The long convoy started to move slowly. The sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground was a bit dull, just enough to cover up Gu Qingqing's words.
But Gu Qingqing knew that Sun Chongming must have heard it, because there was a moment of hesitation and embarrassment on his face.
She never knew how to forgive Sun Chongming and still loved that bitch Gu Wanying!
Fortunately, he pretended to be so affectionate and actually deceived her.
She said that Sun Chongming looked at her with a strange look, sometimes cold, sometimes very enthusiastic.
She didn't dare to think about who he was thinking about when he did that kind of thing.
She wanted to ask, but was afraid of hearing the most unacceptable answer.
"Qingqing, what are you thinking about? You are my most beloved wife, and you will be for the rest of my life." Sun Chongming took her hand and placed it on his lips and kissed it gently.
Gu Qingqing's face turned red again, and her thoughts became a little blurry.
Forget it, as long as she is the one by his side, she will be able to completely erase that bitch Gu Wanying from his heart!
She has the confidence!
The convoy left the city gate and continued on its way. The road became more and more bumpy, and it was common for the carriage to shake.
Gu Wanying now misses modern airplanes and high-speed trains very much. It only takes minutes to reach the destination. Why would she need to walk for two hours like this?
She was almost fainting in the carriage.
In fact, Gu Wanying was being unfair to the carriage team. The speed was definitely not slow.
Moreover, the emperor's carriage must be magnificent, with everything he needs. It can accommodate two people lying upright, and two more people can sit in the back to play Go.
It's not cramped anymore.
Gu Wanying was so dizzy that she could only lie on the emperor's legs and force herself to sleep with her eyes closed. But as soon as she opened her mouth, something was stuffed into her mouth.
She opened her eyes immediately and saw the emperor's concerned expression.
A sour taste filled her mouth, suppressing all the bitterness. She chewed it a few times and found that she didn't want to spit it out anymore.
"I saw that you were in pain and felt so sorry for you, so I gave you a sour plum. Are you feeling better now?" He looked at Gu Wanying and gently stroked her cascading black hair.
Gu Wanying nodded with a smile and played with the emperor's palm.
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace. I'm no longer dizzy. I guess the sour plums must have been soaked in Your Majesty's dragon energy to be so effective!"
Gu Wanying smiled cunningly, gently bit the emperor's finger, and quickly let go. Her bright eyes were observing his reaction, and she couldn't stop laughing.
The emperor smiled bitterly as if his fingertips were suddenly bitten by a cat, feeling numb and tingling.
"You, you really have the mentality of a child." His eyes fell on Gu Wanying's belly, and he was thinking about when she would give birth. Gu Wanying was pregnant for several months, and he was vegetarian for several months. It was really hard for her.
Gu Wanying relied on the fact that she was pregnant and didn't care about all these trivial matters, which made the emperor smile bitterly.
The sounds of their laughter could be heard from the carriage from time to time, and Xiao Cheng quietly moved away.
Not everyone hopes for the best for the Emperor and Gu Wanying, just like the carriage that the virtuous concubine is sitting in behind them.
Yesterday morning, the Queen came to see him. She still had that condescending look on her face, and her words were still disgusting.
"I know you're going to the Royal Villa with me, so don't miss this great opportunity. Aside from the pregnant Concubine Wan, you're the only one still young enough to compete. If you were my age, you wouldn't be able to compete anymore."
The queen spoke lightly, but every word touched the heart of Concubine Xian.
Doesn't she want to fight?
It is obvious that she has not been able to find a suitable opportunity. The emperor now favors Concubine Wan the most. Does she still want to try to please him and refuse him a favor?
Her presence is even weaker than that of Concubine Shu, and the number of times she has been favored can be counted on two hands. How can she get pregnant?
Yu Guangzhong saw that Concubine Xian was about to tear the handkerchief into pieces, and the Queen smiled coldly.
"It's just that you are different from me. I am the queen and will have the title of queen when I am old. But you, when you are old, have no children and your family is mediocre. Can you have a good end in this deep palace?"
With a "buzz" sound, the most tense string in Concubine Xian's heart finally broke. When she came to her senses, the Queen had already walked away with Nanny Gui, and next to her was a medicine bag so old that the color and material could not be seen.
Even if this medicine bag was thrown on the street, beggars would despise it. The virtuous concubine also despises it now.
"How your sisters are doing depends on how you are doing."
The queen's cold voice blew into the ears of Concubine Xian along with the sound of the wind.
She knew that she had no way out this time.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the neighing of horses. The virtuous concubine lifted the curtain and saw that the convoy had stopped halfway. The palace maid came to report that there were many thick tree trunks lying across the road in front, and they were scattered everywhere at a distance as wide as the pipeline.
"There was thunder and rain last night, and now all the big trees are broken!" said the palace maid worriedly.
Last night, just as the palace maid had said, several tree trunks that had been broken by lightning rushed down from the nearby mountain road and were now blocking the middle of the road.
"It seems that it will take some time to clean up." Gu Wanying asked as she looked at the busy figures over there. Her heart, which had just calmed down a little, became irritated again.
In fact, before the emperor's carriage arrived, there were already soldiers here clearing the roadblocks, but the tree trunks were too big and they couldn't lift them at once.
The emperor frowned and waved his hand to Xiao Cheng, "Go and supervise the progress. If you can't finish cleaning it within a quarter of an hour, take a detour."
The emperor was also upset when faced with such an emergency.
Xiao Cheng took the order and went up to inquire with a few people. Fortunately, the cleanup would be completed soon, so he brought his men to join the cleanup team.
When he came back to report, his body and face were covered in mud, but he didn't care.
The convoy continued to move forward and finally arrived at the royal villa half an hour later.
It was already noon, and the chef waiting in the villa had already prepared lunch. Gu Wanying could eat the steaming hot meal as soon as she got off the carriage.
The food in the villa is not better than that in the palace, but it has its own unique flavor. Most of the dishes are wild animals, not delicacies from mountains and seas, which can stimulate the appetite in this hot summer.
Gu Wanying ate with gusto. The freshly cooked chicken stewed with mushrooms was a rare delicacy. The fish that was just caught in the morning was steamed and then drizzled with hot oil. Gu Wanying almost squinted her eyes while eating.
Originally, she had a good appetite in the palace and ate just for the sake of eating. But here, her appetite was greatly increased, and she swallowed every delicious mouthful, feeling extremely happy.
She hadn't enjoyed eating so much in a long time!
"Look at Concubine Wan, she looks like she is eating the most delicious food in the world. After all, she is pregnant, so her appetite is different from mine. I think she can't eat much just after getting off the carriage." Concubine Xian wiped the corner of her mouth and teased Gu Wanying. The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became subtle.
