There was still a smile on Young Master Qiushan's face as he placed the teacup down. The porcelain teacup made contact with the table base of the Pear Blossom Tree, letting out a soft chirp. In this silence, it was exceptionally ear-piercing.

"Your Majesty, it's already late at night. Why are you suddenly in the mood to cheat?" "Don't make those emperors wait until they get anxious." Gu Zhiqiu laughed. He was clearly very handsome, yet he had an aged look on his face. It was just that he was so old that he wouldn't forgive others. After this year, he would be forty years old.

Young Master Qiushan laughed and said, "The Prime Minister is teasing me again." When he finished speaking, his eyes flickered with joy as he said, "We shouldn't have bothered the Prime Minister. It's just that I had a very strange dream this afternoon."

As he said this, his gaze became clearer and he fixed his gaze at Gu Zhiqiu, smiling as he asked, "Prime Minister, can you guess what I dreamt of?"

He was still too young after all, and had always been too playful. Gu Zhiqiu chuckled and asked, "Could it be that my Li Kingdom has finally unified the world and the Emperor has become the king of the entire continent?"

Young Master Qiushan chuckled and said with a pout, "What's the big deal?" With that, he glanced at the rectangular box, then smiled and said, "This Emperor dreamt of a beauty."

He had never believed that his son, Qiu Shan, was really as despicable as he appeared on the surface. This was because his grandfather and father would absolutely not be loyal to a useless king.

Gu Zhiqiu pretended to be interested. "Beauty?"

"That's right. That beauty's beauty is as beautiful as the heavens and her courage is great. She actually ran into my bath and waited for me to pamper her. Then, the two of us …" At this point, he leaned forward slightly with a smile on his face. His originally charming eyes were now rippling with water. If it was in the lotus pond at the beginning of summer, the water would sparkle with the reflection of moonlight. We had a great time. " His red lips slightly parted, and his white teeth flashed as he spoke. His voice carried a bit of satisfaction, as if he had not been dreaming.

Yet, he was still a superior being. Even though the Prime Minister had never wanted him to be talented, hearing these words, he could not help but feel dissatisfied. He said in a deep voice, "Your majesty, you are the ruler of a country, how can …"

Who knew that before he could finish, Young Master Qiushan was already yawning lazily, leisurely picking up the teacup at the side. Gu Zhiqiu was helpless and could only change the topic and ask, "But Your Majesty, what does this have to do with you coming here? Could it be that the Emperor wants this subject to find the beauty in his dreams for you? "

Young Master Qiushan nodded and continued to sip his tea. He smiled mockingly and said, "That's right, but Prime Minister need not worry. That woman has already informed me of her identity in my dream."

"Oh?" Gu Zhiqiu frowned, faintly feeling that something was wrong.

However, before he could finish his thought, the young lord Qiushan tilted his body and said with half-closed eyes, "She is the daughter of the Prime Minister."

"…" Gu Zhi Qiu and Shen Zhi Xiao were both stunned, then they smiled from ear to ear. Gu Zhi Qiu had always wanted Gu Jing Qi to enter the palace, but the empress dowager kept a close eye on him, so he couldn't do anything about it. If it was Young Master Qiushan himself who wanted it, it would be completely different.

Young Master Qiu Shan naturally saw Gu Zhiqiu's reaction. His gaze carelessly moved to Shen Zhi Xiao's face. At this moment, Shen Zhi Xiao's eyes were lowered. Although there was some surprise in them, his gentle eyes revealed that it was none of his business.

"Your majesty, then, why have you come this time to see my daughter?" Gu Zhiqiu restrained his smile and asked in all seriousness.

Young Master Qiushan nodded and tapped the table with his fan, saying, "Yes. But I wonder if the Prime Minister is willing to part with your beautiful daughter. "

Gu Zhiqiu slightly nodded and said, "Jing Qi has indeed reached the age to discuss marriage. If the emperor likes her, then it's her fortune. As a father, how can I stop her?" With that, the follower at the side said, "Hurry up and invite the second miss over. Tell her that an important guest wishes to meet her."

The servant quickly complied and left the room. He then walked quickly towards the temple.

Shen Zhixiao naturally thought that the person that Gongzi Qiushan wanted to meet was Gu Jingqi. After all, his tone just now showed that he was extremely disdainful of Su Xiaojin and even had a bit of discrimination towards her. Moreover, because he came looking for a beauty in just a dream, only the Prime Minister, who always believed that he was a lecherous person, would believe such nonsense.

For a moment, the room was silent. The three of them served tea. Young Master Qiushan put his hand on the tea table and held the table lazily with his fingers. His mouth was still humming, but it sounded like the songs of the brothel people.

"… …"

At this moment, the temple was in a deathly silence.

Gu Jingqi's door was closed, and the cold light from outside the paper panes was slightly dimmer than before. Meanwhile, Xiao Cui, who should have stayed beside Gu Jingqi, could only let out some qi after receiving the 40 RMB.

When the Song Family's Prime Minister arrived, they were already waiting to eat with him. However, she didn't expect that Shen Zhixiao would actually come together with Gu Zhiqiu.

