The empress said a few more words, but they were nothing more than family matters. Perhaps she was afraid that Gu Hua Jing would become jealous and lose face for the imperial family.

Gu Hua Jing respectfully received the instruction, and the rules she learned from the palace's mama weren't bad at all.

The empress nodded inwardly and dismissed her.

Gu Hua Jing left the empress's place and a eunuch came out from the side, saying that it was Empress Jing that wanted to see her.

Hearing Jing Fei's name, Gu Hua Jing's heart suddenly jumped, He's coming.

Following the eunuch out was a rather large imperial harem. Gu Hua Jing was drenched in sweat before she finally arrived at Lady Jing's side.

Jing Fei, Feng Rong had just mentioned this to him, so her presence in the palace wasn't that great.

Imperial Concubine Li was favored by the empress, with Imperial Concubine Rong having the greatest family influence. Consort De and Imperial Concubine Fu had the highest presence because they were the second and fourth imperial concubines.

In comparison, Jing Fei was a little easy to ignore.

"But her kindness has never stopped. Every month, royal father would go to her palace like thunder. According to the people in the palace, it's probably because royal father pitied the three children that she died for no reason."

When Feng Rong said this to her, Gu Hua Jing shuddered.

Three children...

What kind of blow would it be for a mother to lose three children in a row? The palace was truly in a state of panic.

"Madam, please wait here for a moment. We will go in and notify them."

The young eunuch giggled as he retreated, while Gu Hua Jing obediently stood there.

Feng Rong told her that if she could have a good relationship with esteemed wangfei, it would be even better if she could obtain her trust.

"Grand Concubine Jing once had some buddhist karma with Master Hui Jin, so there's a high chance that you'll be summoned by esteemed wangfei upon entering the palace. This is an opportunity."

"As for … what method you use to attract the Empress's attention is all up to you."

When Feng Rong said these words to her, Gu Hua Jing really wanted to swallow the word 'deal' back in her mouth.

Was he thinking too highly of her?

She was just a girl without high ambitions. She really didn't know how to fight in the palace. The Empress of the palace was interested in something, but she didn't know a single thing. How was she supposed to get close to him?

Gu Hua Jing was worried to death. If she had known this earlier, she would have chatted with Master Hui Jin when they were at Jade Flower Temple.

"The Empress invites you in."

Gu Hua Jing came back to her senses and followed closely behind.

Her palace was not as grand as the empress's, but it was exquisite and rich.

Gu Hua Jing's horizons had been broadened, and he could distinguish between the good and bad things.

Some of the more precious items here weren't worse off than the empress's.

It looked like this esteemed wangfei really did have a great favor up her sleeve.

After entering, she knelt down to give her regards. A gentle voice entered her ears, "Hurry and get up, I want to give you a seat."

Immediately, a palace maid placed an embroidered block behind her, Gu Huaji thanked her elegantly, and sat down halfway.

"I heard that you entered the palace today, so I sent someone to invite you here. Please do not take offense to my sudden appearance."

"I am indebted to the Empress for summoning me. It is this humble one's fortune."

"You really know how to talk. Raise your head and let me take a look?"

Gu Hua Jing slowly raised her eyes. When she clearly saw the appearance of esteemed Empress Jing, her pupils couldn't help but constrict.

No wonder Esteemed Empress Jing was so favored. She was a … a great beauty!

She was gentle and beautiful, like a person in a painting. The corner of her lips curled up into a smile, making one feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze!

Gu Hua Jing was stunned. If not for the palace maid's reminder, she would have continued to be rude.

Quickly lowering her head, Gu Hua Jing's face flushed red. I'm finished, I'm finished. This habit of mine, the habit of loving beauties, is going to get her killed.

Feng Rong had hoped to leave a good impression on esteemed wangfei, but this was great.

Suddenly, Gu Hua Jing heard a burst of gentle laughter.

Her peripheral vision swept over the crowd. Esteemed wangfei was using a handkerchief to cover her mouth and was laughing softly.

"Truly an interesting child, no wonder he was able to obtain the guidance of Master Hui Jin."

"I …"

"There's no need to be so formal with me. You can all go down, there's no need to scare her."

Hearing this, all the court ladies and eunuchs who were serving him bowed their heads and filed out.

Gu Hua Jing's nerves tensed up. Could it be that Empress Jing had something to say to her?

When there was no one left, Esteemed Empress Jing spoke up gently. "The reason I called you here today was to ask you about Master Hui Jin's matters. He …." "Is that good?"

Gu Hua Jing did her best to restrain her rapidly opening brain. With a calm voice, she said, "Master looked at her healthy body. Her knowledge of Buddhism is extremely deep and worthy of respect."

"Yeah, it's just that under Master Hui Jin's guidance, before that time, one won't be able to comprehend it …"

Grand Concubine Jing seemed to be recalling something as she spoke with a sorrowful tone.

With this thought, esteemed wangfei actually fell silent, as if deep in thought.

Gu Hua Jing couldn't casually speak, so she could only sit beside him. A strange silence spread throughout the room, making Gu Hua Jing feel somewhat awkward.

After a while, Jing Fei seemed to come back to her senses. She spoke a few words of instruction to Gu Hua Jing in a tone that was neither painful nor itchy. She just needed to be faithful to women's morals and the like.

Gu Hua Jing lightly bit her lips, "Empress, your body …" Are you tired? "

"How did you know?"

