It was already noon when Sun Rumei brought Gu Moxue back to her courtyard in the front courtyard. Liu Hongyu brought Gu Morou back to her Magnificent Brocade City while Wang Xuetao also brought Gu Moyun back to her crabapple courtyard. They couldn't wait to plan their next move.

November 20th, was the annual Phoenix Festival of the Great Xia Kingdom Royal Family. On this day of every year, the empress would choose the most outstanding woman to be the wife of the members of the respective Royal families.

And all the girls that were able to participate in the Phoenix Festival were from high families and big families. Therefore, the few daughters of the Prime Minister were also invited.

Furthermore, the crown prince had already reached the appropriate age for marriage and had just cancelled the marriage agreement with Gu Shiyi. As the queen of the crown prince's birth mother, how could she let go of such a good opportunity to choose a wife for the crown prince?

In the Celestial Courtyard.

"Mother, do you think that Empress Queen will choose me?" Gu Moxue was holding a high quality snow silk on her body, gesturing with it. Although it was a question, her face was filled with confidence.

"Of course, my Xue'er is the best. Can you tell me what those two women gave birth to?" Sun Rumei's face was almost like a flower. Looking at Gu Moxue's figure that was as flexible as a willow, her beautiful face, that was as heavy as a fish falling to the ground, Sun Rumei felt even more satisfied.

If Gu Shiyi was the number one beauty in Great Xia Kingdom, then Gu Moxue would definitely be number two. However, so what if Gu Shiyi was number one? So what if she was trash, who would pay attention to him?

"That little bitch Gu Moyun, what kind of thing is she to dare think about the position of Crown Prince Concubine when she doesn't even look at herself in the mirror?" Gu Moxue looked at his beautiful face in the mirror, her eyebrows raised and his face filled with contempt.

Thinking about the promise the crown prince made to her a few days ago, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile. She hadn't told Sun Rumei about this yet, because she wanted to give her mother a big surprise.

"Mother, please let that trash Gu Shiyi go along!" Gu Moxue turned around and sneered. When she thought of the despairing look on Gu Shiyi's face when she was chosen by the empress as the crown prince's consort, she felt her mood improve.

So what if she was the direct descendant, so what if she was the number one beauty, how could she not be stomped fiercely by Gu Moxue?

Great Xia Kingdom was a country with a high status, but regarding the selection of the Crown Prince's consort, it did not care at all. Even though the Empress was the direct daughter of a famous family, she was not virtuous at all, and was born a concubine, but had an outstanding appearance, talent, and social status. For the sake of the overall situation of the country, the choice of the Empress and the Crown Princess was made based on talent and virtue, while the status of the family did not matter.

"If it wasn't for her, how could Xue'er have had a chance?" Gu Moxue reached out and caressed her face that she was proud of, she really wanted to thank this good little sister of hers. If not for her, she would at most be a fifth grade official's wife, but now, she had the chance to become the world's most respected woman!

"Xue'er is right, Gu Shiyi naturally has to participate as well!" After Sun Rumei finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled. If her daughter had thought of this, how could she, as a mother, not have thought of it?

Jinlan Academy.

"You damned girl, why have you not improved at all? Don't tell me you want to be a concubine like me?" Third Wife Liu Hongyu stared at her daughter Gu Morou, who was sitting in front of her, but could do nothing.

"Mother, isn't the wife of a small family free to do as she pleases?" Gu Morou frowned slightly, making her fair and pretty face look especially charming.

"Sigh, Mother isn't it yet. I hope that you can live a better life in the future!" Liu Hongyu sighed, this daughter of hers had her own ideas since she was young. As a mother, she couldn't help but act on her behalf.

"Could it be that Mother was better in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Estate?" Gu Morou asked. Rather than staying in a rich and powerful household and wrangling with others, she wanted to live a life where ordinary people could not scheme against her.

"Fine, I'll leave it to you!" Liu Hongyu sighed once again. In the end, she was convinced by her daughter.

In the Red Flower Courtyard.

"Mother has already taken out all the silver in her bag. You have to work hard!" Wang Xuedao looked on with a pained expression as Grandma Wang took a stack of silver bills from her hands.

She was the most unpopular girl in the backyard, and even her daughter Gu Moyun's rules had been broken. But she could already see the Phoenix Festival, even though her daughter was talented, but she didn't have any gorgeous clothes or jewelry, so she would definitely be outclassed by others.

Although it was still the same case where Sun Rumei prepared the Phoenix Festival's clothes and accessories for every little miss, Wang Xuetao knew that the best would definitely be Gu Moxue's without even thinking.

She definitely could not allow her daughter to lose on the Phoenix Festival this time. Thinking of this, Wang Xuetao clenched her teeth and took out all of her dowry, allowing her husband, Wang mama Wang, to prepare the clothes and accessories for Gu Moyun, the Phoenix Festival.

"Mother, you've treated Yun'er so well. Yun'er will definitely do his best this time!" Gu Moyun rested her head on Wang Xuetao's shoulder with a determined look. This was her only chance to turn the tables, she would definitely grab onto it firmly and prevent any mishap from happening.

"Idiot, you are mother's only daughter, if mother isn't good to you, who can be good to you!" The corner of Wang Xue's mouth revealed a bitter smile. It was all because she had offended Sun Rumei on the spur of the moment, causing her to be ignored by Gu Minghong. Even her daughter had suffered greatly.

Prince Su Mansion, study room.

Situ Jing stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the row of parasol trees outside, his eyes sharp, his entire body emitting a frightening yet ice-cold aura.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the records of that day's entry and exit were deliberately erased by someone." Bai Er was dressed in black and was kneeling on one knee. His forehead was covered in cold sweat.

If he couldn't even do such a small thing, how could he still be the number one hidden guard of the Bai Yi Pavilion?

"Who did it?" Situ Jing turned and walked to the desk, looking at the secret letter Bai Yi handed over, his left hand unconsciously tapped the table with his finger, his voice cold, his expression unreadable, making Bai Er even more nervous.

"When the clue reached the palace, it ended!" Bai Er's head was bowed. The sweat on his forehead was like soybeans dripping onto the ground, soaking a pattern on the carpet and causing it to turn a darker shade of color.

"Step down!" Situ Jing parted his thin lips, making it hard for people to tell what he was thinking.

Bai Er quickly left the study room without making a sound.

Situ Jing stopped hitting his, but instead smiled, it seems that woman was also not an ordinary person.

But thanks to the fact that she was not an ordinary person, otherwise he would already be a cripple!

Situ Jing's mind could not help but reappear, that dirty face with bright eyes.
