Chapter 407 What Did I Teach You?
"As for your nephew's matter, I can't help. First, I don't have much friendship with the Regent Princess and am just doing my duty as a host. Second... I think it's best not to treat your nephew."
"After all, it's hard to change one's nature, and he has a father who is the Prime Minister. If he gets better, who knows how many people he will harm in the future."
"As the head of the harem, I am the Queen Mother of Beining. If people knew that I was shielding such a scourge and had to ask another princess to treat him, I would lose my dignity."
"Sister, please think of other solutions. I can't help you with this matter. Rest well, sister. I will go back without disturbing you."
"Oh, by the way, there was a fire in Zichen Palace last night, and Concubine Rou was unable to escape and was burned to death inside. My sister's revenge has been avenged, and I can rest assured."
Looking at the Queen's leaving back, Concubine Zhang vomited blood and fainted.
Queen: Haha, another one fainted from anger.
…
The next day, Bu Ruo half-leaned on the chaise longue and laughed out loud as she listened to the spy's report: "This queen is really good at getting people angry. It's a pity that she married that old man and suffered in this deep palace for many years."
Guo Lu poured tea for Buruo while saying, "Yes, I once heard from my second aunt that when the Empress was young, she had a very cheerful personality and was a good rider. She loved riding and hunting with my eldest uncle, and she didn't act like a boudoir girl at all."
"After entering the imperial palace, he gradually became more reserved, and that genuine smile was no longer visible on his face."
"Back when that bastard emperor married the empress as his consort, he tried to please her in every way he could, but that couldn't erase the fact that he stole someone else's love. Later, when that bastard emperor ascended the throne and continued to fill his harem, he wasn't as kind to the empress anymore. Maybe it was because the empress never treated him well."
"I envy the princess very much. Not every man is willing to protect his wife's innocence and nature. I don't think there is anyone in this world who dotes on the princess more than the prince."
Bu Ruo propped herself up and looked at Guo Lu seriously and said, "A woman should never think of relying on others. The only person a person can rely on at any time is herself."
"Only when you become strong enough can you be looked up to by others, avoid being bullied, and return a slap in the face. It would be truly ridiculous to simply expect others to save you when you are in danger or being bullied."
Guo Lu was still a little confused: "Princess, are you saying...even if it's the prince, you won't rely on him?"
Bu Ruo smiled and said, "Xiao Yulan can be relied on. After all, there is only one Xiao Yulan in this world."
"But this princess must also be strong. If one party is weak, they will be looked down upon in the long run. An even match is the best combination."
"If you just keep asking for things, anyone will get tired of it after a while, and the feeling will change."
At this time, the little girl came over, looked at Guo Lu's thoughtful expression, and took her hand: "Aunt Lu, my mother is right. The beautiful mother-in-law also taught Bu Bu and my brother in this way."
"My beautiful mother-in-law said that men are the most unreliable things in this world~"
Bu Ruo: ...
Guo Lu: …
"What on earth did that woman teach you..."
The little girl thought for a moment and counted on her fingers: "The beautiful grandmother said that if you meet someone who is unkind to Bu Bu and wants to hurt Bu Bu, Bu Bu can kill him."
"We met each other in this vast sea of people. Meeting Bu Bu is his karma. Let Bu Bu not be soft-hearted."
"The beautiful granny said that if anyone with a mouth more sly than dumpling filling dares to fabricate something bad about Bubu, then Bubu should curse everyone up the family tree. Since the beautiful granny will take care of it, Bubu doesn't have to worry about the consequences of his bad words. She will help him deal with it."
"My beautiful mother-in-law said that if you make a mistake, you must first reflect on others and then calm yourself down."
"My beautiful mother-in-law said that if you can let others do something, don't do it yourself, because it will be too tiring."
"My beautiful mother-in-law said..."
"My beautiful mother-in-law said..."
"My beautiful mother-in-law said..."
Bu Ruo pulled the little girl over and held her in her arms, covering her chattering mouth: "Your beautiful mother-in-law, please stop talking. If your beautiful mother-in-law talks again... Mother will soon lose control of herself."
Woman: Humph, it’s no use if you can’t control yourself. You can’t beat me!
"Your Highness, the maid from Ninghe Palace has arrived and wants to see you."
Guo Lu frowned as she looked at the little palace maid who reported the news. "That Imperial Concubine Zhang, having failed to become the Empress, is trying to stir up trouble now? Princess, that Imperial Concubine Zhang is no pushover. Why don't we just disappear?"
Bu Ruo leaned back on the chaise longue: "Yes, why not? Otherwise, it would be too boring to stay here all day waiting for that bastard emperor to collect compensation."
Seeing this, Guo Lu could only let the person in, and she stood one step in front of Bu Ruo's left in a protective manner, which made Bu Ruo laugh.
"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. Could she dare to assassinate me openly in this palace?"
Thinking of Concubine Zhang's sinister nature, Guo Lu said worriedly, "I don't know, but from what I know about her, this palace maid must have come here with no good intentions."
"I will stand here. If she pulls out a dagger or something, I can block it for the princess and the young princess."
Bu Ruo: ...
Look, look, what has the former princess of a country become?
"Stop! Search!"
The young maidservant of Ninghe Palace was stopped outside the hall. When she heard Guo Lu's words, her face darkened instantly: "I am a member of Ninghe Palace!"
"What happened to the people from Ninghe Palace? Can't they search me? My master is of noble status. What if you bring something you shouldn't, like poison or a dagger, and hurt my princess?"
The maid looked at Guo Lu and was furious: "My queen is the imperial concubine, how could she do such a thing? Don't frame my queen with empty words."
Guo Lu hummed softly: "What's wrong with the imperial concubine? My master is still the regent princess of the Great Zhou."
"Besides, it's not like someone in your Beining has tried to assassinate my princess before. The incident with Gu Lingxiu is still fresh in people's minds. She is also the daughter of your queen's brother, sister-in-law, and sister."
"My princess was offended by your majesty's nephew, and then she crippled your majesty's nephew. Who knows if you were sent here to seek revenge?"
"Do you want to search or not? If not, please go back."
Concubine Zhang brought two maids with her as dowry into the palace. One of them was beaten to death yesterday, leaving only this one.
She was used to being arrogant around Concubine Zhang and had never suffered such humiliation. But when she thought of her own queen's order, she could only nod in agreement.
