Gu Qingqing was so angry at Yue Tao's attitude that she fell backwards and couldn't help but curse.
"You're just a little palace maid, and you dare to yell at me?" Gu Qingqing pointed at Yue Tao's nose and started scolding, "Be careful or I'll make you pay for it!"
Gu Wanying had not been sleeping soundly to begin with, and when she heard someone making noise in her ear, she subconsciously opened her eyes.
Yuetao and Feicui were guarding outside the pavilion. Logically, no one should be so blind as to dare to come over and make a scene.
However, if this person is Gu Qingqing, then it makes sense.
"Who is making such a noise outside and disturbing my sweet dream?" Gu Wanying, who had just woken up, spoke lazily.
Feicui, who was outside, came in quickly to help her put on her shoes and get on the bed. "To answer your Majesty, it was Madam Sun. Yuetao wouldn't let her in and she was still scolding Yuetao."
Feicui and Yuetao are now as close as sisters. They feel very upset when they see their sisters being scolded by an outsider.
Gu Wanying waved her hand and Feicui went to lift the curtain.
"It's my sister. What's the matter?" Gu Wanying asked casually.
"Sister, your maid is so rude! I just wanted to come over and say hello to you, but she stopped me. Sister, you are not in good health now, so why not let me teach this ignorant palace maid a lesson!" Gu Qingqing was so happy with the scolding that a ferocious look appeared on her face.
When Yue Tao heard her words, her face turned pale.
Her queen and Madam Sun are sisters. If the queen really agrees to her words, she will probably get more than just a beating!
Seeing that Gu Qingqing's snow-white palm was about to fall towards her cheek, Yue Tao subconsciously took a step back and leaned her back against the pillar.
Gu Wanying reached out and easily grabbed her wrist, "Yue Tao belongs to me, it's not your turn to teach her a lesson!"
Yue Tao felt warm in her heart when she heard this, and a trace of guilt rose in her heart. She had just suspected that the queen would allow others to bully her!
Even if it's just for a moment!
Gu Wanying rarely acts so strong in front of Gu Qingqing. She is usually gentle and considerate, and always tolerant. But a long time ago, she didn't want to tolerate it anymore!
Gu Qingqing's face flushed red. Gu Wanying was so incredibly strong that she couldn't move at all!
"Qingqing, stop!" Sun Chongming, who rushed over, stopped three steps away, his tone quite anxious.
His eyelids had been twitching just now. After entering this villa, he and Gu Qingqing were separated.
I didn't expect that something would happen just two sticks of time after we separated.
Fortunately, he arrived in time.
Gu Wanying caught a glimpse of his approaching figure, snorted coldly, and shook off Gu Qingqing's hand.
"Brother Chongming! Why are you here?" Gu Qingqing was happy for a moment, but when she thought about being caught doing something bad just now, her face became embarrassed again.
"I came to see if you arrived safely." Sun Chongming said calmly, suppressing his pounding heart.
"If you don't show respect to me when you see me, that's fine. Considering that we are sisters, I can let it go this time." Gu Wanying stood on the steps, looking down at Gu Qingqing below. "If you do it again, don't blame me for turning my back on you! Lord Sun, please take good care of your family and don't let her trespass into the place where a noble person lives without realizing it!"
Sun Chongming quickly pulled her aside and bowed, "Your Highness Wan, please forgive me. This is my first time here today, and I'm a little uncomfortable. If I've offended you in any way, I'll apologize on your behalf."
Gu Wanying walked straight into the pavilion, not intending to pay any more attention to the two people. Feicui coldly asked the couple to leave.
The scene just now happened to be seen by Concubine Xian who was not far away. She looked at Gu Qingqing who was walking away with a deep gaze, and suddenly came up with an idea.
That night, the occasional chirping of cicadas could be heard on this summer night, adding to the dryness and heat. The evening breeze was also hot, making Gu Wanying extremely irritable.
"Your Majesty, please be patient. Everything will be fine once we get on the boat. I heard that the night view of Mingyue Lake is very beautiful." Yue Tao comforted her.
After dinner, the emperor still had to deal with government affairs with his ministers, so he let her go out and play by herself, and he felt at ease with Xiao Cheng accompanying her.
Gu Wanying thought that since she was already here, she might as well go boating on the lake, which would definitely be a unique experience.
But before getting on the boat, I met Gu Qingqing again on the shore.
What's going on? Seeing each other twice a day? They didn't meet so often even before they got married.
Gu Wanying raised her eyebrows. What did he want to do this time?
This time, Gu Qingqing politely bowed to Gu Wanying and said, "I was impolite during the day. I want to make up for it this time. I hope you won't be angry."
Gu Qingqing lowered her brows, and there was nothing wrong with her manners.
"Get up, so you're also from Dongli." Gu Wanying raised her chin slightly. She was a little confused about what Gu Qingqing wanted to do. "Okay, I have something important to do. Please do as you please."
Gu Wanying was about to walk away when Gu Qingqing tripped and fell forward for some reason!
Gu Wanying is already seven months pregnant. If she were to be pounced on like this, she would definitely be in danger!
Yue Tao stood in front of Gu Wanying without thinking, and Xiao Cheng's eyes were stern. He grabbed Gu Qingqing by the back of the collar and threw her to the side.
Poor Gu Qingqing didn't even know what was going on when she felt dizzy and fell at Gu Wanying's feet.
"It hurts so much!" Gu Qingqing wailed, struggling to get up with red eyes, and something fell off her body.
"Sorry." Xiao Cheng bowed and stood behind Gu Wanying.
His responsibility was to protect Gu Wanying from being harmed by anyone. In fact, he could have kicked the woman in front of him away, but then he thought that this woman and Concubine Wan were sisters, and a kick like that might cause trouble, so he temporarily changed his mind and grabbed her collar from behind.
Gu Wanying took Yue Tao, Xiao Cheng and a team of Golden Wing Guards onto the dragon boat.
Mingyue Lake covers an area of hundreds of acres, which is enough for this magnificent dragon boat to travel back and forth freely.
There was no light at night, but the palace maids with lanterns had already lit up the road. The originally dim and quiet cobblestone road gradually lit up on both sides, which was quite a pleasure to watch.
Gu Wanying's restless heart gradually calmed down. She leaned on the couch, feeling relaxed and happy in the evening breeze.
Feicui played the piano beside her, and the melodious sound echoed on the lake, attracting several birds to stop.
Gu Wanying also became interested and hummed a song called "Song of Water Melody". The melody was melodious and the artistic conception was magnificent, and everyone present was fascinated by it.
Feicui only listened to it twice before she was able to play the entire piece of music.
The melodious sound of the piano and the light and pleasant singing resounded across the entire lake.
In the dark rockery, the candlelight flickered, distorting Gu Qingqing's figure.
She stared at the dragon boat that was moving away, her eyes filled with resentment as if filled with poison.
"Sing, let's see how long you can sing! Good sister, I will also give you a big gift!" Gu Qingqing's mouth curled up into a cold smile.
