Ch.185 Marriage alliance with Beiyan (2)
Gu Zezhi was about to get one to try. However, at this moment, a middle-aged servant hurriedly walked over, smiled and greeted Gu Zezhi, "Third Prince Gu, the emperor wants to see you.”
So Gu Zezhi left with the middle-aged servant.
Qin Jiu was left alone, she stared at her empty right palm, as her eyes twitched.
He took all her pine nut candy with him!!
So, did he just steal from her?!
Qin Jiu, who had lost a whole bag of candy, had to head to the stables first to take care of Taqing, before heading back to Luqin Court.
Qin Jiu sat down in front of her dressing table, as Du Ruo combed her hair into a double flat bun hairstyle, then picked two garnet beads as accessories, finally she placed a white jade ring that had a phoenix carved into it on the side of her waist.
Qin Jiu stroked her skirt and was about to leave. She then picked up the emerald green parrot on her dressing table and attached it on her waist.
Du Ruo watched silently from the side, even if she didn't ask, she could guess where it came from, she exclaimed in her heart: Her future husband is so caring!
Qin Jiu noticed that it was almost time, and headed towards the Diecui Courtyard with Du Ruo.
The sun was setting, placing a layer of golden red gauze on the magnificent hunting palace.
Along the way, they saw many ladies that were also going in the same direction as them, walking in pairs or groups as they chatted along happily.
While leading the way, Du Ruo smiled and started to talk about the small banquet tonight: "My lady, tonight’s banquet will be very lively. Not only will there be performances, there will also be many games to play, such as Touhu, Chuiwan, Shefu, Mushe, Shuanglu......" Du Ruo said while counting with her fingers.
Qin Jiu was somewhat distracted. She was not interested in what Du Ruo was talking about. She beckoned to Du Ruo and asked in a low voice, "Can I leave early?"
Du Ruo was taken aback, then eagerly leaned into Qin Jiu's ear as she whispered, "You can slip out quietly later."
Qin Jiu was delighted as she snickered, and exchanged a gaze with Du Ruo. The master and servant pair continued their walk.
When Qin Jiu arrived at Diecui Courtyard, many people were already here, the atmosphere was pretty lively.
