While Gu Hua Jing drank a mouthful of fragrant tea and rinsed her mouth, she looked at the green branch in amusement as she muttered to herself.

"Alright, it's getting late. It's not easy to wait until now, so I'll go take a look."

The dress that Gu Hua Jing had chosen for her from the bamboo wine today was a rose gold double layer wide silk embroidered silk dress. The golden silk embroidery line outlined complex and exquisite patterns, dazzling to the eye as it walked. It was extremely beautiful.

The gorgeous colors couldn't suppress Gu Hua Jing's complexion. Instead, it made her skin as white as snow, almost transparent.

On the bun, there was a tri-winged and lustrous pearl hairpin. It was extremely magnificent and slightly swayed in the dark hair, exuding bright and vibrant colors.

When Gu Hua Jing appeared in the antechamber, the sounds coming from inside seemed to have been cut off by someone, and she instantly froze.

She did not glance at him, but walked with dignity and elegance. She walked at a leisurely pace to her superior and sat down. Her eyes circled the room full of verdure, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The crowd who had been intimidated by Gu Hua Jing's beautiful appearance finally reacted and stood up to greet her.

"Greetings to Madam Wei."

"All of you, sit."

Gu Hua Jing looked serious, but in her heart she was full of praise.

Feng Rong is so capable. Where did you get so many beautiful girls?" How envious!

As she sat here, Gu Hua Jing suddenly felt as if she were the emperor, and the beautiful women sitting below her felt happy to see her in such a state.

"Madam, I know that the Madam is coming. I've been working hard these past few nights, and I've specially made a wager for her. My little intentions are not worthy of respect. Madam, please do not mind me …"

A little girl dressed in pink was the first to stand up. She had a lively and tender appearance, and a pure and charming face. In her hand was an exquisite Pink Blossom Lotus Bag. She timidly looked at Gu Hua Jing.

Gu Hua Jing felt her heart soften. Aiyo, such a beautiful girl made it for him?

"Not at all, just let me take a look."

Gu Hua Jing waved her hand, and a little girl dressed in pink walked over with a blushing face. Gu Hua Jing directly reached for her purse, but her fingers carelessly slid across her palm.

It felt good to be smooth and tender.

Green Plum and Green Branch helplessly looked at their young lady eating someone else's tofu. Both of them lowered their heads.

The young miss would not be jealous of these girls. They had guessed it, but they had not expected that the young miss would actually tease them! These were the women of the third prince's backyard!

After praising her so much, Gu Hua Jing's reaction made the girls sitting below feel a little dizzy.

Although she was just a side wife, she was still famous. How could she not have any reaction when she saw them?

Shouldn't he clear the rules and put on airs first?

The people in the crowd looked at each other with a profound look in their eyes. This side of the Madam was really shrewd …

Seeing that His Highness had gotten up so late, it could be seen that the rumors outside weren't all false. There must be something about this Gu Family's Fourth Miss that His Highness liked.

Looking at her current reaction, she feigned indifference. To be able to conceal her emotions so deeply, she was not an easy opponent to deal with!

After that, it was time for everyone to present their treasures.

All sorts of gifts were presented one after another to Gu Hua Jing. Some of them were wholeheartedly prepared, while others were extremely precious.

Gu Hua Jing didn't reject any of them. She asked Qing Mei to hand over the scarlet gold bangle that she had prepared earlier, one for each of them.

This present wasn't light either. There were so many people here, and Gu Hua Jing already felt a pang of heartache when she made her decision.

It was just that this was a rule, so Gu Hua Jing could only follow it. She couldn't help but complain in her heart about her appearance. Could she not hook up with a few people? So much gold... It was all money!

Gu Hua Jing wasn't used to people coming to greet her, so she didn't know what to ask at a time like this.

Thus, after they exchanged gifts, she became a little bored.

Her head was still hurting, Gu Hua Jing waved her hand to tell them to go back if they had nothing to do.

At this moment, a figure suddenly walked out from the crowd.

Gu Hua Jing looked over. It was a young girl with a delicate and beautiful face. She had the willfulness of a spoiled child.

As soon as she stood up, everyone in the audience fell silent. They all stared at her, as if they were waiting to see a good show.

"Madam, I'm Wan'er. I've been by Your Highness's side for quite some time, and now that I see Your Highness married to such a beautiful Madam, I can't help but feel extremely happy."

Gu Hua Jing looked at her with a smile that wasn't a smile. She didn't believe that she was only praising him.

As expected, after Lady Wan-Er said those proud words, she started to feel sorry for herself.

"Madame, you don't know that we sisters live in harmony with each other in this courtyard. Because our hearts are always on His Highness's side, sometimes, even if we suffer some grievances, we can only endure it and not bring His Highness any trouble."

"Now you're done. With the secondary wife acting as the judge, it's as if I have someone to rely on. I ask that the secondary wife differentiate between right and wrong, and even give me justice."

