Many eyes fell on Xin You, but Xin You only had eyes for the girl.
It wasn't the girl's words, but a picture that appeared before her eyes unexpectedly.
A man threw himself to the side in a panic. The beast chasing him had no time to turn and rushed forward. In front of the beast was the frightened girl.
Almost instantly, the girl was knocked up by the beast and then fell heavily to the ground.
Xin You only had time to see the long knife slashing at the beast before the scene disappeared.
In front of her was Yuxue's cute girl, casting curious glances at her.
Princess Zhaoyang didn't stop, and her eyes couldn't help but cast on Xin You's face.
Apart from this, this girl is indeed very similar to her. Judging from her appearance alone, she looks more like her daughter than Ful.
Even with Princess Zhaoyang's status, it is inevitable to feel a bit strange when seeing someone who looks like her. After novelty comes doubt.
She looks like a noble girl by her clothes, how come she has never seen her before?
Seeing Princess Zhaoyang approaching, Xin You and Duan Yunling bowed and stepped aside to get out of the way.
Princess Zhaoyang stopped and asked Xinyou, "Which family are you from?"
Xin You lowered her head slightly: "The girl is the niece of Duan Shaoqing from Taipu Temple."
As soon as they heard that she was Duan Shaoqing's niece, many people hugging Princess Zhaoyang reacted.
Hey, isn't this the legendary cousin girl? She also opened a bookstore and has been in the limelight recently.
Those eyes were glued to Xin You's face, because the girl's words came first, and the more they looked at her, the more they felt like Princess Zhaoyang.
Many people secretly exchanged glances.
This cousin looks a lot like the eldest princess. I don’t know if it’s trouble or luck.
"From Shaoqing's house?" Princess Zhaoyang no longer felt strange upon hearing this.
She has not attended many banquets in the past year and has almost no interaction with the circle of Shaoqing's house.
"May I have your name?"
"The civilian girl's surname is Kou, and her maiden name is Qingqing."
"Qingqing——" Princess Zhaoyang smiled, "The name is very nice. Let's go play."
After saying this, Princess Zhaoyang walked towards the continuous tents in front.
After the group of people walked away, Duan Yunling breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my god, Cousin Qing, the eldest princess actually talked to you!"
"Cousin Ling, haven't you seen the eldest princess before?"
"In a mansion like ours, how can we have the opportunity to interact with the eldest princess? Even in the autumn last year, my grandmother took us to greet the eldest princess and followed many people. Grandma could not talk to the eldest princess alone. "
Duan Yunling looked at Xin You carefully, as if he was meeting her for the first time: "If my cousin had followed her to pay her respects last year, others might have noticed that she looks like the eldest princess."
"A few similarities can't change anything. There are many similar people in the world." Xin You said lightly, not in a good mood.
The resemblance to the eldest princess also means that she is similar to the father she has never met.
It’s frustrating to think about.
As for whether her resemblance to the eldest princess would arouse suspicion, she was not worried. Who would think that they are related by blood just because the cousin of the Shaoqing Mansion looks like the eldest princess? Kou Qingqing has always looked like this.
Princess Zhaoyang sat down in the tent and asked others: "Is there any reason why Miss Kou lives in her uncle's house?"
Kou Qingqing went to Beijing four years ago and began to observe filial piety for three years. Until last year, she only went out two or three times except for filial piety, so few people saw her. There are even fewer noble ladies who have frequent contacts with Princess Zhaoyang and the Shaoqing Mansion.
However, although the people present had never met Kou Qingqing, they were familiar with the cousin's deeds.
Princess Zhaoyang soon came to a basic understanding, and when she thought of the generous girl just now, she felt a little more pity.
People came to pay their respects one after another. These people all came in groups. They said hello to the eldest princess Zhaoyang from a distance and then left, so as not to disturb the eldest princess's purity.
When a wave of people came, someone reminded Princess Zhaoyang in her ear: "The one wearing brown trousers is the old lady of Shaoqing Mansion."
The eldest princess Zhaoyang called the old lady forward and said with a smile: "I just met your granddaughter. She is really a beautiful child."
The old lady was at a loss, but she didn't dare to be scornful: "That girl is clumsy and despicable. She would never dare to be praised like this by His Highness."
"I am looking forward to finding you a good match." Princess Zhaoyang didn't say much and let the old lady leave.
If she hadn't heard that the girl was an orphan, the eldest princess would not have called the old lady of the Shaoqing Mansion to talk. And everyone present also understood that with the words of the eldest princess, the Shaoqing Mansion would definitely be more attentive to the cousin.
The old lady left with doubts and immediately sent her maid to look for Xin You.
"Grandma is looking for me."
"Qingqing, did you just meet the eldest princess?"
Xinyou nodded.
"What did you say in front of the eldest princess?" The old lady mentioned the eldest princess's special treatment.
"He asked me which family I was from. As for the eldest princess to notice, it may be because His Highness loves girls and talks like children, and suddenly said that I have some resemblance to His Highness."
These words shocked the old lady. She couldn't help but look at her granddaughter carefully, and then tried to recall the appearance of the eldest princess. Sure enough, she was somewhat similar.
The old lady suddenly felt complicated and murmured: "I really never found out..."
Mrs. Gu Changbo also said something similar to the old lady.
Mrs. Gu Changbo knew that she would not be welcomed by Princess Zhaoyang, so she only went to ask for a greeting and then escaped. However, this kind of news always spread quickly, and it didn't take long for her to hear about it from others.
"I met Miss Kou today, and I thought she looked vaguely familiar." Mrs. Gu Changbo said with a smile.
"No." Others echoed.
In fact, if the daughter of the eldest princess had not pointed it out, these ladies, who would not take a little girl of ordinary background seriously, would not even think of the eldest princess.
Mrs. Gu Changbo thought of the several times Princess Zhaoyang had made sarcastic remarks to the concubines, including Concubine Shu, because of Queen Xin's departure, and she felt even less favorable towards the cousin of the Shaoqing Mansion.
There is no way his son should be associated with this Kou girl.
Where did Ze'er go again?
Mrs. Guchangbo looked around.
Xin You, who became the center of today's topic, is dragging Duan Yunling along and is looking for the place where the incident occurred in the picture.
Through recall, she recognized the beast in the picture as a wild boar. The person being chased by the wild boar also recognized him, and it was none other than Dai Ze, the crown prince of Guchang Bo.
In other words, Dai Ze somehow provoked the wild boar to chase him, and he avoided it, but the little girl named "Fu'er" was hit by the wild boar and was thrown away. She didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
If she were an ordinary person, Xin You could still remind her under the guise of physiognomy, but this is the daughter of the eldest princess, and she might be taken away as soon as she opens her mouth.
After much deliberation, it was safest to wait near the incident site in advance and rescue the girl in time when the accident occurred.
Xin You looked at a bush of wild chrysanthemums and stopped.
