When they arrived in front of Queen Gu and the Crown Prince, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian had already calmed down all their emotions. From the outside, there was no problem at all.
Empress Gu didn't know what she had said to the prince in private, but she was in a good mood. She smiled and asked everyone to sit down together. She then said to Gu Xinian kindly: "Thanks to Mrs. Ye's company this time, otherwise, my illness would not be the same."
She will get better so soon. I have to keep her here for a while longer, and then I can let her go back to my hometown to reunite with you when I am completely recovered."
Empress Gu thought her words were humorous, but she didn't expect that Gu Xinian's reaction was a bit strange. She frowned slightly, as if she had made some determination, and said, "Aunt, my nephew has something he wants to discuss with you..."
"Actually, even if my aunt didn't say anything, my niece-in-law also wants to stay in the palace for a few more days!" Ye Qinglan took over the conversation with a smile: "Now my aunt's health has improved a lot. As long as she takes good care of herself, she will be fine in less than ten days.
She can recover. How can my niece and daughter-in-law be relieved unless they see my aunt recover with her own eyes?"
Empress Gu was in a really good mood today. She laughed so much that she didn't notice that Gu Xinian's face looked a little ugly.
Zhang Yue noticed it, and glanced at Gu Xinian quietly, and then at Ye Qinglan. Then he pursed his lips and smiled. However, he misunderstood the root cause of the quarrel between the two.
After all, they were newlyweds, and they were separated for so long... No wonder Gu Xinian was unhappy!
The prince obviously misunderstood Gu Xinian's reaction. He smiled and patted Gu Xinian on the shoulder: "You two are newlyweds. One lives in the palace and the other lives outside the palace. No wonder you are not happy. Don't worry,
After this period of time, there will be many days spent together every day from now on."
Queen Gu also reacted and said with a smile: "Yes, my aunt has really owed you a debt this time."
Speaking of this, what else could Gu Xinian have to say? He had to swallow his suffocation, and forced out a smile and responded: "My aunt said that, I am really ashamed of my nephew. Qinglan is lucky enough to enter the palace to accompany her aunt,
It's her blessing. As long as my aunt's health can get better, that's more important than anything else." When he said the last sentence, he intentionally or unintentionally increased his tone and glanced at Ye Qinglan again.
Ye Qinglan was still smiling and sitting next to him, and there was nothing strange about her.
Gu Xinian felt even more depressed. He suppressed it and said to Queen Gu, "Speaking of which, I have something to ask my aunt."
Queen Gu said angrily: "Just say what you want. It's too unreasonable to say whether you ask for it or not."
"Qinglan is young and ill-informed, so she can't help but be impulsive in her words and actions. Yesterday, she bumped into the imperial concubine in the imperial garden." Gu Xinian did not go around in circles and said straightforwardly: "I'm afraid that the imperial concubine will hold a grudge in her heart. She will look for opportunities in the future.
The reason for looking for Qinglan..."
Speaking of this, Queen Gu still didn't understand anything. She immediately smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. With my aunt here, no one can think of anything wrong."
Gu Xinian smiled lightly: "Thank you, aunt, then. My nephew has entrusted Qinglan's safety to you."
Empress Gu had some understanding of her nephew's temper, and when she saw what he said so straightforwardly, she took it a little more seriously.
The prince winked and smiled and joked: "I have always thought that I am the one who cherishes flowers, but now I realize that compared with my cousin, I am far behind."
Gu Xinian smiled and said nothing.
Ye Qinglan remained calm and composed on the outside, but she was not calm at all in her heart. In fact, after Gu Xinian said those words, she began to regret it. She clearly knew that he acted so tough because he was worried about her safety.
Knowing that he asked her to return home to protect her, why did the two of them quarrel in the end? And the quarrel was so fierce...
Didn't she always pride herself on being calm and rational? Why did this calmness and rationality disappear when she met Gu Xinian?
My heart seemed to be blocked by something, and I felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Until he left, Gu Xinian didn't look at Ye Qinglan again. The moment he left, the prince approached him in a condescending manner: "Hey, why don't you say goodbye to your wife?"
Gu Xinian did not comment, just smiled, stood up and left.
Ye Qinglan raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Xinian's upright back. The feeling of shortness of breath and chest tightness became more serious. But she never wanted to show such emotions and be noticed by others, so she endured it until night. She suppressed her temper for Gu Xinian.
The queen underwent hypnotherapy.
It wasn't until she was lying alone on the bed in the dead of night that she allowed herself to show all her weakness. She stared blankly at the tent ceiling for a long time, her mind in chaos, and all she could see in front of her was the angry and angry look of Gu Xinian...
She asked herself that she had done nothing wrong in this matter. Even if she had to do it over again, she would still choose to do it. She did not have a good impression of Queen Gu, but in any case, Queen Gu came from the Dingguo Palace. If Queen Gu was in the palace
After falling out of favor, the prince's future path will inevitably be more difficult. Gu Xinian will definitely spend more time assisting the prince. She can do nothing else, but at least she can do her part to help Queen Gu get out of trouble faster.
