"Mother~~" Zheng Huiyi saw Gu Qinlan coming and looked at her with tears in her eyes.
Gu Qinlan gently rubbed her head, his eyes fell on the twelfth prince Wen Rugu, and asked softly:
"Are you the twelfth prince?"
Upon hearing this, the twelfth prince blinked his eyes, and regardless of the fact that he was still squatting as punishment, he immediately stood up, bowed respectfully to Gu Qinlan, and said sincerely:
"Princess Duan, are you well?"
When the twelfth prince bowed politely, a trace of surprise flashed through Gu Qinlan's heart. She quickly stepped aside to avoid his respect, and then spoke gently:
"Twelfth Prince, you are of royal blood and extremely noble, and I am just a humble subject. How dare I accept such a great gift from you?"
When Wen Wen'er heard this, he shook his head seriously and said in a serious tone:
"No, Princess Duan is very important. You are the spouse of Prince Duan. Prince Duan has made outstanding contributions and has benefited the country and the people. Husband and wife should be together. This gift from me is offered on behalf of the people of the world. Moreover..."
"You are also the Princess Roushu canonized by our father. Although the canonization ceremony has not yet been held, your status has been determined. Therefore, you are not only the Princess of Duan, but also my sister."
After the twelfth prince finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to Gu Qinlan again. This time, Gu Qinlan did not retreat.
However, she couldn't help but look at Wen Wen'er one more time, and nodded secretly in her heart, feeling quite satisfied.
In fact, Gu Qinlan already knew all about Wen Wen'er's remarks in the academy. She just waited and saw what would happen, wanting to get to know the true face of this prince.
Now, combining his words and deeds, although Wen Wen'er is straightforward, he is loyal and upright, observing etiquette without losing his grace.
Gu Qinlan had a very good impression of the twelfth prince.
Instantly, she smiled and said slowly to Wen Wen'er:
"Since Prince Duan is receiving salary from the emperor, he should be loyal to the emperor. Even though he has great achievements and power, it is because Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent."
"Therefore, the twelfth prince must remember this. When you mention this matter in the future, do not forget your majesty's kindness. Do you understand, twelfth prince?"
It is valuable to uphold integrity, but it must be based on loyal and capable subjects!
Only capable and upright ministers who dare to directly advise the king can benefit the country and society!
however……
The reason why Gu Qinlan summoned Wen Wen'er was not to cultivate a loyal minister!
If you want to fight for the throne, you need to learn the way of the emperor!
The first and foremost thing for an emperor is to understand people's hearts and the hidden meaning behind other people's words.
Therefore, after Gu Qinlan finished speaking, she remained silent and just stared at Wen Wen'er quietly.
Wen Wen'er was stunned for a moment, then he looked up at Gu Qinlan, and suddenly realized something. He saluted Gu Qinlan again with a solemn face and said:
"Please rest assured, my sister. Ru Gu will ensure that Prince Duan is safe and sound."
Hearing this, Gu Qinlan finally smiled.
Fortunately, he is not a stupid person and still has potential for development.
Gu Qinlan nodded slightly and continued, "Mr. Jiang is not unwilling to guide you, he is just in a bad mood. I went to persuade him. Next time you come to class, you need to do your best, and..."
"After the others finish their classes, I will ask Mr. Jiang to give you extra tutoring. The content of those courses..."
Before Wen Wen'er arrived, Concubine Yao had revealed a lot of inside information to him and repeatedly reminded him.
Hearing Gu Qinlan's words, he immediately nodded seriously and said solemnly:
"Ru Gu has kept this in mind. This matter is known only to heaven and earth. Ru Gu will never dare to reveal it to anyone else except us."
Gu Qinlan smiled slightly when she heard this, then turned to Zheng Huiyi and others who were looking at her eagerly, and gently instructed:
"Since you have been punished, you must accept the punishment and not be lazy."
As soon as she finished speaking, she took Xiang Zhu straight into the Li Lun Courtyard, ignoring the wailing of the crowd.
When Gu Qinlan saw Xin Yi She Wu still in Li Lun Courtyard, she gave him a friendly smile. Just as she was about to speak, Xin Yi She Wu had already noticed the item in Xiang Zhu's hand and immediately said:
"You don't need to bother to drive them away. I will withdraw and not interfere with your conversation."
Xinyishewu was quick to stand up and walk out. As she walked, the bell she carried with her made a series of clear and pleasant sounds.
After Xin Yishewu disappeared, Gu Qinlan slowly walked to Jiang Boyi, calmly sat down, and spoke to Jiang Boyi frankly without beating around the bush.
"Cousin, you must take responsibility for the twelfth prince."
"What are you..."
Jiang Boyi raised his eyes and was about to answer, but was interrupted by Gu Qinlan:
"We have decided to support the twelfth prince. He is the future heir to the throne."
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Jiang Boyi's expression suddenly changed and he glanced around nervously, as if he was worried that Gu Qinlan's words would be overheard by others.
Gu Qinlan saw through Jiang Boyi's concerns, smiled gently, and then signaled Xiang Zhu to slowly place the items in the box on the table, one by one, and said solemnly:
"Whether it is the Prince Duan's Mansion or the Jiang family, if they want to prosper for generations, they have to support the twelfth prince. Otherwise..."
Jiang Boyi's eyes fell on the items Gu Qinlan was displaying, and his pupils contracted involuntarily.
Then, Jiang Boyi raised his head and looked at Gu Qinlan again, his face as pale as snow, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Grandmother... Grandmother is actually a princess from the previous dynasty?"
Gu Qinlan sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
My grandmother was indeed a princess of the previous dynasty. That year, when the royal family conquered the imperial city, they immediately ordered the extermination of the remaining forces of the previous dynasty.
As a princess of the previous dynasty, my grandmother would have been unlikely to be spared. However, my grandfather had secretly pledged his love to my grandmother long before the war, so he cleverly used a trick to successfully rescue my grandmother.
However, when my grandmother was rescued, her appearance was completely destroyed and could not be restored, so this was a blessing in disguise.
After all, his face was completely destroyed, and even familiar people would find it difficult to recognize him.
But just in case, my grandfather chose to retire from the court, guard my grandmother's secret, live in his hometown for a long time, and never set foot in the capital.
In the previous life, although my grandmother had passed away for many years, someone eventually accidentally revealed her true identity.
My grandfather was considered a traitor because he secretly hid the remnants of the previous dynasty. The emperor was furious and ordered the extermination of the three clans.
Gu Qinlan was already married at that time, and she had made many friends while supporting Ji Yinli, so she managed to escape despite everyone's pleas for mercy.
But the Jiang family suffered disaster because of this.
After returning from rebirth, Gu Qinlan has been looking for a good way to save her family.
After much thought, the only way to completely solve the problem is to change the monarch.
"The current emperor is tyrannical and unjust. If he knew the secret of the Jiang family, our whole family would be doomed! Therefore, cousin, our only way to survive is this."
If he could help the twelfth prince ascend the throne, both the Jiang family and the Prince Duan's Mansion would be spared from disaster because of their meritorious service.
After all, although my grandmother was a princess of the previous dynasty, she was not a male and would not pose a threat.
Furthermore, my grandmother passed away not long after giving birth to Jiang Boyi's mother. The dead are gone, so what else is there to let go of?
