Gu Hua Jing carelessly leaned against the pillow, "This mama thinks that I'm throwing a tantrum with His Highness?" "Hur Hur Hur, how would I dare?"
Senior Servant Tian really didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't understand either. How did the relationship between the young miss and His Highness end up like this?
He was clearly doing well before, why did he suddenly …
In the past few days, there had always been people coming over to him, asking him to persuade the young lady. But how could he do that? Miss … He didn't do anything wrong?
"Miss, why don't you go to His Highness's study and bring a bowl of sweet soup? "His Royal Highness has never come to your place, those despicable fools have never come to pay respects to you, even if it's just a few days, they don't put you in their eyes at all."
"Let them go. If they miss this rule, they won't be able to live on."
Gu Hua Jing narrowed her eyes, looking completely lazy.
Since no one came to disturb her, she enjoyed the peace and quiet. Wasn't it good to have an employment relationship with Feng Rong?
She was enjoying herself in the yard, doing nothing but cooking. Although she had no books to read, she could still find other entertainment.
"But Miss …"
Senior Servant Tian still wanted to persuade her, but Gu Hua Jing closed her eyes tiredly. She could only stop and shake her head as she left the room.
It was impossible that Feng Rong didn't know about the matters in the backyard.
Gu Hua Jing laughed and curled her lips. What else could he do?
He had the money to live his life without relying on him, and he didn't need to fight for favors with others. Other than making things difficult for him on a small matter, what else could he do?
He was still counting on himself to take care of Ah Ze's body …
"Get out."
The music in the room suddenly stopped. The woman hurriedly went out with her instrument with her head lowered. Tears could be seen from the corner of her eyes.
What happened to His Highness? She had never spoken in such a harsh tone before. Had she played in the wrong voice?
Lei saw another woman running away while crying and shook his head in sympathy.
In the next second, he began to sympathize with her, His Highness called him.
Tightening his vigilance, Lei saw that Feng Rong seemed to be deep in thought after entering the room, so he obediently stood on the spot.
Feng Rong really couldn't do anything to Gu Hua Jing.
Elder Li had just diagnosed with Ah Ze. Although the color wasn't big, it was actually a bit better.
It was not easy.
That woman had relied on her request to put on a cold front all day, who would she show it to?
Which kind of woman wasn't charming and gentle, which was why they liked her? What did she look like?
"Go and give Lord Liao two gifts. There is no need to be too formal. Pick out something that a woman would like and congratulate him for obtaining Lin'er's good fortune."
"Yes, this subordinate will do it right away."
"Two servings should not be the same. Liao Qing is also a capable person. His wife and concubine are both happy, and he can even maintain the safety of his house. He is also a talented person."
Seeing this, Lei couldn't help but sneakily glance at Feng Rong before pretending to speak carelessly.
"I heard that this Lord Liao has a well-known respect for his wife and has never really blushed before. Outside, Madam Liao also highly values Lord Liao. Everyone says that Lord Liao's ability to coax people is top-notch."
Feng Rong glanced at Lei and said, "You've made quite a bit of inquiries."
"Hur Hur Hur, your subordinate did hear it while I was at it."
Seeing that Feng Rong was not angered, Lei was elated. "Your subordinate knew a few people in Lord Liao's mansion. I heard that Lord Liao had a request for Lady Liao. Women are always coaxed. If you please him well, then everything will be fine."
As they spoke, they noticed that something was wrong with Feng Rong's gaze, so they quickly concluded, "This subordinate has only said that. Sir Liao's backyard is too harmonious, hehehe."
"You still have the time to ask about these things? I'm guessing that you're too idle."
"Your Highness …"
When Lei saw that his face had turned bitter, he wished he could swallow his words back down.
Feng Rong glared at him, "Why aren't you leaving?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Lei saw that they had retreated, he wiped off the sweat on his forehead.
In the past, he would never have dared to speak of such things, but now that His Highness was in a good mood, it was simply too inspiring. He couldn't wait to recover to that state.
Within the room, Feng Rong narrowed her eyes and pondered.
Coax? He had never coaxed a woman before. Usually, the moment he looked at them, they would pounce on him on their own accord.
Besides, why did he want to coax Gu Hua Jing?
The voice drifted out from the white wall.
Gu Hua Jing fiddled with the strings of the zither and played the familiar zither music in her mind.
Outside the wall, Feng Rong stood there, quietly listening.
The zither music of the woman in the backyard seemed to have grown a bit tired of her lately, but she didn't expect that what this woman played was still somewhat interesting.
Feng Rong suddenly recalled that Gu Hua Jing had also played and sung the same song when they were dancing.
It was a song filled with deep emotions. Could it be that she was still thinking about Bai Lingtian?
Feng Rong narrowed her eyes as she coldly snorted in her heart. Then, she turned around and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, the tune changed and the melody that he had heard before began playing once again.
Feng Rong stopped in her tracks, but didn't turn back as she quietly listened to Gu Hua Jing's voice.
"Don't talk about the past anymore. Life has already become stormy …"
Hearing it again was still touching.
Feng Rong had always felt that this song was something that Gu Hua Jing was mourning for.
Remembering her love and adoration, as well as her fate with Bai Lingtian.
