Gu Nansheng stared at the two of them. She finally identified that indescribable feeling she felt inside. This Gu Yun looked like Feng Tianlan at first glance. When Gu Nansheng stared at her closely, she realized it was only her face and profile were similar. Her bearing was no match for Feng Tianlan’s.
The Beiqi Emperor scolded Gu Nansheng in a deep voice, “Yun’er has been saluting you for half a day, yet you are still ignoring her. There isn’t an elder sister in the world as rude as you.”
Gu Nansheng snapped out of her reverie. She looked at Gu Yun who stood in a half-bent position. She seemed unsteady on her feet as if she had been in that position for a long time. But actually, it was merely two seconds.
Did she get all shaky just from that? What terrific acting skills!
“If Father didn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have known she is my sister. I thought she was one of your many concubines. Only Father’s concubines salute Sheng’er in such a way.”
“Yun’er called you Eldest Sister, didn’t you hear?” the Beiqi Emperor scolded Gu Nansheng. He helped Gu Yun up.
Gu Nansheng glanced arrogantly at Gu Yun, who remained silent. “Younger Sister looks weak, and her voice was like that of a mosquito. Sheng’er didn’t really hear it.”
“You—”
Gu Yun, who was being led away, said immediately, “Father, Eldest Sister has been traveling all day, she must be tired. Don’t get angry with her.”
The Beiqi Emperor snorted. “You see? This is how a princess should behave. You must work harder—”
His words were cut off. No one knew what the Beiqi Emperor had been about to say.
“Why is a man coming out from Eldest Princess’s palanquin?” The imperial noble consort caught sight of Feng Tianlan, who dressed like a man, and couldn’t wait to expose Gu Nansheng.
After hearing those words, everyone couldn’t help but stare at Feng Tianlan. Her white shirt was wrapped around a waist that was slimmer than a lady’s. Her alluring beauty and cold gaze made her look like a deity. They couldn’t help but be enamored by her.
Such a good-looking man!
The imperial noble consort realized no one paid any attention to the implications of what she had said. They were busy oogling Feng Tianlan. She forced a smile. “Eldest Princess is going to get married soon. Bringing a gigolo home in front of everyone will give a bad impression.”
A princess who was engaged and about to get married actually hid a man in her palanquin! This was something that even the open-minded Beiqi Nation couldn’t accept.
“I have heard about the princess’s profligacy previously. Right now, I think I’ve seen everything.”
“That gigolo is really good looking. He is definitely the prettiest man in the world. I wonder if the princess is bringing him to Evanesce City as her dowry.”
“Hehe… Since she brought him here so openly, she must have planned it. I think she has deep affections for this gigolo.”
Gu Nansheng looked at the concubines crowded around the imperial noble consort, murmuring all these unpleasant things to each other. She swept the wisps of hair from her forehead behind her ear.
Before she could move, Azurite was beside Feng Tianlan in a flash. Right after she appeared, there were startling sounds of claps and bangs.
“Who are you to slander my master?” Azurite stood beside Feng Tianlan once again. She looked down at the concubines who were kneeling on the floor with their hair accessories hanging crookedly over their heads. Her attack had been swift and very loud.
“You…you dared to attack the emperor’s concubines. You—”
“And you.” Azurite stretched her hand and grabbed the imperial noble consort’s finger which was pointed at her. With some force, she broke the imperial noble consort’s finger.
“Ah!” The imperial noble consort screamed.
Before she could finish her scream, Azurite stretched out her other hand and started slapping the imperial noble consort across the face.
Looking at this fierce side of Azurite, Gu Nansheng told Feng Tianlan, “Azurite is much better than Chuling.”
