Yun Qi furrowed his brow tightly.
Regarding this Lu Xi, he was not quite willing to see her.
Putting aside past events and the ambiguous entanglents between the forr Crown Prince Yun Qi and her, Yun Qi did not want to judge too much.
But now that he had co to this body, so matters needed to be cut off.
Now that he had his own Crown Princess Consort, he still needed to clarify things with Lu Xi, for her own good.
Yun Qi glanced at Gu Shengyin, just about to say he would go and have a look himself. But then he saw a figure in soft yellow gracefully walking towards them.
Yun Qi’s face imdiately darkened.
Those familiar with him would understand: Although Yun Qi is usually kind and an accommodating leader to his subordinates, that is only in private matters.
In terms of work, he is definitely a strict superior.
And now, he was very unhappy.
In his eyes, all these guards belong to The Crown Prince’s Mansion, and knowing well that the Crown Prince is enjoying the scenery with the Crown Princess Consort under orders not to let anyone else approach, yet they let Lu Xi in.
Completely lacking in professional competence!
While Yun Qi was fuming, Lu Xi had already walked over.
Two maids followed her, neither belonged to the palace’s maids, apparently already left from the Empress Dowager’s side.
"This servant girl greets Your Highness, the Crown Prince." She elegantly perford a courtesy to Yun Qi, her eyes, seemingly able to speak, looking at him with countless unspoken words hidden within.
She seed completely oblivious to Gu Shengyin who was by Yun Qi’s side.
Gu Shengyin leisurely took another sip of tea, was this a blatant show of defiance?
Upon entering, Lu Xi noticed Yun Qi’s less-than-pleasant expression.
She was unaware that Yun Qi was upset because of her, thinking instead that, like herself, he was unhappy about marrying Su Chaohua.
She felt a tinge of joy, and couldn’t resist glancing at Gu Shengyin.
With just one look, she was pained by the sight of the formal red outfit unique to a new bride on the other.
She was now Yun Qi’s Crown Princess Consort.
Su Chaohua lowered her head, resentfully thought: So what if she is the Crown Princess Consort, the one Yun Qi truly likes isn’t her!
Thinking this, she failed to notice that Yun Qi hadn’t even told her to rise.
Until Yun Qi’s cold voice ca down from above: "Is it the rule at the Pri Minister’s Residence that there’s no need to bow when seeing the Crown Princess Consort?"
Lu Xi looked at Yun Qi in shock, seemingly unable to believe he had just uttered such heartless words.
However, what she t was Yun Qi’s cold gaze.
In that gaze, there was not a trace of the warmth and gentleness she knew.
Lu Xi suddenly realized that sothing seed different.
Was it because of Su Chaohua?
Instinctively, she looked at Gu Shengyin, who had been sitting quietly to the side.
Gu Shengyin sat there leisurely, raising an eyebrow as she looked at her: "What? Does Miss Lu have any issue with this palace?"
"This servant girl wouldn’t dare." Lu Xi lowered her head, obediently perford a grand bow towards Gu Shengyin.
This ti, Yun Qi finally allowed her to rise.
Gu Shengyin looked at Lu Xi with a half-smile: "I wonder, Miss Lu, in such haste to co here, what is the reason?"
Of course, it was to see Yun Qi!
These words Lu Xi dared not speak aloud.
She could only look at Yun Qi with pleading eyes, hoping he would say sothing on her behalf.
