Chapter 297: Not Reminiscing About the Past with My Ex-fiancée

The family tradition of the Chengyang Marquis's Mansion is rather dissolute and romantic, especially among the older generation, led by Old Lady Pei. Among his descendants, Pei Jian has a tendency to surpass his father.

However, Pei Che was definitely not among them.

Maybe it was because he was still young, or maybe it was because the words of a young child went to his heart.

"Yo~" Princess Qingyu spoke in a strange tone, which made people imagine "dirty and dirty?"

"If you are not dirty and filthy, how can you know what this princess is thinking?"

"What does this mean? We are so in tune with each other. It's a perfect match made in heaven."

"But are you sure that it is me who is dirty and filthy?"

"Look at the way Pei Che looks at Lu Mingchao. His eyes are sparkling, like twinkling stars. That look is exactly the same as the puppy who tried his best to please this princess in bed."

"This princess feels soft-hearted after seeing this."

"Lu Mingchao is indeed the pearl of Shangjing. She has attracted you to various places and has made Pei Che think about her day and night."

"Princess!" Gu Huai was very dissatisfied. "Don't use these words to humiliate Ah Chao."

Gu Huai continued to look at Pei Che, frowning involuntarily, trying hard to suppress the inexplicable feeling.

Princess Qingyu's words still left a shadow in his heart.

"Prince consort, would you like to go over and say hello?"

Although Princess Qingyu asked a question, her tone was unquestionable.

"No." Gu Huai refused coldly.

He was unwilling to appear in front of Ah Chao with his wife who was not officially his wife.

Princess Qingyu smiled and said, "That's not up to you."

"Everyone knows that I am not particular about small matters. If you don't want me to hug you in public, you'd better follow my temperament."

"This princess is happy. I may be able to help you get Lu Mingchao back with just a flick of my finger."

Gu Huai sneered, "What an insult to the word 'not caring about small matters'."

Lu Minghui is stupid and vicious.

Princess Qingyu is both arrogant and stupid.

"You forgot that Ah Chao is protected by the Yongming Grand Princess."

The charming smile on Princess Qingyu's face froze, and she cursed, "That old immortal."

"If this princess can't do anything to her, can she still do nothing to Zhong Yujin?"

Gu Huai lowered his eyebrows slightly and walked away from Princess Qingyu.

Stupidity is a disease and it is contagious.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the current emperor was eliminating the official families who were loyal to Emperor Wencheng and Emperor Jingxiang, while at the same time, contradictory and kindly treating Emperor Wencheng's old followers who posed no threat.

Empress Dowager Xie is.

The same is true for Princess Yongming.

As long as Princess Yongming does not commit treason, she will always enjoy a superior status.

Princess Qingyu's provocation of Princess Yongming was like throwing an egg against a rock.

"Gu Huai!" Princess Qingyu called out loudly and openly.

"Gu Huai, don't you want to reminisce about the past with your ex-fiancée?"

"If you don't go, I will go by myself."

The crowd was silent for a moment, and then pretended to be nonchalant and talked and laughed cheerfully, relying on each other's eye contact.

Gu Huai: How shameful!

Gu Huai took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Princess Qingyu, please."

Princess Qingyu walked straight towards Lu Mingchao without any hesitation.

Gu Huai was extremely angry. He gritted his teeth and followed Princess Qingyu reluctantly.

"Lu Mingchao." Princess Qingyu glanced at Lu Mingchao's slightly bulging belly, and the disdain and contempt contained in her voice almost overflowed.

Princess Qingyu did look down on Lu Mingchao.

He grew up in the capital and was raised in a marquis's mansion, but was forced by a fool like Lu Minghui to commit suicide by hitting his head against the wall, give up his engagement, and leave the capital in disgrace.

I heard that she even degraded herself and married a crude and despicable hunter.

If Gu Huai had not been unable to forget their old friendship and brought her back to the capital, she would probably have had to live a miserable life in the remote countryside for the rest of her life.

