Jiang Lian really wanted to become stronger, especially after contacting the guards of the General's Mansion in the past two days, he felt that he was too weak.
The two of them were sitting in the pavilion, and Gu Qingying said slowly: "You are too conceited. This is the reason why you lost."
conceited?
Jiang Lian doesn't think being conceited is a shortcoming. If a person doesn't even have the courage to admit himself, he is truly weak.
He wondered: "Isn't it bad to be conceited? At least I believe in myself!"
Gu Qingying shook her head and laughed: "Conceit is a good thing, but being too conceited is a bad thing. If you have the ability, it's okay to be conceited, but if you don't have the ability, being conceited is your biggest shortcoming."
Jiang Lian was stunned by these words.
He looked at Gu Qingying in surprise, not expecting that Gu Qingying would say this.
Gu Qingying chuckled and said: "You don't understand what I mean, do you? Let me put it in another way! If you have real ability, it's okay to be conceited, but you are not the strongest. You can't even beat me. How can you be conceited?"
?You have to know that in this world, there are always strong ones among the strong, and even I dare not say that I am the strongest."
This statement is very clear, that is, Jiang Lian is not capable enough.
Jiang Lian was speechless.
He wanted to refute Gu Qingying, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it. What Gu Qingying said was not unreasonable.
Gu Qingying continued: "If you want to become stronger, you must first have the will to become stronger. If you don't even have the will to become strong, you are destined to fail in this life."
Jiang Lian humbly asked: "How can I have the heart to become stronger?"
"Determine a goal. For example, you can use me as your goal. You must defeat me first, etc."
What Gu Qingying said made Jiang Lian suddenly realize something, and he instantly became confused.
Gu Qingying stood up and pointed at the yard and said, "You couldn't beat him just now, didn't you? Do you want to see how I fight him?"
When the guard heard this, he laughed and said, "Miss, please be merciful! Otherwise, I should cry."
The guards around him laughed.
They had fought with Gu Qingying before, but they were no match for him.
Gu Qingying and the guards were going back and forth, but they won in just a few moves.
Returning to the pavilion, Jiang Lian smiled bitterly and said: "I'm really terrible."
He didn't say this for no reason, it was because Lu Qingying had given him a huge blow.
Lu Qingying seemed to have no trouble defeating the opponent, and won with just a few moves.
He couldn't even understand why a woman could beat these guards who had been practicing martial arts all year round like this.
He understood the gap between him and Gu Qingying better.
"May I ask, what weapons are you good at?"
He had fought with Gu Qingying before, and Gu Qingying used a sword.
Gu Qingying pointed to a row of weapons in the yard and said, "They all know it."
When Jiang Lian heard this, there was no joy on his face. On the contrary, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Everyone will do it!
These two words are all that come to mind.
Gu Qingying is so powerful!
Gu Qingying didn't know if Jiang Lian heard what she said, so she could only click through.
Back in the backyard, Li Jingyi was cleaning the house with her maid.
When Li Jingyi saw Gu Qingying coming, she stepped forward with a smile and said, "I was thinking about you just now! Come with me for a walk tomorrow! I haven't gone out for a long time, and your brother always said that I have
I’m pregnant and can’t go out, but I really want to go out!”
She used to be very good at running.
Now she is like a bird trapped in a cage.
Although Gu Xiao would accompany her and coax her every day when she came back, she really wanted to go out and play!
Gu Qingying had no reason to refuse, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. How about I go out with you for a walk tomorrow! Just in time you can buy some things for the children to prepare."
She understood Li Jingyi's feelings. She was the same way when she was pregnant with Yue'er. Because she didn't want to expose her pregnancy, she stayed in the backyard of Shen's house.
In those few months, she didn't step out of Shen's house.
Li Jingyi is pregnant now, and Gu Xiao's decision not to let Li Jingyi go out is for Li Jingyi's own good, which she still understands.
Early the next morning, Gu Qingying packed up and went to Li Jingyi's yard.
Gu Xiao and Li Jingyi are having breakfast.
When the two of them saw Gu Qingying entering the house, they both called Lu Qingying to eat together quickly.
Gu Qingying didn't hesitate to sit down and eat.
Gu Xiao said: "I will go out with you later!"
Ever since Li Jingyi became pregnant with the child, he had been afraid and worried. He was always worried that Li Jingyi would be in danger when he went out alone. He couldn't explain why he was worried about this.
Li Jingyi hadn't gone shopping with Gu Qingying for a long time. When she heard that Gu Xiao was going to follow him, she immediately became unhappy: "Why are you following us? We haven't seen each other for a long time. If you follow us, aren't you causing trouble?"
She just wanted to talk to Gu Qingying about what was on her mind and the confusion in her heart.
Especially when she found out that Li Cangjue actually favored two Qinglou girls, she was even more displeased.
Last time I approached the palace, I didn’t do anything. But this time...
At this moment, the maid came in and handed Li Jingyi a letter.
Li Jingyi opened it curiously, and then looked at Lu Qingying strangely.
Gu Qingying was stared at by Li Jingyi and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Xiao also looked puzzled, wondering why Li Jingyi was acting like this suddenly.
Li Jingyi handed the letter to Gu Qingying and said, "Take a look!"
She didn't even know what to say. Her royal brother really...
However, is this a compromise and giving up?
If that's the case, that's not bad.
At least, it will not cause trouble and trouble to Lu Qingying in the future.
Gu Qingying had finished reading the letter, with a smile on her face: "The Queen has finally done a good deed."
Li Jingyi saw that Gu Qingying was not affected by the content of the letter at all, and felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.
She didn't know what happened to make her brother give up.
Gu Xiao took the letter that Lu Qingying put on the table and read it over, then looked at the two of them with wide eyes: "The Queen has chosen the main concubine and the side concubine for Li Cang?"
This news is indeed shocking.
Generally speaking, the main concubine is chosen first, and the side concubine is married later.
But it has never happened before that the queen chose both the principal concubine and the concubine at once.
Gu Qingying was inexplicably happy: "This is a good thing! King Zhennan is now a grown man. The other princes have already had heirs, but King Zhennan does not."
As long as Li Cang decides to marry, I believe the queen will not keep an eye on her.
Li Jingyi already knew from Gu Xiao that her mother sent people to assassinate Gu Qingying, and apologized: "My mother has always loved the emperor, and she did something to hurt you for the sake of the emperor. I only hope you can forgive my mother."
Li Jingyi's apology was sincere.
It's not easy for her to be a good person when she's always stuck in the middle.
But there was nothing they could do. On one side was Gu Qingying, and on the other side were the emperor's brother and his mother.
If this contradiction and problem can be solved, she will have one less thing to worry about.
