Concubine Wan is now the emperor's favorite, and no one can say a bad word about her.
The last concubine who said something bad about Concubine Wan was slapped in public by the emperor. This was no different from being sent to the cold palace or not.
Now this virtuous concubine said this, is she tired of being a virtuous concubine?
The emperor glanced at her coldly and did not respond. He was only concerned about whether Gu Wanying had eaten enough.
"Sister Xianfei, you're joking. I was indeed not feeling well just now, but I felt better immediately with the emperor's sour plums. I think Sister Xianfei can also have some." Gu Wanying said this without caring whether Xianfei was acting or not, and sent a maid to the kitchen to get a large bowl of vinegar.
As soon as the vinegar was brought to Concubine Xian's small square table, the strong and pungent sour smell rushed straight to her crown.
Several concubines around also frowned in disgust. The smell of vinegar was so strong that it could be smelled for three miles!
"But I have eaten all the sour plums, and I think the same goes for the vinegar. I am worried about my sister's health and I can't eat." Gu Wanying said that she couldn't eat, but her mouth kept moving. She even made Concubine Xian drink vinegar on the spot. She was so mean.
"This virtuous concubine has a sour air about her." The childbearing system couldn't help but make a joke.
"That's right. I'll let her feel the sour taste now." Gu Wanying was proud in her heart, but her face was full of concern.
"Yingying is right. If Concubine Xian has no appetite, just drink this vinegar. Then you will have time to eat these dishes." The emperor looked at Concubine Xian indifferently, the majesty in his eyes was irresistible.
Concubine Xian originally wanted to tease Concubine Wan, but Concubine Wan was so disrespectful and made her jealous in public, making her look embarrassed!
She looked at the bowl on the table that was almost bigger than her face and swallowed silently.
He's really shooting himself in the foot!
"I don't feel uncomfortable anymore now. Thank you for your kindness, Sister Wanfei." Concubine Xian felt her face was dull, and the eyes looking at her from all directions seemed to shoot through her.
The emperor did look at her, but it was only to support Concubine Wan and save her face. As for concern, there was not the slightest bit of it.
"That's good. I have to finish all the delicious food. No food should be wasted." Gu Wanying was too lazy to look at the hypocritical Concubine Xian and ate mouthful by mouthful.
The emperor felt warm in his heart when he saw that his favorite concubine, who was dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, said that food should not be wasted.
He is the king of a country and knows that food is the most important thing for the people. He has the country and the people in his heart, but he doesn't know that the person next to him also understands this truth.
How could he not be moved by this?
After all, she is the woman he loves. She knows what he thinks and feels. Doesn’t this reflect her love for him in every way?
This little girl also has a broad mind!
Gu Wanying had no idea that a casual remark she made would make the emperor so deeply moved. She was just used to living a hard life in modern times and couldn't bear to waste the hard-earned food.
It was the second half of her pregnancy, and she felt like her stomach was a bottomless pit that could never be filled. Yue Tao, who was standing by, was a little scared when she saw her eating like this, fearing that she would overeat.
The accompanying Imperial Physician Jiang said that this was normal and that women would eat more during this month, but if they ate too much, he would have to intervene.
After hearing this, Yue Tao felt relieved.
After dinner, Gu Wanying took Yuetao and Feicui for a walk in the huge garden at the back. From time to time, a bulge appeared on her round belly, and Gu Wanying could feel that it was sometimes a small foot and sometimes a small hand.
The little guy was having a lot of fun playing in her belly. This was mentioned in the parenting manual exchanged in the childbirth system mall. When the fetus was awake, it would use its little hands and feet to explore the surroundings, and sometimes it would pull her umbilical cord to play with it.
Gu Wanying found it extremely interesting and sometimes even asked the emperor to come over to listen to the movements of her stomach.
The emperor was naturally happy to listen to what was happening in her belly, and sometimes even told the baby in her belly "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "The Policy of Governing a Country".
Can this child understand?
Governing a country starts with prenatal education?
Gu Wanying did not disturb the emperor's good mood, but just laughed along.
The ministers all arrived in the afternoon to avoid the summer heat, but they also could not neglect the affairs of state.
"The emperor is truly a diligent emperor." Gu Wanying murmured as she watched the ministers hurrying past outside.
At this moment, she was lying on the soft couch in the pavilion to enjoy the cool air. It must be said that the temperature in this villa was a little lower than that in the palace. Even the wind blowing in her face was a little chilly.
Not long after she lay down, she fell into a deep sleep.
Yuetao and Feicui quickly pulled down all the curtains around them to block Gu Wanying from inside.
Gu Qingqing never thought that there would be a day when she would be accompanied by someone else. She benefited from Sun Chongming's help.
I have heard for a long time that the decoration here is even better than that of the imperial palace. The pavilion by the lake, the nine-bend wooden bridge, and the lotus pond are all top-notch scenery that can never be seen from the outside.
"Madam Sun, please come this way. Your residence is over there." The palace maid led the way and walked in front, while Gu Qingqing followed behind.
"Who's over there?" Gu Qingqing originally wanted to go to the pavilion to write poetry or paint later, because Brother Chongming liked to look at her paintings.
It's just that there seems to be someone there now.
"That's Concubine Wan, the emperor's most beloved concubine. Madam Sun, you'd better leave quickly." The palace maid leading the way didn't dare to say much. She just urged Gu Qingqing to leave quickly, as she also had to go back to report.
"Concubine Wan? Do you know the relationship between Concubine Wan and me?" Gu Qingqing raised her chin, stopped and did not move forward.
As Concubine Wan's biological sister, she just wants to use that pavilion!
The palace maid leading the way glanced over there and saw the gauze curtains on the pavilion fluttering in the wind, layer upon layer, and the figures inside could be vaguely seen.
She had indeed heard that Concubine Wan had a younger sister, but she didn't know what their relationship was like.
Seeing Gu Qingqing's smug look at this time, she was undecided for a moment.
"Is Madam Sun the younger sister of Concubine Wan?" the leading palace maid asked uncertainly.
"You already know the answer, but why are you asking? Now that I've met my sister, I naturally have to go and greet her. You just wait here." Gu Qingqing raised her chin and walked towards the pavilion with great pride.
The maid leading the way followed her hesitantly.
No one had ever told her that Madam Sun was so difficult to deal with! If this thing went wrong, her life would be in danger!
"Oh, isn't this my sister? I'm here to pay my respects to you." Gu Qingqing saluted Gu Wanying outside the pavilion in a pretentious tone.
"It's Madam Sun. Our queen is taking a nap now and it's inconvenient for her to see outsiders. Please come back later." Yue Tao didn't care who came. As long as the queen was still taking a nap, she would not see them.
