After the full moon banquet, Gu Wanying washed up early, put on her newly made pajamas, and rolled into bed.
The consequence of doing this is that you won’t be able to get out of bed the next day.
The emperor, who had been a vegetarian for seven months, finally went to the morning court feeling satisfied and refreshed.
Gu Wanying took the fertility pill without hesitation. This time she wanted to have twins so that she could complete her KPI earlier and enjoy a better life.
Little Jingyan, who was lying beside her, looked around curiously with his eyes open, occasionally blowing bubbles from his little mouth. He looked so adorable.
Her heart was suddenly filled with maternal love, and she held him in her arms tenderly and lovingly.
Yuetao brought water for Gu Wanying to wash, and Feicui picked out two sets of clothes from the closet for Gu Wanying to choose from.
The two maids teased Xiao Jingyan from time to time, and Chonghua Palace was very lively.
The autumn weather is clear and cloudless. Today is a good day for an autumn outing. Unexpectedly, the Queen came before Gu Wanying even left the house.
Her complicated and gorgeous palace skirt was flowing, her black hair was combed into a complicated bun, and she had several jewel hairpins in her hair that matched the palace skirt, making her look elegant and luxurious.
Gu Wanying held little Jingyan and saluted the queen. Little Jingyan, who was still in swaddling clothes, smiled at the queen, opening his little mouth to reveal his red gums.
"The little prince is so adorable, come and let your mother hold him." The queen's heart softened when she saw little Jingyan.
Yue Tao stared at the Queen's hand, but only for a moment before lowering her head. She began to feel nervous.
The queen stretched out her hand, and the fingers were covered with long armor, each of which was inlaid with gems, making it look luxurious and beautiful.
"The Empress's armor is beautiful and luxurious, and it really matches her beauty. But the little prince is naughty by nature, and it would be his fault if he accidentally damages this priceless armor." Gu Wanying looked at the ten-inch-long armor and complained wildly in her heart.
The queen's face froze, as if she had just realized that she was wearing armor. She restrained the smile on her lips and then coughed lightly.
"It's my fault. The little prince has delicate skin, and I loved him so much that I forgot to take off my armor." The Queen was admiring her own armor. "The little prince is so adorable, and I'm really happy."
Gu Wanying couldn't help but tighten her arms around Xiao Jingyan. What did the Queen mean by this?
She felt an invisible pressure and her heart was heavy.
"I had a headache yesterday and there were too many people in Chonghua Palace, so I didn't come. This jade ruyi is a gift for the little prince." After the queen finished speaking, Nanny Gui placed a brocade box on the table, then bowed and retreated behind the queen.
After seeing Xiao Jingyan, the queen left, leaving behind a jade ruyi as a full-moon gift for him.
When Yue Tao opened it, her eyes lit up. This jade ruyi was of excellent quality, emerald green and transparent, and soft to the touch. It was truly a top-notch piece of jade.
This gift was very valuable. Gu Wanying took a look at it and asked Yuetao to put it away. After being interrupted by the Queen, she no longer wanted to take Xiao Jingyan out to play, so she held the child and played under the pergola.
The one-month-old baby was not very energetic and fell asleep in Yue Tao's arms after playing for a while.
Gu Wanying leaned on the couch, closed her eyes and dozed off. The Queen must have come here for a purpose. As for what the purpose was, it was still unknown, but it was definitely not a good thing.
The queen turned and walked out of Chonghua Palace, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
She didn't expect that Gu Wanying was so well-maintained. Her skin was so smooth and delicate that it was even more beautiful than that of an unmarried girl.
She felt that the concubines' descriptions of Gu Wanying were exaggerated, and now when she saw her, she felt sour in her heart.
No wonder the emperor stayed in Chonghua Palace again last night!
This little devil will always be a nuisance if he continues to stay!
A dark light flashed in the queen's eyes, and the cold armor lightly brushed across the corner of her eyes.
A few days ago, she noticed a wrinkle at the corner of her eye. She knew that she was no longer young, but when she saw how stunning Gu Wanying was after giving birth to a child, she admitted that she felt an immense jealousy in her heart.
"Your Majesty, now that the little prince has been born, the emperor has a successor. I think your Majesty is of noble status, and it would be great if you could raise the little prince under your knees." Nanny Gui whispered beside her.
Doesn’t she know such an obvious truth?
It just requires some further planning.
After Gu Chen came back from the palace yesterday, she chatted with Prime Minister Gu until late at night. She accused Gu Wanying of being cold-blooded and indifferent to Gu Qingqing.
"A hundred years after we pass away, Qingqing and Yingying will still be able to rely on each other. Wouldn't that be great? Why is Yingying still so reluctant?" Gu Chen's eyes were red from crying. She was worried about her two daughters.
"Madam, you've been doting on Qingqing too much, which has shaped her current personality." Gu Xiang had to point out this fact. "There's no need to mention this matter again, or you might end up in disaster!"
Gu Chen's face turned pale and she immediately shut up.
While Gu Qingqing was bedridden, Sun Chongming often visited her, bringing her some novel gadgets or storybooks, and today some snacks.
Gu Qingqing was whipped thirty times and felt resentful towards Gu Wanying, thinking that it was all Gu Wanying's fault that she became like this.
As for the fact that Gu Wanying asked the emperor to give a lighter punishment for the sake of Prime Minister Gu, she did not mention it at all.
"Qingqing, are you feeling better? Why don't you go back to the mansion in a few days?" Sun Chongming saw her face was slightly red and asked tentatively, "There is no mistress in the mansion, and it all depends on my mother. It's really not decent."
Gu Qingqing felt a little upset after hearing this. She had only been recuperating for a few days, but her mother-in-law couldn't help but ask Sun Chongming to urge her to go back. Since she came to see her that day, her mother-in-law never came again because of the busy affairs in the mansion.
"The injury on my back hasn't healed yet. Even if I go back to the Sun Mansion, I will still be bedridden to recuperate. What's the difference between that and being here?" Gu Qingqing was angry, so naturally, what she said was not so pleasant.
But Sun Chongming ignored it and continued to smile.
"Okay, then you rest for a few more days, I'll stay with you." Sun Chongming sat down beside the bed and fed her pastries.
This made Gu Qingqing puzzled. She had such a bad attitude just now, but Brother Chongming was still willing to stay with her. She really shouldn't have done that.
In the evening, Gu Chen came to have dinner with her. The atmosphere between mother and daughter was quite harmonious until Gu Chen mentioned Gu Wanying.
"You two are sisters after all. Go and apologize to your sister, and you can still be good sisters in the future." Gu Chen said earnestly.
Gu Qingqing threw down her chopsticks upon hearing this, "Mom! I won't apologize to her! I'm going back to the Sun family right now! So that you don't have to be embarrassed in front of her!"
