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

Chapter 22: Siblings Chatting

Gan Yanling was reviewing memorials in the palace.

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you!"

The Minister of Rites rushed to the Imperial Study.

"What's causing such a panic?"

Gan Yanling stopped writing and squinted at the Minister of Rites.

"Your Majesty! Do you know what I heard at the market today?"

For some reason, Gan Yanling had a bad feeling.

"Don't try to keep me in suspense here."

"Your Majesty, the Prince Yu wants to pursue the Eldest Princess."

It still became widely known!

Gan Yanling immediately stood up, his pupils dilating.

"What? She actually wants to pursue my sister?"

He suddenly realized that he might have been a little rude.

The Minister of Rites was somewhat shocked when he witnessed this scene.

"Your Majesty..."

"Ahem, I'm just a little surprised."

Pigsy still wants to pursue his sister? That's wishful thinking.

But now that this has caused such a stir in the city, what should we do?

He had already rejected Zhu Bajie's marriage proposal long before.

I never expected this guy would dare to pursue Gan Luo in front of so many people.

Gan Luo was extremely arrogant. What would his opinion be on this matter?

Gan Yanling stood up from his desk and glanced at the sky outside.

"Heading to the Princess's residence."

The Minister of Rites swallowed hard. Was His Majesty serious?

Upon arriving outside, the palanquin was already waiting at the entrance of the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, please."

The Minister of Rites, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject..."

Gan Yanling glanced at him and waved his hand.

"You can go back."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."

He cupped his hands in farewell and took his leave.

Gan Luo was leisurely eating grapes and admiring the flowers in the princess's residence.

"These flowers are all so beautiful... it's a pity they can't bloom forever."

Green Bamboo gently fanned Gan Luo with a peacock-patterned fan: "Princess, although it cannot bloom forever, I think that blooming for a short time still shows its value."

Suddenly, the shouts of eunuchs could be heard coming from outside the princess's residence.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Gan Luo's face turned cold. He stood up from the recliner and straightened his clothes.

"Are my clothes disheveled?"

This question was naturally directed at Lin Fengmian.

Lin Fengmian was stunned when he saw a leaf stuck in Gan Luo's hair.

The princess had snow-white skin, as smooth as jade. Today, she simply wore her hair in a bun, her long black hair cascading down her back. A peach blossom hairpin adorned her bun, which made her appear somewhat gentle.

"Princess……"

Lin Fengmian realized what was happening and immediately lowered his head.

What's wrong with him? How could he do that in front of Gan Luo...?

Gan Luo was a little surprised, realizing what he was thinking.

A hint of a smile would appear between her brows, fleeting but cleverly captured by Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo.

Did the princess just smile?

His Highness has a very handsome smile.

The two were stunned by the sight of the green and jade-like bamboo.

Suddenly, Lin Fengmian remembered that he hadn't mentioned the leaves on Gan Luo's head.

"Your Highness, there is a leaf on your head."

"Oh?" Gan Luo was about to reach out and remove the leaf himself, but then changed his mind and looked at Lin Fengmian. "You remove it for me."

Lin Fengmian looked at Gan Luo's face, and his heart skipped a beat. I consciously looked away.

Gan Luo, wanting to tease Lin Fengmian, was about to speak when...

Gan Yanling appeared before them without them even noticing.

Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo then respectfully greeted Gan Yanling.

"I have met His Majesty."

Gan Luo stopped himself from speaking just as the words were about to come out.

Unexpectedly, even her so-called younger brother showed up.

Lin Fengmian then remembered that he had just fetched leaves for Gan Luo and had not yet paid his respects to the emperor.

He was about to kneel down and pay his respects to the emperor.

Gan Luo immediately helped Lin Fengmian up.

"No need. I don't think my brother is the kind of person who gets caught up in such trivialities."

For a fleeting moment, Gan Yanling felt that Gan Luo was a bodyguard protecting her.

He did know something about this bodyguard, after all, she was the only one who could defeat her elder sister.

"Elder sister is right, I don't care."

Gan Yanling smiled. When Gan Luo saw Gan Yanling smile, he turned to look at Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo.

"Go to the kitchen and get some snacks."

They all went to the main hall together: "Brother, what brings you here today? Why did you come all the way to my palace without even announcing your arrival?"

He turned his attention to the people around him and first sent all the people around him away.

This action seems to suggest that Gan Luo will do the same.

Gan Luo noticed what he was thinking and found it quite amusing.

"Green Bamboo, Jade Bamboo, Lin Fengmian, the three of you may go down first."

"Yes, this servant will take his leave."

In the end, only Gan Luo and Gan Yanling remained in the hall.

Gan Luo picked up the teacup on the table, gently swirled it, looked down at the crystal-clear water in the cup, and then slowly spoke.

"What does Your Majesty wish to say now?"

"Your Majesty, what are your thoughts on the Prince's pursuit of you?"

When he asked this question, Gan Yanling was still a little worried, but he did not show it on the surface.

Upon hearing this, Gan Luo raised his eyes, glanced at Gan Yanling from head to toe, and gently placed the teacup on the table. Unexpectedly, the tea spilled out.

"I think the Prince is quite sincere."

Upon hearing this, Gan Yanling panicked for a moment. If Gan Luo married the Prince Yu, wouldn't his throne be in jeopardy?

Gan Luo noticed what Gan Yanling was thinking, and his expression changed in that instant.

Gan Yanling hurriedly asked again, "Elder sister, do you mean that if the Prince Yu continues like this, you will be willing to marry him?"

Gan Luo didn't like being controlled by others in everything, and he said a few words indifferently.

"It depends."

Gan Luo looked slightly tired and yawned softly.

"I am a little tired, Your Majesty, you may return now."

Gan Yanling was extremely worried. If Gan Luo and Gan Yanling were together, it would be a powerful alliance.

Regardless of Gan Yanling's strength, he could tell that he was extraordinary.

Even more importantly, his elder sister is worth two people! If the two of them were together, wouldn't there be a lot of city guards...?

After all, these people greatly admire martial prowess! Gan Luo is extremely powerful.

Even if Gan Luo couldn't beat him, there was still Lin Fengmian, right?

If the two of them work together, they can definitely...

"This is how to do?"

Gan Yanling was in a state of utter panic: "Elder sister, please rest well. I'll be leaving now."

"Walk slowly, don't send."

Gan Luo knew that Gan Yanling did not trust her, and was naturally disappointed.
