Gu Yuanfang had already noticed the Fourth Prince coming over and standing beside her. She was very nervous, but tried hard to calm herself down.
Make a wish, yes, she was making a wish, knowing nothing.
After closing her eyes, her senses were infinitely magnified. Gu Yuanfang felt the Fourth Prince's breathing, which was getting closer and closer, and finally hit her cheek.
She opened her eyes in panic, looking at the handsome face in front of her with an innocent look. Her eyes were filled with moisture, as if she was terribly frightened. She was stunned for a moment before she remembered to bow, "Your humble servant greets His Highness the Fourth Prince."
"No need to be so polite." The Fourth Prince held Gu Yuanfang's arm. "It was I who disturbed the young lady's peace and quiet. I was disrespectful first."
The Fourth Prince withdrew his hand and took a step back. "Miss Tang, I'm just curious. What do young ladies wish for in the wishing well? Do they wish to marry their ideal husband?"
Gu Yuanfang didn't expect that the Fourth Prince was curious about this and even asked about it. He was so easy to get along with. He looked at her with a smile, staring into her eyes. Just now, he had helped her up. Was he interested in her?
She blushed shyly, "My elders have been having some bad luck lately, so I came to the wishing well to make a wish, hoping that my great-aunt will live a long and healthy life, and be happy and prosperous."
"Oh~" Gu Yuanfang pretended to regret, "If I tell you now, it might not work anymore."
"No, it depends on sincerity." The fourth prince looked at Gu Yuanfang. He saw her beauty, and occasionally the porridge and side dishes were a bit interesting. "I wonder which old lady the great-aunt is referring to?"
Gu Yuanfang was delighted, "Your Highness, my great-aunt is the old lady of the Marquis of Anchang's mansion."
The Anchang Marquisate has an extraordinary status in the capital. If the Anchang Marquisate had not defended the North Gate to the death, the Northern Qi would have marched south long ago, and the Jing Dynasty would have lost more cities.
"So it's the old lady from the Anchang Marquis's Mansion. The Anchang Marquis's Mansion is full of loyal and brave people. I believe that God will bless the old lady, and your wish will definitely come true."
The Fourth Prince already knew who he was. A concubine's daughter wasn't even worthy of being his concubine. Furthermore, the Dongping Marquisate had already split up, and the Third Branch would soon decline. The Anchang Marquisate wouldn't buy into the Third Branch's plans.
A woman who can enter the Fourth Prince's palace as a concubine must be helpful to his great cause, and this woman is not qualified.
The Fourth Prince immediately lost interest, feeling that all his previous words had been wasted. As he was about to leave, Gu Yuanfang took out some turtle food and said, "Thank you for your comfort, Your Highness. Would you like to feed the turtle together?"
The Fourth Prince was about to refuse when many young ladies came out from all directions. They all came to make wishes. When they saw the Fourth Prince, they flew towards him like flies seeing shit.
"This subject greets His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
"What a coincidence! Is the Fourth Prince also here to make a wish?"
A group of young ladies surrounded the Fourth Prince, their eyes sparkling with anger. Some of them even tried to bump into Gu Yuanfang with considerable force.
Gu Yuanfang stood by the pool, being squeezed by the ladies. He could only stand close to the pool, complaining in his heart that these ladies were not reserved at all.
At this moment, the hem of her skirt was stepped on by someone and could not be pulled up. Just as Gu Yuanfang lowered her head to pull up her skirt, some lady bent her elbow backwards and pulled out the hem of her skirt. After being hit, she lost her balance and fell backwards.
Chunhua Qiushi had already been pushed aside. Seeing Gu Yuanfang falling towards the wishing well, it was too late to save her. He could only cry out in surprise, "Miss!"
With a splash, Gu Yuanfang fell into the wishing well and struggled desperately inside, "Help, help!"
The Fourth Prince and the other young ladies gathered around and watched Gu Yuanfang splashing in the water, her body covered with water lily leaves, and a turtle crawling onto her forehead.
The Fourth Prince laughed heartily, "Miss Gu, the water in the wishing well is not even waist-deep, just stand up."
Hearing this, Gu Yuanfang stood up. The water was only to her waist. Because the water had soaked her dress, revealing her entire figure, Gu Yuanfang looked at the Fourth Prince, almost crying.
Disgust flashed in the Fourth Prince's eyes. He turned around and said to the guards around him, "Everyone, turn around. Miss Gu, please go back and change your clothes."
Chunhua Qiushi hurried over, pulled Gu Yuanfang out of the pool, took off his coat and put it on her.
Gu Yuanfang's eyes were always on the Fourth Prince. He looked at her but left. How could this happen? He was obviously interested in her just now and said so much to her.
Gu Yuanfang had a sad face. How could it turn out like this? How could she suddenly fall into the water? It was so embarrassing.
She looked at the ladies around her angrily. They also looked at Gu Yuanfang, then curled their lips in disgust and looked away, as if she was a dirty thing and looking at her any longer would pollute their eyes.
Alas, the Fourth Prince is gone, why make any wishes? Go back and rest.
Suddenly, a young lady who had been walking away spoke sharply, "I was wondering if she looked so familiar. Isn't she Gu Yuanfang who fell into the water at Princess Changping's flower viewing banquet?"
"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember. I didn't expect that when we met again, she fell into the water again."
"How despicable! She deliberately approached the Fourth Prince just to climb the social ladder. She didn't even look in the mirror. The Fourth Prince is a godlike figure. How could she possibly touch him?"
"I'm afraid she fell into the water on purpose today, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to the Fourth Prince. What a pity, there are so many men here. Does she want to marry all of them?"
The ladies' words were too much, and Gu Yuanfang was so angry that she turned into a frog. Chunhua Qiushi quickly supported her to the guest house, "Miss, let's go quickly."
It's so embarrassing.
Here, the old lady had already heard about what happened here. As soon as she woke up, a servant came to report, which made her so angry that she wanted to fall back asleep.
