Chapter 216 Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred
Gu Lanzhi and Li Beichen, who were sitting in the imperial carriage, both heard the exclamation.
Li Beichen heard it but pretended not to hear it. The imperial carriage didn't even show any intention of stopping and continued to move forward.
Gu Lanzhi looked back curiously. He wanted to know who was so obedient.
He had just said in the hall that he would not stop anyone from approaching Li Beichen, and it all depended on their personal abilities, but someone started to act so quickly.
Gu Lanzhi, who was sitting on the imperial carriage, turned around and saw a pretty woman in a light pink cloak with jingling rings on her head. She was sitting on the ground very gracefully, her eyes still fixed on the imperial carriage.
Anyone can see the desire in her eyes.
It was just that her pretentious way of falling was so impressive that Gu Lanzhi had to give her a thumbs up.
He had never seen anyone who could fall so beautifully!
But her fall was destined to be wasted.
Because even if Gu Lanzhi looked back, Li Beichen had no intention of looking back at all.
The middle-aged woman next to her also realized that her daughter fell in vain. She glanced guiltily at Gu Lanzhi who turned back, and hurried forward to help her daughter.
Although the queen said she would not stop them, she is still the queen after all. Who is really willing to share her man with others?
It would have been a good thing if her daughter had really fallen into the emperor's harem, but if this failed, the empress would probably hold a grudge against them.
So the middle-aged woman hurried to support her daughter, trying to calm the queen down.
But the girl sitting on the ground was not as sensible as her mother. Her mother helped her up, but she not only did not get up immediately, she also glared at her mother unhappily, and refused to get up, her eyes still staring at the imperial carriage which never stopped.
The middle-aged woman had no choice but to say something to the girl in a low voice. The girl immediately stood up and looked in Gu Lanzhi's direction with fear.
Gu Lanzhi watched a good show and then turned around with a smile on his face.
Seeing that Gu Lanzhi had finished watching the show, Li Beichen looked at Gu Lanzhi unhappily and reached out to pinch Gu Lanzhi's face.
"How can you be so careless? Others are trying to seduce your husband, so how can you, as a wife, still be in the mood to watch the fun?"
Li Beichen knew everything Gu Lanzhi said in Fengqi Palace.
He understood that Gu Lanzhi dared to say that because he trusted him, but Li Beichen felt uncomfortable when he heard it.
He also wanted Gu Lanzhi to be jealous of his son. Although Li Beichen would never let Gu Lanzhi down, this did not stop Li Beichen from enjoying seeing Gu Lanzhi being jealous of him!
I have never seen a wife as generous as Gu Lanzhi!
Gu Lanzhi smiled and did not avoid Li Beichen's hand pinching her face, "I know my own man, except for me, no one else can catch your eye.
In that case, why don't we watch a show?
Isn't it fun to watch these girls trying their best to flirt with you but failing to get you? "
As soon as Gu Lanzhi finished speaking, the corners of Li Beichen's mouth twitched.
It was the first time he knew that his wife had such a bad taste.
But since Gu Lanzhi likes to watch it, Li Beichen just lets him do it, as long as he doesn't go too far.
If those women crossed the line, Li Beichen would not let them off easily.
The emperor and empress sat in the imperial sedan chair, chatting and laughing as they arrived at the entrance of the palace where the palace banquet was being held.
Li Beichen got off the imperial carriage first, holding the child in his arms, then turned around and reached out to help Gu Lanzhi.
Gu Lanzhi helped Li Beichen get off the imperial sedan chair. Li Beichen held the child in one hand and walked into the hall holding Gu Lanzhi's hand with the other.
All the female members following behind the imperial carriage saw the affection between the emperor and the empress.
All the middle-aged women envied Gu Lanzhi, while most of the young unmarried women were jealous of Gu Lanzhi.
Who doesn't want to have someone who loves them like this? Why can the queen have such a good emperor?
The emperor is young, handsome, heroic, and wise. Almost all the advantages are concentrated in him. How many women would not be tempted?
The person who is most jealous of Gu Lanzhi here is the woman who faked the fall before.
She screamed so sweetly when she fell, but the emperor didn't even look at her.
Based on her looks and the clothes and makeup she carefully selected for today, she believed that if His Majesty only took one look at her, she would be able to win his heart.
While she was jealous of Gu Lanzhi, she secretly cursed him in her heart.
The queen said such nice things, saying that she would not stop them from entering the harem and that it all depends on their own abilities. But she used all these tricks, and yet the queen still stopped the emperor from looking back at her!
That’s right, this mysteriously confident woman thought that it was Gu Lanzhi who prevented the emperor from looking back.
Gu Lanzhi had no time to deal with these beautiful girls. Li Beichen took his hand and walked into the hall. All the ministers who were already in the hall stood up and saluted the emperor and empress.
After traveling to this world, Gu Lanzhi was used to people saluting him, but when so many people saluted him together, Gu Lanzhi felt it was quite satisfying.
As the ministers were paying their respects, the little prince in Li Beichen's arms let out an "ah".
When Gu Lanzhi heard the baby voice, he poked his son's tender face with a smile, "Others are paying respects to your father, the emperor and the empress, why are you so shy?"
Gu Lanzhi's words were unintentional, but Li Beichen, the listener, raised his eyebrows and glanced at his son in his arms.
He had already decided in his heart that this child was the crown prince. The child just did this to him. Doesn't this mean that his decision to make this child the crown prince was a very correct one?
At such a young age, he was able to respond to the ministers' greetings.
Li Beichen pulled Gu Lanzhi to sit with him in the main hall, sitting on the dragon throne together.
Gu Lanzhi didn't think anything of it, and all the ministers looked at him meaningfully.
If the emperor asked the empress to sit with him halfway through the banquet for his own pleasure, this was normal and no one would think too much about it.
But as it is now, the banquet hasn't even started yet, and the emperor and empress are sitting on the dragon throne together, which is not ordinary.
Everyone knows that the emperor dotes on the queen, and Li Beichen is probably the first person to dote on her to this extent.
They even felt that if one day His Majesty asked the Queen to attend court, this would not be impossible.
After all, the queen has been in the palace for so long, and his title of Marquis Dingguo is still on the queen's body!
It’s not that no one has told the emperor to let the empress give up the title of Marquis Dingguo and have it inherited by other male members of the Gu family.
But wasn’t he still scolded by His Majesty?
Scolding them for having nothing to do every day and only thinking about these things, without seeing what contributions they have made to the court, and they can only think of this.
