Soon, the nanny in Gu Yanran's room packed up her things and threw the bundle directly on the ground.
Gu Yanran gritted her teeth and went to pick up her things. The old lady spoke for the last time, "Think it over clearly. Today, when you step into the palace, I will not care whether you live or die in the future." Gu Yanran hesitated for a moment as she touched the bundle, but she finally held it tightly. She looked at the old lady and said, "Old lady, don't worry. I will definitely be very successful in the future and make you look at me with new eyes!"
After saying that, he picked up his bag and turned away.
Old Lady Xu sighed, and at that moment, her entire spirit and energy seemed to be gone. Shen Qingqiu had been quietly standing by, and she knew that the old lady must be in a bad mood at the moment, otherwise she would have slapped her mouth to pieces when Gu Yanran just called her a bitch.
"Forget it, forget it. From now on, there will be no such person in the Gu family." The old lady shook her head.
Shen Qingqiu lowered her head. She knew that at this moment, Old Madam Xu was truly disappointed with Gu Yanran.
——
After finishing the work outside the palace, he would go into the palace to start studying with his father.
Perhaps because too many things had happened in the past few days, Shen Qingqiu was calm for a long time when he entered the palace again. He attended classes with the Ninth Princess and Changhe County Lord every day. After class, he would go to Gu Yanwei's yard to sit for a while, either eating a few bunches of grapes or asking Wang Xi to bring some grape juice.
Five or six months passed quickly.
Soon, heavy snow began to fall all over the sky again.
During this period, she had not seen Gu Yanran much in the palace. Gu Yanran was the companion of the eleventh princess. After Master Lin recovered from his illness, he had to attend the morning court and rarely went to the harem to take care of the children. However, he fell in love with Gu Yanwei and told the emperor that he wanted to be Gu Yanwei's teacher.
How many Shen Qingqiu... I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck, he usually likes to go to Gu Yanwei's palace to steal some grapes, and happened to be caught by Master Lin, and directly got the most strict master in the world. After being caught by Master Lin, he started a separate small class.
Although the Ninth Princess did not like the strictness of Master Lin, she was even more lazy to get involved with Princess Yongping and her group. After discussing with Shen Qingqiu and Princess Changhe, she felt that it would be a good idea to stay with Master Lin.
Except there are too many courses.
"It's winter now, why do I have to copy it ten times? My hands are going to freeze to death!" The Ninth Princess rubbed her hands while copying the book, but as soon as she turned around, her eyes widened! She saw Shen Qingqiu straightening his back and concentrating on copying the book. He was very serious, but not that serious.
She wrote quickly with a pen in each hand, and from time to time she took a sip of tea brought by the palace maid.
"Qiu'er——" The Ninth Princess still thought that she was messing around, and was about to say that Master Lin was very strict and that messy things should not be handed in, but when she looked closer, she saw that the white paper was already filled with words, and not only were the words neatly written, there was not even a speck of dirt.
The girl's thin and outlined chin was set against the faint light of the white paper, which made people look a little dazed. The Ninth Princess was also stunned for a moment. Why didn't she realize that Qiu'er was so beautiful before? Then she looked down again, "Qiu'er, you, you!"
Shen Qingqiu looked back suspiciously, "What's wrong with me?"
Then the Ninth Princess pointed at the area on her chest that had been growing rapidly these days. Shen Qingqiu sighed slightly, "You've been eating too much during this period."
Isn't this a bit too much? The Ninth Princess looked at Shen Qingqiu's increasingly beautiful face and couldn't help but wrinkled her nose: "You are half a head taller than me now, you must have eaten something secretly!" Shen Qingqiu has grown rapidly in the past six months, and now looks like a young girl of normal age.
But the Ninth Princess was weak and grew slower than ordinary people. Not to mention Princess Changhe, who was so fat that her figure could not be seen.
Shen Qingqiu couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I'm with you guys every day, what should I eat? If there really is a reason, it's because you guys were too lazy to get up in the morning. Why didn't you go to practice when I asked you to?"
Having said this, the Ninth Princess was speechless.
"Be quiet!" It was Master Lin who suddenly said, "When I go back later, anyone who hasn't finished copying will be punished with a slap on the hand!"
Suddenly the three girls inside stopped talking and started copying hard.
"Why is the Master so strict with them?" Gu Yanwei asked gently.
Gu Yanwei has changed a lot in half a year. If he used to have a childish look, he is now a serious teenager. Royal men are all tall, but Gu Yanwei is thinner than others due to his long-term illness, but it is also because of this that he has a more independent taste.
Master Lin said: "If jade is not carved, it cannot be made into a useful object."
Gu Yanwei said: "Kangle Xiangjun is smart, the Ninth Princess is gentle, and Changhe County Princess is innocent. If they are polished too much, they will lose their true nature."
