415 Eldest Miss, You’re Really Too Beautiful
Seeing that Gu Qingxue had woken up, the maid heaved a long sigh of relief. “Eldest Miss, it’s like this. It’s almost time for the court session. The imperial duke has already stood up to prepare. Eldest Miss should also freshen up and dress up.”
When Gu Qingxue heard this, she raised her head and looked at the dark sky outside the window.
There were still at least four hours before daybreak. Did the ministers usually have to wake up so early to attend court?
Gu Qingxue rubbed her brows, feeling a slight headache. “I know, I’ll change my clothes and go out for a walk.”
The maid’s respectful voice sounded from outside the door, “Eldest Miss, the clothes you need to wear to enter the palace need to be slightly more grand. The Madam has specifically instructed this servant to bring people to serve.”
When Gu Qingxue heard the maidservant say that it was Madam Qiao’s order, she could only obediently obey. She answered and opened the door to let the young girls outside.
The maidservants were holding all kinds of jewelry and clothes, as well as rouge and powder.
“I wonder how Eldest Miss usually likes to dress?” The leading maid smiled and asked for Gu Qingxue’s opinion.
Gu Qingxue felt a headache coming on when she saw so many clothes and headdresses. “The simpler the better. To the public, I’m just a female doctor. It’ll be strange if I dress too extravagantly.”
The maidservant nodded obediently, then picked out a simple and elegant blue dress for Gu Qingxue. The dress was decorated with exquisite plum blossoms that looked like falling snow. With a snow-white scarf, it did not look too grand, but it didn’t look too shabby either.
Gu Qingxue was surprisingly satisfied with this dress. After she changed into it, she refused the maidservants’ help in applying her makeup. Even when she was combing her hair, she refused the maidservants’ suggestion of decorating her hair with large pieces of jade and pearls. She insisted on only using a silver hairpin inlaid with pearls to tie her hair.
However, even without any makeup, Gu Qingxue’s stunning beauty could not be ignored. She had just finished dressing up, and she had successfully attracted the exclamations of the maids.
Even though they were both women, the maids could npt help but be deeply impressed by Gu Qingxue’s beauty.
“Eldest Miss, you’re so beautiful.” The servant girl stood behind Gu Qingxue, admiring her beauty.
Gu Qingxue laughed, and her gaze immediately fell on the three little cubs lying on the bed.
The little ones were not disturbed. They were obediently lying in bed and sleeping soundly. Their adorable appearance made Gu Qingxue’s heart soften.
“Don’t wake them up, let them wake up on their own. Let’s go, we’ll leave the room.” Gu Qingxue retracted her gaze, stood up, and left with the maids.
They left the room to have their meal. After Gu Qingxue made all the necessary preparations, she and the Duke of war took a carriage and arrived outside the palace.
At this time, the sky was just beginning to light up. The entire Palace was like a sleeping dragon that had not yet awakened.
Gu Qingxue got out of the car and clearly felt a gust of cold wind blowing at her. She couldn’t help but reach out and pull up her collar.
As soon as she got out of the car, a cloak was draped over her shoulders.
A warm and familiar aura occupied Gu Qingxue’s senses. She looked up in surprise and saw Rong Zhan.
“It’s cold in the morning, why didn’t you wear more?” Rong Zhan lowered his eyes and asked Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue put on the cloak. “I forgot to bring my cloak when I went out. Thank you, Your Royal Highness. How long have you been here? Why aren’t you going in?”
