The situation was becoming increasingly interesting, and she was already looking forward to the martial arts tests in the next few days.
When she heard that Gu Qingsheng had returned, the empress dowager also sent an oral order for Gu Qingsheng to enter the palace. Before the sun rose above the branches, she dressed neatly and entered the palace.
And on the way to the palace, it was a coincidence that whoever I was thinking of was the one I met.
"Gu Qingsheng?!"
A sharp female voice came over, Gu Qingsheng's eyebrows twitched, and he turned his head and raised his eyebrows.
"Gu Miao?"
After not seeing each other for a month, Gu Miao hadn't changed much. He was still as arrogant and condescending as before. He looked Gu Qingsheng up and down.
"You are not..."
It seems that only a few people knew about his disappearance. Gu Miao was also kept in the dark and only heard some rumors.
"During the time I was recuperating in the mansion, my sister seemed to be having a good time."
His expression was dull for a moment, then he frowned tightly.
"Are you really recuperating in the mansion?"
"What else?"
Gu Qingsheng raised his eyebrows
"What do you think I was doing? Dating a guy or something? Why do you seem unhappy that I appeared in front of you safe and sound?"
This sentence hit Gu Miao's heart immediately, and his face turned pale.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't say that."
After saying that, his face turned pale and he sneered.
"Speaking of which, after recuperating for such a long time, did you find that everything was different when you came out?"
"For example, General Chu, who you've always been chasing after, now has a beautiful wife. I wonder how our Princess Changle feels about this."
I probably wanted to say these words to provoke Gu Qingsheng, but I never expected that Gu Qingsheng just shook his head after hearing these words.
"Princess, you are wrong. General Chu is no longer a general, but a deputy general. So you should call him Deputy General Chu."
Gu Miao hadn't expected that she cared about this at all. He just shuddered his lips twice and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
Gu Qingsheng was in a good mood. He stretched and walked towards the Empress Dowager's palace.
When I arrived at the Queen Mother's palace, I heard crying coming from inside before I even entered.
The Queen Mother worshipped Buddha all year round, so it was normal for there to be some Buddhist incense in the palace. However, this familiar feeling...
"Master Imperial Master, please help me, please help me."
Luo Zhaozhao's voice is very recognizable no matter where she is, and her voice is very delicate and tender.
Judging from what she said, Xu Qingyi is here too?
For some unknown reason, Gu Qingsheng retracted his legs and moved closer to the door to listen to the two people continue talking.
"Miss Luo, you need to be mindful of your words and actions in the Queen Mother's bedroom. Please get up from the ground first."
"I can't afford it! Imperial Master, please help me! Please help me! Have you forgotten that I once…"
"There's no need to talk about the past, Miss Luo. Even a fetus on the ground would catch a cold."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned the fetus, but as soon as he mentioned the fetus, Luo Zhaozhao seemed to have touched his reverse scale, and his voice began to grow louder.
"No! No! This is disgusting! I don't want to have his child... ME!"
"What a shame to make such a fuss."
The Queen Mother's lazy and solemn voice sounded from the hall, and it sounded like she had just woken up.
"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others? You're making such a fuss here. Miss Luo, now that you're a married woman, you should pay more attention to your posture and behavior. It's not proper to behave like this."
The words were neither light nor heavy. Bai Lu felt a little strange and whispered to Gu Qingsheng:
"Princess, I remember that the Queen Mother didn't seem to like Miss Luo very much. Why is she..."
Not only Bai Lu was puzzled, even Gu Qingsheng was puzzled.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Empress Dowager disliked Luo Zhaozhao. It was already a rare thing for Luo Zhaozhao to be in the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
Luo Zhaozhao cried hard
"Queen Mother, you must make the decision for me. I..."
"What's going on so lively?"
Seeing the opportunity, Gu Qingsheng brought Bai Lu out. Luo Zhaozhao was still holding the corner of Xu Qingyi's clothes with one hand, staring at Gu Qingsheng in a daze.
Xu Qingyi glanced at Gu Qingsheng, then took a step back and pulled the clothes out of Luo Zhaozhao's hands without leaving any trace.
"My Lady, are you feeling better?"
Naturally, some of his little movements did not escape Gu Qingsheng's eyes.
"How could I not feel good when the Imperial Master came to help me personally?"
"I'm in good health now, and everything I eat tastes delicious. I just regret that I came a little too late and didn't see the big show between the Imperial Master and Miss Luo."
Looking around at the two people, Luo Zhaozhao still looked a little uncomfortable, and Xu Qingyi slowly lowered his eyes.
"The princess misunderstood."
The atmosphere was a little off for a moment. The Queen Mother noticed that she coughed lightly and waved to Luo Zhaozhao and Xu Qingyi.
"Okay, I have to talk to Changle, you two go down."
Xu Qingyi walked very calmly, but Luo Zhaozhao kept looking back with sadness in her eyes.
After Luo Zhaozhao left, Gu Qingsheng asked the Queen Mother
"Grandma, I remember you didn't like Miss Luo? Why did you invite her in today?"
"You kid."
The Queen Mother reached out and tapped Gu Qingsheng's forehead.
"This Miss Luo seems very unhappy about her marriage to Lieutenant General Chu, and she's begging to see me."
"This marriage was arranged by the Emperor. If you want to cancel it, there's really no one else to turn to except me."
Gu Qingsheng understood a lot after hearing this. The Queen Mother had no need to lie to herself about this kind of thing. After pondering for a while, she continued
"Then, what Miss Luo just said about her past with the Imperial Preceptor..."
"I don't know about this matter."
The Queen Mother's tone was unclear, but her eyes looking at Gu Qingsheng were meaningful.
"Let's not talk too much for now. I just hope you can come back safely."
"I came to you this time to ask you, Kiyomori. Your brother has returned with military merit. I will definitely reward him in the martial arts examination the day after tomorrow. If he is lucky enough to win first place, then no one will say anything."
"I want to ask you, if your brother can take first place, then the entire Prince Duan's Mansion will reward you. If you have any rewards you would like, you can tell Grandmother."
As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family.
As the Empress Dowager's grandchildren, they will definitely strive for the greatest benefits for them in such occasions.
Asking what you want before the martial arts test even begins is a typical example of starting to build relationships.
"Those who use the backdoor are really enviable."
Miao Lanlan exclaimed
"This Queen Mother may seem hard-hearted, but she's actually quite protective of her own shortcomings. If you had this opportunity, what would you choose?"
Gu Qingsheng was not surprised, but thought about it seriously for a while.
"Qiongsheng is already a princess, and she doesn't need so much treasure and property. In fact, logically speaking, she can't ask for rewards anymore..."
