Chapter 120: Competing for Concubine
Before he could say the rest of the words, Gu Jinxi's mouth was covered by Gu Jingchun.
She smiled awkwardly.
"Haha, kid, that's just nonsense, don't take it seriously."
When Luo Ziqian saw Gu Jingchun's smile, his face flushed and even his heart beat faster.
He looked at Gu Jingchun and had completely forgotten about his business. He hurriedly asked Gu Jingchun what she wanted to do. After Gu Jingchun told him, he offered to accompany her.
Gu Jingchun naturally did not refuse.
The two of them walked side by side on the road, and Gu Jingchun was leading an exquisite baby, which unknowingly attracted a lot of people's attention.
Someone recognized Gu Jingchun and guessed Luo Ziqian's identity.
Before, because he half-covered his face, people around him were just amazed but didn't know who he was.
Now that his identity was guessed, there was a burst of exclamations in an instant.
Luo Ziqian is no longer the playboy that everyone hated.
Instead, she is the object of great respect and favor among the girls in Tiandu.
From the eighty-year-old grandmother to the three-year-old child, no one did not know about Luo Ziqian.
He is now the dream lover of thousands of girls.
To the extent that he now "accidentally" runs into many women when he goes out on the street.
What's more, his current attire naturally attracted a lot of women to watch.
The separation between men and women in this dynasty was not strict, and women could boldly pursue their own happiness.
So, soon, several women followed Luo Ziqian.
They didn't care that Gu Jingchun was present at all. They told Luo Ziqian about their love for him and looked at him with affectionate eyes, hoping that Luo Ziqian would take them into his room.
Some of them were even bolder and recommended themselves directly to Gu Jingchun, hoping that Gu Jingchun could help Luo Ziqian marry them.
He also repeatedly assured that he would treat Gu Jingchun with respect in the future, serve him wholeheartedly, and never overstep the boundaries.
This made Gu Jingchun, who was always knowledgeable, a little overwhelmed and his face changed again and again.
She didn't expect that Luo Ziqian would be so popular now.
The reason why she chose Luo Ziqian was because of his homosexuality and his precarious reputation.
But now, both of these points no longer exist, and he has become a humble young man with a promising future.
This made her even more resistant to the marriage.
She sighed in her heart. Seeing that more and more people gathered around her, she was afraid of hurting Gu Jinxi, so she had to tell Luo Ziqian in advance and prepared to leave first.
Luo Ziqian was "surrounded" by a group of people and could not move at all. He could only watch Gu Jingchun walk away.
And in the alley not far away.
Chen Hechuan looked at this scene with satisfaction, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
And beside him, Tianji was giving silver to a woman passing by.
"Girl, just go to the young man in front and ask him to be your concubine, and this ingot of silver will be yours."
"Yes, it's that simple. The harder you work, the more he'll be overwhelmed, and the more money you'll earn."
"Don't worry, he won't really let you be his concubine. You only need to talk and the silver will be yours. What a great opportunity, why not take action quickly?
Don’t miss it if you pass by.”
And at this time in Shou'an Hall.
The Queen Mother frowned and sighed.
Li Ma, who was beside her, took away the food that had barely been touched and could not help but advise:
"Your Majesty, no matter how worried you are, you must eat something. Otherwise, if you starve to death, His Royal Highness's situation will become even more difficult."
The Queen Mother waved her hand upon hearing this.
"Now the situation is urgent, how can I eat?"
She was feeling upset and couldn't help but say out loud everything that was on her mind.
"It's obviously a happy thing that Hechuan has a child.
But now, for Xier's safety, he couldn't make it public.
Not only can we not bring him to our side, but now we are asking him to recognize someone else as his father. How can this be allowed?"
The Queen Mother was filled with bitterness.
At the beginning, when she learned that Chen Hechuan was still obsessed with Gu Jingchun, she was afraid that Gu Jingchun would affect Chen Hechuan's position as crown prince and his reputation, and she wanted to facilitate her marriage with Luo Ziqian.
But who could have imagined that Gu Jingchun would give birth to such a big son for the prince.
This made the marriage a hot potato.
She would never let her great-grandson recognize Luo Ziqian as his father.
However, this marriage was granted by Emperor Rongcheng himself, and he issued a second decree to urge the marriage.
Moreover, because of Shen Hechuan's disobedience, Emperor Rongcheng kept his word and there was no possibility of changing it.
Now that the marriage is imminent, even if she goes to see Emperor Rongcheng, it will definitely not change.
Can……
Thinking about the news I just received.
Chen Hechuan has not returned since leaving the palace yesterday.
I guess he is staying with Gu Jingchun now.
According to Chen Hechuan's personality, I'm afraid this marriage will definitely not be successful.
When the Queen Mother thought of this, she couldn't help but feel even more worried.
She couldn't just watch Shen Hechuan disobey her orders.
So how should we change this situation?
Seeing the Queen Mother's worry, Nanny Li could not help but slowly remind her:
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor went to Jingyu Palace a few days ago."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly stood up and looked at Nanny Li in surprise.
"Jingyu Palace?"
"The Queen's chambers?"
Nanny Li nodded.
"Not only His Majesty went, but Consort Hui also went."
"However, just after entering for a while, he was called back by His Majesty.
Moreover, I also heard that His Majesty scolded Concubine Hui that day, and His Majesty has not visited her palace since then."
"For this reason, Concubine Hui has been putting in a lot of effort in front of His Majesty these past few days."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled slightly.
"I had forgotten her."
"I think only she can resolve this situation now."
"Let's go, let's go to Jingyu Palace to join in the fun."
Having said that, the Queen Mother stood up, had someone support her, and went straight to Jingyu Palace.
And at this time in Jingyu Palace.
Jiang Xianhao was sitting upright in the pavilion.
In front of her was an ancient and exquisite guqin.
Her eyes were fixed on the piano, her fingers were raised but did not put them down.
Jingtan and Yunshu, who were standing by, couldn't help but murmur when they saw this.
"Your Majesty, you haven't played the piano for many years. How could you be in the mood to play today?"
"Keep your voice down. Haven't you noticed that the Queen has been in a much better mood recently?"
"Indeed."
Jing Tan whispered, "It seems that since His Majesty came that day, the Queen's mood seems to be much better than before."
"He doesn't look as lifeless as before."
Yun Shu nodded.
"I feel the same way."
"This harp was given to me by His Majesty.
I heard that it was made by His Majesty himself, and the Empress liked it very much. In the past, she would take it out and wipe it from time to time.
But since I moved to Jingyu Palace, I haven’t played it again.”
As the two were talking, they heard the eunuch shout loudly, and then the courtyard door was pushed open.
