Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 313 If you're not convinced, keep it to yourself!

Princess Chaoyue stood straight in the middle of the road in front of Gu Qingyue and the others, staring at Gu Qingyue's face with an arrogant expression and mocking eyes. It was obvious that she had come to cause trouble.

Gu Qingyue and the three people beside her exchanged glances, then bowed slightly to the two princesses and Princess Chaoyue.

Zhao Yunnan couldn't help but ask first, "Princess and Princess Chaoyue, are you also going to the garden?"

"Gu Qingyue," Princess Chaoyue said coldly, completely ignoring Zhao Yunnan, her tone laced with sarcasm, "In such a good mood, are you going to the peach garden to admire the flowers?"

They didn't even bother to address Miss Gu anymore, which showed how angry they were.

Gu Qingyue smiled slightly, ignoring this spoiled and pampered young lady, and nodded very dignifiedly without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Princess Chaoyue was so angry that she wanted to curse him out.

But considering the two princesses beside her, she couldn't afford to lose face by lashing out on the spot. She held back, her tone icy, "You don't mean to—"

"So this is Miss Gu San? What an air of importance!" A woman behind Princess Chaoyue spoke coldly, interrupting Princess Chaoyue, "Princess Chaoyue asked you a question, and you dare not answer?"

Holy crap! What kind of weirdos are these? So many busybodies?

"Princess Minxuan, please forgive me. I'm afraid you've misunderstood. I did answer you. Princess Chaoyue and I hit it off immediately. We even participated in a talent show together this afternoon. Because we're close, a nod means she's right," Gu Qingyue continued with a smile. "I wonder if the two princesses will also be going to the garden?"

The people who had been whispering just moments before were now frozen in place.

Miss Gu, have you lost your mind? Your sudden over-the-top familiarity is really hard to handle!

Princess Minxuan was speechless for a moment, but having seen all sorts of people in the harem, she immediately understood.

She scoffed, "Miss Gu, you certainly know how to talk. You say you and Princess Chaoyue hit it off immediately?"

"Your Highness, that's right. My daughter and Princess Chaoyue met yesterday and talked a lot."

Gu Qingyue looked at Princess Chaoyue with a smile, her phoenix eyes full of laughter, as if to say, "Isn't that right, Princess?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Jiaojiao and the other two people beside Gu Qingyue couldn't help but chuckle softly, their heads bowed and their shoulders trembling slightly.

They knew that from yesterday to today, Qingyue had managed to humiliate the usually aloof princess several times, and the two were indeed quite familiar with each other.

"Gu Qingyue!!"

Princess Chaoyue's face turned completely black, and her shout was deafening.

Princess Minxuan and Princess Changning, who were standing beside her, were both startled by the sudden sound.

They couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the woman beside them who had suddenly become hysterical.

Princess Minxuan was shocked, while Princess Changning was disdainful and mocking. It seems that these three are not all on the same side.

Gu Qingyue curled her lips where no one could see, a hint of cunning flashing across her face. She was good at playing the innocent white lotus and choking people!

"Please speak, Princess," Gu Qingyue continued with a smile, her composure and shamelessness were truly remarkable.

Everyone:······

Princess Chaoyue realized she had lost her composure. She took a few steps closer to Gu Qingyue and lowered her voice, "You just wait!" Her face was twisted and ferocious.

Gu Qingyue maintained her smile. Yes, she was the best at pretending! What? You don't like what I'm saying?

If you're not happy about it, then keep it to yourself!

The most interesting thing is disciplining and disciplining unreasonable little girls.

Watching Princess Chaoyue angrily bump Gu Qingyue's shoulder and stride away, the remaining people looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Miss Gu is truly kind-hearted. Chaoyue has lost her composure today,” Princess Changning’s voice rang out softly amidst the silence. Her voice was gentle and her tone calm.

Lost her composure? Does that mean she can't accept defeat? This princess is interesting!

Gu Qingyue turned to look at Princess Changning.

I heard that Princess Changning just turned fifteen this year. She is beautiful, with fair skin and upturned eyes, and has a unique and elegant temperament.

Compared to Princess Min-seon next to her, although both are royal princesses, she is several levels above in terms of looks and temperament.

Gu Qingyue's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing this.

According to my fourth brother, Princess Changning had chosen her husband a few months ago. The husband is from the Lin'an Marquis's family and is the second son of the legitimate wife. His name is Liu Bojun. I heard that he is not only handsome but also very learned. He just passed the imperial examination last year and ranked among the top in the second class. He is now an editor in the Hanlin Academy. He is young and intelligent and is a good candidate for the husband.

"Your Highness flatters me," Gu Qingyue curtsied slightly, displaying the poise and elegance of a noble lady, completely belying how she could have silenced Princess Chaoyue with just a few words.

Cui Jiaojiao and the others watched from the sidelines, their lips twitching. So this is what Qingyue is really like!

Seeing Gu Qingyue curtsy, a hint of disdain flashed in Princess Minxuan's eyes.

She glanced at Princess Changning beside her, said, "Let's go," and turned to lead her people toward the Peach Garden.

Gu Qingyue's eyes flickered slightly. She had thought Princess Minxuan was going to stand up for Princess Chaoyue, but it seemed she didn't take it seriously at all! Heh...

Princess Changning nodded, smiled at Gu Qingyue and the others, and said, "Make yourselves at home," before following them.

"Respectfully seeing off the princess," the crowd behind him bowed in unison.

Gu Qingyue straightened up and saw two princesses. One walked with a noble and proud demeanor, as haughty as a peacock, while the other walked leisurely and freely, like a swan taking a stroll.

Once the two princesses and their servants had disappeared from sight, the four girls burst into laughter.

Of course, the volume was controlled; they still needed to maintain the decorum of noble ladies.

After they had finished laughing, Gu Qingyue looked at the three of them helplessly, pinched Cui Jiaojiao's round face, and said, "Okay, let's go."

The path finally quieted down after the girls walked away briskly into the distance.

A purple figure flashed out from behind the artificial hill. "Heh---interesting!" Then the figure slowly walked down another path, followed by a gray-clad man, and soon disappeared from sight.

"Third Brother?" Gu Qingyue and her three companions had just entered the Peach Garden when they saw Gu Yuanming and his group near a small pavilion by the water.

"Little sister," Gu Yuanming heard the voice and turned around, only to see Gu Qingyue walking over with three girls.

As she got closer, Gu Qingyue realized that many people were standing by the small pavilion.

This is a tall and spacious waterside pavilion with winding, upturned corners, built on the shore of the lake. It is quite unique.

This spot is right along the lake, offering a great view of the peach orchard on the south bank.

Hundreds of peach and pear trees are planted along a gentle slope. From this angle, you can see the gnarled branches dotted with pink and white peach and pear blossoms, creating a beautiful scene that covers the entire mountainside.

Gu Qingyue raised her hand to shield her eyes from a ray of sunlight on the horizon, opened them slightly, and felt the gentle breeze by the lake, warm and tranquil, carrying a hint of peach blossom fragrance that was intoxicating.
