Gu Qinghe saw that it said March 22, the 23rd year of Chengwu. Yingchun and Wangchun had no impression of this day, but she knew that it was a scene in her previous life when she returned to Beijing and attended the flower-viewing banquet hosted by the Empress Dowager. Such large peonies could only be grown in the palace's flower room before April.

She smiled nonchalantly and said, "Put it away and put it aside. There's nothing interesting to see." She tilted her wrist outward and the drawing paper fell on the table.

Xiao Jingheng had never painted it in her previous life, and there was no need for her to present it as a treasure in this life. She didn't want it anymore. If the person in the painting wasn't her, she really wanted to burn it.

"No, I think this painting captures the girl's charm." Wangchun carefully put the drawing paper away.

"Listen to me, young lady, and put it away quickly." Yingchun winked at Wangchun, who fell silent. Then she continued, "Young lady, the Qixi Festival is coming in a few days. I wonder what the difference is between the Qixi Festival in the capital and the one in Dengzhou?"

"The customs are probably the same, just more lively." Gu Qinghe guessed. It's a pity that this is the first time in Gu Qinghe's two lives that he has the opportunity to go on a Qixi night tour in the capital.

In her previous life, she didn't feel sorry. After all, the dog prince looked like a human and was still a prince. She thought she was about to reach the peak of her life, with various identities waiting for her, such as Crown Princess, Queen, and Empress Dowager.

Who knew that marrying into the harem would be a big pitfall. Xiao Jingheng was not as eloquent as the previous emperor in the harem. He was like a block of wood who only knew how to act recklessly and didn't like to talk.

I went to my mother every now and then, and after a few years, I got a concubine cousin. I was not allowed to participate in the selection, just for my cousin...

What's more, he came back before he even became the Queen Mother. She wanted to wipe the slate clean and live happily in this life, but the dog prince ended up showing affection to her again?

She didn't want that. After all, there was a concubine mother-in-law in the palace who talked about filial piety every day. When her son was the crown prince, she didn't dare to act like a mother-in-law. Now that her son became the emperor, she seemed to be the queen as well, and she could do whatever she wanted...

For the safety of his biological mother, Xiao Jingheng had better not provoke her again, otherwise, she would have a hard time, and she would not let his mother have a good time, and of course she would not let the dog prince...

Gu Qinghe thought of this and shook his head. How could he have such a broken jar idea?

"Girl, do you want to join in the fun of the Qixi Festival night parade?" Wangchun asked.

"Okay, ask Mother." Gu Qinghe said with a faint smile, "She's already eight months pregnant. Let's buy some small things for her."

*

In the next few days, Gu Qinghe did not see Zhang Wu. She thought that Xiao Jingheng, a man with a very strong self-esteem, must have given up after she had returned two hairpins to him and even written a farewell letter.

Besides, how could an emperor indulge in love?

No, especially for a good emperor like Xiao Jingheng, anyone who may affect the imperial cause must be eliminated.

July 6th

Gu An finished his morning court session, followed by Lu Wangzhou, who had been less common recently. The two of them arrived at the front yard. As the servant served tea, Gu An asked as usual, "Madam, are you all well today?"

When Lu Wangzhou heard Gu An mention Gu Qinghe, although he knew that this was Gu An's habit, his heart still rose to his throat.

"In reply to the master, everything is fine. The young lady was talking to the lady for a long time and was just called away by someone in the old lady's room."

Gu Anqing said "Hmm", "Got it, go down."

"Wangzhou, have some tea." Gu An said with a smile.

"Thank you, teacher. In fact, I am really ashamed of you, your wife, and... the third lady." Lu Wangzhou took two sips of tea before he mustered up the courage to say this.

"I've already apologized, why are you still so upset?" Gu An waved his hand, "After all, it's not a big deal. Your relationship with Qinghe is not complicated to begin with."

"Yes." Lu Wangzhou replied.

"Then I and her..." Lu Wangzhou was interrupted by Gu An before he finished speaking, "It's still the same as before, just like brother and sister, but we have to be careful about the limits."

Lu Wangzhou looked at Gu An with a smile on his face and felt that he was a smiling tiger who loved to hold grudges.

Um, that's not right. Lord Gu is a smiling tiger, so Gu Qinghe is just a little tiger, and a female...

"Yes." Lu Wangzhou replied with another word. As long as the words were not said to be final, it would be fine.

After two cups of tea, Lu Wangzhou stood up to say goodbye. At this time, the servant who had just poured the tea came running over and said, "Sir, please go to the old lady's yard and take a look. The third and second ladies are fighting."

Lu Wangzhou paused and turned to look towards the backyard, but he could see nothing.

Gu An looked at the anxious young man and chuckled, "Wangzhou, you go back first. I won't send you off. But Qinghe has never been a troublemaker since she was young. Of course, she is not afraid of trouble."

Gu An waved his hand and walked quickly to the backyard. Although he spoke to Lu Wangzhou in a nonchalant manner, Ruoxing was a thoughtful child and he was afraid that Qinghe would suffer a loss.

"Master, please walk slower. Our girl knows kung fu and she didn't suffer any loss at all. She held the second girl down." The servant was trotting behind and talking as he chased after her.

Gu An did not stop walking. He was conflicted. He felt sorry for Qinghe because she suffered a loss. He also had to apologize for Qinghe beating his third brother's daughter. After all, he could not sit idle on both sides.

Not necessarily, maybe Ruoxing offended Qinghe...

With this thought in mind, the old father Gu An came to the old lady's yard. There was no one in the yard. Fortunately, the fight probably didn't happen in the yard.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard the crying voice of his third brother's wife, "Second sister-in-law, the daughter you and second brother raised is really powerful. Ruoxing was just playing a joke on her, and she wanted to throw Ruoxing to the ground..."

The Third Lady's words this time were not exaggerated at all. Just now, the Third Lady came to the Second Lady who was talking non-stop, and with her right arm she fell down, then turned her back. The Second Lady screamed, and her mouth was covered...

If the old lady hadn't said something to stop her, the second girl would probably have fallen to the ground.

After Wang said this, she started crying again. Bai just rubbed her belly quietly, "Third sister-in-law, when we talk, how can we only talk about the results without considering the cause?"

"In my opinion, the second young lady must have said something that made Qinghe feel extremely uncomfortable, so she chose a quick way to make her shut up. In the past, you, Ruoxing, said that we Qinghe were country bumpkins, but we didn't take it seriously. This time, she must have said something unpleasant to the ear. Right, Ruoxing?" After Bai finished speaking, she looked at Gu Ruoxing.
