Oh my god, can you play like this?

Time flies, and soon it is the day of the Winter Banquet.

What Gu Lanzhi hated the most was those women and concubines who would run to his Fengqi Palace early in the morning. The banquet was clearly in the afternoon, and it was almost time for dinner, but they basically came to his palace after the previous court session.

Gu Lanzhi couldn't understand why they came to the palace so early. They sat there for a whole day without complaining about the pain in their buttocks.

There are many concubines in the palace, and time passes by just walking around and chatting in one palace and that palace.

But he is the only one in the entire harem. Except for his palace, all other palaces are empty. Only the Imperial Garden is open for the female relatives to stroll around.

But now it is winter, and there is nothing for them to see. It is also very cold in winter, and no one wants to go to the Imperial Garden in the cold.

What's the point of having such a large group of women chatting awkwardly here!

Fortunately, the First Lady and Gu Nanwan understood him. They came to the palace earlier than the other women to accompany him and help him deal with the open and secret struggles among the other women.

But today Gu Lanzhi discovered something interesting, that is, those younger girls who wanted to enter the palace to become queens, surprisingly, all didn't stay in his palace very often.

It's not that he is away all the time, but he goes out for a while and then comes back to sit and talk for a while before going out again.

Gu Lanzhi looked at the girls coming and going, with a faint smile on his face.

Everyone knows that these girls are hoping to run into the emperor by chance, or create some opportunities to enter the palace and become concubines, because Gu Lanzhi said that he would not stop them from getting close to the emperor.

If you had said that before the day Gu Lanzhi became jealous, they had been so scheming to seduce the emperor, Gu Lanzhi would have been a little worried.

But since he made things clear with Li Beichen that day, Gu Lanzhi no longer cares about it and is very confident in Li Beichen.

But Gu Lanzhi felt itchy in his heart and always wanted to go and see the fun. He wanted to know what means these girls could use to seduce the emperor.

I really want to know if there are any new tricks and if there is any fun.

But Gu Lanzhi is the queen after all, her status is there, it would be difficult for her to abandon this room full of people and go watch the fun.

Gu Lanzhi could only be patient and pretend to be nice to the women in the room.

That was really tiring! He had to think about every word he said in advance, wondering if he would fall into a trap set by others, or if he would say something wrong and lose his power as the queen.

Gu Lanzhi is not a good-tempered person. He gets annoyed after dealing with him for a while.

If it weren't for the help of the eldest lady, he would have been able to drive these people away.

The eldest lady is a lady from an aristocratic family, so she was able to deal with these people without any mistakes.

No matter what kind of attack you make, you can easily block it, and you can't find any fault with it at all.

After hearing this, Gu Lanzhi admired the eldest lady so much!

Although Gu Nanwan had inherited the true teachings of the eldest lady and could handle the situation appropriately, her skills were obviously not good enough and she still had to rely on the eldest lady to back her up.

Even if Gu Lanzhi didn't go out to watch the little girl's fun, it would be fun to just watch the eldest lady fighting with these female relatives, at least it wouldn't be boring.

The little prince was in Gu Lanzhi's arms, looking around the room with his eyes rolling around. His expression was exactly the same as Gu Lanzhi's, like a spectator watching the show.

Feng Ran was watching beside Gu Lanzhi. Looking at the expressions of the father and son, she could hardly suppress the smile.

They are so similar that even the direction of the eyes' movement is very consistent. It's like copy and paste.

The female members of the family arrived early, so they naturally had lunch in Fengqi Palace. However, Gu Lanzhi, the eldest lady and the others ate in the inner courtyard and did not eat with the female members of the family.

After returning to the inner courtyard, Gu Lanzhi collapsed on the sofa, exhausted.

The eldest lady looked helplessly at Gu Lanzhi who was slumped like a pancake, "Look at you, you are already the queen, but you are still so out of shape."

The eldest lady pulled Gu Nanwan to sit on the sofa next to her.

"Auntie, you know I'm tired of dealing with these people, but I have to stay alert to deal with them. I'm lucky I've managed to last this long!"

As soon as Gu Lanzhi finished speaking, he heard a commotion in the front yard.

Gu Lanzhi weakly raised his head, looked outside the palace, and asked Feng Ran, "What's going on?"

Feng Ran had always been following Gu Lanzhi, so he naturally had no idea what had happened before.

Feng Ran quickly ran to the front to take a look. Not long after, Feng Ran ran back smiling.

"Your Majesty has come down for lunch. Just as he got off the imperial sedan at the gate of Fengqi Palace, a girl fell in front of your Majesty's feet..."

Before Feng Ran finished speaking, Gu Lanzhi pouted and said, "You really have no creativity at all. Is that all you can do?"

Feng Ran smiled and continued, "Your Majesty probably felt that there was nothing new, so he reprimanded the girl for disturbing the emperor and had her sent out of the palace."

Gu Lanzhi shook his hands, "It's over, that girl must be so sad!

Not only did she fall, but she was also scolded and thrown out of the palace. All her love was wasted!"

"From what you said, you seem to be quite regretful?" Li Beichen's teasing voice came over, and he also walked in.

The eldest lady and Gu Nanwan quickly stood up and saluted Li Beichen, but Gu Lanzhi didn't even move his butt.

Li Beichen waved to the eldest lady and Gu Nanwan, asking them to excuse themselves.

The eldest lady and Gu Nanwan often went to the palace to see Gu Lanzhi, and they were already familiar with His Majesty. Although they were still very respectful, they were no longer as nervous and afraid when they saw Li Beichen as before.

Li Beichen waved his hand to tell them to excuse themselves, and they stood up.

"It's really a pity! It's a pity that I didn't get to see the show!" Gu Lanzhi sat up from his collapsed state.

Li Beichen walked over to Gu Lanzhi and sat down, then said to the eldest lady and Gu Nanwan, "Auntie, elder sister, you sit down too.

I've said it before, we're family, no need to be so polite."

After hearing Li Beichen's words, the eldest lady and Gu Nanwan sat down again.

Your Majesty can say that family members don’t need to be polite, but the First Madam and Gu Nanwan cannot really be rude and really not treat Your Majesty as the emperor. Etiquette must be observed.

"You! Do you just love to watch the fun? If it weren't for what you said before, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

Just looking at the look in those women’s eyes makes me feel annoyed.”

Li Beichen really disliked it. He hated the greed in those women's eyes.

Li Beichen could feel their admiration for him, but he could also sense their plotting hidden beneath their admiration.

Li Beichen fell in love with Gu Lanzhi at first sight, not only because Gu Lanzhi was handsome, a general, and the Marquis of Dingguo, but more importantly, the look in Gu Lanzhi's eyes when he looked at Li Beichen was very clear, and there was nothing else except satisfaction with Li Beichen's appearance.

Li Beichen didn't like others being obsessed with his appearance before, but he hated others scheming against him even more.

Only with Gu Lanzhi, he hoped that Gu Lanzhi would be obsessed with his appearance.

Because if even his appearance cannot attract Gu Lanzhi, then there is nothing about Li Beichen that can attract Gu Lanzhi.

Gu Lanzhi had no desire for power, but money? Gu Lanzhi could earn it himself.

Apart from his appearance, Li Beichen really has nothing else.
