"Sister Lu, now that you're here, I'm telling you that the Prince of Chu actually mistook someone else for the Seventh Prince. Don't you think it's strange?"
"Everyone says the Seventh Prince has a divine appearance, but I've never seen him. Have you? Could it be that the young man just now had a divine appearance that the Prince of Chu mistook him for someone else?"
"If you ask me, there must be something fishy going on here. If the Prince of Chu could mistake someone for someone else, could Yi Huan and Chu Lingdong also mistake someone for someone else? If one says it's okay, then if all three say it's okay, then there's definitely something wrong."
"Alas, I haven't met the Seventh Prince, but I know he and the Fifth Princess are twins, a boy and a girl. The Seventh Prince is incredibly handsome, but the Fifth Princess is ugly and faceless. Do you think Concubine Yun Shu has come and switched the boy?"
"Hush, just think about this kind of thing in your mind, why did you say it out loud? Everyone knows that people from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion are the most domineering. If they hear you say such a big truth, you will definitely be in trouble."
When Qu You arrived, the garden was bustling with activity, with a group of gossipers chattering away. But when they discovered the host of the poetry gathering had arrived, the garden suddenly fell silent.
She looked at Princess Qingyang who was walking in front of her, hooked her arm around the girl next to her and spoke in a low voice with a dull tone.
"Sister Ning An, why do I seem to hear someone mentioning me? Are they saying bad things about me?"
"How could that be? Youyou, you're so nice, who would say bad things about you?"
Princess Ning'an patted the back of Qu You's hand, as if she didn't hear the discussions. A decent smile played on her lips, like a gentle and considerate intimate sister.
Qu You: "But I think I heard someone say that the Fifth Princess and the Seventh Prince don't look like siblings or something."
She lowered her head and said gloomily that she had always known that she looked ordinary and not as beautiful as her other sisters. People who disliked her laughed at her and called her a faceless girl.
If she and her seventh brother were not born of the same mother, the emperor might not even remember her.
Because of her ordinary appearance, even her mother didn't like her very much. She ignored her since she was a child and focused all her attention on her seventh brother.
"Youyou, don't take their words to heart. They are just jealous of your royal family background. Not only does your mother have a noble status, but you also have a biological brother."
Princess Qingyang sat in the main seat, and Princess Ning'an took Qu You to find her good sisters.
"Don't worry about them, let's go find Wan Ning and the others. There are many talented people here today. Don't you like calligraphy and painting the most? There are some to see today."
However, when they arrived at the group of young ladies, they found that the young ladies who usually had a lot to talk about were too quiet today and spoke much less.
Qu You could feel that several little sisters were always secretly looking at her. For some reason, her heart was beating very fast, as if something bad had happened without her knowledge.
She used some force to hold Princess Ning'an's arm. Princess Ning'an noticed her nervousness, held her hand, turned around and asked the sisters if they were hiding something from them.
The young sisters who had heard about the farce just now looked at each other, and finally chose a girl of thirteen or fourteen as the representative.
The girl tiptoed on the ground, her eyes wandering, her acting skills obviously poor. After thinking for a while, she hesitated but said with full curiosity: "Fifth Princess, what does His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince look like?"
The other sisters gasped.
Sister, you just asked it directly?
Should the gossip be too obvious?
Princess Ning'an felt a little strange when she noticed that the little sisters had their eyes sparkling with curiosity, and even the onlookers were looking at the fifth princess.
Combined with the sounds she heard in the garden just now, she felt more and more that something must have happened just now that was related to the Seventh Prince and the Fifth Princess, and her eyes flashed.
"Why do you suddenly want to know what His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince looks like?"
"That's right, just now the Prince of Chu mistook an official's son for the Seventh Prince. Everyone is curious about what the Seventh Prince looks like..."
It was the same girl from before. She looked at the fifth princess with evasive eyes and spoke hesitantly, her voice getting softer as she went on.
Only twins look so similar that others can mistake them for each other, right?
That young man is about the same age as the Seventh Prince. If he and the Seventh Prince are really twins, then who is the Fifth Princess?
The fifth princess was cheerful, generous, and lavish, and she didn't want her friend to lose her noble birth.
"Fifth Princess, aren't you good at drawing portraits? Can you draw a portrait of the Seventh Prince?"
The voice came from the side.
The speaker was the youngest daughter of the Left Censor-in-Chief. She had several older brothers and sisters and had been pampered since childhood. She believed that she was no worse than a princess and never hesitated to speak.
The fifth princess couldn't understand why the Prince of Chu could have mistaken his own brother. She was completely bewildered, with question marks all over her head.
When I looked up, I found that my gazes met with many people's. I felt a bit caught in a dilemma and didn't know whether I should paint this picture. I pinched my fingers in confusion and looked at my good sister, Princess Ning'an, for help.
Princess Ning'an was unaware of what had happened before. She weighed the pros and cons based on the information she had and decided that it would be better for the Fifth Princess not to paint the picture, because she noticed that many people in the crowd were looking at her with mocking eyes.
They seemed to want to see the excitement of the five princesses.
At present, she is on good terms with the Fifth Princess. As a caring sister, she must not let others see the Fifth Princess's fun.
Princess Ning'an had just organized her words to help the Fifth Princess reject her younger sisters' request when Princess Qingyang arrived.
"Why are you all gathered together? What fun things are you girls talking about?"
The little girl from the family of the Left Censor-in-Chief was naturally brave and was not afraid of Princess Qingyang. She told the whole story in her little mouth, and then said again that she wanted to know what the seventh prince looked like.
