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

Chapter 44: Hesitation

Shangguan Mufeng suddenly found himself holding a token.

"This token is proof that you can enter and leave the princess's residence at any time."

Gan Luo yawned and turned to look at Lin Fengmian.

"I'm tired, Guard Lin, why don't you carry me inside to rest for a while?"

Lin Fengmian was extremely surprised at that moment.

Standing there silently, I never expected Gan Luo to let me...

"Princess, you are of noble birth, while I am but a lowly servant..."

Gan Luo was very displeased upon hearing this, and his face turned cold.

"If we go by what you say, you're unwilling, aren't you?"

How could Lin Fengmian not want to hug Gan Luo? He just felt that their social statuses were too different.

If this gets out, wouldn't it make Gan Luo a laughingstock?

Gan Luo sensed what Lin Fengmian was thinking.

"I don't mind."

Then Lin Fengmian walked up to Gan Luo and gently picked him up.

In that instant, Lin Fengmian felt that Gan Luo was surprisingly light.

It looks like we'll have to let Gan Luo eat more next time.

Otherwise, what if a gust of wind could blow it away?

Shangguan Mufeng suddenly felt that he was superfluous in the room.

"Young Master Shangguan, let me take you back to your courtyard and see if you like it. If you don't, tell me and I will inform the princess. The princess will find you another courtyard."

After all, there are many courtyards in the princess's residence.

If Shangguan Mufeng wants to change, Gan Luo will likely grant his request.

The two of them arrived at a bamboo forest.

"This place is quite remote and quiet, and it is called Bamboo Grove Garden."

Shangguan Mufeng actually quite liked this style.

Unexpectedly, Gan Luo arranged things so well.

He was naturally overjoyed.

He plans to learn about the real Gan Luo through his own experience.

So now they made a decision: to first win Gan Luo's favor.

Gan Yanling decided to summon Xin Ruyu to the palace.

Xin Ruyu never expected that Gan Yanling would invite him into the palace again.

Although Xin Ruyu was extremely unwilling.

Unfortunately, Gan Yanling was the emperor.

Since he was a king in Gan Yanling, he knew exactly what would happen if he disobeyed the king's orders.

Xin Ruyu still has many things to resolve.

How could they possibly perish here?

The emperor now wishes to see Xin Ruyu.

Xin Ruyu naturally agreed.

They then went to the palace, where Xin Ruyu looked at the vast palace and sighed slightly.

Upon learning of Xin Ruyu's arrival, Gan Yanling hurriedly had someone invite him in.

"Take a seat."

Xin Ruyu was the first to greet Gan Yanling.

"Your Majesty has summoned me here again. Has something happened?"

"I just want to ask you, since my elder sister now has a new male favorite, is Your Highness willing to give up on her?"

"Your Majesty, I have no other choice but to marry a princess."

Seeing Xin Ruyu like this, Gan Yanling found it quite amusing.

"My elder sister doesn't seem to have any feelings for you. You can't force things. Why should Your Highness pursue her so relentlessly?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard the saying, 'Sincerity can move mountains'?"

"Ah."

Gan Yanling felt somewhat mocked.

I never expected this person to be so stubborn.

This is truly laughable.

Gan Yanling waved his hand, signaling Xin Ruyu to leave.

"This man is truly infuriating to me."

The only words I heard from Xin Ruyu were, "I've really given up."

Xin Ruyu was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, I will feel uneasy for a long time.

At the same time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xu Jinxin was naturally complaining to Prime Minister Xu.

"Father, Her Highness the Princess actually humiliated me at the poetry competition."

The more he talked about it, the angrier he became.

"You say that Her Highness the Princess humiliated you, why don't you tell your father what Her Highness the Princess did?"

"The princess stole the spotlight from my daughter and even released caterpillars to scare her."

As they talked, tears naturally streamed down their faces.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jinxin's mother became angry in an instant.

"I never expected the princess to do such a thing."

This is truly devoid of any manners.

Even if Gan Luo was a princess, so what?

"Father, you must stand up for your daughter!"

Xu Jinxin immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud.

When Prime Minister Xu saw Xu Jinxin kneeling on the ground, he quickly helped her up.

"My dear Xin'er, all I want to tell you is that everything takes time, especially considering the princess's status and position. What I said to her might cause problems later..."

But if that's really the case, then she'll have to suffer such a great injustice.

Xu Jinxin focused her gaze on her mother.

Xu Jinxin's mother sighed helplessly to herself.

"My lord, regarding this matter, I do think that the princess has indeed gone too far."

Unexpectedly, he was reprimanded by Prime Minister Xu.

"Xin'er, your father remembers you and the son of the Grand Tutor..."

Unexpectedly, Xu Jinxin hurriedly denied it.

"My daughter and the son of the Grand Tutor are nothing more than friends."

Prime Minister Xu isn't a fool; how could he not know about the relationship between the two of them...?

"I don't care what's going on between you two, I just want to tell you one thing: your future husband will definitely not be the son of the Grand Tutor."

He is a prime minister. If a prime minister were to marry off his daughter, how could she marry the Grand Tutor?

Moreover, the prime minister is also ambitious.

How could they possibly give up so easily?

Xu Jinxin was filled with worry after hearing what Prime Minister Xu said.

I was actually planning to talk about Gan Luo.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Xu actually dismissed Xu Jinxin so she could reflect on her actions.

Xu Jinxin left in a huff.

Xu Jinxin's mother naturally walked up to Prime Minister Xu.

"My lord, I don't understand why you are so harsh on Xin'er these days."

Prime Minister Xu naturally told Gan Luo's mother the whole story.

"If you can't even handle these things, what will happen to her in the future..."

The Prime Minister Xu did not speak the rest of the story about the painting, but spoke slowly.

"As far as I am concerned, I believe that we should always take a long-term view."

If our vision is limited to this point, then our path is also limited to this place.

And from here on out, you will be unable to check other roads.

This is a significant loss for them.

Xu Jinxin's mother was completely confused by what she heard.

However, he understood that Prime Minister Xu already had a plan in mind.

"Don't worry, I won't let my daughter suffer in vain."

He said he would get his revenge on Gan Luo a hundredfold.

But not now, because he doesn't have the ability to deal with Gan Luo.

Gan Luo's status was much higher than his.
