As soon as the man finished speaking, Pei Lu was not angry at all. Instead, he was shocked. He put Gu Yunchu down and said, "I really shouldn't disturb my thoughts in a place like this."
Gu Yunchu then brought out the chicken soup: "Sanlang~ This is the chicken soup I made for you personally, but it took me an hour to boil. Even if you have important matters to discuss with the Ninth Thousand Years Old, you can't let yourself get tired."
After saying that, she brought the chicken soup and fed it to Pei Lu's mouth.
Pei Lu's eyes fell on Gu Yunchu's fingers holding the spoon. He remembered that Gu Yunchu could not cook. Could it be that he really neglected her during this period of time?
"Next time, just let the servants do these things, wait..."
"Since Your Majesty has a beautiful woman in his arms, and we can't come up with anything to discuss, I will take my leave."
Before Pei Lu could finish his words, the charming voice turned cold, and she stood up and left without waiting for Pei Lu to respond.
Pei Lu wanted to stop him, but Gu Yunchu was too clingy. She had always been spoiled, but now she was sitting beside him obediently waiting for him to finish his business. In the end, he couldn't say the words to stop him.
She snorted softly, "Life is a life in which one should enjoy oneself while one is alive. Why would one be with that filthy person every day?"
Her cheeks were slightly red, and Pei Lu patiently explained: "Chu'er, next time you see Jiuqian Sui, you must follow the rules, okay?"
She didn't take it seriously and showed her fingers: "I'm burned, and you don't even know how to comfort me..."
After she finished speaking, she was a few steps away from Pei Lu. Pei Lu then noticed the redness and swelling on her hand and said distressedly: "Good Chu'er, it was my carelessness. Don't be angry, Chu'er."
Gu Yunchu glanced at him and said, "Sanlang, these days, you are either worried that the minister's daughter will be neglected and affect your support in the front, or you are staying in the imperial study with the official documents. I have the general's mansion behind me, and Sanlang is not afraid that I will be unhappy and make my father rebel!"
Pei Lu had no choice but to come over and coax him, "I know Chu'er is considerate, so I did this. Don't be angry, isn't it enough for me to apologize to you?"
Her eyes curled up and she turned her back: "Okay then, I'll forgive you this time!"
Pei Lu snorted in his heart. He originally thought that Gu Yunchu had changed her personality, but he didn't expect that she was still so stupid and could be coaxed by just a few words.
He originally thought that if Gu Yunchu made trouble with him today, he would have to put Ning'er in a difficult position and play along with Gu Yunchu.
Thinking of An Ning, a hint of sincerity flashed in his eyes.
His Ning'er would never be like the person in front of him, whose mind was filled with only vying for favor.
"Okay, Chu'er, I'm still busy, you go back and rest first."
He tried to keep his tone calm, not suggesting any urging, but Gu Yunchu smiled, a bright and flamboyant smile, and gently placed his finger on the man's Adam's apple. "How about Chu'er staying in the imperial study today to accompany Sanlang?"
Pei Lu frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of hesitation: "No, Chu'er, the outside world says you are a demon concubine. If I handle government affairs and you follow me, won't that solidify this reputation?"
Gu Yunchu's stunningly beautiful eyebrows moved slightly, and she continued in a delicate voice, "It's just a title. Other concubines don't have it yet... After all, they don't have the tenderness and gentleness that I have."
"However, I think Your Majesty doesn't want me to suffer any injustice."
She took her fingers away from the man and her eyes fell on the cakes: "Then Your Majesty, please remember to eat them. I will go back first."
After all, there were some ingredients added to the pastry. Later, she wanted to see Pei Lu's embarrassing look when he was about to show off his prowess on An Ning.
She went out, but found Wen Zhiyu still standing at the door. The rain outside had started falling without her knowing when.
"Nine Thousand Years Old...was he stopped by this rain?"
The man in red clothes and black hair stood with his hands behind his back. When he saw Gu Yunchu, a slightly feminine smile appeared on his face. "The Imperial Concubine is of noble status. I'm afraid it's because of His Majesty that she is willing to talk to a 'dirty' person like me?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "filthy" and looked at the woman in front of him who was slandering him casually with a cold and inquiring look.
Gu Yunchu didn't expect that Wen Zhiyu not only didn't leave, but also heard her conversation with Pei Lu.
She didn't get angry either, and smiled openly: "Nine Thousand Years Old, do you care how I address you?"
Wen Zhiyu choked. Wasn’t the look in his eyes just now creepy enough?
She always hid when she saw him before.
"After all... a beauty like the Imperial Concubine is very important to Wen."
As for the father-in-law next to him, the smile on his face had long disappeared because of Gu Yunchu's address.
This is their Nine Thousand Years Old. Even if the Imperial Noble Consort is favored, she should not frame their master like this. After all, even His Majesty has to give the Nine Thousand Years Old some face.
Gu Yunchu smiled and said softly, "I was wrong just now. I wonder if the Ninth Prince will give me a chance to apologize?"
It was clearly just a chuckle, and clearly just a few simple words, but Wen Zhiyu felt that the woman in front of him was deliberately approaching him and teasing him.
Gu Yunchu took the umbrella from Wanchun and said, "Since Jiuqiansui is silent, I will take it as your consent."
"I will send Jiuqian back as an apology."
Wanchun hummed in dissatisfaction. The East Factory was so far away from Jinhua Palace. Normally, their queen would travel in a sedan chair. It would take a long time to go to the East Factory and then come back.
However, the Ninth Thousand Year Old would probably not agree.
Wen Zhiyu looked at the umbrella that was held out to him and for a moment he couldn't say no.
"Then I will respectfully obey your command."
To return to the East Factory from the Imperial Study, one had to pass through the Imperial Garden, but the rain stopped before the two of them reached the Imperial Garden.
"The rain has stopped. It seems I have to reschedule my apology. Why don't you come to Jinhua Palace tonight? I'll treat you to a play."
Wen Zhiyu said nothing, nor did he say whether he was going or not, and just left.
Wanchun was puzzled and asked, "This Jiuqiansui is really a weird person. Is he coming or not?"
Also, why did they invite that opera troupe to Jinhua Palace today?
"It's just some polite words. When you go back, just ask the servants to prepare more food."
She glanced at the fish in the pavilion, exerted force with her wrist, hit the fish on the forehead, and flipped its body sideways. Seeing this, the other fish fled.
She didn't know whether Wen Zhiyu fell into the trap or not, but Pei Lu was always successful in catching people.
A triumphant smile flashed across her eyes: "Remember to catch that fish for me, tonight..."
She paused and said lightly: "Snack~"
The night in early spring was a little chilly. She was lying alone on the chaise longue, bored, flipping through the storybook in her hand. She propped herself up out of boredom. Sure enough, this ancient storybook was very boring.
The cold wind blew in from the window and she shivered.
"Chun Tao, close the window."
…
No one answered her.
"Chun Tao?"
She tried to shout again, but someone covered her mouth from behind.
