C53 (1/2)

Qu Xue'er had already cleared the bamboo forest, and the palace maid behind her had long since been forced back, leaving the two of them behind.

A gentle breeze blew past, causing her clothes to flutter slightly. However, her expression was not as kind as that of a gentle breeze.

”Are you serious?”

The expression in Qu Xue'er's eyes darkened slightly as she slowly clenched her jade-like fingers under the sleeve.

She remembered the last time she went to Fourth Brother's Duke Palace, when she saw that Prince Jing's Wife.

However, the girl sitting in the high seat looked very noble and cold. It seemed that she wasn't the kind of person that the Queen Mother and Peaches were talking about.

Seeing that Qu Xue'er still had a face of indecision, Bi Tao was afraid that he would not be able to complete the mission given to him by the empress.

He wanted to fan the flames again.

”I'm not too sure about the specifics, empress also sent a servant to inform you after hearing it.”

Peaches paused for a moment before moving closer to her.

”princess, this servant will still remind you that you don't know what's good for you.”

Bi Tao did not directly aim his words at Qu Xue'er, but he still brought Qu Xue'er forward in that direction, intentionally or unintentionally.

Looking around, the autumn wind brought a bit of loneliness. Bi Tao was afraid that someone would bump into him, so he quickly bowed and took his leave.

”This servant still has matters to attend to, so this servant will take her leave first.”

With regards to the hurriedly leaving Peaches, Qu Xue'er had a nagging feeling that something was wrong.

She hadn't heard of Gu Xiao having anything to do with General's Mansion before, and she had sent people to thoroughly investigate that brat's previous life experiences.

If it wasn't for her, he would probably only be a little doctor who ate and drank, not even he would dare to.

After thinking it through, a sweet smile once again rose on Qu Xue'er's fair and exquisite face.

She was the Grand Princess of the Yan Kingdom, the most beloved Princess Chuxue of the father. As long as Gu Xiao wasn't blind, he would definitely choose her.

Qu Xue'er slightly tidied up her clothes, turned around and walked back with light and leisurely steps while dragging her long skirt.

As for the Prince Jing's Wife, for his to be able to send his personal Dark Guard to protect that fool Gu Xiao, he must have some sort of connection with his.

Thinking about it, Fourth Brother's wedding present was still lacking compared to hers, wasn't it?

After leaving the bamboo forest, a group of palace maid stood there respectfully in two rows, occupying half of the road.

Seeing the princess coming out, one of the palace maid at the front welcomed her with a flattering smile.

”princess, do we still need to continue strolling around? Or should I directly return to the palace to rest? ”

Qu Xue'er glanced at her disgusted face, she was already in her fifties, but when she was facing him, her face still had a big smile on it.

If it wasn't for the fact that she was sent by her mother, she would have long since chased this annoying bastard away.

”It's cold outside, let's go back first.” Qu Xue'er said unhappily, ”Hua Yin, come over and help me.”

Hearing her, a girl walked over from the queue who looked to be about as obedient as her, and grabbed onto Qu Xue'er's fair silky body.

The fawning lady at the side stretched out her hand in mid air and stiffened. Looking at Qu Xue'er's departing figure, Nanny Yi could only lower her hand helplessly.

Sigh, this little ancestor.

After passing through a winding corridor, Qu Xue'er was still walking ahead thoughtfully. However, she didn't expect to see a dart flying directly in front of her after turning a corner.
