“I don’t deny that I used to be in love with His Royal Highness, but I fancy someone else now.” Dugu Yamo smiled.
Tao Qingqing didn’t believe her. “How can you like someone else after you’ve been in love with His Royal Highness? Dugu Yamo, you must be lying! So tell me, who’s that person?”
“It’s Feng Wu.” Dugu Yamo grinned.
Tao Qingqing almost choked on her own spit. “That’s not funny!”
Dugu Yamo stopped joking. She looked at Tao Qingqing and asked seriously, “Do you want to know the real Feng Wu?”
Tao Qingqing frowned. “Do you know what she’s really like?”
Dugu Yamo asked, “Do you want to hear the story of how she was trapped in the tombs and how she fought against all odds and succeeded in the end?”
Tao Qingqing was intrigued. “Tell me everything!”
…
“Wow! Really?! She’s so smart!
“Noooo! She turned a maid into an Ultimate Yin Body, you said? That’s so rare! Of course everyone will try to recruit her!
“What?! Even that useless Duan Chaoge is a genius now? OMG!
“Did you say that Feng Wu spoke back to His Majesty?!
“What?! Feng Wu…”
Tao Qingqing kept crying out in surprise and making all kinds of exclamations.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Zuo was having a difficult time.
Mrs. Tao asked a subtle question when she greeted Mrs. Zuo. “Will we be seeing His Royal Highness today? I had the pleasure to meet him once in the Gu family. I would be so honored to see the crown prince again.”
Mrs. Zuo recalled what Zuo Qingluan told her.
Zuo Qingluan said that she had personally sent another invitation to the crown prince, so he would definitely be here.
All the noble ladies around them looked in their direction when Mrs. Tao asked the question.
Most of them had decided to e here today because of the crown prince.
The rumor outside was that the crown prince was deeply in love with Zuo Qingluan, so they all wanted to see that side of Jun Linyuan.
Mrs. Zuo forced a smile and said, “Qingluan wrote the invitation herself, and His Royal Highness replied in person, saying that he would be here to celebrate Qingluan’s birthday. You know how busy His Royal Highness is. I’m sure he’s still working right now.”
“That’s right. State affairs are more important.”
“I’m sure His Royal Highness will be here once he’s free. Maybe he’s already seeing the sacred lady in her room now. Hahaha —”
…
Once the subject was diverted, Mrs. Zuo quickly went outside. She grabbed Granny Tao and asked in a low, fierce voice, “Is His Royal Highness here yet?”
Granny Tao had been waiting outside the front gate the whole time. She shook her head anxiously. “Not yet.”
“Then… Has Young Lord Feng arrived?” asked Mrs. Zuo.
Feng Xun was the crown prince’s best buddy. Having him here would be the next best thing.
Granny Tao still shook her head. “I don’t see him either.”
“What about Young Lord Xuan?”
