Chapter 332 The domineering best friend tears apart the concubine!

People mature after becoming fathers, and the same goes for mothers, but Zhao Bailu still retains the same girlish heart as when she was a child. This shows that Gu Hanyue has truly raised her very well.

"I don't know why, but lately, the atmosphere in both the Zhao and Gu families has been a bit strange, with an indescribable sense of tension."

"Rouge, is something about to happen?"

Even when Zhao Bailu is at home, she doesn't have to worry about anything.

But you can still feel that something is wrong with the atmosphere at home!

Seeing Zhao Bailu's worried expression, Meng Yanzhi waved her hand, signaling them to take the small table away. She smiled at Zhao Bailu and said, "Don't worry, they'll hold the sky up even if it falls. We don't need to worry about it. We just need to focus on raising the child well."

"Really?" Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi and said softly, "Yanzhi, it's not that I insist on asking you, but I'm really worried about you, so I hope you can tell me the truth. Are we going to fight?"

"Yes, but we're all trying our best. We don't want a war to break out; we hope it won't." Meng Yanzhi looked at Zhao Bailu very seriously: "You should know that once a war starts, there are no winners!"

Zhao Bailu, being the daughter of a military family, naturally understood the power and significance of war. Hearing Meng Yanzhi say this, she nodded in agreement and then whispered, "Yes, you're right. War is a disaster for us and the people. It's best to avoid it."

"Hmm, it shouldn't be like this." Meng Yanzhi smiled gently, leaned back on the cushion, and touched her belly: "I'm about to give birth, and I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

Ling Xiao had said it was a boy, but Meng Yanzhi still hoped for a miracle and that the child in her womb would be a girl, so that many things could be avoided.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's concubine has arrived."

Qingdao reluctantly entered the room, gave Mingchu a disdainful look, and then turned and strode outside.

Ming Chu immediately brought the child inside and bowed to Meng Yanzhi, saying, "This concubine greets Your Majesty the Empress."

"It's only been less than two years since we last met, how come we've become so estranged?" Meng Yanzhi looked at Ming Chu's aggrieved expression and couldn't help but laugh. "Get up, I've been sleeping ever since I got back, so I haven't had time to see any guests. Are you worried about me?"

When Ming Chu walked in, he saw Meng Yanzhi's prominent belly and knew that the rumors outside were true; Meng Yanzhi was indeed pregnant.

Looking at Meng Yanzhi's large belly, Mingchu's expression was somewhat complicated. He whispered, "Is the Empress about to give birth?"

"Yes, I'm due in a month." Meng Yanzhi nodded, smiled at her, and then said, "Your little baby has grown so much! Look, she looks almost like you, so beautiful!"

Ming Chu pushed the child forward a little, also so that Meng Yanzhi could see him clearly.

The little baby, just over a year old, is at his cutest right now. His dark eyes are fixed on Meng Yanzhi, innocent and adorable.

Looking at the child, Meng Yanzhi smiled slightly, then said softly, "The child is so beautiful. Have you named him yet? What's his name?"

“Dafu, His Highness the Crown Prince said that a simple name would make the child easier to raise.”

"Royal children are not easy to raise, so we just hope that our children grow up safely."

Mingchu walked over and waved to Dafu.

"Dafu, come here, come to your mother!"

Seeing Ming Chu's behavior, Meng Yanzhi's expression changed. She had already understood what Ming Chu meant, so she frowned at her unhappily and asked, "What, is someone in the palace making things difficult for you and the child?"

Only then did Mingchu realize what was happening, and hurriedly said, "No, Your Majesty, please calm down. That's not what I meant."

"Alright, there's no need for us to be so distant." Meng Yanzhi sighed helplessly and waved her hand.

Watching the interaction between the two, Zhao Bailu frowned deeply and looked at Ming Chu with dissatisfaction, saying irritably, "If I remember correctly, you are just the Crown Prince's concubine, right? Don't forget, my Yan Zhi is the real Empress. There are many things that have no place for your son, so why are you putting on such a pretentious act?"

Ming Chu never expected that Zhao Bailu, being so straightforward, would reveal this matter to anyone so openly.

Her face was filled with shock, and when she looked at Zhao Bailu, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

"What do you mean by that? I don't understand." Ming Chu's eyebrows furrowed tightly as she snorted coldly, "What does it have to do with you that I'm talking to the Empress? What right do you have to interrupt me like that!"

"Although you are the Crown Prince's concubine, you are still the young marquis's legal wife. If you really care, you should still bow to me when you see me!"

"You came in like you didn't even see me, and now you dare to talk to me like that? You're truly a brat who was never properly taught!"

Zhao Bailu snorted coldly, her eyes filled with disdain!

"If it weren't for Rouge's support, you wouldn't deserve your current position at all!"

"Instead of wasting time making sarcastic remarks here, you should go back and think about how to teach your children manners. Otherwise, your children will grow up to be just as shameful as you!"

Zhao Bailu's tongue is one of the most sharp and eloquent in the capital.

After hearing this, Mingchu was stunned, tears welled up in her eyes, and she subconsciously looked at Meng Yanzhi.

Meng Yanzhi also noticed that Ming Chu was becoming increasingly greedy. She frowned deeply and turned her face away, not intending to speak up for him.

Helpless, Mingchu could only get up and leave with his child.

"She's just an immature little girl, why are you arguing with her?"

After Mingchu left, Meng Yanzhi looked at Zhao Bailu with a helpless expression, revealing an undisguised tolerance and doting affection.

Seeing Meng Yanzhi's expression, Zhao Bailu knew that she wasn't really angry with her. She smiled and then said lightly, "Actually, it wasn't a big deal. I just can't stand her pretentious attitude. Who does she think she is? In the end, it's all because you spoiled her!"

"It was indeed my doing that caused this trouble, but I don't regret it. I just hope she can live a more comfortable and happier life," Meng Yanzhi said honestly.

How could she not know that she should treat everyone equally? But when it came to Ming Chu, she just couldn't do it; she was biased.
