At the poetry reading in the afternoon, Meng Guxue performed "stably" as usual, and today she really secured her reputation as the number one talented woman.

Baili Chengyou looked at Meng Guxue without any scruples at the poetry meeting, and anyone could see that he was really interested in her.

So after the poetry reading ended that day, word spread in Beijing circles that Baili Chengyou fell in love with Meng Guxue at first sight at the poetry reading.

The best candidate for this marriage is none other than Meng Guxue!

When Mrs. Meng heard the news, she was so frightened that she almost fainted!

As soon as Meng Guxue returned home, Madam Meng hurriedly grabbed her and said with a pale face:

"Xue'er, what happened at the poetry meeting today? Mother told you not to go, but you insisted on going!"

Meng Guxue had already made up her mind, and when she saw Madam Meng, who had truly loved her since she traveled through time, she couldn't help but soften her heart.

Poor Mrs. Meng, how could she have known that her daughter had already died of that high fever.

She occupied "Meng Guxue's" body and made Mrs. Meng worry about her for more than a year, and she felt really guilty about it.

She had no way to repay Mrs. Meng. If she agreed to the marriage tomorrow, Emperor Yong would naturally honor the Meng family. It would be like giving the Meng family great wealth.

From now on, the bridge will be the bridge, the road will be the road, I am afraid we will never see each other again in this life...

"Mom, don't listen to their nonsense."

No matter how her mind was churning, Meng Guxue remained expressionless and held Mrs. Meng's arm affectionately.

Mrs. Meng was full of doubts. "The rumors have spread like wildfire. How could they be groundless?"

Meng Guxue smiled and nodded, "Mom, of course it's fake!"

"There are so many daughters of noble families in the capital. What does talent mean to me? Why would the Third Prince choose me?"

At this point, Meng Guxue's expression froze slightly, and suddenly she stood there in a daze.

Mrs. Meng was shocked when she saw Meng Guxue's face turned pale.

"Xue'er, what happened suddenly?"

Meng Guxue's heart skipped a beat. A doubt suddenly took root in her heart and began to grow wildly!

"Mom, I'm really tired today. I want to go back and rest first."

Meng Guxue forced a smile and spoke in a gentle voice.

Mrs. Meng was worried, but seeing that Meng Guxue did not look well, she could only send her back to her room with concern.

"Xiao Tao, take good care of the young lady."

Xiao Tao quickly agreed.

After Madam Meng left, Meng Guxue threw herself into bed, her mind in a turmoil.

During the day, she was bewitched by Baili Chengyou's tenderness, but now it seems that his words are full of loopholes!

She also had a dream, in which she and the second prince had a deep affection for each other.

But after waking up from the dream, although she had special feelings for the Second Prince, she was not so deeply in love with him that she could not live without him.

If she is like this, then wouldn't Baili Chengyou, who is able to become the ruler of a country, be more sober than her...

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue suddenly felt cold all over!

If Baili Chengyou really had a dream, then he should also know that she has modern knowledge in her mind and she can help him.

Utilization, all utilization...

Meng Guxue tightly clutched the quilt beneath her, and at this moment she was more awake than ever!

Xiaotao was frightened by Meng Guxue's strange behavior. Wasn't the lady very happy during the day?

"Miss? You...what's wrong with you?"

Meng Guxue buried her face in the quilt and shook her head gently after a while.

"Xiao Tao, prepare some water. I want to take a bath."

She needs to think carefully about what to do tomorrow!

————

The clan house.

Zhufeng was reporting to the Second Prince everything that happened at the poetry meeting today.

When mentioning the strangeness between Baili Chengyou and Meng Guxue, Zhufeng's words were filled with resentment.

He had helped His Highness take things from Meng Guxue, so he had always assumed that Meng Guxue was His Highness's person.

But today at the poetry gathering, whether it was the eagerness shown by Baili Chengyou or Meng Guxue's private meeting with Baili Chengyou, he felt that Meng Guxue seemed to be out of His Highness's control!

"Did they meet privately?"

The second prince sat behind the desk, his tone calm and composed.

Zhu Feng nodded quickly, "My men followed to the outside of the peach forest, but before we could get in, the five followers of Prince Baili had already watched Taolin to death."

"Prince Baili arrived shortly afterwards and also entered the peach forest. The two of them stayed alone inside for more than a quarter of an hour."

"My subordinates were standing guard at a distance and saw Prince Baili come out, and then Miss Meng, with a clear smile on her face."

When the Second Prince heard this, his eyes fell on the poetry collection beside the desk, his eyes full of thought.

He has always been certain that Meng Guxue has a secret.

Whether it is the wonderful poems in different styles that she came up with off the cuff, or the three recipes she mastered.

Perhaps, this is just the tip of the iceberg of what he knows, and there are other surprises in Meng Guxue that have not yet been discovered.

If he hadn't been suddenly grounded for a year, he would have pried those three recipes out of Meng Guxue's mouth long ago.

He could see that Meng Guxue was ambitious.

So, just because he was silent for a year, Meng Guxue started to climb up and step on the low, and shifted her target to Baili Chengyou, right?

Thinking of this, the second prince curled his lips coldly.

What puzzled him most was Baili Chengyou's attitude.

Why did he suddenly become interested in Meng Guxue? Or did he also keenly perceive the peculiarity of Meng Guxue?

However, Baili Chengyou has only just arrived, and Meng Guxue has not written many poems in front of others, so it is not enough to arouse suspicion, right?

And according to Zhufeng, Baili Chengyou showed great enthusiasm when he first met Meng Guxue at the poetry meeting.

After Baili Chengyou came to Yong Dynasty, everything he did was really weird.

The second prince knocked on the long table again and again, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

Interesting, so interesting...

In any case, it is obvious that Baili Chengyou wants Meng Guxue.

There was no way he would let Meng Guxue and Baili Chengyou leave.

After all, he hadn't gotten the three formulas yet, and he hadn't figured out all the secrets surrounding Meng Guxue...

"Zhu Feng, I have an idea about this matter. Are all the other things ready?"

When Zhu Feng heard this, his face immediately became serious.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Everything has been prepared. We are just waiting for the banquet to begin tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, the second prince nodded slightly.

The next moment, he slowly stood up and walked to the window.

The cold moonlight shrouded him, and looking at his back, he still looked like a young man.

Seeing this, Zhufeng wanted to step forward and put a cloak on the second prince, but was rejected by him.

"Your Highness, it's cold at night, please take care of yourself."

The second prince shook his head, not really caring.

After a while, he suddenly said calmly:

"Zhu Feng, the moon is bright tonight, it looks like tomorrow will be a good day."

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen my father for a long time."
