Chapter 879: 406 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Meet (second watch) Chapter 879: 406 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Meet (second watch) Long Yi’s action successfully shocked everyone present.

No one expected Long Yi to behave so abnormally. When Princess Xinyang asked him to deliver the box to the Crown Prince’s wife, not only did he not deliver it, but he also handed it off eagerly to a passerby, as if he couldn’t disdain the Crown Prince’s wife more.

It wasn’t Long Yi’s intention, but that didn’t stop people from thinking so. The Crown Prince’s wife might not have come from a noble enough background, but through many years of relentless effort, she had already attained a status that commanded universal respect.

She was not only the virtuous wife of the Crown Prince but also a strategist of the East Palace. Her position was pivotal, and no one had treated her with such disrespect for many years.

Her face burned with more than just embarrassment.

Gu Jiao’s surprise at being stopped by Long Yi was no less than that of the Crown Prince’s wife.

Why would she run into this Dragon Shadow Guard even in the palace?

What kind of ill fate was this!

Gu Jiao, with a deep sense of grievance, was forcefully handed a box. She wondered to herself if this fellow could be gifting her a whole box full of charcoal pencils to mock her.

Was she able to refuse?

Gu Jiao decisively took a large step back!

She didn’t want it!

The Crown Prince’s wife almost passed out!

What she couldn’t even imagine wanting, this girl actually refused!

It wasn’t that the Crown Prince’s wife was particularly eager for the thousand-year-old Ganoderma; rather, she valued the sentiment from Princess Xinyang. Yet, someone dared to ignore such a gesture!

The Crown Prince’s wife’s face could not maintain its composure any longer.

Princess Xinyang glanced in the direction of Long Yi and Gu Jiao, pondered for a moment, and said to Yujin, “It’s been several years since I returned to Capital City, and there are many new faces in the palace. Yujin, go invite them over.”

“Yes.” Yujin bowed slightly and stepped down from the stairs.

Gu Jiao caught sight of her instantly.

Yujin was different from most of the female officers in the palace; her demeanor was etched in her bones. She didn’t wear a veil today, which took away some of the mystery and beauty, but added a sense of dignity fitting for a court lady.

She stood before Gu Jiao, smiled slightly, and said politely and gracefully, “Miss, my princess invites you.”

My, home?

If this lady claimed to be a princess herself, Gu Jiao would not doubt it. Could such an elegant person really be just a lady-in-waiting to some princess?

Speaking of which, Gu Jiao had not seen many princesses of the royal family; they were married off and did not reside in the palace.

She wondered which princess this lady was referring to.

Gu Jiao walked with her towards the pavilion.

Long Yi once again pushed the box into her hands and grabbed her hand, forcing her to embrace the box.

Yujin glanced at the two of them.

Gu Jiao wore an innocent face, I really didn’t mean to do this.

Yujin smiled, not seeming to mind, and pointed to the stairs, “Please, miss.”

Gu Jiao ascended the steps and arrived inside the pavilion.

The Crown Prince’s wife was there too.

However, Gu Jiao paid no attention to her; from the moment she entered the pavilion, her gaze was captured by Princess Xinyang at the center of the pavilion.

She was dressed in a plain white waist-tied Luo skirt with a semi-transparent golden shawl over it, elegant and stately, extravagantly simple, and exuded an extraordinary demeanor.

Her dress and attire were not ostentatious, yet still exuded an air of imperial grace, as if a phoenix had descended, radiating the noble aura of the Imperial Family.

No wonder such a lady would willingly bow and serve.

She truly had the bearing.

Gu Jiao was dazzled beyond belief.

But at the same time, she was somewhat puzzled, feeling as though she had seen that face somewhere before?

It was no wonder Gu Jiao couldn’t immediately recall; in the Vermilion Bird Avenue mansion, she had only seen half of a pale face, and even that was only a brief glimpse.

Princess Xinyang today, dressed in opulent attire and with meticulous makeup, didn’t show any signs of illness.

The Crown Prince’s wife introduced, “Miss Gu, this is Princess Xinyang.”

Princess, Xinyang?

Gu Jiao’s eyes darted toward the other person!

The Crown Prince’s wife continued, “Princess Xinyang, this is the eldest daughter of the Marquis Residence, Miss Gu.”

“It’s been several years, your appearance has certainly changed,” said Princess Xinyang, who had met Gu Jinyu before but was not familiar with her.

The Crown Prince’s wife elaborated, “This is the eldest daughter of Marquis Residence, who has been living among commoners since childhood, and only recently returned to Capital City. Gu Jinyu is the second daughter of the Marquis Residence.”

Princess Xinyang had no interest in other families’ affairs; she was only curious about someone who could pique Long Yi’s interest.

She looked at Gu Jiao and asked, “Has Long Yi seen you before?”

Long Yi?

That Dragon Shadow Guard’s name is Long Yi?

In the underground Martial Arts Arena, she thought it against the rules even to consider the name ‘Dragon Tyrant’, for it was offensive to the emperor, yet this guy could actually be named Long Yi.

With such a background, truly impressive!

“I haven’t seen him,” Gu Jiao said without changing her expression. She couldn’t expose her visits to the underground Martial Arts Arena; she was still waiting to skimp off the Crown Prince.
