Chapter 147 Chapter 147

Qin Gui was arranged by Empress Wei to stay in Luqin Court northeast of the hunting palace, but she was dispirited the whole trip there.

Du Ruo was hustling about telling the servants to fix up the palace room while talking with Qin Gui about the winter hunt.

“Miss, there is nothing to do tonight so this slave will make you a bowl of calming tea. You should rest early tonight.”

“According to the rules, a formal ceremony will be held early tomorrow morning. I am afraid you will have to get up a down and head up to the hunting platform.”

“Tomorrow’s morning rituals are going to be very tedious. Before you go, you’d better eat something to pad your stomach.”

As soon as she learned that she would have to get up early at dawn, Qin Gui felt even more wilted. That was until the empress’s eunuch, Xiao Kouzi came over, bringing Qin Gui a gentle and beautiful filly.

Even though she couldn’t ride, it didn’t stop her from playing with the mare. She even named her “Taqing”.

After playing with Taqing for a while, Qin Gui had some dinner and went to bed early. She was drained from this trip and fell asleep almost as soon as she closed her eyes.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

“This slave will be right over!”

Du Ruo hurried off. Qin Gui was just about to head to the pergola when a voice called out to her. “Third Young Mistress Qin”.

Qin Gui looked towards the source of the voice.

About seven or eight paces away, a tall girl of fifteen or sixteen was walking towards her. She was a beautiful girl wearing fitted red riding clothes that gave her a heroic look, the golden threads glimmering under the sunlight.

She walked with such confidence that her body was releasing a unique arrogance of a proud daughter of heaven.

Qin Gui recognized her. She was County Princess Ying Luo.

Ying Luo was followed by four or five other noblewomen who surrounded her like stars around a moon.

Qin Gui greeted County Princess Ying Luo and asked, “What do you need of me, Princess?”

Ying Luo looked her up and down. When she first saw her at Yinghua Court, she thought she was a bold and sharp-tongued bumpkin from the countryside.

Unexpectedly, this Qin Gui was quite venomous!

Ying Luo sneered and shot her cold darting eyes at Qin Gui, questioning, “Why did you frame Sister Xin?!”

Qin Xin was supposed to become the Second Princess Consort, but she was reduced to a concubine in an instant. This was not something that could be hidden in the capital, so of course Ying Luo found out about it as well.
