Chapter 19 The Court Girl Wants to Be an Official for His Highness!
Gu Yuling bravely said what she had thought about several times in her heart.

After she finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at Qin Shuhuang, she clenched her palms tightly, waiting for Qin Shuhuang's "judgment".

Just when she was uneasy, she suddenly felt a pair of warm hands covering her tightly clenched hands. This warmth instantly dispelled the tension and fear in her body, and she couldn't help but look up at Her Highness the Princess.

"Third Sister, thank you for your reminder, and thank you for telling me about this. You don't have to worry. I didn't see clearly before. Now it's time for me to have a baby."

Qin Shuhuang didn't dislike her because of her words, but accepted her persuasion, and really became wary of the Gu family. Gu Yuling's eyes could not conceal surprise, but also relief and expectation.

She lowered her head slightly shyly and bit her lip, "Your Highness is wise. Even if I don't tell you, Your Highness should be aware of it."

Otherwise, the eldest princess would not suddenly decide to move to the eldest princess's mansion.

Gu Yuling took a deep breath, summoned up her courage and said, "Your Highness, you don't need to thank the courtier, the reason why the courtier wants to find an opportunity to talk to His Highness is also selfish..."

Gu Yuling generously told Qin Shuhuang of her selfishness, but it made people feel that she was more open.

No matter who it is, even a saint, there will be partiality and selfishness, not to mention that Gu Yuling is still struggling to survive under Mrs. Gu's hands. It is not normal to contact Qin Shuhuang and tell her that she has no selfishness.

Qin Shuhuang nodded, there was no surprise in his eyes but only encouragement, "Do you want to use this palace to find a good marriage?"

Even if Gu Yuling is a concubine who is not valued by her parents, she is still a daughter of the Gu family. On the surface, she was raised by Master Gu and Mrs. Gu. As long as she is not married, she is a member of the Gu family.

The only way for her to get rid of the Gu family is to marry into a good family, gain the support of her husband's family, take root in her husband's family, and draw a clear line with Mr. Gu and his wife.

After all, a married woman marries a chicken as the chicken marries a dog as the dog.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Qin Shuhuang's words, Gu Yuling shook her head quickly.

In desperation, she knelt in front of Qin Shuhuang, just like in her previous life, but what she wanted was completely different from her previous life.

"Although my daughter is lowly, she has never thought of entrusting her fate to a man! What I want, I can only fight for it myself. If I can't get it, I can only blame my daughter for not working hard enough. My daughter wants to ask Your Highness Give me a chance, I want to be by your side and be a little female official for you, I don't want to get married!"

Even Qin Shuhuang, who was born again, felt deafened when he heard Gu Yuling's words.

She looked down at the skinny young girl kneeling in front of her. Although she was small, she seemed to be shining.

Qin Shuhuang admired Gu Yuling's courage, and couldn't help reminding her, "Gu Yuling, have you thought about it? A female official cannot get married until she is 25 years old, and she has to be a female official next to me. Sister, misfortune and fortune are unpredictable in the future, and the future may not be as good as in the palace."

Gu Yuling thought that these words of hers could not be affirmed by the eldest princess, but she never thought that the eldest princess not only did not refute her, taught her to go out of line, but reminded her instead.

There were sparks in her eyes, like a desperate moth, flocking to the longing light.

She raised her head and stared at Qin Shuhuang with bright eyes, "Your Majesty, think it over. No matter what the result is in the future, I believe that as long as I work hard, I will not regret it. I also believe in Your Highness. Your Highness is not just a member of the Gu family." Daughter-in-law, but Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Dawu."

Qin Shuhuang nodded, and personally helped Gu Yuling up, "Since you have already made up your mind, I will give you this opportunity. There will be a selection of female officials in the palace next month, and I will let someone sign up for you, as long as you can live in the palace." After the selection by the ministers, I will assign you to work beside me."

Gu Yuling didn't expect that her desperate pursuit of the eldest princess really succeeded. She was so excited that she didn't know what to say, and suddenly thought that she had brought a gift. She turned around and took the brocade box from the maidservant, holding it in front of Qin Shuhuang with both hands, "Your Highness , I don’t have anything good, this is some needlework that I personally made, I hope His Highness will accept it.”

Qin Shuhuang took the brocade box and opened it. Inside was a picture of a spring scene embroidered by Gu Yuling himself. In the painting, spring waves are rippling, green mountains and fertile fields meet, and it looks like a peaceful peach blossom garden.

What is rare is that it is still double-sided embroidery, and the scenery on the front and back is slightly different.

Such embroidery requires not only superb embroidery skills, but also time. It may not be completed in less than a year.

Qin Shuhuang liked it very much, "In the afternoon, I will have someone take it and frame it as a screen and put it in the study."

Seeing the genuine smile on Qin Shuhuang's face, Gu Yuling knew that Her Majesty the Princess really liked her craftsmanship. Since everything went well today, she no longer bothered Her Majesty and was about to leave.

Shi Yu whispered outside to tell Qin Shuhuang that lunch is ready.

Gu Yuling was about to leave, but was left by Qin Shuhuang for lunch.

Qin Shuhuang glanced at Gu Yuling, and then ordered Shiyu to add a few more dishes to the kitchen.

Qin Shuhuang is good at medicine. Since Gu Yuling wants to work by her side, what can she do if she is not in good health? Usually, girls at her age have already developed, but looking at Gu Yuling's complexion, she just quietly checked her pulse. Sunflower water has not come yet.

Sitting at the same table with Qin Shuhuang for lunch, Gu Yuling was a little nervous. Although the table was full of her favorite dishes, Gu Yuling still controlled herself to only take a few bites.

Gu Yuling's actions were seen by Qin Shuhuang, she put down her chopsticks with some displeasure, and said: "Since you have decided to work with me, you don't have to hold back when it comes to eating, your body can still be nourished now, If we delay any longer, Hua Tuo will not be able to save him."

Gu Yuling looked at Qin Shuhuang in surprise, "Your Highness knows?"

Qin Shuhuang glanced at her and said, "When I was your age, I wanted to eat all kinds of delicious food."

Gu Yuling was embarrassed.

In order to prevent her aunt from falling in love with her in advance, she tried her best to restrain her desire for delicious food, and only ate a little bit for a meal. After a lot of effort, she became so hungry that she became thin and small, and she didn't look like a big girl when she was old, which led to the Now the sunflower water has not come yet.

She thought that as long as she didn't tell others about these things, no one would know about them, so how could she know that the eldest princess would see through them at a glance.

The various delicacies in front of her were full of aromas, many of which she had been coveting for a long time.

She didn't know how much control she had to hold back, but now that the eldest princess said it, all her patience was broken.

Gu Yuling couldn't help swallowing, "Since His Royal Highness has seen through it, I will not be polite."

Immediately, Gu Yuling put the pork ribs, roast duck, venison, etc. that he liked into the bowl, and his mouth was full of oil.

Taohua, who was standing behind her to serve her young lady, was dumbfounded and suddenly felt helpless.
