If the Queen Mother continues to quibble with Gu Yanyue, people will inevitably think that she is going too far.
The Queen Mother only nodded nonchalantly at this moment, not taking the matter to heart: "I also know that you are not feeling well after giving birth to the little princess, so there is no need to pay your respects."
Vaguely remembering something, the Queen Mother snorted in dissatisfaction and continued, "Queen, I thought you could give birth to a big fat boy for the Emperor, but I didn't expect that this first child would only be a little princess."
The empress dowager's implication was that Gu Yanyue was not capable.
Hearing this, Gu Yanyue narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression calm and composed, "Your Highness, no matter whether the child I gave birth to is a prince or a princess, as long as they are my own flesh and blood, I will treat them equally."
After a pause, Gu Yanyue continued calmly, "I will definitely not treat Little Wonton unfairly just because of the difference in gender."
In just a few words, the Queen Mother was speechless.
Shangguan Yi took two steps forward, twisting her slender waist. She gently raised her hand to pour a cup of tea for Yuwen Ran. Turning around and looking at Gu Yanyue, who looked unhappy in front of her, she spoke softly, "Empress, you just gave birth to a child. You should take good care of yourself. Otherwise, I'm afraid your figure will be out of shape in the future..."
Before Shangguan Yi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Gu Yanyue.
"Miss Shangguan, please don't bother with this kind of thing."
Then, Gu Yanyue looked up and down at Shangguan Yi in front of her, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Miss Shangguan, it's better for you to worry about yourself. After all, no matter what, even if Miss Shangguan hasn't given birth, her current figure is..."
"It's hard to put it into words."
Faced with Gu Yanyue's sarcasm, Shangguan Yi's face suddenly changed.
Her face was full of anger, and she couldn't help but glare at Gu Yanyue fiercely.
It was at this moment that Yuwen Ran raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Yi in front of him, his eyes full of coldness. "Miss Shangguan, if you are dissatisfied with anything, you don't have to come to the Queen in the future. After all, you know what the Queen's temper is like."
Yu Wenran never meant to blame Gu Yanyue in his words.
On the contrary, Yuwen Ran always protected Gu Yanyue.
The Empress Dowager, who had remained silent the entire time, slowly stood up. As she was leaving, she simply fixed her gaze on Yuwen Ran, "Your Majesty, please come with me."
Yuwen Ran was dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to go.
Before leaving, the Queen Mother did not forget to look at Gu Yanyue with a complicated expression.
When she emerged from the palace, the Empress Dowager spoke without hesitation, "Your Majesty, you know Yi'er, this silly girl. She has always been well-behaved and docile. In my opinion, Yi'er is the one who will bring good fortune to her husband."
What a lucky wife.
Yuwen Ran's expression was as calm as usual. He looked at the Queen Mother nonchalantly, and even his voice became colder when he spoke: "Queen Mother, instead of continuing to care about my affairs, you should worry more about Prince Xiang's marriage."
Thinking of the fact that Prince Xiang had never married, Yuwen Ran added, "Prince Xiang has reached the right age to marry, and it is only right that he should marry as soon as possible."
Remembering that the Queen Mother had always been fond of Shangguan Yi, Yuwen Ran's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "Since the Queen Mother likes Miss Shangguan so much, why not betroth Miss Shangguan to Prince Xiang?"
After hearing what Yuwen Ran said, the empress dowager's face turned pale and she was speechless for a moment.
Hearing some noise coming from the bedroom, Yuwen Ran knew that Xiao Yuntun had woken up.
He didn't stay any longer and went straight into the bedroom.
The Queen Mother and Shangguan Yi looked at each other and followed.
The baby lying in the cradle is as delicate as a piece of jade and very adorable.
Shangguan Yi couldn't help but reach out her hand, she also wanted to hug little Wonton.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shangguan Yi picked up the little Wonton, the little Wonton in her arms started crying loudly.
For a moment, Shangguan Yi attracted everyone's attention.
Her situation was very embarrassing, and she felt that all this was caused by Xiao Wonton.
While no one else was noticing, Shangguan Yi simply pinched Xiao Yuntun hard.
Seeing this, Gu Yanyue frowned and stood up. She took Little Wonton directly and glanced at Shangguan Yi in front of her. "Little Wonton has always disliked strangers getting close to him. Miss Shangguan shouldn't have forced Little Wonton to hold him like this."
While speaking, Gu Yanyue gently shook the wonton twice.
But little Wonton still kept crying.
Little Wonton has always been very well-behaved, so he shouldn't be so noisy.
Gu Yanyue couldn't help but frown tightly, and looked carefully again. Seeing that Xiao Yuntun's white and tender arm was covered with bruises, she simply walked up to Shangguan Yi and slapped her hard.
“Snap—”
This slap shocked Shangguan Yi.
She definitely had not expected that Gu Yanyue would do such a thing.
Shangguan Yi reached out to cover her cheek, but couldn't help but stare at her with wide eyes, her eyes full of disbelief towards Gu Yanyue: "Empress, why did you hurt someone?"
Even now, Shangguan Yi is still stubborn.
Gu Yanyue sneered and said without thinking, "Miss Shangguan, I'm sure you know exactly why I hit you. Even if I don't say it, you should know it very well."
But after hearing what Gu Yanyue said, Shangguan Yi still refused to give in.
She glared at Gu Yanyue fiercely, and then said, "I didn't pinch the little princess. The little princess's crying wasn't caused by me."
Shangguan Yi was noisy and boisterous at first.
But it was in this situation that Shangguan Yi said what was in her mind.
"Miss Shangguan, I have yet to tell you what you did. Are you confessing now?"
While speaking, Gu Yanyue raised his eyebrows slightly and approached her step by step.
Yu Wenran on the side had a very ugly expression on his face.
He obviously had not expected that Shangguan Yi would be so bold and presumptuous. After all, no matter what, Xiao Yuntun is the current noble little princess. How could someone like Shangguan Yi hurt her at will?
The most surprised person was the Queen Mother.
In the eyes of the empress dowager, Shangguan Yi has always been a gentle and considerate girl, and she would never do such a thing.
But before the Queen Mother could defend Shangguan Yi, she heard Gu Yanyue speak again, "Miss Shangguan, I believe you are also very clear about Xiao Yuntun's identity. You should be responsible for your own behavior."
Xiao Yuntun is a little princess, and Shangguan Yi is just the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother.
