My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 78 The Female Emperor's Embarrassing Moment, Somewhat Cute?

After Gu Lan finished speaking, he didn't pay much attention to it. He put away the chess pieces and started another round with the old man. Unable to hold back any longer, Xiao Fei'er, biting her plump cherry lips, slowly spoke, "Master Gu, may I borrow the Music Score you wrote?"

Her voice was very soft, as she felt Gu Lan might not lend it to her. After all, in the previous two encounters, Gu Lan had treated her with such disdain. In the hierarchy of being a "simp," Gu Lan firmly kept her under his control.

"Sure," unexpectedly, Gu Lan glanced at her and casually agreed.

Xiao Fei'er was stunned! She almost suspected that she had misheard him.

"That was exchanged between me and Master Zhang. Since you and Master Zhang are old acquaintances, borrowing it for a look won't hurt," Gu Lan said, looking at the old man across the chessboard, who was already frowning after a few moves.

"Thank you, Master Gu!" Xiao Fei'er was excited. "I'll go get the zither. If Master doesn't mind, I'd like to play a piece."

"Okay!" Gu Lan made a move on the chessboard and said, "Feel free. It's a pleasant thing to have the sound of the zither accompany a warm game of chess."

Upon receiving his permission, Xiao Fei'er ran out of the warm pavilion in high spirits. Her robes fluttered, and her skirts billowed. After leaving the warm pavilion, many scholars and aspiring scholars studying in the area saw her.

In the dull study life, the bright smile of the capital's number one beauty was truly enchanting. Their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Miss Xiao, where are you going?"

"Miss, during my leisure time, I wrote a poem for you. If you don't mind, perhaps you can give it a listen?"

...

A bunch of young scholars in Confucian robes struck up conversations as they looked up. Xiao Fei'er paused for a moment, quickly putting on a perfunctory smile, "I'm sorry, everyone. Today, I have someone to accompany. We'll meet again another day."

Her refusal was polite. The scholars nodded, understanding her situation.

"It turns out she's going to accompany Master Qingwei... We won't disturb you then!"

"Miss, go about your business. I'm xxx, %¥%&#."

...

Xiao Fei'er didn't hear the rest.

She hurriedly went to fetch the zither, intending to play Gu Lan's Feng Qiu Huang to familiarize herself with it.

She was afraid that if she delayed, Gu Lan might change his mind and refuse to lend it, and that would be unbearable for her!

...

In a corner, a sharp-faced scholar, watching the beautiful figure of Xiao Fei'er leaving, swallowed hard.

His fist clenched involuntarily.

Zhang Qingwei took a sip of tea and said, "Speaking of the current Emperor, she is a decisive monarch. This is related to the death of the previous emperor when she was fifteen. At that time, she had just entered the Sword King Realm..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Fei'er, holding an ancient zither, finally returned to the door of the warm pavilion.

She was about to push the door open when she heard Zhang Qingwei inside say mysteriously, "Oh, by the way! Master Gu, do you know Her Majesty's favorite animal?"

Xiao Fei'er's hand pushing the door suddenly stopped! Well, she hadn't kept guard for a while, and now the old man was gossiping about the female Emperor to Gu Lan? At this moment, Gu Lan shook his head and smiled, "I don't know." "It's the mynah bird!" Zhang Qingwei recalled.

"Do you remember when Her Majesty was eight years old, and I was still teaching in the palace... Her Majesty's favorite blue-tailed red-feathered mynah bird was eaten by a consort's cat. After she found out, she directly took a sword and killed the cat, scaring the consort into fainting in the palace."

"Later, the late emperor punished Her Majesty to kneel in the snow for three hours... Hey, you might not know, but at that time, Her Majesty still cried her nose off. She cried a lot in the her palace until the late emperor bought another mynah bird and gave it to her. However, she refused to take it!"

"Ah? I never thought of that!"

Gu Lan listened and couldn't help laughing heartily.

Unexpectedly, the female Emperor, who was known for her coldness and ruthlessness in the original story, had such a childhood memory. This stubborn personality, why did it sound somewhat cute?

"Anything else?" Gu Lan smiled at Zhang Qingwei.

"If the old master has more interesting stories unknown to the public, I'll give you a chess manual. Once you master it, your chess skills will be unparalleled in the world!"

Who could refuse the words "unparalleled in the world" among the chess sages?

"Of course, there is!" Zhang Qingwei became interested, stroking his white beard. "Listen, I spent quite a long time in the palace back then. I can tell you stories that will last for a day and a night!"

Outside the door, Xiao Fei'er, holding the zither, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

She thought, "This old man, unexpectedly revealing such scenes behind others... exchanging chess manuals for the Her Majesty's embarrassing old little stories, this is really ruthless!"

But if he tells ordinary people, it's okay, after all, they can't access the female Emperor.

But he doesn't know, the guy in front of him... he's the one sleeping next to the female Emperor! Xiao Fei'er felt a bit anxious!

Because Gu Lan would eventually find out that the Emperor Jiaqing was Mu Yuyan. By that time, if he reveals so much dark history, won't the female Emperor be mocked and bullied?

Xiao Fei'er imagined a bit and already felt the overwhelming sense of impending doom! But she didn't dare to go in.

Afraid that if the old man sees her, he might say, "Hey, Lady-in-waiting, you know the details, come and talk about it..."

Wouldn't that be a complete disaster? Xiao Fei'er hesitated for a long time, her legs going numb from standing.

Until! Hearing the old man inside getting excited, saying, "Actually, Her Majesty's matters are a bit distant. I can tell you something more recent, like Lady-in-waiting..."

"Master, Master Gu, I'm back!" Unable to bear the exposure of her dark history, Xiao Fei'er couldn't take it anymore and pushed the door open to enter!
