The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again!

423 Inexplicable Warmth For Her

When he left, Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue.

Seeing Rong Zhan’s distant look, Gu Qingxue did not understand what he meant, so she returned his gaze indifferently.

To her surprise, Rong Zhan’s expression was still cold as he continued to stare at Gu Qingxue with a serious expression.

In the end, after Gu Qingxue thought about it seriously, she finally understood what Rong Zhan meant. She smiled and nodded. “Your Royal Highness, take care.”

Rong Zhan did not say anything. He only narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Qingxue for a moment before turning to leave.

Gu Qingxue tilted her head, feeling baffled.

The empress dowager did not care about Rong Zhan’s movements at all. Her attention was still on Gu Qingxue. “Xue’er, how long have you known Zhan’er?”

Gu Qingxue looked at the empress dowager suspiciously, but she answered the empress dowager honestly, “Empress Dowager, I’ve known the prince regent for a few months.”

“Mm, that’s good, that’s good. What do you think of Zhan’er?” The empress dowager continued to ask with a face full of love.

“The prince regent’s courage is unparalleled, and he’s a proud son of the heavens,” Gu Qingxue said.

The empress dowager took Gu Qingxue’s hand and patted it lightly. “Actually, Zhan’er is a person who’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He usually looks like he’s not to be trifled with, but he actually dotes on people. Since you’ve been with him for such a long time, you should be able to see this, right?”

Gu Qingxue thought about how Rong Zhan always had endless patience when he was facing the four little ones, and she did understand what the empress dowager meant. “Empress dowager’s words are very true, I also feel this way.”

The empress dowager continued, “In the future, you should visit the prince regent’s residence often. Rong Zhan’s grandfather is also an easy person to get along with. If anyone in the prince regent’s residence dares to mistreat you in the future, you can come to me and complain. I will definitely stand up for you.”

The more Gu Qingxue listened, the more she could not understand the empress dowager’s meaning.

Rong Han’s treatment was coming to an end, and she did not plan to go to the prince regent’s residence. How could the people in the residence give her a chance to suffer?

However, the empress dowager’s expression was too serious, so serious that Gu Qingxue could not reject her good intentions.

Thus, Gu Qingxue could only nod and agree.

“You’re really well-behaved and sensible. No wonder so many people like you. I also thinks you’re very good.” The empress dowager seemed to have thought of something, “That’s right, about your marriage…”

Gu Qingxue felt that something was completely wrong. She was about to ask further when Gong Lingyu beat her to it and interrupted her.

“Grandmother, it’s already this time and I’m a bit hungry. Why don’t we have people send some snacks up?” Gong Lingyu looked at Gu Qingxue and said, “Sister Gu, the desserts my made in my grandmother’s palace’s kitchen are exquisite and delicious. You have to eat more later.

Gu Qingxue looked at Gong Lingyu, her eyes filled with deep meaning.

If she had only thought that the empress dowager’s attitude was a little strange at the beginning… Then, from Gong Lingyu’s expression, she was certain that this girl was hiding something from her.

Otherwise, why would the empress dowager suddenly ask her so many inexplicable questions and even be inexplicably warm to her?

Perhaps it was because Gu Qingxue’s gaze was too intense, but Gong Lingyu quietly lowered her head, not daring to meet Gu Qingxue’s eyes.

Very quickly, the maidservants brought over some desserts.

“I’ll do it.” An idea came to Gong Lingyu. She picked up a plate of desserts and walked toward Gu Qingxue. “Sister Gu, try some…”
