“Alright, you may go,” the empress dowager said kindly.

Gong Lingyu quickly thanked her, then took the initiative to come forward and hug Gu Qingxue’s arm. “Sister Gu, the Jade Lake is in front of us. The scenery there is beautiful. I’ll take you there!”

“Alright,” she said. As Gu Qingxue spoke, she looked worriedly in Rong Han’s direction.

“You guys go ahead, I’ll look after Han’er,” Rong Zhan said.

Gu Qingxue thought that this was not the palace banquet in her dream, and with Rong Zhan’s protection, there should not be any problems. She followed Gong Lingyu in the direction of Jade Lake.

Gong Lingyu had the palace servants follow from a distance. She looked at Gu Qingxue with an unconcealable smile on her face.”Sister Gu, you’ve really amazed the world with one brilliant feat! You don’t know how shocked I was when I heard that my cousin was going to bring you into the palace! Didn’t you see the faces of those rich girls? They are all your love rivals and have liked my cousin for a long time. In the end, they have all been defeated by you.”

Gu Qingxue saw Gong Lingyu’s excited look and asked helplessly, “I’ve become the target of public criticism, but you’re happier than anyone else.”

She had also noticed the looks in the eyes of the daughters from prestigious families. All of them wanted to swallow her alive.

“What’s there to be afraid of, Sister Gu?” Gong Lingyu immediately asked. “As long as my cousin likes you, who would dare to say no in this court? Today, I see that big sister and my cousin are really a good match. Good things come in pairs. Today, I will ask my imperial father to bestow a marriage between the two of you.”

Gu Qingxue saw Gong Lingyu smirking as she spoke and was about to pinch this girl who was eager to see the world in chaos when a figure suddenly rushed out from behind the pine and cypress trees beside them.

Gu Qingxue did not notice his footsteps at all. She stopped in a hurry to avoid bumping into the tall man in front of her.

Gu Qingxue raised her head to look at the man. She was about to ask him about it when her eyes met MO Yunye’s face.

Gu Qingxue’s beautiful figure was reflected in MO Yunye’s eyes. His gaze was as deep as an abyss, revealing endless affection.

When Gu Qingxue saw that the person in front of her was MO Yunye, she immediately put away the smile on her face and put on a cold expression. “Your Highness, please move aside and let us pass.”

Gong Lingyu, who was standing beside Gu Qingxue, saw that MO Yunye was still looking at Gu Qingxue affectionately. She could not help but feel nervous. “Is the ninth prince here to see my father? It’s a pity that my imperial father didn’t come. Why don’t Your Highness go and see my grandmother first? Miao Yin, the ninth prince doesn’t know the way. Please take him there.”

“There’s no need. I have something to say to Qingxue. Princess, please leave,” MO Yunye said to Gong Lingyu expressionlessly.

Gong Lingyu suddenly became even more nervous. She stared at MO Yunye and said with a strong attitude, “Your Highness, I’m afraid this is against the rules!”

“It’s fine. Yu’er, you can go first. I’ll talk to him alone for a while and then I’ll go find you.” Gu Qingxue saw that MO Yunye did not seem like he was going to let the matter rest and decided to make things clear to him so that he wouldn’t keep pestering her.

“Well… Sister Gu, I’ll be standing not far ahead. You can call me at any time if you encounter anything.” Gong Lingyu worriedly warned him, then left, looking back three times with each step.

After Gu Qingxue was sure that Gong Lingyu had gone far away, she looked up at MO Yunye and asked, “Is there anything I can help you with, Your Highness?”
