“No, no, no… With a house this big, I’ll feel like I’m living in a scenic spot. I’m worried that the security guards will kick me out.” Gu Bailu shook her head.
This building would be a luxurious attraction in modern times.
Someone came to greet them. “Greetings, Prince and Princess Zi. His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. Please.”
Feng Qingtian gathered Gu Bailu up in his arms and walked in. The hall was even more luxurious than the outside. Everything was decorated with gold.
When Gu Bailu saw Xiao Jingyun again, it was like he oozed the air of wealth; he would look even more like a fat cat if his belly was bigger, like a watermelon.
Sitting in his golden seat, Xiao Jingyun smiled. “You’re here. Sit.”
Feng Qingtian and Gu Bailu gave their insincere greetings and sat down.
Gu Bailu pinched the armrest. Damn, it really was gold.
She asked Feng Qingtian in a low voice, “Does Rising Clouds have a lot of gold mines?”
“No, I bought them all.” Feng Qingtian rubbed her head.
Gu Bailu rolled her eyes. Rising Clouds Empire was so fond of gold and jade, but unexpectedly didn’t even have a gold mine.
This is all made by buying the gold from our family. Gu Bailu instantly found this chair more lovely.
It was the sense of being from the same hometown.
“Prince Zi and his wife are so loving. I heard that Prince Zi only has Princess Zi and no other women.” A soft voice rang out.
Gu Bailu then realized that there was a woman in luxurious clothes next to Xiao Jingyun. Even her shoes seemed to be gilded in gold.
Gu Bailu asked in surprise, “Your Majesty, are the soles of your shoes made with gold?”
Wasn’t it tiring, wearing them? They were so thick, and had to weigh several kilograms at least.
The empress smiled. “It’s just a layer of gold on the outside. They aren’t heavy.”
“I see, I see, good shoes.”
So rich that it was inhumane. Even the soles of their shoes were gilded.
“Do you like them, Princess Zi? I just had a new pair made yesterday; I’ll give them to you,” the empress said generously.
Gu Bailu shook her head. “I’m too heavy to wear them, but thank you, Your Majesty.”
“If you like them, Princess Zi, I’ll give you a carriage full of different styles for when you’re lighter. These shoes are unique to Rising Clouds Empire.” Xiao Jingyun was even more generous.
Feng Qingtian said coldly, “No need. My woman lacks nothing.”
Gu Bailu nodded and stopped talking.
She couldn’t be bothered with Xiao Jingyun. He was a perverted man who had thoughts about pregnant women. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to control herself from stabbing him with a silver needle.
However, Xiao Jingyun’s gaze remained fixed on her.
The empress snorted inwardly. The emperor had quite the eye, taking a fancy to Prince Zi’s woman.
All these years, Xiao Jingyun had spared no effort in raking in beauties. As long as he had his eye on someone, regardless whether they were old or young, married or not, or what their background was, he would gather them all.
The empress had long been aware of this, and didn’t care about fighting for his favor.
In any case, with the strength of her own spiritual power and her family’s strength, her position as empress was secure.
While Xiao Jingyun’s gaze wandered over Gu Bailu from time to time, his expression was perfect, and Feng Qingtian couldn’t get angry at all.
Gu Bailu couldn’t help but stand up. “My lord, I’ll leave you to talk about state affairs. I’m going to visit Lian’er.”
Feng Qingtian nodded and helped her up. “I’ll see you out.”
The empress said, “Let me help you. You men can talk; I’ll follow Princess Zi back to the harem.”
