"Your Majesty, I have no ill intentions. I just want to take good care of Wonton. Madam Zhenguo...she actually pushed me into the water. I am innocent!" Shangguan Yi also covered her face and cried for the sake of face. She looked like she was really sad.
Yu Wenran saw that Xiao Yuntun choked on the water. If he had rushed over just now, he would probably have ended up like Gu Yanyue.
"The eldest princess is frail and delicate. Why should she take care of Wonton herself?" Yu Wenran frowned and spoke in a very unfriendly tone.
The Empress Dowager was about to lose her temper when Shangguan Yi hurriedly explained, "I know that the Emperor favors Wonton. I know that I am not favored by the Emperor, so I also want to do something for the Emperor. I am not as vicious as the Emperor thinks. I just like the Emperor too much!"
The eldest princess was not born to the empress dowager, and she had no blood relationship with Yuwen Ran, so it was not surprising that she said such words.
But Gu Yanyue's face had turned slightly darker at this time. She pursed her lips tightly, as if she was a little unhappy, but she didn't say anything.
Yuwen Ran felt uncomfortable after hearing this, as if he had eaten a fly. "It is true that I favor Wonton, but if the eldest princess wants to win my favor by doing so, then there is no need for her to do so. Even if all the women in the world died, I would not like the eldest princess."
The words were so decisive that Gu Yanyue felt a little comforted in her heart, and then Yu Wenran held her hand.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother narrowed her eyes. "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Besides, the Emperor is the ruler of a country. How can he focus all his attention on one woman? Madam Zhenguo's behavior has already committed the seven grounds for divorce!"
"Could it be that your mother's eyesight is failing? Madam Zhenguo never mentioned her from beginning to end. It's just that I like Madam Zhenguo, what does it have to do with her?" Yuwen Ran protected Gu Yanyue behind him, and a warm current welled up in Gu Yanyue's heart. Who said that emperors were the most ruthless since ancient times? Yuwen Ran treated her very well.
The Queen Mother looked at the two men in front of her and wanted to order someone to drag them away and behead them immediately, but she couldn't. Now Yuwen Ran was no longer a puppet that she could manipulate at will.
"But even if the emperor likes Lady Zhenguo, he should at least fill the harem for the sake of the royal offspring. Please give Yier a chance! Yier really likes the emperor." Seeing that Yuwen Ran was protecting her too closely, the empress dowager had to soften her attitude.
Shangguan Yi echoed the words at the right time, which made Yuwen Ran seem a little aggressive.
"Okay, you want a chance, right? Then the princess will serve Madam Zhenguo until she is satisfied. If Madam Zhenguo is happy, I will give you a chance." Yuwen Ran had a harmless smile on his face, and he was sure that Shangguan Yi was too arrogant to agree.
As expected, Shangguan Yi's face turned grim, but the Queen Mother agreed before she did, "Okay, I'll accept it for her!"
Shangguan Yi looked at the Queen Mother reluctantly. The Queen Mother glanced at Shangguan Yi, and Shangguan Yi did not lose her temper.
"Since the welcoming ceremony has been completed, I will leave first!" After saying that, he took Gu Yanyue away.
The Queen Mother watched the two men leave, her eyes becoming increasingly fierce. "Idiots!"
Shangguan Yi felt a little aggrieved after being scolded by the Queen Mother. "Mother, why did you agree to the Emperor's request? I won't let you serve that bitch!"
"Can't you see? The emperor only has Gu Yanyue in his heart. Isn't this an opportunity for you to serve them? Take this opportunity to poison the food. Kill one person and it will be counted as one. Kill two and it will be counted as two!"
The vicious look in the Queen Mother's eyes made Shangguan Yi take a step back. "No, Mother, I have only loved the Emperor since I was a child. I will not poison the Emperor."
"There are so many men in the world, why are you so useless?" The Queen Mother hated people who acted on impulse the most, and Shangguan Yi happened to be such a person. If she didn't think Shangguan Yi was still useful, she would have abandoned Shangguan Yi long ago.
Shangguan Yi felt wronged when the Queen Mother said this, and tears flowed down her face. "But I only like the Emperor!"
The Queen Mother's head ached from Shangguan Yi's crying, so she had no choice but to let her go. "Since that's the case, you should try your best. I heard that the Emperor would go to Gu Yanyue's courtyard whenever he had time. Isn't it an opportunity for you to please Gu Yanyue? Once you two are married, are you still afraid that the Emperor will no longer have you in his heart?"
After hearing the Queen Mother's words, Shangguan Yi felt that she had hope and quickly wiped away her tears. "Your Majesty, you are wise. It is I who have been too willful. I will go and prepare now."
"The emperor has no feelings for you, but if the emperor is out of control, he has no say in who he favors." The empress dowager was afraid that Shangguan Yi would mess up, so she gave her some special advice. Shangguan Yi blushed and then she smiled and retreated.
Meanwhile, Yuwen Ran was relieved after sending Gu Yanyue back to the palace. "Ayue, don't worry about the Princess's affairs. If you have any grudges, just vent them. Don't worry about her status. I'll back you up!"
Gu Yanyue smiled gently. She knew what Yu Wenran was thinking, but Shangguan Yi had been making things difficult for her for a long time, so she naturally would not be merciful.
"I understand, Your Majesty, just rest assured!" Gu Yanyue gave Yuwen Ran a mischievous smile. She had never thought that Yuwen Ran had such a childish and cute side. This made Yuwen Ran feel relieved. "I'll go change my clothes and come back to accompany Ah Yue!"
Gu Yanyue nodded, and the next second she saw that little Yuntun seemed reluctant to let Yuwen Ran leave. She stretched out her little hand and babbled towards Yuwen Ran's Beijing.
"Wuntun, don't you want your father to leave? If your father doesn't leave, go change your clothes and come back!" Gu Yanyue coaxed little Yuntun with a smile. Little Yuntun seemed to understand what Gu Yanyue said and giggled.
This smile dispelled all the haze in Gu Yanyue's heart.
Not long after, Shangguan Yi dressed very elegantly and came to Gu Yanyue's palace with her maid.
Originally, Shangguan Yi was waiting for Gu Yanyue to give her a way out and let the maid serve Gu Yanyue, so that the matter would be over.
But Gu Yanyue acted as if she didn't see Shangguan Yi. She was only busy teasing the little wonton in her arms without saying a word.
"Ahem, here comes the princess!" Shangguan Yi coughed lightly and signaled Gu Yanyue.
Gu Yanyue then looked up at Shangguan Yi, "Since we're here, let's get started! The Emperor said that the Princess should do it herself, so why is the Princess bringing so many people with her?"
"This princess is afraid that I can't handle it alone, so I need to bring more people to serve the emperor!" Shangguan Yi didn't take Gu Yanyue's words to heart at all, and looked everywhere for Yuwen Ran.
But Yuwen Ran was not there at all. How could Shangguan Yi find Yuwen Ran?
