Chapter 384 Aunt Lu just said you are better than my senior brother
"Aunt Lu, be good. Let's not argue with Uncle Cen Bei. We should think like this. It's good enough that he can come up to us on his own initiative. That's what I said... Let's give him a little more time. Bu Bu just gave him the storybook this morning, so he probably won't be able to read more than a few pages."
"Aunt Lu, please don't be so quick to refuse. Uncle Cenbei is already trying his best."
At this moment, Cen Bei wanted to slap himself twice. He had already thought of what to say, but he couldn't say it at the critical moment. He clearly wanted to say that he liked her no matter what she looked like. This stubborn mouth really ruined his life.
In the carriage, Bu Ruo looked at Guo Lu with a smile: "Why, are you anxious because he didn't express his feelings to you?"
"Princess, please stop teasing me. I didn't..."
Bu Ruo nodded: "Yes, yes, you didn't. You said you don't like quiet people like Cen Bei. You like talkative and lively people like Jin Congcong."
Guo Lu didn't say anything. After a long while, she hesitantly said, "Actually, if you compare Divine Doctor Jin and Cen Bei... I think Cen Bei is better."
After receiving the look from his wife, Xiao Yulan secretly took note and decided to tell Cen Bei what Guo Lu had said. But before Xiao Yulan could say anything, the little girl pulled open the curtain of the car window and shouted outside, "Uncle Cen Bei, where are you? Aunt Lu just said that you are better than my senior brother!"
Everyone: ...
Cen Bei, who was in the dark, smiled with the corners of his mouth curved.
At the gate of Beining Palace, Xiao Yulan, as usual, helped Bu Ruo down from the carriage first and then carried the two little ones down, and Cen Bei also appeared for the first time and extended his hand.
The little girl smiled like an auntie: "Not bad, not bad, Aunt Bi'er, look at Uncle Cen Bei, he seems to have finally come to his senses."
Guo Lu was stunned for a moment as she watched Cen Bei disappear. Was he smiling just now? This is what he looked like when he smiled. It was quite nice.
"Let's go. If you like watching, I'll call him over when we get back and let him laugh for you. We have serious things to do today."
Guo Lu took a deep breath, looked at the palace gate in front of her, and thought of what Cen Bei had just said in her ear, and a warm feeling came over her heart.
He said, do whatever you want today, I will always be by your side to protect you and will never let you get hurt again. You are no longer the princess of Beining, you are yourself.
It turned out... he saw the hatred that had been hidden in his heart and the deep fear of this palace gate.
It turns out... he wasn't unable to speak, he was just too nervous to know what to say.
Following Bu Ruo step by step in the imperial palace where she had lived for nearly twenty years, thinking that her mother had died here, Guo Lu tried hard to calm herself down and forced back the tears in her eyes.
Bu Ruo felt her change and patted her hands: "Don't worry, today all of this will be completely over. Concubine Rou killed your mother, and today I will let her pay for your mother's life."
Guo Lu sniffed and said, "Yes, I'm not in a hurry. If the princess is in trouble, there's no need to..."
Bu Ruo looked at the people around her who were secretly glancing at her and suddenly released her aura and looked at them one by one: "There is no such thing as difficulty for me. Whoever I want to die must die, otherwise I will be so angry that I can't even sleep."
Guo Lu has been following Bu Ruo for some time, so she naturally knows her master's temper. Even though her master is usually calm and composed, if anyone provokes her... it would be like provoking the devil. Isn't the young master of the Zhang family an example?
At the palace banquet, Bu Ruo and Xiao Yulan were seated at the front row. As soon as they sat down, they heard a lot of people whispering.
"See? These are the regent and regent princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"That's her. I saw her just now when I was outside. Not only is the Regent Princess absolutely stunning, but her two children also have such charming temperaments."
A gorgeously dressed woman nearby looked at Bu Ruo with disdain: "Bah, what's the point of being good-looking? All she knows how to do is seduce men with her coquettish looks. If she hadn't flaunted herself everywhere, how could the young master of the Zhang family fall in love with her at first sight?"
"She is truly ruthless. Young Master Zhang just made a few jokes with her, and she crippled him in the street. She even asked the Prime Minister to apologize to her. If it weren't for the fact that she was the princess of a neighboring country and the Prime Minister had to consider the peace between the two countries, how could he have swallowed his anger and apologized to her?"
"If you ask me, I'd choose a wife like Lingxiu, who can manage the household and isn't jealous, unlike that princess. I heard that the regent of the Great Zhou only has her as his princess, without even a concubine or maid, and they only have one son and one daughter."
"Look at the princes of Beining. Which one of them doesn't have a bunch of children? Alas, she is really a jealous woman."
Next to the woman who was speaking sat a woman with a veil. Ever since they came in, the woman's eyes had been glued to Xiao Yulan with a misty and affectionate look. Bu Ruo knew who this family was without asking. They were the niece of Madam Zhang who was going to be sent to Xiao Yulan's bed.
"Lulu, bring me a cup of hot tea."
Guo Lu took one look at the lady and immediately understood what was going on. She quickly asked the palace maid for a pot of boiling hot tea and poured it.
"Princess, that's the wife of the Gu family. Sitting next to her is Gu Lingxiu, the niece of the Zhang family. Gu Lingxiu has been beautiful since she was a child, but she rarely shows off. Even when she attends palace banquets, she wears a veil."
"I once happened to see Gu Lingxiu's appearance. Compared to the princess, she is incomparable. This is not a compliment to the princess. Although she is indeed good-looking and a top-notch figure in this imperial city, she really can't dance in front of the princess."
"I've been observing her for a while now. Ever since you and the prince entered the palace, she's been flirting with him and looking at you with jealous eyes. I almost want to dig out her eyes and stomp on them to hear the noise."
Bu Ru nodded, listening to the Madam Gu continuing to belittle him as if no one was around. He picked up the teacup that had just been filled with hot tea on the table and threw it at Madam Gu. His aim was very good and it hit her right in the face.
"Ah! Ahhhh! My face, my face! It hurts so much, someone come quickly! Someone come quickly!"
Gu Lingxiu, who was standing next to him, was stunned by this sudden change. She quickly stood up and asked the palace maid beside her to call the imperial physician. She looked at Bu Ruo with resentment in her eyes.
"Princess, what are you doing? This is in Beining, not your Great Zhou. How dare you throw this scalding hot tea on my mother?"
"You've already crippled my cousin, and now you've ruined my mother's appearance. You're truly lawless."
"Your Majesty, the princess has such a poor manner, no grace, and no upbringing. Are you not going to do anything about it? How can such a person be worthy of being a princess?"
