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

Chapter 355 The melon is really explosive

"I understand. Go away." Xie Qingzhi waved his hand in boredom and asked Cheng Song to leave.

"I'm afraid my elder sister can't drink this medicinal chicken soup, but I've asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some small pear soup for everyone. It's good to drink more pear soup in this season. It can not only reduce internal heat, but also prevent coughs. Qiutou, take someone to the kitchen and bring this small pear soup over." Gu Jianchu hurried out to help.

"The Queen is really thoughtful." Xie Qingzhi praised casually.

Xie Qingrou drank the pear soup that Qiu Tao brought over while teasingly saying, "Xie Qingzhi, your taste in choosing men is not good either. As soon as I returned to Beijing, I heard everywhere that you were deceived and divorced by that Li Shicheng. For a woman, he even drugged your medicine."

Xie Qingzhi hated it most when people mentioned Li Shicheng. She immediately put down the pear soup in her hand and slapped the table. "Xie Qingrou, please stop bringing up irrelevant issues. If you mention Li Shicheng in front of me again, I will definitely not forgive you."

Xie Qingrou was not at all flustered by Xie Qingzhi's anger. "Hey, you are so narrow-minded. You allow yourself to make mistakes but don't allow others to mention it. This is really a bit angry and shameful. You have no tolerance at all. It's like when I was a child, I saw that the daughter of the Li family had a little rabbit that looked exactly like mine, so I threw my rabbit into the imperial kitchen to be braised rabbit."

"I remember that you broke a glass cup that Princess Cheng loved very much. You didn't dare admit it, so you put the blame on the Crown Prince. You also caused the Crown Prince to be scolded by King Cheng for no reason. The Crown Prince almost hated King Cheng at the time and thought that King Cheng was sick. To get revenge on King Cheng, he caused him to fall off his horse, causing him to rest for nearly a month."

Both the eldest lady and Mrs. Gu had heard about this matter, but they did not expect that the story behind it was like this. The culprit turned out to be the young lady Xie Qingzhi.

Gu Jianchu also got to know this melon through the system, but the system did not tell her that the real murderer of her mother was Xie Qingzhi.

Xie Qingzhi sat back down slowly after becoming angry and embarrassed. Didn't he like to bring up things that were not related to the topic?

As if she didn't know Xie Qingrou's black material, "I am a bad person, and you think you are a good person. Your uncle probably still doesn't know how the concubine he liked disappeared."

[What concubine?]

[These two are indeed enemies, and the gossip they have is really explosive.]

[But, Tongzi, what's the matter with Minister Qian's concubine?]

Minister Qian's mansion had a beautiful concubine. Originally a prostitute, she caught the Emperor's eye. Being a clever woman, she seized this opportunity and asked him to redeem her. She brought him home to become his concubine. She constantly seduced Emperor Qian into visiting her, while never once visiting his wife. Over time, the wife began to resent both the concubine and Emperor Qian.

One day, Xie Qingrou went to deliver cakes to her uncle on behalf of Concubine Qian. Unexpectedly, her uncle wasn't home, only her aunt was. Using Xie Qingrou's hand, her aunt took the beautiful concubine out of Minister Qian's residence. Xie Qingrou then abandoned the beautiful concubine on the farm to fend for herself. When Minister Qian returned home and discovered the concubine was missing, he started a fuss. Later, his wife claimed that Xie Qingrou had spotted her and took her away. The uncle had little to say, so he could only swallow his anger. However, Xie Qingzhi happened to witness this incident.

Compared to what Xie Qingrou did, this incident seemed much better. At least it didn't cause any harm, and no one got hurt.

Xie Qingzhi: ...

That's better than her. Gu Jianchu is not fair at all.

Xie Qingrou stroked the teacup with her fingers and said, "That concubine is just a vixen. I have solved a problem for my uncle. How can I compare her with you?"

"Prince Cheng has been flirting with decent women outside all day long. He deserves it for having his leg broken by the prince. I am making him suffer the consequences." Xie Qingzhi immediately retorted.

I'd forgotten that Prince Cheng was a philanderer. Besides the princess, he had numerous concubines in his mansion, and he would often flirt with decent women. As long as he took a fancy to me, he would abduct me and keep me as a concubine. This caused many people great suffering. Even when we complained, the late emperor turned a blind eye to Prince Cheng. It was only after Xie Ci'an ascended the throne that Prince Cheng was executed, freeing those poor women in Prince Cheng's mansion.

Xie Ci'an ascended the throne, and the situation was turbulent. Prince Cheng also abducted the daughter of a minor official. The minor official was also a hot-tempered person and reported this directly to my father. After all, since they were in the capital at the time, my father, as the emperor's son-in-law, was the only person they could complain to. My father certainly lived up to my father's expectations and reported this to the emperor. The emperor was just worried about making an example of someone, and so Prince Cheng became the victim of this act of violence.

Gu Jianchu felt a headache listening to the two people arguing.

Raising his hand, he gently pinched his swollen brows, his gaze returning to the two of them. "Since today is my sister's welcoming banquet, could you please stop arguing for my sake, my sister and my eldest sister? If you continue to quarrel like this, your nephew will really be unable to bear it."

Gu Jianchu said this while stroking her belly and looking at the two of them with a wronged look.

The two people who were originally arguing lost the desire to continue arguing when they saw Gu Jianchu's unhappy face. "It's all your fault. You even disturbed my eldest nephew."

"Can you blame me? It was you who started making a fuss first. But since this is the Queen's first pregnancy, you still have to be extra careful and not let the child hear those dirty words. It's not good for the child's health." Xie Qingrou stroked Gu Jianchu's belly with a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

Gu Jianchu knew that Xie Qingrou was thinking about her short-lived child again. Gu Jianchu naturally placed his fingers on Xie Qingrou's hand and said, "Sister, people move forward. Only by looking forward can we forget the mess in the past and move on with our lives."

"Sister, do you want to find two young men to relieve your boredom? I know where the best young men are." Gu Jianchu tried to ease the conflict between the two enemies, but their quarrels were really annoying.

Xie Qingzhi quickly distanced herself from the matter, "Empress, I've been treating you well, so please don't say anything nonsense. I don't know any good young men. My relationship with Dean Jiang has just made some progress, so please don't break it up with just a few words."

Gu Jianchu stared at Xie Qingzhi in surprise.

I didn't know that Xie Qingzhi would actually restrain himself sometimes.

It is true that there is always something better than something else when it comes to tofu dipped in brine.
