Chapter 43: The New Male Concubine
The fact that Gan Luo had taken Shangguan Mufeng into the princess's residence quickly became known to the ministers in the court.
The ministers of the imperial court all gathered together.
"Now that Her Highness has a new male favorite, what should we do next?"
At this time, the Grand Tutor heard that the princess had a new male favorite.
His expression naturally turned cold and even colder.
"This princess is indeed very fickle."
Upon hearing what the Grand Tutor said, the ministers all mocked him.
"What do you mean by Princess being fickle? Is it that your son is ungrateful, showing no kindness to Princess when she is in love with someone?"
"Yes, Grand Tutor, aren't your words going too far?"
The Grand Tutor was furious when he heard what they said.
Gan Luo now has a new male favorite, Shangguan Mufeng.
Wouldn't his son then have no further development...?
Thinking back on her son, she felt a surge of anger.
If his son had treated Gan Luo well before, he would now be the prince consort.
After becoming a prince consort, he will surely bring glory to his ancestors.
However, wouldn't he be able to swagger around and show off his power in this imperial court?
After all, everyone knows the name of the princess.
But now, things have developed to this point.
"Moreover, as far as I know, isn't this Young Master Zhao completely in love with Miss Xu?"
"Yes, the Grand Tutor's son is in love with Miss Xu from the Prime Minister's residence."
Xu Jinxin appears to be Gan Luo's cousin.
If the two of them could become in-laws, that would be quite nice.
Unfortunately, the princess must be feeling terrible.
After all, Zhao Wuji was Gan Luo's beloved in the past.
If they were the princess...
Having offended them in this way, I felt a burning urge to tear them to pieces.
The fact that Gan Luo did not do such a thing today shows that he is kind.
The Grand Tutor listened from the side, his face turning pale and then flushed.
He was filled with remorse.
I never imagined things would turn out this way.
After glancing at these officials, he had no choice but to slink away.
"I never expected that the Grand Tutor would leave without even saying goodbye."
The Minister couldn't help but say this.
When the Minister said that, another official said something.
"It's obvious that it hit a nerve, which made him a little unhappy."
However, they all felt it was fine.
"Who is Shangguan Mufeng's father?"
They are all here, deep in thought.
One of the officials spoke first.
"As far as I know, Shangguan Mufeng's father is Shangguan Nantian."
This Shangguan Nantian seems to be a third-rank official in the imperial court, whose official position is not very high.
If that's the case...
"Now that Her Highness the Princess has taken a liking to his son, do you think this person's official position will be promoted next?"
After this person said this, another person told him the same thing.
"Based on my understanding, I believe this person's official position should be promoted."
They weren't very familiar with Shangguan Nantian.
After all, this person's official position wasn't very high.
They usually thought that this person had no chance of making a comeback.
Who would have thought his son would be so capable?
Since they were able to get close to the princess.
This princess is the emperor's own sister.
The eldest princess, personally bestowed by the late emperor.
"How about we pay a visit to Shangguan Nantian another day? What do you all think?"
These officials all agreed.
"But I think that if we all go together, it might frighten them. Perhaps we should go separately."
Their purpose in doing this is simple: to control Shangguan Nantian.
By controlling Shangguan Nantian, Shangguan Mufeng can be controlled.
This was done to restrain Gan Luo.
The princess's status and position are evident here.
She is extremely powerful, and the guards are all very close to the princess.
They do whatever the princess says.
They would never disobey the princess.
It is precisely because of this that officials in the imperial court are worried.
What if Gan Luo ever decides to rebel?
These guards would naturally follow Gan Luo.
However, by then, it was all too late.
The name of the country and its people has most likely been changed.
How could they possibly allow something like this to happen?
He had previously thought that Gan Luo's weakness was Lin Fengmian.
But Lin Fengmian's actions were clear to them all.
They had no way of controlling Lin Fengmian.
After all, Lin Fengmian was a secret guard, and his guiding principle was to be wholeheartedly devoted to his master.
This is what gives them a headache.
Several days later, Gan Luo became interested in a man once again.
The man's father held a relatively low-ranking official position, making him easier for them to control.
Xin Ruyu naturally knew that Gan Luo had brought Shangguan Mufeng into the princess's residence.
The strategist asked Xin Ruyu again.
"Your Highness, do you really think that this princess has no interest in Shangguan Mufeng?!"
"My intuition has never been wrong."
As for why Gan Luo brought Shangguan Mufeng into the princess's residence, it was ultimately due to Gan Luo's own reasons.
He couldn't very well ask, otherwise it might arouse Gan Luo's suspicion.
Gan Luo stayed in the princess's residence.
"Your Highness, I have something to tell you."
Gan Luo picked a grape and ate it slowly.
"Green Bamboo, just say what you have to say. I'm listening."
"Your Highness, there are rumors circulating outside that you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Mufeng had already arrived.
Gan Luo made a shushing gesture.
"Greetings to Your Highness the Princess."
Gan Luo looked up at Shangguan Mufeng and said expressionlessly.
"Young Master Shangguan, please sit down here when you arrive."
Shangguan Mufeng looked at Gan Luo with a myriad of thoughts in his eyes.
This close observation shows that Gan Luo's appearance was truly exceptional.
Looking around, there should be no one in the world who can match Gan Luo's appearance.
"Young master, won't you ask why I brought you back to the princess's residence?"
"Her Highness the Princess brought me back to her residence, which suggests that she has a particular interest in me."
This person is quite sharp-tongued and eloquent.
Upon closer inspection, this person was quite good-looking...
Unfortunately, Gan Luo had no interest in people with that kind of appearance.
Gan Luo once again used his mind-reading ability to try and understand what was on this person's mind.
Unexpectedly, the final result was still zero.
Gan Luo was quite puzzled.
Logically, we shouldn't wait like this, but now we can't find out what this person is thinking.
It seems we'll have to investigate the cause gradually.
"May I fan Your Highness?"
Gan Luo shook his head and looked up at Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo.
"With the two of them here, that's enough for now."
Shangguan Mufeng wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to start.
