Make Sure to Destroy the Evidence
Imperial Consort Xian had always been good at picking up on Emperor Ning’s feelings and knew that he had taken an interest in Yu Fu, thus she took the initiative to call her over.
She truly had not spent over two decades at his side for nothing. She had also given birth to the eldest prince. She was even better at understanding him than Emperor Ning’s most trusted aide.
Yu Fu stepped forward on the red carpet of soft velvet. In front of the members of the imperial family, she was very steady.
Even with her young age, she maintained a poised and dignified pace but also was not lacking in the gentleness of a young girl. Imperial Consort Xian could not stop herself from nodding with a smile.
This was a young girl who could withstand the pressure of large scenes. She ought to be born from some noble family and was definitely not just some girl from the wilderness.
“Good girl, look at your cheeks. They’re so pretty! Your Majesty, look, doesn’t she look a little like Princess DanYang from when she was little?”
Her hand passed by the necklace on Yu Fu’s neck and paused for a moment then brushed past it without leaving a trace.
Yu Fu stood next to her very naturally, allowing her to continue with her praise.
Imperial Consort Xian had brought up Princess DanYang with good intentions. In her eyes, this both praised Yu Fu and praised Princess DanYang.
One was Lord Marquis Gu’s beloved adopted daughter, and the other was Emperor Ning’s most beloved daughter. It was more than suitable to bring them up in the same breath.
Emperor Ning, however, shook his head with a smile, “DanYang was not as pretty as Yu Fu when she was little, nor was she was eloquent. In the end, Marquis Gu has good fortune. Such a beautiful daughter fell from the heavens, and it would be great if one fell next to Us!”
These words were partially goodwill towards Gu HuaiJiang and one partially his true feelings. He did indeed have a pretty good impression of Yu Fu.
Good impressions are often made during the first meeting. This often hinged on a strange type of affinity.
As for Yu Fu, she had this sort of ability that could have anyone who saw her feel a type of connection. They could not stop themselves from liking her. This was likely because…
She was born exceptionally beautiful!
Princess DanYang was seated further down, and her heart was filled with displeasure!
She was the princess. Among all of the girls in Eastern Ling, she was the noblest, yet Emperor Ning actually compared her to a girl of unclear origins, and he even said that she was not as beautiful as Yu Fu?
It was all that old hag, Imperial Consort Xian, who led her father Emperor to say those things!
Something small and white flashed past her eyes and gave Princess DanYang a fright. Only then did she realize that the second prince was eating some seeds and had tossed one past her field of view to remind her to smile.
He was relatively clear-minded. If Princess DanYang still wished to marry Gu ShuBai, she could not afford to reveal the slightest bit of discontent towards Yu Fu.
She hastily hid her unhappy expression and looked up with a smile and threw a playful tantrum at Emperor Ning.
“Father Emperor likes Yu Fu. Could it be that you no longer like this daughter? Daughter doesn’t accept!”
Emperor Ning had a pampered daughter, and he would often chat and laugh with her to alleviate his stress. It would also allow him to spend his later years in comfort.
He burst out laughing and allowed Yu Fu to return to her seat. He then turned to Gu ShuBai’s group and said: “You should also return to your seats. As for young miss Liu, forget it. We are in a good mood today and will not blame you. But as a girl, you should be discreet in word and action. In the future, We hope to never see another person misbehave so badly.”
Liu RuYi heard that he was in a good mood and thought that she had escaped this trial, but who knew that the latter half of Emperor Ning’s message would nearly drop her to her knees.
The meaning behind those words was that he no longer wished to see her. She could no longer enter the palace…
Minister of the Ministry of Appointments, Liu Zhen, hastily stood up and expressed his thanks to Emperor Ning then had people take Liu RuYi out of the hall.
He knew that this daughter of his had been ruined.
Of the families in the capital with influence, none would want to take in a girl who could not enter the palace, much less a family like Marquis Gu’s Manor.
“Eldest brother, will young miss Liu no longer be allowed into the palace?”
Yu Fu sat next to Gu ShuBai and quietly asked him. It seemed that she had not considered things on a deeper level.
Gu ShuBai faintly agreed, “Regardless of the setting, she spoke disrespectfully towards you. This is the outcome that she deserves. Even if His Majesty did not punish her today, I would not allow her to live happily.”
Yu Fu said: “But that vase of green chrysanthemums, I actually…”
Gu ShuBai gave her a look to cut her off, no longer allowing her to continue. He then pulled out something that reflected a silver light and secretly handed it to her.
“I know that you did it. You did very well, but you need to pay attention next time to destroy the evidence.”
The thing with the silver reflection was one of Yu Fu’s silver needles.
Liu RuYi had indeed not fallen with enough force to knock off all of the petals. It only happened because Yu Fu threw out a needle.
At that time, he had been standing at a distance of ten paces and noticed Yu Fu’s actions. That was why he did not step forward to help.
Since she herself could act, there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.
Yu Fu thought for a bit but did not reach out to accept the silver needle, “Eldest brother, you don’t blame me for being vicious and no longer giving her a chance to enter the palace?”
“Her no longer being able to enter the palace is a good thing. Think about the things that she said to you today. Such a frivolous and unreasonable person, if she ended up offending another noble person in the palace, it’s possible that she would die without leaving a corpse behind. You not letting her enter the palace actually saved her life.”
Yu Fu smiled widely.
It really was great that he was her eldest brother. Initially, she had been a little conflicted, wondering whether or not she had acted too severely and ruining Liu RuYi’s life.
Having been comforted by Gu ShuBai like this, she felt much better.
“I knew that you guys were standing nearby. Based on your martial abilities, you would definitely notice. If I didn’t fight back, you would need to act for my sake. I did not want to implicate you guys.”
She had a resolute expression, her eyes glimmering while looking at Gu ShuBai. Unswerving, every little thing blossomed in her eyes.
Gu ShuBai responded with a smile and reached out to pat her head.
However, while Emperor Ning had been chatting about something, his name had suddenly been brought up.
“Marquis Gu, We recall that your ShuBai has already become of age this year. JiuGe is also 19, right? The children have grown up and should get married.”
Gu ShuBai’s hands froze, and he quickly looked toward Gu HuaiJiang.
Had he not said that he had already refused the matter of marriage…
For His Majesty to bring up the matter of marriage in front of the members of the court and members of the imperial family, what were his intentions?
