The fourth prince summoning Gu Hua Jing was originally just a small episode of the poetry feast, but at this moment, the small episode had already become the main theme.

How could anyone else have the heart to appreciate poems? Their eyes inevitably swept over the people in the center of the disturbance.

Gu Hua Jing leaned on Yang Jia Yao's body, her face was pale, her breath was drifting, and her eyes were lowered. She didn't look at anyone, this kind of weakness and perseverance was unavoidable, causing people to feel pity for her.

Moreover, he had just heard that this was an old ailment. The Fourth Miss of the Gu family had once been famous for her health, so why was she so weak now?

Could it be that the rumor of her almost dying in the Bai Clan was true?

A searching gaze swept between Gu Hua Jing and Bai Lingtian. Some people already had their own thoughts in their hearts. It seemed that the matter of the Gu Family and Bai Family leaving each other wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.

There was also one other person who piqued the curiosity of others, and that was Bai Lingtian's close friend, Han Xizhi.

This person was risking his life in front of Bai Lingtian, yet he had stood up to speak up for Gu Hua Jing. Every word he said was for Gu Hua Jing's sake. Could it be that he was …

What a big play!

The expressions of the people in the bamboo forest were all different. They only hoped that there would be another wave, so that they could satisfy their hunger and curiosity.

The fourth prince, Feng Yao, was still being escorted by a group of people. Bai Lingtian and Han Xi were accompanying them as they tried to appraise the poems in the bamboo forest.

The atmosphere was very calm and strange. Everyone was extremely excited, but they had to maintain a calm expression, which made Gu Hua Jing sigh in amazement.

"Fourth sister, how about we go back first?" You are not feeling well, I will just go and say a word to Lady Shao. "

Gu Hua Jing nodded. She came today to accompany Yang Jia Yao, but the atmosphere was too weird right now so it was better for her to leave as soon as possible.

So Yang Jiayao told the girls to take good care of Gu Hua Jing. She went to the back to bid farewell to Lady Shao, then returned.

Seeing that Yang Jiayao had left, some bold girls came over to see if there was anything they could help with. They also tried to find out about her situation at the Bai Clan.

Gu Hua Jing's face was very calm, "This is all part of the past, and I don't want to bring it up too much. I just want to see the good of the years and the peace and stability of this world."

"…" These girls all had a sighing look on their faces, but the maidservants behind Gu Hua Jing all lowered their heads in unison.

When the Miss was at home, she would often tell them that if they met someone outside that she didn't want to bother with, they could just say whatever it was they wanted and let them figure it out for themselves.

At this moment, it was obvious that the Miss did not want to answer, or else she would not have said such things. She would have long since held the young ladies' delicate hands and gotten close to them.

At this moment, Gu Hua Jing's heart was filled with joy. From today onwards, her attitude of not wanting to marry again would probably be known by everyone.

In this way, as long as her father had a better son, then her wish would be fulfilled.

Actually, the people's style in the imperial court was still very open. Gu Huaxin had heard a lot of gossip when she had nothing to do, and this wasn't the case for a widowed woman to raise a pretty boy.

She could completely follow his example. The adonis was docile and had good looks, but the key was that he did not have any status suppression. It was too fitting of his intentions.

Gu Hua Jing was already planning for the future. In any case, with her wealth, she didn't even have the slightest bit of pressure to support eight people!

Gu Hua Jing raised her head and saw the corner of Qing Mei's mouth twitch, "Miss, please don't laugh, it will be exposed."

"Right, right."

Gu Hua Jing immediately put down the corner of her mouth. She looked like she was about to die.

"The third prince has arrived!"

Gu Hua Jing was waiting for Yang Jia Yao when she suddenly saw a group of people enter the bamboo forest.

What kind of lucky day was it today? Why did another prince come?

Gu Hua Jing suddenly felt that these high and mighty people were just too incorruptible. Shouldn't they have all sorts of things on their hands? Weren't they supposed to go all out just because the storage was about to be opened? What was the point of having a poetry club like this?

What made Gu Hua Jing curious was that the attitudes of the people here were vastly different from when the Second Prince had arrived.

When they previously heard that the Second Prince was coming, their eyes were filled with longing and anticipation. Although they were intimidated by the Second Prince's imposing manner, they still watched from afar with admiration.

And now that the third prince had arrived, other than a few women who appeared excited, the others didn't seem to care?

The group of people finally arrived at a place that Gu Hua Jing could clearly see. The several servants leading the group moved to the sides, and a man dressed in purple clothes walked out from within them.

Gu Hua Jing's pupils shrank. This was the most awe-inspiring beauty she had ever seen since arriving here!

She had never seen anyone wear purple with such elegance and elegance, as if it were a color born for him.

His almond-shaped eyes moved up and down, and his impeccable appearance was mixed with boundless grace and grace. He only needed to casually stand there to create an extremely eye-catching scenery.

This is … Third Prince?

Gu Hua Jing was still in shock, but she saw that someone had already walked up to welcome him.

It was a woman who shyly and timidly greeted her. The third prince, Feng Rong, smiled good-naturedly as he said something to her, causing the beauty to laugh lightly.

Seeing this, a few more people surrounded him, as if they weren't afraid of the Third Prince's title. Or was it that the Third Prince's attitude was too amiable?

However, Gu Hua Jing realized that most of the people surrounding her were women. Men, especially scholars who thought they were great, were also respectful, but they always had a look of disdain on their faces.

