Clouds and Moon Shadow

As everyone gathered around to examine the hairpin, a discordant voice rang out from the doorway.

Gu Qingyue looked closely and exclaimed, "Oh! Isn't this... the Eighth Prince's Consort?"

Princess Lienfoe?

Standing next to her was an incomparably beautiful noblewoman, someone Gu Qingyue hadn't expected: the Princess of England!

Recalling the incident where the Third Prince, Prince Ying, sent men to ambush and kill her and her grandfather, Gu Qingyue's expression turned indifferent.

Just before Gu Qingyue and the others returned to the capital, the Eighth Prince and Princess Lianfu had already gotten married, and they were now enjoying their honeymoon.

When Princess Lienfeld and the Princess of England walked in uninvited, everyone stood up.

"Princess Consort of Ying, and Princess Consort of the Eighth Prince are well!" Madam Qin bowed slightly, her face expressionless.

Everyone else also politely curtsied, except for Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue just watched the two of them quietly. Especially the Princess Ying, who had been so enthusiastic during her grandfather's birthday celebration, now looked at the two of them and felt incredibly ironic!

"So it's Madam Gu the Second and Miss Gu the Third! Oh no, it's the future Princess Consort of Li!"

Princess Lianfu's smug and trouble-making attitude caught Gu Qingyue's attention.

Has the Eighth Prince sided with the Third Prince, Prince Ying?

"Indeed, it's Princess Lianfu and the Princess of England! It's been a long time!"

Gu Qingyue's lips curved into a slight smile.

Princess Zhao nodded to everyone with a detached expression, seemingly not intending to win over the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Heh!

Gu Qingyue suddenly found it amusing. These two contrasting faces were so distinct that they weren't even going to pretend anymore.

She still remembered when she took Zhao Lingyun away from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, she touched her hand and invited her to the villa to admire the flowers.

"Oh my, it's been a few months since I last saw Miss Gu. Her face has become even more beautiful. It seems that the happy event is coming soon. She is finally going to become the Princess Consort of Li. When she is in a good mood, she becomes more beautiful." Princess Lianfu said nicely, but her tone was full of sourness!

Princess Lianfu was naturally extremely jealous!

She married that good-for-nothing Eighth Prince, and now every time she sees the Fifth Prince, Mu Yunjing, she hates Gu Qingyue even more.

If it weren't for her seductive face that captivated the Fifth Prince Mu Yunjing, how could she have missed him and married the Eighth Prince, who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long!

She only realized how outrageous the Eighth Prince was after she entered the manor. Just thinking about his torment every night made her tremble all over, and she wished she could tear the face of this vixen in front of her to shreds!

If Gu Qingyue knew what she was thinking, she would probably be wronged to death.

It's true that she facilitated Princess Lianfu's relationship with the Eighth Prince, but what business is it of Gu Qingyue that the Eighth Prince tormented her in bed?!

How could she have known that the Eighth Prince was such a pervert!

Hearing her cheesy words, Gu Qingyue laughed triumphantly, "Even the princess noticed? Of course I'm happy! The princess must be even happier, after all, you're already married!"

Gu Qingyue's infuriatingly sarcastic remarks finally angered Princess Lianfu.

"You, you vixen!"

Princess Lianfu pointed at Gu Qingyue and said angrily.

Before Gu Qingyue could speak, Princess Zhao, the Princess Consort of Ying, spoke up, "Eighth Prince's Consort, be careful with your words. This is the future Princess Consort of Li, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Don't lose your composure!"

As she spoke, she forced a faint smile, "I heard that Miss Gu is getting married in a few days and entering the royal family, so it's best to be careful with your words and actions."

"you------"

"you!"

Qin and Wei spoke at the same time, but Gu Qingyue stopped them by raising her hand.

"The Princess of England is warm and kind. I will certainly learn from her. Rest assured, I will not be impolite!"

Gu Qingyue laughed mockingly, "Like you, two-faced? Who can't?"

Seeing the Princess of England clench her handkerchief in anger, Gu Qingyue felt relieved. She was just asking for a scolding, so why blame her?

"Hmph! As expected of a peasant, he doesn't know anything about dignity! He treasures these pieces of scrap metal."

Suddenly, Princess Lianfu spoke up again. She stared at the large pile of jewelry and headdresses spread out on the table, her teeth almost grinding to powder.

"Greetings, Princess Lianfu!" Suddenly, a small head peeked out from behind Gu Qingyue.

Her face was soft and plump, and her eyes blinked, which startled Princess Lianfu.

"Where did this unruly lackey come from!"

Princess Lienfeld was even angrier.

Mo Xiaoliu smiled, looking even more adorable. "Princess Lianfu, have you forgotten me? Do you still remember when we met at the palace audience three years ago?"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and warmly tugged at Princess Lianfu's sleeve, as if she had seen a long-lost sister.

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow and smiled.

This little girl!

"You are..." Princess Lianfu paused for a moment, "You are that little girl from the Mo family, the imperial merchant family?"

She remembered; it was the first time she had seen Mo Shaoshang, and she was utterly captivated by his beauty, and...

"Yes, yes, it's me!" Mo Xiaoliu smiled even more intimately.

Princess Lianfu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Did this little girl know what had happened back then?

Father later suppressed that matter, but... what if this little girl still remembers...?

Seeing Princess Lianfu's suddenly evasive eyes, Gu Qingyue instinctively felt that something had happened, and she became a little curious.

"Why are you with Miss Gu San?"

Princess Lianfu only wants to escape now. She is now the Eighth Prince's Consort of the Great Chu, and she wants to keep the things that happened in Nanzhao a closely guarded secret.

"Oh, Sister Qingyue and I met at Ci'en Temple, and she bought medicinal herbs from our Moji. She's a very nice person, and we've come to browse the jewelry shop together today."

Mo Xiaoliu spoke carelessly, seemingly without any guile.

Besides, she really wasn't lying, Gu Qingyue shook her head with a smile.

"Oh, I see. Miss Mo, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to take care of at the manor, so I'll be leaving now," she said, turning around but then turning back.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Mo, would you like to visit the Eighth Prince's residence? We haven't seen each other in a long time, let's catch up."

We need to silence this young lady from the Mo family first. If she tells Gu Qingyue about that matter, how will she ever have the face to talk about Gu Qingyue again?

Mo Xiaoliu blinked her big eyes and waved her hand, "No need, Princess. You don't look well. You should go back and rest. I need to help Sister Qingyue choose her wedding jewelry."

"That's fine too."

Princess Lianfu looked around angrily, and when she saw Gu Qingyue, she almost had a heart attack. However, she really couldn't stay there any longer; she had to hurry back and think of a solution.

Seeing that Princess Lianfu was leaving without a word, the Princess of England glanced at Gu Qingyue and also turned and left without saying goodbye.

"Please be careful on the steps, you two!"

Gu Qingyue watched as the two hurriedly left, and called out to them from behind.

Then she turned to Qin Shi and said in a coquettish tone, and in a loud voice, "Mother, look how polite I am!"

Qin was both amused and exasperated. What a mischievous little devil!
