Chapter 169: Marrying the Princess (2)
The gazes of those young ladies from official families who were watching the show made Chen Caiyun uncomfortable. She glared at Gu Yuxi and then could only remain silent.
"Just give this stubborn donkey a training session. If one session doesn't work, give him two or three sessions. One day he will be tamed."
Those people subconsciously stayed away from Gu Yuxi and his two servants, and a conflict broke out. Gu Yuxi was protected by Princess Changning and Commandery Princess Xinyue, as well as the red-lettered iron certificate of Marquis Zhongyong.
They will be in trouble. Not only will they be scolded, but they will also most likely have to copy things like "The Virtues of Women".
Liu Xiang: "Princess, this place is dry, eat some oranges."
Gu Yuxi took the peeled orange and observed the expressions of the women. They all shook their heads and tried to hold back their laughter.
The original owner was protected by her mother and sister, and her temperament was much more free and easy than those girls, which made the name of this little queen flower not in vain.
Li Qingcheng: "Cousin Yuxi, it's rare for us to get together to watch a play, why are you three masters and servants taking up such a large space?"
Looking at the radiant girl in front of him, Gu Yuxi suddenly said aggrievedly: "Cousin Qingcheng, you are my cousin. I know you are familiar with women's virtues and rules, but you can't wrongly accuse me. The three of us, master and servant, just sat down not long ago, why can't you let others stand and watch the show."
"Don't confuse me."
"Cousin Qingcheng, why are you so ignorant? It's hard to watch the show if everyone is crowded there. I, your cousin, am still here. Or do you dislike me and don't want to sit in the same place with me?"
Cuihong: "My cousin, our princess didn't say that we can't stand here. If you express your opinion and chat with our princess, won't the place be more spacious?"
Li Qingcheng continued to retreat. If she continued to hang out in the same place with Gu Yuxi, she would lose her reputation. She might be laughed at to death by other noble ladies.
"I didn't mean that."
"No, then cousin, please sit on this stool, right next to me, and talk to me about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, books and etiquette."
"The others are just joking, don't listen to them, cousin."
"Oh! Cousin, you wouldn't do anything to gain fame, would you? You are a talented girl, how can that scholar say that the fire in the city gate affected all the fish in the pond..."
Liu Xiang: "Princess, it doesn't seem to be this. It's more like a dead fish that has sunk, or a frightened bird."
The other young ladies from the official families were amused and reminded: "Princess Yuxi, the third place winner is said to be so beautiful that he can overwhelm the whole country and make fish sink to the depths and geese fall to the ground."
Gu Yuxi immediately laughed and said, "That's what I said just now, but that third place winner was so vulgar that he described my cousin as a pretty vase and didn't even mention her talent. I thought my cousin was lying."
"Cousin, you misunderstood me. I..."
"It smells so good, cousin Qingcheng, why do you smell so good? You smell good wherever you go. What kind of perfume do you use? I want it too."
"This is something my mother specially asked Miss Fang for. It's very expensive. Stay away from me."
Gu Yuxi opened his arms and said to the others, "Forget it, ladies, my cousin dislikes me, do you want to sit with me?"
Li Qingcheng looked around and said, "I'm not disliking you. My cousin has also made an appointment with Miss Fang. Cousin, next time, I will definitely accompany you to watch a play."
"Hey, wild flowers are still more fragrant than domestic flowers. Cousin, you have made appointments with so many other young ladies. Why don't you come to the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion to play with me?"
"It was indeed my cousin's negligence. Wish you better do it next time!"
Chen Caiyun: "Gu Yuxi, why do you have to be so aggressive? Cousin Qingcheng is different from you, don't say she doesn't get along with her sisters."
"Ms. Chen, my cousin has an appointment. If you are free, please sit with me. My place has a good seat."
"I'm going to accompany my cousin Qingcheng to look for someone, so I won't disturb the princess's interest."
"As for the other ladies, you're welcome."
"Princess, please sit down. We just like to squeeze in."
"That cousin Qingcheng is really something. She said we didn't let you come over. That's nonsense. This woman is so naive."
"Ouch!"
After he finished speaking, everyone heard a series of ping-pong noises, and saw that Chen Caiyun, Li Qingcheng and others who were a few steps ahead had rolled into a pile without them noticing.
The servant who was carrying the plate of pastries spilled the pastries that were stuck to his hair onto the women, and there was a smell of alcohol on the ground.
"Cousin Qingcheng, why did you fall down? Everyone, help her up!"
When Liu Xiang saw Gu Yuxi holding up three fingers, she got the signal and walked over quickly to help Chen Caiyun, who was counting three in the middle, up, but their maid blocked her way.
She pretended to be bumped by someone, and the maids suddenly lost their balance and fell onto Li Qingcheng who was getting up.
"Who are you? Get out of my way. You are so dirty, a bitch and a waste."
Gu Yuxi held the dates and shouted, "How do you do things? You crushed Princess Qingcheng into a meat pie, and made her lose her talent. Do you think it's nice to be called a bitch and a waste?"
After the person was helped up, Gu Yuxi suddenly slapped Chen Caiyun on the face. The other party felt pain on her face and immediately cursed: "Gu Yuxi, you dare to hit me!"
"Ms. Chen, I don't want to either, but the bee on your face is too dangerous. I have killed it, look."
The others laughed, then looked at the bee in Gu Yuxi's hand, their faces suddenly changed, and they stayed away from the group of disheveled people.
Chen Caiyun felt a pain on her face, but Gu Yuxi suddenly shouted, "Oh no, this bee scares me. Take it back."
"Princess Yuxi, please don't go too far!"
"Cuihong, take this thing away. It's too scary. What if it stings me? I don't want to become a pig-head like cousin Qingcheng and Miss Chen."
Cuihong quickly slapped the bee off Gu Yuxi's palm, while the others became restless and could only hear a buzzing sound in their ears.
"Princess, come here quickly. There are more than a dozen bees behind you."
The second floor is a good place to watch plays, designed specifically for rich people. At this moment, a dozen bees suddenly flew in from the window and headed straight for Li Qingcheng and others.
"Why are there so many bees?"
"Ah! Don't sting me."
"Run!"
Gu Yuxi and others left quickly, only to see that the bee did not chase them, but specifically stung Li Qingcheng, Chen Caiyun and others.
"The county lord."
"Miss, someone come quickly."
Gu Yuxi spoiled the mood and said, "Maybe Miss Chen and Cousin Qingcheng smell too good, they wanted to attract butterflies, but the bees got here first."
"Pfft!"
Others also realized that this bee specifically stung people, and those who didn't like it laughed directly at it: "Miss Chen said that this incense is a good thing, sweet and delicious."
"Go and save the princess and Miss Chen."
The servants tried to chase away the bees, but there were more and more of them. Finally, they could only lead people downstairs. Unexpectedly, a swarm of black bees came from the street again, and the people watching the show on the second floor crowded in front of the window sill.
Gu Yuxi: "So this is what it means to attract bees and butterflies. Those ladies used to say this was an insult, and it seems to be true. If you attract bees and butterflies, you will end up getting stung by bees and fluttered by butterflies."
"Princess Yuxi is absolutely right."
