Chiyang subconsciously looked at Li Jingxing and saw him staring at Gu Qingzhi intently, seemingly dumbfounded. He seemed to be no different from those men obsessed with beauty, and he complained in his heart.
【Are you obsessed? 】
[Men are indeed animals that think with their lower bodies! 】
Li Jingxing was slightly startled, put down his tea cup and turned to look at Chiyang.
He was just obsessed with thinking about things, so why was he being blamed again?
Chiyang saw him looking over and smiled slightly again.
[This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don’t hurry up and save the beauty, Gu Qingzhi might be impressed by you. 】
Li Jingxing smiled and whispered in Chiyang's ear amidst her surprise.
"It's still a little worse than Yang'er."
Chiyang was stunned for a moment, and then glared at Li Jingxing angrily.
[Comparing my aunt with other women, I’m tired of living! 】
Li Jingxing smiled and said nothing. He felt that something was wrong with him now. He was getting increasingly irritated by Chiyang's offense.
Gu Qingzhi held a pipa and walked slowly to the center of the dance floor. He did not dance immediately, but knelt down in front of the emperor.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Li Jingxing sat upright.
Chiyang was also staring at Gu Qingzhi, and suddenly noticed a line of sight falling on him. He looked in the direction of the line of sight, and met Li Jing'an's smiling eyes. He rolled his eyes at him and looked away.
[Why are you crazy staring at me? 】
Li Jingxing turned his head to look at Li Jing'an opposite and narrowed his eyes.
After Gu Qingzhi bowed to the superior Li Zetian, he said loudly: "I wish your majesty a good health and a long life; I wish your Majesty a good health and eternal youth; I wish me a great Jin Dynasty, a peaceful country and peaceful people at home and abroad." All Yan!"
She was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was very vocal. She praised loudly in the quiet hall, and she had the aura of a heroic woman.
Li Zetian had no special feelings after hearing the first two sentences, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but applaud and praise.
"When the country is peaceful and the people are safe, everyone at home is happy!"
This concubine of the prime minister's palace is calm in times of danger, brave and resourceful, and has a clever mouth and can speak well. She is indeed very unusual. If she were a legitimate daughter, she could be matched with the fourth child, but it is a pity that she is a concubine.
Although he was a hostile, Chiyang couldn't help but give Gu Qingzhi a thumbs up in his heart.
After Gu Qingzhi said this, he immediately raised the standard of his dancing, distinguishing himself from those dancing girls for people's entertainment.
Concubine Rou secretly changed her face, and her eyes when looking at Gu Qingzhi became secretive.
Gu Qingluan's hand on his stomach clenched instantly.
Li Zetian didn't mean to embarrass a little girl, but he forced Gu Qingzhi to dance because of his beloved daughter's plea. Now that he admired Gu Qingzhi's courage, he decided to give her a step up.
"It's difficult to care about the justice of the family and the country. If you dance well, you will be rewarded!"
Gu Qingzhi felt happy, but did not show it on his face, and bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Gu Qingzhi's quick wit won the emperor's favor, and everyone present began to re-examine this concubine of the Prime Minister's Palace.
Gu Qingzhi turned a blind eye to the outside world's observations. After a brief communication with the musicians, he danced to the accompaniment.
She performed the famous Dunhuang dance "Flying Sky", which itself has the meaning of showing that people live and work in peace and contentment and live a prosperous life. It complements the congratulatory speech she just gave.
Li Jingxing sat upright, staring intently at Gu Qingzhi in the middle of the dance floor. Although his eyes were focused but not obsessed.
Chiyang also concentrated on admiring Gu Qingzhi's dancing.
There is a saying that Gu Qingzhi's dancing skills are indeed excellent, his dancing posture is enchanting and agile, and he is as good as those professional dancers in Jiaofangsi.
Most of the people present were amazed by her exquisite dancing, especially some men, who simply wanted to glue their eyes to the woman in the room.
Many noble princes began to make plans to take Gu Qingzhi back as a concubine, including the third prince Li Jingyu.
After all, Gu Qingzhi is the daughter of the prime minister. Even if she is a concubine, she would not be a concubine at will under normal circumstances, but it is a different matter for members of the royal family.
Li Jingyu was eager to give it a try, thinking that he would ask Li Zetian for mercy after the dance was over, so as not to have a long night and dream, and others would get there first.
Gu Qingluan originally wanted to see Gu Qingzhi make a fool of himself, but he accidentally mentioned something that Gu Qingzhi was good at. Seeing that everyone was shocked by her outstanding dancing, especially after seeing Li Jingxiao's proud and fascinated eyes, she was so angry It's a dull pain.
Soon, Gu Qingzhi finished dancing. Li Zetian took the lead in applauding, and others also applauded and cheered. The atmosphere was very warm, and some people cheered loudly.
After the applause stopped, Li Zetian asked: "What reward do you want?"
Gu Qingzhi knelt on the ground and said: "Being able to dance for Your Majesty and the Queen is a blessing that I have earned for three lifetimes. I don't dare to expect too much."
Li Zetian said again: "Jun Wuxi, if you have anything you want, it's okay to say it."
Gu Qingzhi kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your favor, I don't want any reward, but I want a favor!"
Chiyang looked curious.
【What grace? Freedom to marry? 】
Li Zetian frowned, a little unhappy, but still said: "What kind of grace?"
Gu Qingzhi said in a brave tone: "My daughter, please marry me on your own initiative!"
Chiyang raised his eyebrows, he really guessed it right!
[Gu Qingzhi knew that it was difficult to marry Li Jingxiao as a concubine under the current circumstances, and he did not want his marriage to be manipulated by his aunt, so he simply took the opportunity to let the emperor's uncle make the decision and take the marriage into his own hands. 】
[This kind of courage is really not something ordinary people have! 】
Chiyang quickly looked at Gu Qingluan, Rou Fei and Li Jinyan and felt a little funny.
The three people planned a plan, which not only prevented Gu Qingzhi from coming to power, but also provided an opportunity for Gu Qingzhi to break away from the shackles of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Stealing the chicken is losing the rice!
Li Zetian was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Gu Qingzhi would make such a "strange" request.
Regarding the marriage of their children, parents ordered the matchmaker to speak, but Gu Qingzhi asked him to allow her to make her own decisions, clearly telling everyone that the Prime Minister's Palace had treated her harshly.
If he agrees, he will be suspected of interfering in the family life of his ministers; if he does not agree, he will be suspected of breaking his promise and getting rich.
What a headache!
Gu Chongwen never expected that Gu Qingzhi would go ahead with such a request. He only felt that he was slapped by his daughter in public. If he gave the emperor and everyone the impression that the Prime Minister's Palace treated concubines harshly, he would probably be laughed at by his colleagues for the rest of his life. .
Thinking of this, regardless of whether Li Zetian punished him, he walked to the field and knelt on the ground.
"My little girl is innocent, please forgive me!"
Gu Qingzhi also kowtowed and said, "I beg your Majesty to grant me your permission!"
Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between father and daughter, Li Zetian was in a dilemma, whether to agree or not.
