She liked the puppy? Gu Chaoyan looked at the dumb-looking puppy which was staring at her with a pair of large eyes. She did not like the puppy!
Zhou Huaijin was definitely going to laugh at her if she held the puppy. So she shook her head slightly and turned down the offer directly. “No… no thanks.”
Susu was confused – she just could not fathom what she said. So Lady Chaoyan did not like Seven? Then why was she staring at Seven? And Seven was so cute…
Seven looked at Seven and then at Lady Chaoyan. She said voluntarily, “Lady Chaoyan, you and Seven look alike.”
Hearing what Susu said, Zhou Huaijin, who had just drank a mouthful of tea, burst out and kept laughing constantly.
Susu thought for a while and insisted that she was totally right, but Gu Chaoyan truly had no interest in seeing that puppy any more.
If not for the Queen who was present, she would have given Zhou Huaijin a lesson! How annoying!
The Queen could not help but feel like laughing at seeing the scene, but she also got concerned about Chaoyan in this situation. So she said to Susu, “Alright, Susu, bring Seven away. They might look alike, but you guys should not have mentioned it!”
Gu Chaoyan had thought that the Queen was defending her, but hearing what she added at last, she simply felt helpless.
Why? Why did she look like that dumb-looking puppy?
After laughing loudly, Zhou Huaijin gave Gu Chaoyan a flattering smile.
Gu Chaoyan turned around, refusing to look at him.
The Queen, however, smiled brightly. Huaijin had been a very cold man after growing up, and the King barely came visiting Weiyang Palace due to his busy schedule. So most of the time, it was quite dull here at Weiyang Palace. Such a bustling scene was rarely seen.
The Queen wished very much that such a wonderful time would happen more often, so that she could at least feel happier.
Aunt Nan understood exactly what the Queen was thinking, so she said directly, “I will go and check if there is food ready in the kitchen, so that Lord and Lady Chaoyan can eat with us. It is not yet late, is it?”
The Queen selfishly hoped that they could eat with her, but she still looked at Gu Chaoyan, wondering if she was willing to do so. If she wasn’t that happy about eating with them, she would simply drop the idea.
Gu Chaoyan smiled and nodded. “Sure.”
People were always lonely in the court, so Gu Chaoyan thought that Zhou Huaijin should keep his mother company when he had the chance.
Aunt Nan smiled and went to the kitchen after Gu Chaoyan nodded at the proposal. It was already time for food. There were many chefs in the kitchen, so when Aunt Nan passed the order, they started to get ready instantly. The food was soon ready, and the three of them were chit chatting as they came to the table.
They were just about to eat, when the eunuch with a dry voice said loudly, “Princess Xunyang is here!”
A pink silhouette rushed in as the message was passed on. Seeing the table full of food, she said, “I am right on time!”
The Queen pulled Princess Xunyang down next to her.
“What are you doing here?”
As it was mentioned, Princess Xunyang said excitedly, “God I am here on time, or I will miss Chaoyan! I am not here visiting you, mother, I am talking with Chaoyan! She is barely in the court, so I might miss the chance if I don’t say a word now.”
