Isn’t Chapter 385 particularly funny?
Xiao Yulan snorted lightly, not even bothering to give her a glance: "It's none of your business to say what's happening to my princess. Let alone disfigure her, even if my princess kills someone in this hall, I'll just say it's a good kill."
As Xiao Yulan spoke, she poured Bu Ruo another cup of boiling hot tea: "Ruo'er, she just said that you have no manners, no bearing, and no upbringing."
Bu Ruo looked at the teacup on the table and raised the corners of his lips.
After a few breaths...
"Ah! Ahhh! My face! You...how dare you, how dare you!"
Bu Ruo tutted her tongue twice. "What a pity! You should have opened your mouths wider when you were gossiping about me just now. Then I could have burned your tongues instead of your faces."
"You...you vicious woman, how can you be worthy of being the regent?"
"Oh? This princess is not worthy of you, but are you?"
Bu Ruo lowered her head to play with her long hair, her voice cold and without a trace of warmth: "Prime Minister Zhang said that Master Zhang was joking when he wanted to kidnap me and my children as playthings. Madam Gu also said that Master Zhang was joking. Then I ruined your reputation, and I was also joking with you."
"How is it? Is it funny? Is it really funny?"
"This princess has a bad temper. I can only listen to good things. I can't stand bad things at all, especially those who gossip about me in front of me. This kind of person is the one I love to joke with the most."
The little girl looked at him for a long time before she knew who he was. She said with a stern face, "This princess has been studying with a teacher since she was a child in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The teacher said that talking about others behind their backs is not the behavior of a gentleman, but the behavior of a villain."
"Mrs. Gu and Miss Gu called my mother a vixen who seduced men in front of everyone in the hall. Don't you have teachers in Beining? Don't you have to learn etiquette and manners since childhood?"
"If you're going to marry someone, marry someone like Miss Gu. Madam Gu calls my mother a vixen, yet she's so proud of her daughter's looks. She really says one thing and does another."
"Miss Gu, I advise you to take off that mysterious veil as soon as possible instead of just staring at my mother. Otherwise, your face will be rotten."
Gu Lingxiu had no choice but to take off her veil just as the imperial physician arrived...
"This... this daughter of the Gu family is surprisingly beautiful. No wonder the Gu family has kept her like a treasure in their mansion for so many years, never showing her to anyone."
"You know what, this Miss Gu is truly one of the most beautiful women in this imperial city. If my son can marry her, the next generation won't be bad either."
"Oh, Madam Li, what are you thinking? Madam Gu is the sister of Madam Zhang and has relatives in the Prime Minister's Mansion. They have hidden their daughter for so long, so how could they possibly be interested in a family like you and me?"
"You're right. The Gu family is quite generous. But now that they don't have a prince, do they really want to send Gu Lingxiu into the palace?"
At this time, a lady sitting near the front rolled her eyes and said, "Hey? What are you talking about? The daughter of the Gu family is pretty, but she can't compare to the Regent Princess of the Great Zhou. Just look at the two of them carefully. There is no comparison at all."
"If you ask me, Gu Lingxiu is pretty, but after looking at her for a long time, I feel that she is just so-so. Her demeanor is too artificial."
"Look at the Regent Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She's stunningly beautiful, and the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes. Her whole aura is natural, and every expression in her eyes and eyebrows is something you never tire of. Her every gesture is full of grace, just the right amount of elegance."
"And from my angle, I can see clearly that the Prince Regent and the Princess have a genuinely good relationship. They only have eyes for each other. There's no such thing as a foxy woman seducing men as Madam Gu said. They're clearly in love with each other."
"If you ask me, that young master of the Zhang family deserves it. He has relied on his father, the Prime Minister, to harm so many people over the years. Why didn't you say anything? You even joked with him. I don't believe he was joking at all. That rapist should have been deposed long ago."
"I saw it clearly. From the moment the Regent of the Great Zhou and his family came in, Gu Lingxiu's eyes seemed to be glued to the Regent. If I were the princess, I wouldn't be able to stand it. To seduce someone else's husband in front of his wife, what a piece of shit."
The woman said this while looking at her daughter-in-law sitting next to her: "You, don't learn from that Gu Lingxiu. Look more at the Regent Princess and imitate her every move."
"Stay away from those unpresentable people on a daily basis. Don't respond to any posts from the Gu family in the future to avoid being contaminated by anything bad."
The lady who was speaking was Guo Lu's third aunt. She knew that her sister-in-law died in the palace and that Guo Lu was with Buruo, and she felt very distressed. She sent money to Guo Lu on time every month for fear that she would be wronged outside.
She was born into a family of military generals and was the least likely to see these twists and turns. Now that she saw someone making things difficult for Bu Ruo, she naturally had to speak up for her, not for anything else, but just for Guo Lu to live a good life.
The little girl was delighted to hear this. She looked at the other person and said with a smile, "Auntie, you are really kind and beautiful. Everyone in this hall is either flattering the Prime Minister or playing dumb. Only you, Madam, are genuine."
"It's a shame that your aunt doesn't have any children... But it doesn't matter. This princess loves you and can't bear to see your family suffer any regrets, especially since you are..."
"Aunt Lu..." The little girl poured a cup of tea herself and handed it to Guo Lu, tapping it lightly with her finger where no one could see. "Aunt Lu, could you please help me give this cup of tea to the aunt next to that aunt? If she drinks it, she will have a baby next month, a boy."
The hall fell silent in an instant. The Di family was the maternal family of the late Concubine Xian.
In addition to Concubine Xian, the Di family also has three sons, who are Guo Lu's three uncles. The eldest uncle has been leading the troops and has not married yet. He has been at the border for more than ten years and has not returned to Beijing. It is said that the emperor is very dissatisfied with this but has no way to deal with it for the time being.
My second uncle is good at business and has two sons who are both married. After Mr. Di resigned from his official position, he took his second son back to his hometown to retire, leaving my third uncle and his family alone in this imperial city to work as officials of medium status.
But everyone also knows that the daughter-in-law of the third son of the Di family has not been pregnant for several years since she got married, but the couple has a good relationship. Although there are regrets, they live a good life. They don't have concubines or maids, and they have become a good story in this imperial city.
