Chapter 18 Vicious Fake Gold 17
Qingyu suddenly had a guess. With a subtle glance, she tentatively asked, "Where did you get these clothes? You're not trying to frame me with something of dubious origin, are you?"
Ji Qingwei looked somewhat uneasy, but said firmly, "I won't hurt you! That dress... I don't think I'm worthy of it."
Ji Qingwei couldn't very well reveal the origin of the clothes. Lately, she had been receiving letters from a man in black, but upon opening the envelopes, she discovered—
It was actually written by His Highness Crown Prince Gu Ye!
Thinking of the person she had met that day, and combined with the tender words written in the letter, Ji Qingwei wondered if Gu Ye had contacted the wrong person.
But when she questioned the man in black, he remained silent and firmly handed her the letter.
This time, they even sent over an exquisite dress. Both its style and fabric were unlike anything found in the common people's homes, so it must have been made in the palace.
Ji Qingwei felt a chill run down her spine. Instead of feeling any joy at being noticed, she became even more suspicious that Gu Ye had taken a liking to her...
Perhaps it is Qingyu.
Because the clothes were clearly Qingyu's size, Ji Qingwei had already figured out Qingyu's size by giving her clothes many times. At this moment, just by touching and comparing, she had this bold idea.
For some reason, it was always delivered to her.
Qingyu hadn't expected Ji Qingwei to actually intend to send Gu Ye's gift; it really was...
The male and female leads are truly in love; they're not even afraid of being beheaded!
"I don't care!"
After casually making a sarcastic remark, Qingyu took the lead in getting into her carriage, which was already fully furnished and luxurious.
Ji Qingwei also took Ji Qingbao with her, but because men and women are different, the two sat separately.
The three carriages slowly made their way to their destination. Before long, Qingyu heard a great deal of noise outside the carriage, as if it were very lively.
She lifted a corner of the curtain and saw lanterns and ribbons of all kinds lining the streets, with men and women all wearing smiles.
"Miss, it'll be so beautiful here at night," Fuqin whispered excitedly, adding that they were going to the largest viewing platform. "Spots there are incredibly hard to come by. Apparently, the second young lady got these spots. I wonder where she got such connections?"
"Skills?" Qingyu chuckled lightly. Ji Qingwei did indeed have some skills. She seemed to have a natural talent for business, was literate, and had Gu Ye's admiration and Song Jinnian's assistance...
Just like in a game, she has attack and healing abilities, plus her background, which is enough for her to stand out.
These thoughts flashed through Qingyu's mind, but she was too lazy to answer. Instead, she remembered something else: "Is there any news from Zhu'er and Yuting?"
Fuqin paused for a moment, then honestly shook her head. "Neither Miss Nan nor Miss Zhang came to inform you... Miss, perhaps they went somewhere else. Maybe we'll run into them today."
Qingyu gave a nonchalant "hmm," but she was worried that she might get bored later, so she thought that if she went with someone she knew, it would be more fun to tease the male and female leads.
It's a pity that she had to come alone.
The rest of the journey was uneventful. When Qingyu and her group arrived at the viewing platform, it was crowded with people, all vying for the best vantage point.
The observation deck is supposed to be for sightseeing, but behind it is actually a huge restaurant with luxurious and elegant decor, frequented by the wealthy and powerful. However, today is a special day, and the observation deck is not only filled with dignitaries but also with some ordinary merchants, which is why it is so lively.
As soon as they got off the carriage, Ji Qingwei and Ji Qingbao quickly came to Qingyu's side, pushing Fuqin aside, and the two of them protected Qingyu on the left and right as they walked forward.
"Qingyu, I've arranged everything. Come with me," Ji Qingwei said softly, her tone full of confidence and pride. Qingyu glanced at her before slowly following the crowd.
Today, Qingyu, though dressed in a simple and elegant dress, resembles a blooming lotus flower, fresh and refined.
Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes as bright as stars, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, carrying a faint smile, like the spring sunshine.
Her appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.
People turned to look at the beautiful woman.
Her beauty lies not only in her appearance, but also in her eyes. Anyone who takes a liking to her is as if under a spell, unable to look away.
Every move she made exuded a unique charm that made people involuntarily fall for her.
Seeing this made Ji Qingwei feel increasingly uncomfortable, and she could only try her best to block their view.
Qingyu didn't care that she had become the focus of everyone's attention; in fact, she thought it was only natural.
After Qingyu and the others entered the room, people in the crowd began to whisper among themselves, speculating about Qingyu's identity and background.
This scene was witnessed by Gu Ye, who had been waiting for a long time. Unable to suppress his jealousy, Gu Ye immediately ordered Tian Yi, "Disturb their attention!"
He paused, then his sharp gaze fell on Tianyi, and he rebuked, "Did you really deliver the clothes? Why isn't she wearing them?"
Tianyi was sweating profusely and felt bitter inside. How could he know why Ji Qingwei wasn't wearing that dress?
He can't read minds!
Even if he continued to complain, Tianyi could only obediently admit his mistake and explain in a low voice, "Master, perhaps Miss Ji is just too shy..."
Gu Ye frowned, puzzled by this reason...
Just accept it reluctantly.
He then waved his hand, "Go and take care of other things."
Tianyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left.
----------
Upon entering the room, Qingyu realized that it was twice the size of an ordinary room, exquisitely furnished, and decorated with fine details, even featuring famous paintings.
Qingyu nodded in satisfaction; this place was more worthy of her.
Ji Qingwei, who was standing to the side, kept a close eye on Qingyu's expression. When she saw the latter's smile, she was overjoyed and laughed. "This place is barely enough, but at least we can find a place to stay. I'm sorry to have to make do with it, Qingyu."
Qingyu snorted and ignored Ji Qingwei. After all, this female lead had been bullied by her most of the time in the early stages. Now she was trying to please her, but who knows what she was planning to do behind her back!
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Ji Qingbao excitedly ran to open it, but when she saw who it was, she scratched her head in confusion, "You are—"
Qingyu lazily looked up and saw Gu Ye dressed in a blue robe, tall and elegant, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
"We meet again." Gu Ye said as he pushed Ji Qingbao aside and walked in. His steps were elegant, as if each step touched the hearts of everyone present.
Ji Qingbao was somewhat displeased, "Hey, who are you? This is our room!"
"Qingbao, you mustn't be rude! This is His Highness the Crown Prince!" Ji Qingwei quickly explained, but her words stunned Ji Qingbao.
Realizing what was happening, he tried to bow, but was stopped by the servant behind him. "Our master doesn't care about such empty titles."
He knew perfectly well that His Highness the Crown Prince was definitely interested in the girls here, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to try to please them.
As expected, Gu Ye nodded slightly in agreement, his eyes gentle, "Young Master Ji, there's no need to be afraid. Today, I'm just an ordinary person."
