danced the Yangliu Branch?"
Gu Mengying bowed and said, "Your Majesty, yes. This is what I saw by chance among the people. This dance represents that the people are living a happy life. The country of Li is even more prosperous under your majesty's management."
"What a prosperous place! Come and enjoy it!" said the emperor with a delighted look on his face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!" Gu Meng said.
When the prime minister, who knew the truth, heard Gu Meng say that the people were living a happy life, he lost his favor for her. He thought she was someone who would care about the people and seek welfare. Unexpectedly, she was flattering the powerful again. It seems that he needs to consider it again.
At this time, Gu Meng didn't know that after working so hard to gain the Prime Minister's favor, he lost the Prime Minister's support because of one of his words.
The people's lives are so miserable, but no one dares to mention it.
Next came the performances of some ministers’ daughters. I had seen the best of them, but any other performances seemed dull and mediocre.
The most bizarre thing was that while Gu Qian was dancing, she kept flirting with the Third Prince, which in turn annoyed his mother.
At this time, the eldest princess suddenly stood up and said, "I heard that Miss Gu San is both talented and beautiful. I would like to compete with you!"
In unison, everyone looked at the woman next to Jiang Yubai. Many people were curious about who that beautiful woman was.
Unexpectedly, it was Gu Qianyue, this idiot. Everyone started talking about it.
Gu Qianyue is both talented and beautiful, who is spreading this rumor? I'm afraid she accepted the money from this idiot.
Listening to those people slandering his sister, Gu Yunshen wanted to drag them out and beat them up. But since he couldn't beat them now, he wanted to remember them and beat them up secretly after leaving the palace.
Gu Qianyue was originally watching the scene of Xiaolan being teleported to the palace, and was a little unhappy when she was suddenly interrupted.
"Sure enough, trouble will find you eventually."
I looked up and saw that it was this girl, the prince's biological sister.
Is this the person who just saw those people abusing their mistresses?
"Yes, she was the one who took the innocent boy's life." Xiao Lan said. "By the way, she is also Gu Meng's good friend."
Xiao Lan was afraid that Gu Qianyue would ignore it, so how long would it have to wait to restore its physical form? So it added fuel to the fire. It was Qian Qian's fault for hating Gu Meng.
I am such a smart guy, hehe!
Jiang Yubai didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't stop the princess from making things difficult for him, because he also wanted to see what Gu Qianyue was capable of.
"Okay! I accept! But there has to be some motivation. Otherwise, what's the difference between me and those dancers who just danced?" Gu Qianyue said innocently.
"Gu Qianyue, who do you say is the dancer?" Gu Qian and Miss Li shouted.
"Whoever responds is the one I'm talking about." Gu Qianyue said.
" you!"
Gu Meng thought that this sister was very stupid. Not only did she ask for trouble, but she even dragged me into it. With tears in her eyes, she threw herself into the prince's arms.
When the prince saw Gu Meng's aggrieved look, he became even more unhappy with Gu Qianyue.
"Gu Qianyue, you are a lovelorn idiot. I bet one thousand taels of gold on the eldest princess. If you lose, you must apologize to Meng'er." The prince said angrily.
As soon as the prince said this, the place that was originally intended to be a place for performance and entertainment turned into an arena.
"Does anyone else want to place a bet?" Gu Qianyue looked around and asked.
Everyone looked at the Emperor, the Queen Mother and the Empress, neither of them said a word, and they dared not move.
"I'll bet two thousand taels of gold." Jiang Yubai also joined in the fun. "I'll bet on Xiao Yueyue."
When the princess heard Jiang Yubai put out the chips, she was happy and thought Jiang Yubai liked her. But when she heard that it was to bet on Gu Qianyue, her good mood instantly fell to the bottom, and she looked at Gu Qianyue with malice in her eyes, I will never let you go.
Gu Qianyue gave Jiang Yubai a warning look and transmitted her inner voice: "Mind your own bad luck in love."
Jiang Yubai looked at Gu Qianyue with a face full of joking, but he couldn't transmit his voice because his inner strength was too weak. Otherwise, he would definitely say: You are anxious! You are anxious!
Gu Qianyue looked up at the people in high positions, bowed and saluted, saying, "Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, so it is still up to Her Majesty the Queen Mother to make the decision."
"Oh, now you know it's mother's birthday banquet. Those who don't know would think Yihexuan is where you, Gu Qianyue, live." The queen said kindly, her face looked gentle and generous, but her eyes were full of coldness.
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant." Gu Yunshen knelt down and said. He originally wanted to pull Gu Qianyue along, but he couldn't.
This kid loses his temper when it comes to his sister's affairs. His grandfather glanced at Gu's father, and his father pretended not to understand and just sat there motionless.
The officials who were at odds with the Gu family all looked like they were enjoying the show.
The Queen Mother didn't like Gu Qianyue in the first place, but considering that Meng'er was still in the Gu family, she let the Queen Mother decide her fate.
Gu Meng knew that the Queen deliberately made things difficult for Gu Qianyue in order to get the Crown Prince to save her and build relationships with her, but she saw that the Crown Prince was unmoved.
Gu Meng stood up and said, "Empress, my second sister grew up in a manor and must have been ignorant of the palace rules, so she offended the Empress Dowager. Please give my third sister another chance."
The wording is a double entendre. On the one hand, it shows that Gu Qianyue lives in the countryside and is an incompetent fool with no one to teach her the rules. On the other hand, she is willing to contact Gu Qianyue on behalf of the prince to get Jiang Yubai's military token.
However, the Queen was not very happy when she heard this, even though it was in her own interest. Could this be the reason why the old saying goes that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies?
"Miss Gu San, do you admit your guilt?" the emperor suddenly asked.
"Your servant did not understand. What crime have I committed?" Gu Qianyue did not avoid the emperor's eyes like others did, but looked directly at him.
The emperor was amused by this scene. He was indeed an ignorant fellow, just like Jiang Yubai when he was a child. How is he now? He is still like a useless person.
"Qianqian, there's something wrong with this dog emperor's eyes." Xiaolan said suddenly.
If enemies come, we will fight them; if water comes, we will block it with earth. What is there to be afraid of?
"How dare you!" The eunuch was about to scold, but when he saw the emperor waving his hand, the eunuch shut up and stepped back.
"I would like to see what you have to say." The emperor said with a smile on his face.
The eldest princess didn't understand why her father didn't punish Gu Qianyue, but she was afraid of her father and his methods of torture, so when her father spoke, she lowered her head and dared not say a word.
"No, the Queen Mother said that there is no need to be formal and just have fun, right? Doesn't the Queen Mother's words count?" Gu Qianyue asked doubtfully, looking at the Queen Mother with an expression that said you are not keeping your word.
This put the empress dowager in a dilemma. The concubines all had different thoughts and did not dare to say anything.
"Don't talk nonsense." The prince defended. "Our royal family's words are of course binding."
In this way, the prince maintained the reputation of the royal family and rescued the empress dowager, but it is unknown whether anyone believed it.
The Queen Mother was very pleased. She really did not love her grandson in vain. But Gu Qianyue must not stay any longer.
"Your Highness is wise!" Jiang Yubai saluted. "In that case, should we continue with the challenge proposed by the eldest princess?"
The eldest princess, who had originally wanted to get away with it, was put on the stove again.
The Queen Mother asked Gu Yunshen to get up first. After all, he had just won a victory and she didn't want to disappoint the ministers.
"Since it is the eldest princess who proposed the challenge, we must naturally complete the competition. Your Majesty, what do you think?" said the Queen Mother.
"Of course, competitions require prizes, so I'll use a blank imperial edict as the prize," said the emperor.