Master Lin shook his head, "How can your Highness not understand? I am not talking about them, but you!" At this point, both of them became serious. Master Lin said, "The Crown Prince will be married after the New Year. Your Highness should know what it means, right?"
After the marriage, the Crown Prince will definitely start to take over some of the government affairs. With the support of Empress Pei, the position of the Crown Prince will become more and more stable.
Gu Yanwei chuckled, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy for the prince to get married."
"Oh?" Master Lin was puzzled.
"In order to gain power for the prince, Empress Pei not only provoked Princess Changping but also made friends with the Wang family. Both parties were unwilling to be inferior to others, but the prince only has one wife." Gu Yanwei said: "Empress Pei is a woman herself, but she looks down on women. One day, she will fall into the hands of the people she looks down on."
Master Lin was a little suspicious, "Your Highness, do you know something?"
Gu Yanwei shook his head, "I don't plan to take care of this matter." Instead of worrying about how to seize power, it is better to find ways to train yourself. "As the Grand Tutor said, if jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool. I have asked my father for permission to wipe out the bandits behind the White Dragon Temple."
The Bailong Temple is located in the suburbs of Beijing. After the incident involving Liu Dayong, the bandits recruited by Liu Dayong all fled to the back mountain, where the terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. As a result, half a year has passed, and the bandits, who totaled less than a thousand people, have not yet been arrested.
Shen Qingqiu didn't know about this, she just focused on copying books, the day off was coming soon, she didn't want to be kept in school.
After handing in the ten neatly written characters, even the picky Master Lin couldn't help but nod his head at her good handwriting. After a moment, he said, "Your handwriting is good, but you should pay attention in class in the future. If I catch you eating again, it won't be ten times."
Shen Qingqiu looked like she was being taught a lesson, but Master Lin had seen it too many times, and he made the same expression every time he knew he was wrong, so he raised his hand and let her go.
Later, it was not so easy for the Ninth Princess and the Princess of Changhe. They also imitated Shen Qingqiu to write with both hands, but they were not left-handed. Their handwriting with their right hand was not very good to begin with, and writing with both hands looked more like a dog crawling. Master Lin was so angry that he tore up the ten pages and told the two to start over.
You could hear the two people's wailing even from a long distance away.
Shen Qingqiu walked outside with a smile. Jin Cai was already waiting in the carriage. It was a bit windy outside, so she got in the carriage quickly. But the carriage had just taken a step when someone called for it to stop. Shen Qingqiu pulled back the curtain, and saw Gu Yanwei looking at her. He smiled and handed her a hand warmer, "You're a little late."
Ever since the weather turned cold, he would wait for me here every day off, either bringing me a heater or some food. Shen Qingqiu took it, "Thank you." As soon as he shook the heater, he found a banging sound inside.
Then he said, "There are roasted melon seeds in it. If you get bored on the road, you can open the knob and pour them out."
Shen Qingqiu was actually happy now, and kept playing with the stove. Seeing that it was getting dark, Jin Cai quickly bowed to Gu Yanwei, lowered the curtain and told the driver to go. She looked back halfway, but saw the Ninth Prince still standing there, looking at his own carriage.
Then she looked at the girl who was playing with a heater. When did the cute little girl grow up to be a girl? Jin Cai was an experienced person after all. If the Ninth Prince, who was watching her, had no evil intentions towards her girl, she would walk upside down.
What about the girl? "Girl, what do you think of His Highness the Ninth Prince?" Jin Cai asked tentatively.
Shen Qingqiu held the heater in his hand, turned the knob and poured out some melon seeds, which were fragrant and still steaming. He was immediately very satisfied with him, "Very interesting." He used to think he was a sickly person, but in fact he was very interesting. He would have all kinds of fun things in his hands every now and then.
Jin Cai's heart skipped a beat, so she simply asked, "Do you like him?"
Entering the palace is like entering a deep sea, especially for a girl like her, it is really not suitable for entering the palace! Shen Qingqiu looked up and was about to answer, but suddenly frowned, "What's the smell?"
Jin Cai screamed, and just as she was about to speak, her eyes rolled back and she fainted. Shen Qingqiu was just about to gather her strength, but suddenly she felt weak all over, and then there was a sudden piercing noise from the outside of the carriage, as if someone had forcefully turned the carriage around. Shen Qingqiu closed her eyes, she should have fainted like Jin Cai, but her body had long been immune to many poisons.
However, these low-class people even mixed some cartilage powder into it, and because of its low medicinal properties, it couldn't be cured in a short time.
Now he didn't know who had attacked him, and Shen Qingqiu didn't want to expose his true strength, so he simply lay on Jin Cai and pretended to faint. The carriage had been going for an unknown amount of time, and finally stopped at a place. Shen Qingqiu only felt that Jin Cai beside him seemed to be carried away by someone, and then someone carried him on his shoulders.
Only at this moment did she open her eyes and slowly looked around the place.
