Chapter 334 The Scenery and the Moon
The personal maid whispered, "Miss, what are you doing? If the old lady and the lady find out, you will be punished."

"Hush, keep your voice down. How can I know what's going on in the mansion if I don't eavesdrop? They treat me like a child and hide everything from me. How can I bear it?"

Gu Baozhu was quietly hiding under the window when she heard Qin Yuan say, "Mother, there is an important matter that I am undecided about. I should have called my sixth brother and the Marquis together to discuss this matter, but this is not only a major matter for the Marquis's Mansion, but also concerns my sixth brother's family affairs. I thought I should get the bottom of it from mother first."

Gu Baozhu was a smart person. She thought to herself, could it be that the Xu family was causing trouble again?
Old Madam Gu also asked this question.

Qin Yuan was talking inside while Gu Baozhu was listening outside. She was completely absorbed in what she was saying, her fists clenched and her teeth gnashed.

Suddenly, she was poked hard in the waist. Gu Baozhu heard that she was at a critical point, so she moved slightly and whispered, "Stop making trouble."

But not only did it not stop, he was hit on the head again, and it was heavier than the previous one.

Gu Baozhu couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "How dare you!"

When she heard this cry, Gu Baozhu knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, the voices in the room stopped, and then Mrs. Gu shouted, "Gu Baozhu, what are you doing outside?"

"Nothing, mother."

Gu Baozhu stood up, moved her numb feet, and turned angrily to look at the maid who had ruined her business. Unexpectedly, she saw a cold and dark face.

Although this face is extremely handsome, it is extremely cold.

Gu Baozhu's legs suddenly went weak, and she stammered, "Third, Third Brother, why are you here?"

Gu Jinghui said coldly: "It's not strange that I'm here, it's strange that you're here. Let me ask you, what are you doing squatting under the window? How can you be a girl at all?"

Gu Baozhu was caught red-handed and could not say anything to argue. She could only say, "I was eavesdropping under the window."

Suddenly, a light laugh came from the side, the sound was very clear, and Gu Baozhu realized that there was someone else here besides her third brother. She turned her neck slowly and stiffly and looked over.

What caught my eye was His Royal Highness Prince Qi, who was well-known in the capital.

The King of Qi was wearing a moon-white Taoist robe today, a white jade crown, and a moon-white tie around his chin. He looked elegant and refined, and his eyes were looking at her with a slight smile.

"Qi, Qi, the King of Qi is coming..."

Gu Baozhu wished she could burrow underground.

"I, I really am. This is my first time eavesdropping. Really? Do you believe it?"

Gu Baozhu felt like crying but had no tears.

Why? ! ! ! !

Why did I have to be discovered eavesdropping? It would be fine if I was discovered by others, but why did I have to be discovered by my third brother? It would be fine if I was discovered by my third brother, but why did I have to be seen by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi...

How could Gu Baozhu have the face to live her life in the future?

His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi could not help but smile again. A spring breeze seemed to be blowing across his fair and elegant face, and it seemed that the only person in front of him was in his pupils.

"This king believes it."

Gu Baozhu stood aside awkwardly.

From inside the room came Madam Gu's full-throated voice, "Gu Baozhu, get out of here!"

Gu Baozhu looked awkwardly at King Qi and then at her third brother, hesitating, not knowing whether to go forward or back away. "Why don't you go in? Mother is calling you." Gu Jinghui's cold voice came.

"Oh."

Gu Baozhu lowered her head and followed the two of them in.

As soon as His Royal Highness Prince Qi entered, Madam Gu stood up and said with a smile, "How come there is a big Buddha in this small temple of mine today?"

Qin Yuan also hurriedly stood up, lowered his eyebrows respectfully, and stood by.

The King of Qi hurried forward a few steps to greet her, and after greeting Old Madam Gu, he said, "Old Madam, you are blaming me for not coming here often enough and becoming unfamiliar with her."

Madam Gu smiled and said, "Your Highness also knows that you come less often, so you can come more often in the future."

King Qi looked at Gu Jinghui and said, "I would like to come more often, but someone has to be willing."

Gu Jinghui didn't respond, his expression still looked grim.

Qin Yuan knew that the King of Qi came to visit because he had something to ask for, and he always addressed himself by his given name to appear more friendly, but Lord Gu was somewhat reluctant.
The King of Qi greeted Qin Yuan again. Qin Yuan wanted to perform a grand ceremony, but the King of Qi stopped him and said, "I call you Third Brother, and I also call you Third Sister-in-law. We will just greet each other according to the order."

Qin Yuan looked at Lord Gu, who nodded and said, "Just follow his instructions."

After the two of them exchanged greetings, the King of Qi smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, this is the second time we meet."

Qin Yuan said softly, "I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Qi for saving me last time. I have not been to your house to thank you. Please don't blame me, Your Royal Highness Prince Qi."

King Qi glanced at Gu Jinghui again before saying, “Why would I be surprised? I hope Third Sister-in-law won’t blame me. If it weren’t for my people being reckless last time, Third Sister-in-law wouldn’t have been implicated. I should have apologized to Third Sister-in-law. Fortunately, Third Brother doesn’t blame me anymore, otherwise I wouldn’t have dared to enter the gate of Dingbei Marquis’ Mansion again.”

Qin Yuan realized that the King of Qi had already discussed the matter with Lord Gu. It seemed that the King of Qi's life-saving grace was just a cover, so she smiled slightly.

After everyone exchanged greetings, they sat down as host and guest.

At this time, no one wanted to pursue Gu Baozhu anymore, so she just shrank aside and listened to them talk openly.

Gu Baozhu was still quite curious about the glorious Prince of Qi.

After the greetings, Madam Gu asked, "I wonder why your Highness is here?"

The King of Qi hesitated for a while before he said, "Old Madam, to be honest, I have been looking for a special fragrance. I have searched all the big and small fragrance shops in the capital. I have also searched for the shopkeeper Leng of Ranxiangju many times."

Madam Gu knew that this matter was related to Qin Yuan's incense, and said with a smile: "I wonder what kind of strange incense your highness is looking for. Although I am a little older, I still have some knowledge."

The King of Qi smiled and said, "I said that the old lady is knowledgeable and experienced, maybe she knows it."

Gu Jinghui said coldly: "Even if my mother remembers it, so what? There must be someone who can match it."

The King of Qi sighed, "Third brother is always the best at spoiling the fun."

As he spoke, he glanced around casually and saw Qin Yuan sitting below with a normal expression on his face.

The King of Qi sighed again.

Qiu Ju came up to serve tea. The King of Qi took a sip of tea and praised, "The tea here is really the best, much better than the one I had in my third brother's study."

Madam Gu smiled and said, "Of course. Hui Ge'er is a rough man. He was fighting in the northern frontier and didn't have time to pay attention to these things. He was surrounded by rough men who only liked to drink and eat meat. I'm afraid he drank more wine than tea in his life. Before he got married, he was served by servants and his clothes were taken care of by Sixteen. How could he be so refined?"
