Chapter 1341: Chapter 1341 His Taste

After facing setbacks on the first day, Yue Rujing felt quite repulsed by these girls. Whenever others stared at him, he always thought they were judging his less-than-robust physique, which made him somewhat self-conscious.

Gu Youyou teased him, saying, “People’s perceptions differ from place to place. If they don’t fancy you, it doesn’t mean you’re lacking. Don’t overthink it, just let them take a good look with confidence.”

“Ah, the girls in Zhuzhao Country are much better,” Yue Rujing sighed softly. “The girls in Zhuzhao glance demurely, unlike the women here who stare unchecked.”

Gu Youyou suggested, “I once went to Nanzhao Country with Zijin and saw how people there matched through singing mountain songs. If they sang correctly, they’d row together to the Marriage Fate Platform. Why don’t you give it a try?”

Yue Rujing snorted, “You mentioned those are just ordinary people. Even the marriages within the Nanzhao Imperial Family are merely interest exchanges. You’re overthinking it.”

Gu Youyou pursed her lips, choosing not to further discuss the topic.

Seeing that Searcy had prepared everything and was waiting outside, Gu Youyou stood up, dusted off her skirt, and with a touch of schadenfreude said, “Well, fret slowly. I heard the Commandery Princess from the family of the Eighth Prince will be coming soon. She’s quite intellectual; maybe she’ll fancy your type?”

Gu Youyou left with Searcy after speaking. Today, her senior brother had also gone out early, leaving Yue Rujing alone in the posthouse, feeling extremely annoyed. He had no choice but to deal with it since he was on others’ turf.

He was determined to handle Yu Jizi. Follow current novᴇls on nοvelfire.net

After Gu Youyou and the others left, soon a doorman reported that the Commandery Princess from the family of the Eighth Prince had arrived.

An elegant young lady gracefully stepped in, and upon seeing her poise and gentle brows, Yue Rujing suddenly felt a lot happier.

That’s how a girl should be — taking small steps, smiling without showing her teeth. He found this Commandery Princess quite appealing.

“Prince Yue,” the young lady nodded slightly at him.

Yue Rujing smiled, raised his hand to salute, and said, “Commandery Princess, please come inside…”

This was probably the only perfect start for Yue Rujing in these many days of matchmaking.

The Commandery Princess, seeing such a jade-like man, also had affectionate eyes, her every frown and smile full of shyness.

Yue Rujing felt women should be . After seeing off Princess Zhao Yuezhi, he thought he would have much to say when his senior and Gu Youyou returned, at least no longer being mocked by them.

Meanwhile, for Gu Youyou, it was her last time treating the Empress Dowager; the Empress Dowager’s illness was completely under control, though to prevent her pneumonia from relapsing, she needed another two courses of medication.

Gu Youyou handed the prescription to the accompanying Fifteenth Prince, saying, “The necessary medicines and usage are listed here. You can send someone to fetch them from me, though my current supply is limited, so it might not be complete. You can also gather herbs from the mountains, but if you’re unsure, it could be troublesome. My advice is to buy them from Jisheng Hall in Lingnan, where the medicine is comprehensive. For the sake of the Empress Dowager’s health, I hope you can set aside any prejudices.”

The Empress Dowager, being treated by Gu Youyou, had been brainwashed by her various methods and could now accept the medicines from Zhuzhao Country, though she hiddenly maintained her pride.

When Gu Youyou suggested they buy medicine from Zhuzhao Country, the Empress Dowager pretended not to hear, turning her face to look elsewhere.
