While talking, the three of them had already reached the palace gate.

Eunuch Li saw the two of them out, and the guards rushed over to the carriage and handed it over to Mo Shoucheng.

After saying goodbye to Eunuch Li, the two jumped into the carriage and drove towards the Lin family's courtyard.

Duan Wenjun did not sit in the carriage, but sat side by side with Mo Shoucheng on the edge of the car in front.

Mo Shoucheng raised the whip in his hand and let the carriage move slowly.

He turned to look at Duan Wenjun, "What do you want to ask?"

"Love-forgetting flower!" Duan Wenjun asked directly without giving in, "I saw that when the eldest princess said that the perfume was called Forgetting-forgetting Flower, you suddenly laughed."

"You don't know what it means?" Mo Shoucheng was slightly surprised.

"What do you mean?" Duan Wenjun was stunned.

"The meaning of Wangqinghua, of course, is Wangqing!" Mo Shoucheng looked confused.

"No, what I mean is, why did the eldest princess ask me to call that perfume Flower of Forgetfulness and give it to Concubine Xian?" Duan Wenjun looked depressed.

"Oh! You're talking about this! You should have told me earlier!" Mo Shoucheng looked like he suddenly realized it, but in an instant he became horrified. "That's not right. Don't you know?"

"What do I know?" Duan Wenjun felt very depressed when he saw his surprised look.

"You should know!" Mo Shoucheng looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Have you never heard of that?"

"I said, can you stop acting like a woman, a mother-in-law?" Duan Wenjun was a little angry, "What's going on?"

Mo Shoucheng looked at Duan Wenjun carefully again, convinced that he really didn't know, and then said, "I really thought you knew, because this matter has something to do with your mother."

"Is it related to my mother?" Duan Wenjun's heart trembled. "Old Mo, please tell me what's going on. I'm almost dying of anxiety."

Mo Shoucheng finally stopped nagging and started talking while driving the carriage slowly.

Twenty years ago, there were four talented women in Shangliang City, the capital.

The leader is the eldest princess Chai Haorong.

Qiuyun, the mother of Concubine Xian Chuchu and Duan Wenjun, is also among them.

There is another person, that is Zhong Wenwen from the Zhong family.

However, these four talented women in Kyoto are not just talking about how good their literary talents are.

But because these four people were the four most beautiful women in Guozixue at that time.

Of course, it's not entirely because of their beauty, but also because of their strength.

Needless to say, the eldest princess Chai Haorong’s status as a royal princess is unmatched by anyone.

When he was young, he was the king of the country, and countless princes from aristocratic families and princes from neighboring countries came to propose marriage.

In particular, even Qin Feng was full of praise for the eldest princess's accomplishments in poetry.

The eldest princess is a truly talented woman.

Duan Wenjun's mother, Qiuyun, was naturally beautiful, and she was the most beautiful among the four talented women.

However, she is not good at poetry, but is good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

It is said that her piano skills were highly praised by Dashun Qin Immortal Dugu Qianqiu.

Dugu Qianqiu once personally coached her.

Her chess skills are also very good.

When he was thirteen years old, he once played against Dashun Chess Fairy and lost only three pieces.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Qiu Yun is a talented woman.

However, although Concubine Xian Ye Chuchu was very beautiful, she had no interest in reciting poems, composing poems, playing chess, calligraphy and painting.

However, she is very skilled in martial arts and has great strategies.

This can be regarded as a kind of talent, but it is just what people imagine.

At that time, they were all studying at Guozixue.

Guozixue is naturally a gathering place for the princes of the imperial city and the capital.

Naturally, they also became the existence that all the stars admired.

The current emperor and the four princes, his brothers from the same mother, are all studying in Guozixue.

At that time, the literary style of Dashun was flourishing, and many princes and students from neighboring countries were sent to study.

Among them are the current emperor Yelu Bahuang of Mo State and Emperor Murong Jiujiu of Yan State.

Of course, none of them were emperors at that time, not even princes.

When he heard this, Duan Wenjun couldn't help but be shocked.

He remembered that Qin Feng once mentioned to him that his father Duan Daxiong was once one of his most proud students, and he once studied with him at Guozixue.

However, too many things happened later, and Duan Daxiong did not even attend Qiu Wei, so he took Qiu Yun back to Duan Jiabao.

So he no longer gets involved in academic matters.

If Qiu Yun was a classmate of so many big shots, wouldn't it mean that Duan Daxiong was also a classmate of these people.

It seems a bit abnormal that Duan Daxiong has never mentioned such a prominent thing to himself due to his self-proclaimed personality.

Putting it this way, Duan Daxiong and Emperor Shun actually knew each other...

When Duan Daxiong came to Beijing, he just said that Duan Wenjun had offended the Zhang family and he wanted to come to the capital to visit and develop connections to help.

However, Duan Wenjun really didn't know that there was such a person in his network.

Of course, these people are classmates with him. As Duan Daxiong, even if he finds them, he may not necessarily help...

Mo Shoucheng didn't stop talking, and went on to tell more shocking rumors that he didn't know.

At that time, among the boys in Guozixue, the fourth prince Chai Haoyan was the most popular.

Among the four talented women, Ye Chuchu and Qiu Yun both fell in love with him.

The two women, Wen and Wu, are both fierce-tempered, and neither one is convinced by the other.

However, for unknown reasons, things suddenly changed one after another.

Qiuyun suddenly fell in love with Duan Daxiong and eloped with him to Wangjiang.

The fourth prince was also ordered to go to Jingzhou to thoroughly investigate the corruption case. Not long after, he rebelled. In the end, he was defeated by Fushuihe and set himself on fire.

The man who led the army to defeat the Fourth Prince and watched him burn his boat and self-immolate was none other than Ye Chuchu's father, General Ye Ming.

It was also at that time that the eldest princess followed the late emperor out of the palace. When she came back, she contracted a serious illness and never went to Guozixue again.

Qin Feng, the head of Guozixue, also retired and returned to his hometown at that time.

Later, the current emperor was named the prince, and Ye Chuchu was also selected into the East Palace and became a side concubine.

The two also withdrew from Guozixue.

When the current emperor ascends the throne, Ye Chuchu will become the current Concubine Xian.

All that happened happened within a matter of a few months.

Almost everyone in Guozixue felt a little overwhelmed.

Many people are even speculating whether there might be any hidden secrets.

After all these years, things have faded away.

Mo Shoucheng felt that perhaps the eldest princess could still feel that Concubine Xian might still have some concerns in her heart.

You know, the fourth prince Chai Haoyan was Concubine Xian's former lover, but he died in the hands of her father.

There must be uneasiness and guilt in her heart.

Duan Wenjun came from Wangjiang again, the place where the fourth prince left.

It is inevitable that Concubine Xian will be reminded of some sad past events.

That's why the eldest princess changed the name of the perfume to Wangqing...
