Chapter 1553 If One Day, I Became a Royal Concubine
In the next two days, Si Muzhen went to Gu Qiqing's room almost every day to encourage her to enter the palace.
"You are just too honest."
"What's wrong with meeting more often with the Imperial Concubine, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and—His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei?"
"If nothing else, your relationship with the harem will be closer, and it will be easier for your uncle to get things done in the court."
Gu Qiqing was sitting by the window reading a book. When she heard this, she raised her head and said, "Sister, this is not right."
"Why not?"
"If I get too close to the harem, it will be even harder for my father to do his job."
"What's the logic behind this?"
"We have to avoid suspicion."
Si Muzhen was both angry and amused. She gritted her teeth and said, "You are so young, why do you have so many worries? Besides, with your relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess, what is there to avoid?"
Gu Qiqing said subconsciously: "I'm not talking about the princess——"
When she said this, her face suddenly turned red.
He immediately lowered his head and buried his face in the pages of the book. Seeing this, Si Muzhen laughed and said, "Hey, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
Gu Qiqing's face turned even redder because of her smile.
He simply stood up and pushed her out of his room, saying, "I don't want to listen to you. I don't want to listen. Get out. I want to read."
Si Muzhen was pushed out of the room with a smile on her face.
But as soon as the door closed, her expression changed from smiling to gloomy.
She said coldly: "What's there to pretend."
“…”
"So what if I cling to the rich and powerful? Who wouldn't want wealth and success?"
“…”
"If one day I were to sit on the throne of a noble concubine, with such a close proximity, would you still be indifferent to the position of Princess Wei, or even the position of Queen?"
Having said that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Early the next morning.
Gu Qiqing was sitting in her room reading a book. Si Muzhen was trying to encourage her with words, but Gu Qiqing ignored her.
At this time, Wang Ma came in with a basin of hot water: "Miss, the medicine is ready."
"Oh, okay."
Gu Qiqing took off her shoes and socks and put her pair of white jade feet into the still steaming potion. A faint medicinal fragrance filled the entire room. Her feet felt very comfortable soaking in the potion.
After a while, the time came.
Gu Qiqing wiped his feet clean, put on his shoes and socks again, moved his ankle, and found it was completely healed.
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "This time, the young lady's prescription is really good. She has recovered in just two days."
Gu Qiqing smiled.
"Who prescribed this?"
"Yes, it's someone else."
When Aunt Wang heard this, she knew that Gu Qiqing was unwilling to reveal the name of the person who wrote the prescription, so she smiled and said, "No matter what, the young lady should be very grateful to him."
Gu Qiqing was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "There may be no other way."
"Why?"
"I, I can't see that person often."
Si Muzhen was listening nearby, his face darkening.
Wang Ma was also a little surprised. Just as she was about to ask her why, a little girl suddenly ran in hurriedly and said to Gu Qiqing, "Miss, hurry up and get ready."
Gu Qiqing looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
"Someone's coming from the palace."
"What?"
"The Imperial Concubine sent someone to come and take the young lady to the palace to play with Her Royal Highness the Princess."
“…”
Gu Qiqing was stunned.
Simuzhen, who was standing by, suddenly had an excited smile on her face.
