If it was an ordinary servant, she would have punished him long ago. After hearing Gu Qingsheng's shout, Lin was at a loss. She looked at Prince Duan and Gu Fengnan but didn't care about it at all.
Lin's heart grew heavier, and the corners of her mouth twitched as she suppressed her emotions.
"I didn't discipline the servants well...it was just a bowl of soup..."
"I was the one who poured out the soup, and I poured it all out without leaving a drop."
Prince Duan frowned and was about to speak. When Lin's face turned ugly, Gu Qingsheng said
"This Aunt Lin has never given birth to a child since she was a concubine, so it's normal that she can't take care of people."
"I'm a weak and feeble patient, and you're feeding me snow swallows? Such tonics will only have a negative effect on me."
"I was actually thinking of asking Auntie what she meant by this, but I didn't expect her to be the first to complain."
"If I eat the snow swallow while I'm so weak, at best I'll suffer from constant abdominal pain, vomiting, and weakness, and at worst I'll die. I don't know what Auntie is thinking."
This sentence successfully made Prince Duan swallow the complaint that was about to come out, and he looked at Lin with eyes full of inquiry.
If Gu Qingsheng really ate that snow swallow, that would be truly extraordinary.
Gu Fengnan has always been a bit straightforward. He immediately stood up and walked to Gu Qingsheng to look around.
"Are you okay, Kiyomori? You didn't eat a single bite of that, did you?"
After saying that, he patted his chest again
"Thank goodness you're okay, thank goodness you're okay."
This action made Lin even more stunned. She never thought that Gu Qingsheng would do this. He caught her off guard from the beginning. Her face changed a lot and she finally said
"Well, I don't know... I really didn't know that Xueyan would cause such serious consequences..."
"I just heard from others that snow swallows are good for the body. I thought you might not be feeling well recently, so I spent a lot of money to buy them for you. As for the rest, I really don't know, Qingsheng."
She was so anxious that she almost cried. If Prince Duan became resentful towards her because of this little thing, it would be really not worth it.
I didn't intend to make a big fuss about this matter, but it was just because Lin wanted to do something and take it back.
Immediately waved his hand
"However, after all, Auntie doesn't have any children, so it's only natural that she doesn't understand this matter."
Gu Qingsheng sighed
"If mother were still alive, she would definitely..."
When the late princess was mentioned, everyone present could no longer sit still.
Originally, the reason for Lin to be a concubine was to let her take care of Gu Qingsheng. Now that Gu Qingsheng made such a sigh, her fear began to grow. It was Prince Duan who said
"Why are you talking about this on a day like this? Hurry up and sit down to eat. The whole family is waiting for you."
She then sat down. Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time her expression became nervous, and she touched her belly aimlessly.
The atmosphere during the meal was very tense. After the meal, the group entered the palace. Because there were so many people, the journey into the palace also needed to be screened.
The sedan chairs were at the palace gate, and several eunuchs and soldiers were searching them one by one.
From this angle, not far ahead is the sedan chair from Chu Zhiyao's mansion. He used to ride in this sedan chair every time he entered the palace, but now there is a different person inside.
After lowering the curtain, Gu Qingsheng closed his eyes and rested.
Because of the number of participants, Gu Fengnan entered the palace earlier than them. Lin didn't say much along the way, but looked worried.
"This seat is obviously mine! Why are you trying to take it?"
A sharp female voice came from the front, which was very harsh on the eardrums. Gu Qingsheng clicked his tongue and opened the curtain to look. What a coincidence that the incident happened in the direction of Luo Zhaozhao's sedan.
The woman was wearing a bright peach-colored dress and had a small leather whip on her waist. She stood under Luo Zhaozhao's sedan chair, pinching her waist and looking at Luo Zhaozhao with a beautiful frown.
"We were clearly here first. The current emperor just went out for a while, so how come we've been usurped here when we came back?"
Following the direction the woman pointed, there was an exquisite sedan next to Luo Zhaozhao's carriage.
I recognized that this woman was Liang Zhouqing, the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor and Grand Preceptor. She was known for her arrogance and domineering behavior. It seemed that she was traveling with her brother some time ago and was not in the capital.
Like Gu Qingsheng, he just returned and caught up with this martial arts test. The grandson of the Grand Tutor should also take part in the martial arts test. Liang Zhouqing came to watch her brother's competition.
According to Liang Zhouqing, the sedan chair was probably occupying a spot, but Liang Zhouqing happened to go out for something, so Luo Zhaozhao thought that no one had cut in line when the empty sedan chair was here.
But the one who got in trouble was Liang Zhouqing.
Luo Zhaozhao stuck her head out of the sedan chair. She looked the same as she did last time at the Empress Dowager's side, gentle and charming, as delicate as a lotus flower emerging from water.
"Is this Miss Liang's seat? I'm so sorry. I'm new here and I'm not used to it. I don't know much about the rules of the capital. I'll give way to Miss Liang."
After saying this, he gave instructions to the driver.
In Gu Qingsheng's eyes, this was a good show, because in the capital, everyone knew that Liang Zhouqing hated this kind of delicate girl the most.
"You took my place, how can you just leave like that?"
She raised her eyebrows with an unhappy look on her face, turned to the front, looked at the sign on Luo Zhaozhao's carriage, and read it out loud.
"Deputy General Chu..."
Then he sneered
"I was wondering who was behind all the fuss, but it turns out it's Luo Zhaozhao, the daughter of the Anyang Governor that Deputy General Chu recently risked his life to marry."
Luo Zhaozhao's face turned pale. She felt irritated every time she heard about this matter with Chu Zhiyao.
After observing Luo Zhaozhao's expression and knowing that Luo Zhaozhao didn't like to hear this, Liang Zhouqing became even more excited.
"I heard that Miss Luo is a well-known talented woman in Anyang. How could you do such a thing as getting pregnant before getting married? You might even make the governor lose face because of you, right?"
"Besides, I originally planned to marry into the general's mansion, which was considered marrying up. I didn't expect General Chu to be demoted to a deputy general. This is going to be interesting."
Luo Zhaozhao's lips turned white with anger, and she looked at Liang Zhouqing's smug look.
"Don't go too far, Miss Liang. I just accidentally took your seat. The worst that can happen is I'll just have to queue again. Why are you so aggressive? I've already apologized..."
"So what if I'm aggressive?"
Liang Zhouqing sneered
"What I can't stand the most is women like you who rely on your bodies to climb to the top. What's the difference between you and the prostitutes in the brothel..."
People always like to watch this kind of joke. The more people pointed fingers at Luo Zhaozhao, the more helpless Luo Zhaozhao became. He covered his abdomen with one hand and cried out in pain.
"Why, you still want to blame others, I didn't touch you!"
