The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 879

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.
