Princess and the General

Chapter 18: Eldest Brother Looks Best

They saw Yu Fu wearing a pink, cloud-patterned brocade dress. The resplendent cloud-patterned brocade had been dyed pink, and its pink clouds were very eye-catching.

Her fine and soft hair had been styled into two small buns, with one on each side. There were all manners of gems in her hair, and little silver bells hung down on both sides.

With each step, the little silver bells quietly rang out. They made quite a pleasant sounding.

Because she was rather young, Aunt Li did not have anyone apply makeup on her. Just a touch of red was applied to the center of her forehead. This accentuated her snow-white skin and pink earrings.

Gu Xiang and Gu Yi looked at her in a daze.

"No wonder father wanted a daughter before we were born. It turns out that daughters really are much better looking than sons. Gu Xiang, don't you think so?"

Gu Yi's words praised Yu Fu, but this ended up offending all five of his older brothers and himself.

Gu Xiang did not want to admit it, but he could not help but nod.

This was because Yu Fu really was... too beautiful!

Yu Fu looked at their shocked expressions and lowered her head to look down at herself. She was also quite pleased.

Raising her head, she smiled at Aunt Li and the others and said: "This really is quite a beautiful look. Thank you, aunty. In the future, I will have sister Lian Zhu take care of my hair!"

As she happily said this, her head swayed a bit, and the two silver bells rang out beautifully. The cuteness was enough to melt their hearts.

"Young miss, these perfume pouches were sent by Lord Marquis and the four young sirs. Which one will you wear today?"

The dragon boat festival required that she wear a perfume pouch. This was something that Aunt Li had said yesterday, and Yu Fu remembered.

She, however, was in no rush to look at the perfume pouches. Instead, she went with Gu Xiang and Gu Yi to hang up the wormwood that the two had picked. Only after this did she turn to choose the perfume pouch.

"Did third brother also send a perfume pouch?"

Yu Fu hestitantly asked.

Who knew why, but Gu HanMo always had a cold expression. He was unlike his other brothers who frequently came to the Western Wing to play with her.

She always thought that Gu HanMo disliked her, thus she was a little reluctant to believe that he had also sent her a perfume pouch.

Lian Bi said: "That's right. Young miss, look. This black one was sent by the third young sir."

Black one?

Gu Xiang and Gu Yi looked at the platter. Sure enough, they saw a black perfume pouch with a qilin embroidered on it, and they could not help but burst out laughing.

"Third brother actually sent a black perfume pouch to Yu Fu. Hahaha, this really suits third brother's personality. He has absolutely no understanding of girls!"

This sort of color and pattern made it immediately clear that it was for males. How could it be suited to use by a cute girl like Yu Fu?

Yu Fu was also unable to control the corners of her lips, but she did manage to stop herself from laughing.

"I am already very happy to have received a perfume pouch from third brother. At the very least, it shows that he doesn't hate me, right?"

"Little Yu Fu, don't think about it too much. This is just how third brother is. He stays aloof when it comes to all people. He also doesn't like playing with others. Usually, he spends his time training with a sword or training with a sword. To say that he hates you would be wrongly blaming him."
