Ch.200 Scolding (1)
Early the next morning, Empress Wei reprimanded Yingluo.
Hence, everyone in the hunting palace got to know that the third princess Changning and Princess Yingluo had fought over some issue, and Yingluo scratched Changning's face in the midst of it.
Of course, Qin Jiu heard about the incident.
Qin Jiu woke up late in the morning, and got to know about this from Du Ruo.
"Maiden, do you reckon that Princess Yingluo was really the one who scratched the third princess’s face?"
Du Ruo’s face brightened with interest. From her point of view, the two of them deserved it. If they hadn't nursed evil intentions plotted against each other, and even tried to hurt her lady, things wouldn’t have ended this way!
Two words could be used to sum up her current mood: Extremely delighted!
Along with a few more words: Serves them right!
"I don't think so." Qin Jiu casually chatted along with Du Ruo as she ate a bowl of millet porridge, "Yingluo does sound ruthless, and she speaks and acts arrogantly, but in fact, she was far from how cruel and unscrupulous the third princess was. "
She heard that the group of BaiXi performers came from the Western Regions!
After she was done with her meal, Qin Jiu put on a primrose-colored riding outfit, and brought her Taqing to the hunting platform. Du Ruo was quick-witted and didn’t follow along.
From a distance, she saw that Gu Zezhi was waiting under a few red pine trees. His white horse was leisurely munching on some grass on its own, and occasionally stomped its hooves.
The red pines were rough and tough, as if they were reaching towards the sky with high spirits, which formed a sharp contrast with the elegant and sweet Gu Zezhi.
"Come over here."
Gu Zezhi beckoned to Qin Jiu, and Qin Jiu trotted over happily.
The cloak that was hung on Gu Zezhi's right arm, he naturally placed it around her.
Qin Jiu looked up and smiled at him, she didn’t wasn’t to trouble her golden thigh, and quickly tightened the belt of the cloak by herself.
After putting the cloak around her, her whole body warmed up, and she urged impatiently: "We better go now, Linpu Town is about a dozen miles away from here."
Her eyes were shining, and she was about to mount the horse as she stepped on the stirrup.
When she hopped on the horse, the cloak was somewhat of a hindrance. Gu Zezhi lifted the back of the cloak for her, then whistled, and his white horse came running over to him.
As soon as Gu Zezhi got on his horse, he heard a commotion coming from the forest, with the frantic sound of horse hooves.
Both Qin Jiu and Gu Zezhi, with the lead ropes in hand, looked back subconsciously.
