Gu Shengyin had Ming Que keep an eye on Cheng Lingyu's courtyard.
Ming Que did not understand why her master wanted her to keep an eye on the fifth young miss and make sure nothing happened to her.
However, she did not dare to ask too much about her master's intentions and could only comply.
Gu Shengyin observed Cheng Lingyu. Cheng Lingyu did not fall into the water that day and naturally did not catch a cold. On the second day, Cheng Lingyu was still the healthy Cheng Lingyu.
On the third day, it rained. When Cheng Lingyu was about to leave her room, she slipped and was about to fall. Ming Que, who was hiding in the dark, hurriedly sent a hidden force to Cheng Lingyu's body, stabilizing her shaky body.
Nothing happened on the fourth day. Nothing happened on the fifth day.
The sixth day was the old madam's birthday.
The country's great general's manor could be considered a first-rate family in the Tianxuan Dynasty. Almost all of the influential families in Huangfu sent representatives to congratulate the old madam on her birthday.
As the young miss of the general's manor, Cheng Lingyu naturally had to attend such an occasion.
Furthermore, the manor had specially prepared beautiful clothes for these unfavored young misses so that they would not disgrace the general's manor.
Cheng Lingyu tugged at the smooth material on her body and was a little reserved.
Gu Shengyin glanced at her and suddenly walked over: "You don't need to be too nervous. Just stay to the side and eat well."
Cheng Lingyu was startled and looked at the person in front of her. She did not think that her elder sister, who was the moon surrounded by stars, would come over to comfort her.
She was a little moved and bowed: "Thank you for your concern, elder sister."
Gu Shengyin nodded to her and left. If she was too close to Cheng Lingyu, it would not be good for her.
Ming Que continued to follow the fifth young miss in the shadows.
"His Highness the eldest prince and his Highness the second prince have arrived!" A shout came from afar.
Gu Shengyin looked up and saw two men dressed in black robes with cloud patterns that symbolized the royal family's status walking over.
The one on the left was slightly taller and had a gentle smile on his handsome face. This was the eldest prince, Xuan Tianhao, born from the Emperor and Empress. He was also the prince most likely to become the next Emperor.
On the right was the second prince, Xuan Tianche. His facial features were even more handsome than the eldest prince's. He had inherited the beauty of his mother's favorite concubine. His expression was not as gentle as the eldest prince's. Instead, it carried a sense of lofty arrogance.
However, no one felt that there was anything wrong with it. The prince of the imperial family naturally had the right to be proud.
When the First Prince saw Gu Shengyin, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The Empress's family had always wanted the First Prince to marry Cheng Linyin. That way, they would be able to gain the support of the Head Consecrator behind Cheng Linyin, and the First Prince's position would be even more stable.
They couldn't be blamed for being paranoid. Over the years, the Imperial Concubine's bloodline had been eyeing the Second Prince covetously. Now that the Second Prince had grown up and was quite outstanding, he was deeply loved by the Emperor.
They could not help but worry.
However, the Great General Protector's manor did not want Cheng Linyin to marry the First Prince. Their family was already extremely noble. There was no need for them to marry another girl into the imperial family to show off their nobility.
Also, since ancient times, it was fine if they succeeded in getting involved in the imperial family's struggles, but which of those who failed had a good ending?
Cheng Linyin did not have any feelings for the First Prince. Fortunately, she had a good teacher. If she was unwilling, no one could force her.
"Ah Yin, how long will you be staying at the manor this time?" The First Prince asked happily.
Gu Shengyin's expression was indifferent: "When Grandmother's birthday is over, I will return to the Xuantian Tower."
The First Prince was a little disappointed.