Come out.
After all, wasn't she doing this just for Gu Xinian? Why didn't he understand such thoughts...
Ye Qinglan is definitely not the only one who has been tossing and turning all night.
On the same night, Gu Xinian did not fall asleep either.
He stayed alone in the study for a long time. There was a painting on the large and clean desk. The girl in the painting was beautiful and peaceful, smiling and staring at the plum blossoms in the bottle, her eyes were a little dazed, as if she was thinking about herself.
of the right person.
Gu Xiyu once painted this painting. After he saw it, he secretly copied one. When he was alone in his study, he would miss the painting when he saw it. But now, looking at this painting, his mood was unprecedented.
Complex and confusing.
She clearly knew that she took such a risk to create opportunities for Queen Gu, knew that she was so devoted to Queen Gu because of him, and knew that she insisted on staying in the palace to cure Queen Gu. Why did the two of them quarrel like this?
sharp?
But in his heart, she was the most important thing. Compared to her safety, what was Queen Gu's predicament? He only wanted her to live a quiet and happy life, and was reluctant to let her wade into this muddy water. He
Why doesn’t she understand my thoughts?
It is not too difficult to like someone. But after getting married, staying together day and night seems to be another matter...
The next morning, Zhang Yue got up as usual and went to Ye Qinglan's house. When he saw Ye Qinglan, Zhang Yue was startled: "Sister-in-law, are you sick? Why do you look so ugly?"
After just one night, Ye Qinglan's energy was actually a little sluggish, her expression was no longer as alert as before, and her two dark circles under her eyes were extremely obvious.
Ye Qinglan responded vaguely: "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night."
After living in the palace for so many days, shouldn’t you still be asking for a bed? Zhang Yue thought for a while, swallowed the words back, and said with a smile: "There will definitely be many concubines coming to give me a bed later."
The Queen is saying hello, and we are both waiting for you. It is obvious that you are not a welcome guest, so let the maid put makeup on you to cover it up!"
It is indeed a lot less troublesome to deal with smart people. For example, even if Zhang Yue guesses something, he will never ask rashly, which saves the effort of talking.
The two maids, Ruixue Ruomei, also had obviously worried looks on their faces, but they didn't ask any questions. They just dressed up Ye Qinglan more carefully. Not only did they put on a layer of exquisite makeup, but they also specially picked out dazzling dresses and accessories.
.Finally, the traces of a sleepless night were covered up.
After a simple breakfast, the two went to the main hall of Fengyi Palace together. Queen Gu's spirit was getting better and better, she was neatly dressed, and she had the majesty and style of a dignified Queen of the Sixth Palace. Come.
There were already three or four concubines paying their respects, and they were carefully talking to Queen Gu.
As soon as Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue showed up, the palace concubines were very enthusiastic. They all stood up and greeted them with a smile. Ye Qinglan cheered up and greeted them one by one with a smile.
The fact that Ye Qinglan bumped into Concubine Zheng in the imperial garden has long been spread in the palace. The life of concubines is actually very boring, and the slightest disturbance will cause a lot of waves. Such things naturally become the focus of everyone's attention.
.The concubines could not help but secretly speculate in their hearts how Concubine Zheng and Miss Cao Jieyu would deal with Ye Qinglan, who did not know the heights of the world.
Cao Jieyu's complaint was expected by everyone, but what happened afterwards shocked everyone. No one expected that not only did Ye Qinglan pass this test without incident, the emperor also spent the afternoon in Fengyi Palace.
It is said that Ye Qinglan was specially named to have dinner at the same table. The direction of the Sacred Heart could not be more obvious.
As a result, Concubine Zheng and her party were all disgraced, but Empress Gu, who had been silent for a long time, was elated. How could the concubines dare to neglect, and almost all of them came to Fengyi Hall to pay their respects.
Soon, the huge main hall was filled with people. The high-ranking concubines were sitting, while the lower-ranking concubines could only stand aside with smiles. Coupled with the prominent maids and female officials in each palace, it seemed very lively.
Under such circumstances, Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue, who were sitting next to Queen Gu, were particularly eye-catching.
Especially Ye Qinglan, although she sat there quietly and didn't say much, the concubines looked over her intentionally or unintentionally.
At this moment, Zhang Yue was finally convinced.
Ask yourself, if it were you, it would not be easy to remain calm and composed under so many eyes. But look at Ye Qinglan, she doesn't take these concubines seriously at all, she doesn't even raise her eyelids.
Although she was the legitimate daughter of a well-born family, she had no choice but to be inferior in front of Ye Qinglan, a concubine of low birth.
…
Of course Zhang Yue doesn't know that Ye Qinglan seems to be focused, but in fact she has already wandered away. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation
