Aunt Yu said, "If you wear this, it will conceal your cultivation level, but it is ineffective against cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage."

"I heard that in Donglin Kingdom, apart from the Emperor who is an early Nascent Soul cultivator, there are no other Nascent Soul cultivators, is that right?"

"That being said, I wonder if there are any experts hiding among the people."

"Well, next, I'm going to start my training. If there's nothing else, just call me in two days."

"Okay, Miss. I look forward to you entering the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"I will definitely enter the foundation-building stage soon."

……

In the palace.

Nie Hengzhou was invited to the imperial study, where both the head of the Gu family and the emperor were present.

When the emperor saw Nie Hengzhou come in, he asked someone to give him a seat.

Nie Hengzhou sat down and looked at the head of the Gu family who was sitting opposite him.

Gu Zhen came to see the emperor at the instigation of Gu Yaoyao.

Gu Yaoyao said to him, "Grandfather, the Third Prince said he wants to hold an engagement party with me."

Gu Zhen had always thought that Gu Yaoyao had stolen Gu Liyue's marriage, and his face darkened when he heard her say this. Such a thing as stealing someone's marriage was not something to be publicized.

Seeing her grandfather's unhappy expression, Gu Yaoyao said, "Brother Xianchuan said we could invite Nie Hengzhou from Qingxuan College to be our guest."

Gu Zhen had heard of Nie Hengzhou a long time ago and knew that he came to recruit students, but he had no excuse to get to know him. A few days ago, he made a special trip to visit him, but his servant just replied that Master Nie was not here, and there was no further news.

After hearing what Gu Yaoyao said, I felt that this was an opportunity. I could then recommend the children of the Gu family to enter Qingxuan College.

He couldn't help but feel a little hesitant, so he decided to just hold the engagement ceremony.

But this matter still needs the royal approval, and I don’t know what the emperor thinks about it.

So, he came to the palace specifically for this matter.

Unexpectedly, the emperor agreed. Seeing that the third prince valued Gu Yaoyao very much, he informed the emperor first.

In fact, Gu Yaoyao had gotten married to the third prince, and she also sent people to spread the news, but she felt that if she didn't hold an engagement banquet, it would be like not announcing it to the world, like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes.

The most important thing is that he wants to suppress Gu Liyue, he wants to see her sad, he wants to see her expression when she is suppressed by him.

But the royal family thought that since the marriage was with the Gu family, although the people had changed, the family had not changed, so there was no need to make so much trouble. In fact, they also wanted to live quietly to avoid being criticized.

After Gu Yaoyao discussed with Xiao Xianchuan, they felt that it was necessary to hold an engagement banquet. If the royal family didn't hold one, they would hold it at Gu's house.

She would invite the nobles to attend the ceremony and let the nobles of Donglin Kingdom see how she trampled Gu Liyue under her feet.

And since Gu Liyue has already offered up the strange fire, it is time for her to die.

As soon as the head of the Gu family saw Nie Hengzhou enter the imperial study, he felt a little excited and watched him sit down.

Patriarch Gu stood up and said, "Mr. Nie, I went to look for you two days ago, but your servant said you were not there."

"Oh, I wonder what Master Gu wants to talk to me about."

Gu Zhen looked at the emperor and saw that he had no expression on his face.

"I'd like to know if this year's college admissions process is different from previous years."

"Many details about this matter have not yet been finalized. The specific details will depend on the level of cultivation and number of cultivators from Donglin Kingdom. We will need to wait for my master to arrive before we can confirm anything."

Gu Zhen listened to his words of impartiality and felt that this Master Nie was truly impeccable. Furthermore, he couldn't say too much in front of the Emperor.

"In two days, the Third Prince and our Gu family's daughter will hold an engagement ceremony at the Gu family. This family head would like to invite Master Nie to attend the ceremony."

As soon as Nie Hengzhou saw Gu Zhen, he thought of Gu Liyue. He heard that she was engaged to the third prince before. Now it seems that the engagement should be cancelled so that the third prince can get engaged to someone else.

Inexplicably, he felt better.

He thought that Gu Liyue must be the girl he met in Donglin Kingdom, so he didn't want to see her and the third prince become a couple.

It's obvious that the third prince is not a good person. He spends all day thinking about how to please the girls and doesn't practice seriously.

He looked at the emperor, feeling a little puzzled, but said calmly, "Thank you, Master Gu, for the invitation. I will be there."

On the day of Gu Yaoyao's engagement, Gu Yaoyao's maid Cui'er, under Gu Yaoyao's instructions, came to invite Gu Liyue to attend the banquet.

Aunt Yu just came to knock on Gu Liyue's door.

At this time, Gu Liyue's cultivation had already reached the first level of foundation building. Xiao Xuan also went into seclusion because of this.

Aunt Yu looked at her and frowned: "Miss, you must not let your cultivation level increase too quickly, otherwise your foundation will be unstable, which is not a good thing."

She actually also felt it and said with a smile: "Aunt Yu, please help me see if my foundation is unstable?"

Aunt Yu checked and said in surprise: "Miss, how did you do it? There is no sign of instability."

"I'm the [Scroll King], and I've been practicing non-stop these past two days!"

Although she had no idea what "King of Rolls" was, Aunt Yu intuitively felt that it was a good word.

I had no choice but to say, "In this case, I feel relieved."

She pulled Gu Liyue and asked her to sit in front of the dressing table: "Let me comb your hair for you."

Gu Liyue sat obediently. It was really difficult for her to style her hair herself. The most she could do was tie it into a ponytail or a bun.

Aunt Yu helped her comb her hair into a flowing bun.

Aunt Yu looked at Gu Liyue's face carefully again, then her expression changed and she took out a veil and handed it to her.

"Miss, please put on your veil!"

Gu Liyue smiled knowingly and said, "Okay."

After changing into a water green long skirt, she showed off her tall figure, slender and graceful body, with shoulders as if carved and waist as if slender, standing tall and graceful.

Look at the delicate eyebrows and eyes again. Under the pair of willow-shaped eyebrows, the phoenix eyes are shining, as if filled with starlight.

Aunt Yu nodded with satisfaction. The young lady's temperament was very similar to that of the lady back then, and she inexplicably carried the aura of a superior.

Along the way, Gu Liyue asked Aunt Yu why the engagement ceremony between the Third Prince and Gu Yaoyao was held at the Gu family?

Aunt Yu replied, "Who knows why the royal family didn't plan to hold the engagement ceremony. Gu Yaoyao didn't know how to explain it to the head of the family, but in the end, the head of the family went to see the emperor and asked him to agree to hold the engagement ceremony at the Gu family."

Gu Yaoyao had someone invite her to attend. She must have been up to something bad and wanted to see her make a fool of herself! She picked up an unwanted marriage and thought it was worth showing off!

When they arrived at the front yard, it was already packed with guests.

Ye Yalin and Gu Yaoyao were inviting the ladies to visit the garden.

When Gu Yaoyao saw Gu Liyue appear, a flash of jealousy passed across her face. She was surprised inwardly that Gu Liyue's temperament had improved several levels after not seeing her for a few days.

Just looking at her face with the veil on, the joy in her heart made the smile on her face more genuine.

Humph! No matter how much you change, you're still ugly.

"Sister, why are you here just now? All the guests are here. Come and help me greet them."

"Oh, I forgot, big sister, you're not very familiar with these ladies from aristocratic families and nobles."
