Long Haochang traveled incognito, walking slowly among a group of young masters. Wherever he went, there were exclamations of surprise. Many noble ladies blushed and stared at Long Haochang shyly.
There was even a brave one who accidentally had his handkerchief blown off by the wind and it landed right in front of Long Haochang.
Long Haochang was dressed in a long green gown, with a jade crown on his head. He had a slender figure and the demeanor of a handsome young man. Compared with a group of ugly and dissolute young men around him, he stood out from the crowd and looked extraordinary.
Those who can come to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense are all women from prominent families. They are not fools. Even if Long Haochang pretends to be low-key, everyone can guess his identity, so they are particularly enthusiastic.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly extraordinary and valiant, worthy of being the number one young master in the capital!"
"Your Highness was already famous throughout the world when he was in Jinzhou. He was known for his literary skills and military prowess in stabilizing the country. I heard that the banditry in Jinzhou was single-handedly eradicated by Your Highness."
"The banditry in Jinzhou has persisted for years. The imperial court has suppressed it countless times, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince solved it with just one move. He is truly the reincarnation of the God of War!"
"His Highness, look here. Is he looking at me? I can't take it anymore. My face is so hot and I can't breathe."
"You wishful thinking, His Highness is clearly looking at me. If I could marry a man like His Highness, I would be content even if I died."
Ji Yunhuan followed Long Haochang's gaze and saw Shangguan Ruoxue as expected!
"Tsk~ What bad luck!" Ji Yunhuan muttered. She had avoided those flower viewing banquets and poetry gatherings, but how come she still ran into these two unlucky guys!
Qiao Yue got angry when she saw Shangguan Ruoxue, "What a vixen! She follows His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wherever he goes. Don't be angry, young lady. I'll find someone to take her back to the ancestral temple right away!"
"The young lady looks particularly beautiful today. As long as Shangguan Ruoxue is driven away, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely like her!"
Qiao Yue rushed forward angrily, but was stopped by Ji Yunhuan, "Come back! Stop interfering. Take my kite with you and let's go to another place."
Qiao Yue didn't know what was going on in her mind, and said in a heavy tone, "Qiao Yue was wrong. Qiao Yue doesn't dare to be so reckless. Making a scene in front of His Royal Highness will only make His Royal Highness unhappy. It's right to be patient and not to speak out. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with the vixen in the future!"
"I just feel sorry for the young lady. In terms of family background and appearance, the young lady is better than her in every way. Why should she be suppressed by her?"
Ji Yunhuan didn't feel wronged at all. Now she just wanted to kill Long Haochang. She didn't care which woman showed off in front of Long Haochang.
Xizi in his arms struggled a little, meowing, and it seemed that he also wanted to see Long Haochang.
Ji Yunhuan sneered and threw Xizi into the cradle.
The cradle was specially made by her. It was similar to a baby cradle, but it had wheels at the bottom so it could be pushed around. It was perfect for taking Xizi out for a walk.
"Go! Go over now, I won't stop you! Don't blame me for not warning you. If you get caught and beaten to death again, it's all your own fault. I won't save you."
Long Lin retracted his claws that had reached out from the cradle, squatted obediently in the nest, and calmed down instantly.
He was concerned about state affairs and wanted to meet the prince, but he forgot that he was now a cat. Not to mention making the prince believe his identity, he couldn't even communicate with the prince.
Except for Ji Yunhuan who could occasionally guess what he meant, no one else had any idea what he was talking about.
It’s better to wait until I see the abbot and regain my human form before going to see the prince.
"What? You don't dare to run? That's all the courage you have! If you want to stay alive, stay away from Long Haochang. He's not a good guy!"
The crowd gathered towards Long Haochang, as if he was some kind of luminous body. Ji Yunhuan stayed far away from Long Haochang, watching the excitement with cold eyes.
She did not go over to bully Shangguan Ruoxue, but it seemed that there was an invisible force controlling everything. When Shangguan Ruoxue ran towards Long Haochang, she bumped into a noble lady and immediately became the target of public criticism.
The person who was hit was Xia Mengyao, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Zhongyong. She came from a family of military generals and had practiced martial arts since childhood. She had a heroic face and her voice was several degrees higher than others.
"Hey! Can't you see where you're going? You spilled a bowl of soup all over me. Whose family are you from? You're so impatient!"
Shangguan Ruoxue stammered an apology, her voice as thin as a mosquito, completely drowned out by the surrounding discussions.
Marquis Zhongyong was in charge of the Imperial Guards and was a powerful military commander. Naturally, Xia Mengyao was the object of the noble ladies' flattery. Without her saying much, everyone started pushing Shangguan Ruoxue over.
"Look at her attire, she must be from a humble family. Miss Xia is wearing newly-imported Shu embroidery. Even if you sell yourself, you won't be able to afford the compensation!"
"I don't know how he got in. Daxiangguo Temple is becoming more and more outrageous. Anyone can come in to worship Buddha. It really pollutes my eyes."
"I recognize her. She always pesters His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This soup is for His Highness, right? How shameless! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would never fall for someone like you!"
