The prince's wife is even more cruel, and the weak prince is afraid of his wife.
Chapter 16 Old Man, Lend Me Your Sword 1
The officials were very surprised. This was just entertainment between women. Wasn't the emperor going too far?
However, some people thought that twelve years ago, not long after the emperor ascended the throne, the first blank imperial edict was given to Prince Jiang. As a result, Prince Jiang became a useless person. It seems that the emperor no longer wants to keep the Gu family, or does not want to keep Gu Qianyue.
And Gu Qianyue is a fool with only beauty, she is destined to be the sacrifice when the emperor attacks the Gu family, the prime minister said secretly while stroking his beard and looking in the direction of the father and son of the Gu family.
"In that case, I will use a colorful glass cup as a prize." The queen said with a smile. She had originally intended to give the glass cup to her daughter. Since there was a fool like Gu Qianyue acting as a supporting role, it would naturally highlight the brilliance of her daughter.
"I'll take this jade bracelet as a prize." The Queen Mother took off the bracelet from her wrist, and the nanny placed it on the tray of her father-in-law.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this seemed to be a prize, but in fact it was all for the eldest princess. After all, no one would have thought that Gu Qianyue would win. So many ladies in the boudoir began to rush to praise the princess.
The eldest princess was very proud. I would like to see how a silly and infatuated girl like you can compare with me. She looked at Gu Qianyue with a provocative look.
"Tsk tsk, Qianqian, no one here thinks highly of you." Xiaolan said. "If you beat them, will they be so angry that they die?"
"Isn't that fun?" Gu Qianyue said with some joy in her voice. Her favorite thing was to slap other people in the face.
"Since everyone is looking forward to it, Gu Qianyue, let's have a dance competition." The eldest princess said to Gu Qianyue with her nose in the air.
"It's not impossible, but the dance I'm going to perform will involve blood. If I hurt someone, it would be bad if the emperor blames me." Gu Qianyue said with some difficulty.
"If she hurt someone while dancing, she can only blame herself for her bad luck. It's her own fault." The eldest princess said to herself.
Gu Qianyue simply bowed to the high-ranking emperor and said, "I, your servant, would like to seek a name of innocence. Please allow me, Your Majesty."
The third young lady of the Gu family is really brave. She dares to negotiate with His Majesty without doing anything.
Jiang Yubai smiled and said, "This is to help with the fun. Since it will hurt people, Xiao Yueyue, let's not compete with the eldest princess, to avoid being accused of bullying others too much."
What everyone thought of when seeing Jiang Yubai helping Gu Qianyue out of the predicament was that he didn't want Gu Qianyue to embarrass herself by using the title of his fiancée.
"Since I have already said it, I will certainly not go back on my word." As soon as Master Sheng finished speaking, his father pinched his ears. He cried out in pain, and his father apologized, "Your Majesty, your son is drunk and talking nonsense. I will take him back to the palace and discipline him properly."
Lord Sheng was really old and didn't want to get involved in this mess anymore so he wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but His Majesty didn't say anything.
The emperor looked at Gu Qianyue with a coercive look for a long time. Seeing that she had no reaction, he said, "I agree."
"I heard that Prince Jiang can play the flute. I would like you to help with the accompaniment. Are you willing?" The eldest princess asked softly, as if she was afraid of scaring Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai bowed and said, "I have become much weaker these days, and I am afraid I am unable to take on such a big responsibility."
The eldest princess didn't expect to be rejected by Jiang Yubai in public. She felt a little embarrassed and the handkerchief in her hand was almost crumpled.
At this time, the young master of the Li Mansion came out to help and said, "I can play the flute. I hope the princess can give me a chance."
"Then it's you." After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yubai's reaction, only to see that he didn't even raise his eyelids and kept looking at Gu Qianyue.
The queen's face was not very good. These two siblings were really disobedient. On the one hand, she was afraid that His Majesty would blame Wei'er, and she didn't understand why she liked Jiang Yubai, a sickly boy.
The eldest princess changed into a pink folded gauze skirt and began to dance gracefully, while Master Li played the flute beside her. What a beautiful scene this was.
As the sound of the flute became more urgent, her body moved faster and faster, her jade-like hands lingered gracefully, her skirt fluttered, her pair of watery eyes like smoke seemed to be hesitant to speak, her eyes were dancing, and she was like a flower in the mist, hazy and ethereal, flashing with beautiful colors, yet so far away.
