The old man chuckled, "The Green Bamboo Pavilion is the residence of a distinguished person."
"There was a man." Mentioning him, Feng Guang gritted her teeth in anger, "and he was a very bad man!"
"Oh? Which official has angered the Crown Princess?"
"Not just him, but his dog, and oh right, the Imperial Guards who watched me being led around by that dog and couldn't do anything about it... None of them were good people."
The old man explained gently, "Your Highness, those are the Embroidered Uniform Guards, not the Imperial Guards."
The Imperial Guards were directly under the emperor's command, while the Embroidered Uniform Guards were under the command of the Western Depot. These two groups were irreconcilable and fundamentally different.
The old man added, "Actually, that official... wasn't a bad person."
She asked in confusion, "Do you know him?"
Otherwise, why would anyone speak well of him?
"I wouldn't say I know him. How could this old servant be worthy of knowing such a distinguished person?" The old man smiled kindly. "This old servant has only seen that gentleman a few times from afar."
"Then how can you say he's not bad?"
"If the Crown Princess wishes to refute this old servant's statement, she might as well first learn about that official."
Feng Guang stroked his chin. "Why do I need to know anything about him? You don't understand. After meeting him just once today, I never want to see him again. He's quite good-looking, isn't he... cough, but his personality is terrible. He bullies me, and his dog bullies me too. Tell me, why would I need to know anything about someone like that?"
"The Crown Princess is right, he does indeed have many flaws." The old man agreed with her, a hint of sigh in his voice.
Feng Guang blinked. "You really know him? He won't tell me his name. Do you know what his name is?"
"Since he is unwilling to tell the Crown Princess his name, then this old servant dares not say anything more." The old man said slowly, "Your Highness, rest assured, sooner or later he will tell you his identity. I hope that by then, Your Highness will not dislike him so much."
Feng Guang found the old man's words mysterious, and she couldn't guess or understand them. Just as she was about to ask more questions, two people not far away suddenly caught her attention.
At the palace gate, a palace maid carried a palace lantern. In front of her stood a handsome man, who held a white flower that resembled a rose.
The old man suddenly said, "The Flower Goddess Festival is coming soon."
Feng Guang was puzzled, "The Flower Festival?"
"June 15th every year is the Flower Goddess Festival, which is also a day for men and women to express their feelings for each other and get married."
“To express my feelings…” Feng Guang looked at the man and woman not far away and was slightly dazed.
"Who is it?" The palace maid turned around when she heard the voice. When she saw Feng Guang, her eyes widened in surprise. She then quickly bowed and said, "Yi Ren greets the Crown Princess."
The man turned around, his hand holding the flowers hanging at his side. Seeing the scenery, he smiled gently.
They were Baili Mo and Yiren.
Someone saw us...
Feng Guang looked around again, but the old man was gone. She felt that her situation was even more awkward. For some reason, even though she was the legal wife, she now felt like she was superfluous...
She forced herself to walk over, coughed a few times, and said, "Um... good evening, both of you."
Yi Ren looked quite embarrassed. Indeed, being seen standing in such a secluded place with the Crown Prince, especially by the Crown Princess herself, made it seem like no matter how she explained it, people would think the worst.
In contrast, Baili Mo's expression remained as gentle as ever, showing no sign that I had done anything wrong.
Feng Guang sadly discovered something very important: even when she caught a man and a woman alone together, she felt neither anger nor sadness. What does this mean?
She didn't like the crown prince at all.
