NovelEnglishChapter 708 - Displeasure
Gu Ruxue was confident when she asked the question, because she was sure that no one was going to shine brighter than she did for the Spring Hunt. Lord Ling told her that there were only a few magical monsters available and she could get one, not Gu Chaoyan.
Gu Chaoyan was just a daughter born to a businesswoman and had even been driven out of the Gu Family! Why did Lord Huai still want to marry her?
Well Gu Ruxue had thought about it - she was going to shine at the Spring Hunt and she was going to exceed Gu Chaoyan. She wanted the men of the world to take a good look at her and think that she was much better than someone like Gu Chaoyan!
Hearing that Gu Ruxue was asking Gu Chaoyan about her mount, the Second Lady of the Chu Family knew clearly what Gu Ruxue meant. It was time for her to suck up to Gu Ruxue, so she added bravely, "I don't think Lord Huai has prepared one for her."

Well… It was an imperial banquet where ladies were all out to have some fun.
The Second Lady of the Chu Family was also at the proper age for marriage.
Her purpose was to marry someone from the powerful Gu Family and as long as she was able to marry someone from the Gu Family, she was definitely going to be more powerful than her Elder Sister.
That was why she kept behaving so exaggeratingly when sharing the same table as Princess Consort of Ling.
The Second Lady of the Chu Family even sneered at Gu Chaoyan as she finished saying these words.
Gu Chaoyan frowned at the two ladies, looking quite displeased.
She was about to say something when Madame Min next to them could not stand it but said calmly, "The Spring Hunt is held every year in the Saint Divine Land, and the reason why the Spring Hunt is held is because we got the land on horseback. It is a peaceful time now, but the late King expected that everyone in our country should be aware of the potential danger so the Spring Hunt event is held. In this way, everyone from the Saint Divine Land should remember that even if there is no war, we should stay alert."
"…"
"Hunting is what is competed at the Spring Hunt each year no matter who the participants are, not the mounts. What is the meaning of the Spring Hunt if mounts are to be compared?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMadame Min sounded very serious as she was speaking. She was looking at Gu Ruxue as she snapped these words.
Madame Min would not have said anything if she had not heard those words, but those words were spoken in front of her, so she would not pretend as if she had not heard a thing. She did not care if that girl was the Phoenix Girl or some Princess Consort. She could not allow such an air to spread around in the court.
The Saint Divine Land was a powerful land, but stupid people should not be allowed to twist the meaning of the Spring Hunt.
"What do you mean, do you know…" Gu Ruxue had not met someone who dared to counter her for a long while. So she just could not stand what Madame Min said to her today.
Everyone was flattering her, and it was so embarrassing to be humiliated at the imperial banquet.
Gu Ruxue was about to argue with Madame Min, but the Second Lady of the Chu Family stopped her and said, "Princess Consort, please, I need to speak with you, let's talk there, okay?"
