Chapter 246

Misidentifying the Princess (Part Three)

The spring light was radiant and beautiful, and the four from Marquis Gu’s Manor set out on horseback and leisurely rode to the capital’s outskirts.

Gu JiuGe did not go, and Gu WenQing also did not go. He said that if a guest came to the manor, there would be nobody to receive them, and there would be nobody to help Gu HuaiJiang if he needed any help.

As the younger brother, he could not just drag Gu JiuGe out of the treasury, right?

As a result, he decided to stay in the manor to keep him company. While he was doing this, he would help watch the gate and receive any guests that came.

This left Yu Fu, Gu ShuBai, Gu Xiang, and Gu Yi, thus she decided not to ride in a carriage and rode a horse like the others. This made her feel quite pleased.

“Little Yu Fu, ride a little slower. Wait for me!”

Yu Fu rushed out like the wind, and Gu Yi hollered from the back, “Eldest brother is biased, giving Yu Fu such a good horse. It’s even faster than my Zhui Feng*!”

“You’d best forget about it quickly. You yourself are worse than her, so you blame Zhui Feng. When you can’t shit, do you blame the latrine?”

Gu Xiang pressed his horse ahead of Gu Yi’s, “Little Yu Fu’s horse is not better than your horse. She’s only been learning to ride for a short time, yet she’s already better than you. Why don’t you do a bit of reflecting?”

Saying this, he rushed ahead, leaving Gu Yi with just the sight of his horse’s butt.

“Eldest brother, look at how he’s bullying me!”

Gu ShuBai ignored him, “Ever since you were young, it’s always been you bullying fifth brother. How could he bully you? I’ll be going ahead. If you don’t catch up, you will be laughed at by others.”

Gu ShuBai also chased after Yu Fu, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Previously, the worst of the family at riding horses was Gu Yi. When Yu Fu, who did not know how to ride horses at all, came along, he finally managed to recover a bit of face.

While Yu Fu not learning to ride was normal, who knew how shocking it would be once she did. Her skill was on par with Gu ShuBai’s!

“Zhui Feng, put in a bit of effort for your master. Count this as me begging you!”

He whipped his horse’s butt, and Zhui Feng neighed before charging forward…

The four chased after one another. When they arrived at ChunHe Garden, many of the guests had not yet arrived.

“Princess, eldest young sir, and the other two young sirs, please come inside!”

Palace servants came out from inside to welcome them, leading their horses away, “Princess DanYang has already arrived and is currently chatting with the other guests inside. This servant will lead you over immediately.”

“I want to see the gardens around here.”

Yu Fu was in no rush to go inside. Looking at the garden across from ChunHe Garden, there was a round gate with a sign that had JingMing Garden written on it.

The spring air is calm and warm, and the waves are gentle.**

The names of these imperial gardens were really quite amusing, “I heard that there are a total of five gardens. What are the other three called?”

“Replying to princess, there are also HuiFeng Garden, HeChang Garden, and YueMei Garden. Of the five, ChunHe Garden is the best and most suited for viewing during spring. As for the other gardens, there are some more suited for summer viewing and winter viewing.”

It turned out that there was this layer of reasoning. Yu Fu nodded, “It’s no wonder Princess DanYang chose ChunHe garden. Since that’s the case, we won’t see any of the other gardens. Let’s go in.”

She was a princess but did not refer to Princess DanYang as sister. Instead, she just called her princess, which gave off a very distant feeling.

A light flickered in the servant’s eyes, as they quickly lowered their head, “Yes, please follow this servant.”

Knowing that Yu Fu would be coming, Princess DanYang was dressed particularly ceremoniously. Her dress was crimson with a vest embroidered with golden peonies.

Like the paintings of beauties from the Tang Dynasty, she was gorgeous and magnificent, the queen of the beauties.

With the arrival of the group from Marquis Gu’s Manor, everyone’s eyes turned to them. Yin JiYao looked at the group but did not see Gu JiuGe and felt quite disappointed.

Princess DanYang was even more disappointed.
