The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

[I underestimated Yang's methods.]

[These shameless country folk are beyond the reach of ladies from wealthy families, as they have no shame.]

[The concubine is provoking the mistress, wanting her to divorce and get out of the house. How can I not watch such a big show? Besides, it's better to share the joy with others than to enjoy it alone. It's pointless for me to watch it alone.]

Gu Jianchu looked at Wan Ning and Wen Zhaoyi and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go and watch the fun?"

Upon hearing that there was something exciting to watch, Wan Ning and Wen Zhaoyi instantly became interested, "What's so exciting, Queen?"

Since they were going to eat melons, Gu Jianchu didn't intend to hide it. "Yunhe helped me get something from the side hall. When she came back, she saw Yang and Tang arguing over General Zhang."

Gu Jianchu really couldn't think of any other excuse, so he could only let Yunhe take the blame.

Wen Zhaoyi and Wan Ning couldn't hide the excitement on their faces.

Just as the two were about to get up to watch the fun, Gu Jianchu immediately stopped them and said, "Why don't you call Xie Qingzhi and your aunt to come along and watch it together so it will be more lively."

Xie Ci'an rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

The Queen really loves to join in the fun, and now she has developed the habit of bringing so many people to join in the fun, so she can't invite him to join.

Wan Ning nodded immediately and turned to talk to the eldest sister and Xie Qingzhi. The two of them were also bored. The affairs of General Zhang's family were a hot topic, and they had all heard about it. How could they not go and watch such excitement?

The two of them immediately stood up and came to Gu Jianchu.

Gu Jianchu also asked Zhu Xia to call Gu Jianyue along.

Several people left their seats at the same time, which inevitably confused the ladies who noticed the commotion here. The wife of the Vice Minister of Justice and the wife of the Vice Minister of Personnel gathered together and gossiped in low voices.

"Why did the Queen and the Empress leave together?" The wife of the Minister of Justice asked curiously.

"I'm afraid something has happened. I heard that this girl and the Empress are not on good terms." The Minister of Rites added.

"What important matter could have caused these people to leave together? Maybe something big happened."

"However, ever since the Prince Consort and his wife divorced, the relationship between her and the Empress has eased. Otherwise, why would his wife, with such a bad temper, come to the Empress's Thousand Years Banquet? I heard he even brought her a lot of goodies."

"The Empress loves to join in the fun, so she might join in again." The Princess stepped forward and interjected.

The Queen's love of joining in the fun has become well-known among the ministers and their wives.

Wherever there is a lively place, the Queen will definitely be there.

"How did the Princess know this?" The wife of the Minister of Justice couldn't help but ask curiously. They had never eaten melons live before, and they wanted to follow the Queen to eat melons live.

The Princess glanced at the seat next to her and said, "General Zhang's wife and the thing she brought back are both gone."

They were only paying attention to the queen and didn't notice when Tang and Yang left.

The wives in the capital all looked down on Yang, so naturally, they didn't have any good opinions about her.

The Queen really went to watch the fun.

The wife of the Minister of Justice couldn't help but whisper, "Can we go over and see what's going on?"

"Just say you're going to sort out your clothes, but I don't know where it is." The Princess also wanted to join in the fun.

"The Empress has just left. I think she hasn't gone far. We can still catch up with her if we chase her now." The wife of the Minister of Personnel left as soon as she said she would. She had already called the eunuch and said she was going to tidy up her clothes.

When the ladies sitting nearby realized that they were there to join in the fun, they all followed.

Following the system's instructions, Gu Jianchu led Xie Qingzhi and the group of people through the corridor to the side hall.

This side hall has several entrances and exits because it is connected to the Qingliang Hall and the backyard.

Gu Jianchu and the others had just reached the door of the side hall, but before they entered, they heard crisp slapping sounds coming from inside.

Several people looked at each other and smelled the scent of a big melon.

Yunhe stepped forward and gently pushed open a gap.

Yang covered her face with her hands, her eyes red, and stared at Tang like a wronged rabbit.

Finally, a provocative smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He walked closer to Tang Shi and whispered in her ear, "Sister, you should take the initiative to step down and let the general take over. The general doesn't like you at all. Why do you keep clinging to him and making things so ugly? It's not good for anyone."

"I am now pregnant with the general's child. The general is even more doting and pampering towards me. The general said that he would make my child the only legitimate son."

"Although my identity is not glorious, the one who is not loved in love is the mistress, isn't it, sister?"

[Why does this sound so familiar? A mistress is someone who isn't loved. Who told you to interpret it that way? A mistress is a mistress, but you've made it sound so grandiose.]

[You know your identity is dishonorable, yet you're still so shameless. This is definitely more than just being thick-skinned.]

Tang's fingers gradually clenched into fists, and he forced himself not to deliver the second slap.

Yang had been provoking her since just now, and she couldn't help but slapped Yang. Unexpectedly, Yang was not afraid at all, and even became more aggressive and moved closer.

Yang looked towards the main door and saw a tall figure about to push it open. A cold smile appeared on Yang's lips. She approached Tang and said aggrievedly, "Sister, hit me. I was sorry for you when I was with the general, but I couldn't control my emotions and had sex with the general, and I got pregnant. If you don't like me, I can leave after giving birth to the child and give it to you to raise. I just hope that you will treat my child as your own."

Yang was like a madman, her words were inconsistent. She had said before that the child would be a legitimate son, but now she said that the child would be given to her to raise.

Just as Tang frowned, Yang seemed to slip and fall to the ground, tears filling her eyes. "Sister, I really don't want to separate you and the general. I know you're angry. You can hit me all you want, but you can't push my belly. I'm pregnant with the general's child."

The moment Yang's voice fell, the main door of the side hall was kicked open with great force, and General Zhang appeared in the side hall with anger. His eyes were bloodshot and without asking any questions, he walked up and slapped Tang in the face.

The man was so strong that a clear slap mark instantly appeared on Tang's face, and blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth. His body was knocked to the side by the force and he stumbled a few steps. Fortunately, he reacted in time and did not fall down completely.

Before Tang could say anything, General Zhang's voice, filled with hostility, came over, "I really didn't expect you to be such a vicious person. You disappoint me. Even if you don't like Yang, you can tell me there's no need to harm her and her unborn child. If anything happens to Yang, I won't let you go."
