Chapter 185 Opportunity
No one can prove that Gu Chen is a man, but also no one can prove that Gu Chen is a woman.

Because apart from Gu Chen's parents and nanny, no one has seen Gu Chen's real appearance.

Gu Chen's mother died when he was a few years old, and Gu Chen's father, Gu Chengping, also died a year ago in the Gu family extermination case.

As for Gu Chen's nanny...

To be honest, as far as Gu Chen is concerned, there is no such thing.

Gu Chen's mother also gave birth to Gu Chen outside. Knowing that she was going to die, she ran to the door of Gu's mansion and used the secret threat with Gu Chengping to bring Gu Chen into Gu's house.

There is no nanny, and his parents who know his identity have passed away, so his gender can only be judged from his childhood experience.

At least judging from the experience of the separation of the Gu family, the Gu family in Dan'an City really treated him as a man.

Gu Jixiu stroked his beard and pondered.

In fact, if this matter is normal, it doesn't matter whether Gu Chen is a man or a woman. Since Gu Jixiu has decided to train Gu Chen, he doesn't care about his gender.

But now it's different.

Emperor Qi'an obviously regarded Gu Chen as Zhao Muqiu's close friend, if he didn't clarify this issue, it would easily turn into a crime of deceiving the emperor.

This crime can be big or small. Although the power of the Gu family will not hurt the muscles and bones, there is no need to delay dealing with things that can be avoided until the end is inevitable.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Jixiu asked Gu Chengye:
"What about Ning Shun?"

"It should be resting in the mansion right now...Yesterday, my second brother and I wanted to test Ning Shun's identity, but Ning Shun refused. He probably thought we were insulting him with an excuse, so it should be in the room. It's stuffy."

"That's right. I have been bullied since I was a child. I haven't experienced much family affection. It's normal to have misunderstandings. In this way, you call him over and I'll take a look."

Gu Jixiu is going to meet Gu Chen.

Speaking of which, Gu Jixiu obtained Gu Chen's name, and there is some relationship between the two of them. According to their seniority, Gu Chen had to call Gu Jixiu Grandpa. At this moment, there is no problem for Gu Jixiu to see Gu Chen.

But Gu Chengye knew what it meant.

Even Gu's family, Gu Qiming, and Gu Qiyuan, the two grandsons of Gu Jixiu, had to notify him in advance if they wanted to see him, but Gu Chen had just arrived not long ago, and Gu Jixiu took the initiative to see Gu Chen.

The meaning here is different.

This proves that Gu Jixiu really values ​​Gu Chen very much, even more than Gu Chengye imagined.

Gu Chengye didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried out and called Gu Chen over.

Not long after, Gu Chengye brought Gu Chen in white to Gu Jixiu.

Gu Chen looked up at the old man sitting on the main seat, his heart trembled slightly, and he bowed his hands without daring to be negligent on the surface:

"Grassman Gu Qianchen, meet the prime minister—!"

"Hehe, we are all a family, so what do you do when you see others like this? According to seniority, I am still your second grandfather, Ning Shun, come here and let the second grandfather take a good look at you."

Gu Jixiu behaved very kindly, as if he was the grandfather next door.

He waved at Gu Chen and said with a smile.

Gu Chen hesitantly glanced at Gu Chengye next to him, and Gu Chengye said with a bit of hatred:

"Look what I do, go!"

"This... well..."

Gu Chen said cautiously, then carefully came to stand in front of Gu Jixiu.

Gu Jixiu smiled at Gu Chen, raised his hand and rubbed Gu Chen's head, but secretly looked at Gu Chen's body.

The body is thin and weak, not as strong as other men, and I don't know if it is the reason for the slow growth of the body due to poor eating when I was a child.

Her skin is as white as jade, and she seems to be more white and tender than ordinary women. Her face is white and red, and it looks like water can be squeezed out with just a pinch.

There is a faint fragrance on the body. This fragrance should be the smell of saponins used in bathing. It smells familiar and refreshing, giving people a comfortable feeling.

Looking at her face, although it can't be said that it is a disaster to the country and the people, it is far beyond ordinary people. Whether it is a man or a woman with this face, it can be called a beauty.

If Gu Chen was a woman, Gu Jixiu would not doubt it, and if Gu Chen was a man, Gu Jixiu would also understand.

Male and female are indistinguishable, and they are talking about the current Gu Chen, so it's no wonder Zhao Muqiu misunderstood him.

Gu Jixiu stroked Gu Chen's head, and after a while he suddenly beckoned out his servants, took out the gift that seemed to have been prepared long ago and said:
"This is the first time we met, Second Grandpa didn't prepare any good gifts, so, take this brand."

Taking a token with the word 'Gu' from the tray, Gu Jixiu handed the token to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen took the token with both hands, looked at Gu Jixiu with some surprise, and asked:

"That... Lord Prime Minister..."

"Call me Second Grandpa! If you can't, you can just call me Grandpa, there's no need to be so special!"

Gu Jixiu straightened his face and said pretending to be displeased.

