In front of the bed was a woman kneeling. Her figure was graceful and her face was extremely beautiful. In her hand was a lute that she gently played with, making sounds like jade.

Shen Lixuan quietly stood there, waiting for the end of the song. The person on the bed lazily waved his hand, and the woman hugged her lute as she left without making a single sound.

"Shen Qing, sit."

The person on the bed stirred, and he slowly sat up. His silky black hair casually draped over his back, flowing down from his shoulders with his movements.

With a face as fair as jade, a pair of long and narrow eyes seemed to be filled with emotion, and boundless feelings flowed within the eyes.

Her Weibo lips were as calm as water, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, forming an extremely beautiful and flirtatious look with her seductive eyes. Her face was pale and sickly, but it revealed a noble and elegant temperament that no one dared to look directly at.

"Your Highness."

Shen Lixuan's drunkenness was immediately apparent. He did not sit down, but only stood there quietly.

He was clearly aware of how dangerous the man in front of him was. He was not the well-renowned second prince, Feng Mu, or the fourth prince, Feng Yao, who held military power and made people tremble in fear.

He was Feng Rong, the Third Prince of the imperial court, the Third Prince who had achieved nothing in the eyes of the people.

However, Shen Lixuan knew how terrifying the Third Prince was.

No, not only him, there might be many people in the court who had seen the Third Prince's true appearance. However, they were all like him; they could only hide it in their hearts and pretend that they didn't know!

"It's been hard on Shen Qing these days. I've said it before, I definitely won't mistreat Shen Qing. A few days ago, there was a vacant seat in the Chief Emissary's office. Shen Qing, you should go and take up the next day."

A position that was not inferior to Bai Lingtian's, coming out of the Third Prince's mouth like it was nothing worth mentioning.

Shen Lixuan trembled slightly, "Your Highness …" But you want me to leave the capital? "

"It's fine if it's in the capital. But it's better to have more experience so that I can use it in the future."

Feng Rong supported her head with one hand, revealing a lazy and careless look.

"But, but I haven't been able to make the Gu family a part of Lord Gu's plans …"

Just as Shen Lixuan was about to say something, Feng Rong swept his gaze with a gaze seemingly filled with affection, causing Shen Lixuan to feel a chill all over her body.

"You just have to go. I have other plans for the Gu family."

Feng Rong narrowed her long and narrow eyes. The inside was as calm as always. The limitless charm surrounding her body seemed to be an illusion, trapping her in it, making it impossible for her to break free.

Shen Lixuan's feet couldn't move in the slightest. His usually calm and collected face was already completely pale, and cold sweat dripped from his temples.

He knew that he couldn't disobey His Highness' orders, but he still thought that other people would be like him, appearing in front of Gu Hua Jing.

"Alright, you can leave now. You just need to remember your duty."

A hint of impatience could be heard in Feng Rong's voice, and Shen Lixuan's back was immediately drenched in cold sweat. Without saying anything, he retreated.

Another voice suddenly sounded out in the room that was only left with the third prince.

"Your Highness, Young Master Han sent this subordinate with a letter for you. Please be at ease Your Highness. He will definitely be able to satisfy Your Highness."

Feng Rong didn't have any reaction. Her knuckles lightly tapped on the armrest as if she was hitting a beat, but also as if she was just casually tapping.

In the Gu family, the hidden power within the Gu family could only be used by him. No one could block him, and it was only a woman, so it was clear that Han Xi had been wronged.

Feng Rong's eyes lit up, the coldness in her eyes could freeze someone's blood. Although she was separated from a girl, the Gu family treated her like a pearl and treated her like a treasure, but her status and position could still be considered compatible.

However, there was actually such a woman. She was unmoved even when facing Shen Lixuan. This Miss Gu's appetite was a little too big …

Shen Lixuan emerged from the shop like a frosted eggplant.

No one had ever dared to disobey the Third Prince's decision. However, when he thought of that special woman, a certain part of his heart began to ache.

On the surface, His Highness seemed to be at peace with the world, but in reality, his magic power was boundless. The entire capital... No, the situation of the entire nation would not escape his notice.

Although it seemed as if the Second and Fourth Princes were at a stalemate, the truth was that more than half of their power was controlled by the Third Prince!

Since His Highness had taken a fancy to the Gu family, he definitely wouldn't let it fall into someone else's hands.

Shen Lixuan's vision turned black. He didn't know who would replace him next, but from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Gu Hua Jing would remain unmoved.

But if that was really the case, then if he angered the third prince …

This was the first time that Shen Lixuan had felt so conflicted and conflicted. He didn't know where to go in the bustling streets of Willow Locust Street …

At this moment, Gu Hua Jing had already sent someone to bring back the news of Bai Lingtian's promotion to the Gu family.

"Miss, are you in a good mood?"

Senior Servant Tian walked over to give a side question and received a hearty smile from Gu Hua Jing.

"Of course it's not bad. Bai Lingtian is a second rank official. When the Gu family and Bai family were at loggerheads, even if he wanted to take revenge, he wouldn't have the capability to do so."

Gu Hua Jing felt very comfortable all over. It was so comfortable that she wanted to howl a few times.

He always felt that his life had gone smoothly, that everything was on a normal path. As for the rest, he just needed to enjoy it.

