When he arrived in front of Empress Gu and the Crown Prince, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian had already cleaned up all their emotions. From the surface, they could not see any problem.

Queen Gu didn't know what she said to the prince in private, and she was in a good mood. She smiled and asked everyone to sit down together. She said to Gu Xinian affectionately: "This time it's thanks to Ye's company, otherwise my illness wouldn't have been cured so quickly. I have to keep her for a few more days and let her go back to home to reunite with you when I'm completely cured."

Queen Gu thought she was funny, but she didn't expect Gu Xinian's reaction to be strange. She frowned slightly, as if she had made some decisions, and said, "Auntie, I have something to discuss with you..."

"Actually, even if my aunt doesn't say it, my niece-in-law is thinking about staying in the palace for a few more days!" Ye Qinglan took over the conversation with a smile: "Now my aunt's body has improved a lot. As long as I take care of myself, I will be cured in less than ten days. If my niece-in-law doesn't watch her recover with her own eyes, how can she feel relieved?"

Queen Gu was in a good mood today and laughed so much that she didn't notice that Gu Xinian's face looked a little ugly.

Zhang Yue noticed it, quietly glanced at Gu Xinian, then glanced at Ye Qinglan. Then he pursed his lips and smiled. However, he misunderstood the fundamental reason for the two of them's quarrel.

After all, they were newlyweds, separated for so long... No wonder Gu Xinian was unhappy!

The prince obviously misunderstood Gu Xinian's reaction and patted Gu Xinian on the shoulder with a smile: "You two are newlyweds, one lives in the palace and the other lives outside the palace. No wonder you are not happy. Don't worry, after this period of time, there will be more days to stay together every day in the future."

Queen Gu also reacted and smiled and said, "Yes, my aunt owes you a lot this time."

Speaking of this, what else can Gu Xinian say? He had to swallow his breath even if he didn't swallow it. He squeezed out a smile and replied: "You are so embarrassed to say this. Qinglan is lucky to have the honor to enter the palace to accompany her aunt. As long as her aunt's body can get better, it is more important than anything else." At the last sentence, she aggravated her tone intentionally or unintentionally, and glanced at Ye Qinglan again.

Ye Qinglan was still sitting next to him with a smile, not seeing any strangeness.

Gu Xinian felt even more humid. He forced himself to suppress his anger and said to Queen Gu: "Speaking of it, I have something to ask my aunt."

Queen Gu said angrily: "If you have anything, just say it. It's too exaggerating to ask for anything."

"Qinglan is young and has a very slight understanding. When she is impulsive when she speaks and acts, she bumped into the imperial concubine in the imperial garden yesterday," Gu Xinian said straightforwardly without going around in circles: "I'm afraid that the imperial concubine will hold a grudge in her heart. She will find opportunities to find the reason for Qinglan in the future..."

Speaking of this, Queen Gu didn't understand anything. She immediately smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. With your aunt here, no one can think of any bad thoughts."

Gu Xinian smiled faintly: "Then I thank my aunt. My nephew has entrusted Qinglan's safety to you."

Queen Gu still has a little understanding of her nephew's temper. Seeing that he was so straightforward, she took it a little more seriously.

The prince shook his eyebrows and smiled and joked: "I always thought I was the one who was a wise flower. Now I know that compared with my cousin, I am far behind."

Gu Xinian smiled but said nothing.

Ye Qinglan was still calm on the outside, but she was not at all calm in her heart. In fact, after Gu Xinian said that, she began to regret it. She knew that he was so tough because she was worried about her safety, and she knew that he asked her to return home to protect her, but why did the two of them quarrel in the end? And they were so quarreling...

Didn’t she always claim to be calm and rational? Why did this calm and rationality disappear when she met Gu Xinian?

I felt like I was blocked by something in my heart, and I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't say anything.

Until he left, Gu Xinian did not look at Ye Qinglan any more. The moment he left, the prince hurriedly replied to him: "Hey, don't you say goodbye to your wife?"

Gu Xinian ignored her questions, just smiled, and stood up and left.

Ye Qinglan raised her eyes and looked at Gu Xinian's straight back. The feeling of shortness of breath and chest tightness became even worse. But she would never want to reveal such emotions and endured them until night. She suppressed her temper and gave Queen Gu hypnosis treatment.

It was not until late at night when she was lying alone on the bed that she allowed herself to reveal all her weakness. She looked at the tent for a long time, her mind was in chaos, and her eyes were full of Gu Xinian's angry and angry look...

She asked herself that she had done nothing wrong with this matter. Even if she did it again, she would still choose to do so. She had no good feelings for Queen Gu, but no matter what, Queen Gu came from the Duke of Dingguo. If Queen Gu fell out of favor and collapsed in the palace, the prince's future journey would inevitably be more difficult. Gu Xinian would have to spend more effort to assist the prince. She could not do anything else, and at least she could do her own strength to help Queen Gu get out of the predicament faster.

