BXBX NOVEL Chapter 773 - The Hint
Chapter 773: The Hint
That was because she had gotten the hint.
‘The maid from Lord Ling’s Mansion, who came to pass on the invitational message, told her that she was not only there to see the flowers. If the Flower Banquet was only about the flowers, then Princess Consort did not have to be that active about it. However, the maid also said something about the phoenix
that the Princess Consort had called out. That was actually passing on the message.
The Princess Consort had been helping her these days, and now she was getting more and more respect at the mansion. So she was going to help her back. Therefore, when Princess Consort smiled at her a moment ago, she instantly understood what she meant.
That was why she said those words.
The other ladies all got surprised hearing what the Second Lady said,
Most of them had witnessed the phoenix at the Spring Hunt, but the phoenix belonged to Lady Chaoyan, and didn’t the news that Lady Chaoyan was a good omen spread around these days?
Their families were also telling them to befriend Lady Chaoyan instead, but today…
They had not expected that Princess Consort was also able to call a phoenix with her flute.
If that was the case, then Gu Chaoyan was nothing compared to her. They should suck up to the Princess Consort who was the Phoenix Girl!
“Princess Consort, is that real? Can’t we see the phoenix?” The lady from the Min Family, who was the boldest, asked straightforwardly.
Gu Ruxue nodded and asked Ming to get the flute.
She did not have the flute with her, because she wanted to pretend that the whole thing did not happen on purpose.
‘Ming went to fetch the flute and Gu Ruxue smiled. ‘Let’s drink tea and watch the flowers, my maid is bringing us a flute. The weather is good today, very suitable for a phoenix.”
The others smiled alongside.
Well.. this Flower Banquet was nothing other than a name. The begonias in the garden did not seem to be blooming, just a few were budding, So it was not about the flowers.
Those ladies, who all grew up in large families, understood the meaning behind it easily.
The Flower Banquet was not about flowers, it was just a title. However, they did not point out the true meaning behind it.
They drank tea and kept speaking highly of the good-looking and exquisite garden, which was well-decorated.
It took Ming a while before she brought the flute.
Gu Ruxue was not in a hurry either. She waited as she took a sip of tea. She was too assured to worry about anything.
“Princess Consort, here is your flute.” Ming gave her the flute politely.
It was a jade flute, which looked crystal clear. It was made specially for the Banquet, and was indeed beautiful.
Gu Ruxue held the flute in her hands, then she said calmly as she slightly shook her head, looking quite disdainful about what Gu Chaoyan had done, “Actually, I have been able to call the phoenix with the flute before I got married, and I did not think that it was a very important thing, but my sister
eavesdropped on the music and played it at the Spring Hunt!”
The others were all surprised.
So the Princess Consort meant something else…