After the dance, the princess was sweating profusely.
"The princess dances with falling flowers to the sound of clear music. What a wonderful performance." Gu Meng praised.
The eldest princess was very happy to hear the praise. She was confident in this dance as she had practiced it hard for a long time.
I want to see how Gu Qianyue is going to win.
"Sister, why don't you change your clothes?" Gu Meng looked at Gu Qianyue puzzledly.
Gu Qianyue looked around and said, "No need." Then she walked up to her grandfather and said, "Old man, can I borrow your sword?"
Gu Meng felt that Gu Qianyue was daydreaming when she saw this scene. Her grandfather would definitely reject her. After all, this sword was given to her grandfather by the late lady, and she would carry it with her all day long. How could he let Gu Qianyue play with it?
"Third sister, it's fine if you just play around, but you even want to take grandfather's sword." Gu Qianrou blamed Gu Qianyue softly.
Unexpectedly, my grandfather raised his hand and handed the sword to me, and he was very pleased.
The eunuch tried to stop her, saying, "General, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. You are allowed to bring a sword into the palace, but the third young lady does not hold an official position."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Qianyue said, "There are so many masters in the palace, are you afraid that a little girl like me will assassinate His Majesty?"
"No problem. Just start." His Majesty really wanted to see what this idiot was capable of.
Then Gu Qianyue drew her sword and walked to the center of the stage. She glanced at Gu Meng and began to dance with the sword.
Gu Meng was frightened by this look. He looked at her with cold eyes as if she were a dead person, but when he looked away, there was nothing.
Why does Gu Qianyue have such a cold look? Is it really an illusion?
At first everyone was watching Gu Qianyue's slow pace and thought there was nothing interesting to see, but then they saw her soar into the air, spinning in the air and creating a brilliant curtain of light.
It was as if stars were falling from the sky, and the light curtain was cut off again, and then turned into a sharp beam of light, as if it had resolved the fatal disaster.
Then the long sword was swung, and the dazzling sword light rushed straight towards Gu Meng's face like a gorgeous silver dragon. Then a medium-sized white lotus was carved on the left side of Gu Qianyue's face.
Then the sword was put back into the sheath and Gu Meng's scream was heard. Gu Meng, who had been gentle and kind before, was now screaming hysterically.
"Your Highness, this subject's face, wuwuwuwu."
The prince was originally attracted by Gu Qianyue's heroic sword dance, but was awakened by Gu Meng. When he saw the hurt on Gu Meng's face, he said angrily: "Gu Qianyue, you vicious woman, you actually dared to hurt Meng'er. I will never let you go."
"I didn't expect that Miss Gu San would wield the sword so skillfully." The officials were all talking about it.
And the ladies are all saying that Gu Qianyue is vicious and actually ruined Gu Meng's face. Don't they know that a woman's face is the most important thing in the world?
Some admired her, while others wondered if Gu Qianyue was hiding her talents.
The eldest princess didn't expect that Gu Qianyue was not a fool. She felt deceived and was very angry.
"Your Highness, what you said is not right. The eldest princess said that if she can't escape, it's her bad luck. And His Majesty said that she is not guilty." Jiang Yubai said as he stood in front of Gu Qianyue.
"Father, Meng'er is my son's Crown Princess, how can you just let it go?" The Crown Prince forgot about etiquette in his anxiety and questioned the Emperor.
His Majesty was furious at his impoliteness and said, "Have you learned all the etiquette? Someone take the prince back to the East Palace and confine him to his room for half a month to copy the palace etiquette a hundred times."
The prince was still shouting, not understanding why his father did not punish Gu Qianyue.
Gu Meng had been holding the prince, and the father-in-law did not dare to pull the future princess, so he said with embarrassment: "Miss Gu, please let go, it's hard for others to be slaves."
The prince looked at Meng'er crying like a pear blossom falling down in the rain, and said with great distress: "Father, I will take Meng'er to see the imperial physician first, and then I will return to the palace and be confined. I beg your approval."
His Majesty felt a headache when he saw the prince's appearance, and waved his hand in agreement.
The Crown Prince hugged Gu Meng by the waist and left. When he passed by Gu Qianyue, he paused for a moment, looked at her fiercely and said, "Gu Qianyue, I will never let you go, nor will I forgive you, and you will never be able to live in my East Palace."
