The atmosphere was joyous and harmonious. Only MO Yunye did not know how to enjoy the food. He only wanted to quickly end this palace banquet and go to where Gu Qingxue was.
At the same time, Gu Qingxue had already left the palace with Gong Lingyu and was sitting in the carriage.
The coachman drove away, leaving only Gu Qingxue, Gong Lingyu, and Miao Yin in the carriage.
After Gong Lingyu was sure that it was safe, she immediately put away her weak and feeble appearance and said, âSister Gu, donât you think Iâm good at acting? Shouldnât you praise me? â
Gu Qingxue was amused by Gong Lingyuâs words. âYes, youâve done me a great favor today. I should thank you properly.â
Gong Lingyu had only said it as a joke, but Gu Qingxue thanked her so seriously that she blushed in embarrassment. âSister Gu, why do you take it so seriously? Iâm just playing with you. But fortunately, father and mother did not notice anything. Sister Gu, whatâs going on between you and Nine?â
Miao Yin recalled what had happened at the banquet and could not help but sigh, âThis servant was also shocked. I didnât expect the ninth prince to be so bold as to propose directly. Fortunately, His Majesty is kind and gave Miss Gu a choice.â
âThatâs because Sister Gu has the capital to make father apprehensive. If it wasnât for Sister Guâs own ability, you can see if father would still be merciful if the ninth prince chooses another woman today,â Gong Lingyu said with a serious expression.
âThatâs right.â Gu Qingxueâs lips curled into a cold smile as she said this.
If Rong Xiaotian had not taken the medicine that she had given him and tasted the sweetness of it, todayâs matter would not have ended so easily.
To Rong Xiaotian, her own value to him was far greater than the value of sending her to the marriage alliance.
At the end of the day, she had relied on her own abilities to escape this calamity.
However, what if she was just an ordinary woman? Would she be able to escape this marriage today?
The answer was obvious.
Gong Lingyu poured a cup of tea for Gu Qingxue and brought it to her with both hands, âSister Gu, donât be angryâ¦â
Gu Qingxue took the tea and took a sip. âIâm not angry, Iâm disappointed. I didnât expect that my good friend would scheme against me. â
No matter what MO Yunyeâs reasons were, his sudden request for a marriage today meant that he did not take her thoughts to heart.
He was the prince of a country. If he wanted to marry, he could marry, but he did not ask if she was willing.
She was a person, not an object. She was not someone MO Yunye could take away just because he wanted to.
Gong Lingyu saw Gu Qingxueâs cold expression and shook her head helplessly. âThe ninth prince has indeed gone too far this time. Sister Gu, donât worry, youâve rejected the entire Moyun Kingdom for what happened today. If theyâre smart, they wonât mention this matter again.â
âI hope so,â Gu Qingxue muttered to herself.
âBy the way, Princess, Miss Gu, did you see the terrible expression on the prince regentsâs face when he heard the ninth princeâs request for His Majesty to grant him a marriage? â Miao Yin quickly said.
Gu Qingxueâs heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously looked at Miao Yin and saw that the master and servant pair were looking at her with a half-smile. Gu Qingxue pretended to be serious as she looked at the two of them. âDonât make fun of me,â
Gong Lingyu was not afraid of Gu Qingxueâs expression at all. Instead, she smiled evilly and nudged her shoulder lightly. âSister Gu, weâre not outsiders. If you care about my cousin, you can just say it..â
