The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

Pei Qiyu's face was slightly sarcastic, but he didn't say anything.

What is unexpected is that the queen actually intends to arrange a marriage between him and the general's family!

If you think about it carefully, it is not completely incomprehensible. After all, although the Gu family makes my father feel wary, its strength is an indisputable fact.

Moreover, the old general Gu had obviously long realized the emperor's fear of them, so he resolutely decided to stay in the capital.

As for whether the so-called injury was true or not, it no longer mattered, because it at least gave them a new option.

However, when hearing Gu Fanchu's name, Pei Qiyu couldn't help but think of Shi Jinyan.

I really don't know, if Shi Jinyan knew that the Queen wanted him to marry Gu Fanchu, how would he react? What attitude would he have?

He always thought it would be fun.

"Find an opportunity and tell Master Shi that I want to see him."

It seems that he has sped up his progress.

Gu Fanchu and Wang did not stay in the palace for long, and soon they both set out on their journey back to the general's mansion.

As soon as I stepped into the gate of the General's Mansion, someone from the Grand Tutor's Mansion came to deliver something.

As soon as Gu Fanchu returned to the courtyard where he lived, the housekeeper hurriedly came to him to report that someone had come to visit.

The person who came was a servant in green clothes, with a round and pleasing face.

As soon as he saw Gu Fanchu, he bowed and said:

"I pay my respects to Princess Lingyu! My master has specially asked me to bring you something, saying that he wants to express his gratitude for your help."

Gu Fanchu chose to ignore the housekeeper's puzzled look and turned his gaze to the object that the servant was holding respectfully in his hands - a long box.

The moment she saw the box, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

I was thinking to myself, what on earth is Jin Yan planning at this moment?

He actually sent someone to deliver things to me in such a high-profile and unscrupulous manner. Could it be that he intended to let the rumors about them spread even more outrageously?

However, even though she was extremely reluctant at this moment, she could only sit still and gesture expressionlessly to Bai Li beside her to go forward and take the box.

Bai Li carefully stretched out her hands, took the box from the other person, and gently placed it on the table beside her.

At this time, Gu Fanchu raised his head slightly, forced a smile at the servant in front of him, and said slowly:

"Master Shi, you are truly too polite. I would like to ask you to tell Master Shi that this is my responsibility and it is nothing more than a simple favor."

When she said this, she clenched her teeth with almost all her strength, fearing that she would accidentally vent the anger and dissatisfaction in her heart.

But the servant seemed to be completely unaware of Gu Fanchu's unusual mood. He still smiled and responded cheerfully:

"Alright! I will report everything to my master without missing a word when I get back. In that case, I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the butler standing by hurried forward, gestured for invitation, and left the room with the servant.

After they left, Gu Fanchu's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself, then reached out and slowly opened the beautifully crafted box.

As the lid of the box was opened little by little, what came into view was an exquisite and small bow and arrow.

The lines of the bow are smooth and natural, as if they were formed by nature; the handle of the bow is inlaid with several dazzling gems, sparkling with dazzling light.

The most amazing thing is the intricate patterns carefully carved on the bow handle, the exquisite craftsmanship is simply beyond imagination.

"Miss, how did the Grand Tutor know you were practicing archery here? And this bow is truly exquisite and magnificent! Just one glance at it reveals its priceless value."

Bai Li's eyes, as clear as water, were now flashing with a mixture of doubt and surprise.

Qiutang, who was standing aside, tugged at the corner of Baili's clothes without making any noise.

Bai Li turned to look at Qiu Tang with a little curiosity, only to see Qiu Tang frowning slightly and winking at her.

Bai Li understood immediately and tactfully pursed her lips tightly, saying no more.

At this time, Gu Fanchu walked forward lightly, reached out and carefully took the bow and arrow that was emitting dazzling light in his hand.

The moment her fingertips touched the bow, a warm and delicate touch came through her palm, making her feel happy.

She gently grasped the bowstring and pulled it with a little force, and the bowstring made a clear and pleasant sound.

After this attempt, Gu Fanchu clearly felt that this bow and arrow, both in terms of material and craftsmanship, was many times better than those he had used randomly in the past.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she thought to herself: Well, since the tutor wants to use this as a thank-you gift to express his gratitude, then let him go.

She asked Bai Li to put away the bow and arrow, and she sat in the room carefully thinking about what had happened today. She was thinking about the Queen and the Crown Prince.

It is said that the Queen Mother loves the Prince who is in poor health very much. She doesn't know them well, and she even seems to have never seen the Prince.

Of course, she understood what the Queen meant today. It was just that the Fifth Prince was in power, and she wanted someone or a powerful family to support the Crown Prince.

But, doesn't the Queen know that His Majesty is now wary of the General's Mansion? Or does she have other motives?

But...she doesn't really want to be involved with the prince.

What should I do then? Since the Queen has made this invitation today, she will definitely do something at the palace banquet. If it becomes a foregone conclusion by then, I am afraid that if I want to fight back, it will be over.

no······

Considering the seriousness of the matter, Gu Fanchu immediately got up and went to the old lady's Songtao Garden.

The old lady has recently benefited from the tonic pills made for her by Gu Fanchu. Her sleep quality has improved a lot and she looks very energetic.

When Gu Fan first came, she was in the yard admiring a rare hibiscus that Gu Xunzhou had found for her.

"Madam, Miss Chu'er is here."

The maids brought Gu Fanchu into the courtyard, and the old lady immediately smiled and joked, "I was just thinking about you, and now you're here."

Gu Fanchu walked forward affectionately and took the old lady's wrist, saying coquettishly: "That means grandma misses me, and I miss grandma too!"

"You're the only one with a sweet mouth, Biluo. Go and bring the warm bird's nest to the little girl. Let's see which is sweeter, the bird's nest or her mouth."

The old lady smiled and tapped the tip of Gu Fanchu's nose, showing her affection.