"…" Gu Hua Jing's head was already aching from the headache, so when she heard the prelude, she knew that it would definitely be a complicated matter.

Distinguish right from wrong? She wasn't in the magistrate court, and Feng Rong didn't give her money. So why would she put in so much effort to do such a thing?

Thus, Gu Hua Jing interrupted Wan'er, "It's been so long, and I'm already tired. If there's something else we can talk about, then we can talk about it in the future. Since all of you were able to live peacefully together, I presume you'll be able to do it in the future as well, or else, what qualifications do you have to stay in His Highness' courtyard?"

Gu Hua Jing's tone was light and indifferent, as if she didn't care at all. Wan-Er's face froze, revealing a look of disbelief.

Just like that? She was the secondary wife! Other than her, there was no one else with a higher position than her. Should she not take this opportunity to win over the hearts of the people and gain power?

Why does it seem like it doesn't matter? Didn't she want to capture them in her palm?

Wan'er wasn't willing to accept this. She was someone who could often speak in front of Feng Rong, but now, with just a single sentence, she had made Gu Hua Jing lose face. She bit her lip and spoke again.

"Madam, it's your responsibility to help His Highness resolve this problem. When we sisters are in trouble, we naturally have to look for her. If it's not an urgent matter, then I wouldn't dare to mention it in front of her. I beg you …"

"So my words cannot be compared to His Royal Highness' words?"

Gu Hua Jing suddenly laughed, "Do you think that it's actually my honor for you to be willing to tell me these things?"

"I, I dare not!"

Wan'er's heart was full of unwillingness, but she really didn't dare to let Gu Hua Jing know what she was really thinking. Thus, she hurriedly knelt down, her shoulders trembling. Her pitiful appearance.

Gu Hua Jing immediately had a feeling that she was an evil person, but this feeling … Not bad.

She didn't tell Wan-Er to get up. She just sat there. Her eyes were a bit dark. She looked around the room slowly.

As far as the eyes could see, everyone's eyes were looking down, causing Gu Hua Jing's heart to be satisfied.

"I don't like people coming to teach me anything, unless it's your highness or your future wife. Do you understand?"

Gu Hua Jing's eyes fell on the kneeling Wan'er, "In addition, I don't like to repeat myself. This time I will give you a lesson and kneel here for an hour before leaving. Everyone else will disperse first."

Just as Gu Hua Jing finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and bowed to her. No one was willing to plead on behalf of Wan'er.

When Gu Hua Jing left the front hall, the ladies cast a meaningful glance at Wan'er and quietly retreated.

Wan-Er's hand was on her knee. She clenched it into a fist.

Her eyes were downcast, and the tattered hair on her forehead fell to cover her resentful eyes.

Ever since she came to His Highness' residence, she had never felt this ashamed!

Although His Highness had never kept them, he had never punished them either! Why should this Gu Huaxin? What right did he have to make her kneel here?!

Wan-Er's palm was so soft that it was almost bleeding. She was shaking because of anger.

She was someone His Highness would call upon frequently, so she definitely wouldn't let Gu Hua Jing go, but she was just a side wife.

Hehehe, His Highness hates people who rely on his love to make a name for themselves. If His Highness finds out, Gu Hua Jing will definitely make him unhappy. At that time, I'll have to see what else this woman can rely on!

"Hehehehe, this time Wan'er was really careless. She thought that this side lady could help her make the decision."

"Who doesn't? Normally she relied on being able to show her face in front of His Highness, but now she has to pretend that someone bullied her."

"But I didn't expect that the madame would set the rules so easily. Didn't she know that Wan-Er was being pampered?"

"Who cares if she knows or not, but in this way, Qingge has escaped a calamity, right?"

The few of them turned their gazes towards Qingge, who was quietly walking on the side.

"Wan'er must have wanted to help Qingge with that matter previously. I thought that Madam Wei would definitely help her. Who knew that Madame Wei actually didn't even want to hear about it?"

"Let's not get involved. It is not over yet. With Wan-Er's personality, who was the one who lost in the end? It is not certain yet."

At this moment, Gu Hua Jing had already returned to her courtyard.

This courtyard was much larger than the one outside, and the little girls were busy cleaning up the boxes and cages inside.

Gu Hua Jing Yi leaned against the beauty, her chin resting on the back of her hand. She was bored to death.

It seemed that even if she married someone, there wouldn't be any difference?

His father was the emperor, but he was only a side wife. There was no need for him to go to the palace and pay respects.

Other than Feng Rong, there was no one else in the mansion who was on top of her. Gu Hua Jing was too lazy to bother with the matters of the concubines, so she didn't want to worry about anyone else.

As a result, she, the newlywed wife, seemed to have become the most idle person in the mansion, yet she was still so willing to be idle.

Gu Hua Jing immediately became happy. It wasn't as bad as she had imagined, how about … Go back to your room and get some sleep?
