Rong Jialuo respected Rong Che. He did not come out even after Rong Yan had kowtowed so many times, but when Rong Che came out, he came out as well. He helped Rong Che up and said, "Eighth brother, you are finally willing to come out."
Rong Jialuo arrived earlier than Rong Che, so he naturally saw them. However, he did not ask anyone to greet them.
Rong Jialuo was obviously closer to Rong Che as they talked more casually. They chatted for a while and ignored Rong Yan and the Gu sisters.
Gu Tianyi was still young and simple-minded. She and her sister had been kneeling there. As a commoner, they were not allowed to raise their heads to look at the crown prince without his permission.
However, her knees hurt from lying there for so long. Feeling indignant, she couldn't help but cough as a reminder.
Rong Jialuo seemed to have just remembered them. He glanced at the pair of sisters who were kneeling on the ground and smiled, "Oh, it's Miss Gu and Miss Gu." He then glanced at Rong Yan, "Is Your Highness trying to fool me?"
Rong Yan's handsome face turned pale and he kept saying that he did not dare to do so. He had always been short of wit and could not think of a reason to defend himself.
Gu Tianqing was more thoughtful and said softly, "Your Highness, please forgive us. We were supposed to come out to play and coincidentally met the twelfth prince on the way. The twelfth prince was worried that we would be in danger if no one was around to look after us, so he sent us off. Miss Gu wanted to come in and see what was going on. The twelfth prince and I could not dissuade her, so we came in together …"
Rong Yan seemed to be enlightened and quickly nodded, "Indeed … Indeed."
It was a good reason. If Rong Yan had explained it like this from the beginning, some people might have believed him, but now...
Rong Che knocked the fan on his palm and said with a smile, "I see. It is not worth anything. But why was the twelfth brother so nervous just now? You looked like you had a guilty conscience. "
Rong Yan was speechless. He had the urge to kick the eighth prince, who was always trying to sabotage him.
He could only say that he was too nervous and excited to see His Highness the Crown Prince, that his mind was muddled and he didn't hear His Highness the Crown Prince's question clearly.
However, which one of the people present was not a shrewd person? Of course, no one believed Rong Yan's nonsense.
Crown Prince Rong Jialuo did not believe him, but he did not point it out. He glanced at Rong Yan, turned around and was about to enter the house, "West Prince, please go ahead. Eighth Prince, follow me."
The storm seemed to have passed. Although Rong Yan was embarrassed, he felt ashamed. Just as he was about to leave with the two girls, the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet!
Gu Xijiu's heart skipped a beat. She leaned on the railing and looked down. A group of children in green clothes walked in.
These boys all looked to be around eleven or twelve years old. Their black hair hung down, and they wore bamboo hairpins on their heads. Each of them had delicate features, and what was even rarer was that they were all about the same size. Their movements were extremely uniform, and their green robes fluttered as they moved. It was as if they were walking on water, and it was extremely pleasing to the eye. There was a faint medicinal fragrance in the air, and it was refreshing.
"It's the Saint Lady of the Tianwen Clan..."
"The saint of the Tianwen Clan is here!" someone whispered excitedly.
