The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Liao Qinglan's eyes moved through the crowd and soon found Qinghe's figure.

"Qinglan, you're here." Qinghe stepped forward and held Liao Qinglan's hand.

Liao Qinglan nodded: "Yes, the Queen said that she will send someone to call me when she settles down. I am free now, so I will chat with you first."

"I didn't expect it to be really him. Even though I was mentally prepared in advance, I was still shocked." Qinghe couldn't help but sigh.

Suddenly, he remembered Liao Qinglan's feelings, looked at her with a complicated expression, and asked in a low voice: "If you really like him, why don't you give it a try?"

Liao Qinglan lowered her eyes slightly and said, "You can see that he is no longer the same person he was before. It is no longer someone I can decide for sure."

Qinghe sighed helplessly: "Why are you so worried about gains and losses now? Where is the ruthlessness that you had when you were chasing Li Jin before?"

The one who dared to love and hate and pursued Li Jin was the fifteen-year-old Liao Qinglan.

But even if she returned to the age of fifteen, her state of mind was no longer the same as the girl she used to be.

In both lives, she was always in a passive position with Gu Mingzhao.

Gu Mingzhao's moodiness and unpredictable nature also made her feel very insecure.

The two of them sat in silence, only listening to the discussions of the people around them.

The focus of everyone's discussion was undoubtedly Gu Mingzhao, who had just stolen the limelight.

"The King of Qin is truly graceful and extraordinary!"

"No wonder the emperor thinks highly of him and even puts him in charge of the imperial guards."

"The Imperial Guards! They hold the Emperor's lifeline in their hands. How much trust do they have!"

"I wonder which girl can catch his eye?"

"That's right, whoever becomes the Princess of Qin will have a good life in the future."

Just as everyone was talking, a harsh voice suddenly rang out.

"He looks like a male vixen. He may not be pursuing a career in government, but is competing with the ladies in the harem."

The person who spoke was An Linglong, and her words were full of disdain, as if she wanted to trample on Gu Mingzhao's dignity.

An Linglong's words were just short of saying that Gu Mingzhao was the emperor's male favorite.

In addition, her aunt is Concubine An, and the rumor that Gu Mingzhao relied on her beauty to please His Majesty is very likely to have come from the palace.

It’s hard not to let your imagination run wild…

There was dead silence all around.

An Linglong is the second prince's cousin, and she has someone to rely on, so it's understandable that she speaks without restraint.

Even if other people had a lot to say about Gu Mingzhao in their hearts, they didn't dare to say it publicly.

After all, he is the emperor's favorite minister, who dares to offend him easily?

An Linglong was very unwilling to see that no one agreed with her.

She glanced around and her eyes fell on Liao Qinglan, a smug smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

"Miss Liao should feel the same way, don't you think, Miss Liao?" An Linglong said sarcastically.

Liao Qinglan glanced at An Linglong calmly and said, "An Linglong, you know that you will never get any good results under my control. If I were you, I would stay as far away as possible and not get into trouble."

An Linglong was choked by Liao Qinglan's words.

She couldn't stand Liao Qinglan's nonchalant attitude, and always felt that she was pretending and looked down on her.

Now that I finally feel I have found Liao Qinglan's weak spot, how could I let this opportunity go?

An Linglong sneered and deliberately raised her voice, saying, "Miss Liao, I saw it clearly just now. Isn't this King Qin the man who used to be with you? Why, he has climbed up the social ladder and doesn't care about you anymore?"

These words were said in a very ambiguous way, causing everyone to imagine endlessly.

Everyone turned their eyes to Liao Qinglan, their eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.

Gu Mingzhao, the new upstart in the court, seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Many people tried to investigate his background, but all came back empty handed.

His past experiences seemed to have been deliberately erased, and no matter how he searched, he found nothing.

Unexpectedly, he would have an affair with the daughter of the Prime Minister.

For a moment, everyone quickly imagined a romantic drama.

Before Liao Qinglan could say anything, Qinghe couldn't help but say, "This is so boring. The relationship between the King of Qin and Qinglan is innocent. If you have the guts, go and tell the King of Qin and His Majesty. Stop making trouble here."

An Linglong is not a fool.

She knew very well that for men, this kind of thing was just a romantic affair, and could even be used as a topic of conversation.

Even if the news really reached the ears of the King of Qin, he would probably just laugh it off.

But for an unmarried girl like Liao Qinglan, the blow was fatal.

"Oh, I forgot. When the King of Qin followed Miss Liao, he was still an unknown poor scholar. Could it be that the one who married someone else was actually Miss Liao?"

An Linglong covered her mouth and widened her eyes in pretended surprise, as if she had just realized that she had accidentally said the wrong thing.

The atmosphere around suddenly became subtle.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Liao Qinglan, with various complicated expressions on their faces.

Coupled with some rumors about Liao Qinglan and the Wang family of Langya during this period, some people began to whisper.

"After the King of Qin came to power, he had no contact with the Prime Minister's Mansion. It didn't seem like they had any friendship."

"I still remember reading a story about a daughter of a prime minister and a handsome scholar. The description of the scholar really did look a bit like the King of Qin!"

"Is it true, as Miss An said, that Miss Liao married into the Wang family of Langya and abandoned the King of Qin for Wang Tingzhi?"

"Although Wang Tingzhi is young and promising, he is still far behind the King of Qin."

"Miss Liao is really picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons."

"It's hard to predict what will happen in this world. Who knew that the King of Qin would suddenly become rich?"

"Perhaps it was because Miss Liao abandoned King Qin that he was devastated and this opportunity came about."

"If Wang Tingzhi knew about the past between Miss Liao and Prince Qin, would he still want her?"

"Will Miss Liao dump Lord Wang and return to the King of Qin?"

"Eighty percent of the time, such women are used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak."

Liao Qinglan was still here, yet they dared to talk so recklessly. Qinghe was so angry that he was shaking.

"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!" Qinghe scolded harshly.

Some brave people hid in the crowd and shouted, "Princess, even if you cover our mouths, you can't stop the world from talking."

Liao Qinglan looked indifferent.

When something like this happens, people will only blame the woman.

Even if she did nothing, An Linglong could make up outrageous rumors about her with just a few words.

People are often only willing to believe what they want to believe, so whatever she says will be regarded as quibbling.

"presumptuous!"

An angry shout exploded among the crowd like thunder.

Everyone turned around and saw Wang Tingzhi walking towards them with a furious look on his face.

He came to invite Liao Qinglan on the orders of Queen Wang.

I didn't expect to hear these gossips as soon as I arrived, and I suddenly felt a surge of anger in my heart.

Wang Tingzhi is a descendant of the Wang family of Langya. He has a noble status and an aura of majesty without even being angry.

He walked to the center of the crowd and scanned the crowd with his sharp eyes.

Those who were originally whispering suddenly became silent and dared not speak again.
