Chapter 1260: Chapter 1258: Boastful Remarks
A certain discrete individual sat in the carriage, looking out through the gap in the curtains, and clicked their tongue in admiration.
"The last time I saw such a scene was at the Tenth Princeās Mansion, and this one seems even livelier," Wufu exaggerated. "Even selecting a royal consort isnāt this bustling, is it?"
Purple Jade chuckled softly, "Choosing a consort for a prince is far more lively. Itās said that both of them have settled their wedding dates, right?"
She was referring to the Sixth Prince and Tenth Prince.
Wufu said, "But thatās lively enough for a reaching-the-age-of-marriage gift ceremony."
"Princess Changping is the only legitimate Commandery Princess at the Princeās Mansion, naturally treasured and pampered. The Princess Consort loves her daughter dearly, so wanting to hold a grand event is understandable," Purple Jade smiled. "And Prince Jingkang is a renowned general of Nanyue and very fond of this daughter."
Wufu nodded, but her brows furrowed as she thought of Prince Jingkangās status.
Prince Jingkang is a famous general of Nanyue, and eventually, Beiyan and Nanyue will meet on the battlefield. If she follows Ah Jiu, does it mean she will become opposing forces with Changping one day?
Purple Jade, perceptive of Wufuās lowered spirits, quickly thought and understood the reason for Wufuās gloom.
"Miss..."
Wufu looked up and smiled lightly, "How much longer? If we are blocked, shall we walk over?"
People come together and eventually part ways; nothing lasts forever. So if that day comes, it will all be fateās arrangement.
Purple Jade looked on and said, "We have arrived."
Mo Lan was the first to jump down, lift the curtain, and put down the footstool. Purple Jade disembarked first, then helped Wufu out of the carriage.
Qing Xin, looking around, finally spotted Wufu and her companions. She quickly walked over and greeted, "Miss, the Commandery Princess has sent me to welcome you."
Wufu smiled and gestured for Mo Lan and the others to bring the gifts and follow Qing Xin through the door.
Nearby, someone with sharp eyes saw this scene and nudged the person beside them, "Mother, look, isnāt that Qing Xin, the personal maidservant of Princess Changping?"
The woman looked over, clearly saw the maid leading the way, and nodded, "Exactly, seems like her name is Qing Xin?"
This group was Madam Wangās entourage.
Wu Yining looked at the respectful manner in which Qing Xin led the way for the people beside her, full of envy, "I wonder who that young lady is, to have someone from the Commandery Princessā side personally come to welcome them. Must be of high status, right?"
"I heard Princess Changping is close with Miss Bai of the Bai Family?" Wu Yilin said.
Wu Yining curled her lips, "What kind of friendship is that? The Commandery Princess is foolish to be played by Bai Sulian. Moreover, isnāt Bai Sulian already the Princess Consortās concubine? People say she used dirty tricks to enter the Princeās Mansion, haha..."
"Shut your mouth!" Madam Wang was almost infuriated, whispering angrily, "Do you know where you are, daring to spout nonsense here?"
Really foolish, if someone heard, what then? Coming here is all about making a good impression and seeking a good match for her daughter, isnāt it?
This brat just had to stir trouble, really exasperating!
Wu Yining shrank her neck and stuck out her tongue, not daring to speak further.
Madam Wang glared at her, then turned her attention back to Qing Xin. Bai Familyās Miss has entered the Princeās Mansion as a concubine, but who is the new friend of the Commandery Princess? To have a maid come for the pickup, they must be very close, then?
Madam Wang only saw the girl wearing a moon-white and faint purple long skirt, unable to see her face, but her figure was exceptionally tall and slender.
Just as she was lost in thought, a maid in a blue dress abruptly looked over, her gaze icy and stern.
Madam Wangās pupils slightly contracted, feeling as if icy winds swept by. When she looked closely again, there was nothing. Was it just an illusion?
