My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 45: Pampered Consort Gu Yan Ting



Chapter 45: Pampered Consort Gu Yan Ting

Lou Mu Yan left the main hall with the Empress and the Spiritual Herbs she plundered, while Lou Mu Bai was left behind to speak to the three in secret.

Aunt, is Gu Yan Rans elder sister still targeting you? Lou Mu Yan asked as she walked, hugging Lou Mo Zis arm.

Lou Mo Zis lips curled up with a sneer: So what if shes targeting me? Shes just a jester.

She had never highly regarded Gu Yan Ting. From the very beginning, all she cared about was Yun Tian Chens attitude. But the results made her disappointed time and again.

Lou Mu Yan caught the sadness in her aunts eyes, but she was also extremely powerless. Strength could be improved, one could fight in an attempt to obtain what one couldnt, but feelings really werent something that allowed other people to meddle with.

Does aunt want to improve your strength? Lou Mu Yan pondered a littlemaybe doing other things to pass the time could make her aunt a bit happier.

Lou Mo Zis heart warmed, and a charming smile bloomed on her gorgeous face: Im already past the age of rushing about to cultivate. Im really not keen on the matters of cultivation.

She also knew Lou Mu Yans thoughts, but she really didnt have much talent on the path of cultivation, and had stayed at Advanced-Phase Great Sword Master for many years already. Although advancing to the Sword Spirit Stage was only a matter of time for her, but if she wanted to advance to a Sword King, it was almost impossible.

Then what does aunt like? Alchemy? Smithing? Talismans? Or maybe Arrays? Lou Mu Yan also heard that her aunt hadnt been keen on cultivation since she was a child, and these things couldnt be forced, so she made a few other suggestions. Having things to do was always better.

Alchemy, Smithing and Talisman making all required talent, and I dont have any of that. Lou Mo Zi smiled and shook her head, but when she mentioned the last item, there was a sense of regret in her voice: Ive studied the basics of Arrays, but its just that there are too few ancient records, so even if I wanted to continue researching, I dont really have a choice.

She wasnt keen on cultivation since she was a child, but she liked to study on the Path of the Arrays, but it was a pity that in the end it she was unskilled at it.

As she thought more and more, Lou Mo Zis eyes darkened. Now that her niece mentioned it, she realised that she had really wasted her time on unnecessary conflicts over the years.

Maybe Yaner was right. She should find something she liked to do. Her heart couldnt keep revolving around Yun Tian Chenshe was really tired.

If aunt likes Arrays, then thats easy. I just read some ancient records regarding Arrays, and I still remember them. Ill write it down when I return home and send it to you.

Upon seeing Lou Mu Yans black eyes shining as bright as stars, Lou Mo Zis heart melted in a complete mess. She smiled and nodded, Sure!

After the two talked for a little while, they saw a beautiful woman in a pink dress walk towards them with several maidservants.

Lou Mo Zis eyes grew cold, turned her head to Lou Mu Yan and said: Later, if she provokes us, you dont have to be considerate. Aunt will take care of things if anything happens.

She couldnt bear Lou Mu Yan receiving any grievances and didnt want the niece she pampered like her own daughter to change her personality because of her. So what if she was arrogant and tyrannical? As long as Yaner was happy.

Sure! Lou Mu Yan naturally took the Empresss hand and walked forward together.

Gu Yan Ting was indeed a beauty. Different from her aunts glamour and magnanimity, she bore a kind of delicate and demure beauty that men preferred more.

In her memory, every time Gu Yan Ting saw Lou Mu Yan in the past, she would ridicule and provoke, specifically targeting her wounds. Her aunt also had a maidservant slap Gu Yan Tings face because of this. In the end, the issue was taken to the Emperor, and because of this, the Emperor and Empresss feelings also grew colder.

All in all, when Lou Mu Yan exchanged moves1 with the Gu Clans sisters she was always defeated. The two constantly faked being weak and aloof, but Gu Yan Tings methods were more skilful.

This servant consort greets Empress. Once they were face-to-face, Gu Yan Ting stepped out first and greeted Lou Mo Zi respectfully, her voice soft and gentle.

