"Mother, Qing Ya has been eating so little since the day she married your son.”Gu Zeyan didn't pay much attention to how much Xiao Qingya ate. It was only when the Empress Dowager mentioned it that he remembered that Xiao Qingya never ate much.
"Then wangye is wrong. Wangfei eats so little that you should change her taste. Look at how thin Wangfei is.”Su Rongruo interjected on behalf of the Empress Dowager.
"Ruo 'er, don't talk nonsense." Gu Zejin glanced at Su Rongruo. He didn't like her interrupting, and he didn't like her speaking up for others.
"Yes." Su Rongruo smiled and closed her mouth. She didn't speak anymore and just sat there quietly.
"Ruo 'er is right, this is Yan' er's fault. If this widow sees Qing Ya so thin again, this widow will not forgive you.”The Empress Dowager agreed with her words and warned Gu Zeyan.
"Your son will remember it." Gu Zeyan agreed.
"Mother, we've already eaten dinner. Why don't we go admire the night view?”Gu Zeluo spoke up at the right time, not wanting the originally good atmosphere to be disturbed by such a topic.
"Alright, we'll listen to Luo 'er." The Empress Dowager got up and held Su Rongruo in her left hand and Xiao Qingya in her right hand. She let the three brothers follow behind her.
What a scene of a loving mother and filial son. However, under this calm surface, there was still an undercurrent. Whether it was the Empress Dowager reprimanding the three brothers or the love of her daughter-in-law, it was not difficult to see that she was a smart person. If it was not for her true love, she would not have been able to become the Empress Dowager and even make the four brothers behave so well in front of her.
"Mother, look at how beautiful the lotus flowers are.”Su Rongruo, who was beside the Empress Dowager, pointed at the lotus pond not far away. She was pointing at the most beautiful flower in the pond with a happy face. At this moment, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond stood gracefully in all kinds of poses. They smiled and stood there shyly. Their tender pistils were condensed into pearls, and they were full of water. The fragrance was refreshing!
"Ruo 'er really has good taste. That flower is the most beautiful one. Qingya doesn't go to the palace often, so I don't know if she'll like an old woman like me.”The empress dowager smiled as she looked at the lotus flower in the river pond and turned to ask Xiao Qingya.
"Qingya likes mother very much." Xiao Qingya smiled faintly at the Empress Dowager. Perhaps the Empress Dowager's smile was too similar to her mother's, so she unconsciously told the Empress Dowager the truth," Qingya's mother passed away early and didn't have the chance to experience her love. Today, with mother's love, Qingya is very happy."”
"Good, good, good. Then Qingya must come to the palace often to accompany this old woman.”The empress dowager held Xiao Qingya's hand and patted it.
"Yes, Qingya." Xiao Qingya bowed.
"Mother, it's getting late. I'll go back with Qing Ya first.”Gu Zeyan stepped forward to hug Xiao Qingya and looked at the empress dowager with a smile. It was time to stop this gossip.
"Then go back, Qing Ya will come back tomorrow to accompany this widow.”The Empress Dowager looked at the sky and felt a little tired, so she agreed.
Xiao Qingya nodded in agreement. Gu Zeyan received the Empress Dowager's approval and immediately hugged Xiao Qingya to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. The Empress Dowager looked at the two of them who were holding hands as they left, and Gu Zeyan's concerned eyes that he couldn't even notice from time to time. She immediately felt very gratified.
"It seems that Yan 'er has fallen in love with Qingya.”The empress dowager looked at the two departing figures with satisfaction as she muttered to herself. The two brothers behind her looked at each other and smiled.
"The Empress Dowager can't see, please let go of your highness.”Xiao Qingya frowned and whispered to Gu Zeyan after they walked some distance away.
"What's wrong? You don't like this king hugging you that much?" Gu Zeyan sneered at Xiao Qingya.
"Your Highness, please do not forget the three promises you made to me.”Xiao Qingya broke free from Gu Zeyan's embrace, panting heavily from the excessive struggle.
The hickey on Xiao Qingya's neck was also exposed during the pulling. Gu Zeyan's gloating smile froze at the corner of his mouth. He narrowed his eyes at Xiao Qingya. Whose masterpiece was that? " Then who did it?" she asked.”
