Gu Ruxue looked extremely arrogant. She had been immersed in an air of arrogance.
She had been anxious and furious about what was going to happen today, but after seeing that she was able to bring the phoenix out, she had lost all of her fury and anxiety.
She had thought that a phoenix was a rare thing, but the bird came because of one single song.
Well, Gu Chaoyan did not have to be so proud anyway, right?
She even spread the news so that those civilians would all believe that there was something special about her.
Gu Ruxue laughed disdainfully, then she said, “Ming, make some arrangement, bring those noble ladies to Lord Ling’s mansion for some tea. They should come and check out the blooming begonias at Lord Ling’s Mansion.”
Speaking of begonias
Gu Ruxue had been wearing a very proud expression on her face.
She liked begonias, but the begonias were all removed because of the allergy.
However, after she came to Lord Ling’s Mansion, which was big enough for her to open a small garden, where begonias were planted after Lord Ling heard that she loved begonias. So she could just take a look at the begonias when they were blooming, whilst avoiding getting close to the flowers
personally.
That was what she was proud of, so she wanted others to have a look at them.
And she was also going to make them see that not only Gu Chaoyan could bring the phoenix out. She could even say that Gu Chaoyan stole the trick from her to be able to call the phoenix.
That was something to be arranged. Gu Ruxue was not in a hurry. She just asked Ming to arrange the banquet.
“Also, you should also spread what happened at Lord Ling’s Mansion today, as widely as possible,” Gu Ruxue said.
Hearing her words Ming nodded. She showed a very discreet expression on her face. “Princess Consort, don’t worry, I will do that now.”
Gu Ruxue nodded, put away the flute and nodded as she sat down.
‘When Zhou Huailing arrived, he ran into Ming and understood that she was leaving for an errand, so he sat down in front of Gu Ruxue.
He looked very gentle.
Zhou Huailing was always so gentle when he was in a good mood. He looked like a gentleman.
Seeing that Gu Ruxue was eating pastry, he even said in a flattering tone, “If you like pastry so much, I can ask Xie Yan to get a good cook from the South. We don’t need to buy pastries any more, The cook can make whatever you want for you.”
Gu Ruxue’s eyes brightened. She was not that much into pastry.
The Gu Family were not from the capital originally, so they did not care much about pastry, so they did not make efforts in pastry, but she had been to the court before, and those beautiful-looking pastries were offered to the noble people whereas she, as the lady from the Gu Family, just could not have.
Therefore, she had always liked those beautiful-looking pastries.
She hoped that one day, she would be able to offer endless pastry. Now she was the Princess Consort and she was able to have anything she wanted either in the court or in the mansion, but Lord’s new offer was different.
“Thank you, Lord,” Gu Ruxue said as she tugged at Zhou Huailing’s sleeves. She looked very pleased and bashful.
Zhou Huailing was glad too. He took hold of Gu Ruxue’s hands. “One more thing, I need to borrow your music for something.”
“For what?” Gu Ruxue asked cautiously..