"It's really going to end now, let's continue tomorrow …"
Fortunately, she was able to recognize the current situation and knew that it was about to end.
A smile was plastered on Feng Rong's lips, but she couldn't help but prick up her ears. Gu Hua Jing hadn't finished singing this song, and he suddenly wanted to hear what she was going to sing.
"Because I still dream and put you in my heart. I am always easily moved by the past and always feel heartache for you."
"Don't dwell on the passing of time. I don't have any intention to have a myriad of flirtatious feelings. Don't ask me if we meet again. Don't care whether my words are sincere or not."
"Clang!"
Suddenly, someone kicked open the courtyard's gate with a kick. The loud sound caused the singing to come to a screeching halt.
Gu Hua Jing raised her head and saw Feng Rong's ice-cold expression.
You can't even play the zither in your own yard and sing? He was going to throw the guqin away too?
Gu Hua Jing's expression also turned cold. Don't go too far!
Lei saw that there was a meaningful look in his eyes, and he sent his underlings away. He himself secretly hid in the shadows and secretly prayed that there wouldn't be any more trouble.
"For whom do you feel heartache? "Hmm?"
With a gloomy face, Feng Rong stared at Gu Hua Jing, completely at a loss as to what to do.
"Who are you going to meet? Speak up! "
Although she didn't react to Feng Rong's question, his imposing manner still frightened Gu Hua Jing.
"What are you talking about?"
"What did I say? Don't you know? Such a sorrowful song, is it not the voice in your heart? "
Feng Rong sneered, "And you still think you can get back on good terms with Bai Lingtian? "In your dreams!"
Gu Hua Jing really wanted to roll her eyes. Those were lyrics, what did it have to do with her?!
"You misunderstand, I don't have that kind of thought."
"Misunderstanding?"
Feng Rong acted as if she had heard a joke. With a wave of her hand, Gu Hua Jing felt a gust of wind and then the guqin in front of her split into two halves.
She was so close to Qin Guan, was Feng Rong not afraid of hurting him?!
Gu Hua Jing's face turned pale white. She raised her head and angrily glared at Feng Rong.
"You don't want to pretend? Heh, I didn't expect you to be so nostalgic. "
"What are you trying to say?"
Gu Hua Jing wrinkled her brows, her heart full of impatience and anger.
"Did you catch me red-handed, or did you catch me in bed with someone? What's more, have I ever neglected Ah Ze's ability to raise a general? What does what I do have to do with you? "
In an instant, Feng Rong's eyes were extremely terrifying.
Gu Hua Jing had thoughts of retreating, but then she thought, where can I retreat to?
It would be better to be clear about it than to be eccentric.
Gu Hua Jing's gaze did not shrink back, her eyes filled with anger.
Feng Rong had never been stared at so harshly by a woman in her life. However, this woman was simply too despicable.
The corner of his mouth suddenly curled up, and he slowly walked towards Gu Hua Jing.
Walking up to her, Feng Rong stretched out a hand to pinch her chin and lifted her face.
"I don't care what you think, but you'd better behave. Remember your current identity, you're my secondary wife."
"There's no need for Your Highness to remind me."
With a loosen of Feng Rong's hand, Gu Hua Jing's face turned to the side.
It wasn't that she wouldn't compromise, but that she wasn't willing.
Why did she have to obey him even if he threatened her? She was just a tool to fulfill her duty. There were many people fighting over her in the backyard.
She didn't want to waste that effort.
It was rare for Gu Hua Jing to be so stubborn, causing Feng Rong to be so angry. Was she this stubborn towards Bai Lingtian?
However, she was his side wife now. Even if she had other intentions, so what?
Feng Rong sneered as she turned around and left the courtyard.
Gu Hua Jing was also quite bored. She got someone to pack up her broken guqin and went back to her room to rest.
After a long time, in a corner of the courtyard's outer wall, a woman's stiff hands and feet moved. She cautiously crawled out, slipped away like a wisp of smoke, and ran away.
The atmosphere in the yard became strange.
Although Gu Hua Jing didn't have any reaction, there was a stagnant atmosphere in the mansion.
Everything was normal for them, but on the contrary, it was abnormal for them.
Green Plum, Bamboo Wine, and Green Branch, they always wanted to find an opportunity to persuade her. But before they could say anything, Gu Hua Jing would tell them to stop.
Senior Servant Tian was even more worried. Just as she racked her brains to think of a way to resolve the problem, someone from the Third Prince's Estate arrived.
The people from the palace wanted to summon Gu Hua Jing to the palace to pay their respects.
"Miss, this, this, this …"
Gu Hua Jing felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Enter the palace? Why?
He wasn't the official wife of a prince, so where would he need to go to the palace to pay respects? Then why are there so many famous princes? Could it be that all of them want to enter the palace?
"I heard that of the princes' madame, you are the first one to be summoned. The rest depends on the mood of the nobles within the palace."
Gu Hua Jing became even more depressed. She wanted to be a low-key person without a sense of presence. She wanted to enter the palace or something, but couldn't she go?
"The empress wants to see you. Where else can I go?"
After Senior Servant Tian recovered from her surprise, she prepared everything for Gu Hua Jing in high spirits.
Hmph, her young miss can enter the palace to pay respects. How can those monsters in the backyard compare?
