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

Chapter 26: Refusal

"invitation?"

Gan Luo murmured, glancing down at the invitation in the servant's hand.

Green Bamboo naturally took the invitation from the servant and handed it to Gan Luo.

Gently open the invitation and you'll see what's written in black and white on the white paper.

Gan Luo made a sarcastic remark.

"I never expected that I would be invited to the Prime Minister's residence to participate in the poetry competition. Ha, do you think I'm so easy to invite?"

Gan Luo turned around, threw the invitation on the ground, and sat down on the chaise longue.

She leisurely ate grapes here, admiring the beautiful flowers blooming in front of her.

The servant stood there, his forehead covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.

This princess is truly a devil! This is just too terrifying.

Sensing what the servant was thinking, Gan Luo walked up to him.

The servant didn't even notice, and when he looked up, he knelt down with a thud.

The servant was extremely flustered.

"Your Highness..."

"Do I look like I'm going to eat people?"

Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, the servant hurriedly denied them.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? How could a princess possibly eat people?"

A slight smile played on Gan Luo's lips; he was already tired of hearing such flattering words.

Although Gan Luo was smiling, the servant felt that Gan Luo was like a demon who had crawled out of the eighteenth level of hell.

For the first time, I realized how terrifying it is for someone to laugh, as if they were a smiling tiger.

"Go back and tell your young lady that I am the eldest princess, of high status. For me to be invited with just an invitation is far too..."

The servant suddenly understood.

The princess's intention was simple: she wanted Xu Jinxin to personally invite Gan Luo to the Prime Minister's residence.

It has to be said that this princess is really difficult to serve.

But upon closer reflection, she was the emperor's elder sister. If it were him, wouldn't he be just as arrogant?

Then I thought about it again. Although this was the first time I had seen this princess, her aura was in no way inferior to that of a man.

No wonder even the reigning emperor had to show him deference.

"This servant will go back and report to Miss immediately."

He performed a farewell ceremony there and hurriedly ran away.

Seeing the servant running so hastily, almost falling to the ground.

Gan Luo found it amusing at that moment.

Gan Luo stared blankly in the direction the servant had just gone.

She was brought back to her senses by Yu Zhu's call.

"Princess, why are you staring in the direction that servant went? Could it be that you...?"

"I just find it funny how this servant is afraid of me."

Then they turned their attention to green bamboo and jade bamboo.

"I have a question for you. Am I that scary?"

This seemingly random question prompted both Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo to answer Gan Luo in unison.

"Your Highness is not scary at all! Your Highness is very kind!"

The person who said this was Green Bamboo.

Before Green Bamboo could react, Gan Luo was already beside her.

"Where do you think my kindness is shown? It's common knowledge that I kill without blinking an eye."

I never expected this little girl to say she was kind.

Although Green Bamboo was indeed frightened at first, she has now calmed down.

“I have followed the princess for so long, and even if I cannot fully understand her, I know that she is not a heartless person.”

Gan Luo remained silent, his back to the green bamboo.

No one knows what Gan Luo was thinking.

When the male protagonist saw Gan Luo's figure, he felt a faint pain in his heart for a moment.

For some reason, I felt a sense of loneliness about Gan Luo at that moment.

A fragrance of flowers drifted over from somewhere, and Gan Luo unconsciously walked forward.

In an instant, Gan Luo arrived at a place where hundreds of flowers were in full bloom.

A hundred flowers blooming in abundance is truly wonderful.

The people behind him didn't dare to disturb Gan Luo, and just stood silently behind him.

Because none of them could guess Gan Luo's thoughts.

At this moment, Xin Ruyu and his strategist were strolling through the market.

"Your Highness, I don't quite understand your actions."

Upon hearing the strategist's words, Xin Ruyu was somewhat puzzled.

Xin Ruyu looked around at the scene and had to admit that the capital was indeed incredibly prosperous and the people lived in peace and contentment.

"Is there anything you don't understand?"

The strategist initially thought that Xin Ruyu was unwilling to speak.

"Your Highness, I don't understand why you're pursuing the princess now. She's clearly capricious and quite skilled in martial arts. If you're not careful, wouldn't you be..."

The strategist didn't continue speaking because his words were somewhat inappropriate.

"Are you afraid that I will displease the princess and cause her to kill me?"

"While I do have such thoughts, I feel that Your Majesty's pursuit of the princess these past few days has been a bit too much..."

He sighed silently in his heart.

It's like trying to get a warm face by pressing a cold backside—the more you press, the colder it gets.

"I have my reasons for doing this, you don't need to overthink it."

"Your Highness, do you mean you want the princess to see your perseverance?"

Xin Ruyu turned to look at the strategist, who was smiling broadly. Because Xin Ruyu had fox-like eyes, his smile seemed to hide a knife.

"Everything I have done is not only for the princess to see, but also to let the whole world see how sincere I am for the princess."

Although Xin Ruyu does like Gan Luo, that's another matter.

Although they were confused by what they heard, the strategist clearly understood that their prince was definitely not a fool!

"It's getting late, come back with me."

As he turned his head, Xin Ruyu carefully concealed the gloom in his eyes.

However, it is indeed quite difficult to win the princess's hand in marriage.

After all, his martial arts skills were not as high as Gan Luo's, and he would never have been able to defeat him by force.

If this is the case, we cannot defeat Gan Luo.

Then, we can only rely on these other methods.

There was a saying that circulated a long time ago.

"Whoever wins over the eldest princess will win the world!"

However, this passage only circulated for a short period of time.

Later, however, it was suppressed by someone.

Oh well, it's all in the past.

"Although I have never met the Eldest Princess, I have heard rumors that she is extremely ruthless. Is that true?"

"Extremely ruthless?"

Xin Ruyu's eyes were smiling. If you wanted to describe her as fierce, you might as well say she was like a cat with its fur standing on end, making you want to conquer her.

I don't know what the Grand Tutor's son is thinking, that he would look down on the princess. He must be blind.
