As soon as a ray of golden light appeared in the sky, Mu Tangxi was awakened by Yu Luo sent by his mother.

Her good mood from yesterday was now gone.

I have to get up early these days, earlier and earlier each time!

She just didn't believe that Master Gu would have to get up so early!

After Dong Zhu helped the young lady put on her clothes, she was so happy that she wanted to put on the headdress that she had carefully matched for her.

Yu Luo, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "Dong Zhu, your outfit is a bit too plain. The prince of Jingyang Marquis's mansion is coming today, so you should dress more solemnly."

Dong Zhu's hands froze when he heard this, and he inevitably fell into hesitation.

Yu Luo was the lady's personal maid, so her words were more convincing.

But if the young lady really dresses up formally, will Master Gu look down on her?

So should I listen or not?

At this moment, the young lady's voice suddenly came, "It's not the Marquis of Jingyang Mansion who is here, so just continue according to what Dongzhu has chosen."

Mu Tangxi's expression was gentle and his tone was calm. At that moment, Yu Luo seemed to see the shadow of the master.

So even if she was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to speak easily.

Yu Luo could only look at Dong Zhu angrily.

In her opinion, the young lady was protecting the maid.

In fact, Mu Tangxi was indeed protecting Dong Zhu, who was her most loyal maid and very useful.

Dong Zhu was deeply touched and became more careful with his hands.

After everything was prepared, Mu Tangxi looked even more delicate and beautiful. She inherited her mother's eye shape, with the tails of her eyes slightly upturned, but because she was young, her eyes were round.

She straightened her clothes and went to her mother.

Xu Jingshu looked at her daughter and felt that she looked a little plain. How could the prince see her at a glance?

However, Xu Jingshu's gaze unconsciously drifted to her daughter's light-colored eyes.

She doesn't need any extra outfit to stand out from the crowd.

After Mu Tangxi greeted gracefully, she sat on a chair beside her and slowly ate the pastries that were served to her.

God knows, she was called by her mother before she even had breakfast.

Even the eldest, second and third brothers haven't arrived yet.

When Mu Tangxi was almost finishing her pastries, the three of them finally arrived.

Mu Tangxi paused and focused his gaze on his eldest brother's face.

The eldest brother took off the bandages wrapped around his face and instead put on a silver mask that covered half of his face.

The gloomy expression on his face disappeared, replaced by calmness and composure.

Mu Tangxi narrowed her eyes slightly, but the smile on her lips remained unchanged. Her elder brother was really smart. He thought of using a mask to cover up the scars.

The amber eyes were like sticky honey, with strong malice hidden deep inside, like poison wrapped in sugar.

He didn't want to show weakness in front of Gu Shiming.

and so……

Why hasn’t that prince come yet!

The moment Xu Jingshu saw her eldest son, she was a little surprised. When was this bought?

But that’s fine.

The left half of Mu Jinfeng's face felt slightly cold. Not wanting to be looked at strangely by Gu Shiming, he replaced the bandages with a mask.

But the exposed wound would touch the mask from time to time, causing waves of pain.

But none of that matters!

It's just a one-day mask, nothing will happen.

Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi both looked calm. They had already been surprised since they met their eldest brother.

I didn't expect that my elder brother attached so much importance to Master Gu's arrival.

Does my eldest brother want to get the support of the prince?

After all, being the heir to a marquisate is completely different from being the heir to a prime minister's mansion. One can inherit the marquisate without doing anything, while the other, although he has the interpersonal relationships of his father, has to work hard to be reused.

As the sun slowly rose into the sky and after who knows how long, the prince finally arrived.

A thirteen-year-old boy in gorgeous crimson and purple clothes appeared surrounded by servants.

Mu Tangxi sighed, but he still looked arrogant.

After paying his respects to the Prime Minister's wife, Gu Shiming looked at the injured Mu Jinfeng.

You should know that the news that the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion was injured on the face has spread throughout the capital.

He came here just to see if Mu Jinfeng's face could be cured.

However, when he saw Mu Jinfeng wearing a mask, he realized that he would be left with a scar.

Otherwise, why would you use such an airtight mask to cover up wounds that have not yet healed?

A trace of contempt flashed in Gu Shiming's eyes. It seemed that he had to shift his attention to the other two young masters in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But just as Gu Shiming turned his eyes away from Mu Jinfeng, he suddenly realized that there were not only the Prime Minister's wife and three young masters in this hall, but also...

His dark eyes were fixed on the little girl sitting in the chair.

A beautiful face and eyes that are different from ordinary people.

This person must be the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter.

Although Gu Shiming didn't understand how two people with black eyes could give birth to a daughter with amber eyes, it was undeniable that she was indeed very beautiful.

He abruptly retracted his gaze and forced himself to focus on the second and third young masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Well, Mu Jinbai looks very much like the prime minister, gentle and gives people a friendly feeling.

I just don't know what his abilities are.

As for Mu Jinxi...

Gu Shiming felt a little disgusted. Why did he feel that he was stupid and not very smart?

Mu Jinxi's eyes couldn't focus and the expression on her face was a little dull.

Actually, it was because I was a little sleepy when my mother woke me up today.

In their eyes, Prince Gu had been looking at them expressionlessly ever since he came in to pay his respects to his mother.

And he looked the person up and down, as if he wanted to see the person clearly from inside out.

Mu Jinbai's face froze. What on earth was the prince of Jingyang Marquis looking at?

Even his sister was looked at from head to toe by him.

He is indeed very arrogant, the rumors are true!

"Master Gu is about the same age as me and other kids, so it would be nice for us to chat together. As an adult, I won't bother you."

Xu Jingshu had been observing Gu Shiming's expression since he entered the door, and indeed noticed his surprised look when he saw Xier.

It turned out that this move was the right one.

It is also a good choice for Xier to marry the prince of Jingyang Marquis's Mansion!

Now her presence here was a bit of a nuisance, so she left first and let the children communicate on their own.

Xu Jingshu also wanted to go to the master to discuss the candidate for Xier's husband.

After the Prime Minister's wife left, only three young masters, one young lady and Gu Shiming from the Prime Minister's Mansion were left in the hall.

Gu Shiming also sat on the first seat without any hesitation. After all, he was already the crown prince appointed by the emperor, so his status was naturally higher than the young masters in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There was a crack in Mu Jinfeng's flawless smile. The distance between him and Gu Shiming was getting farther and farther, which made him a little jealous and even resentful.

Why he could sit on the throne of the crown prince safely and securely without any setbacks.

However, his status as heir was cut off by a sudden accident.

He clenched his palms tightly with his hands hidden in his sleeves, and his eyes were no longer fixed on Gu Shiming, but moved downwards, afraid of being discovered by this distinguished prince.

So frustrating.
