“It’s simple.” Gu Yanfei nimbly snapped her fingers and suggested “kindly”, “Empress Dowager, if you don’t believe me, you can call an imperial physician to ask.”
Gu Yanfei smiled.
Empress Dowager Yuan’s graceful face instantly darkened.
This girl had put her in a tough spot with just a few words. If she really called an imperial physician to ask about the Emperor’s dragon body now, it would mean she “didn’t believe” that the Emperor’s dragon body was healthy.
“…” Empress Dowager Yuan’s eyes were uncertain, and the veins on her forehead throbbed. She still sat upright, and an extremely fierce aura emitted from her body, causing the palace maids serving her to lower their heads timidly.
Lu Qin secretly gave Gu Yanfei a thumbs up.
Wei Jiaoniang eagerly handed Gu Yanfei the second pot of tea that the palace maid had just served.
Gu Yanfei calmly took the teacup and drank the tea. She even had the time to size up the scenery outside the window. Her sharp eyes saw a black cat chasing a white cat over the wall in the snow. Its movements were agile and fast as it flashed past.
Ever since she received the second merit from the heavens before the new year, her eyes had become sharper and more sensitive than those of ordinary people. Otherwise, she would probably not have been able to see the two cats clearly.
Gu Yanfei’s lips curved into a smile. She was in a good mood.
All sound in the warm pavilion disappeared and spread silently.
Empress Dowager Yuan picked up the teacup in silence and sipped the hot tea. Her appearance was still calm, but her fingers tightened slightly on the lid, and her fingertips were white.
Since she had already said this, if she insisted on pursuing Gu Yanfei’s matter, it would make her look like a petty Empress Dowager who insisted on arguing with a subject.
Moreover, once word got out, outsiders wouldn’t care if Gu Yanfei’s calculations were accurate. They would only speculate and attack that, as the Empress Dowager, she couldn’t wait for the Emperor to be ill!
This girl was simply despicable!!
Recalling the last time she was at Prince Jing’s Manor and how Gu Yanfei had used her to break free from her engagement with Fang Mingfeng, Empress Dowager Yuan hated Gu Yanfei even more.
When the cat outside the window was gone, Gu Yanfei retracted her gaze and pretended that she wasn’t distracted just now. She asked nonchalantly, “I wonder if Empress Dowager Yuan thinks I’m accurate?”
No one expected Gu Yanfei to say this. When Empress Dowager Yuan placed the teacup on the coffee table, the sound of the teacup hitting the coffee table wasn’t loud, but it made everyone tremble in fear and fixate their gazes on her.
Empress Dowager Yuan smiled again.
Only this time, her smile had a hint of a fake smile.
“Good prediction.”
Empress Dowager Yuan slowly squeezed out these words from between her teeth.
The palace maid in charge at the side swallowed silently. She could clearly feel the Empress Dowager’s suppressed anger.
The last time the Empress Dowager was so angry was on the day the Eldest Prince returned to the capital. The Shou’an Palace had been covered in dark clouds for a few days.
The palace maid in charge composed herself. When she looked at Gu Yanfei again, her gaze became even more complicated.
Was Second Lady Gu just fighting for a moment, or was she trying to force the Empress Dowager to admit that she had calculated it accurately so that the Empress Dowager wouldn’t settle scores with her in the future?
There was another moment of silence in the warm pavilion. There was an indescribable awkwardness, causing several of the girls to become ill at ease.
Empress Dowager Yuan looked unhappy. Even if she was smiling, she was no longer in a good mood. She asked Lu Qin perfunctorily, “Ah Qin, I remember your grandmother saying that you’re good at chess and often play chess with your grandfather.”
Lu Qin wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, straightened her face, and answered obediently, “Your Majesty, Grandma is overpraising me. I’m just accompanying Grandpa to relieve his boredom.”
‘You’re quite humble, child,” Empress Dowager Yuan said indifferently.
After that, there was no more commotion.
Empress Dowager Yuan asked about the preferences of the girls and casually dismissed them. ‘Tm tired. Liu Xia, bring them to the imperial garden.”
Liu Xia was the palace maid-in-charge. She hurriedly bowed and accepted the order.
In a few moments, the girls rose and excused themselves. In twos and threes, they walked around a six-panel screen and headed out, talking and laughing.
Without these young ladies, this warm pavilion immediately seemed much wider and more spacious.
Empress Dowager Yuan stared at Gu Yanfei’s back After a while, she lowered her voice and said, ‘Did the Eldest Prince arrange the carriage?
‘Yes,” the old granny whispered back.
Empress Dowager Yuan was just asking casually.
It was so obvious that there was no need to even guess.
Empress Dowager Yuan couldn’t help but recall what her son had said to her half a month ago...
Back then, she was also skeptical. She felt that how could the Eldest Prince take a fancy to such a wild girl? Having wandered outside for more than ten years, this girl didn’t have any shocking talent, nor did she know how to deal with people. The Gu family wasn’t like the Wei family who had a father and ancestor who could support the family. After all, the Dingyuan Marquis Household was no longer like the time when the Marquis of Dingyuan, Gu Ce, was still around...
However, from the way Chu Yi had put in so much effort for this girl today, she could tell he was sincere.
Empress Dowager Yuan smiled and said sarcastically, “Is this all our Eldest Prince has his eyes on?
As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes, and a cold glint flashed across them.
Both princes had been seduced by the Gu family’s ladies!
The old granny had been by Empress Dowager Yuan’s side for decades, so she could naturally tell that there was a hidden meaning in her words. She pretended not to know and smiled apologetically. “I’m thinking that she can be just a concubine, so it’s fine as long as she’s good-looking.”
There was a moment of silence. The chatter and laughter of the girls in front of them gradually faded away, leaving only the faint smell of sandalwood lingering in the house.
‘You’re right.” Empress Dowager Yuan chuckled. Her fingertips softened as she stroked her cuffs, and her pinly curled slightly.
Indeed, Gu Yanfei’s appearance was outstanding, and her face was also top-notch in the capital.
Unfortunately, she only had such a beautiful face.
Having her as a concubine?
