Chapter 64

"After all, you are still young, and it is normal for you to be disheartened for a while after encountering great changes."

Qin Xinlan didn't blame her, she took a step forward, helped Gu Xi up herself, comforted her softly, and had great confidence and expectations for her.
"I believe that with your ability, even if you don't want to fight for power or make contributions, you will still achieve something, because nothing can hide your brilliance."

Gu Xi, "..."

Not to not to be.

Teacher, don't boast like that, I can't bear it.

"Teacher, besides thanking the teacher for hiring me this time, I also want to dissuade the teacher from participating in the case of King Ning collaborating with the enemy and treason."

Gu Xi expressed another intention.

Qin Xinlan frowned slightly and asked her,

"What do you think about King Ning's case?"

"Prince Ning's meritorious service is so powerful that he is feared by the emperor. The emperor wholeheartedly wants to execute King Ning, even colluding with Beiyan.

Therefore, if you want to rehabilitate King Ning, you will definitely offend the emperor, get angry, and even lose your life. "

Gu Xi didn't hide it, she said everything clearly, and only hoped that the teacher would not go his own way and recognize the danger here.

"The emperor personally colluded with Beiyan?!" Qin Xinlan's body was slightly shocked, her face was full of pain, she did not doubt Gu Xi's words, because it also verified some of her guesses.

She pursed her lips and said in a deep voice,
"Xi'er, I know your worries, but there are some things that you know you can't do, but someone still needs to do them.

As the eldest princess, I have to admonish the emperor when he makes a big mistake, whether it is from the family relationship of the royal family or from the protection of the Qin Dynasty. This is my duty and my belief.

If I shrink back because of fear, I will lose my faith and the foundation of my life, and then I will have no face to live on, and what face will I have to see my father after death. "

Seeing the gentle, noble and upright teacher, Gu Xi was touched and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

It seems that there is no need to persuade.

This is the path chosen by the teacher, and she is determined to go on.

But... She didn't want to see the teacher make unnecessary sacrifices!
"Teacher, can you wait until King Ning shows up and see how he defends himself, and if you come forward to help, it may have better results."

Gu Xi couldn't help persuading again.

"I heard that King Ning was hunted down by them, he was seriously injured, and his life and death are unknown now. I was afraid that if I didn't show up again, the emperor would never give King Ning a chance to show up, so he secretly executed him."

Qin Xinlan frowned tightly, worried and authentic.

"Teacher, I can't guarantee anything else, but King Ning will not die, nor will he be caught by the emperor. You have time to wait."

Gu Xi said firmly.

Qin Xinlan looked at her, read some meaning from her bright eyes, couldn't help but move in her heart,
"You... Forget it, don't say it. I believe in you, okay, I can wait. If you have something to help, just say so, don't stand on your own."

"Then I'm not going to be polite, the teacher should have a lot of precious medicinal materials for healing, why don't you give me some?"

Gu Xi blinked and said with a smile.

At the same time, she also emphasized the word 'healing' somewhat suggestively.

Qin Xinlan understood, she looked at Gu Xi with bright eyes and excitement, she bit her lip, suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, grabbed Gu Xi's hand,
"Xi'er, thank you! I didn't ask too much, I was afraid that I couldn't help but leak it. I knew you were still the same Xi'er with firm beliefs and justice in your heart before, and I am very pleased to be a teacher!"

Gu Xi smiled bitterly inwardly.

No, she is now a salted fish who just wants to lie flat!

If the teacher knew that she almost left King Ning behind and chose not to save him, I wonder if she would never recognize her as a student again.

Qin Xinlan excitedly walked back and forth for a few steps, gradually calmed down, then smiled and said to Gu Xi,

"Since you have accepted my offer, you, the new teacher, can't be lazy. Today is just a quiz on piano skills, so you can give them a lesson."

Gu Xi originally planned to attend a class at most once a month, and she would not wait on her if there were more, because she didn't have the mood and energy.

Since the teacher proposed to finish the work early in the morning, Gu Xi agreed.
-
On the other side, after finishing dressing, Gu Rong, together with several other sisters from the Hou Mansion, also went to the academy in a carriage.

Before that, there were four young ladies in Hou's mansion, Gu Xi was the eldest lady, Hou Zhongyi had two concubine daughters, and Gu Xi's second uncle's family had a prostitute daughter.

In the past, Gu Xi was the eldest sister, and she was also born as a prostitute. In addition, she loves to take care of her sisters, and is generous, giving them gifts from time to time. She has the number one status and prestige in the hearts of all the sisters.

Not to mention the two concubines, even the other concubine, Gu Qian'er, was willing to listen to her and happily acted as Gu Xi's follower.

Between the few sisters, although there is the dignity of a concubine, there is nothing too dirty. Even if there is a small quarrel, they will be reconciled soon.

Such a situation is naturally due to Gu Xi's credit, she is the one who tied these sisters together.

However, now that Gu Xi is gone, and Gu Rong joined in, the rope suddenly fell apart.

Although Gu Rong is a legitimate daughter-in-law, Gu Qianer and the others don't listen to her, they don't accept her in their hearts.

Gu Qian'er was originally a prostitute, with a hot temper and frankness, she didn't like Gu Rong, and she pretended not to, either ignoring her, or sneering at her when she saw her.

After all, Gu Rou and Gu Die are concubines, lack confidence, and dare not show their dislike on the surface.

They are all superficially friendly, but in private they will complain that because she came and Gu Xi left, she didn't give Gu Rong a favorite value.

For example, when going to school this time, the Hou Mansion sent two carriages, but Gu Rong took one by herself, and the other three did not ride with her even though they were crowded together.

Gu Rong was isolated.

Gu Rong was naturally angry at being isolated, but she also looked down on Gu Qianer and the others.

In her eyes, they are just a group of little girls who have just entered the first grade of junior high school, and they can only play such childish tricks.

When she becomes a talented woman who is sought after after a while, they will envy and envy her, and even come to curry favor with her.

Fei Cui was also very pleased to see the young lady so calm, but she still reminded her,

"Fifth Miss has a hot temper. When she arrives at the academy, she may even make trouble for the lady. The lady should deal with her as usual. Don't confront her head-on."

That is to let Gu Rong pretend to be innocent and pitiful.

"Don't worry, I'm good at pretending to be soft and weak, your lady." Gu Rong said.

Fei Cui smiled and flattered her again, coaxing Gu Rong into a good mood.
-
At the gate of the academy, Gu Qian'er got off the carriage first, followed by Gu Rou and others.

Gu Rong was concerned about her appearance for the first time, so she asked Fei Cui to check her pearl hairpin twice, her hair and clothes were fine, then she opened the curtain and prepared to get off the carriage gracefully and calmly.

However, just as she was about to get out of the car, she heard someone outside say,
"I heard that Gu Xi came to the academy today, have you seen her?"