And why?

"Miss, the Third Prince is also extremely famous in the city. However, he is different from the Second and Fourth Princes. The Third Prince's reputation lies in his mediocrity."

The green branch saw the doubt in Gu Hua Jing's eyes and bent down to explain.

Ordinary?

Gu Hua Jing looked at him once more with a serious expression. The more she looked at him, the more perplexed she became. Such a person should be a dragon and phoenix among men. Why would he talk about mediocrity?

"The Third Prince's looks are inferior to the Second Prince's, and his martial arts inferior to the Fourth Prince's, but his appearance is so beautiful that he has never avoided the attention of girls. Right now, who knows how many peerless women already exist in the mansion that the Third Prince has bestowed upon them."

"…" To sum it up, it was better than not having enough strength. In any case, if he didn't have enough ability, then he would just rely on his looks and play around with others?

Gu Hua Jing gave a frustrated sigh. She raised her head and suddenly discovered that the third prince was walking towards her!

"Will I be able to make it if I faint now?"

"Miss, why don't you say a few words before fainting? It looks more like it."

"…" Gu Hua Jing had suffered so much for her sake, yet she still had to show her fear and joy. This would be difficult for her.

When they got closer, Gu Hua Jing was stifled by Feng Rong's exceptionally handsome appearance. It was just too beautiful! Perfect as art!

Every curve was perfectly fitting. This was the first time Gu Hua Jing had seen someone with a perfect pore. She couldn't help but be stunned, and it was only when someone reminded her that she finally remembered to pay her respects.

"You're Miss Gu?"

The lazy and magnetic voice added a bit more points, Gu Hua Jing was sincerely beginning to feel that the creator would be biased.

Was he that famous? If a prince came and asked her once, would he be so free that he, a nameless newbie, would be interested in them?

Gu Hua Jing grumbled in her heart, but on the surface she replied in accordance with the rules.

"It's me."

A smile appeared on Feng Rong's face, and she was shockingly beautiful. He turned to look at Bai Lingtian and said, "I find that this girl is quite good. She is very obedient, and Bai Qing has high standards."

Bai Lingtian lowered his head, his expression stiff.

Feng Rong turned her head back and said, "When I saw it today, I realized that some of the rumors in the capital were not true. It was only because of Miss Gu's supernatural talents that she spread those rumors. Lady Gu, don't worry."

"Thank you, Your Highness, I did not take it to heart."

"That's more like it. Although Bai Qing's standards are a bit high, but this lady is an elegant and refined person. How can there be no admirers?"

Feng Rong chuckled lightly. Her deep voice seemed to have a magic to it, making people unable to stop themselves from indulging in it.

She actually felt that what the Third Prince said was correct. Bai Lingtian didn't think much of her because he was blind. There were many people who liked her, such as Shen Lixuan and Han …

"Jingjing!"

Yang Jiayao's voice seemed to carry a hint of coldness, which immediately cleared Gu Hua Jing's mind a lot.

What had she been thinking? She was actually thinking of marrying someone to make Bai Lingtian regret it. Was her head kicked in the head?

Feng Rong calmly looked at Gu Hua Jing's eyes that had regained their clarity, feeling slightly surprised in her heart. His voice just now had used a bit of internal energy. To martial practitioners, it might only be considered as interference, but it was a kind of bewitchment towards a powerless woman.

However, Gu Hua Jing was only confused for a split-second. In the blink of an eye, she had returned to her resolute state of mind.

It was no wonder that Shen Lixuan and Han Xizhi hadn't succeeded for so long. This woman was indeed a bit different.

"Jingjing, are you alright?"

Yang Jiayao didn't expect to see such a scene upon returning. Gu Hua Jing was once again surrounded by people, scaring her to the point that her three souls and seven souls were at a loss of their positions.

"I'm fine. His Highness only asked me a few questions."

Gu Hua Jing's face was pale as she unsteadily explained.

Hearing her say that she was fine, Yang Jiayao felt at ease. Just the Third Prince?

She looked up and saw Feng Rong looking at them with a smile. Yang Jiayao's cheeks immediately turned red and quickly lowered her head again.

"Why is Imperial Brother free to come to the Shao Family today?"

The fourth prince slowly spoke, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment.

Feng Rong slowly turned around with a smile still on her face, "I'm just a casual person who can gather wherever there's excitement. But Fourth Brother, you never show up at a banquet like this. What's going on? Does the Shao Family have anything interesting?"

Although Feng Rong spoke with squinted eyes and a smile, a layer of chilliness covered Feng Yao's entire body.

"Since royal brother likes liveliness, then little brother won't disturb your elegance."

After speaking, Feng Yao turned around and walked away. His lower part drew a graceful arc in the air without the slightest hesitation.

The atmosphere between the princes wasn't very harmonious …

Gu Hua Jing leaned against Yang Jia Yao and sniffed her body's fragrance with her nose, before squinting her eyes in satisfaction.

It was as if the Fourth Prince really looked down on his older brother, and his words and actions carried a trace of disdain.

The third prince, on the other hand, still had a devilish smile on his face. He was not the slightest bit angered by the fourth prince's attitude.

No wonder people thought that the Third Prince was very close and mediocre. Even as a prince, he didn't have much prestige in front of his own younger brother. Who would think that he was a threat?
