The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Chapter 354: Which one is not better than Shen Qingyan?

The emperor, whom the noble ladies had been waiting for all night, finally arrived.

Gu Beihuai heard a report that a monster appeared at the princess' birthday banquet, causing the guests to panic.

He was afraid that something might happen to Shen Qingyan, so he immediately put down his official duties and rushed over.

"Your Highness~"

Everyone saluted.

Gu Beihuai strode to the seat and helped Shen Qingyan up.

"Yan'er, is there anything wrong?"

Shen Qingyan shook her head gently, "Why is the emperor here?"

She thought he was busy with work and would not come today.

Gu Beihuai looked her up and down and made sure that she was okay, then he felt relieved.

"I heard something and I'm worried about you."

Then he turned his gaze to Gu Ruxiao.

"Ruxiao, do you know your mistake?"

From the moment he appeared, two words popped up in Gu Ruxiao's mind.

It’s over.

Without thinking twice, he knelt down immediately.

"Ruxiao knows his mistake."

"What's wrong?"

do not know.

“It’s all wrong.”

……

Gu Beihuai stroked his forehead with his hand, his suppressed anger about to burst out.

"I heard that you raised an evil creature and put it at the banquet, causing trouble for the noble lady and Yan'er. Where is that evil creature?"

Gu Ruxiao suddenly raised his eyes and explained hurriedly.

"Brother, that is not an evil thing, it is..."

"Nonsense!" Gu Beihuai's cold eyes were like a cold blade, making Gu Ruxiao dare not refute again. "You are an unmarried princess, but you actually raise those evil creatures. What is your intention? Do you want to stay at home all your life?"

Gu Ruxiao had a thousand words waiting for him in her heart, but she couldn't utter a single word.

I feel wronged. I really feel wronged.

At this moment, an inappropriate female voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, calm down. I heard that this thing was a birthday gift from Concubine Zhao to the princess..."

Who else but Rong Fenghua could be the one to direct this anger?

She sneered in her heart, Shen Qingyan, even if you are favored, so what? You have bewitched the princess of the dynasty to raise such an evil creature, let's see how you can bear the emperor's anger and disgust.

She bribed many people in the palace to pass this news to Gu Beihuai.

Today, she must let Gu Beihuai see her.

But the next moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

Gu Beihuai's voice instantly became eight degrees softer, and he asked Shen Qingyan softly.

"Yan'er, is this really from you?"

Shen Qingyan nodded innocently, "It was given to me by your concubine."

Gu Ruxiao was afraid that she would be punished, so she quickly said, "I insisted on having this thing."

Qiu Ying also quickly explained, "It's my fault. If I hadn't told Ruxiao the story of the chameleon, she wouldn't have clamored for it."

Rong Fenghua just felt it was ironic. Even if you blame each other, you can't avoid the emperor's wrath. After all, in Tianfeng, being contaminated by evil spirits is a taboo.

Gu Beihuai was silent for a moment, showing no sign of anger.

"What on earth is this?"

Gu Ruxiao said hurriedly: "Its name is Zhenzhen, it's a chameleon, a lizard, a lizard..."

"It's a kind of lizard." Qiu Ying took over the conversation. "It can change the color of its body according to the surrounding environment. It is not an evil creature. On the contrary, it often devours some harmful insects to drive away evil spirits. It symbolizes auspiciousness, peace, happiness, longevity and health. The reason why Ruxiao raised it is to make Your Majesty healthy and blessed."

The first half is true, the second half is made up.

Gu Ruxiao quickly demonstrated it on the spot. He put Zhenzhen on his sleeve, and it turned into the same color as the sleeve.

Gu Beihuai showed no expression after seeing this, but instead looked at Shen Qingyan.

"Yan'er, is this true?"

Of course Shen Qingyan nodded, quietly holding Gu Beihuai's hand, and said in a coquettish tone: "Your Majesty is wise, Zhenzhen is not an evil creature, but a lucky creature raised by Ruxiao, who wants to pray for your Majesty."

Gu Beihuai helped her lift up her hair with a gentle tone.

"Okay, I understand."

From the moment he entered the room, there was only Shen Qingyan in his eyes and heart. Whenever he spoke to her, his tone was unspeakably gentle. With such favoritism, the noble ladies could only watch.

Especially Rong Fenghua, whose nails dug deeply into the palms of her hands, she was extremely angry.

It seems that she has underestimated Shen Qingyan's position in the emperor's heart. She must take the initiative.

So he winked at Hongju.

Hongju understood and shouted quickly.

"Miss, what's wrong with you, miss?"

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

Rong Fenghua's body was staggering, and Hongju was supporting her anxiously and worriedly.

Finally, Gu Beihuai's attention was attracted.

Rong Fenghua was secretly delighted and quickly found a good angle to present her fragile, yet beautiful side to Gu Beihuai.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry for my rudeness. I was frightened by Concubine Zhao's birthday ceremony and I am feeling unwell..."

As he spoke, he inadvertently revealed his injured arm.

There were shocking scratches on Oubai's arms, which was particularly terrifying.

However, Gu Beihuai just glanced at him coldly and spoke coldly.

"If you are not feeling well, please call the imperial physician. I don't know any medical skills."

"Concubine Zhao and Princess Yu are pregnant, don't let the blood disturb them."

"..."

Rong Fenghua staggered and almost fell.

This is the result of her carefully planned first meeting with the emperor?

After Gu Beihuai finished speaking, he did not make any eye contact or verbal contact with her. All his attention was on Shen Qingyan.

"It's windy outside, why don't you put on a cloak? Be careful not to catch a cold."

"I'm a bit busy these days, I'm afraid I can't come to the Princess's Mansion to see you often, would you mind coming back to the palace with me?"

In front of everyone, Gu Beihuai showed infinite tenderness and doting towards Shen Qingyan, giving her enough sense of security and trust.

Shen Qingyan thought about it and shook her head.

"Your Majesty, I would like to stay in the princess's mansion for a few more days."

What? The emperor asked her to return to the palace so gently, but she refused?

Are you able to do whatever you want just because you are favored?

However, Gu Beihuai was not angry, but smiled helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I'll come see you tomorrow."

Everyone: "..."

Under the scorching gazes of the noble ladies, Gu Beihuai walked away without looking away.

"Congratulations to the emperor."

As soon as Gu Beihuai left, the noble ladies obviously had no more thoughts.

The emperor they had been waiting for for so long did come, but he showed his affection for them and then left. They didn’t even deserve a glance from him.

Is this the difference between love and not love?

Of course, the one who was hurt the most was Rong Fenghua.

She tried to calm her breathing and maintain her final dignity.

Originally, she had no feelings for Gu Beihuai, because all she cared about was the supreme position in the harem.

But today, when she saw how tall and handsome Gu Beihuai was, and how gentle he was towards Shen Qingyan, she was moved.

If I could get such favor from him, why would I worry about not being able to sit on the throne of queen?

She is talented and beautiful, has a good family background, and has a brother who is the prime minister. In which way is she not better than Shen Qingyan?

She couldn't believe that she would lose to the daughter of a guilty minister whose entire family was exiled.

Thinking of this, Rong Fenghua's confidence returned a little.

In time, she will definitely catch the emperor's eye and receive such favor!
