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

Chapter 20: Heading to the Princess's Residence

Gan Luo, however, saw right through Lin Fengmian's thoughts.

She gently closed the folding fan in her hand and looked up at Lin Fengmian.

"I'm a little tired. Let me rest in the South Garden for a while."

Gan Luo wanted to say "hug," but ultimately felt it was inappropriate, so he gave up.

"Subordinates take orders."

Lin Fengmian helped Gan Luo walk towards the South Garden. Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo, having received orders, naturally ran quickly to the South Garden to serve Gan Luo.

The two of them tidied the bed and gently took off Gan Luo's shoes.

"Princess, are you comfortable?"

The two women asked in soft, gentle voices.

"can."

Lin Fengmian stood silently to the side, like a wooden figure.

Looking at Gan Luo's tightly closed eyes, recalling what had happened before, he let out a long sigh.

Princess's true thoughts are truly hard to fathom.

Gan Luo closed his eyes and fell asleep, but his sleep was somewhat restless, with his brows furrowed.

Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo were particularly worried when they saw this.

Lin Fengmian walked to the bedside and gently placed his hand on Gan Luo's brow. This action was seen by Lü Zhu, who immediately stepped forward and said, "How dare you! How dare you touch the princess?"

Yu Zhu cleverly noticed that Gan Luo's brows relaxed simply because of Lin Fengmian's action.

Lin Fengmian turned his head and made a shushing gesture.

At this moment, inside the palace, Gan Yanling sat on the dragon throne, propping his head up with his hand, looking quite relaxed, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil.

"Your Majesty, the Prince Yu requests an audience."

With his eyes closed, he listened to the eunuch's report and couldn't help but wonder why the Prince wanted to see him again. What kind of trouble was he planning to cause this time?

"Let him in."

After Xin Ruyu entered, she respectfully bowed.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

Gan Yanling stood up, squinting as he carefully examined Xin Ruyu.

"What brings the Prince to the palace this time?"

"I would like to ask Your Majesty what the princess usually likes."

Huh? This guy actually asked him what his older sister liked?

"What does Your Highness mean by this? Does Your Highness intend to pursue my elder sister?"

Is this a case of someone who was rejected in their marriage proposal and then started pursuing her?

Upon hearing this, the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids all felt a pang of worry for the Prince.

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Since Your Majesty doesn't agree to my request to marry the princess, I think Your Majesty wouldn't mind if I pursued her."

Gan Yanling was speechless for a moment; this was truly a brilliant move.

However, as the ruler of a country, he knew all too well what the consequences would be if Gan Luo were caught by him.

Gan Yanling smiled slightly and spoke eloquently: "I know what my elder sister likes, but I won't tell you. Your Highness, please leave. Eunuch Lin, see the guest out."

Hmph, a toad trying to eat swan meat, what a pipe dream.

Xin Ruyu was unconvinced and decided to go to the princess's residence in person.

However, it's not good to go empty-handed on your first visit.

Suddenly remembering the jade and glass bracelet he had recently acquired, he thought it best to give it to Gan Luo.

Xinru ordered someone to pack it up and then personally walked to the outside of the princess's residence.

He looked at the gate of the princess's residence in front of him, walked to the gate, and gently knocked.

Inside the room, the guard heard a faint knocking sound and became suspicious.

Then, there was another knock on the door. When they opened it, they saw a man standing there.

"Who are you?"

"I am Xin Ruyu, and I have come to pay my respects to Your Highness the Princess."

This man was dressed in luxurious clothes, all in black robes with gold thread embroidery, and wearing a pair of purple-gold boots. He looked gentle and refined, and judging from the words "young scholar," could he be a scholar?

“This person does not appear to be an ordinary person. Go and report to the princess.”
