Prince Cheng was stunned for a moment, looking her over carefully. She was so beautiful, if she knew his mother, he couldn't possibly not know her.

If someone knows the Empress Dowager and greets her, then they probably aren't in cahoots with Gao Yuguang.

"What is your relationship with him?" Prince Cheng asked, gesturing with his chin toward Gao Yuguang.

Before Gao Yuguang could speak, Shu Jianyue shook her head, "I don't know her."

"Move aside, don't block the way."

Prince Cheng looked at her for a while, then stepped aside, leaving his underlings looking at each other in bewilderment.

Gao Yuguang's lips twitched. He had been hoping to see a show, but this guy was usually so easily provoked. Why wasn't he falling for it this time?

Shu Jianyue sat down in a tea stall next to her. "Grandpa, just two bowls of plain water will do."

"Okay, all set." The old man in the tea stall chuckled and brought over a pot of freshly boiled water, pouring two cups for her and Wuyan.

He was too embarrassed to offer a bowl of water to such a beautiful woman.

That's just too unworthy.

"Thank you," Shu Jianyue said with a smile.

Seeing this, Wu Yan also expressed his gratitude.

Shu Jianyue smiled and patted his head.

Prince Cheng glanced at him, then turned to Gao Yuguang and asked, "What are you doing here?"

He wasn't stupid to begin with; his mother told him to hide his talents, which is why he cooperated with Gao Yuguang's performance time and time again.

This person today looked extraordinary. I originally thought he was with Gao Yuguang, so I stood in front of her with the attitude that I might offend him.

Unexpectedly, the person didn't even know who Gao Yuguang was, so naturally they wouldn't offend her.

Gao Yuguang rolled her eyes at him. "What am I doing here? Do I need to report to you?"

Prince Cheng gave a cold laugh and walked towards the Academy of Scholars.

Gao Yuguang gritted his teeth, glanced at Shu Jianyue, and went inside as well.
