Chapter 317 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Sixty-six)

It is already deep winter, and the first snow had already covered the red walls and black tiles a few days ago, but today is a rare sunny day.

The gentle sun shone on everything. Gu Xiaoyu squinted her eyes and smiled, "The sun is not glaring today. It feels warm on my body. The breeze is blowing. It's very pleasant. It's quite suitable for traveling."

Cui Li: "Sister Gu is right. Today is a good day to go out for a walk. Cuiyun, go get ready. I want to go out for a walk."

"Master, are you leaving Chengqian Palace? Do you want to inform His Majesty?"

Cui Li: "Why notify him? Go get ready. You haven't been out for so long, your bones are about to fall apart."

Cuiyun was frightened by her master's resolute attitude. When she walked out of the palace, she looked at Gu Chongyi with pleading eyes, hoping that Gu Chongyi could persuade her master.

Gu Xiaoyu walked from the window to the bed, took a look at Cui Li's belly, which was barely bulging under her loose clothes, and quickly advised, "Sister Cui, you've finally managed to get pregnant, so it's best not to go out. How about I play chess with you? We haven't played chess in a long time."

Cui Li thought of Gu Xiaoyu's chess skills. Well, her chess character was not good. She always regretted her moves after three moves.

Cui Li: "Forget it, you don't know what 'no regrets after making a move' means, and your chess skills are completely unrelated to excellence. Playing chess with you makes me exhausted."

Gu Xiaoyu smiled shyly. Hehe, she seemed to really like regretting her moves. Her former close friends didn't like playing chess with her, saying she was a bad chess player. After entering the palace, only Sister Cui was willing to play chess with her.

"How about Sister Cui paint a picture for me? Sister Cui is a great painter, and she will definitely make me look like a fairy."

Cui Li was at a loss for words. It turned out that she had invited Gu Xiaoyu to come and play, and she had to paint for her herself.

Cui Li: "You have a nice idea. Okay, I'll go change my clothes and we'll go out for a walk. There's a bamboo forest to the west. It's quiet and peaceful, and there's a small pavilion. Let's go sit there."

"Sister Cui, are you really going out? Okay, then I'll wait for you here."

Cui Li smiled and went into the inner room.

Gu Xiaoyu was drinking tea while her maid Douzhi stood behind her.

Seeing that no one was watching over them, Douzhi whispered, "Chongyi, the Imperial Concubine is actually three months pregnant. I think you might be the first concubine to know about this. The Empress might not even know. The Imperial Concubine is leaving the palace now. If something happens, you might be implicated!"

"Hush, don't talk nonsense. The Bamboo Forest Garden in the west is far from the Imperial Garden, so you shouldn't run into other concubines. Don't be such a pessimist."

Douzhi immediately covered his mouth, blinked his eyes, and stopped talking.

When Gu Xiaoyu saw her maid's rich expression, she burst out laughing and almost choked on her tea.

At this time, the Imperial Garden was very lively. Not only Ji Wei was there, but also Ji Mingyue, Ma Chongyuan, Zhou Cairen, and two selected concubines.

The two concubines stood in the sun, heads bowed, trying to minimize their presence. Consort Zhou sat in a corner, a smile on her face, listening to the others speak without saying a word herself.

Ma Chongyuan was flattering Ji Wei who was at the top of the group, and occasionally chatted with Ji Mingyue, but Ji Mingyue ignored her, which made Ma Chongyuan feel a little dissatisfied.

He praised Ji Wei implicitly and belittled Ji Mingyue, but Ji Mingyue belittled him in the same way.

"Ming Xiurong really has a sharp tongue. If she had been so good at speaking in front of His Majesty when she first came to the Liang Palace, she might not be just Xiurong now. Alas, she wouldn't have angered His Majesty and now she is relegated to the position of a concubine."

Ji Mingyue had a cold face. If Ma Chongyuan knew what happened on the way to the marriage, she would definitely ridicule her even more.

"No one can compare to Ma Chongyuan. No one can match her ability to gossip."

"you!"

Ma Chongyuan put down the teacup in her hand and glared at Ji Mingyue fiercely.

Ji Wei smiled on the side, occasionally speaking gently to persuade the two.

The situation in the Imperial Garden was tense, and Xiangxiu was not having a good time at the gate of Kunning Palace either.

She stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings to Court Judge Qiao. I wonder what brings you to Kunning Palace?"

Qiao Zhi: "I have come here by order of His Majesty to see the Empress. Please, Miss Xiangxiu, please pass on the message."

Qiao Zhi's voice still had the crispness of a young man, but Xiangxiu did not dare to underestimate this young man who had become a judge at such a young age.
