Chapter 51: Princess Xiaogui

Tang Chuyao secretly pondered, Gu Qingchen was truly wealthy!

Chartering such a flower boat must have cost a lot of silver, right?

He really had a lot of money and power!

“Your Highness is truly wealthy!” Tang Chuyao exclaimed with a sigh.

Gu Qingchen looked at Tang Chuyao’s profile. Did the little girl like money?

Well, he was considered one of the wealthiest people in the capital!

Even the Qiongxiao Tower earlier was his property!

Just as Gu Qingchen was pondering whether to tell Tang Chuyao how much wealth he actually possessed, a clear female voice rang out, “Your Highness?”

Tang Chuyao was also very curious. Who was it? They were so bold, daring to call out to Gu Qingchen in public.

Soon, Night Illusion came in to report, “Your Highness, it’s Princess Xiaogui who wants to see you.”

Gu Qingchen’s voice was cold, “Any Tom, Dick, or Harry wants to see this King? Do I have to see them all?”

Night Wind knew that his King was truly angry, but there was nothing he could do. He said with a stiff smile, “Your Highness, the Princess said she wouldn’t leave unless she saw you…”

Gu Qingchen looked at Night Illusion with even more impatience, “Go back and receive thirty lashes!”

He had no sense of discernment at all!

Night Illusion was heartbroken. He finally understood why Night Wind hadn’t come in to report earlier.

Xiaogui? Gu Qingchen’s top admirer! And she was of noble status! The daughter of the King of Nanyang, a princess personally bestowed by the Emperor!

When the Emperor was vying for the throne, the King of Nanyang had exerted all his efforts! So after the Emperor ascended the throne, he gave the King of Nanyang the fiefdom of Jiangnan.

Jiangnan was prosperous and had beautiful scenery. It was a good place!

Xiaogui’s admiration for Gu Qingchen was probably known throughout Daqi!

In the past, Xiaogui had been very hostile towards her. Tang Chuyao had been puzzled, but now she finally found the answer!

Xiaogui was highly favored by the Emperor, arrogant and domineering, and a difficult person to deal with!

Tang Chuyao felt a headache coming on. She didn’t want to offend Xiaogui, after all, with her current status, she was just a young lady from the dilapidated Wen Yong Marquis’ mansion.

Thinking about this, Tang Chuyao immediately glared at Gu Qingchen. It was all because of him that she had been bullied by Xiaogui many times in the past. Even after she married Gu Huaifeng, Xiaogui still disliked her and often publicly humiliated her at events like flower viewing gatherings!

Gu Qingchen wasn’t angry when Tang Chuyao glared at him. Instead, he suspected that the little girl was jealous?

She must be angry about his rotten peach blossoms!

Thinking about this, Gu Qingchen suddenly felt that Xiaogui’s arrival was timely. He would let the little girl help him deal with these peach blossoms.

After all, she was his future princess, so it was only right!

Gu Qingchen said, “Let the Princess in!”

Night Illusion was a little surprised. His King always avoided the Princess, why was he letting her in this time?

But he didn’t think much of it and immediately left to carry out the order.

Wait! Tang Chuyao suddenly realized that she had overlooked a very important point, which was that Xiaogui knew in her previous life that Gu Qingchen liked her, so she was so hostile towards her!

When did Xiaogui find out that Gu Qingchen liked her?

Tang Chuyao remembered that in her previous life, Gu Qingchen’s attitude towards Xiaogui was very bad. Once, she happened to see Xiaogui confessing her feelings to Gu Qingchen in the street. Gu Qingchen said calmly, “This King already has someone he likes. I hope the Princess will not pester him in the future!” Then he turned and left, his back resolute.

Tang Chuyao had thought that Gu Qingchen was indeed being disrespectful to the Princess. At the time, she had felt sorry for Xiaogui. Could it be that Xiaogui started investigating Gu Qingchen’s beloved at that time?

But now wasn’t the time to think about this. Tang Chuyao was a little annoyed.

What kind of play was Gu Qingchen trying to put on?

