Chapter 144 CFV Ch.144 Beneficial (2)

“So Uncle still does not know.” A look flashed past Gu Jing’s eyes and he smiled. “Father has given permission to Third Young Mistress Qin to visit the Ministry of Works in order to develop and improve a new type of bow. I saw that her maid seemed to be holding a bow in her hand. Perhaps they are already done with the prototype.”

“A bow?” Qin Zhun was confused. He had never heard of this!

Gu Jing raised his brows. Seeing Qin Zhun’s look of complete ignorance, he briefly explained a couple things before adding, “Father is extremely fond of this new type of bow developed by Third Young Mistress Qin. Even I haven’t had the chance to see it yet.”

Gu Jing raised his wine cup elegantly and lowered his eyes, concealing the dark flash in his eyes.

In the past few days, Sixth Imperial Brother had been doing homework in the imperial study as soon as he was out of class. His father did not even hide it from him when he summoned the ministers.

His Mother said that the emperor is already caught around the empress’s pinky, so that is why he was partial to Gu Zhen in everything.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

He couldn’t just sit and wait like a fool any longer!

Gu Jing and Yelu Luan exchanged silent glances at the side.

A concubine is a concubine. Even if it’s the concubine of a prince, it’s the same!

A concubine’s relatives aren’t relatives at all.

Qin Xin can no longer offer the Qin family any advantage in this contest. The only way now to get the Second Prince to see the importance of the Qin family is by offering some help to him.

If Qin Gui can be married off to Northern Yan, then that would show the Qin family’s worth!

With such thoughts, Qin Zhun was heated up and said haughtily, “My third niece has just returned so her marriage is not decided yet.”

He was saying that the Qin family was willing to marry off Qin Gui.

Yelu Luan caught those implications as well, and a sharp aura of determination flashed past his azure eyes like a lone wolf on the grassland.

Gu Jing smiled in satisfaction at Qin Zhun’s interest. He picked up his wine cup again and said, “Uncle really is good-spirited and loyal to the Great Qi.”

Qin Zhun quickly picked up his own cup and laughed. “You are too kind, Your Highness.”

He tilted his head back and gulped down the wine. Then, he added modestly, “It’s just that Gui’er, that girl. She’s wild and stubborn. I’m afraid that...”

Qin Zhun looked as if he wished to speak, but he frowned instead.

Even though he did not interact much with Qin Gui, Mrs. Su was always rambling on about her faults. At the very least, he knew that she was not to be messed with.
