Jiang Ning limped out of her quarters one day and entered the Jiang family's second courtyard, just as the Emperor was selecting a concubine for Prince Yu.  Noble ladies from high-ranking families put in their best efforts to participate in the selection, but the flower fell on Jiang Ning, who was merely there to watch the spectacle.  Jiang Ning was confused.

He hung his head in shame. "If it were Gucheng, he would never have made such a mistake."

Jiang Ning chuckled. "If it were Gucheng, he wouldn't have let me take such a risk in the first place."

Gufeng's mood lightened a bit. "The General also said that Gucheng tends to be disobedient."

"That's why our Gufeng is the good boy." Jiang Ning raised her hand, watching him struggling with the lock, her expression worried. "Can't you unlock it?"
