Oh my god, can you play like this?

Chapter 215: Not Kneeling Before the Emperor

When has the lady ever seen someone like Gu Lanzhi who would complain at the slightest disagreement? Aren't we all testing each other?

Not to mention this lady, no one present has ever seen her before!

Why doesn't the queen play by the rules?

Not only does he speak bluntly, he also speaks directly and exposes the truth.

If this were to reach the ears of His Majesty, their entire family would not be worthy of being killed by His Majesty.

During this period of time, all the court officials have experienced what kind of monarch His Majesty is, and have also disclosed this to their families so that they will not speak carelessly when entering the palace in the future.

But no one has told them that the Queen is the same as His Majesty!

If His Majesty really knew about this, wouldn't everything be over?

The lady's hands that were holding Feng Ran's arm were shaking. She turned to look at the Queen with a pale face, and knelt down with a plop.

"Please forgive me, Queen. Please forgive me, I really didn't mean that. It was just a slip of the tongue..."

"You didn't say it by mistake, that's what you thought in your heart.

I know that you women are all like this. You can't say nice things properly, and you have to go around in circles before you can say them.

Although I am capable of bearing children, I am not a woman, so I am annoyed by your beating around the bush.

Also, as soon as you entered the palace, you all started to test me. I will explain everything to you clearly here.

You make all the women in your family dress up beautifully, isn't it just to seduce His Majesty?

Your husband doesn't dare to talk to His Majesty about the selection of concubines, so you come to me to seek attention. Do you think I'm easy to talk to?

Haha... then you are wrong.

But I will not stop you from having these little thoughts. If any of you can catch His Majesty's eye, I will give you the position of Queen. It all depends on your respective abilities.

But...if you anger His Majesty, you will be able to bear the consequences yourself."

After Gu Lanzhi finished speaking, he looked around at the people below, smiled coldly again, and stopped talking.

Mrs. Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, was covered in cold sweat. The Queen did not let her stand up, and she did not dare to stand up on her own, so she could only kneel there.

The women present looked at each other and made eye contact with each other. The hall was surprisingly quiet for a while.

Gu Lanzhi lowered his head and teased his son in his arms. The eldest lady saw that the lesson had been given and Gu Lanzhi had said everything that needed to be said. It would not be good for the situation to remain so tense.

The eldest lady stood up and walked in front of Gu Lanzhi, reached out and took the little prince in her arms, walked back to her seat and played with the child with Gu Nanwan.

Gu Lanzhi understood what the eldest lady meant. The kneeling Madam Zhang did not really offend Gu Lanzhi after all, so Gu Lanzhi waved at Feng Ran.

Feng Ran walked back to Gu Lanzhi.

"Okay, Madam Zhang, get up."

"Thank you, Queen. Thank you, Queen."

Madam Zhang's maid hurried forward and helped Madam Zhang to stand up, and then she obediently sat back in her previous seat.

After this incident, none of the women in the palace dared to test Gu Lanzhi or say anything behind his words.

The atmosphere is better than before.

Gu Lanzhi was really impatient to deal with these women, so he found an excuse and took the eldest lady and Gu Nanwan into the second courtyard.

The eldest lady and Gu Nanwan often came to the palace to visit Gu Lanzhi, and they already knew the wonders of the second courtyard.

When they first saw these magical objects, they were very surprised.

Gu Lanzhi originally wanted to use foreigners to fool the eldest lady and the others, but Li Beichen told Gu Lanzhi that, let alone Dongshun Kingdom, the other three countries had never seen the so-called foreigners.

Gu Lanzhi had no choice but to give up this idea, and finally told the Madam and the others that these things were obtained by His Majesty.

As for how His Majesty got it, the Madam and the others did not dare to ask too much.

"Lanzhi, ladies of noble birth have their own way of using it. If used properly, it can have unexpected and miraculous effects."

The eldest lady handed the little prince to Gu Nanwan's arms and said to Gu Lanzhi with a serious expression.

Gu Lanzhi nodded. He understood what the eldest lady meant.

“Auntie, they are certainly useful, but I have to let them know my temper.

Otherwise, every time they see me, they still have to beat around the bush like this, which makes me uncomfortable.

It would be better to let them all know that I don’t like that, and just tell them directly if there is anything in the future.

This way they save effort and I save worry.

As for the usefulness you mentioned, they will only be useful when I need them.

Don't worry, I know everything."

The eldest lady nodded with satisfaction and went back to playing with the prince.

Everything that happened in Fengqi Palace reached Li Beichen's ears word for word.

This was the first time that Gu Lanzhi met these women as the queen, and Li Beichen knew it would not go smoothly.

Now that he heard Gu Lanzhi's prank, Li Beichen smiled faintly and felt relieved.

Let everyone know Gu Lanzhi's temper, and there will be fewer people who are blind in the future.

As for Mrs. Zhang, Li Beichen glanced at Lord Zhang standing beside him but didn't say anything.

Since the Queen didn't ask anyone to talk about this matter, Li Beichen pretended not to know.

The whole day was bustling. When Gu Lanzhi finally made it to the palace banquet, he couldn't wait to carry his son and walk out of Fengqi Palace. The eldest lady and others followed Gu Lanzhi and walked towards the palace where the banquet was held.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of Fengqi Palace, Li Beichen's sedan chair arrived at the gate.

Everyone saluted Li Beichen, including Gu Lanzhi of course.

Li Beichen got off the sedan chair and quickly helped Gu Lanzhi up, "Didn't I tell you that the Queen doesn't need to perform formalities when she sees me?"

Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly. When did he say this?

Gu Lanzhi never saluted Li Beichen in normal times. He had no concept of the need to salute.

But Gu Lanzhi understood that Li Beichen was speaking to the ladies behind him.

Li Beichen wanted to tell everyone clearly that the Queen did not need to be polite.

This once again made everyone realize the Queen's position in His Majesty's heart.

Not kneeling when meeting the emperor is an honor not afforded to all queens. His Majesty said this openly to everyone, which was enough to show that the queen was extraordinary.

"Get up." Li Beichen said calmly to the people kneeling on the ground.

Then he reached out and held the little prince, helped Gu Lanzhi onto the imperial sedan chair first, and then he sat on it himself.

Riding in the same chariot, the emperor's chariot, again surprised the ladies.

Gu Lanzhi and Li Beichen ignored the women, but just after the imperial carriage had taken a few steps, a cry of "Ouch" was heard by everyone.
