My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 167 I'm a Woman with Honor

Gu Residence, front courtyard.

Old Yang and Lin Tan'er were both fond of cultivating flowers and plants, so the scenery in the mansion was quite beautiful, adorned with potted greenery.

At this moment, Mu Yuyan had already removed her carefully applied makeup, revealing her natural beauty.

She changed into a white silk robe and took a water pot to water the flowers and plants.

The entertainment of ancient people mainly revolved around flowers, birds, insects, and fish.

Without modern technology, Gu Lan couldn't play video games with her to cheer her up...

He walked into the mansion with a smile and headed straight for her.

"Madam, why are you up so early today?" Gu Lan asked with a smile.

"... " Mu Yuyan turned to glare at him, her exquisitely beautiful face expressing indescribable grievances, making Gu Lan want to laugh.

"What's with that look, Madam?" Gu Lan raised an eyebrow.

"Did someone step on the flowers and upset you? Little Qi or Zhongren? Tell me, I'll go teach them a lesson!"

"..." Mu Yuyan looked at him, feeling inexplicably aggrieved. Her chest surged, but she didn't want to say a word to this guy! Most importantly, she couldn't say...

Was she going to complain that the stinky Mr. Gu had made her wait in vain for half a day?!

"Where did you go so early in the morning?"

Mu Yuyan asked with a hint of reproach in her voice, trying to calm herself down. But inside, she was feeling both aggrieved and angry, her rosy lips pouting uncontrollably.

"I went to report to the Forbidden Army as a military officer. Didn't Liu Yexi tell you?" Gu Lan looked innocent.

"???" Liu Yexi, standing nearby, was dumbfounded!

Seeing Mu Yuyan and Gu Lan glaring at her as if seeking answers, she felt her scalp tingling and hurriedly explained, "Y-yes! Young Master did say that!"

Then, seeing Mu Yuyan's phoenix eyes narrow, Liu Yexi felt a chill run down her spine.

Inwardly, she sighed. She had to smooth things over and inquire on Mu Yuyan's behalf.

She hesitated for a moment before looking at Gu Lan and asking, "But... Young Master, does it take such a long time for you to enter the palace?"

"I didn't go to the palace!" Gu Lan shrugged innocently.

"I thought it was too early for Mu Yuyan to be awake, so I decided to take a position at the Ministry of Personnel!"

"..." Mu Yuyan's eyes widened.

The truth was out. But in a way, it was a blessing in disguise.

The Queen indeed hadn't woken up yet...

Liu Yexi's mouth twitched in amusement.

"However, after reporting in, I ran into Master Zhang on the way and he dragged me to have tea and chat for a long time, so I came back late," Gu Lan explained, knowing that simply mentioning the Ministry of Personnel wouldn't suffice.

He decided to come up with a new excuse!

"..." Mu Yuyan's delicate hand tightly gripped the water pot, feeling that the plants were about to drown.

"Hmph! Yexi, you water them," Mu Yuyan snorted, handing the water pot to the maid, swaying her hips as she walked into the house in a huff.

"This... Young Master, Madam is pregnant, so it's normal for her to be a little irritable," Liu Yexi hurriedly explained.

"I understand, I understand!" Gu Lan smiled at her, thinking to himself, "Yexi, we've been together for so long, and I didn't realize you're an actress too!"

"I'll go and coax Madam," Gu Lan said.

"Okay! Hurry, Young Master!" Liu Yexi replied.

...

Gu Lan gently pushed open the door to the bedroom.

Mu Yuyan was lying on the bed, flipping through the book of words Gu Lan had written for her. Gu Lan's penmanship was excellent, and the things he wrote were interesting even to her, who had been well-educated since childhood.

Whenever she was unhappy, she would take it out and read it.

But now!

Mu Yuyan felt more and more irritated as she read.

She couldn't tell if it was because of the shame of everyone in the palace knowing about this matter or the disappointment of waiting for him for so long...

Now it wasn't her reading the book of words, but the book of words watching her.

Sensing Gu Lan entering the room, she turned over, facing the wall, tightly closing her phoenix eyes, her long and curled eyelashes trembling slightly, showing a sulking appearance.

Gu Lan had expected this scene.

He shamelessly approached from behind.

Feeling Gu Lan's familiar breath, warmth, and the sensation of his body pressing against hers...

Mu Yuyan couldn't help but open her eyes, her pretty face blushing uncontrollably.

"Madam seems quite unusual today. Who made you unhappy?" Gu Lan asked with a smile.

"..." Mu Yuyan was angry but didn't want to bite him. She wanted to say it's you!

"I'm not feeling well today," she said, trying to sound calm, but inside, she felt a mix of embarrassment and anger, her delicate lips pouting.

"Where does it hurt? Let me check for you," Gu Lan said, looking puzzled but empathetic.

Mu Yuyan pressed his hand down, but with his strength and high cultivation level, Mu Yuyan couldn't stop him.

Mu Yuyan closed her eyes again, resigned to her fate. This guy...

Seeing Madam's earlobes turn crystal clear and tender, Gu Lan knew that after delivering the blow, it was time to give her some sweetness.

So.

He paused for a moment and casually said, "By the way, when I came back today, I found an ancient teleportation array in the forest to the west of the city. It seems to be in good condition, and it seems like it can directly reach the Desert North."

"Huh...?" Mu Yuyan suddenly opened her eyes, her expression silent but clearly shocked!

Today, while handling state affairs in the palace, Mu Yuyan was most worried about the issue of the expedition to the Blissful Immortal Palace!

Mu Yuyan wanted to lead the expedition herself, and she wasn't worried about the military strength. But...

The round trip was tens of thousands of miles away, and the specific location was uncertain. The expeditionary army simply couldn't move!

And such a distant journey...

Provisions were also a big problem!

The difficulties of marching were numerous...

But since the Blissful Immortal Palace in the capital of Jing Nation was acting so recklessly, Mu Yuyan didn't want to give up!

This teleportation array was the key to solving all the problems!

Mu Yuyan was excited inside but didn't know how to broach the subject...

Because of being so upset by the stinky Mr. Gu earlier, she could only hesitate and try to find a way to forgive him first...

Mu Yuyan's cheeks turned slightly red, and she seemed hesitant to speak.

However!

At this moment,

Gu Lan, who knew her inside out, was struck with a critical hit!

"But according to what I know, it seems that our current Emperor is also worried about the previous rapist case... Now that I've become a military officer, I'll send this news to Mu Yuyan tomorrow and let the court handle it!" Gu Lan said with a smile, feeling the body in his arms tremble.

Mu Yuyan: ?(>?<*)

It's not easy!

The stinky Mr. Gu finally came to his senses. Today's face wasn't lost in vain. My wifely skills really worked!

Of course.

She wouldn't know that, at this moment, behind her, Gu Lan's lips were also curled upwards.

Hmph!

So, what if Madam is the aloof Mu Yuyan? Under my combination of hitting and sweetening tactics, she'll still become a well-behaved little wife!
