"Young Master Yun, can you tell who it is?”Feng Qi saw that there was no hope in Huangpu and Chengde, so she turned to ask Yun Huai if he knew.
" I can tell who it is too…" Yun Huaiyi naturally recognized the person from behind, but now that the Crown Prince had spoken, he couldn't bring down the Crown Prince's stage, so he tactfully kept his mouth shut.
As Yun Ruoxi did not know martial arts, her eyesight was naturally not as good as Yun Huaiyi and the others who knew martial arts. She could only see a blurry back and naturally did not recognize who it was.
"Can't you see who it is?" Feng Qi felt that the atmosphere between Huangpu Chengde and Yun Huaiyi was a little strange. She felt that the two of them were definitely not telling the truth. But why did these two lie to him?
"Don't worry, young master Zhen. You'll find out who it is soon.”Huangpu Chengde said.
" Is that so..." In fact, Feng Qi wanted to go over and see the person's true face. However, since she was invited by Huangpu Chengde, it would be a little unreasonable if she left the person who invited her and went to someone else's place. Feng Qi only hoped that the Poetry Meet would start soon. As long as everyone sat down, they would naturally be able to see what that person looked like.
" Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention. The poetry recital is about to begin. Now, please find your seats and sit down..." Feng Qi's thoughts were really going to come true. The poetry recital was about to begin.
Everyone found their seats and sat down. Feng Qi saw the person's back and was shocked. He was wearing a golden mask. What was going on?
"This old man is the organizer of this poetry gathering, Xiao Liangjing. Those who have participated in the poetry gathering organized by me in the past must know these four people. Next, I will introduce the identities of these four people to the newcomers.”The speaker was an old man in his fifties. He was the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, Liang Jingxiao." These four are the Crown Prince, the Second Princess, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince.”
"So Young Master Huang is the Crown Prince!”Feng Qi pretended to be surprised and said," Young Master Yun, you guys are so brutal!”
"Please forgive me, young master Zhen. After all, master's identity is special and there are many people who fawn on him. His Highness wants to use his identity as a commoner to make friends with people who are truly close to him, not those villains with ulterior motives. Please don't be angry, young master Zhen.”Yun Huaiyi explained sincerely.
"Then I have passed the Crown Prince's test?”Feng Qi thought, Do you really think I'm a fool? How dare you say such words to deceive a three-year-old child? It's really laughable.
" Young Master Zhen, you must be joking. There's no way we're going to test him. However, we're afraid that if Young Master Zhen finds out about the Crown Prince's identity in advance, he won't want to be friends with us…" Yun Huaiyi said with a smile.
" I, Zhen Feng, am not the kind of person who would be afraid of trouble because of someone else's identity. As long as we hit it off, we are friends..." Feng Qi said with a fake smile," But, is that masked person the Third Prince?"”
"Yes, because His Highness the Third Prince was caught in a fire when he was young, his face was badly burned. Since then, he has been wearing a mask on his face, even when he sleeps.”Yun Huaiyi said.
"Then have you seen the Third Prince's true appearance?”Feng Qi asked. She was very curious about how badly the face behind the mask was burned. Moreover, this Third Prince gave her a familiar feeling, which made Feng Qi even more curious about the face behind the mask.
" Some people have seen it…but those who have seen the Third Prince's face are all…" Yun Huaiyi whispered in Feng Qi's ear, then made a gesture of cutting his throat.
The meaning was obvious. Those who had seen the Third Prince's true appearance had already been killed and were no longer in this world. Thus, he had no way to find out the Third Prince's true appearance.
However, Feng Qi still didn't give up and asked,"" Before they died, did they reveal the Third Prince's face…"
" Shhh…" Before Feng Qi could ask, Yun Huaiyi interrupted her." Young Master Zhen, don't ask too much about this…"
"Why can't I ask?"
" The Third Prince has ordered that if anyone were to discuss this matter, they would be executed on the spot if they were found out…" Yun Huaiyi reminded him kindly.
"Did His Majesty not say anything about the Third Prince's murder?”Did no one raise any objections to such a bloody method?
"Because His Majesty didn't say anything, everyone took it as a tacit approval of the Third Prince's actions. Therefore, everyone kept their mouths shut and no one dared to say anything to the Third Prince's face.”Yun Huaiyi saw that Feng Qi still had a puzzled look on his face, so he kindly said to Feng Qi," Actually, the main reason why His Majesty indulged the Third Prince was because he felt guilty towards the Third Prince. Not only was the Third Prince disfigured in the fire, but he also lost his mother. So as long as the Third Prince did not affect the foundation of the country, His Majesty would turn a blind eye.”
Although Yun Huaiyi's words seemed to be filled with sympathy for Huangpu Chenghong, he was intentionally or unintentionally trying to smear the image of Huangpu Chenghong in Feng Qi's heart.
On the surface, Yun Huaiyi was saying that Chenghong was so cold-blooded and cruel because of what happened when he was young, and that he deserved sympathy. However, as long as one carefully recalled Yun Huaiyi's words, one would realize that the impression of an arrogant and despotic person would be left in the depths of one's mind. As time passed, this impression of cold-blooded murder would gradually deepen. Moreover, because Huangpu Chenghong wore a mask all year round, he gave off an even more unapproachable feeling. This made the impression of Huangpu Chenghong in the eyes of the world even worse.
