I really dare not mess with the Queen Mother

Gu Junran wants her to beat her back.

Qin Zhao almost thought that he had heard it wrong, until Xiao Shengzi repeated it again, Qin Zhao finally came to his senses.

Xiao Shengzi tentatively said: "Then, Your Highness, are you going or not?"

Qin Zhao smiled coldly: "Can I not go?"

"Uh... I think it's not a big deal to serve the empress, after all, this is what a son of man should do." Xiao Shengzi paused, and then said: "The other princes want to serve the empress. Waiting in front of me, I haven't had a chance yet."

Qin Zhao took a deep breath: "But I don't want this opportunity."

Xiao Shengzi paused, and said: "Then this servant will go tell the Empress that you are going to Taifu Feng's place later?"

Qin Zhao waved his hand weakly: "This is not good, Teacher Feng's class has been changed to the morning."

Xiao Shengzi was trying to help her think of a reason: "Then it's better to just say that you are sick."

"No way..." Qin Zhao comforted himself with a sad face: "Actually, it's okay to go, and it's not a big deal if you just beat your back."

She said so, but she didn't think so in her heart.

Thump your back...

If Gu Junran was really two or thirty years older than her, then it would be fine for her to serve Gu Junran, but the real situation right now is that she and Gu Junran are only two years apart.

A "son" who is only two years younger than Gu Junran, went to her to beat his back...Back-beating is a verb.

Since it is a verb, it must be physical contact.

Although she knew that Gu Junran was a big boss, when she went to Gu Junran's palace and Gu Junran closed the palace door, outsiders didn't know what happened inside, and the people inside wouldn't talk nonsense.

But after all... this matter sounds awkward!

And it doesn't sound like that, it's ridiculous...

Yes, very absurd.

Could it be that the reason why Gu Junran chose her was really because Gu Junran was... like Zulong's mother?

Zhao Ji?

But even if Gu Junran wanted to be Zhao Ji, she wasn't Lai Ai?

Even if the palace is unbearably lonely, and her husband is getting old, so she wants a red apricot to come out of the wall, but is it a bit too much to look at her "son"...

Xiao Shengzi's voice suddenly came: "Your Highness, you have suffered..."

Qin Zhao looked over at him, and saw that Xiao Shengzi was about to cry or not, as if she really wanted to dedicate herself to Gu Junran.

Qin Zhao only felt a headache, and she pinched the center of her eyebrows: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Xiao Shengzi seemed to understand something suddenly. He knelt down on the ground and swore to the sky with his hands raised: "I promise to keep my mouth shut. I won't tell anyone about this. I will be your slave for the rest of my life. Even my master ... No, slaves do not have a master, only a master!"

Qin Zhao: "..."

What she meant was not to let Xiao Shengzi talk nonsense, not to warn him not to spread this matter to outsiders.

Look, even Xiao Shengzi thinks wrong, and she can't be blamed for thinking wrong.

"I didn't mean that..." Qin Zhao defended palely.

Xiao Shengzi nodded again and again: "The servant understands."

Qin Zhao: "...you understand an eggplant, you understand!"

After she finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and walked out.

Xiao Shengzi stood up, looked at Qin Zhao's angry back, and suddenly murmured to himself: "Oh, it's not easy for the noble prince of the day family these days."

Qin Zhao was walking in front, and when she heard Xiao Shengzi's muttering behind her, she stopped and walked out of the palace gate without looking back.

Xiao Shengzi felt more and more that she was bearing the burden of humiliation, and at the same time, infinite sympathy and compassion appeared in her eyes.

Qin Zhao went all the way to Fengqi Palace. As soon as she entered the gate of Fengqi Palace, the guard at the gate immediately closed the door.

As soon as Qin Zhao heard the sound of their closing the door, she felt a "thud" in her heart. She almost forgot that the doors of Fengqi Palace were not open on weekdays, and they were always opened and closed at will.

For the first time in her life, she experienced what it means to be frightened by a bird...

