Xuexue pouted, unwillingly saying, "You say there’s none, but there clearly is."
In the struggle, a waft of body fragrance hit him, causing Long Rui’s mind to waver. He forcibly suppressed the stirring in his heart and said in an unsteady voice, "Even if my wife turns into a pig, I will still like her."
"Ugh, Prince, you’re the worst."
"Darling, don’t move!"
Long Rui’s face turned red, his complexion somewhat unstable. Xuexue blushed, wondering where this guy’s mind had wandered off to?
"Prince, don’t mess around. There are so many people watching here, you know!" This was the main hall, lined with maidservants standing on either side, and the steward waiting nearby.
Seeing the Prince and Princess Consort interacting, they were so frightened they didn’t dare look up, fearing the Prince’s scolding.
"What are you afraid of? They don’t dare to look."
"Not daring to look doesn’t mean they don’t know. Don’t treat everyone as fools."
"Got it, my wife is shy. I won’t act recklessly."
Amidst this harmonious atmosphere, a commotion of footsteps came from outside.
Soon after, noisy voices erupted outside the door...
"Miss Gu, the Prince and Princess Consort are inside. Don’t go in and disturb them." The guard standing at the entrance blocked Gu Lingqiao.
Gu Lingqiao was wearing a pink dress, her face heavily made-up, and her hair adorned with headwear, as bossy as ever: "How dare you! Knowing Brother Rui is inside, yet you dare to stop me. Do you believe I’ll have Brother Rui chop off all your heads?"
Xuexue: "Prince."
Long Rui frowned and said to the steward, "Let her in!"
The steward cautiously glanced at Xuexue, then replied, "Yes."
The last time the Princess Consort ran off in jealousy, it caused trouble with Old Master Gu. Although there hadn’t been any visible actions from Old Master Gu, the steward still felt uneasy inside. After all, he’s The Richest Man Under the Heavens, not someone to offend easily.
He quickly walked to the door and said to the noisy Gu Lingqiao outside, "Miss Gu, stop making a fuss. The Prince is calling you in!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingqiao triumphantly placed her hands on her hips and coldly huffed at the guards at the entrance, "Did you hear that? Brother Rui is calling me in. Just you wait; I’ll have Brother Rui chop off your heads."
After saying that, she lifted her head and walked in with an arrogant stride.
The two who were once lovey-dovey quickly fell silent due to Gu Lingqiao’s arrival.
Just as Gu Lingqiao was confidently strutting in, assuming she was the epitome of grace...
A sharp voice echoed from the beams above, "Squawk... the ugly freak is here again."
Gu Lingqiao froze and looked up to see that despicable Birdy perched up high, jeering at her.
"Despicable."
She angrily marched up to Long Rui, "Brother Rui, look at that stinky bird. It’s bullying me too much; it calls out every time it sees me."
The surrounding maidservants and servants all lowered their heads, secretly laughing.
Serves her right. Why does she always disturb the Prince? Doesn’t she know the Prince and Princess Consort are deeply in love? Coming here to cause trouble, getting scolded is what she deserves.
Long Rui: "Little Sister Ling, don’t be mad. Sit down and have a piece of pastry to calm your anger!"
Gu Lingqiao glared furiously at Xiao Jiu up on the beam, "Brother Rui, you have to avenge me."
Xuexue immediately started coughing, "Cough cough cough...!"
Long Rui sneaked a glance at her but didn’t say a word.
Gu Lingqiao understood that Xiao Jiu was that little cheap person Princess Consort of War Prince’s pet. Her coughing was clearly hinting to the Prince not to mess with her bird.
In her heart, Gu Lingqiao was at odds with Xuexue. She coquettishly whined to Long Rui, dragging her voice long and sweet, "Brother Rui."
Everyone present felt goosebumps rise all over. Oh my, this Gu Lingqiao, she’s really ruthless in getting what she wants.