She naturally knew that when her daughter became angry, she actually said something extraordinary that angered the old master. She then pretended to scold for a bit, then ordered someone to bring Xiao Cui down and beat her to a pulp until she received the news, then ordered all of them to wait obediently in the courtyard. After that, she hurriedly left and pulled her daughter along, gently advising her.

The cold wind blew.

Gu Jingqi sat straight in front of the table. At this moment, her eyes were a bit swollen. She never would have thought that one day, her father would treat her like this and be so gentle towards that fool! When she thought here, her anger flared up and she was finally unable to suppress the anger in her heart. She waved her hand and knocked over the teacup on the table.

At this moment, Mrs. Song, who was on the side, was eating tea. When she saw Gu Jingqi act like this, she couldn't help but frown and said, "Girl, seriously, why are you so angry?"

"Mother, did you not see that?" Daddy scolded me tonight! In front of so many people! Could it be that he wants to protect that fool? " Gu Jingqi thought about this and punched the table. Just as she was about to put down the teacup, she was immediately scared and ran far away with her teacup.

Thinking of Su Xiao Jin, she coldly snorted and said, "This fool, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Your father must have watched her disappear without a reason." Moreover, after a while, I heard that that Old General Shen was about to return from the border. Your father must be afraid that he will cause trouble, so he's just putting on an act for others to see. "

When she said this, she did not look at Jing Qi, nor did she notice that Gu Jingqi's face was extremely pale. Her eyes also revealed a hint of worry, but she continued to hear from the Song family, "But I'm also curious, the Prime Minister's Palace is always very cautious, this idiot can't even find the entrance, how did he leave?" Could it be that they really were taken away? "

"Mother!" Suddenly, Gu Qi shouted.

Song Family was shocked and then said unhappily, "Aiya, Jing Qi, are you going to scare mom to death?" Then, she saw that Gu Jingqi's face was extremely ugly, so she couldn't help but to open her eyes wide and ask in disbelief, "Could it be that you …"

Gu Jingqi glared at her and said, "Mom, don't say dirty words."

Although she was her daughter, she couldn't help but shiver when Gu Jingqi stared at her with that cold and vicious gaze. She forced a smile and said, "Alright, alright, Mom won't say."

At this moment, a person stopped in front of the door, knocked on it and said, "Second Miss, Master said that he has an important guest. He wants you to dress up and meet him in the front hall."

Gu Jingqi said in annoyance, "Didn't Daddy punish me to think in front of the wall? "What kind of guest do you want me to meet now?" With that, she raised her eyes and asked expectantly, "The front hall?"

The manservant answered with a grunt.

Gu Jingqi jumped up in joy and asked, "Is cousin in the front hall?"

"Replying to Second Young Miss, Young Master Shen is here."

Gu Jingqi and the Song Family looked at each other, then excitedly said, "I knew it, daddy would definitely be on my side!"

Young Master Qiushan purposely didn't say whether he was dreaming about Su Xiaojin or Gu Jingqi, and everyone thought that he was attracted to Gu Jingqi. As for whether that dream was real or fake, no one cared.

Jing Qi didn't know that the emperor had come, so that waiter didn't dare to reveal the emperor's identity. Therefore, he just called him "esteemed guest", just like what Gu Zhiqiu had told him.

These days, ever since Su Xiao Jin had disappeared, although Shen Zhixiao was still very polite to her, but she could feel that Shen Zhixiao's hatred and rejection towards her were even more intense than before. How could intelligent people like them not know about the tricks behind it? Including Gu Zhiqiu, he had asked her about it intentionally or not a few days ago, but Gu Jingqi had pretended that she didn't know anything.

Lady Song looked at her daughter's smiling face and could not help but heave a sigh of relief. She said, "Come, let your mother properly clean you up." With that, he pulled Gu Jingqi's hand in front of the mirror and carefully cut her hair.

"Mother, these things can be done by the servants. Why bother you to do it yourself?" At this moment, Gu Jingqi was very happy, so her tone couldn't help but soften a bit.

Madame Song rolled her eyes and said: "If you lose your temper, wouldn't the maids have been chased away? Furthermore, if your father is truly determined to help you, Young Master Shen must definitely marry you. Thus, tonight, I will personally dress you up. When she thought about the past, her face couldn't help but show a little more pride. Who knew that she, who was only a singing lady in the past, could become the wife of the current prime minister?

So, Gu Jingqi didn't say anything more.

After a while, she had finished with her makeup, and her beautiful face was even more beautiful. She had changed into a light yellow undergarment, with a silver belt at her slender waist, and a light green muslin skirt. The white on her chest was so alluring under the light, it made one want to take a bite out of it.

"Aiyaya, my good daughter, you are even more stunning than mother from back then!" Madame Song was grinning from ear to ear as she looked at her beautiful daughter in front of the mirror.

Gu Jingqi's eyes flashed with a hint of a proud smile, she raised her chin and said, "Of course, hmph, I don't believe that the fool can really compare to me."

With that, she opened the door. The retainer was still standing outside respectfully, perhaps he had waited for a long time, but a hint of anxiousness flashed across his eyes. When he saw Gu Jingqi walk out, he quickly said, "Second Miss, quickly follow this servant here."