As soon as she entered the outer hall, Gu Junran was not there, and the little eunuchs politely asked her to sit on the soft bed first, and served her tea very quickly.

After drinking three cups of tea, Gu Junran arrived.

She didn't wear a phoenix robe, but casually wore a thin red skirt, her hair was raised up with a white jade hairpin, and her face showed more delicate facial features without makeup.

Qin Zhao couldn't help taking a few more glances, and suddenly felt that maybe, with Gu Junran's appearance and demeanor, if she was really forced on her, she would not have the strength to resist.

As soon as she thought about it, she quickly slapped herself in the heart, what was she thinking!

That was her nominal stepmother, and she absolutely couldn't have such an idea.

Being forced by Gu Junran is one thing, but the psychological oppression caused by immorality, or the deep-rooted thinking brought to her by traditional education, made her instantly feel that her thoughts just now should not be.

But Gu Junran is indeed good-looking. She is a person who wants to have good looks and status. Why did she marry an old man who is over fifty years old?

"You're willing to come, I'm really relieved as a mother..." Gu Junran actually looked at her very relieved, and then asked her: "Has my son finished his homework today?"

……

Check homework?

Qin Zhao smiled embarrassingly, "It's not finished yet, isn't this thinking to honor you first, and then go back and continue."

"How is this possible?" Gu Junran looked at her with some dissatisfaction: "As a prince, why are you so slack?"

Qin Zhao was happy in his heart, if Gu Junran said so, he might just drive her back to do her homework.

However, the smile on her face didn't last long, and Gu Junran said again: "The predecessors had a head hanging from a beam and an awl piercing their buttocks. What do I think is the answer?"

Qin Zhao sneered: "Uh...it's just that you study hard, forget to eat and sleep, and study hard."

Gu Junran nodded: "What have you learned in the past two days?"

"Learned..." Qin Zhao thought for a while, and told her the book Feng Bonian asked her to read: "Teacher Feng gave me "Taizu Ji", "Qin's State Policy", and "Kyushu Map". Since most of the characters can be recognized, but only a few don’t, then read some books first, and ask him if he doesn’t know or doesn’t understand.”

Gu Junran continued to ask: "Then which book have you read?"

Qin Zhao smiled unnaturally, "I haven't read much, I'm a slow learner."

Gu Junran looked at her with raised eyebrows: "So which book did you read?"

Qin Zhao paused, "I just read "The Map of Kyushu"..."

Gu Junran was slightly taken aback, and asked her, "Just looked at the picture?"

Qin Zhao coughed lightly, and said embarrassingly, "Ang... just looked at the picture."

Gu Junran was silent.

Qin Zhao didn't dare to continue speaking.

After a while, Gu Junran said: "You don't have to read "The Story of the Taizu" and "The Qin Family Policy", just see what you can understand."

Qin Zhao was taken aback.

"My lady..."

Gu Junran glanced at her with a half-smile: "Those two books are indeed somewhat obscure to you, but from my point of view, there is no need for you to read them again."

Gu Junran clicked to the end.

Qin Zhao nodded in agreement.

In fact, what Gu Junran hinted was right. Those two books seem to belong to the level of the Great Wei Guoshu, but in fact, the first one is how Wei Taizu became the emperor from an ordinary old farmer. Most of the books are mythological, and many "mandate of heaven" are fabricated. short story.

Compared with the first book, the second book is similar, and it tells how the Qin clan in Wei State developed to this day.

As Gu Junran said, there is really no need to read it, it's just a waste of time.

After asking about her studies, Gu Junran began to ask about her diet, what she ate and who she met in the palace these few days.

Qin Zhao hasn't seen anyone in the past two days, but there was a message from Concubine Jin that she had time to go and see Princess Ten, and she arranged it until tonight, so she didn't talk to Gu Junran.

Qin Zhao almost had the illusion that Gu Junran was really like a mother, and she began to care about her "son"'s daily life.

When Gu Junran finally finished asking, she sat on the main seat and said, "I'm tired."