Gu Chen shrank his neck as if he was frightened, and then said:

"It's...Second...Second Grandpa, this token..."

"With this sign, you can go anywhere in the capital except for some secret places that are not allowed to enter. Seeing this sign is equivalent to seeing me in person."

Gu Jixiu said with a smile.

Gu Chen was startled, and hurriedly said: "This... this is not acceptable! I can't accept this, it is too expensive!"

"If I tell you to hold it, you can hold it. If you push around like this, don't you despise the gift I gave you?"

Seeing Gu Chen's careful look, Gu Jixiu pretended to be dissatisfied and said.

Gu Chen didn't dare to refuse immediately, and put away the sign tremblingly, as if he hadn't seen much of the world.

It wasn't until Gu Chen accepted the gift that Gu Jixiu nodded in satisfaction. He waved his hand to let Gu Chen find a place to sit down, and then asked seemingly the same:
"Ning Shun, I heard...the princess invited you to go hunting in spring?"

"Yes... yes, Second Grandpa also knew about this?"

"I know, the Royal Spring Hunting is a major event. You must know that apart from the guards of the Holy Majesty, even we are not qualified to go there. It is your ability to be invited by the princess. You must cherish this opportunity."

Gu Jixiu drank tea and said.

In fact, it's not that I don't have the qualifications, it's that I don't have the physical strength to go hunting.

In terms of qualifications, Gu Jixiu and other veterans must have the qualifications to accompany Emperor Qi'an to go spring hunting, but they don't know martial arts, and they are old and frail, so they force themselves to go hunting on horseback. If you die, you will be disabled.

So these old people are not qualified in terms of age, and the younger officials are not qualified to hunt with the Holy Majesty in terms of rank.

Therefore, every spring hunting, most of them are from the royal family, and only occasionally a few young officials who are admired by Emperor Qi'an will have the opportunity to be invited to the scene.

Or those who have a good relationship with the children of the royal family, such as the current Gu Chen, are also eligible to enter.

This is a great opportunity for these young people.

Because I was able to meet Emperor Qi Andi.

And once Emperor Qi'an takes a fancy to him, the day of great success will not be far away.

"Ning Shun will cherish this opportunity."

Gu Chen said seriously.

Regardless of his superficial identity or his secret identity, Gu Chen wanted to contact Emperor Qi Andi, so he would naturally cherish this opportunity.

Gu Jixiu nodded, then suddenly asked:
"However, from what Her Royal Highness said, you seem to be her close friend?"

"That's true."

Gu Chen nodded.

Gu Jixiu asked again: "And Her Royal Highness said that you are a woman, this matter..."

Gu Chen's face darkened, but it seemed that he was concerned about the identity of the other party, and he didn't dare to show his face openly, but his face was a little ugly and he said:

"...The princess misunderstood me. I kept saying that I was a man, but Her Royal Highness didn't seem to believe me."

Gu Jixiu smiled and said: "Hehe, let alone Her Royal Highness, even I had some doubts just now, whether you are a girl or not, but it doesn't matter."

"?"

Gu Chen was stunned.

unimportant?
He thought that Gu Jixiu, like Gu Chengye and the others, came to confirm his gender, but now Gu Jixiu said it was not important?
Gu Chen was stunned, but Gu Jixiu continued:

"Whether you are a man or a woman, the most important thing is that you have left a deep impression on Her Royal Highness, and you must maintain this impression, no matter what the price is."

"...Even if the princess thinks I'm a woman?"

"So what?" Gu Jixiu said with a smile: "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters, the most important thing for you now is to have a good relationship with His Highness, and when you get along well with His Highness, your gender will not matter afterward. "

It seems that Gu Jixiu is a pragmatist, he will not explore what Gu Chen's real gender is, what he really cares about is what Gu Chen can use this 'misunderstanding' to bring to the Gu family.

As long as Gu Chen can use his female identity to benefit himself and the Gu family, then it's okay to let Gu Chen wear women's clothing.

Gu Chen could tell that Gu Jixiu should have such thoughts.

This is similar to Danzo's way of thinking. Although Gu Chen also decided to do what Danzo said, he must at least show dissatisfaction on the surface.

He pursed his lips, a little aggrieved, and a little resentful:

"But Second Grandpa, I...I really..."

"I didn't say you were not, but Ning Shun, you have to remember that no matter what your real gender is, in front of the Holy One, you must go along with his words and obey him. Only in this way...you can survive."

Gu Jixiu said to Gu Chen seriously at the end.

That's right, after seeing Emperor Qi'an, Gu Chen's gender is no longer important, what matters is what Emperor Qi'an said.

If Gu Chen didn't want to cause trouble for himself or the Gu family, he had to follow Emperor Qi'an's words.

No matter what the other party said about Gu Chen.

After all, Emperor Qi'an was not a wise emperor, he was arbitrary, and he even dared to slaughter the people of the four prefectures for the sake of cultivating immortals. Gu Chenruo really dared to disobey Emperor Qi'an.

Unless he exposes himself desperately and resists openly, otherwise he can only obey.

This is probably what Gu Jixiu wanted to say to Gu Chen.
