Princess and the General

get it.
We are in a good mood today and will not blame you.
But as a girl, you should be discreet in word and action.
In the future, We hope to never see another person misbehave so badly.”

Liu RuYi heard that he was in a good mood and thought that she had escaped this trial, but who knew that the latter half of Emperor Ning’s message would nearly drop her to her knees.

The meaning behind those words was that he no longer wished to see her.
She could no longer enter the palace…

Minister of the Ministry of Appointments, Liu Zhen, hastily stood up and expressed his thanks to Emperor Ning then had people take Liu RuYi out of the hall.

He knew that this daughter of his had been ruined.

Of the families in the capital with influence, none would want to take in a girl who could not enter the palace, much less a family like Marquis Gu’s Manor.

“Eldest brother, will young miss Liu no longer be allowed into the palace?”

Yu Fu sat next to Gu ShuBai and quietly asked him.
It seemed that she had not considered things on a deeper level.

Gu ShuBai faintly agreed, “Regardless of the setting, she spoke disrespectfully towards you.
This is the outcome that she deserves.
Even if His Majesty did not punish her today, I would not allow her to live happily.”

Yu Fu said: “But that vase of green chrysanthemums, I actually…”

Gu ShuBai gave her a look to cut her off, no longer allowing her to continue.
He then pulled out something that reflected a silver light and secretly handed it to her.

“I know that you did it.
You did very well, but you need to pay attention next time to destroy the evidence.”

The thing with the silver reflection was one of Yu Fu’s silver needles.

Liu RuYi had indeed not fallen with enough force to knock off all of the petals.
It only happened because Yu Fu threw out a needle.

At that time, he had been standing at a distance of ten paces and noticed Yu Fu’s actions.
That was why he did not step forward to help.

Since she herself could act, there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.

Yu Fu thought for a bit but did not reach out to accept the silver needle, “Eldest brother, you don’t blame me for being vicious and no longer giving her a chance to enter the palace?”

“Her no longer being able to enter the palace is a good thing.
Think about the things that she said to you today.
Such a frivolous and unreasonable person, if she ended up offending another noble person in the palace, it’s possible that she would die without leaving a corpse behind.
You not letting her enter the palace actually saved her life.”

Yu Fu smiled widely.

It really was great that he was her eldest brother.
Initially, she had been a little conflicted, wondering whether or not she had acted too severely and ruining Liu RuYi’s life.

Having been comforted by Gu ShuBai like this, she felt much better.

“I knew that you guys were standing nearby.
Based on your martial abilities, you would definitely notice.
If I didn’t fight back, you would need to act for my sake.
I did not want to implicate you guys.”

She had a resolute expression, her eyes glimmering while looking at Gu ShuBai.
Unswerving, every little thing blossomed in her eyes.

Gu ShuBai responded with a smile and reached out to pat her head.

However, while Emperor Ning had been chatting about something, his name had suddenly been brought up.

“Marquis Gu, We recall that your ShuBai has already become of age this year.
JiuGe is also 19, right? The children have grown up and should get married.”

Gu ShuBai’s hands froze, and he quickly looked toward Gu HuaiJiang.

Had he not said that he had already refused the matter of marriage…

For His Majesty to bring up the matter of marriage in front of the members of the court and members of the imperial family, what were his intentions?
