297 Going with Excitement, Returning with Depression (2/2)
He went in excitement, but returned with depression.
Coincidentally, he had to attend an event in the palace with his spouse. Of course, he had to bring his official wife.
He released Luo Xinglan but had been lecturing her throughout the journey as he was worried she might do something reckless again. Luo Xinglan did not say a single word. Since he locked her up, she decided not to talk to him anymore.
During the event in the palace, there were many pretty dancers. The Emperor and Luo Xinglan both knew each other.
The Emperor definitely knew that Luo Xinglan gets jealous easily but he suddenly mentioned that he wanted to grant two of the dancers to Gu Xietian as his mistresses.
However, Gu Xietian already had four wives and mistresses. That was overwhelming for him.
Besides, he was worried Luo Xinglan would be jealous and stir any chaos in the palace.
He was ready to reject it but unexpectedly, Luo Xinglan got up and generously accepted the offer from the Emperor.
Gu Xietian had no idea how he should respond; even the Emperor was surprised and asked her whether she would feel envious at all.
She smiled and said, ”No, I won’t be jealous.”
After the event, the two dancers returned together with Gu Xietian and Luo Xinglan. Luo Xinglan generously let them stay with Gu Xietian alone, while she took another carriage by herself.
Her understanding nature had drove Gu Xietian mad.