"I've met Princess Qingyu." Lu Mingchao bowed calmly.

Princess Qingyu raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing an insolent arrogance. "Lu Mingchao, I will take you into the palace as Gu Huai's concubine, how about that?"

"Did Princess Qingyu openly rape a woman?" Lu Mingchao asked bluntly.

"As I know, Princess Qingyu has been taught by famous teachers since she was young, and has learned a lot about laws and rules."

"Breaking the law knowingly, is this a blatant disregard for the majesty of Daqian's laws, or is it announcing to the world that Princess Qingyu is above the law and is not subject to the law's control?"

"Sweet talk and flattery!" Princess Qingyu was furious.

How can a mere villain have the right to be calm and composed in front of her!

Lu Mingchao's expression remained unchanged. "Princess Qingyu is a descendant of a royal family. I think she will set an example."

"Lead by example?"

"What do you mean by leading by example?"

Lord Lerong, who came with Princess Pingning, asked in surprise.

"Princess Qingyu, I advise you to control your temper and not cause trouble."

"Today, the Queen Mother will come to the banquet."

"The Queen Mother's Phoenix Chariot is already on the way."

Lu Mingchao's brows twitched slightly, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

Princess Qingyu's expression changed slightly, but she was unwilling to give in and asked in a timid tone, "Could it be that the Queen Mother would really favor a commoner and blame this princess?"

"The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism." Gu Huai said quietly, "All living beings are equal."

Princess Qingyu was secretly filled with hatred, and for a moment she didn't know who she wanted to glare at the most.

"You are lucky." Princess Qingyu flicked her sleeves.

It was clear that Empress Dowager Xie was not in a legitimate position, but everyone in the harem, from the empress to the concubines, princes and princesses, had to be respectful and filial, and no one dared to act rashly in front of Empress Dowager Xie.

Concubine Qin, who was constantly favored, once relied on her family background to provoke Empress Dowager Xie. Empress Dowager Xie turned her Buddhist beads and said nothing. She only ordered the old nanny to throw a crudely made wooden sword outside the Changning Palace.

In less than a quarter of an hour, my father personally issued an imperial decree to reprimand Concubine Qin and took back her power to assist in managing the six palaces.

Concubine Qin knelt outside the Changning Palace for three whole days.

Even so, the imperial concubine, who is now second only to the emperor, has no power to manage the harem.

She is also

At a family dinner, Empress Dowager Xie decided her marriage in a casual manner with just a few words.

It is absurd that a princess and a minister share the same husband.

But my father only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

So, she learned her lesson.

The Queen Mother arrived at the Qin Taishi Mansion in her carriage. From afar, a high-pitched, feminine, yet sharp voice rang out: "The Queen Mother has arrived..."

Although Grand Tutor Qin and his wife, the younger generations in the mansion, and the guests and their families all had different emotions and considerations in their hearts, they all came out in unison and knelt on the ground.

They shouted in unison, "Welcome the Queen Mother! May the Queen Mother live a thousand years and a thousand years."

Empress Dowager Xie took the old nanny's hand and walked slowly past.

Those kneeling on the ground could see the palace robes passing by.

Empress Dowager Xie did not tell anyone to stand up, so no one dared to stand up.

Master Qin was unhappy because he had to crawl at the feet of Empress Dowager Xie.

"Stand up." Empress Dowager Xie said in a calm tone, but with a hint of majesty.

Prince Duan Xiao Fei and the second prince Xiao Fu followed on the left and right, just one step away from Empress Dowager Xie.

As soon as Empress Dowager Xie arrived, she naturally sat in the main seat.

Relying on his enormous power and the emperor's favor, Grand Tutor Qin stroked his beard and asked maliciously, "Why did the Empress Dowager feel so elegant that she left Changning Palace and came to Qin's mansion for a banquet?"

Empress Dowager Xie stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist without even glancing at Grand Tutor Qin.

Quiet Madness
