"Aqing, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"
It was clearly the first time that Wang Qi met the grown-up Gu Qingcheng, but the tone of his voice revealed familiarity.
It was as if the beautiful girl standing before him was not the white moonlight he had caught a glimpse of in his childhood, but someone he was very familiar with.
Wang Qi was not surprised by Gu Qingcheng's ugliness when she was young and her stunning beauty when she grew up.
You know, even Gu Qingcheng's parents and other close relatives were stunned by her "transformation" when they met her again after ten years.
The gap between before and after is really too big.
The mud on the ground suddenly turned into the moon in the sky, and the little clowns and monsters became stunningly beautiful... Anyone would be surprised, amazed, or even doubt it.
In other words, Gu Qingcheng's beauty was not achieved overnight, but changed day by day.
Otherwise, the entire Gu family would definitely be suspicious.
As for Wang Qi, he said that he loved the kind young lady who had helped him when he was young.
Since he loves her and since she is the white moonlight in his heart, he must remember what she looks like and everything about her.
Well, putting aside Gu Qingcheng's suspicion about Wang Qi's "heavy taste and peculiar vision", just based on Wang Qi's own words, the white moonlight that he had been thinking about for ten years suddenly became completely different from what he remembered, so he didn't have any doubts?
Are you so easy to accept Gu Qingcheng's current beauty?
They are so familiar with each other, there is something wrong no matter how you look at it.
Sure enough, the moment this guy opened his mouth, he also "agreed".
"So, you really are 'he'."
Gu Qingcheng looked at Wang Qi steadily, trying to find some clues from his eyes.
"If you say so, then it is!"
Wang Qi curled the corners of his lips and revealed an evil smile.
Gu Qingcheng:... Damn, you’re sick!
Since this person was unwilling to tell the truth, Gu Qingcheng was too lazy to waste words with him.
"General Wang, are you really willing to serve me as your master?"
Gu Qingcheng collected her thoughts, raised her chin slightly, and revealed the dignity and dominance that a superior should have.
She did not dwell on any "old feelings", but instead acted like a big shot in the court and negotiated with Wang Qi.
Wang Qi was slightly surprised and seemed a little uncomfortable.
Gu Qingcheng's aura was fully open, and the majesty and strength of an empress spread out instantly.
There was no emotion like being touched or missing in her eyes, only the coldness of a superior.
"...What a heartless woman!"
Wang Qi complained secretly in his heart.
However, it was Gu Qingcheng's ruthlessness, indifference and arrogance that touched some people, including him.
For example, Wang Qi had a crazy idea -
He wanted to grow his own feelings in the heart of Gu Qing, this cold and arrogant woman.
Thinking of this, Wang Qi did not hesitate, knelt down again, and said respectfully, "I, Wang Qi, am willing to follow my lord!"
If she wanted to become a queen who ruled the world and achieve unprecedented hegemony, he would fully support her.
Even if you can't completely impress her by being open and sincere, you should be able to win a place in her heart.
Wang Qi presented the 30,000-strong army of the Wang family and the imperial seal obtained from Chen Duan. However, Wang Qi, who was only one step away from the supreme throne, did not take another step forward.
He willingly retreated and stood behind Gu Qingcheng, respectfully serving a woman as his master.
…
In this way, Gu Qingcheng took Jiankang without any soldiers.
Occupying the capital, holding the imperial seal, and with an army of over one hundred thousand at her command, if Gu Qingcheng were not a woman, her rise to the top would have been so natural.
But Gu Qingcheng is a woman.
Not to mention the noble families and powerful people in Jiankang, even within the Gu family, strange voices began to emerge.
"Although Gu's Aqing is capable, she is still a woman after all."
"Yes, yes, the Gu family has devoted all their efforts to this cause, not to make wedding clothes for others."
"Lord You'an doesn't just have Aqing as his granddaughter, he also has several grandsons."
"Yes, Aqing has two brothers and several nephews."
In the eyes of these people, Gu Qing had worked hard for ten years to build the Gu family's empire.
Now that Nan Chao has really changed his surname to Gu, it should be a young man from the Gu family who sits on that chair.
In order to take care of Gu Qing's emotions and the feelings of Gu Heng's branch, some members of the clan, claiming to be wise, proposed that Gu Qing's brothers and nephews take over.
The throne still belonged to the legitimate line, and the emperor also had Gu Qing's closest relatives to sit on it, so Gu Qing and her relatives did not work in vain.
This not only takes into account etiquette, but also takes into account the personal feelings of the Gu family. The clan members feel that this is the best way to have the best of both worlds.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I heard you fart!
In fact, not to mention Gu Qingcheng, even elders like Gu Heng and Gu Yi had never thought of letting other men in the family seize the world that belonged to Aqing.
They knew very well that from the initial conquest of Lingnan, to the subsequent garrison of Jiangling, and now the recovery of the capital... all were due to Aqing's efforts.
Except for her gender, she has all the advantages.
Even gender is not necessarily a disadvantage.
Gu Heng and Gu Yi knew their granddaughter (daughter) too well. She was definitely not an ordinary woman.
It’s not at all like “girls are outward-looking” as many people worry.
Even if love is involved, Aqing will definitely be the one who benefits.
For example, Chen Duan in the past, and Wang Qi now.
Especially Wang Qi, this madman who dared to kill the king in public, he stood in the court with a big knife in his hand.
He was the first to kneel down and shouted to Gu Qingcheng, "Long live His Majesty."
