1436: To the Imperial Tombs 1

To the Imperial Tombs 1

At Xinlin Mansion.1

Sword One and Qing were helping Gu Chaoyan dress up, but Sword One and Qing had serious expressions on their faces too.

Sword One and Qing, by this point, understood what was going on. Destiny Monk said that the Phoenix Girl would only be the lady from the Gu Family. Since Gu Ruxue and Gu Xiuying failed to open the door to enchantment, their Elder Miss was the only one left. Although she had not tried to put her hands on it, their Elder Miss should more or less be the one. Otherwise Gu Zhenkang would not have come to the door and tried to make a deal.

They had never expected that their Elder Miss would be the Phoenix Girl. They were shocked, but they were also looking after Elder Miss so that she would not be demeaned.

Well…

The King had not arranged anything for Elder Miss. No one from the Ministry of Rites showed up. The treatment they received was totally different compared to the other two ladies.

Although there was no one from the Ministry of Rites, Sword One and Qing still believed that Elder Miss should appear at the tombs in an elegant manner.

So they seemed very serious compared to Gu Chaoyan.

Qing was combing her hair, whilst Sword One was looking for the most suitable blouse, then she said, "Elder Miss, should we dress you in the blue clothes from the banquet? It was from the mansion for the banquet at the Min Family. Today is a nice occasion to wear it."

Sword One already fetched the clothes and showed it to Gu Chaoyan.

Gu Chaoyan had just asked Qing to remove a hairpin and saw the clothes, frowning. "No need. I can be dressed in the same way I am used to. We can treat it as usual, also…"

"…"

"I may not be able to open it."

"…"

"No need to show off. I will still be me, even if I can open the door to enchantment."

She thought for a while and continued. "Fetch me a plain, white brocade dress. That will do."

Having said this… she looked at the desk and picked up an exquisite jade and placed it in Qing's hands, telling her to put it on her dress later.

Qing almost laughed helplessly. Elder Miss had just added one single ornament for this important occasion, but that was what Elder Miss was like, anyway.

After quickly being dressed, Gu Chaoyan walked out of the room and saw Zhou Huaijin. He was waiting for her in a black robe with an umbrella, which made him stand out vividly against the whole snow. He looked as handsome as ever as he took a few steps forward and held an umbrella over her head.

"Let's leave." Zhou Huaijin sounded a bit hoarse as he placed the hand-fireplace into her hands, leading her away.

He had never thought that Chaoyan might be the Phoenix Girl.

He even wished that she was not the one. When someone had a special identity, she would need to bear the honor that was brought to her. Naturally, she would have a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders. And she might even have to bear the fall and rise of the Saint Divine Land.
