The banquet soon came to an end.
Jing Huan remembered his promise, and came to find Gu Shengyin: “I just spoke with my uncle, Prince Jingan, and told him that we have another engagement, and that we’re leaving early.”
At this time, the system also prompted: “Host, Princess Shuhe has also arrived at the wangfu‘s left side entrance.”
Serendipitous! Gu Shengyin’s eyes brightened. Coincidentally, Jiang Huan’s carriage also happened to be stationed at the left gate.
The two began heading out of the wangfu.
At this time, there were many carriages of different aristocrats and dignitaries outside of the wangfu, guarded by many servants. There were too many people, and it was rather hectic.
Princess Shuhe had probably expected this, and were planning to leave unnoticed amidst the crowd.
Gu Shengyin walked slowly, and quickly located Princess Shuhe.
If it hadn’t been for the system’s alert, she never would have guessed that the woman with a sallow face wearing a dress made of coarse fabric would actually be Princess Shuhe, who was famous throughout the capital for her beauty.
Coincidentally, the carriage she had prepared was also a plain-looking horse carriage with green curtains, and was eighty percent similar to Jiang Huan’s carriage on the outside.
Gu Shengyin suddenly halted in her tracks, turning to speak to Jiang Huan: “I heard that Princess Jing’an loves flowers, and that there are more exotic flowers and plants raised in her courtyard than in the imperial garden. She has a Tianzhu orchid that I’ve wanted to see since it’s one of a kind in the Tianyun Dynasty, but I forgot to go take a look just now.”
Jiang Huang’s interest was also aroused: “Is there such a flower?”
Gu Shengyin smiled secretly: “Then why don’t we go and have a look?”

She inadvertently stopped Princess Shuhe who was preparing to board the carriage: “You are the servant of the Jing’an Palace, do you know where the Tianzhu orchid is located in the wangfu? If it’s convenient, can you bring us there for a look?”
Princess Shuhe’s entire body froze in place. She had never imagined that just as she was about to succeed, she would end up bumping into the one person she didn’t want to meet.
She thought quickly, and lowered her head, and deepened her voice to say: “Responding to the lord, this slave is just a crude servant that deals with rough labor. At this time, the house steward ordered this slave to purchase some ingredients, and does not know the location of the Tianzhu orchid.”
Gu Shengyin gave a simple “oh”.
Princess Shuhe breathed out a sigh of relief and was about to retreat when she heard Gu Shengyin say with certainty, “You are lying!”
Princess Shuhe’s heart stuttered, and Gu Shengyin continued speaking: “You claim to be just a rough servant girl, and your clothes are indeed of poor quality, but your hands are both white and delicate, which are far from what a servant girl would have. Not only that, but you say that you are a crude servant, and yet your bearing is dignified, so you are definitely lying. Are you a first-class servant of Jing’An wangfu that stole your master’s money to run away?”
Princess Shuhe’s heart was caught in her throat, and as she was desperately thinking of how to respond, a gentle voice spoke from within the carriage: “General Fu doesn’t need to waste your time on the matters of a simple slave.”
It was Fang Mingyu.
Gu Shengyin glanced at the man who came forward to help Princess Shuhe from her plight. He was indeed a handsome man, and it was obvious that he held deep affection for Princess Shuhe.
And yet, these two were so focused on their deep love, had they never spared a thought for the hapless Fu Yunzhen?
She sneered: “Fang-shizi?”
She glanced at Jiang Huan, and noticed that his eyes had fallen on Princess Shuhe disguised as a servant, with his brows deeply furrowed.
Clearly, he was suspicious of Princess Shuhe’s true identity.