Qin Zhao saluted immediately: "Then I will take my leave."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and wanted it.

Unexpectedly, Gu Junran ordered quietly: "My son is here to squeeze Bengong's shoulders."

Qin Zhao's heart that had just been let go rose again, and he still couldn't escape the matter of pinching his shoulders and beating his back.

She sighed secretly in her heart, and walked forward anyway. When she walked in front of Gu Junran, she couldn't help asking again: "Mother, do you have to squeeze your shoulders?"

Gu Junran raised his eyebrows, raised his head slightly to look at her: "Aren't you happy?"

"Happy, happy! Of course I'm happy..."

Qin Zhao smiled, but was frightened by her cold eyes, and quickly walked around behind her, clenched her hands hanging below her body.

I just felt a thin layer of sweat in the palm of my hand.

She looked at Jinli and said with a smile: "Well, girl Jinli, can someone pour me a basin of water, I want to wash my hands first and then honor the empress."

I would like to order someone to do it immediately.

After a while, the copper basin was brought over by two young maids.

Qin Zhao washed his hands, dried them again, and then walked behind Gu Junran again.

She mustered up her courage, and slowly put both hands on Gu Junran's shoulders.

She clearly felt that Gu Junran's fair and long neck shrank unconsciously, and Qin Zhao cheered herself up: "Then I'll start, ma'am."

Gu Junran hummed lightly.

Qin Zhao began to squeeze Gu Junran's shoulders, and she could even smell the familiar plum blossom fragrance on Gu Junran's body.

"You have reached the age of marriage."

Gu Junran suddenly said this sentence without beginning or end.

Qin Zhao was startled, and his hands kept moving: "Well, it seems to be..."

Gu Junran's phoenix eyes drooped, as if she was about to close her eyes and rest her mind.

There is no more text.

Qin Zhao also continued to "serve" her.

After a while, her hands became a little sore, and her movements slowed down, but fortunately, Gu Junran didn't seem to notice.

Gu Junran sighed softly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty told me that a marriage has been found for you, and when that person arrives, I will let you meet him."

Qin Zhao frowned: "Have you already fallen in love with me? But... I haven't heard of it, and no one has asked me what I mean."

Gu Junran chuckled lightly: "You didn't even ask me, who did His Majesty fall in love with for you?"

Qin Zhao followed her words and asked, "Who? Who am I going to marry?"

"The Princess of Southern Qi..." Gu Junran paused, and then said: "Now that her elder brother has become the emperor, it should be said that she is the eldest princess of Southern Qi. Besides, the palace of Nanqi has just passed, and the court is unstable, and Nanqi and Da Wei are in trouble again. It's close, and we can't have any bad conflicts with us when the court is unstable, and getting married is obviously the best choice."

Princess Nanqi...

Qin Zhao was taken aback, and immediately blurted out: "I don't want her!"

Sure enough, it's coming, this plot point is really coming.

According to the plot of the original text, the original body almost lost his life because he married the so-called princess of Nanqi.

Gu Junran opened his phoenix eyes and raised his eyebrows: "What?"

Qin Zhao said firmly: "It's okay, I won't marry, even if I do, it can't be her."

Gu Junran nodded lightly: "Understood."

Qin Zhao was taken aback, got it?

Gu Junran said again: "If you don't want to marry, you need your father's consent."

Qin Zhao almost wanted to cry: "Then I'll go and beg Your Majesty, can she take back her life?"

Gu Junran smiled lightly and said: "You need to know that this time when Nan Qi came to Wei, he would definitely send a princess and choose a son-in-law for that princess."

Qin Zhao nodded: "Well..."

Gu Junran said: "If you want your father to promise you not to marry, it will not be easy."

Before Qin Zhao could speak, Gu Junran said again: "However, according to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, I, as a mother, cannot let you marry someone I don't like."

Qin Zhao was taken aback: "Really, ma'am?"

Gu Junran nodded: "So, you have to be good."

Qin Zhao: "..."

Eh?
