After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 264: Wedding Banquet

"Your Highness, I have something to tell you. They say that Young Master Shangguan came by earlier, but he left after learning that Your Highness was not here." The person who said this was naturally Gan Luo, a recently recruited subordinate named Nangong Lingxu.

After Nangong Lingxu told Gan Luo about this, Gan Luo decided to go to the Shangguan residence to see what kind of trouble Shangguan Mufeng was up to. Gan Luo then arrived at the residence.

Shangguan Mufeng told Gan Luo that she wanted to invite Gan Luo to the wedding banquet, but she didn't know if Gan Luo would be willing to come. More importantly, she wanted to invite Gan Luo in person, rather than handing her an invitation. That's why she came to the Princess's residence in person.

Gan Luo undoubtedly agreed without hesitation and informed Shangguan Mufeng without any problems. At this moment, Shangguan Mufeng handed the invitation to Gan Luo and told him that he hoped Gan Luo would come next month.

"I am truly sorry, but I must travel to Jiangnan at that time, so I will not be here. Regarding this matter, I am willing to give you a generous gift to express my apologies."

Gan Luo wanted to give Shangguan Mufeng a higher official rank, so that Shangguan Mufeng's official position could be promoted further.

Afterwards, Gan Luo arrived at the palace.

When the Grand Tutor saw Gan Luo, he was somewhat surprised for a moment. He had never expected Gan Luo to come to the palace. It was quite unbelievable that Gan Luo would come to the palace. He didn't know why Gan Luo had come to the palace, so he asked him.

"I never expected to see Her Highness here. It's quite surprising, even to me. How did Her Highness end up in the palace all of a sudden?"

Gan Luo didn't even bother to acknowledge the person in front of him, giving him only a cold glance before the Grand Tutor said, "Actually, I don't think the Grand Tutor needs to be so hypocritical here, after all, I won't fall for such a thing."

Gan Luo then went directly to Gan Yanling, only to find that Gan Yanling was reviewing memorials in the Imperial Study. Upon arriving there, he discovered a mountain of memorials piled up inside.

Gan Luo was stunned for a moment, after all, he had never been to the Imperial Study before, and now that he was here, seeing so many memorials, he felt as if he were in a dream.

"Why has Your Highness found time to come here today? Does Your Highness perhaps wish to have another chat with these two people?"

"I've come here to tell you something. You should know that Shangguan Mufeng is getting married soon. I hope you can give him a promotion, that is, raise his official rank to this level."

Gan Yanling instantly understood that the reason for coming here was this matter. This was a trivial matter for Gan Yanling, and he agreed without hesitation, willing to increase Shangguan Mofang's official rank.

"Your Majesty, do you hate me? After all, I sent you to Jiangnan. This is a matter for officials of the court, but I made you, a woman, do it. I feel a little guilty about it."

"As far as I am concerned, this matter is not important to me. I have other matters to attend to and will take my leave now. I hope that Your Majesty will keep your word and not linger here, otherwise I will be angry."

After saying these words, Gan Luo didn't even turn his head without hesitation, while Lin Fengmian waited for Gan Luo outside.

"your Highness."

Seeing Lin Fengmian's appearance, Gan Luo smiled and left the palace with Lin Fengmian.

The sight of the two men with their arms around each other was clearly seen by the surrounding palace maids. Even the maids couldn't help but gossip behind Gan Luo's back, saying things like he was indecent. When Gan Luo heard this, he walked straight up to one of the maids and kicked her to the ground.

“You are nothing but a lowly palace maid. How can you compare yourself to me? You dare to talk about me here. I will drag you away and give you eighty strokes of the cane.”

The palace maid, dressed in pink, immediately knelt on the ground, begging Gan Luo to spare her, as she knew she had made a mistake.

Unexpectedly, Gan Luo ignored what the people around him said and ordered the eunuchs to drag the palace maid away. Gan Luo then continued walking forward, and the people around him thought that Gan Luo was indeed decisive and ruthless, and even pleading was useless.

"However, I think what Her Highness said is indeed the truth. After all, Her Highness is the eldest princess, a very precious status, and not just anyone can talk about her here. We are just lowly palace maids, of humble status, yet we are talking about her here. No wonder..."

Gan Luo then turned his attention to Lin Fengmian's thoughts, asking if what he had just done was a bit excessive. Lin Fengmian told Gan Luo that it was not excessive, but rather that he thought Gan Luo had done a pretty good job.

"Your Highness has never asked your subordinates such questions before. It's quite puzzling why Your Highness is asking me these things now."

"The reason for these things is simply because I feel that my hands are stained with too much blood. Along the way, I feel that I am an unforgivable villain."

Lin Fengmian felt extremely sad upon hearing what Gan Luo said. He didn't want Gan Luo to have such thoughts and only hoped that Gan Luo could be happy.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? How could Your Highness be such a heinous person? Your Highness, please don't say such things here. To me, Your Highness is my god."

Lin Fengmian and Gan Luo returned to the Princess's residence. Gan Luo then learned that the last day of their trip to Jiangnan was ten days from now, meaning that Gan Luo could stay in the capital for ten days.

I wonder what will happen in Kyoto during this month?
