Chapter 476: Gu Ruxue’s Adulthood Ceremony

Chapter 476: Gu Ruxue’s Adulthood Ceremony

The idea went inside her head for a long while.

Only now did she think of Princess Xunyang who once mentioned the Princess Consort of Lord Ling. Was Princess Xunyang getting on well with the Princess Consort of Lord Ling?

Gu Chaoyan spared a look at the Princess Consort of Lord Ling. She did not look like any of the other ladies in the capital. She looked quite imposing and serious.

Now she believed that Lord Ling was lucky to have married someone like the Princess Consort.

She could not help but appreciate the Princess Consort a little bit more.

The Princess Consort also gave Gu Chaoyan a nod.

As they walked into the mansion, Gu Chaoyan saw how the mansion was decorated. She thought that thanks to Mrs. Gu’s usual behavior, the scene would have been rather spectacular. Yet what was presented in front of her…

There were a few guests on the spot.

Apart from the seats for the Gu Family, the remaining seats were vacant. Some officials were present, yet none of them was familiar to Gu Chaoyan.

She thought for a while, before coming to the conclusion that they were here way too early.

Gu Chaoyan sat and drank tea, yet no more guests arrived even when the Adulthood Ceremony started.

Mrs. Gu left to run other errands.

Gu Xiuying and Gu Caiqin took the front seats just to show their faces. So Gu Chaoyan was surrounded by no one. However, instead of going anywhere, she sat quietly.

“Elder Miss, I can tell that there are too few guests here, why is the ceremony starting now?” Sword One asked in confusion.

Gu Chaoyan suggested that she should not chit chat at Lord Ling’s mansion, so Sword One shut her mouth.

However, then came a voice from behind. “The invitations were sent, but no one came.”

Gu Chaoyan took a look around…

It was the Princess Consort who was talking and who had taken the seat next to Gu Chaoyan.

She spoke frankly.

Seeing Gu Chaoyan’s startled look, she continued instead of commenting on that. “In the Saint Divine Land, there is no such thing as marrying the Equal Princess Consort, but this man broke the rules. What is more, this Adulthood Ceremony is held after the wedding, and that is against the rules again. It is totally against the law of the Saint Divine Land for women that haven’t become an adult to get married.”

“…”

“And those officials are not stupid. They would not be present even if they stand by Lord Ling’s side. They don’t want to leave any traces in history. He is the Lord so he doesn’t care, but the officers do! That is why no one is here – well, that was not the original plan.”

The Princess Consort was talking in a very modest way as if what she was saying had nothing to do with her at all.

Gu Chaoyan became increasingly curious about the Princess Consort.

What kind of woman was she for her to become so frank and open-minded.

The Princess Consort seemed to trust Gu Chaoyan so she continued. “Only the County Princess and the lady from the Huo Family would be willing to be the assistant and the witness. Normally, ladies from the right family would never be here.”

Gu Chaoyan was about to speak, when another figure took the other seat and asked curiously, “I never expected that the silent and elegant Princess Consort could be so talkative. Are you talking with Lady Chaoyan because she is prettier than I am?”

The Princess Consort frowned. What was the Princess Concubine doing here?

“That is possible.” Gu Chaoyan responded seriously. That was a proper reason to tell them on their first meeting.

The Princess Concubine almost puked blood out of surprise.

She was about to counter, when a loud noise of birds chirping sounded in Lord Ling’s Mansion.
