In the end, she did not waste her efforts in dressing up. Her appearance had indeed attracted the attention of many of the Dongyuan Aristocrat Clan's disciples and talents from the capital.
Afterwards, those noble madams and children recognized this principal concubine of the Muhuang Kingdom and the direct daughter of the Prime Minister. Their faces were immediately filled with happiness as they came forward to please him.
Gu Qingruo came from a distinguished background. She was a renowned scholar in the capital, and before she was married, she had an illustrious reputation in the pavilion. After she was married, she became the main wife of Prince Mo. How could she not be surrounded by the crowd? When they heard that the lady beside her was actually the Northern Chu Princess, almost all of the unmarried youths sitting in the opposite area lit up in front of them.
Although the princess was of noble status and did not dare to be of high status, seeing that she was in the prime of her youth and had such an outstanding appearance, how could these youths not be moved? They were all thinking that if they could win the princess' favor, it was not as if there would not be a match match between them in this world …
Besides, most of them were from wealthy families, including the royal family. Even if they were accompanied by a princess, it shouldn't be a delusion. If it weren't for the fact that the current emperor didn't have any suitable princesses, he would have chosen his prince consort from among these young talents.
As a result, many of the noble young masters and famous black-clothed disciples put in their efforts to seduce the princess, passing their feet across the shallow clear stream in the middle of the male and female seats to narrate their love.
She lifted her chin with a cold expression and a frosty expression on her face. She did not hesitate to speak to the men who started the conversation, not even to say a single word. On the other hand, when she heard a bunch of flattery from a group of noble ladies that were like flowers, she was a little flattered and even revealed a slight smile from time to time.
When he was in the Northern Chu Country, Helian Peng was naturally praised and flattered, so he always thought that his intelligence was peerless. However, when he flattered a princess, he saw that she liked men's clothing, and she was always ready to fight. He had gotten a lot of attention wearing this outfit today, so he was satisfied with the new bootlicking.
Gu Qingruo also mentioned the night banquet in the palace, Princess Helian's final round of drumming and dancing. At that time, she had occasionally been lucky enough to enter the palace to accompany the guests, but she had also been observing from a distance. With this mention, she had immediately bragged about that night's battle dance to the point where there was nothing in the sky, and had even surpassed Gu Qingruo's technique.
After Princess Helian had drifted away, she naturally began to grow closer and closer to Gu Qingruo. Her loathing towards her as Gu Qingli's blood sister had greatly lessened.
After playing with these handsome men and women for a while, Helian Xianzi had grown up with a love of literature and martial arts, and after he was defeated by Xiao Yi on the battlefield, he became obsessed with martial arts. She was not at all good at the flirtatious side of these talented men and women, and when it was her turn, she raised her phoenix eyes in annoyance.
However, the scholar with the first half of the couplet was looking at her expectantly, thinking that since she was the Northern Chu princess, her talent must also be extraordinary. If she was lucky enough to fail her, she would admire her more …
However, he did not expect that the "scholar" whom Helian Xianzi hated the most in his life, would have turbid water with insects, fishy water with fishes, rich rivers and lakes ". After hearing the first half of the unfathomable couplet, he felt a burst of anger in his heart, thinking to himself, this person has produced so many water pairs, could it be that his brain has also entered water?
However, this was the East Abyss, not the Northern Chu. If she angrily refused, no one would be willing to give her face. Gu Qingruo had been lucky enough to get away from the awkward situation. She gave Gu Qingruo a light kick and whispered in a voice that only she could hear, "The bottom of the tree is the center, the top of the tree is the bottom, the bottom is the wood, the bottom is the wood and the cedar tree is the thick.
Helian Peng was elated and replied in a fluent manner. The scholar was stunned for a good while, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Following that, Gu Qingruo helped her out a few more times, causing Helian Xianzi's name to be immediately admired by everyone.
As the poetry meet neared its end, Helian Shuang and Gu Qingruo became close friends who could talk about anything. After the poetry meet, the two of them slowly walked along the shallow stream, admiring the imperial gardens.
The maple leaves on the emperor's mountain looked on from afar, as if they were dyed with the blood of the mountain. They were fierce, robbing people, yet their eyes were red and fearful.
