"Is it that serious?"
"It seems that as a sister, I can't just sit back and watch."
Gu Shufei smiled, put down the medical book, put on her cloak and stepped out of Bixia Courtyard.
Early the next morning.
"I'm still in the mood to have a meal. Your sister is lying unconscious on the bed now. Why don't you, a sister, know how to care about her?"
Mrs. Hu cried and complained as she looked at Gu Shufei who was sitting at the table eating.
"Didn't I go see it last night? I remember my mother said there was no need for my 'fake kindness', right?"
Seeing the two of them bickering with each other, Gu Yuanzheng, who was already in a good mood, interrupted.
"Why are you talking back? Just listen to what mother is teaching you."
"Then if my mother asked me to jump into the lake, I would do it right away?"
Gu Shufei was in a very good mood early in the morning and asked innocently.
"You rebellious girl is unreasonable! Go back to your yard."
Gu Yuanzheng slammed the table, and the crisp sound of dishes sounded in the hall.
"Master, please stop being angry."
Mrs. Hu stopped sobbing and comforted her softly.
Gu Shufei didn't care at all. After finishing her meal, she wiped her lips and left.
Early the next morning, Gu Shufei was woken up by the maid's gossip outside.
"What are you talking about outside, so excited?"
Cuiyan pursed her lips, "It's a lie spread by someone in the house. Miss, don't take it to heart."
"Let me hear what nonsense you are talking about. I'm very curious."
"Some people say that the eldest princess wants to bring the second lady into the palace to read to the princess in order to make up for the trouble."
Cuiliu spoke cautiously from the side.
"Reading with you?" Gu Shufei repeated to make sure she heard correctly.
Seeing the two girls nodded moodily, they then smiled and said,
"Gu Shuyan is lying on the bed half-dead, can she still be a companion?"
Seeing that Gu Shufei didn't care, the two girls became anxious, "The eldest lady is already...if the second lady really enters the palace, then the eldest lady's life will be even more difficult in the future."
"They also said that the young lady is a waste and can't compare to the second young lady no matter what."
Gu Shufei also understood that the two girls were sincerely good to her and did not care about the disrespect in their words.
He just smiled at the two of them comfortingly.
Cuiyan answered with red eyes. She heard that the second lady woke up after sleeping for a few days. After hearing the news, she used strong medicine on herself to get better. "
"I'm not willing to do it to myself."
Clumsy and ruthless.
"I'm afraid that in the end, it will be all in vain."
Gu Shufei wasn't paying attention there. These days she seemed to have returned to modern times, shutting herself in her room and concentrating on writing her thesis.
Inside Xuan Shu Courtyard.
Mrs. Hu picked up a newly made dress and made gestures on Gu Shuyan's body. Then she put it down and murmured, "The color of this dress is not bright enough for my son."
She picked up another set and said, "Shuyan, go and change into this set and try it out."
Gu Shuyan obediently picked up her dress and went behind the screen to change.
"Mom, look at my hairpins and see if any of them are suitable?"
"I don't want to be laughed at when Dai enters the palace."
A charming female voice came from behind the screen.
"Okay, okay, if those hairpins don't work, my mother has better ones. How about my son going to the warehouse and picking them at will?"
Mrs. Hu looked at the screen with a motherly smile and urged, "Come out quickly, mother, take a look."
"Does it look good?"
Gu Shuyan walked around in front of Mrs. Hu and looked at her uneasily.
Mrs. Hu smiled slightly and said, "My son must be the most beautiful."
"Then I'll pass on this set of clothes. Mother, please help me pick out the hairpins and sachets."
While the two were choosing jewelry, Gu Yuanzheng came to the inner courtyard.
"Are you ready? The messenger from the palace will come to read the imperial edict in the afternoon."
"So fast?"
Mrs. Hu looked at Gu Shuyan and urged her to put her clothes in order, while she went to the front hall with Gu Yuanzheng.
"If I hadn't been well-informed, I'm afraid we would have been negligent when the messenger came."
Mrs. Hu looked at Gu Yuanzheng with a smile.
When she was young, she was also a beauty full of poems and books. Now that she is older, the charm in her eyes has only increased, and she has never failed when she deliberately wanted to please Gu Yuanzheng.
Gu Yuanzheng felt very unhappy when his wife looked at him with such admiring and loving eyes.
"It's a blessing for you to take care of your children."
If I were not well-informed, how would I know such news?
In the past few days, people in the court came to compliment him from time to time, saying that the daughter he gave birth to was good. He was not completely sure and did not dare to tell Hu the news in advance.
Now it seems that those people are just trying to curry favor with themselves in advance.
Gu Yuanzheng stroked his beard with satisfaction, and then patted Hu who was leaning next to him.
Gu Shufei, who happened to be walking in the garden, saw the warm scene in front of her and said nothing.
He just curled up his lips and snorted sarcastically.
Your warmth has never been without Gu Shufei. Now that I am standing here, it is Gu Shufei who has come to collect debts from you.
Three quarters in the afternoon.
The concierge came to report, and the palace messenger came to announce the decree.
Upon hearing the news, Gu Yuanzheng and Mrs. Hu, who had been prepared for a long time, hurriedly called Gu Shuyan to greet her in the front hall.
"Is Prime Minister Gu's family complete?"
A eunuch wearing a blue robe looked at Gu Yuanzheng with a shrill voice.
Gu Yuanzheng put his hands behind his back and looked around and said, "Eunuch Liu can declare the decree."
The father-in-law surnamed Liu looked at the two female relatives kneeling below and asked, "We remember that Prime Minister Gu has two daughters. Could it be that our memory is wrong?"
"My father-in-law remembered correctly, it's just that the older one made a mistake recently and was grounded."
Grounded?
Eunuch Liu sneered and looked at Gu Yuanzheng, "The Prime Minister doesn't know something. This imperial edict specifies that Mr. Gu's family must be in our house in order to declare the edict."
Hearing this, Gu Shuyan and Mrs. Hu, who were kneeling below, were slightly stunned.
"Eunuch, what do you mean?" Gu Shufei stood up and looked at Eunuch Liu aggrievedly.
Eunuch Liu had never seen anyone in the palace, and he understood it as soon as he saw the battle.
Prime Minister Gu confused the person who received the order, but he didn't mention anything.
Hearing the remarks of the second young lady of the Gu family, Eunuch Liu's face darkened and he scolded, "What a shame. It's your turn to question our family's affairs."
Eunuch Liu was a popular figure in front of the emperor, and even Gu Yuanzheng had to give him face at certain times.
Now that he was being questioned by a little girl, Eunuch Liu naturally didn't look good.
Gu Yuanzheng reacted immediately when he saw Eunuch Liu was angry, "This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Mrs. Hu also tried to persuade her, "Eunuch Liu, why should you argue with an ignorant little lady?"
After Gu Yuanzheng personally spoke a few words of persuasion to Eunuch Liu, his expression improved, "Okay, hurry up and invite people out. Our family is going to read out the imperial edict."
"Miss, Miss, someone from the front hall is asking you to come over. They say that the envoy to read the imperial edict has arrived."
Cuiyan hurriedly panted and looked at Gu Shufei.
"Let's go."
Gu Shufei calmly walked to the front hall.
