Chapter 137 The Palace Banquet Approaches
Gu Runci had no time to care about the Zhou family's affairs. After Lu Enyan and Lu Hanyue left, Old Qin sent Luqi back.
When the Gu family heard Gu Ruanci call Master Qin "senior brother", they were all dumbfounded.
"Little sister, are you Qin Ji?"
"Sister, is Qin Ji you too?"
Gu Yuting and Gu Yuxuan really couldn't control their mouths and couldn't help but ask.
Only Gu Yulou was relatively normal. He crossed his arms and said, "Do you still need to be shocked by the fact that my little sister is awesome? If one day she said she could beat me, I would believe her."
Gu Congyun rolled his eyes at him and said, "Your little sister has skinny arms and legs, and you really need her to do it herself?"
"Father, I was just speaking as an analogy."
The Gu family used this method to ease the embarrassment, and finally discovered that Luqiqin was indeed there.
They were not hallucinating or dreaming.
"Soft words, you really gave us too many surprises."
Zhuang Hefeng didn't mind at all that Gu Ruanci had been hiding it from them. After all, revealing any of these identities would cause a sensation.
"That's right. From now on, I can follow my sister and walk around the Imperial State with my free will. I'll be Little Medical Fairy and Qin Ji..."
After Gu Yuxuan finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and quickly looked at Master Qin.
Qin Lao stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Young Master. Imperial Physician Zang and I are fellow apprentices, but we each specialize in our own fields."
Gu Congyun couldn't help but sigh: "Your master must be an unparalleled master, that chess master..."
He thought of the important people who showed up at the Gu family's reception for Gu Ruanci.
"That's my junior fellow apprentice, so naturally we're from the same sect..."
Since they had already guessed it, Master Qin did not try to be mysterious.
The Gu family became even more excited, especially curious about Gu Ruanci's master.
"Soft words, then who exactly is your master?" Zhuang Hefeng couldn't help but asked.
Gu Ruanci reminded her, "Mother, my mother took me to Changbai Mountain to find a master..."
Gu Congyun suddenly had an idea and said, "Changbai Fairy Mountain, Yaochi of Creation, Jade Sage..."
Zhuang Hefeng had obviously heard of this name before, but he never expected that the person who had taken a fancy to Ye Hesheng back then would be such a hermit.
"If this news gets out, I'm afraid some people will be jealous to death."
Gu Yuting said something pertinent. After all, Master Yuxian was really too famous.
But no one had ever thought of connecting her with Gu Ruanci.
Legend has it that this real person is already over a hundred years old. She usually lives next to Tianchi Lake, but most of the time she travels around the world. Therefore, many people may not be able to find her even if they go looking for her. Moreover, the place where she lives is very secluded. Others only know that it is next to Tianchi Lake. As long as she doesn't want to see you, you will never be able to find her.
The imperial court had sent people to look for her in the past, hoping to have her come down the mountain to serve as Dayao's imperial teacher, but they had no success.
Unexpectedly, her disciples had already become famous in the Imperial State, and each of them was at the top level.
The Gu family didn't know how to describe their feelings. It was like they had found a treasure.
"Little sister, it must be very hard to learn so many things in ten years, right?"
Gu Yulou suddenly said something, his tone was particularly sincere.
Zhuang Hefeng slapped him and said, "We're just having a good time here, and you insist on being sentimental. We're the only ones who care about how high she flies, while you only care about whether she's tired. It seems like you understand human nature, but we're all cold-blooded, right?"
Gu Ruanci chuckled, and Gu Yuxuan also looked at his third brother with a smile on his face.
"Third brother, you are too scheming..."
Gu Yuting said, "I guess my third brother hasn't reacted yet..."
Seeing them making a fuss again, even Old Qin was a little dazed. He thought to himself, if the Zhou family knew that this honor was originally related to them, how much would they regret it?
Mr. Qin didn't stay for too long and left directly.
"The people who followed Master Qin have been dealt with, don't worry, County Lady."
When Zang Xia came to report, the Gu family was urging Gu Ruanci to play a song.
Gu Ruanci whispered that he understood and let her go first.
Under the pear tree, Gu Runci was sitting there in a plain long dress, looking ethereal. Luqi's voice was long and distant, and the music was even more pleasant to the ears.
"If Zhou Yuqi knew that he lost the music competition that day to the little sister he usually disliked the most, he would be furious."
Gu Yuting thought of the day of the duel of music when Qin Ji mysteriously disappeared.
All the prizes that day were given to the Gu family, and now everything can be explained.
"His hand is already broken, so he won't be able to play the piano anymore. I heard that the Zhou family is trying to find the Little Medical Fairy. It's hilarious. They've already offended the Little Medical Fairy..."
Gu Yuxuan also said something, feeling particularly relieved.
Gu Ruanci did not reveal that it was actually Lu Enyan who did the trick on Zhou Yuqi at her request, and the Zhou family had no ability to find out anyway.
"If I can watch Madam Zhang die, I can watch Zhou Yuqi's hands never be able to play the piano again. My mother's life is between me and the Zhou family, and there will never be a way to resolve it."
After Gu Ruanci finished speaking, Zhuang Hefeng couldn't help but feel sad again.
But she was also happy for her friend. After giving birth to three ungrateful children, she finally welcomed a little one.
The news that the Zhou family was searching for the Little Medical Fairy spread throughout Dizhou within a few days. The news that Qin Lao had taken Luqi to the vicinity of Shouguo Mansion that day and then mysteriously disappeared also gradually spread. The Gu family did not deliberately cover up this matter, but let it develop. Anyway, no one would believe that Gu Ruanci was Qin Ji.
"Does Qin Ji live in the Duke of Shou's Mansion?" Someone guessed correctly, but not completely.
"That shouldn't be the case. If Qin Ji was at the Gu family, the news would have spread long ago. Furthermore, someone from the Gu family went there that day, but it didn't look like they knew who Qin Ji was. Perhaps she just happened to be staying nearby, and with the Shouguo Mansion as a shield, she could naturally live freely."
"But I heard that Qin Ji's name never appeared on the list of guests for the palace banquet. Can we really trust what Master Qin said that day?"
"I don't know about that. Anyway, we can't see the palace banquet. Even these officials can't sneak in without some status, let alone bring their families."
"Is it possible that they went in under the guise of some large family and then performed their art? Wouldn't the Shouguo Mansion be very convenient? Zhou San's hand was crippled, so the Chaoyang County Lady, in order to strike him down, hired Qin Ji at a high price to specifically provoke the Third Young Master."
Someone else casually told the truth, but when he said it, he didn't believe it himself.
These days, no matter how things develop outside, the Gu family does not pay attention, the Zhou family is still busy, and the Prince Duan's Mansion is undercurrent. Lu Wenxue is already planning how to use the Prince Duan's power to force Qin Ji to accept her as a disciple, and then get Luqi in the future.
As the palace banquet approaches, the eldest son Gu Yutang, whom the Gu family has been looking forward to, finally enters the city.
