405 Princess Liuying Entered the Palace at Lunchtime

“The Gu family has always treated Sister Gu badly, so they brought this upon themselves. Sister Gu, you mustn’t be soft-hearted just because of them.” Gong Lingyu thought of how someone had actually treated Gu Qingxue badly, she felt that these people had poor taste from the bottom of her heart.

“Of course not. Yu’er, I won’t be having dinner at the residence tonight. I’m going to take Lil’ Lin and the others to my foster parents’ house to take a look.” Gu Qingxue originally wanted to wait until the next day to go up, she would visit her adoptive father and adoptive mother’s house after she entered the palace.

However, Miao Yin’s words just now had stirred up the longing in her heart for the couple. She could not help but want to go to the High Duke’s residence to take a look.

Gong Lingyu was dejected for a moment, but she still nodded her head obediently, “Sister Gu, you have a foster father and foster mother? I’ve never heard you mention them before.”

“My foster father and foster mother are both people who like silence. I don’t want too many people to know about this either. Just pretend that you don’t know either,” Gu Qingxue said with a smile.

Gong Lingyu had wanted to prepare a gift to express her gratitude, but since Gu Qingxue had already said so, she had no choice but to give up. “Alright then. I’ll get the maids to go dress up Lil’ Lin and the others first.”

“I’ll go. Anyway, my foster parents’ house isn’t far from here. We can walk there.” Gu Qingxue could not wait to go back. As she spoke, she got up and walked out of the door.

Gong Lingyu watched Gu Qingxue leave and suddenly felt a little lonely. “Sister Gu and the others don’t need dinner. Ask the cooks to not prepare so much. I can’t eat that much alone.”

As Gong Lingyu spoke, she raised her hand and pinched her chubby little face.

She had been living in the courtyard house a few days ago. When she ate with the children, she always ate a lot, which made her little face much rounder.

However, when she remembered that the children and Gu Qingxue were not at home tonight, she lost her appetite.

Miao Yin observed Gong Lingyu’s expression and said softly, “Princess, do you want to go to the empress dowager’s place for dinner? I heard that Princess Liuying entered the palace during lunch and chatted with the empress dowager for quite a while.”

Gong Lingyu, who was originally in low spirits, suddenly became interested. “She went to look for the my grandmother, so there must be something bad, right? Does she hate sister Gu that much?”

“The princess has interacted with the princess since she was young, so she naturally knows the princess’s personality very well.” As Miao Yin spoke, she lowered her head helplessly and shook her head gently.

“In the past, I wasn’t willing to argue with her. After all, I’m just an adopted princess, so I should be careful in the palace. Otherwise, once I lose my love, I’ll definitely implicate the people around me.” Gong Lingyu brought up the things that she had endured in the past, she clenched her fists unwillingly.

“Princess, you’ve worked hard. This servant understands. That’s why this servant didn’t bring up the princess’ matter when Miss Gu was here just now. I’m just not sure whether you’re going to interfere or not.” Miao Yin saw Gong Lingyu’s cold expression, she continued to gently persuade her, “Actually, Princess, you shouldn’t interfere. You’ve never liked these scheming things. Why don’t you pretend that you don’t know this time?”

It was not that Gong Lingyu did not know about it, but she did not want to fuss about it.

Even as the most favored princess in the palace, she had always known that she had no guarantee. She was the only person in the imperial family’s jade archive with a different surname. The empress dowager and the emperor’s love for her might one day drift away with the wind.