Unexpectedly, Helian Xianzi recalled that year in the battlefield covered in yellow sand, a great army fought a great war. Countless soldiers' blood stained the yellow land, just like the red maple covering the entire mountain — cruel and beautiful.
Yellow sand flew in the air as the flames of war raged. Xiao Yi Xiu's white robes and white horses, with his silver helmet and jade-like face, looked like a meteor piercing through the clouds in the sky. He held a silver spear in his hand, invincible and invincible. He was like a god that not only attracted her full attention, but also roused the morale of her comrades on the battlefield. The enemy was utterly defeated …
Gu Qingruo was an observant person, so she didn't need to reveal her feelings to know that she was infatuated with Xiao Yi Xiu. Hence, the topic inadvertently shifted to him. At the same time, she unconsciously brought up the matter of her younger sister.
After Gu Qing Ruoruo had twisted Gu Qing Li's body, she had become a woman who had lost her birth mother early on. She had a sinister personality and was good at camouflage, but Xiao Yi Xiu had been fooled and knew nothing about her true nature.
Helian Chenghui became increasingly furious. She felt that sooner or later, she would have to expose Gu Qingli's true appearance, especially the matter of her keeping poisonous bees in the manor and harming herself.
Upon hearing that she had been stung by a bee, Gu Qingruo was taken aback. She questioned him again in detail about what had happened and fell silent.
Helian Peng felt that it was a bit strange. At the very least, she understood that Gu Qingruo and her sister's relationship wasn't very deep. With such painstaking thought, she must have sensed something.
She patiently waited for Gu Qingruo to ponder over it. After listening to Gu Qingruo ask a few more questions, she finally asked, "Do you think this matter is strange?"
"Huh?" Gu Ruoyun came back to her senses and smiled sweetly at her, then said, "This matter isn't simple. Don't worry princess, I will do my best to investigate this matter for you. As for Gu Qingli's words, you definitely can't be careless. Crown Prince Helian's conjecture is correct. She treated your bee poison purely to punish you. However, I have a different opinion towards the person who poisoned you. I do not think that it's Gu Qingli. "
Helian Shuanghui raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her doubtfully.
"There are too many powers interweaving with each other in the Residence of Mo. Princess might not understand this, but I hope that you can make use of your status and enter the Residence of Mo to observe the ladies of the Mo King from the shadows."
"Madame Zhou and Madame Jia? I feel that they are all very kind and humble, completely different from the arrogance of Princess Mo. "
Gu Qingruo thought to herself, the first to act arrogantly is clearly you, right? To barge into someone's home and publicly challenge them, and even have ill intentions towards someone else's husband, any woman would find it hard to be kind towards an intruder like this.
Of course, it was inconvenient for her to say such words. Instead, she smiled along with Helian Xiufeng's words, "If Princess feels that Princess Mo is bewitching and bewitching Mo Wang, and is also so arrogant and despotic as to bully and bully others, then the two madams must have suffered a lot of her idleness … Don't you think the ladies know more about her than you do? "
"Of course, but I want to know what that bitch is doing." Helian Shuanghui's words were filled with anger, and even those vulgar words came out of his mouth.
Gu Qingruo despised the princess' vulgarity and lack of manners as she smiled and said, "You know yourself, you know your enemy. A hundred battles are never over, and the princess has always been adept in military tactics. How can she not understand this logic? During the Warring States Era, Su Qin advocated the idea of cooperation. Princess, do you understand the logic behind this? "
Although Helian Shuang loved to practice martial arts, his goal was not to protect his family and protect his country. Thus, he did not know much about the art of war. He was just looking at the sky from a well and thinking highly of himself.
And the actual battle was only that one time when he was young. He was merely borrowing Helian Shuangwei's military prowess to secretly go to the battlefield to watch the show. How could the Northern Chu Emperor allow this daughter of her, who did not know her place, to actually go to war?
Although Gu Qingruo was not a martial artist, she had a noble background and was well-read in the history of poetry, which meant that she had the reputation of a talented girl. Although she had no actual experience in military strategies, she could speak of Helian Peng easily and repeatedly.
