"Ayue, what if the new women who enter the palace are too beautiful and I lose control of myself and really favor them and make them pregnant with my child?" This was the first time that Yuwen Ran saw Gu Yanyue so jealous. In the past, he was the only one who was jealous of Gu Yanyue. Today, it was a rare day that he saw Gu Yanyue jealous of him, so he wanted to tease Gu Yanyue.
Yuwen Ran's words sounded fake. Not to mention the women who might enter the palace in the future, he didn't even recognize many of the concubines in the palace now. His names and appearances didn't match at all.
But Gu Yanyue was so jealous that she didn't care whether what Yuwen Ran said was true or not. She just tugged at his collar fiercely and said fiercely, "Then don't blame me for regicide. I think the news of the emperor's death will spread throughout the capital within the next day."
After hearing this, Yuwen Ran was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. He put his arm around her waist and leaned over to whisper in her ear, "I already have a lovely wife at home. Not to mention those in the palace, I look down on them. Those outside the palace should forget about entering the palace now. There are only two words - no way."
Gu Yanyue was just moved by Yuwen Ran's words, but she didn't expect to lose her composure the next second. "After all, although my wife is delicate, she is also very strong. Even if I were given a hundred more courage, I would not dare to act rashly."
"Fierce?" When Gu Yanyue heard the word fierce from Yu Wen Ran's mouth, her temples throbbed and she was almost unable to hold back her anger at Yu Wen Ran.
Yuwen Ran was still thinking about what to say to Gu Yanyue when Xiao Mo's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Miss Qin has been picked up. She will be able to enter the palace in a while."
Gu Yanyue let go of her hand and said, "After I finish talking to Ruoruo, I'll come back and deal with you."
Yu Wenran looked at Gu Yanyue in his arms and said with a leisurely smirk, "Okay, I'll wait for Madam to come back at Fengqi Palace."
Gu Yanyue looked at Yuwen Ran, who was grinning mischievously above her. Seeing that Yuwen Ran was going to cause trouble again when she came back, she was furious and shouted at him, "Get lost!"
Qin Ruoruo came to the palace because Gu Yanyue always suspected that the child in Liu Yanyan's belly was fake, so she asked Qin Ruoruo to go to the palace and take Liu Yanyan's pulse at Yanxi Palace to see whether the child was real or fake.
In addition, Yuwen Ran needed He Fangyan's help to deal with Prince Xiang, so Yuwen Ran took advantage of the fact that Gu Yanyue was in a bad mood in recent days and summoned Qin Ruoruo to the palace to accompany her for a few days, and asked Qin Ruoruo to bring He Fangyan into the palace as well.
He wanted to discuss with him face to face how to deal with the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. The Zhenbei Marquis probably felt the pressure and began to have closer and closer contact with Prince Xiang. On the other hand, he felt that Liu Yanyan was pregnant now, and no matter what, Yuwen Ran would definitely not do anything to the Zhenbei Marquis.
The fact that Marquis Zhenbei suddenly became so bold should be related to the baby in Liu Yanyan's belly. This just fulfilled Yuwen Ran's wish. He asked his secret guards to monitor Marquis Zhenbei's movements in the next few days. If they found anything wrong, they should not act rashly but collect evidence. He was waiting to settle the score with Marquis Zhenbei later.
As soon as they arrived at the palace, He Fangyan was led by Zheng Hai to the imperial study to see Yu Wenran. Qin Ruoruo was going to see Gu Yanyue, so Ah Yan led her there. Qin Ruoruo saw that the palace avenues were all carpeted, and there were many more palace maids walking around than before.
Qin Ruoruo couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, so she asked, "Sister Yan, it's not even winter yet, why are they already laying out the carpet? Aren't they feeling too hot? And there seem to be a lot more palace maids walking around. I remember they just recruited palace maids this year. Why are they recruiting again so soon?"
Qin Ruoruo was sweet-talking and had long since become friends with the maids in Gu Yanyue's palace. Ah Yan naturally liked this Miss Qin, so he explained to her, "This was ordered by the Empress Dowager. She was worried that Concubine Liu would be pregnant with her first child, and since she had fallen into the water before, she was afraid that she might hurt the baby while walking."
"The extra maids in this palace were also bought by the Empress Dowager, who had Eunuch Zheng Hai go out of the palace to buy them for Concubine Liu. She said she was worried that Concubine Liu's palace would be short of servants. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager is a kind person. No matter how the Empress Dowager and Concubine Liu act, they just let them do whatever they want. But I still feel sorry for the Empress Dowager."
A Yan is Gu Yanyue's maid. She speaks without any consideration. Because of Gu Yanyue's relationship, she treats Qin Ruoruo as her own and hardly hides her disgust for Concubine Liu and the Queen Mother.
Especially since the Queen Mother treated the baby in Liu Yanyan's belly as a treasure, and when Gu Yanyue was pregnant, the Queen Mother never asked a single question from beginning to end, which made her feel sorry for Gu Yanyue from the bottom of her heart.
But now she had let it go. So what if Liu Yanyan was favored by the Empress Dowager? Since she became pregnant, Yuwen Ran had never visited her once in Yanxi Palace. He only knew that he had stayed there for a while that night, and that was because he thought Gu Yanyue had been bullied. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have set foot in Yanxi Palace until Liu Yanyan gave birth.
She said, "But apart from these, the Queen Mother and Concubine Liu haven't done anything excessive. Once Concubine Liu gives birth, they should stop causing trouble."
Qin Ruoruo raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is the emperor's attitude?"
Ah Yan smiled and said, "If His Majesty really looked at Concubine Liu differently because she was pregnant, then Concubine Liu wouldn't have made such a big fuss. And it's really thanks to Concubine Liu's pregnancy. We used to have to go to the imperial kitchen to get food for Concubine Liu. But since Concubine Liu became pregnant, His Majesty has been taking care of all of her meals. People who didn't know would think she was pregnant."
After he finished speaking, Ah Yan seemed to recall something and said, "Miss Shangguan also entered the palace today. She said she was there to visit Concubine Liu. She arrived just before you, Miss Qin, and she's probably already at Yanxi Palace. If you were a little quicker, you might have bumped into her."
Shangguan Yi? Qin Ruoruo smiled, and said with a look of regret: "That's really unfortunate. I have always wanted to meet Miss Shangguan, but there has never been a chance. I hope there will be a chance in the future."
Ah Yan followed up on what Qin Ruoruo said and asked, "Does Miss Qin also like Miss Shangguan?"
Qin Ruoruo said casually: "Well, after all, she is a famous talented woman in the capital, who wouldn't like her?"
