Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 201
"Master, after Qinmei left the palace, she went to the prince's palace."

Gu Lingqing stood calmly at the desk, practicing her calligraphy. After hearing the report from the person kneeling on the ground, she just nodded lightly.
"This afternoon, Qingmei flirted with the prince at the gate of the prince's mansion, but the prince did not recognize her. The guards next to the prince are very skilled in martial arts, and the subordinates did not dare to stay longer. They left when they saw this place."

"Okay, I get it, you should step back first."

After the man left, Gu Lingqing put down the brush in her hand, walked to the window and opened it, feeling the cool wind blowing on her face.

He had guessed about Qinmei's origins a long time ago, but he just sent someone to confirm his guess.

Thinking of this, the corner of Gu Lingqing's mouth twitched into a sneer. It seems that this Qinmei really doesn't understand her master's nature. After failing in her mission, she would choose to go back and join Gu Qianqian. Isn't this asking for a dead end?

By throwing her out of the mansion, Zhao Min meant to give her a way out, she could find a place to hide her name and start a new life, but there are thousands of ways in this world, but she only chose this dead way.

"Qi'er, mother chooses and chooses, and always thinks that Mr. Zheng's daughter, Zheng Yihui, is the best choice."

Gu Qi sat on the side, his eyes glazed over, obviously his mind was not on this, and he didn't know where his thoughts drifted away.

"Qi'er!" Concubine Xian not only raised her voice a bit, but also waved her hand in front of Gu Qi, which successfully brought him back to his senses.

"Huh? What did mother just say?"

"Alas..." Seeing Gu Qi's state, Concubine Xian sighed deeply, and closed the booklet in front of her.

"Qi'er, mother also knows that it's difficult for you to marry a woman you haven't met a few times, but you were born in an emperor's family, and you can't allow yourself to decide some things. You must not follow your own heart. If you really follow your own heart, then it is really a bad thing."

The concubine Xian persuaded Gu Qi earnestly, only hoping that he would think about it and think about his future career.

I heard that Gu Qi has already thought about it now, he doesn't care who his princess is at all.

"Mother, I understand everything you said, just Ms. Zheng." Compared to other women I have never been in contact with, it is better to choose Zheng Yihui, at least the two of you have been in contact with each other. How disgusted to feel.

"Okay." When she heard that the ideal princess in Gu Qi's heart was consistent with her own choice, Concubine Xian finally showed a satisfied smile.

"By God, the emperor's edict said: The daughter of the Zheng family is skillful and generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. The queen mother and I are very happy to hear about it. When the seventh son of the emperor is ready to marry, he should choose a virtuous daughter to match him. It is worthy of Zheng Yihui to treat Yu. In the boudoir, you and the seventh son of the emperor can be said to be created by heaven and earth. In order to make a beautiful woman, you are specially betrothed to the seventh son of the emperor as the princess. All the etiquette will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor. Choose a good day to get married.

Announcement at home and abroad, salty to hear it.

this"

"Thank you, Lord Long En!" The Zheng family, young and old, knelt in the hall to receive the order.

After receiving the imperial decree, Master Zheng looked and looked, the joy on his face was very conspicuous.

"Master Zheng, our family has conveyed the emperor's will. We just need to wait for the Ministry of Rites to choose a good day, but Master Zheng also needs to make arrangements."

Mr. Zheng took a money bag from the servant next to him, and put it in Eunuch Li's hand: "Thank you, Eunuch Li."

Eunuch Li had a smile on his face, and he didn't shirk the money bag at all. After weighing the weight, he couldn't help smiling even brighter: "This is what our family should do. Since Mr. Zheng has received the order, we I don't want to stay at home any longer, and I have to go back to the palace to report to the emperor."

After Eunuch Li left, Mr. Zheng walked up to Zheng Yihui and said, "Daughter, you've done well."

Zheng Yihui just smiled slightly: "My daughter didn't do anything either."

Mr. Zheng didn't care, he was very happy, and looked at Mrs. Lin next to him, who was Zheng Yihui's mother: "I will take care of this matter from tomorrow, and I will leave everything to you."

After Mr. Zheng left, a whole yard of women was left behind. It can be said that there were joys and sorrows.

After Zhao Min learned of Gu Qi's engagement, her heart didn't fluctuate much.

It's just that she also understood in her heart that what Gu Qi said to herself that day was not a joke.

But for this, Zhao Min can only bury his thoughts deeply in his heart, pretending to be stupid on the surface, because he can't give him any response.

And now, after Zhao Min heard about Gu Qi's marriage contract, she just felt emotional in her heart, because now she was attracted by bigger things.

Although Yan Bei went to join the army, he still kept in touch with Zhao Min and Gu Lingqing, but there was indeed no news of him for nearly a month.

Zhao Min had previously asked Gu Lingqing to inquire about him, but the result he got surprised Zhao Min very much.

According to eyewitnesses, it was said that Yan Bei died suddenly on the spot because he couldn't stand the intensity of the training.

When they got the news, Zhao Min and Gu Lingqing glanced at each other, both of them had doubts in their eyes.

This is too much of a coincidence. Hou Enze, the shopkeeper's son, suddenly disappeared for this reason. I didn't expect that the same thing happened to Yan Bei again after a year.

In the past few days, Gu Lingqing has been inquiring about Yan Bei's news day and night, and has sent people to investigate both openly and secretly, just because Yan Dong is his right-hand man, and Yan Bei is his younger brother who he found with great difficulty. Such a thing happened under his nose, he had no face to face Yan Dong.

Zhao Min held the supper in his hand, saw that the study room was still bright, couldn't help sighing, walked forward, and gently knocked on the door.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Looking at Zhao Min who walked in, Gu Lingqing stood up from the chair and greeted her.

Gu Lingqing's eyes were obviously red and bloodshot, but Zhao Min's heart ached so much, after putting the tray in his hand on the table, he took his hand and sat down in front of the table, with some blame in his tone: "What's the matter?" Let’s deal with it tomorrow, take a look at you, don’t stay up all night if your spirit is so bad.”

Gu Lingqing knew that she was thinking about her own body, so she didn't refute immediately, and agreed: "Okay."

Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Min, Gu Lingqing finished the supper, and Zhao Min left, but Gu Lingqing did not fulfill her promise, and returned to the desk as before, looking at the letter written by her subordinates, her brows were frowned.
