She had just finished speaking.
When Gu Rao’s expression changed.
Even the young ladies beside Gu Rao couldn’t help but size her up.
They looked at the flower designs between the princess’s eyebrows and then at
Gu Rao.
Everyone looked a little embarrassed.
Commandery Princess Rouqing was still looking smug just now, but now, she couldn’t explain herself?
Gu Rao pursed her lips and saw from the corner of her eye that Ye Siming was looking at her coldly.
She was unwilling to be embarrassed in front of Ye Siming.
She lowered her eyelashes and said, “It’s a coincidence. This is probably because of our blood ties. Younger Sister Princess and I actually thought of doing the same thing together.”
From what she said,
It was just a coincidence!
She was clearly the one imitating, but she still insisted on bringing up blood relations and said that they shared telepathy as sisters.
Gu Nuo’er was very unhappy!
Who wanted to have such a deep sisterly relationship with such a person?!
She blinked her black and round eyes. “How can there be such a coincidence? Usually, everyone likes to draw plum blossoms.
“People would usually draw a five-petaled stamen. There are very few three-petaled flowers that can be named like the one we drew.”
Gu Nuo’er looked at Gu Rao. “Elder Sister Commandery Princess said that you thought of this yourself. Where did you get the inspiration from?”
Gu Rao still argued stubbornly, “Can’t it be that I only want to draw three petals on a whim?”
She straightened her back. “Sister Nuo’er, don’t malign me. I’d put on this makeup a few days ago. I’ve also gone out to meet friends like this before. Countless people have seen it.
“If you like this design and want to take it for yourself, why don’t you just tell me? How can I not let you have it? You’re my biological sister, so I’m naturally willing to give in.”
Her words could be said to be playing the blame game.
It made things seem like Gu Nuo’er had taken a fancy to the flower design on her glabella and wanted to monopolize it as her own. That was why she made things difficult for her.
Xie Yinxiang was the first to frown. “Commandery Princess, what you said makes no sense. Any young lady who participated in the autumn hunt a year ago should recognize the makeup on your glabella.
“That’s because this isn’t an ordinary flower. This is called a Flaming
Epiphyllum. Last year, during the autumn hunt, Noble Consort drew a Flaming Epiphyllum flower design and stunned everyone. Everyone present then had seen it before. Why has it become yours now?”
Gu Rao’s expression tightened. “What?”
How could it be Noble Consort Qiao’s makeup look?!
Gu Rao had heard of the Flaming Epiphyllum, but she had never seen it before.
She only knew that it was very expensive and cost a thousand gold taels each.
His Majesty had once obtained one and spent a lot of money to get the gardeners to nurture it carefully, saying that it was for Noble Consort Qiao.
However, Gu Rao didn’t know that the three-petaled flower in this flower design was actually the Flaming Epiphyllum!
Gu Nuo’er’s thin eyebrows were long and her eyes were bright. “Back then, I was the one who mashed the petals of the Flaming Epiphyllum into flower juice and drew such a flower design for my mother.
“But now, Elder Sister Commandery Princess is saying that we have telepathy. It sounds really shameless!”
The child imitated her tone of playing the blame game just now and said softly, “Oh, just say that you want to copy. I won’t scold
The young ladies around Gu Rao didn’t come from families with high statuses.
Their fathers weren’t high-ranking officials, so they naturally weren’t qualified to accompany His Majesty to the hunt.
Therefore, these people had never seen Noble Consort Qiao’s fire epiphyllum design before.
They thought that Gu Rao had created it herself!
When they saw that Gu Rao had been accused of imitating the noble consort, the few young ladies immediately took a few steps back silently.
They stayed even further away from her!
Someone even muttered softly, “In comparison, the flower design on the princess’s glabella seems to be more plump and beautiful.. Commandery Princess Rouqing’s is as thin and ugly as a fake…”
