"Please speak, Master Qi." Gu Liuyan waved his hand.
"Just now, someone came to report that the third prince's consort has come to our Misty Rain Pavilion to cause trouble, but we don't dare to lightly touch the third prince's consort's identity. I wonder if consort …" Qi Ming looked away and stammered.
Third Prince's Consort?
She didn't know anything about this. The fourth prince, Duan Chengyu, had returned from the battlefield and still hadn't gotten married, yet the third prince already had a family? With a quick thought, she vaguely remembered that at the paddock, there was actually a beautiful girl sitting beside him.
However, everything was not coincidental.
Could it be that the Third Prince wanted to test her strength?
"Take me with you." Gu Danyan stood up leisurely and followed Qi Ming to the Misty Rain Pavilion.
At this time, Qi Rou was already in the shop, and many other ladies were busy picking out cosmetics. Only the lady beside Qi Rou had an angry look on her face, and beside her was the woman she had caught a glimpse of in the enclosure.
Qi Rou felt a headache coming on as she never thought that she would encounter such a troublesome situation.
When she saw Gu Danyan walk in, she quickly greeted him respectfully, "Crown Princess Jing."
"Ah Rou, there's no need to bow. Who are these two?" The two words' A-Rou 'brought the distance between the two of them closer, and as expected, the woman with the furious expression had her reputation activated as she came over.
"This Miss Chang is the third prince's consort. Lady Yue Qing is also a concubine in the third prince's residence." Qi Rou finally found a chance to take a breather as she walked to Gu Danyan's side.
"Crown Princess Jing." Yue Qing bowed obediently when she saw Gu Danyan, but there was some hostility in her eyes.
Gu Liuyan did not care. Instead, he looked at Chang Yi Qin and chuckled: "So it's Third Prince's consort and Lady Yue Qing. I had some ties with Third Prince before, why not let me be the host and have a meal in a nearby restaurant?"
Chang Yi Qin did not seem like she was reputed to be, but she was a truly arrogant girl. However, when she heard Gu Qing Yan's words, she had a straight face: "There's no need, coming here today, even if I have to talk about Misty Rain Pavilion's rouge and cosmetic powder, it hasn't even been done in a few years. Now that I've used it, I won't be favored by the third prince at all, it's of no use at all!"
Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows. He didn't think that someone would come and cause trouble for him for such a reason.
Qi Rou was also one of the top two, she had no way to deal with this.
"Third Prince's Consort is truly interesting." Gu Daiyan took the rouge from her hand and threw it back into Qi Rou's hand after a brief sniff, "Ah Rou, the rouge is too fragrant and is not suitable for the third prince's consort. Please bring some water."
Qi Rou did not understand, but she still sent people to do it.
"What does Princess Jing mean by this?" Chang Yiqin felt that something was wrong.
Gu Danyan smiled but did not say anything. After he brought the small basin of water, Gu Danyan wet the handkerchief with water and washed the rest of the rouge off Chang Yi Qin's face. When he saw that Chang Yi Qin was about to make a move, he quickly took the handkerchief and retreated a few steps, and said in a low voice: "This way, the Third Prince will definitely come and see you."
"What do you mean!" Chang Yi Qin quickly took out a bronze mirror to look at herself. Without her rouge and cosmetic powder, her face was a lot paler.
"The third prince doesn't like Misty Rain Pavilion's rouge, but the lady who embarrassed herself because of such a small matter." Gu Danyan walked forward and took the bronze mirror from her. With his other hand, he lightly touched her cheek: "You've made a good pair of skin, why do you need rouge and cosmetic powder. However, you don't get any favors, so you vent your anger on others."
"You!" Chang Yiqin made a gesture to make a move.
Gu Danyan took a few more steps back. Noticing that many young ladies were looking at him, he smiled and said, "It seems like I'm really sorry for telling the truth."
"Princess, please do not continue." Qi Rou hastily stepped forward to stop Chang Yiqin and consoled her in a low voice, "Princess Jing has always been lawless and arrogant. Do you want me to choose a few for you?"
In other words, Crown Princess Jing relied on her prince's lawlessness, so she knew.
Yue Qing, on the other hand, stared unblinkingly at Gu Daiyan. This woman was not arrogant or domineering in the slightest. She had merely relied on this stunt to do so.
Chang Yiqin, whose thoughts had been exposed, was furious and quickly waved her sleeves to leave.
Yue Qing had no choice but to apologise before hurriedly following. In her heart, she didn't know how Gu Mingyan was worthy of the third prince's fondness.
Gu Daiyan also noticed Yue Qing's slightly hostile gaze. She thought back and forth, but she couldn't remember when she had offended her. She was only curious as to who this Chang Yiqin was, so she asked Qi Rou who she was with.
Qi Rou understood this very well and told Chang Yiqin of her background. In the end, she did not forget to sigh, "It's just because she was spoiled by her father since she was young and her brothers are all supporting her. It's only natural for her to be arrogant and despotic now."
"I didn't expect this to happen when I was urging you to come back." Gu Daiyan was helpless.
She had just taken advantage of the third prince to deal with Qi Yu. Now that the third prince was using the Misty Rain Pavilion to probe her, they were really going to repay her for what she had done to herself.
"But since you helped me deal with it, why don't I ask Princess to call me Ah Rou from now on?" Qi Rou smiled faintly.
"Then you'll have to call me Yan'Er." Gu Danyan also sat down and looked at the rouge that Chang Yiqin had left behind. It was definitely expensive, and the smell was also very fragrant.
Qi Rou couldn't help but laugh when she smelled the rouge for the first time. "Didn't you smell the powdery smell of Misty Rain Pavilion when you came back with Prince previously?"
"You know?"
"Of course I know. Otherwise, do you really think I would be able to sit in the Medicine Hall by myself after hearing your words?" Qi Rou took some rouge and brought it to her. Seeing that she was still looking up at the sky, she said helplessly, "You're not too bad. I don't like most of it. Last time I wiped my lips and came out, I finished my meal and was gone."
"You know I eat as fast as you." On the other hand, Gu Liu Yan felt rather uncomfortable. However, Qi Rou covered her mouth and laughed softly.
Gu Liuyan was used to quickly taking care of his food, so he didn't waste any time. The two chatted for a while, but Gu Danyan didn't want to stay any longer, so she went straight to the Hall of Healing and told Qi Lin that Qi Rou had returned to Misty Rain Pavilion.
"Really!" Qi Lin quickly sat up.
"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you? But your leg will take some time to recover. Do you want to go back to the Qi Mansion or the medicine house?" I'll send someone to pick you up later. " Gu Daiyan handed over two packets of candied fruits.
"I want to return to the medicine house to be the overlord."
"Do you believe that I will let Cheng Er teach you a lesson?" Gu Mingyan rolled her eyes, Qi Lin was out of breath.