However, Feng Qi would not easily define a person just because of Yun Huaiyi's words. Yun Huaiyi's wishful thinking was wrong.
However, in order to lower Yun Huaiyi's guard against her, Feng Qi still cooperated and said,""It seems that this Third Prince kills without batting an eye!”
"Young Master Zhen, please be quiet. It's okay to say this in private, but you can't say such disgraceful words in a place with people around. "If someone with ulterior motives hears about it, it won't be good if they report it to the Third Prince…" Yun Huaiyi saw that his goal of vilifying Huangpu Chenghong had been achieved, and a cunning look flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Zhen, I'm really sorry that I kept my identity as the crown prince from you. This is bengong's younger sister, the second princess Huangpu Ling Er.”As soon as Huangpu Chengde came down, he brought Huangpu Ling 'er and went straight to where Yun Huaiyi and the other two were, and apologized to Feng Qi in a friendly manner.
"Your Highness is too polite. It is my honor to be chosen by the Crown Prince.”Feng Qi said with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"As long as Brother Zhen doesn't get angry.”In order to get close to Feng Qi, Huangpu Chengde started to call them brothers.
" Why would I be angry... Your Highness is too good at joking..." Feng Qi said," Your Highness, please sit down. The poetry meeting is about to begin."”
"Alright." Huangpu Chengde sat down between Feng Qi and Yun Huaiyi.
"Royal brother, this is?" Huangpu Ling 'er was naturally very familiar with Yun Huaiyi and Yun Ruoxi, but she did not recognize this person with the surname Zhen. Moreover, seeing that his royal brother was so polite to this person, he was curious about what was so unique about this person's identity that his royal brother would value him so much.
"Royal sister, let me introduce you. This is Lord Zhen Feng. His literary talent is very outstanding. He was the one who won the first prize from royal brother during the festival.”Huangpu Chengde said.
" So it's this young master Zhen Feng who made you suffer…" Huangpu Ling 'er teased.
"Zhen Feng greets the Second Princess." Feng Qi naturally cupped her fists and bowed to Huangpu Ling 'er. She didn't have any intention of bowing to her.
This Zhen Feng was really interesting. Not only did he not have any intention of fawning over him, he did not even have the desire to look at him. If other men saw him flirting with them, they would be overjoyed. This Zhen Feng was really different.
"Ling 'Er, come and sit down.”Yun Ruoxi did not want to bring up the past again, so she quickly called Huangpu Ling 'er to sit beside her.
"Alright, Imperial Sister-in-law." Huangpu Ling 'er didn't continue pestering him, but her beautiful eyes rolled around and flashed with craftiness. It seemed that she still hadn't let go of her curiosity about Feng Qi.
Feng Qi also felt the probing gaze behind her and sighed in her heart. Why was it that ever since she left the Flying Snow Villa, she had been so lucky in love? Recently, she had always been involved with women. First, he was kidnapped by his master's wife, Bai Fengling. Then, he met the Rotten Peach Blossom King. Some time ago, he was injured because of Wang Yu and his cousin, Wang Hanxue. Although Wang Hanxue had no direct contact with him in the beginning, it was only because of Ye Qiannan and Wang Yu that he was related to her. Now, there was a second princess, Huangpu Ling 'er. Oh my god, can't you let me stop for a while! Feng Qi complained about her bumpy life in her heart and secretly swore to keep a distance from Huangpu and Chengde…
Feng Qi was just about to reply to her conflicted feelings when two more uninvited guests came…Seeing these two people, Feng Qi made up her mind to stay away from this troublesome place…
"Royal Brother and Royal Sister-in-law, Royal Sister, do you mind if we join in the fun?”The Fourth Prince, Huangpu Chaozong, asked for his opinion, but his body had already made a decision. He directly sat down on the last empty seat. Then, he looked at his Third Imperial Brother, Huangpu Chenghong, who was a step behind him, and saw what he was going to do.
"..." Huangpu Chenghong glanced at his fourth brother, who was sitting firmly in his seat and looking at him provocatively, and directly ignored him. He turned around and glanced at an official sitting beside Feng Qi. With just a glance, the official was so frightened that he stood up.
" Third, Third Prince, please, please take a seat…" That person directly gave up his seat and left in a hurry, as if a wolf was chasing him. The official found an empty seat elsewhere and sat down. He slowly exhaled the breath that had been suppressed in his heart with lingering fear. It seemed that he was really frightened.
Huangpu Chenghong sat down on the empty seat that was given to him, propping his head with one hand, and actually closed his eyes to rest. Feng Qi, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but curse. What was this person doing? If he wanted to sleep, he could have just found a quiet place. Why did he have to do it here? It was so eye-catching...
The people sitting beside Feng Qi were all big shots, including the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, the Second Princess, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince. The three people inside were all popular candidates for the throne. When these people sat here, they attracted the attention of everyone present, making Feng Qi feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles. It was too uncomfortable. Now, Feng Qi was a little angry at herself. Why did she come to this stupid poetry gathering and get herself into so much trouble? Curiosity really killed the cat. However, it was too late for regrets. Feng Qi believed that after what happened today, she would soon become famous. He was so close to these big shots. As long as it was a person with a heart and a brain, they would definitely be curious about his identity. Feng Qi was extremely annoyed now…
