"Bifu, you are not in good health, so don't come out to pick me up." With a smile on her face, Concubine Qin also walked quickly to meet her sister-in-law and best friend.
The two met on the steps under the gate of the Princess Mansion, and they clasped their hands, feeling very good.
"How is your health these few days, do you need me to see the imperial physician?" The eldest princess looked nervously at Concubine Qin up and down.
Concubine Qin smiled and said, "No, I'm in good health, not to mention there is Qianxue by my side, you don't know, Qianxue's medical skills are even more exquisite than the imperial physician." As she spoke, she pointed at Gu Qianxue behind her.
Gu Qianxue was about to greet the Eldest Princess, but saw the Eldest Princess's fair face, her eyes that were smiling like crescent moons immediately burst into coldness, and her sinister eyes looked at Gu Qianxue fiercely.
In that gaze, there was guard, disgust, and even a kind of disdain like looking down on the mud on the ground.
Gu Qianxue's body trembled subconsciously, and then hurriedly paid her respects.
Concubine Qin naturally noticed everything, squeezed the eldest princess's hand, and complained a little in her gentle voice, "Bifu, be gentle, don't scare the child."
Gu Qianxue lowered her head, suddenly had a bad feeling, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
The eldest princess sneered, and stared disdainfully at Gu Qianxue who bowed her head in front of her, "Your name is Gu Qianxue? I ask you, are you afraid?"
What else could Gu Qianxue say? She didn't even raise her head, "I'm not afraid of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, and the disdain in her eyes became heavier, "Aren't you afraid? Heh, you're not so brave."
"..." Gu Qianxue was speechless, the eldest princess and she were like class enemies, how could she be accepted as a righteous daughter like Qin Fei said? Can I choose now? If I can choose, the eldest princess is the Virgin Mary, and she doesn't want to have any contact with the princess.
Concubine Qin was also very embarrassed. She had explained in the letter that she asked the eldest princess to help her and smoothed her situation. Who would have thought that the eldest princess who was always obedient to her would be like an angry cat when she saw Gu Qianxue? So-so.
At the same time, Concubine Qin turned her head and looked at Gu Qianxue inquisitively. This girl is both beautiful and kind, so why doesn't the eldest princess like it
The eldest princess didn't want to let Gu Qianxue go at all, "You come to answer me, why are you not afraid? Don't tell me you have the backing of Concubine Qin, so you have nothing to fear?"
"..." Gu Qianxue was speechless.
Concubine Qin was startled, and hurriedly whispered, "Bifu, what happened to you today? Have you met before?"
"Tell me, are you dumb?" the eldest princess asked viciously.
"..." Gu Qianxue really wanted to turn around and leave, but she really suffered a big loss if she was greedy for petty gains. She shouldn't take advantage of today's bargains! But helpless, I could only bite the bullet and said, "Returning to the eldest princess, Minnv is not dumb, and it's not that Minnv is not afraid, but she is just used to imperial deterrence."
"Heh, besides this palace, which royal person do you have contact with?" The eldest princess' tone was full of disdain, because she thought that person was the prince in her heart, after all, the two had a verbal engagement.
"As for Princess Chang, it's His Royal Highness Li Wang." Gu Qianxue said.
"That's right, I have dealt with Qianxue before." Concubine Qin hurriedly smoothed things over, "Don't be at the door, if you have anything to say, let's go in and talk."
The eldest princess finally let Gu Qianxue go, and the group walked towards the princess mansion. Gu Qianxue secretly groaned in her heart, and the servants around her were also cautious in speaking, for fear of offending the eldest princess.
The Princess Mansion has a vast territory, and the architectural style is extremely luxurious. There are many small bridges and flowing water, and the pavilions are beautiful.
Compared with the Princess Mansion, Prince Li's Mansion is a bit shabby. Although it is much better than the Gu Mansion, compared with the Princess Mansion, it is very simple.
In the main hall, the Eldest Princess and Concubine Qin were chatting, more often than not, for example, what happened in the capital, for example, which official woman was betrothed to the royal family, and so on.
Gu Qianxue waited beside the two of them, not even daring to sit down.
Concubine Qin was also very surprised by her friend's reaction, she really didn't understand why the Eldest Princess didn't like Gu Qianxue, and racked her brains to say good things for Qianxue. "Bifu, have you ever heard of the Bilin Lake Douyi painting? It was drawn by Qianxue."
"So?" The eldest princess gave Gu Qianxue a cold look.
"..." Gu Qianxue really wanted to know where she had offended the eldest princess, she was even more wronged than Dou E.
The eldest princess' attitude made Concubine Qin very embarrassed, "So... I want Qianxue to draw a picture of you." At this moment, Concubine Qin didn't know whether she was right or wrong.
I saw that the eldest princess glanced at Gu Qianxue coldly, "If that's the case, let's draw."
"..." Gu Qianxue really wanted to run away, if it wasn't for Concubine Qin's face, she would just say a few words to the eldest princess, so what
For the sake of Concubine Qin, Gu Qianxue swallowed her anger, "Yes, Your Royal Highness, but the daughters of the people still need some special materials, hard paper and charcoal pencils."
The Eldest Princess snorted obviously, "I haven't painted yet, there are so many things to do, go get ready." Saying this, she impatiently made a gesture to the maid who was serving beside her, and the maid stepped forward, attracting attention. After Gu Qianxue left, she prepared the materials.
After Gu Qianxue left, Concubine Qin finally couldn't help it anymore, "Bifu, did you have conflicts with Qianxue before?"
The eldest princess said, "No, I have never seen it before."
"Since I haven't seen it before, why are you like this?" Concubine Qin was anxious, her gentle face was full of anxiety.
The eldest princess didn't know how to answer her friend, and even pinned the conflict on Gu Qianxue, hating her in her heart.
But to her friends, the eldest princess is still very friendly. Contrary to her previous cold and arrogance, the eldest princess's smile is full of kindness, "What's wrong with me? Isn't I always like that?"
Concubine Qin frowned and shook her head, "Bifu, you can't hide it from me. Why are you dissatisfied with Qianxue? If you really don't like her, then let me accept her as a foster daughter."
Seeing that her friend was upset, the eldest princess hurriedly said, "Wan Qing, please don't say that, I just tell you the truth, I..." After speaking, the eldest princess paused, her eyes lowered her head sadly, "If I have Heir, naturally he is willing to accept Gu Qianxue as a righteous daughter, but I don't. This righteous daughter is like a thorn in my wound, making me no longer able to deceive myself, so how can I have a good face towards her?"
Only then did Concubine Qin suddenly realize, "From this point of view, it's my fault. I didn't consider it from your point of view. Bifu, I apologize to you. I made things difficult for others."
"No, no, Wan Qing, don't say that." The eldest princess hurriedly grabbed Concubine Qin's hand, "I'm the one who's wrong! You just recovered, but I made you angry. It's my fault. Gu Qianxue, I'll accept it. Really, I took it."
When the two were arguing, Gu Qianxue had already returned with the maid, holding the painting utensils she had found.
"Now that you have brought it, let's start painting." Because of what she said just now, the Eldest Princess finally became more amiable, "It's just that I can't just paint my palace, but also include our sisters."