Xiao Qingya was stunned. Her hand followed Gu Zeyan's gaze and stroked her neck. She immediately pulled her clothes and frowned." Your Highness, you worry too much. Qingya will take her leave."”
Xiao Qingya ignored the question in Gu Zeyan's eyes, but the way he walked made Gu Zeyan even more certain that he had done something with someone else without him knowing. Gu Zeyan didn't look away until Xiao Qingya's figure disappeared in front of him.
"Xiao Qingya, this king wants to see who can make you submit to me!”The anger in Gu Zeyan's eyes would make anyone who saw it feel afraid, but this thought of Shanji did not make him think deeply.
Gu Zeyan quickly walked forward and saw Xiao Qingya already in the carriage when he reached the palace gate. Gu Zeyan narrowed his eyes and boarded the carriage. Along the way, the two of them were speechless. Gu Zeyan's face was even more gloomy. When he heard the coachman say that they had arrived at the residence, Gu Zeyan got out of the car with a dark face. He ignored Xiao Qingya in the car and went straight into the residence.
"Princess Consort, are you…alright?" Baili Qingkong immediately helped Xiao Qingya out of the car and asked worriedly.
"Thank you, Qing Ya is fine." Xiao Qingya smiled at Baili Qingkong.
" Princess Consort, you…" Baili Qingkong stopped. He didn't know what to say. He just looked at the hickey on Xiao Qingya's neck.
"What happened to Butler Baili?" Xiao Qingya looked at Baili Qingkong in confusion. She lowered her head slightly and knew what was going on.
"Did Your Highness see it?" Baili Qingkong began to ask Xiao Qingya worriedly, what should His Highness do if he knew about this? If wangye suspected others, then won't wangfei be blamed again?
"You must have seen it. If your highness has doubts, then go ahead.”Xiao Qingya said weakly. He had no energy to think about these things. It was his first time last night, and he was forced to accompany the Empress Dowager for a family banquet this morning. He was even more exhausted. At this moment, Xiao Qingya only wanted to go back to her room to rest.
"Then Qingkong, help wangfei back to her room." Baili Qingkong helped Xiao Qingya back to her room slowly. After helping Xiao Qingya back to her room, he went to see Gu Zeyan. He saw Gu Zeyan sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, as if he was deliberately waiting for Baili Qingkong. The flames in his eyes that could burn everything showed that Gu Zeyan was currently in a rage.
"Your Highness." Baili Qingkong immediately lowered his head, not daring to look into Gu Zeyan's sharp eyes.
"Did anyone come here last night?" Gu Zeyan asked coldly.
"Your Highness, no one came last night.”Baili Qingkong replied, but he was shocked. Could it be that he really saw the kiss marks on the princess consort's neck? What should he do?
"Really?" Gu Zeyan suddenly asked in a deep voice, making Baili Qingkong immediately withdraw his thoughts and focus on dealing with it.
"Yes, there isn't." Baili Qingkong answered with a sincere expression.
Could it be someone from the residence? Gu Zeyan's heart was filled with doubts. He laughed coldly in his heart. Since he, a man, was willing to serve under others, then he, Xiao Qingya, was really not that elegant? He didn't believe that he couldn't find out who Xiao Qingya had stolen from. Gu Zeyan crushed the teacup in his hand as he thought about it. His strength was as great as the anger in his heart.
"From now on, keep a close eye on this king. No one is allowed to see Xiao Qingya, not even Feng Shang.”Gu Zeyan's voice was as cold as winter, causing Baili Qingkong, who had been by his side for many years, to feel a chill in his heart.
"Yes, Baili Qingkong." Baili Qingkong saw Gu Zeyan wave his hand to dismiss him, turned around, and left to inform the servants. He turned around and walked towards Shui Lichen's bedroom.
"Why is Qing Kong free to come over today?”Shui Lichen asked coldly with a hint of joy.
"Qingkong has something to ask of you." Baili Qingkong did not beat around the bush and directly stated his intentions." I want to ask Lichen to ask the Luo Wangye to look for the Wangfei tomorrow. I want the Wangye to see who he likes in his heart.”
"Why did Qingkong suddenly become like this?" Shui Lichen was a little puzzled, but for the sake of the two kings, he would agree to do this. This was good for everyone.
