On September 16, the weather was clear and comfortable.

Early in the morning, my father and I went to the Jade Mandarin Duck Tower.

My father announced loudly that Miss Yu from the Yu family would be throwing the embroidered ball today to find a husband.

In no time, many people gathered downstairs.

Among them were Qi Letian, unmarried men brought by my father, and... the skilled martial artists I had invited.

Once everyone was there, my father asked me to come out from behind the curtain and throw the embroidered ball.

Just as I caught the ball, I noticed a carriage not far away being drawn in by the commotion.

That carriage belonged to Princess Feng Yu and Crown Prince Gu Xing.

As a princess, Feng Yu rarely left the palace. It was a rare occasion that the Crown Prince took her out to inspect the people, so naturally, she wanted to join in the excitement.

She quickly jumped off the carriage, pulling Gu Xing along.

Here it comes!

Following the countless rehearsals I had with the martial artists, I pretended to throw the embroidered ball towards Qi Letian.

At that moment, the martial artist standing behind Qi Letian kicked his legs hard, causing him to fall to the ground and miss the ball.

When another person tried to grab it, they were suddenly kicked away from the ball.

Then Feng Yu, feeling playful as if from a past life, relying on her knowledge of martial arts, tried to snatch the ball from me.

However, this time, the people I had arranged blocked her, preventing her from getting close.

Finally, as someone was about to grab the ball, their legs gave out, and the ball brushed past them, landing in Gu Xing's arms.

Instinctively catching it, Gu Xing made Feng Yu explode in anger.

"Brother... how could you catch her embroidered ball! A common woman, how could she be worthy of you. You should quickly return the ball to her."

Gu Xing was on this trip for official business and indeed had no time for romantic entanglements.

But just as he was about to throw the ball away and leave, a gust of wind accidentally blew off the veil covering my face, revealing my true identity to everyone.

And the astonishment in Gu Xing's eyes was exactly the same as in the past life.
