"Little maid, you're talking nonsense, slandering me! Drag her away and give her a slap!" Imperial Concubine Su was furious. When did even this maid start talking about her so boldly? If she didn't teach her a lesson, would she still take Imperial Concubine Su seriously?

But was the soup she made really so unpalatable that it made His Majesty vomit? Concubine Su had tasted it herself, and it was just a little bitter, not enough to cause vomiting, right? After all, good medicine tastes bitter, and bitterness means it is good, so drinking it will definitely be healthy.

But in the end, I still annoyed His Majesty. Maybe I will never be able to cook delicious food for His Majesty all day long like Gu Yanyue did in this life, and please His Majesty so much...

As time passed, Gu Yanyue's belly gradually grew bigger, and in the blink of an eye it was the beginning of autumn.

Gu Yanyue maintained her figure very well. She did not gain weight during pregnancy. Her limbs were slender, but her belly was round.

Concubine Su was due to give birth in two months, and General Su was planning to send his niece to the palace.

She proposed the idea of ​​a beauty contest to Yuwen Ran in the court.

"Your Majesty, isn't it time to proceed with this selection? After all, there's a vacancy in the harem, and Concubine Su is nearing her due date. This is the perfect time to select a concubine."

When Yuwen Ran heard this, he suddenly felt a headache. General Su was no longer talking about the matter of enthroning the queen, but was instead planning a beauty contest.

"I've been busy reviewing memorials and government affairs recently, and I haven't had enough rest. I'm very tired. I'll make a decision on the selection later."

General Su's face darkened. This was undoubtedly another excuse, so he didn't say anything more and could only take other measures.

Yuwen Ran originally thought that the matter would just pass, but unexpectedly someone spread rumors about Gu Yanyue, and even spread them throughout the entire palace. Yuwen Ran was very upset, but Gu Yanyue didn't care at all. She just had to maintain a good mood and wait for the child to be born safely.

But the situation on Yuwen Ran's side was very bad. Not only were there rumors in the court that Gu Yanyue was domineering and blocking the draft, but Yuwen Ran was confused. It was obvious that he himself did not want to participate in the draft, so why was Gu Yanyue being blamed?

At this moment, old ministers represented by the Grand Tutor wrote letters to persuade Yuwen Ran to go through with the selection and not to be misled by Gu Yanyue again.

It seems that since Yu Wenran is not participating in the selection, everyone thinks that Gu Yanyue has bewitched him?

Yu Wenran is now very depressed all day long, but when he is with Gu Yanyue, he tries his best to control his bad mood and just gives her a gentle smile, not wanting her to worry too much about him.

Gu Yanyue lived a very leisurely life. On weekdays, she either went for a walk in the Imperial Garden or cooked delicious food for Yu Wenran to taste. She also often touched her belly and talked to the unborn baby in her belly. She could spend a whole day just telling him stories.

However, the good times did not last long. After who knows how many days, Gu Yanyue came back from admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden and suddenly saw someone fainted outside the study.

She walked over and saw that it was the tutor. Seeing him fall down, she thought that he must have been kneeling in the study for a long time and fainted due to hypoglycemia.

Gu Yanyue helped him up, took out the petal candy she made from her pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.

After the Grand Tutor recovered, he looked at Yanyue's flower petal candy with some curiosity: "What is this thing? It's so magical?"

Gu Yanyue smiled and explained, "Oh, this, this is what I made myself. I usually have some free time, so I often make some snacks to carry with me. This is called flower petal candy. It's sweet and mostly contains sugar. Since you are old and have low blood sugar, my flower petal candy can come in handy."

As he spoke, Gu Yanyue took out the remaining candies in his pocket and wrapped them in a layer of translucent white paper. The small and cute shape of the petal candies could still be seen. There were five petals, in pink, blue and orange, and they tasted very sweet.

This is really clever and skillful! The Grand Tutor couldn't help but look at Gu Yanyue with new eyes.

The Taifu's interaction with Gu Yanyue also made him change his opinion of her.

Rumor has it that Gu Yanyue is a cruel and ruthless person who spreads lies to confuse the people, seduces His Majesty, and interferes with the selection of talents. He is a tyrannical and unreasonable person.

But when the Grand Tutor met her this time, he didn't feel that the rumors had anything to do with Gu Yanyue.

Gu Yanyue spoke clearly, was gentle and kind, and she had just saved him. She did not put on airs as a concubine and looked completely kind. The Grand Tutor had originally wanted to kneel down and beg His Majesty to depose Gu Yanyue from her position as concubine, but now it seemed that His Majesty had found a treasure!

"Just now, Your Majesty saved me." The Grand Tutor bowed and bowed to express his gratitude.

Gu Yanyue smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, Grand Master. This is just a small favor. Grand Master has hypoglycemia, so you need to pay more attention to your health. These petal candies are given to you. Only when you have a healthy body can you assist His Majesty in his work!"

As Gu Yanyue spoke, she spread out her hands and gave all the petal candies to the tutor.

The Grand Tutor was very touched. He looked at the candy as if it were some precious treasure. It turned out that Gu Yanyue had given him something extraordinary!

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!" The Taifu accepted the flower petal candy, put it in his hand and looked at it again and again, treating it as a treasure.

Gu Yanyue was a little stunned. These were just a few candies, but she was taking them too seriously...

However, Gu Yanyue also began to care about the rumors about herself. She asked the palace maids more and found out that the emperor did not agree with the selection of concubines. The ministers all thought that it was Gu Yanyue who used words to deceive the emperor, so that the selection of concubines was not carried out.

But Yuwen Ran never mentioned anything about the court affairs in front of her and had a smiling face all day long. Gu Yanyue thought that he was really not in big trouble.

But looking at the situation now, it seems that things are much worse than she imagined. The ministers have all written letters of advice. Yuwen Ran must be very upset, but in order not to make Gu Yanyue worry, he pretends to be fine in front of her.

Gu Yanyue couldn't let Yu Wenran bear all this alone, she had to do something.

at night.

"Your Majesty, please proceed with the selection. Our foundation is unstable now, so this is the only way."

After hearing what Gu Yanyue said, Yu Wenran finally couldn't hold it in anymore. The smile on his face disappeared and he started to think about the draft.

"Your Majesty, this is all for our better future. You can't be so selfish. We need to have a bigger picture."

Gu Yanyue persuaded him again, and this time Yu Wenran felt that what she said made some sense, so he had to agree.

So, the talent show began. Concubine Su's cousin also participated in the talent show, and it went very smoothly.

It’s a pity that Concubine Su found out about this. She was very jealous. She couldn’t even handle Gu Yanyue, and now there was another one. She was really annoyed.

Concubine Su was so angry that she asked someone to send the owner of the teahouse to spread rumors about her cousin!
