Chapter 378 Third Brother is Here
"Third Prince, you're too polite. This princess only mentioned it casually. Regarding the marriage, my father has already said that he will carefully consider it. As a woman, and having already moved out of the palace, I have no way of saying anything to him. Especially since women in our dynasty have always been forbidden to interfere in government affairs, this is a matter of great importance to the people of both countries, so I naturally have to recuse myself."
Xue Chenglun looked around nervously. The Third Prince of Yamato and the First Princess of Dayao met on such an occasion and talked so much. This matter would definitely attract the emperor's attention.
He reminded her, "Your Highness, Third Prince, men and women should not touch each other. It would be ungentlemanly for us to bother the eldest princess again. I'm afraid it would also affect her reputation..."
Bailixi smiled faintly, pretending to be a gentleman. He bowed politely and said, "Grand Princess, thank you for Minister Xue's reminder. I am sorry for being rude. Since Your Highness is reluctant to speak further, I will not disturb you any further. I will take my leave now."
Lu Shuyi nodded slightly, with a barely perceptible cunning in her eyes: "Third Prince, take care. I hope the friendship between Yamato and Dayao will last forever."
Bailixi bowed again, turned around and left at a leisurely pace, as if he didn't take this meeting seriously.
Seeing this, Xue Chenglun hurriedly followed, secretly thanking his luck that this meeting did not cause any greater disturbance.
Lu Shuyi stood there, watching them go away, a meaningful smile on her lips, and she already had a plan in mind.
"Princess, this Third Prince Yamato is indeed not very well behaved..." the maid gave an appropriate reminder.
Lu Shuyi retracted her gaze and gently waved her hand: "It's okay. Since he has the intention, I will naturally deal with it carefully. You can go and ask around to see if there is any movement from the emperor's side."
The maid took the order and left, while Lu Shuyi continued to look at the night view.
As for Bailixi, she naturally knew that she was annoying.
But if such a person really married Gu Ruanci, it would be a good thing.
Her character is no longer suitable for being a princess.
Gu Ruanci and the others played until very late before going their separate ways.
"Sister, brother is here to take you home."
Gu Yulou appeared not far downstairs at some point and did not come out until Wen Haiyue and Chen Suyue had gone far away.
"Third brother, why are you here?" Gu Ruanci was obviously a little surprised.
"You didn't come home so late, and my third brother was worried about you, especially since that third prince said some useless things today. My sister, you can't let anything go wrong."
Gu Yulou has always been taciturn, but he is willing to talk more to Gu Ruanci, and it has always been like this.
This made Gu Yuxuan jealous for a long time, but he could do nothing about his third brother who always wanted to beat him up.
When Gu Ruanci heard this, a warm feeling surged in her heart. She knew that she had a brother who loved her and would stand by her no matter when and where.
"Third brother, I'm fine. Look, I'm fine. As for the third prince, this is the capital of Dayao. If he dares to do anything to me, he means he doesn't want to live." Gu Ruanci said with a smile.
Gu Yulou did not ask any further questions, but only said that he had arrived a long time ago and saw Bailixi go to see the eldest princess.
Unexpectedly, the third brother had been waiting for him.
"Third brother, let's go home first."
Gu Ruanci felt that the feeling of being protected by family was really subtle.
As a result, their carriage met the Zhou family on the way back.
On the Zhou family's side, the people sitting there happened to be Zhou Yuzhi and Zhou Qinzhu.
There were too many people today, so Zhou Yuxiu didn't dare to bring the pregnant Ye Lingyue out, for fear that it would hurt her belly.
"Please move aside so that everyone can pass..." Changsong didn't seem to be in a bad mood today and spoke very casually.
The other driver was about to move out of the way, but Zhou Yuzhi inside got a little impatient: "We all took this road, and we were the first to enter. Why didn't you wait for us to pass before entering? It's such a narrow road, and you insisted on passing us. Now that it's blocked, you're asking us to move out of the way. What are you thinking?"
The Zhou family's coachman actually felt a little guilty when he heard what his young master said.
The Gu family's carriage had already been there, but it had been making way for people who were trying to return home, so it hadn't moved forward.
The Zhou family had been reminding the people to get out of the way, so they rushed to this end very quickly.
Gu Runci was too lazy to argue with them about such a matter. Even though she recognized the voice of Zhou Yuzhi, she told Changsong to take a detour and not waste time with them.
Changsong didn't get entangled with the Zhou family members and just walked back backwards.
The Zhou family's carriage didn't dare to move, and Zhou Yuzhi was a little unhappy.
"Aren't they retreating over there? Why are you moving forward?"
The driver then reminded him, "Second Young Master, this is the Gu family's carriage..."
After hearing this, Zhou Qinzhu's mood, which had finally eased, sank again.
The Gu family seemed to be haunting.
However, they would actually give in on their own initiative?
This was really beyond Zhou Qinzhu's expectations.
You know, when did the people of the Gu family, especially Gu Ruanci, become so easy to talk to?
Zhou Qinzhu lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked towards the Gu family's carriage.
The Gu family's carriage had just found a suitable position and was turning around. Just then, the curtain was lifted, and Zhou Qinzhu saw a woman sitting there, not even glancing at them.
I only saw a profile, but that calm and composed temperament, who else could it be but Gu Ruanci?
"Second brother, it's really a soft word..."
When Zhou Yuzhi heard Gu Ruanci's words, he became even angrier.
These days, my brother's abnormal behavior is because of Gu Ruanci.
If Gu Ruanci had not been unfilial and had not directly gone to the Zhou family to declare her identity after returning, would there be no place for her in the Zhou family?
As a descendant of the Zhou family, he refused to come back and stayed in the Gu family, even changing his surname. This was a great act of treason.
Faced with disasters one after another for the Zhou family, he either adds insult to injury or fans the flames. It's simply despicable.
"Gu Ruanci, why are you running?"
Zhou Yuzhi didn't hesitate, he rushed out of the carriage and shouted towards the front.
Gu Ruanci stopped Gu Yulou who was about to go down and beat Zhou Yuzhi, and asked Changsong to stop the car. He said in the car: "Is the second son of the Zhou family sick?"
Zhou Yuzhi was furious and asked again, "Why are you hiding from me? What have you done that is wrong?"
Gu Ruanci continued, "My time is precious. I don't want to waste it on the Zhou family, especially on a beast like you. Since this path is for beasts, let's take another one."
Zhou Yuzhi became even more agitated. "What on earth did you say to Big Brother that made him so listless and erratic all day? Do you really think you can escape the fate of marrying into Yamato this time?"
