Chapter 602: Chapter 602 Making Things Difficult
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
However, when the Seventh Prince married his wife, King Rui and Zhou Huaiming had already left for Dongyang Province.
Therefore, during the banquet, King Kang saw that Gu Chengrui was getting increasingly popular and began extending an olive branch to him.
However, it wasn’t working. Instead, he brought up Princess Ping Yang, who had always supported him.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui didn’t take the olive branch and instead laughed with him and said some words of grat.i.tude to Princess Ping Yang.
He started praising Princess Ping Yang, stating she was capable, fair, cared for him, and helped him marry a good wife.
When King Kang saw this, he knew it would not be easy to win Gu Chengrui over quickly. Thus, he then followed suit, praising Princess Ping Yang.
On the female side, Zhou Jiaying saw Zhou Ying glowing radiantly with happiness.
In comparison, His Highness’s att.i.tude toward her only got colder; she was p.i.s.sed.
So, the flames of jealousy grew stronger and stronger.
At this moment, Sun Miaoke suddenly retched, causing everyone to frown.
The Empress Dowager thought of something and exclaimed happily, “Miaoke, are you pregnant?”
Sun Miaoke was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It seemed to be true.
However, even if it were true, it wasn’t appropriate to spread it now, especially in front of the Empress. She could only shake her head and reply, “I think I caught a cold recently.”
The Empress Dowager didn’t ask further after hearing this. Instead, she said, “You’d better be careful. After you return home, find a doctor to prescribe some medicine for you as soon as possible.”
“Yes, Imperial Grandmother. I will remember it.” Sun Miaoke nodded.
However, she still attracted the Empress’s suspicious gaze, which made Sun Miaoke tremble in fear. It seemed that she would have to be more careful in the future.
Zhou Jiaying was delighted by the opportunity. She looked at Zhou Ying and said, “Speaking of pregnancy, Mrs. Gu, you and Lord Gu have been married for more than four years, no? Why hasn’t there been any good news?”
When everyone heard that, they all looked at her.
Right, Zhou Ying had been married for many years but did not have children yet.
Suddenly, everyone started discussing whether she could not give birth.
The Empress looked at Zhou Ying’s bright and tender little face and knew she was living a comfortable life, which made her highly jealous.
Thinking about the relations.h.i.+p between the two parties, since the Emperor did not allow her to touch Gu Chengrui, she could at least touch Zhou Ying.
Thinking of this, she said, “This is a problem. If you can’t give birth, you have to ask your husband to marry a concubine as soon as possible for the sake of having children.”
“How about this? I have a distant niece who happens to be in the capital. Although her family is a little poor, she is delicate and pretty.
“I’ll send her to your residence later to keep you company.”
Zhou Jiaying smiled and didn’t say anything more.
At this time, the Empress Dowager asked worriedly, “Zhou Ying, have you seen a doctor?”
“Empress Dowager, my husband is a doctor, and I’m in good health.
“It was just that there had been constant disasters over the past few years, so we decided to delay having children. He was too busy after coming to the capital, so we have been delaying further.” Zhou Ying turned her head and replied.
“That’s not an excuse. No matter how busy Lord Gu is, he can never be busier than the Emperor.” the Empress quipped in.
“That’s different. No matter how busy the Emperor is, he rarely leaves the palace.
“But my husband mostly lives in his greenhouse. How can it be the same?”
“So, you are rejecting my good intentions.”
“There’s no need for that. We’ll discuss this matter between us, husband and wife.”
“You… Lord Gu is a meritorious minister of our dynasty. I can’t watch him without an heir. I will personally take care of this matter.”
“Empress.” The Empress Dowager coldly shouted..
