Chapter 808: Are We Going to Let Gu Rao Off Just Like That?

When the siblings heard this, they turned around.
Gu Rao was surrounded by a few young ladies from prestigious families in the capital.
They smiled sweetly and were asking about the makeup on her forehead.
Gu Nuo’er’s long eyelashes fluttered as she looked at the flower bud between Gu Rao’s eyebrows.
She used light yellow ink to draw the appearance of a three-petaled flower.
Although her eyes were slender and looked small, this yellow flower actually added a little more grace to her.
It immediately made her originally ordinary facial features look a little more beautiful.
That was why she was surrounded and questioned by the young ladies who had gone to buy rouge.
Drawing a flower design between one’s eyebrows was not something created by
Gu Rao.
However, the shape of the flower between her eyebrows was very special.
Ordinary girls liked to draw plum blossoms, but this flower only had three petals and looked very unique.
Gu Rao was praised by them.
She was naturally extremely proud.
However, she still pretended to be humble.
She hooked her hair with her hand and said with a smile, “It’s just an ordinary flower. Thank you for your praise. I feel embarra.s.sed.”
A young lady at the side said with a smile, “Commandery Princess Rouqing is too humble. How is this flower ordinary? It looks extremely beautiful!”
Gu Zitang listened for a long time and couldn’t help but sneer. “Why does this flower look so familiar?”
Gu Nuo’er pursed her lips slightly, her voice soft but calm.
“Of course it looks familiar. I drew it for Mother.’
Gu Zitang was stunned.
He was enlightened.
“That’s right, I remember now. The flower between Mother Qiao’s eyebrows was drawn with the essence of a Flaming Epiphyllum that was worth 1,000 gold per flower.”
After saying that, Gu Zitang gritted his teeth and looked at Gu Rao in disgust.
“She even lied and said that it was an ordinary flower. She was clearly imitating Mother Qiao. She’s so disgusting!”
However, Gu Nuo’er felt a little puzzled.
She blinked and pondered for a moment before saying, “But Mother only drew this flower on the autumn hunt a year ago. At that time, Gu Rao wasn’t in the capital. How did she find out?”
Gu Zitang rolled up his sleeves. “What else could it be? When we were hunting, all the officials brought their families along. Someone must have seen it.
After Prince Guang’s family came to the capital, although they were not liked, they had been behaving themselves these few days. Due to his status as a prince, there would definitely be people currying up to them.
“Someone must have told Gu Rao about this makeup. I think it’s probably to make Gu Rao stand out on the day of the Double Third Festival. Everyone says that the Double Third Festival is a festival for females. Wouldn’t it be letting her off easy to let her wear Mother Qiao’s flower design?” The more Gu Zitang spoke, the angrier he became.
“Sister, I’ll go teach her a lesson now!”
After he finished speaking, he didn’t hear the child’s answer.
Gu Zitang turned around and saw that Gu Nuo’er had already run away.
She was attracted by a vendor selling red date pastries. The child smiled, her eyes curved, and her face was red.
“Grandpa, I want two date pastries!”
“Alright!”
Gu Zitang almost staggered and fell.
Gu Rao was already imitating n.o.ble Consort Qiao like this. It was obvious that she wanted to take advantage of the large number of people at the Double Third Festival to shine.
How could his sister still be so calm?!
Gu Nuo’er came back after buying something and held up a date pastry with her small hand. “Second Brother, this is for you.”
Gu Zitang took it and muttered, “Sister, are we going to let Gu Rao off just like that?”
The child blinked her grape-like black eyes. “Oh, then what does Brother want
to do?”
Before Gu Zitang could finish speaking, Gu Nuo’er smiled mysteriously.
She blinked playfully and said, “Brother, don’t worry. Trying to emulate something beyond one’s ability will cause one to fall flat on one’s face. When the time comes, it’ll be on her to have made a fool of herself!” Gu Zitang saw that his sister seemed to have a brilliant plan.