After all, wasn’t she doing this for Gu Xinian? Why didn’t he understand such a thought?

Ye Qinglan is not the only one who tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night.

On the same night, Gu Xinian did not fall asleep either.

He stayed quietly in the study room for a long time. On the large and clean desk, a painting was placed. The girl in the painting was beautiful and quiet, smiling at the plum blossoms in the bottle, her eyes were a little dazed, as if she was thinking about the person she liked.

Gu Xiyu once wrote this painting. After he saw it, he secretly copied one. When he was alone in the study, he would see the painting and think of others. But now, looking at this painting, his mood is unprecedentedly complicated and confusing.

He knew that she took such a risk to create a chance for Queen Gu, and that she was so dedicated to Queen Gu for him, and that she insisted on staying in the palace to cure Queen Gu. Why did the two quarrel so hard?

But in his heart, she is the most important thing. Compared to her safety, what can Queen Gu’s predicament be? He only wishes her to live a quiet and happy life, and he is reluctant to let her rush into this muddy water. Why doesn’t she understand his feelings?

It is not too difficult to like someone. But after getting married, staying together day and night seems to be another matter...

The next morning, Zhang Yue, as usual, got up and went to Ye Qinglan's house. When he saw Ye Qinglan, Zhang Yue was shocked: "Cousin-law, are you sick? Why are you so ugly?"

After just one night, Ye Qinglan's spirit was a little depressed, and her expression was no longer as agility as before. Her two dark circles were extremely obvious.

Ye Qinglan responded vaguely: "It's probably because she didn't sleep well last night."

I have been living in the palace for so many days, so I can't I still recognize the bed! Zhang Yue thought about it, swallowed this sentence again, and smiled and said, "There will definitely be many concubines coming to pay tribute to the Queen later, and we both are waiting aside. You can't see the guests in this way, so let the maid put on makeup for you!"

Dealing with smart people does reduce a lot of trouble. For example, even if Zhang Yue guessed something, he would never ask questions rashly, which would save time.

Ruixue Ruomei's two maids were obviously worried, but they didn't ask much. They just put on Ye Qinglan more carefully, not only put on a layer of exquisite makeup, but also specially selected dazzling dresses and accessories. Finally, they covered the traces of sleepless night.

After a simple breakfast, the two went to the main hall of Fengyi Hall together. Queen Gu's spirit became better and better. She was dressed neatly and had the majesty and temperament of the six palace queens. There were already three or four palace concubines who came to pay their respects, and they were talking with Queen Gu carefully.

As soon as Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue appeared, the concubines were very enthusiastic. They all stood up and greeted each other with a smile. Ye Qinglan cheered up and greeted each other with a smile.

The incident of Ye Qinglan colliding with Concubine Zheng in the Imperial Garden has long been spread in the palace. The lives of the concubines are actually very boring, and a little bit of trouble will cause many troubles. Such things naturally became the focus of attention. The concubines couldn't help but secretly speculate in their hearts about how Concubine Zheng and Concubine Huang Meiren would deal with the ignorant Ye Qinglan.

Cao Jieyu's complaint was unexpected, but the subsequent follow-up surprised everyone. No one expected that Ye Qinglan not only passed this level safely, but the emperor also specially used lunch in Fengyi Palace. It is said that he specially appointed Ye Qinglan to have a meal with his deskmate. The way the Sacred Heart wants is really obvious.

As a result, Concubine Zheng's faction was covered in dust, while Empress Gu, who had been silent for a long time, was proud. The concubines dared not be negligent, and almost all came to Fengyi Palace to pay their respects.

Soon, the huge main hall was filled with people. The concubines of high-grade rank were sitting, and the lower-grade rank could only stand aside with a smile. In addition, the maids and female officials with high profile in each palace seemed very lively. In this case, Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue, who were sitting next to Queen Gu, were particularly eye-catching.

Especially Ye Qinglan, although she sat there quietly and didn't say much, the concubines looked over intentionally or unintentionally.

At this moment, Zhang Yue was finally completely convinced.

Ask yourself, if you change yourself, it is not easy to remain calm under so many eyes. But look at Ye Qinglan, she didn't take these concubines seriously, and didn't even raise her eyelids. Although she is the legitimate daughter of a famous family, she can only give in to the disadvantage in front of Ye Qinglan, a concubine of a low-birth birth.

...

Of course, Zhang Yue didn’t know that Ye Qinglan seemed to be focused, but in fact she had already traveled around the world. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support are my greatest motivation.)
