Shen Chou immediately shook his head seriously, "She is my only wife! Not a concubine!"

"When this Lord Marquis chooses an auspicious day, I will certainly announce to the world that I am getting married. Your Majesty, I hope you will do me the honor of coming over to drink a glass of wedding wine."

Seeing the expression on the emperor's face, the queen felt a little embarrassed, and the veins on the back of her hands bulged, as if she was about to get angry in the next second. She secretly groaned in her heart, and quickly laughed it off.

"Um! Miss Yu! I was so happy to see you for the first time. I happened to have prepared a gift for you but forgot to bring it with me. Why don't you come with me to the back and get it?"

Yu Ruyue immediately looked at Shen Chou beside her.

Shen Chou didn't want the little monster to leave him.

The Queen hugged him and said, "Marquis Wu'an, are you still worried about me? This is the imperial palace. I will definitely protect your sweetheart."

Yu Ruyue felt that when the Queen called her her sweetheart, the Emperor's eyes looked at her as if they were filled with murderous intent.

But why?

To be honest, she could understand that even the queen had ill intentions towards her, but why did the emperor do that?

Shen Chou thought about what to do next and finally let Yu Ruyue go, but he still warned: "My wife is timid. If she encounters something scary, she will have some stress reaction. I hope the Queen will not be angry when the time comes!"

The queen nodded immediately under the death gaze of the emperor beside her.

"Don't worry! There's nothing to be afraid of in the harem. Don't worry, my Lord!"

Shen Chou gave her a few more detailed instructions before Yu Ruyue followed the queen away. However, as soon as she left Shen Chou's sight, the smile on the queen's face instantly faded.

She looked at Yu Ruyue with a very cold look, then walked forward first. When she turned around and came to an equally magnificent palace, she found that there were many beautiful women in gorgeous clothes sitting inside.

When those people saw Yu Ruyue, they felt jealous, surprised, curious, and mostly resentful.

As soon as she entered, the beautiful woman in the front seat on her left immediately took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, saying with disgust, "Where did you get this slut? Why does she smell like slop? It's really disgusting. I don't know what kind of vision that the God of Death has to have to fall for this bitch from unknown origins."

The woman leading the group on the right also said with a smile, "Who said it wasn't true? I thought Marquis Wu'an was into men, but it turns out he's into the dirt-skinned country folk."

"But then again, wasn't Marquis Wu'an born into a peasant family? This is truly like a fish seeking fish and a shrimp seeking shrimp!"

Another elegantly dressed woman said, "Two sisters! Why are you speaking so harshly? Didn't the Marquis just arrest a few of your brothers? Why embarrass a little girl?"

"Oh! So he didn't capture your cousin! Why are you pretending? Do you really think that if you act nice and cozy in front of this bitch, he'll be able to whisper in your ear? Marquis Wu'an was just joking, and you took it seriously~?"

Yu Ruyue just stood in the middle, listening to them arguing for about an incense stick of time. Her legs were sore from standing, but the queen still sat quietly at the top, drinking tea, watching the farce below coldly, with no intention of letting her sit down.

Yu Ruyue was truly annoyed by what she heard. She took two steps forward and shouted, "Empress, didn't you say you would give me a gift? Where is it? Give it to me quickly, I'm going back to find the Marquis."

The queen looked at the woman who walked in front of her, her eyes full of anger!

Seeing this, the old maid next to them immediately shouted, "How dare you! The Empress didn't tell you to move, so why are you moving forward? You are such an ignorant person! How dare you ask the Empress for a gift? Why don't you kneel down and kowtow and admit your mistake!"

Yu Ruyue knew that there was no good person in this palace.

He said one thing to your face and another behind your back. He really thought she was from the country and was easy to bully.

Anyway, Shen Chou said that she was easily stressed out. Since she had warned him in advance, she naturally would not continue to endure it.

Yu Ruyue stared at the Queen, "Your Majesty, you didn't ask me to come here to give me something, did you? You deliberately let me be ridiculed and insulted by them, just to show off your power!"

"Be bold!"

The old nanny beside the queen scolded again.

Yu Ruyue sneered, "How dare you!? Who do you think you are? How dare you say that to me? I was just reminding the Empress not to act on her anger and commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. After all, the Empress said in front of the Emperor that she would give me a gift and protect me well. Is this what you call protection? You want me to come here and stand and get scolded!? I'm still pregnant. If my child is in danger in your palace, I'm afraid the crime of deceiving the emperor will be completely confirmed."

The queen sat on it, looking at her gravely, but still said nothing.

The several ladies who were acting sarcastic nearby immediately shouted, "Who do you think you are? We are doing you an honor by scolding you."

"Yes! How can you talk to the Queen? Kneel down quickly and kowtow to apologize to the Queen."

"You're just a peasant. Marquis Wu'an only doted on you on a whim, but you're so ignorant of your own limitations. Do you really think that just because you're pregnant, everything will be alright? Someone like you, who had an affair without a matchmaker, is nothing more than a concubine, someone not worthy of public appearances."

Yu Ruyue was prone to anger when she was pregnant, and now she can't bear it anymore.

She asked loudly, "Empress, are you sure you want to watch them insult me like this?"

The Queen originally thought that a woman like Yu Ruyue, who had never seen the world, would be very easy to control, but now it seems that this bitch has a bad temper...

She thought for a moment, then put on a smile again. "Miss Yu, you must be joking. Everyone is just concerned about you!"

"Someone, come! Please take a seat. Oh, and bring Miss Yu some of the cakes and pastries that the Empress Dowager gifted her! And it's time to change the incense in this room!"

After Yu Ruyue sat down, she clearly felt that the expressions on the faces of those sarcastic people had all turned into gloating.

Especially when the cakes were brought up and the incense was changed, everyone lowered their heads silently, and even the queen raised her hand from time to time to cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief...

It seems that there is something wrong with this fragrance and pastry...

Could this be one of those methods of harming people depicted in palace fighting novels? Eating the cakes alone is fine, and smelling the fragrance alone is fine, but if you eat the cakes and smell the fragrance at the same time, you will be poisoned!?

But why on earth did they go to such great lengths to harm her?!

Yu Ruyue didn’t know, but that didn’t stop her from going crazy.

"Miss Yu! Why don't you eat it? This is a gift from the Empress Dowager to the Empress, and the Empress couldn't bear to eat it!"

"Yes! I'm so envious. We can't even eat such a precious thing!"

Yu Ruyue stood up and looked at those people with a smile, "Really?"

"Is that what you want to eat?"

"In that case! I'll feed you!"
