1423 Third Lady 3
Gu Xiuying felt the coldness flying out of her. She lifted the blanket, got up and grabbed her dresses, with Third Concubine’s help.
When dressed, she put on makeup too.
Third Concubine helped with the makeup, rather than letting the maids do the work.
She knew that today was the time for them to have a different destiny in life. So they had to be cautious.
!!
She combed her hair and said, “Your father and the Crown Prince were talking with me in a very friendly tone, and the Crown Prince asked your father to fetch a brazier. Don’t worry, I think that you are going to have a very good life from this moment on!”
Gu Xiuying looked extremely impatient.
She would have thrown her temper at her mother if she had not needed her help with her hair.
This concubine was just slowing her down, she was totally useless.
When they were done with her hair and makeup, Gu Xiuying got up directly. She was not going to make someone as noble as the Crown Prince wait, especially for someone with a low status like her. She understood that point directly.
“Greetings, Crown Prince, and father.” Gu Xiuying greeted them both.
Gu Zhenkang was about to say something when Zhou Huailing stopped him. He helped Gu Xiuying up and said gently, “Third Lady, don’t worry about the greetings, come and sit with me.”
“…”
“Concubine just said that you are starving. I have asked the kitchen to prepare some food for you, is that fine? I will talk with you when you are done eating,” Zhou Huailing said gently, as if Gu Xiuying were one of his favorite consorts.
Gu Xiuying was extremely shocked.
She knew that something good must have happened, but she had not expected that the Crown Prince would treat her so nicely!
That was how the Crown Prince treated Gu Ruxue back then.
So…
Gu Xiuying did not dare continue to think about it.
“Crown Prince, just tell me directly what you need, I can’t let you wait,” Gu Xiuying mustered her courage and said.
Zhou Huailing smiled briefly.
He liked Gu Xiuying to this point.
Ruxue was a very arrogant person and always talked down to him. He tolerated her because she was considered to be the Phoenix Girl, but he never liked her personality.
However, the Third Lady seemed more gentle.
She knew who was more important.
He was very satisfied by that.
He helped the girl to his side, then he said, “Ruxue did a test at the door to enchantment, but she could not open it. Destiny Monk said that maybe she isn’t the Phoenix Girl. If she is not the Phoenix Girl, some other lady from the Gu Mansion might be, you are the only other choice. So, could you please, Third Lady, follow me to the imperial tombs and do the test?”
“…”
“If you are the one, Third Lady, you are going to have great responsibilities!”
What?
Gu Xiuying’s eyes widened.
She might be the Phoenix Girl?
Gu Ruxue wasn’t the one?
Well…