"I know some medicinal food …"

"The emperor has arrived …!"

Gu Hua Jing was only halfway through her words when she was interrupted by a sharp voice.

Her heart trembled. Your majesty? Why did the emperor come out as well?

Esteemed Empress Jing immediately stood up. Gu Hua Jing's sharp eyes noticed that her body was swaying slightly.

The bead curtain was lifted, revealing a bright yellow voice. Gu Hua Jing quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"My beloved concubine, why are all these servants waiting outside?"

"It's chenqie who's worried that this child will be restrained and shy."

"This is Old Third's wife?"

Gu Hua Jing swallowed her saliva and was about to speak when she heard the emperor continue, "To be able to receive Master Hui Jin's guidance, you must be a good person. My beloved concubine also owes it to Master Hui Jin to guide her."

"Many thanks for Your Majesty's grace, but this child's identity … chenqie only called him over to say a few words when the empress summoned her."

"If my beloved concubine wants it, I'll give you this right. You can summon her anytime you want. How about it?"

"..." Your concubine thanks you. "

From start to finish, Gu Hua Jing had kneeled there with her head lowered. The cold feeling of the white jade was seeping into her knees.

"Alright, you can leave now. Third Bro …" "Ai …"

The emperor seemed to be a bit impatient, waving his sleeves for Gu Hua Jing to leave.

Only then did Gu Hua Jing finally show her gratitude, stand up and slowly leave.

Why do I feel that the Emperor seems to have some objection to the Configurehead? And there was also Lady Jing. Didn't they say that there were favors? Listening up, it didn't seem to be as she had imagined?

"Hiss …"

Gu Hua Jing pinched her palm, holding back the aching pain in her knee, she discovered that the sedan chair that had brought her into the palace was no longer there.

"…"

Are you sure you aren't mistaken? Can't you be a little more disciplined? Was he supposed to walk out of the palace by leaning on his legs?

Gu Hua Jing sighed in her heart, but no matter how unwilling she was, what could she do?

Let's go.

She resigned herself to closing her eyes and walked away along the palace wall.

"Gu …" "Miss?"

Hearing someone call out to her, Gu Hua Jing turned her head in surprise. How could there be someone she knew in her own palace?

However, when she looked at it, Gu Hua Jing immediately felt a headache.

"Young Master Han."

"I didn't expect to meet Miss Gu here. It really is fate."

Han Xizhi, still looking like a popinjay, walked over slowly with a smile on his handsome face.

"Miss Gu is leaving the palace?"

"Exactly."

"Wu … This place is still quite a distance away from the palace gate."

"…"

Gu Hua Jing wanted to roll her eyes. She knew, how could he not remind her?

"This little girl will not disturb Young Master Han."

"If you don't want to disturb me, then I am about to leave the palace. Why don't you accompany me?"

"That's not so good, is it?"

Gu Hua Jing was a married woman with Han Xi as her playboy companion. She immediately wanted to refuse.

However, Han Xizhi was faster than her. He pointed at the palace maids and eunuchs behind her. "With someone as a witness, what is Miss Gu afraid of?"

Gu Hua Jing was too lazy to bother with him, so she simply buried her head and continued forward.

The corner of Han Xi's mouth hooked up as he chased after her.

"I have not yet congratulated you on your great success. Your status in the capital is greatly admired by many. The newly wedded Yan Er, Qin Se and Ming Ming Ming are truly enviable."

"If Young Master Han is envious, then hurry up and get married."

"It's easy to get married. However, if you want to find someone who suits you, it will be very difficult."

Gu Hua Jing couldn't help herself, and really rolled her eyes at Han Xizhi. What did he mean by saying all this to her?

"I don't have any other intentions, I'm just sighing."

Han Xizhi found Gu Hua Jing's reaction very interesting, and he couldn't help but laugh.

After a while, a glint flashed across his eyes as he casually said, "However, Miss knows that you have gained the favor of the Third Prince and have also contributed greatly to it. Otherwise, Miss might have to compromise for the rest of her life in the Bai Clan."

Hearing this, Gu Hua Jing stopped and frowned as she looked at him.

"Do you have any shame? "You're still proud of your ability to stand up to them, aren't you?"

"Of course I'm proud. What I can't get, I can't easily let others get their hands on either, right?"

Gu Hua Jing's chest was filled with anxiety. How could this person's skin be so thick?

"Even Brother Bai's life in the Bai Clan was not good. If you were still in the Bai Clan, you wouldn't even know how you died."

Gu Hua Jing acted as if she didn't hear him and continued to walk forward.

Han Xizhi did not care if she reacted or not, and he decided to tell her about the incident between Bai Lingtian and the Bai Clan as a joke.

Gu Hua Jing was astonished in her heart. Bai Lingtian had a falling out with the Bai Family? Why? He was the pride of the Bai Clan, why would the Bai Clan fall out with him?

Not going to be... Am I right?

Gu Hua Jing immediately denied that she didn't have that much charisma.

With Han Xizhi chattering on on the side, they quickly reached the entrance of the palace.

Gu Hua Jing found her car and turned to look at Han Xizhi.

"I can guess why you hate Bai Lingtian, but it's useless. Right now, you can only take his troubles as a form of entertainment. How could you compare to him? "

After Gu Hua Jing finished speaking, she turned around and entered the car.