Lou Mu Yan furrowed her browsshe hated this sort of women that simply wasnt gentle act delicate or demure. Especially the deliberate soft and sugary voice that made her very disgusted.

Stand. The smile on Lou Mo Zis face had long disappeared, and she nodded coldly.

Gu Yan Ting stood and looked at Lou Mu Yan with a smile, greeting: Young Miss Lou.

Lou Mu Yan didnt perform a formal greeting towards Imperial Noble Consort Gu, and her voice was indifferent, Imperial Noble Consort Gu.

Gu Yan Ting was surprised. Today, these two people gave her a different feeling from the usual.

Young Miss Lou didnt go see Sir Chi today? I heard from Yan Ran that he was accidentally injured while cultivating. Gu Yan Ting looked at Lou Mu Yan with a smile. The meaning behind her words were obviousthe first person to go accompany Chi Yi Xuan when he was injured was her younger sister.

Its not like Im the concubine the Chi Clan set, what does Chi Yi Xuan being injured or not have to do with me? Why should I go visit him? Lou Mu Yan looked at Gu Yan Ting with a smile that wasnt quite a smile.

Gu Yan Tings expressions stiffened. She didnt expect that Lou Mu Yan, who would immediately change the moment Chi Yi Xuan was spoken of, could be so indifferent today. Now that she mentioned her younger sister being a concubine, anger rose.

Humph, since I cant provoke Lou Mu Yan today, its still good to provoke the Empress.

Elder sister2, are you going to enjoy the flowers in the Southern Park with Young Miss Lou? Gu Yan Ting covered half her face with a fan and pretended to be shy, This servant consort commented on how the peonies in the Southern Park were blooming so beautifully a couple of days ago, and then Emperor ordered people to move the peonies in the Southern Park to this servant consorts courtyard. Now there are no flowers in the Southern Park to view, so elder sister does not need to go for nothing.

Lou Mu Yan sneered at such direct flaunting, then turned her head and asked Lou Mo Zi: Aunt, since when did you have a younger sister, why dont I know?

Imperial Noble Consort Gu, this Empress3 only has an elder brother and a younger brother, but no younger sisters. Its best that you do not randomly seek connections. Lou Mo Zi continued on from Lou Mu Yans words, but today she really wasnt in the mood to deal with Gu Yan Ting in front of her niece, This Empress still has something to do, you may withdraw now.

Gu Yan Tings face changed, her white teeth bit her pink lips and suppressed the secret hatred in her heart. Lou Mo Zi wouldnt be complacent for long now, so she could bear her for the time being.

She just didnt believe that, after hearing that the Emperor dug up the peonies that Lou Mo Zi personally planted, this woman wouldnt feel unhappy.

Yes. This servant consort withdraws. There was a hint of complacency in her voice.

After Gu Yan Ting finished speaking, she took the maidservants past Lou Mu Yan and Lou Mo Zi, leaving the back garden in lotus-like steps4.

But the moment they passed, Lou Mu Yan smelled a very light sweet scent from Gu Yan Ting. She narrowed her eyesthere was a problem with this woman.

After a while, she moved her gaze away from Gu Yan Rans back, and when she raised her eyes, she caught a very light sadness in her aunts eyes.

Lou Mo Zi appeared indifferent to the situation of the Southern Park on the surface, but she still felt extremely uncomfortable inside. Every single peony there was planted by her own hands, yet who wouldve thought that that man would let people dig it up and gift it to Gu Yan Ting. Was he also digging her heart5?

Aunt, sometimes what you see and hear is not necessarily the truth. Lou Mu Yan couldnt help but remind.

Lou Mo Zi suppressed the sadness in her eyes. She didnt want to mention anything regarding that man anymore, so she changed the subject, Yaner, you entered the palace so early in the morning, you must be hungry now, right? Shall we return to my resting quarters and eat?

Sure! Lou Mu Yan didnt mention anymore. She only had a suspicion in her heart, so it was best to verify it with a little investigation, then speak of it.
