Chapter 53: Nine Heavens Mysterious Needle

Although Princess Xiaogui had been constantly making things difficult for her, she hadn’t actually done anything substantial to harm her!

Every time they met, she would say that Tang Chuyao was blind and foolish, that she was trying to curry favor with Gu Huaifeng, and that she was a disgrace.

Xiaogui was right. Tang Chuyao had been that stupid in her previous life.

So when Tang Chuyao proposed the contest, she hadn’t thought about harming Xiaogui.

She just wanted Xiaogui to know her place and back down.

But she hadn’t expected that hitting Xiaogui would make her go crazy.

After Xiaogui had finished laughing, Tang Chuyao blinked her eyes and asked with concern, “Princess, this Miss knows a little bit about medicine. Would you like me to take your pulse?”

Xiaogui shook her head. Her eyes no longer held any obsession with Gu Qingchen, but she made a request, “Can you take off your veil and let me see your face?”

Tang Chuyao thought about it for a moment. After all, Xiaogui didn’t know who she was, so it didn’t matter if she saw her face.

So she nodded and took off her veil.

The moment the veil was removed, a stunning face was revealed. Xiaogui was stunned!

Jiangnan had many beautiful women, but compared to this face that could topple a nation, they were simply too ordinary!

Her skin was as delicate as a flower petal, white as jade. Her nose was high and straight, her tip small and delicate. Her lips were moist and plump, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned. How could this woman be so beautiful?

Gu Qingchen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that the little girl’s appearance would definitely attract the opposite sex, but he didn’t expect it to attract the same sex!

He took a step forward, standing in front of Tang Chuyao, frowning and saying unhappily, “Since you’ve seen it, Princess, you should go back now!”

Xiaogui came back to her senses. This was the first time Gu Qingchen had looked at her directly, but she no longer felt any attraction. She thought Tang Chuyao was more beautiful!

“You’re such a stingy person!” she muttered, then turned around, covering her shoulder, and slowly walked away…

For some reason, Tang Chuyao felt that Gu Qingchen’s attitude towards Xiaogui was a bit bad. She couldn’t help but say, “Your Highness, don’t treat a girl like that!”

Gu Qingchen turned around to look at her, frowning and asking, “Have you seen any girl like her?”

Especially the way she looked at Tang Chuyao! What kind of look was that? Gu Qingchen’s annoyance with Xiaogui deepened

He had been annoyed before, but now he was disgusted!

Tang Chuyao put her hand to her forehead. She didn’t want to say anything more, so she walked to the window and looked at the other flower boats on the lake.

“Don’t you dare to leave?” Gu Qingchen looked at Night Illusion beside him with an unhappy expression.

Night Illusion touched his nose and immediately bowed and left.

He felt that he had been cursed lately and needed to go to the temple to pray for blessings…

Picking up a lantern from the side, Gu Qingchen walked to the window and hugged Tang Chuyao from behind.

“Are you going to release the lanterns?” His voice was deep and pleasant.

Tang Chuyao thought for a moment and said, “I’ll write down my wish first.”

“Okay!” Gu Qingchen let go of Tang Chuyao and took her hand to the table. There was ink and brush on the table.

“Your Highness, you go first!”

Gu Qingchen picked up the brush on the table and wrote a few words on the paper: May Yao’er have a safe and prosperous life!

Tang Chuyao felt a wave of warmth in her heart, but looking at Gu Qingchen’s handwriting, she felt strangely familiar.

These characters were the same as the characters on the plaque of Qiongxiao Tower!!

Then she thought of something and hurriedly asked, “Is Qiongxiao Tower Your Highness’s property?”

Gu Qingchen put down the brush and nodded, “Yes!”

“This King’s businesses are all over the capital!”

Gu Qingchen felt that he was quite imposing when he said these words!

The little girl must be completely smitten!

Tang Chuyao nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Wang the Manager needed to step up his game!

She thought she was the richest woman in the capital! She didn’t expect Gu Qingchen to be even richer than her!

Gu Qingchen waited for a long time but didn’t get the look of admiration from Tang Chuyao. He began to wonder if he had done something wrong.

Tang Chuyao picked up the brush and started writing. Her handwriting was neat and beautiful.

“May I become the richest person in the capital!” Gu Qingchen read aloud, looking at her with some confusion. Why was the little girl so eager for money?

There was also a hint of loneliness in his heart. He had thought she would write something related to him.

But it didn’t matter. He had already found the little girl, and they would have a lifetime to entwine…

“What’s mine is yours!”

“Your wish has already come true!” Gu Qingchen smiled at her.

To Gu Qingchen’s surprise, Tang Chuyao didn’t show the expected delight. Instead, she looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, “Then wouldn’t you become a pauper?”

Gu Qingchen thought Tang Chuyao was concerned about him, but her next words almost made him spit blood.

“Then can this Miss support you?”

Support him with his own money?

This little thing was really daring, huh?

Getting something for nothing, wanting a free ride?

Supporting the Regent King of Daqi? She was probably the first!

The first in Daqi!

If he didn’t teach her a lesson, she wouldn’t know how powerful he was!

Gu Qingchen grabbed Tang Chuyao’s chin and forced her to look at him.

He couldn’t bear to be cruel to this beautiful face that he longed for day and night!

He secretly mocked himself for being useless!

A pair of arms wrapped around his waist. Tang Chuyao didn’t show any fear at all, but instead, she hugged his waist!

His face instantly flushed red. Gu Qingchen felt like he was having trouble breathing. Was the person in front of him a fox spirit?

She had cast a spell on him, making his heart beat wildly.

“Your Highness, let’s go release the lanterns!” Tang Chuyao’s sweet voice came, with a hint of seduction. Gu Qingchen agreed without thinking. He realized later that he had been bewitched by the little girl. He had actually spoken so easily!

Gu Qingchen took Tang Chuyao’s hand and went to the deck. By this time, the boat had already reached the center of the lake.

The two of them released their lanterns onto the surface of the lake. As the lake waves rippled, the lanterns floated further and further away.

Other people’s lanterns were also floating on the surface of the lake, their twinkling lights illuminating the lake, flickering and slowly drifting away…

When Gu Qingchen sent Tang Chuyao back to her mansion, it was very late. He didn’t want to let the little girl leave. He really wanted to take her back to the palace immediately!

“This is what Master asked me to give you!” Gu Qingchen had a book in his hand.

Tang Chuyao saw the characters on the book and her eyes were filled with shock: Nine Heavens Mysterious Needle!

This was the secret manual of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Needle!!

Hua Wangshu had given it to her directly?!!!

Seeing the surprise and shock in her eyes, Gu Qingchen touched the top of her head and said with a smile, “Master asked you to take it, so take it!”

Tang Chuyao was deeply moved. Hua Wangshu was truly kind to her!

When Tang Chuyao returned to Luoying Pavilion, Dujian and Huang Xiaoyu had already come back. Tang Chuyao also gave Night Rain a day off, letting her go out and relax.

Night Rain didn’t want to go out, but she didn’t know what she was thinking, so she flew away and disappeared into the night.

After Tang Chuying got married, the mansion was indeed much quieter. At least no one was stupid enough to come and make Tang Chuyao unhappy.

The old lady in the mansion was also bedridden, so she didn’t have to go and greet her.

Tang Chuyao didn’t even want to pretend anymore. She simply locked herself in her courtyard and studied the Nine Heavens Mysterious Needle.
