949 Chapter 949-invitation
The Southern Star diplomatic mission had stayed in the great Zhou for half a month. Before they left, the Emperor had organized another banquet.
He was happy! The two daughters of the Gu family had left him a lot of money to buy a horse.
The Emperor led the courtiers to warmly welcome the princess and prince of Xing Nan for their next visit. They all liked the brother and sister’s visit.
Xing Nan and his sister were so flattered that they had completely forgotten that they had lost so many warhorses. They would have to stay at the horse farm for at least half a year.
In the past half a month, the brother and sister had been fooled by the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites. They had bought tea at a high price.
The officials of Xinan were in despair. When they returned to Xinan, they would tell the king that the next time he sent the little princess and Little Prince, he would not want them.
In the eyes of the officials of Xinan, the ten-year-old little princess and Little Prince were more reliable than these two.
After the departure of the Southern Star diplomatic mission, the Emperor had not yet decided on a successor to take over kun city, so he could only let the Peng family take over there for the time being.
He had a head full of lawsuits, so he didn’t care about the disharmony between the two princesses of the Wang Fu or the street fight. Even if the Gu family was involved, he just wanted to know that the Gu sisters didn’t suffer losses.
When he heard that Majesty Kang and Duke Cheng ‘en had found a new source of entertainment, he was envious while he warned himself that when he was done, he would call these two fellows to the palace to give them a good scolding.
At the Gu residence.
Gu Xin realized that her sister seemed to have returned to the state she was in before the drinking session.
He was all smiles and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but she felt that there was something wrong.
Gu Xin still remembered that two years ago, her sister loved to fight and beat people up. But ever since she was angered by li Muyan in the first half of the year, she had changed completely and was no longer afraid of using violence.
In the past, when she was practicing, she would ask her sisters to slack off or play with en ‘Zi. Now, she was practicing obediently and did not play with en’ Zi anymore.
Not only was Gu Xin not used to it, even en Zi was not used to it.
Other than the first branch’s simple-minded father and mother, everyone else could see Gu Nian’s change.
That day, Gu Hui went to the Peng family. Old general Peng was going to kun city. Gu Hui had already gotten her grandparents and second uncle’s approval. Now, as long as general Peng agreed, she could not give up.
The longer she stayed in the capital, the more bored she felt. Therefore, she had to leave this place.
Especially when she heard her mother talk about her finding a partner every day, she felt that she should go to kun city. Otherwise, she would be annoyed to death by her mother sooner or later.
Not long after Gu Hui left, they received an invitation from the Kang family. It was an invitation from Princess Jinghe to the Gu sisters to visit another villa.
Gu Xin thought about how Gu Nian would be bored at home every day. She might as well go out and play. Thus, she asked her servant to wait for Gu Hui at the Peng family’s house. She would bring Gu Hui over later.
The Three Sisters packed up, bid their farewells to their families, and boarded the princess’s carriage.
They weren’t used to bringing a servant girl with them, so they would always go with the sisters.
Initially, Gu Nian did not want to go. However, at the thought of her family’s worried looks, she decided to go and have some fun.
After the carriage left, white nine found a horse and chased after it. He was Gu Xin’s bodyguard in the dark. Usually, he would follow the carriage on a horse. No one would be able to tell that he was following Gu Xin.
The villas were all outside the city. After arriving in the capital, the girls really hadn’t left the city. They opened the window and looked at the scenery outside. The breeze blew, and they felt much more comfortable.
White nine followed them at a distance that was neither too far nor too close. She looked at the different areas of the carriage, then got off her horse and went to find the most suitable place for secret protection in the residence of the king of Kang.
