The study of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the end, Cui Yuewei and Prime Minister Shen parted ways unhappily.
Rarely, Cui Yuewei did not follow Prime Minister Shen's wishes, and did not even agree on the surface.
There was already a hint of murderous intent in Prime Minister Shen's eyes. If the lady was stupid and refused to listen, then there was no need to keep her.
general's house.
As Gu Qichuan was recuperating from his injury and did not need to go to court, he had nothing to do, so he spent every day with Alisu. In a blink of an eye, they had been married for more than half a month.
One day half a month later, the Queen Mother's decree arrived at the General's Mansion, allowing the young couple to go to the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother arranged our marriage. I thought she would let us meet her very early, but I didn't expect that we would enter the palace half a month after the marriage." said Ali.
Gu Qichuan rubbed the top of Ah Li's head, "The Queen Mother is a very kind old lady. She has been supporting you for a long time. She summoned us to the palace half a month after the wedding. It is also to give us time to spend together as a young couple."
Ah Li nodded, "What kind of people are the emperor and the empress?"
Gu Qichuan thought for a moment and said, "The emperor is a wise ruler. The queen is from a military family and is very decisive in her actions. The concubines in the harem are also sensible and no one wants to shake the queen's position."
"The Emperor and the Empress are young couples, and they have been in love since childhood. The Emperor has always been wary of the Empress over the years. If it weren't for the fact that his status meant he had to have more children, the Emperor wouldn't have so many concubines in his harem," said Gu Qichuan.
Ah Li pursed her lips slightly. She came from the modern era, so naturally she could only accept being with one person for the rest of her life.
She looked at Gu Qichuan, who immediately said, "Although I have come to ancient times, my thoughts are the same as yours. There won't be three wives and four concubines, or concubines. Don't worry."
The corners of Ah Li's lips curled up. Gu Qichuan understood her. She couldn't stand such humiliation. The two of them entered the palace while talking.
Before entering the palace, Ah Li pulled Gu Qichuan's sleeve and said, "We have already delayed for half a month, so the second volume of the book can be sent out now."
"Okay." Gu Qichuan responded and immediately ordered Songbai to send someone to do it.
When Gu Qichuan and A Li entered the palace, the second volume of the storybook that was popular outside the palace was finally published.
After the whole story is fully presented, it is the story of Prime Minister Shen and his original wife.
However, Ali made some adjustments when she was writing. The original wife did not die, but faked her death. She later returned to the capital to take revenge on the scumbag and the bitch. She fought back all the way and became rich, beautiful, and had a lover. She lived an enviable life.
Queen Mother's Palace.
When Gu Qichuan and Ali arrived, the Queen Mother, two other concubines, as well as the Empress, the Imperial Concubine and others were all there.
Ali bowed respectfully to everyone.
"Hurry up, Ali, and come here." The Queen Mother waved to Ali.
Ah Li obediently walked to the Queen Mother's side and was pulled by the Queen Mother to sit beside her.
"Ari, these two are Concubine Qi and Concubine Ming, and these are the Empress, Imperial Concubine, and Imperial Concubine."
Ah Li greeted everyone one by one.
"I've heard that General Gu married a beautiful woman. Today I see that her reputation is indeed true." The Queen said in a soft voice, and her eyes on Ah Li's face were very gentle.
Ah Li's cheeks were slightly red.
"I heard that Qi Chuan's injuries have been mostly cured by you?" said the Queen.
"So Ali's medical skills are indeed amazing." The Royal Concubine said.
Ali responded respectfully, "I only know a little bit."
"Ali, don't be so modest. You were able to cure Qi Chuan's serious injury, so you must know a little bit."
The Queen Mother and the Empress both enthusiastically pulled Ali to chat, and the two concubines also showed great kindness to Ali. They each gave Ali a generous gift for the meeting, and the Royal Consort and the Noble Consort were not stingy people.
Ali entered the palace empty-handed, but left with a lot of gains.
Even when she sat in the carriage, Ali was still a little dazed. These people seemed to be too friendly to her.
Gu Qichuan gently shook Ah Li's hand.
"The Empress Dowager and the Empress are friendly to you. The Dowager Consort, the Imperial Consort and the Noble Consort should all learn from them. The people in the harem are meticulous and complicated. We should avoid coming here in the future if we can." Gu Qichuan said.
Ali nodded. Although she didn't know as much about these people as Gu Qichuan did, she believed in Gu Qichuan.
Not long after the two left, the Queen Mother waved her hand to signal the two concubines and the Royal Consorts to go back and rest, leaving the Queen alone in the palace.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drank a cup of tea before they started talking about business.
"If Ali can really cure Qi Chuan, can we also ask her to treat my fifth brother?" the Queen asked tentatively.
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "If Ali can really cure Qi Chuan, then send your fifth brother to the general's mansion quietly."
The queen nodded, "It's just that it's not easy to do this without anyone noticing."
"As long as Qi Chuan is willing to cooperate, this won't be difficult."
"But will General Gu really hide this from the Emperor for the sake of his fifth brother?"
The Queen Mother sighed.
"I don't know. If I use all the means of coercion and inducement, maybe he will agree."
"But I don't want to treat Qi Chuan like this. I watched that child grow up. He has a good heart. Although he is loyal to the emperor, he is not a blindly loyal or filial person."
"I thought maybe we could be honest with each other."
The Queen was silent for a long time, "Mother, is this really possible?"
The Queen Mother nodded after a while, "If you are worried, let's make preparations. Qi Chuan's weak spot is Ah Li."
The queen nodded, "Today I see that girl is a pure and kind person, and General Gu is very protective of her. I really don't want to be the bad guy to such a perfect couple."
The Queen Mother gently patted the Queen's hand and said, "Neither we, the mother-in-law and I, are evil people. All we want is for your fifth brother to be safe."
"Now that the emperor is in a clear political position, most of the power in the court is already in his hands. Whatever we do now will be of no benefit to the court and the people."
"And your fifth brother himself does not want to get involved in the struggle for imperial power. He just wants to be a wealthy and idle person."
The queen sighed, "Yes, he wants to be a rich and idle person, but being born into the royal family means there are many things that are beyond your control."
The Queen Mother slowly stood up and said, "Yes, I have no choice."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stopped talking. The Queen Mother walked slowly inside. The Queen stood up, bowed in the direction of the Queen Mother, and then slowly left.
general's house.
Gu Qichuan and A Li were unaware of the Queen and Queen Mother's plans. They both received many gifts and were in a good mood.
In addition, the second volume of the storybook written by Ali had become popular throughout the capital and was sold out immediately after it was put on the shelves. Ali's lips curled up.
"This story still needs to be seen or heard by our Prime Minister Shen himself."
"I'll arrange it."
