            The two big men walked very fast, and walked farther and farther away. Feng Xi Er looked towards Seventh Prince. That guy's face became more and more unpleasant, as if he caught an incurable disease and would spit black blood at anytime.  

            Feng Xi Er felt so refreshed, and her heart was full of joy. Her mouth could not help but raise a smirk. 

            When Feng Xi Er noticed a feeling of being observed, she looked over and a man, who looked younger than Seventh Prince, was waving his fan while looking at her smilingly. Looking at his dressing, he should be one of the princes.

            Although the distance was a bit far, Feng Xi Er thought that that person's smile made one feel uncomfortable. He was like a guest who was watching a good show.  

            I'd bet that pretty boy [1]was watching her acting? Since she acted with so much zest. For some reason, her mood became bad.  

            That pretty boy shook the fan and walked to Seventh Prince's side, while his eyes still stayed on her. Feng Xi Er faintly heard the pretty boy say: "Seventh brother, this Miss Feng is really interesting". 

            This voice, it turns out that this person was the one who laughed just now. Of course, by the side of the pretty boy was the man in that Princely attire that, from the start to the end, stood there without saying a word. He did not look like someone who would laugh. 

            At the moment when the door was closed, Feng Xi Er saw the Seventh Prince glare at the pretty boy fiercely. 

            When she returned to the backyard, Feng Xi Er laid down on the massage chair and gnawed on her melon seeds. Because she was bored, she chatted with Xiao Tu Dou about gossip. 

             “Tu Dou, who was the pretty boy with the fan in the Seventh Prince's residence?” The former Feng Xi er was originally weak and rarely went out of the house, so she knew very little about the gossip of the Tianlong Dynasty. The current Feng Xi Er had the mind and curiosity of a modern person living in this world. Therefore, concerning gossip, of course, the more you know, the better the quality.

            Xiao Tu Dou had become accustomed to the change in her Miss and was no longer surprised at the way she spoke. 

            "That was Tenth Prince, one of the 'big four beautiful men' in Tian Long Dynasty. He holds a jade fan, casual with an elegant bearing. Amongst all the princes, the Tenth Prince loves to laugh the most, and his character is the most cheerful. And so, he is very popular with us girls."  

            Once you've started on the topic, you can't stop talking. As long as you have a question, Xiao Tu Dou will have an answer. The more they talked, the more excited they became.

            Feng Xi Er took a sip of tea and continued to gossip: "So the big four beautiful men are Seventh Prince, Eighth Prince, Ninth Prince, and Tenth Prince. So, Seventh Prince is number 1, then who takes the second place?"

            "In fact, if the 'Ghost King' was not disfigured, the number one most handsome men would definitely be the Ghost King. In those days, Mei imperial concubine was so beautiful. She was really a beautiful woman unmatched in her generation. What a pity that beautiful women often suffer unhappy fates…"   

            "Ghost King is Mei concubine's son? You have seen Mei concubine before? In what way was she ill-fated?" Feng Xi-Er got excited as her gossipy heart surfaced.

            “This Servant has been with the Madam since young. In those years, when the Madam and Mei concubine had a good relationship, Mei concubine occasionally invited Madam into the palace. That time, This servant was still young, but could still remember that This servant only took a glance at the Mei concubine, but felt that her beauty was shocking among man and heaven. This servant had never seen such a beautiful woman. At that time, although Ninth Prince was only 10 years old and had not grown up, but his appearance was very similar to Mei concubine. Amongst all the princes, he was definitely the most beautiful. "

            Xiao Tu Dou heaved a long sigh: "Sigh, unfortunately, good people will always have more hardships. After Madam passed away due to sickness, Mei concubine was sent into the cold palace by the emperor. Later, the cold palace caught a fire, and Mei concubine died in that fire. Although Ninth Prince barely escaped alive, but he was disfigured and disabled. Eventually, the emperor confined him to the Ninth Prince Residence. The world has since called the Ninth Prince, the Ghost King, and for many years after, nobody cared about him." 

            Feng Xi Er thought in her heart: it must be those vicious women again who were jealous of Mei concubine's beauty, and schemed to kill her. Sigh, the harem drama has always been this case. The war between women is cruel and scary.

            No, she definitely does not want to marry. But the current situation is that if she does not marry Seventh Prince, then she will likely be bestowed marriage to the Crown Prince or some other prince. 

             As soon as she thought of this, Feng Xi Er felt distressed, but she knew that this was the fate of many transmigrators. She must fight to the end. Never to resign herself to this. 

            Thinking of those tricks during the day, as long as the Seventh Princes detests her and is determined not to marry her, the dog emperor loves the Seventh Prince so much, so he will not force Seventh Prince, right? In fact, Feng Xi er knew that this was only a temporary plan. Therefore, now she had to have enough money and then flee to a faraway place with Xiao Tu Dou.            

After chatting till late at night, the both of them felt sleepy and finally, went to sleep.