They were going to enjoy a boat trip together, and he was letting that crazy woman in? Wasn’t he clearly telling Xiaogui about her existence?

Tang Chuyao was very unhappy. She grabbed Gu Qingchen’s collar and questioned him, “Your Highness already has me, why are you still thinking about the flowers outside?”

Suddenly, a crimson whip lashed towards Tang Chuyao. Gu Qingchen pulled Tang Chuyao into his arms and took a few steps back, dodging the whip.

Gu Qingchen glared at Xiaogui. He regretted it. He shouldn’t have used this crazy woman to test the little girl!

“How dare you! You can’t touch this King’s people!”

Xiaogui looked at Gu Qingchen with a wronged expression. She pointed at Tang Chuyao and asked, “Who is she?”

Tang Chuyao felt like the legitimate wife catching her husband cheating, and she was like someone having an affair with another man!

Xiaogui loved the color red. She was wearing a flamboyant crimson brocade robe, with exquisite golden patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs, showcasing her noble status as a princess.

Her long hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, tied up casually with a golden hairpin. Sparkling gems adorned her hair, shimmering with dazzling brilliance.

She held the red whip she had just swung in her hand, looking at Tang Chuyao with malice and disdain. Her slender willow eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes were as cold as stars, her red lips were like fire, with a hint of disdain.

“You dare to be disrespectful to the Regent King! You’re asking for death!”

Tang Chuyao suddenly leaned against Gu Qingchen’s embrace as if she had no bones, reaching out to hook Gu Qingchen’s neck. She looked at Xiaogui with a sideways glance, challenging her, “Your Highness, the Princess is so fierce, am I afraid?”

Xiaogui was so angry she wanted to spit blood. She wanted to tear Tang Chuyao apart. Her cold eyes scanned Tang Chuyao up and down. This woman had a graceful figure, and her true face was hidden behind a veil. Her eyes were sparkling and alluring, extremely captivating!

“Where did you come from, you lowly prostitute? How dare you seduce the King?”

Tang Chuyao looked up at Gu Qingchen, her hands around Gu Qingchen’s neck pulled his head down, her voice soft and sweet, “Your Highness~ She insulted me!”

Gu Qingchen was almost captivated by Tang Chuyao’s soft voice. He lowered his voice and said to her ear, gritting his teeth, “Little vixen, you want to take this King’s life!”

Gu Qingchen finally understood what it meant to pick up a rock and hit his own foot!

He was enjoying it, but he was also suffering. The little girl had never been so alluring before. He really wanted to hide her away and keep her all to himself!

Suddenly, Gu Qingchen looked at Xiaogui beside him and instantly found her extremely annoying.

Especially the whip in her hand. Gu Qingchen reached out and used his internal energy to pull the whip in Xiaogui’s hand towards him through the air.

The moment the whip left her hand, it turned into a pile of dust. Gu Qingchen’s face was terrifyingly gloomy. When he looked at Xiaogui, she unconsciously took a few steps back, her face full of shock.

“If the Princess is so disrespectful again next time, she will be like this whip!”

Xiaogui’s eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Gu Qingchen with a heartbroken expression, “Are you so heartless to me, Your Highness?”

Gu Qingchen didn’t look at her again. Instead, he ordered Night Illusion, “See her out!”

Xiaogui tried to step forward, but Night Illusion stopped her. Xiaogui looked at Night Illusion with eyes that seemed to be laced with poison.

“If you dare to touch this Princess, this Princess will chop off your hand!”

Night Illusion didn’t know what to do for a moment. He could only reluctantly stand in front of Xiaogui.

Xiaogui shouted at Gu Qingchen, “Your Highness, I am a princess, how can I be inferior to a prostitute?”

Gu Qingchen was about to get angry, but Tang Chuyao spoke up, “Since the Princess admires Your Highness, why don’t we have a contest?”

“If I lose, I will no longer pester Your Highness.”

As soon as Tang Chuyao finished speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her waist. Gu Qingchen looked at Tang Chuyao, his eyes seemed to be on fire!
