My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"Let's go!"

Xiao Fei'er laughed. The female Emperor, who was usually composed, now appeared as flustered as a young girl in distress when facing Mr. Gu.

"Ah, that's good," Mu Yuyan said, heaving a sigh of relief, her ample chest rising and falling.

Gu Lan ultimately held no interest for her, and she didn't push open the door of the study... While Mu Yuyan felt at ease, there was an inexplicable sense of immense loss in her heart.

Complex, timid, worried... These somewhat girlish emotions shouldn't have appeared in the heart of the strong-willed female Emperor.

"Your Majesty, is this Mr. Gu the husband you found after leaving the palace?" Su Hua walked over at a leisurely pace, smiling calmly.

Mu Yuyan's expression froze, "Teacher... how did you know?"

"You were so eager to escape and have been afraid of being discovered. Before, Your Majesty mentioned that he didn't know your identity. Couldn't one deduce these things?"

Su Hua clearly understood his student. Unlike Master Zhang Qingwei, who knew very little and caused a surprise, almost frightening the female Emperor...

"Haven't figured out how to explain it to him?" Su Hua sat down, consoling his student.

Mu Yuyan nodded blankly, "Teacher, how did you know?"

"You were in such a hurry to escape, and you've been afraid of being found out... Before, Your Majesty said he didn't know your identity. Couldn't these things be deduced?"

Su Hua seemed to understand his student better. Unlike Master Zhang Qingwei, who knew little and caught her off guard, almost scaring her to death...

"Haven't figured out how to explain it to him?" Su Hua sat down, consoling his student.

Mu Yuyan nodded blankly, "Master Gu seems to... have reservations about my identity, even though he sincerely..."

"Your Majesty's identity is unavoidable!" Su Hua immediately pointed out the crux of the problem, "Instead of hiding it all the time and worrying whether Mr. Gu will blame you after learning the truth, it's better to gradually lay the groundwork for his understanding of the court. At least, try to regain his perception of the 'Emperor Jiaqing'!"

Mu Yuyan was stunned!

She, as the party involved, really hadn't thought of a solution. However, upon careful consideration, this seemed to be the best way!

"How should I lay the groundwork?" Mu Yuyan's bright eyes shimmered as she humbly sought guidance.

"Your Majesty is still thinking of having Mr. Gu become an influential minister in the future, right?" Su Hua smiled, "You can start with court affairs and bestow favors upon him!"

"I'm afraid of appearing overly generous; it might seem suspicious to Mr. Gu." Concerned about Gu Lan's opinion, Mu Yuyan carefully considered each move, much like the way Su Hua played the latter half of the chess game.

Su Hua smiled, "It may have seemed impulsive before, but after today's events, will it still be too abrupt?"

Mu Yuyan was taken aback!

In the past, it was Mu Yuyan and her husband, but after today, they had added another layer to their relationship—female Emperor and scholar! The female Emperor had already met the minister; even if she directly let the minister serve her, it wouldn't be too abrupt... This reasoning made sense!

"I know what to do now. Thank you, Teacher!" Mu Yuyan felt a bit excited, her eyes sparkling, and the confusion in her heart finally dissipated.

"Good." Su Hua has always been satisfied with his clever student.

"I'll leave now; there's no time to waste. From today onwards, I'll gradually change Mr. Gu's perception through subtle influence!" Mu Yuyan nodded and bid farewell. Enjoy new chapters from empire

"Okay."

"By the way, Teacher."

Mu Yuyan suddenly turned back, looking at the long-abandoned study in silence for a moment, and earnestly said, "Please don't tear down this room; it's quite useful."

"...Indeed!"

...

At dusk.

Gu Residence.

In the kitchen, Gu Xiaoqi found an efficient way to produce flames effortlessly. As long as she condensed and extracted the inner core of her spirit beast, she could continuously heat the stove.

Gu Lan took out a green and red fruit, treating it as a chili pepper. Slicing it into strips, he added it to the blanched pork belly. As the cooking smoke rose, a burst of fragrant aroma wafted into the courtyard.

Mu Yuyan walked in from the gate. Upon smelling the enticing aroma, she headed straight for the kitchen.

"Darling, it's better not to personally cook in the future. Old Yang's dishes are delicious, aren't they?"

Mu Yuyan, fully prepared, walked calmly to Gu Lan's side, gently advising.

She was currently pregnant, making it inconvenient for her to cook. Otherwise, how could she let him do it himself every day?

"It's okay at other times, but the dishes today are different!"

Gu Lan smiled and shook his head, looking at his considerate wife. It was their first meeting today, and Mu Yuyan appeared as a refreshing sight. She wore a light yellow dress, her three thousand strands of hair slightly damp, clinging to her willowy waist and cascading down.

Her delicate face had exquisite features, and her obsidian-like eyes faintly shone in the twilight, large and full of vitality.

Mu Yuyan, smelling the aroma, lowered her head to glance into the pot.

Then!

She saw the billowing spiritual energy of the Chaos-Origin Fruit... to be more accurate, fruit threads, as well as the Phoenix Inner Core in the stove that could be called the Supreme Fire!

"Darling, this..." Even with the female Emperor's vast knowledge, Mu Yuyan, upon seeing this, was dumbfounded. Her smile even seemed a bit frozen!

How could something be so extravagant? Phoenix Inner Core to cook, using sacred spirit fruits to make a dish... Perhaps only her husband could do such things in this world?!

"It's a vegetable that is beneficial for you and the child." Gu Lan casually explained, "When I went out last night, I picked it up on the roadside... Oh, by the way, there's a piece of clothing in the bedroom. Try it on later."

"...Alright." Mu Yuyan restrained her inner astonishment, fell silent for a moment, and softly responded. She knew that the things Gu Lan gave her were undoubtedly the best, making her feel an even greater sense of urgency to repay him.

She must seize the opportunity to "conquer" her husband in the name of the female Emperor, and then give everything to him... Mu Yuyan pondered for a long time, finally mustering the courage to bring up the topic of being the 'Emperor.'

At this moment!

Gu Lan suddenly remembered something and burst into laughter. "Darling, let me tell you something very amusing. Today, I went to visit the Grand Tutor's residence, and guess who I met?"

"???"

It's amusing to meet me... Mu Yuyan's words were choked, and she suddenly had a bad premonition!

"Your husband went to the Grand Tutor's residence... and met who?" Mu Yuyan took a deep breath, looked at Gu Lan's face, and asked with a smile.

"The Great Jing's Emperor!"

I knew it was about this... Mu Yuyan had already guessed what he was going to say next. Her delicate face gradually heated up, but she had to endure the embarrassment and continue to ask, "Your Majesty... why is it amusing?"

"She's a 'jiazi'!" Gu Lan explained with a smile, "In my hometown, 'jiazi' describes a person speaks with a very affected and artificial voice... Of course, I'm not mocking Your Majesty for having a poor voice, but it feels quite magical. A sovereign like her actually has this kind of voice. Won't the officials burst into laughter when they hear it? Haha..."

Thinking of the scene where the 'jiazi' voice echoed in the Golden Hall, Gu Lan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"...Master Gu, did you meet her?" Mu Yuyan's tone was cold, and she no longer sweetly called him 'darling.' Her eyes were watery, and her pretty face looked embarrassed and resentful.

She really wanted to shout: Listen carefully to my voice; where is it affected? And all of this is caused by you, bad husband?!

If this matter spreads, will she still have any dignity in front of him in the future?!

Suddenly, she didn't want to change his perception anymore. She's tired... Let it be destroyed!