When Senior Servant Tian heard this, the anger in her heart finally dissipated. She'd been worried for so many days, but now she was finally relieved.

When Senior Servant Tian heard that Gu Hua Jing had gone to the Imperial Dining Hall that day, she was so afraid that she didn't even dare to mention it.

From the looks of it, it was as xiaojie had said. If Bai Lingtian were to appear before xiaojie now, she would not be moved by his actions.

She had a prescription for medicinal food. It was not bad, but if she wanted to make money, she had to make sure that the recipe was not leaked out.

For medicinal cuisine, the medicinal ingredients required were extremely precise. For ordinary people, if they added a few more medicinal ingredients, they would simply be unable to distinguish them.

Therefore, this matter was of utmost importance to the restaurant. One had to be brave enough to come here and eat. In addition, one had to be a doctor.

"Have you seen all of these inns in the city? Is there a suitable candidate? "

The entire manager rubbed his hands together, "Miss, this old man has already drawn up one or two doctors. Ordinary diagnosis is no problem, but to say that they are the most suitable doctors is not necessarily the case."

"Oh, why is that?"

"If you want to establish a foothold in the capital, you need fame. If you have a famous doctor following you, you can consider it as a success."

How could Gu Hua Jing not know? But if she wanted to find a famous doctor, she would have to trouble the Gu Clan to help out.

She just didn't want to do it. This was her own problem, and she didn't want to trouble the Gu family.

"Alright, I got it. I'll have to trouble you all with your efforts."

The bamboo wine was given to the entire manager as a gift and he was sent out the door.

Doctor... Where could he go to find a famous doctor who was willing to live in a restaurant? Isn't this nonsense?

"Miss, the Gu family sent you a message. It's … It's from Eldest Young Mistress's people. They're in the outer hall. "

Gu Hua Jing was stunned. 'Sister-in-law?' Why would she send him a post?

Doubt arose in her heart, Gu Hua Jing decided to personally go to the front hall. She was indeed Qin Hui's personal mama.

"This old servant greets Fourth Miss."

"Exempt from formalities, please take a seat mama."

The old granny did not sit down, but handed over the golden thread in her hands to Qing Mei.

"Fourth Miss, our eldest young mistress accepted the invitation from the Kang Family of the Internal Affairs Bureau." Fourth Miss, our eldest young mistress accepted the invitation from the Kang Family of the Internal Affairs Bureau.

Gu Hua Jing smiled, "I accept elder sister-in-law's kind intentions. It's just that my identity is somewhat different from ordinary people. It wouldn't be good if I went to the banquet with elder sister-in-law."

"How could that be? Fourth Miss is overthinking things. Master often says that he hopes that Fourth Miss can walk around and relax. Eldest Young Mistress has sincerely invited Fourth Miss and hopes that she will not refuse."

So what was her sister-in-law planning? To say that Qin Wenzhou had decided to use this kind of method to resolve the conflict between them, Gu Hua Jing had no way of believing it.

With Qin Wenzhou's personality, the worse the situation, the more she resented him and the more she hated herself.

The corner of Gu Hua Jing's mouth widened into a smile, "Then, that day when I went to the Gu Residence to dine with my elder sister-in-law?"

"No no no, how can I bother Fourth Miss? "Eldest Young Mistress said that the Kang Family isn't far from where the Fourth Miss is. You can go there directly. Eldest Young Mistress will be waiting for you there."

After the old nanny said this, she didn't wait for Gu Hua Jing to say anything else and left in a hurry.

"Miss, look …"

When Qingmei presented her invitation, Gu Hua Jing glanced at it and lost all interest.

In this era, the recreation for women was really poor. Cultivating and nurturing their bodies, or taking care of their affairs as a concubine, the best way to describe it would be to invite them to all kinds of banquets.

They just ate, drank, and gossiped with each other, so that they wouldn't suffocate to death in their rooms.

Gu Hua Jing had attended several banquets and was already not very interested. However, she suddenly thought of the Jade Face Tea from the Imperial Dining Hall.

The entire manager said that Huaxia Restaurant had already received a purchase, and that the tea they bought was Jade Face Tea.

This era's promotion relied on rumours. The banquet invitation was the easiest opportunity to exchange information. Should she try it?

"Just leave it for now. There are still a few more days left."

A few days later, Gu Hua Jing still felt that it was time to go.

Although this was an invitation from Qin Wuren and gave her an ominous premonition, she wasn't afraid. She was the daughter of the Gu family, so even if she had left, her identity was still there.

The head storekeeper had said that the Jadeite Tea was very effective, and the price Gu Hua Jing had set wasn't low. In the past few days, two more people had gone to purchase it, which meant that it was very marketable.

No matter what, she couldn't get along with the money. Even though Gu Hua Jing's dowry was enough for her to spend, she still had an inexplicable obsession with money.

After changing into a fresh set of clothes, Gu Hua Jing dressed up a little and rode the carriage back to the Kang Residence.

When they got out of the car, Gu Hua Jing was surprised.

The mansion's entrance was already packed with carriages and horses. The bustling scene in front of the residence's entrance made Gu Hua Jing speechless. Just what was the purpose of the Kang Family inviting him for a banquet today?
