Two hours ago, the sun had not yet set.
Sun Chongming took Gu Qingqing's hand and walked towards his residence. He glanced at Gu Qingqing from time to time, fearing that she would be unhappy again because of what had just happened.
Although they received the notice to come to the royal villa at the last minute, the couple were still overjoyed, as this meant that the emperor valued the Sun family.
Sun Chongming analyzed the reasoning behind this in detail to Gu Qingqing. His voice was gentle and his tone was slow, and Gu Qingqing understood it immediately.
"Concubine Wan is the emperor's most beloved woman. If we go against her, it will be very disadvantageous to us. There are nobles everywhere in this villa, so you have to be careful." Sun Chongming was very nervous as he spoke.
Whenever someone mentioned Gu Wanying, Gu Qingqing would lose his temper, and he would have to spend a lot of effort to coax them.
"Why did Brother Chongming mention her? How could I be against her? I just wanted to go over and say hello to her." Gu Qingqing's eyes turned red after she had only said a few words, and her words were nasal.
When Sun Chongming saw her red eyes, he became a little bewildered. He was just trying to reason with her, so why was she crying again?
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it. Don't cry anymore. My heart hurts when you cry." Sun Chongming gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and coaxed her like a child.
Gu Qingqing didn't really want to cry, she just wanted to lose her temper and attract Sun Chongming's attention.
Her goal was achieved, so she stopped crying.
"I won't stop crying unless Brother Chongming kisses me." Gu Qingqing lowered her head and spoke as softly as a mosquito, but Sun Chongming still heard it.
His face flushed, he looked down at Gu Qingqing with her eyes closed, then lowered his head and kissed her gently.
These two people are willing to fight and be beaten, so they can get by.
When the couple parted at the rockery, Gu Qingqing had already been comforted.
"Have we arrived yet?" Gu Qingqing asked.
"We're here. It's right behind here. I'll take you to your residence." The ears of the palace maid leading the way were red, obviously having seen what the two men had just done.
As soon as I walked to the corridor, I saw a woman dressed in gorgeous and wealthy clothes standing there, as if she was waiting for me?
"Please leave. I feel very friendly when I see Madam Sun. I want to keep her to talk to me." The virtuous concubine waved away the palace maid who was leading the way and said to Gu Qingqing with a smile.
Gu Qingqing didn't know her, because when Concubine Xian came over, her face was full of confusion, but since she was an empress, she couldn't lose her manners.
An ice basin and a cool fan had already been placed in the small garden. When Gu Qingqing sat down, she felt cool and the restlessness in her heart gradually disappeared.
While Gu Qingqing was looking at Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian was also looking at her.
This Madam Sun was indeed as hot-tempered and difficult to get along with as the legend said. If she hadn't just witnessed that scene with her own eyes, she would probably be deceived by her seemingly well-behaved appearance.
Xiao Cui went to the room to put her things away, leaving Gu Qingqing alone to talk with Concubine Xian.
"I wonder what instructions the Empress has?" Sun Chongming had just reminded her not to be rude to the nobles, so she restrained her urge to be lazy and not take it seriously.
"Madam Sun and Concubine Wan are really like sisters, but their relationship is different." Concubine Xian still smiled faintly and pushed the pastries in front of her towards Gu Qingqing.
When Gu Qingqing heard someone say that she and Gu Wanying had a good relationship, she felt like exploding with anger.
But the person opposite her was a queen of noble status, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous even if she had ten times the courage.
A pair of hands tightly grasped the handkerchief, wishing to tear it into pieces!
"Your Majesty, you're joking. The relationship between me and Concubine Wan is indeed extraordinary." Gu Qingqing said with a stiff smile.
Concubine Shu chuckled, "Let's be frank, Madam Sun has such great endurance that she will succeed in everything she does."
What does this mean?
Gu Qingqing was puzzled, but fortunately she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Don't be afraid of Madam Sun laughing at you. I have served the Emperor for many years, but I haven't borne him a son or daughter. This is truly a sin. Concubine Wan is deeply worried about me, so I will never have another chance."
The virtuous concubine's brow was full of sorrow, revealing the distress in her heart.
Gu Qingqing's heart moved. She seemed to have guessed the meaning of Concubine Xian's keeping her, but she was not sure.
Because if it is really as she thinks, then God is helping her!
She suppressed her pounding heart and took a big sip of tea.
"Since Concubine Wan is pregnant, she should rest well. I will take care of the matters of serving the Emperor. Since Concubine Wan can get pregnant, then I can definitely get pregnant too. If I can give birth to children for the Emperor, it will be a great blessing for me, don't you think, Sister Qingqing?"
In just a few words, Madam Sun became Qingqing's sister, and the distance between the two was suddenly shortened.
"I heard that Concubine Wan is going boating on the lake tonight. When you see her, please try to persuade her. It's not worth it to tire yourself out." As she said this, Concubine Xian pushed an old small bag in front of Gu Qingqing.
Gu Qingqing's gaze fell on the small bag, and a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes.
"You just need to give us the things in here..." Concubine Xian opened her red lips slightly, looking at Gu Qingqing's uncontrollable upward corners of her mouth, with a smile in her eyes.
Gu Qingqing clutched her handkerchief and watched the dragon boat sailing away. The candlelight was reflected in her eyes, and the excitement in her eyes was beyond words.
Will her good sister like the gift she gave?
Gu Wanying had no idea what Gu Qingqing had done. She was busy dodging insects that appeared from nowhere.
Just now, she was singing her favorite "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", but when she turned around, she saw a centipede as thick as two fingers lying on the back of the chair where Yue Tao was sitting!
The dense and constantly shaking feet made Gu Wanying scream uncontrollably, scaring everyone present.
God knows how scared she is of this thing! It looks red and poisonous, just like the legendary millipede, it's really chilling.
Yue Tao was startled by Gu Wanying's reaction and subconsciously turned her head to look. It was too late for Gu Wanying to stop her.
As expected, Yue Tao was so scared that she jumped up from the chair and rushed into Xiao Cheng's arms!
The defenseless Xiao Cheng was knocked off balance by her and subconsciously drew the sword from his waist. When he looked down, he found that it was Yue Tao. He didn't know where to put his hand holding the sword.
"Woo woo woo! How scary! Get rid of it!" Yue Tao was so scared that she was shaking like a sieve.
Several girls present were on the verge of collapse. None of them could pretend to be calm when seeing the densely packed insects crawling everywhere!
Just like Gu Wanying now.
"Xiao Cheng, what are you still standing there for! Take that thing away!" Gu Wanying had already collapsed. She couldn't stand seeing this thing. She felt her hair stand on end and she was about to faint.
