Long Live the Empress

Chapter 240 Gu Ziwei Arrives

Gu Ziwei was pulled up from the couch by Madam Gu, "Mother, I read late yesterday, let me sleep a little longer!"

"What are you reading? Aren't they just those cheap novels? Look at what you look like. Look at others, they know how to gain status for themselves and a future for the family... Why can't you learn from them?" Mrs. Gu looked at the sleepy Gu Ziwei with a look of disappointment, and she was so angry.

"Mother, are you talking about Yue Jinghong? Qi... Didn't mother say a few days ago that if my daughter behaved like that, she would break her legs?"

"..." Madam Gu was choked by Gu Ziwei's words and was speechless for a long time, "Hey, the prince went to Yue Mansion yesterday, so all the officials in the capital went to visit him today..."

"Just go! You just want to curry favor with the Yue family, it's human nature!" Gu Ziwei yawned without any ladylike image, sitting in front of the dressing mirror and letting the maid comb her hair.

"Why don't you understand? They didn't go there by themselves, they all brought their daughters and granddaughters with them! Why? Wasn't it just to meet the prince by chance in Yue Mansion? Now that Yue Jinghong is pregnant and Fan Ronghua is not favored, then there will be no one to serve the prince?"

Gu Ziwei was stunned. "Mother is talking about...they are seducing the prince in the name of visiting?"

"What do you mean by seduction? It's to help the prince relieve his worries! The prince is busy with government affairs every day, and he also has to take care of Yue Jinghong's pregnancy. If someone can help him relieve some of the burden, isn't that a great thing?"

"Mother is right..." Gu Ziwei fell into deep thought. After half an incense stick, she asked the maid to help her dress up and find clothes...

Half an hour later, Madam Gu brought the radiant Gu Ziwei to the gate of Yue Mansion.

Gu Ziwei leaned her head out of the carriage and saw four or five carriages parked in front of her.

"How long do we have to wait? How about coming back tomorrow?" Gu Ziwei said impatiently.

Madam Gu gently grasped Gu Ziwei's hand, "Now we have to be patient and wait slowly! When you can be like her, these people will naturally wait outside our Gu Mansion like this!"

Gu Ziwei nodded heavily and waited patiently and quietly, but from time to time she would pick up the small bronze mirror to look at herself. Even if only a hair was sticking up, Gu Ziwei would press it down...

By the time Madam Gu and Gu Ziwei saw the old lady, it was already the end of the world.

"The old lady is so radiant today~" As soon as Mrs. Gu saw the old lady, she spoke flattering words one after another.

"Isn't it, mother! Look at the jade headpiece on the old lady's head, that is... ice jade, right?" Gu Ziwei received the true teachings from Madam Gu and tried to please the old lady.

The jade headpiece was originally the old lady's treasure. Hearing someone praising her like this, the old lady stroked her hair with pride and said, "Miss Gu has a sharp eye! This was personally given to my eldest granddaughter by the emperor, but she insisted that it looked good on me, so I wore it..."

"The things the emperor gave to Princess Jing'an are naturally excellent!" The old lady said this, just to show Madam Gu that there was a princess in her mansion. Madam Gu understood and praised Yue Jinghao at the right time, "Princess Jing'an is not only beautiful but also talented. I really envy her~ Unlike my family, who only thinks about playing every day!"

In fact, this was also Mrs. Gu's disguised praise for Gu Ziwei. She said she was dissatisfied, but her real intention was to show that Gu Ziwei was innocent and had no scheming!

"I think Miss Gu is really lovely. She will definitely have a great future!" How could the old lady not hear what Mrs. Gu said, so she said a few words in response to Mrs. Gu's words.

Gu Ziwei really couldn't stand their hypocrisy, she just wanted to see the prince as soon as possible!

"Ziwei, didn't you prepare a gift for the second young lady? Send it over quickly!" Madam Gu sent two maids to follow Gu Ziwei to the backyard with gift boxes.
