The door opened as soon as it was knocked, and Gu Beihuai walked in with ease.

As soon as he entered the room, he was shocked by the scene in the room and frowned.

In the smoke, a man in a royal blue robe with a crane pattern was leaning on the couch. His clothes were slightly open, revealing his wheat-colored chest.

He spun the glass cup gently, with a hint of drunkenness in his laziness and a very romantic demeanor.

Not to mention the room full of musicians and dancers, all of whom were dressed in flowing dresses and had beautiful looks. If you didn't know better, you would think you had entered a fairyland.

"Uncle Emperor."

Gu Beihuai frowned and bowed.

"Hmm?" Gu Wenyu, who was lying on the couch, raised his eyelids lazily. When he saw Gu Beihuai, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Xiao Huai'er is here? Come and sit down, let's enjoy it together."

Gu Wenyu was the emperor's youngest brother, and was named Prince Yu. He spent his days idling and living a life of debauchery, even after getting married. The emperor knew that he had no interest in the throne and would not participate in politics, so he was not afraid of him.

He is only two years older than Gu Beihuai, but he always likes to tease him by acting like an elder.

As expected, upon hearing that awkward name, Gu Beihuai frowned even more.

"Don't call me Xiao Huai'er anymore."

Gu Wenyu raised his eyebrows and smiled, his expression teasing.

"Why, is there someone else who calls you by that name? What are you afraid of? After all, I watched you grow up, and I even held you in my arms when you were a child."

Gu Beihuai took a deep breath and decided not to waste any more words with him.

Although the two seem to have little in common, they are actually closely connected in private. No one knows about their relationship except their close confidants.

"I came here today because I have something important to ask you."

"Oh, really?" Gu Wenyu still looked nonchalant, and even pushed the plate of food in front of him towards him, "Sit down and eat while we talk."

Seeing the plate of food, Gu Beihuai frowned even more.

He was a little confused. Why would a prince like to eat pig heads?

Gu Wenyu greeted him nonchalantly and enthusiastically, "I braised this myself, feel free to eat it. Life is short, so enjoy it while you can."

Gu Beihuai didn't pick up his chopsticks. He felt that he was not worthy of such joy, so he could only try to bring the topic back.

"I came here today to ask you something about Aunt Huang..."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Wenyu and the others suddenly straightened up with a look of alertness on their faces.

"She's following me?"

Gu Beihuai was somewhat helpless, "No."

Although Gu Wenyu is a playboy, he also has a soft spot. His wife, Princess Yu, Qiu Ying, is the daughter of a general. She is heroic and brave, and is extremely tough towards Gu Wenyu.

"That's good." Gu Wenyu lay back down peacefully, and said to himself, "I finally got rid of that tigress and escaped freely. Don't scare me."

"..."

"I heard that the Queen's aunt is pregnant, and you come out to drink and have fun like this. Aren't you afraid that she will really come looking for you?"

Gu Wenyu chuckled and drank the wine very comfortably.

"Why are you panicking? It's not a big deal. I said I came to the capital to find Qianshan Snow Lotus for her to nurture her baby. She's pregnant and she can't come here."

Considering Gu Wenyu's indifferent personality, Gu Beihuai felt that asking him for advice was not a wise choice.

So he stood up and said, "Uncle, drink slowly. Goodbye."

"Hey, don't go. You haven't told me what you want to learn from me yet. Did you have a quarrel with your Princess Jiaojiao and come to me to learn from me?"

He patted his chest and said proudly, "When was your aunt angry that I didn't coax her? Her hands and feet were swollen because of pregnancy, and I personally massaged her every night. I sent all kinds of expensive supplements to her yard for free, and arranged all kinds of rare gadgets for her... In short, you have to control a woman's body and mind, don't you understand?"

Gu Beihuai's brows gradually relaxed. Yes, before he even asked, Gu Wenyu had already boasted about everything.

Gu Wenyu spoke proudly, and then waved his hand and said, "Use this experience. You're welcome. After all, I've eaten more rice than you've eaten salt."

"Thank you very much, uncle."

After Gu Beihuai left, Gu Wenyu continued drinking, completely unaware that the tigress he was talking about had already arrived in the capital.

-

When Shen Qingyan woke up, she didn't see Gu Beihuai by her side, and she felt a little empty.

Fortunately, Qingmei's peach blossom cake was ready. It was sweet, soft and fragrant, and actually suited her taste very well.

She ate several pieces in one go before she stopped.

Just as she was about to go for a stroll in the garden, a servant came to report that Helan Huayin was here to visit.

Shen Qingyan was not surprised. The fact that Helan Huayin came to her so quickly showed that things were already working out.

"Shen Yunjiao and Shen Zhidie have both taken the bait." Helan Huayin's tone was faintly filled with excitement and anticipation, "We're just waiting for them to start fighting among themselves."

Shen Qingyan did not ask her how she did it, but praised her sincerely: "Princess Huayin is worthy of being the most favored princess of Zhanri Kingdom. She is indeed capable."

If she wants Helan Huayin to be completely used by her, she doesn't necessarily have to use and order him around. Appropriate praise will make her feel more accomplished and naturally make her more loyal to her.

As expected, Helan Huayin's expression became a little more arrogant and his back straightened.

"To deal with these two small fish and shrimps, this princess does not need to spend too much effort. Of course, this princess has plenty of strength and means, even if it is to make their entire Shen Mansion fall into hell, it is not a problem."

What Shen Qingyan wants is her extraordinary self-confidence.

"Princess, you are very courageous. I guess I will have to trouble you a lot in the future."

The implication is that I can't do it, but you did it. You are so awesome. I will rely on you in the future.

At least that’s how Helan Huayin understood it.

After saying this, Helan Huayin left in a hurry again, as if he was even more motivated.

Shen Qingyan stroked her belly, which had not yet bulged, with an indifferent expression. If it was not necessary, she would not do it herself in the future.

She turned to look at Zhiyu and gave the order coldly.

"Keep an eye on Helan Huayin. This is your second priority."

Zhiyu naturally remembered what he had promised Shen Qingyan yesterday, and immediately followed Helan Huayin quietly.

After strolling in the garden for a while, Shen Qingyan felt much more relaxed and asked about Gu Beihuai's whereabouts.

But the answer he got was that he had left the house and no one knew where he had gone.

Since she was bored, Shen Qingyan went to the martial arts training ground in the mansion.

The soldiers were still training as usual, and they saluted when they saw Shen Qingyan.

Seeing this, Qingmei and Zhiqing immediately advised: "Princess, you are pregnant, you can't practice sword anymore."

"Who said I want to practice sword?" Shen Qingyan smiled and picked up a soft whip. "Swords have no eyes, this soft whip is always safer."

"That won't work either." Qingmei looked worried, "This whip is also very dangerous, what if..."

She didn't dare to say anything unlucky.

Shen Qingyan knew her worries and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. I can't just sit there motionless. I can still use this whip."

She swung the whip to feel it, and finding it acceptable, she began to use it with confidence.

Of course, for the sake of the baby in her belly, she didn't do anything too strenuous, she just practiced to get a feel for it.

But just as she was practicing casually, she suddenly felt a fierce gust of wind coming quickly from behind her.
