Chapter 225 My name is Wen Ling, you can just call me Ling'er
Gu Shurui followed Gu Lanzhi around with his baby in his arms for the whole day. However, when Gu Lanzhi entered the intelligence center, Gu Shurui did not go in. Instead, he waited for Gu Lanzhi outside by the rockery with his baby in his arms.
Gu Shurui already knew what was in there, and he also understood that it was not a place he could enter casually, so he very sensibly chose to wait outside.
Now even if you ask Gu Shurui to go in, he won’t go in to take a look.
Because his younger brother and son were waiting outside, Gu Lanzhi came out after just over half an hour.
Gu Shurui must be relieved that Gu Lanzhi is taking care of the child, but the way a parent cares about his or her child is something that others cannot understand.
Even though he knew that Gu Shurui could take good care of the baby, Gu Lanzhi still said what he wanted to say and quickly walked out.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as Gu Lanzhi walked out of the rockery, he saw Gu Shurui holding a child and talking to a pretty little girl.
Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows, because judging from the girl's age and the portrait that Chen Yi gave him, this girl was the second daughter of the new Imperial Censor, the girl that Gu Shurui had helped.
Gu Lanzhi did not approach immediately, but released his psychic powers and secretly listened to the two people's conversation.
"My name is Wen Ling, you can just call me Ling'er."
Wen Ling smiled happily as she introduced herself to Gu Shurui. Since the accident, Wen Ling had come to the villa many times. Either she didn't meet Gu Shurui or Gu Shurui was busy and she didn't feel comfortable going up to disturb him.
She originally thought that she would not be able to talk to Gu Shurui this time she came to the villa. She never expected that she just wanted to find a quiet place, but she actually met Gu Shurui here.
"Miss Wen." Gu Shurui greeted Wen Ling politely.
Wen Ling asked Gu Shurui to call her Ling'er, but Gu Shurui didn't want to really call her by her maiden name, after all, they were not familiar with each other.
"You are so polite. Forget it, just call me whatever you want." Wen Ling looked at Gu Shurui with a smile.
Hearing this, Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows. This is a girl with a free and easy personality!
"Is this your child?"
Wen Ling looked at the baby in Gu Shurui's arms curiously, and the baby also looked at Wen Ling curiously with his big eyes.
"This is my brother's child."
The little girl had no ill intentions, and Gu Shurui spoke to her very gently.
"Your brother? Then... isn't that the queen? Then... is this the little prince?"
Wen Ling stared at Gu Shurui with eyes wide open, her face full of surprise!
It’s no wonder Wen Ling was surprised. This is the only prince of this dynasty, and he is so young and he has already left the palace!
Although there were people protecting him not far away and there were people following Gu Shurui, it was incredible that such a young prince could leave the palace.
Gu Shurui thought Wen Ling was very cute because her eyes were so wide and the expression on her face was so lively.
Gu Shurui smiled and nodded to Wen Ling, "Yes, it's the little prince."
As soon as Gu Shurui finished speaking, Wen Ling quickly tidied her clothes and hair and saluted the little prince.
"Your servant greets the prince."
Wen Ling did not grow up in Kyoto. If her father had not been promoted, she would have never been to Kyoto.
As for etiquette, my mother specially found someone to teach me after we arrived in Kyoto.
Unexpectedly, I would use it today.
Even though our baby is still so young, he is still a prince, and we should pay our respects to him.
But after Wen Ling saluted, our baby said "ah ah" twice to Wen Ling and waved his chubby little hands, as if asking Wen Ling to stand up.
Gu Shurui was already familiar with the baby's reaction. He smiled and said to Wen Ling, "Miss Wen, please get up. The little prince also wants you to get up!"
After saying that, she looked at the child in her arms and asked softly, "Is this what you mean, baby?"
The baby also said "ah" to Gu Shurui and nodded his head.
Wen Ling looked at the little prince's reaction in amazement and said in surprise: "Can the little prince understand what we are saying? The little prince is so smart!"
Babies of a few months old can understand what adults say and can respond correctly, but just describing them as smart is a bit of an understatement.
Gu Shurui said he enjoyed it very much when others praised his baby for being smart. He liked hearing others say that his nephew was smart.
It’s one thing to like hearing it, but you can’t really accept other people’s compliments.
But if you asked Gu Shurui to say "It's not that the baby is smart", he couldn't say it, so he just smiled gently and didn't say anything.
But after that, the atmosphere between Gu Shurui and Wen Ling became a little awkward.
Because there was no topic left for the two of them to talk about, they stopped talking.
Wen Ling was a brave woman. She stared at Gu Shurui's face, but Gu Shurui looked away embarrassedly.
Gu Lanzhi looked at the situation and complained in his heart that Gu Shurui was useless, then he walked out of the rockery.
"Hey? Where did such a cute girl come from?" Gu Lanzhi looked at Wen Ling with a smile.
The Imperial Censor had only been in office for three months, and Wen Ling had never met the Queen, Gu Lanzhi.
So when Gu Lanzhi walked over from the rockery, Wen Ling subconsciously took a step back.
This was the instinctive reaction of ladies from noble families in ancient times towards foreign men, and Gu Lanzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But when Wen Ling saw Gu Lanzhi's face clearly, she was attracted by this Nuwa-like face and said without thinking, "Sir, you are so handsome."
But just as he finished saying this, he heard Gu Shurui calling him "Brother".
Just this one word exploded in Wen Ling's mind.
What did Gu Shurui call this young master? Brother?
Gu Shurui’s brother, doesn’t that mean…what did she just say?
In an instant, Wen Ling's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground with a "thump", kowtowed to Gu Lanzhi, and said: "Please forgive me, Queen, please forgive me."
Wen Ling's movements were so fast and so sudden that even Gu Lanzhi was stunned for a moment.
After realizing why Wen Ling was like this, Gu Lanzhi laughed and said, "Okay, okay, get up quickly!
You praised me for my good looks, what's the forgivable sin? Get up!"
Ignorance is not a crime. Wen Ling only told the truth because she didn't know Gu Lanzhi's identity. In the eyes of Gu Lanzhi, a modern man, this is nothing.
But in the concept of the ancients, that would be extremely disrespectful, even if he was praising Gu Lanzhi.
The queen is the queen, and her dignity is inviolable, so Wen Ling was so scared that her face turned pale.
After making sure that Gu Lanzhi really didn't blame her, Wen Ling stood up tremblingly, but she didn't dare to look up at Gu Lanzhi again.
Gu Lanzhi saw that the little girl was frightened, so he tried to comfort her!
This girl might become his sister-in-law. Even if she doesn't, she is still a very cute girl. It's better not to be scared.
"Miss Wen, there is no need to be like this. I am just a guest visiting the villa today, just like you, so there is really no need to be afraid."
Hearing Gu Lanzhi say this, Wen Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then she dared to secretly look up at Gu Lanzhi again.
