Outside the Gu Mansion Academy, there were two horse carriages, which were covered with black paint. Mrs. Yao and Gu Bitong had already gotten on the same carriage.

Gu Bitong was dressed to the brightest today. She wore a red dress with a lotus pattern that entwined with gold, and was covered with a white veil. She wore a golden gauze that wrapped around her arms, and she wore a bun made from snakes.

Mrs. Yao was very satisfied with her daughter's outfit. She brushed the hair by her ear and said with a smile, "Tong, I have seen Lady everywhere in the capital, but none of them could compare to you. I wonder who Miss Zhu has invited today, and if the Fifth Prince will go today."

Miss Zhu's chrysanthemum feast was renowned throughout the capital. Not only was Lady invited, there were also some talented sons of the venerable sect who were a little intimate with the imperial family, and sometimes even a few princes and princesses.

Gu Bitong covered her face with a fan and said shyly, "Brother Qi is so busy. How would he have the time to attend a banquet for children like this?"

"That may not be true. Last time, wasn't it because of you that the Fifth Prince went to attend that ball and flower feast?" In order to help you snatch that giant flower, didn't His Highness already compete with him personally? " Mrs. Yao was beaming with smiles as she looked at her daughter with incomparable gratification.

She was most proud of having such a beautiful daughter. If Tong could marry the Fifth Prince, King Jin, why would she need to worry about becoming a good person in the future?

What need was there to scheme against them?

She suddenly thought of something, and a trace of worry appeared on her face. "Tong, have you really made arrangements?" Will there be any mistakes in that? "

Gu Bitong glanced at her mother before placing her hand on her own. With a smirk, she said, "Don't worry."

Mrs. Yao instantly calmed down. She looked at the time, and then said angrily to a girl outside the car, "Quickly go and check on Eldest Miss, why hasn't she come here for so long?"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Gu Jinzhu carrying a little girl and walking out from behind a corner door. Mrs. Yao and Gu Bitong raised their heads to look, and they were stunned for a moment.

Gu Jinzhu was wearing a sky-blue, silvery-silver, dark hibiscus silk dress. As she walked, her white, cloud-like skirt was flowing like the clouds, making her look like a fairy that had descended into the mortal world.

Her temperament was originally extremely pure and clean to the extreme. This color was slightly heavy, but her appearance was exquisite, able to suppress any kind of clothes. In addition to her ethereal elegance, there was an additional sense of elegance, making it impossible to shift her gaze away.

Gu Jinzhu walked over and greeted Mrs. Yao in a soft voice.

Mrs. Yao snapped out of her daze with a flash of anger in her eyes. "What took you so long?" she said unhappily. Are they still waiting for people to hurry up and invite us in? "

Gu Jinzhu lowered her head and replied softly. "Yes, mother. Daughter knows her wrongs."

Mrs. Yao snorted. "Get on the car and wait for them to say we're rude!"

As Yun Xiang supported Gu Jinzhu to a carriage, Gu Bitong looked at her slim figure with a trace of regret in her eyes.

She had purposely generously given the clothes to her because she found their color to be dull. Furthermore, the size of the clothes was a little too big for her. She hadn't expected them to be so dazzling. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have given them to her.

She secretly pinched her fingers, then she thought about her plans, which made her feel lighter.

Hmph, what's the use of having a beautiful appearance? Very soon, she would know what it meant to fall down in pain!

The more beautiful she was, the better. At that time, her reputation would spread much faster.

She picked up the fan and covered the corner of her lips with a smile, but there was a trace of coldness in her eyes.

However, something had happened to Gu Bijin's face, and Gu Zhiyue was still young, so Mrs. Yao had to bring Gu Jinzhu and Gu Bijin out.

Su Ju curiously lifted the curtain and looked outside. This was the first time they had gone out since returning to the Shengjing, so she could not help but feel that it was a little new.

The streets were bustling with noise and excitement. The food peddlers were shouting non-stop. She was watching with relish. Suddenly, the carriage shook and the cold voice of a man came from the front.

The people on the street started to panic as they rushed towards the two sides of the street. Su Ju exclaimed in surprise, "What's wrong?" "What happened?"

Before she could finish her sentence, the sound of countless horse hooves kicking against the ground came from ahead, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

One of them rode past and shouted loudly, "Prince Rui is out on a mission, let bygones be bygones!"

The pedestrians and hawkers hurriedly ran to both sides of the road, leaving a large space between them.

Su Ju muttered, "Who is this Prince Rui? How impressive."

Before she could finish, the coachman outside said in a low voice, "Yo, young lady, be quiet. This Prince Rui is not an ordinary person, he doesn't dare to say it."

Before his voice faded away, a group of Shadow Cavalry galloped in from the distance like a whirlwind. The sounds of their hooves on the stone floor were concentrated like the rain, causing a cloud of dust and dust to rise.

Gu Jinzhu peeked out from behind the curtain that Su Ju had yet to lower. The person in front was clad in black armor, a helmet on his head, and a silver mask that shone coldly in the sunlight.

The queue passed by the horse carriage and soon, there were about a few hundred people wearing black clothes and black armor. From afar, it looked like a black cloud filled with a chilling aura.

After the cavalry had left, the people of the busy city came to life, like a still scene that started to move, and the liveliness returned.

Everyone seemed to be accustomed to it and did not discuss about it in whispers.

When the carriage started moving again, Su Ju couldn't help but ask the driver, "That Prince Rui, what is his background? Why are you running around the city like a horse? "

The driver's face was full of shock, "Prince Rui, you don't even know about it?"

He looked around and lowered his voice. "This Prince Rui is incredible, but he's the only son of the previous crown prince, His Majesty's nephew, and even more so the hero of my Grand Xia Dynasty!"

He saw Su Ju's puzzled expression and was instantly interested. He briefly described Prince Rui's background, and then continued, "Prince Prince Rui joined the army at 15, had repeated his military exploits since he was sixteen, and returned triumphantly with his great army at the age of 17. He was the God of War at the time of our Grand Xia!

His Majesty had specially bestowed him the title of Great General Huwei and wanted to bestow him with a luxurious feudal fiefdom. However, Your Highness had rejected it, and instead volunteered to be the guardian of the border. All these years, it was he, the Black Armored Army, who had been protecting Prince Rui's might throughout the world.

Every man's dream is to enlist in the army and worship the heroes of the world.

Su Ju was a little puzzled, "Prince Rui is so amazing, but why are we doing this?" They seem to be very afraid of him? "

When the messenger said Prince Rui was going to leave just now, everyone rolled to the side to hide. No one dared to whisper to him when Prince Rui went past.

The coachman's expression froze, he shook the horsewhip and said, "You will know about this in the future. Lady, you must avoid Prince Rui's people in the future. Such a big character is not someone we can mess with."

Su Ju was about to ask again when the coachman refused to speak.
