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

Chapter 19: Disdain?

"It's alright, I actually find this Prince Yu quite interesting."

Gan Luo smiled and stood up from the comfy chair.

"Princess, you..."

Green Bamboo couldn't help but think to herself, "The princess actually finds the Prince interesting? Could it be that she has taken a liking to him?"

Gan Luo suddenly heard her inner thoughts, reached out and gently tapped her head.

"What are you thinking about, you silly girl?"

Green Bamboo panicked and hurriedly explained, "No, I just think the princess is incredibly beautiful, and I'm wondering which gentleman she will marry in the future."

Then, Yuzhu couldn't help but say, "This servant thinks that the princess is of heavenly beauty, and if she is to marry a husband, he must be extraordinary."

Gan Luo thought the two maids were sharp-tongued and quite eloquent.

Lin Fengmian arrived in front of Gan Luo without anyone noticing.

Gan Luo looked up and met his gaze.

"Why did you come without saying a word?"

Lin Fengmian immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said, "Please punish me, Your Highness."

Gan Luo sighed, stood up, and personally helped Lin Fengmian to his feet.

"I did not mean to blame you."

Suddenly, I smelled a fragrance of flowers. Could it be that the lotus flowers in the courtyard have bloomed?

She took a step forward, and several people hurriedly followed behind her. They eventually reached a pavilion and stopped there.

Gan Luo turned his head and carefully examined Lin Fengmian, an idea forming in his mind.

"Green Bamboo, Jade Bamboo, you two go down first."

Upon hearing this, the two replied, "This servant will take her leave."

In the blink of an eye, only Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian remained in the pavilions and waterside terraces.

"I have something to ask you."

Seeing Gan Luo's serious expression, Lin Fengmian paused for a moment and said, "Princess, please speak."

"The Prince requests to marry me. What do you think?"

"I believe that the Prince is a spoiled brat and is not worthy of the princess."

Lin Fengmian spoke earnestly.

"This guy wants to marry the princess? He should take a good look at himself in the mirror."

Gan Luo couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Lin Fengmian was thinking.

"I don't think so."

Lin Fengmian was displeased. He raised his head and met the gazes of Gan Luo and the other man.

Is it getting angry?

"What does the princess think?"

"Your Highness is exceptionally handsome. Although he is somewhat of a playboy, he is still a good-looking man. I..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cracking sound was heard from the bones.

"Pfft, is he angry?" Seeing Lin Fengmian's gloomy face, Gan Luo couldn't help but want to pinch his cheek.

She took a folding fan from her waist and gently lifted Lin Fengmian's chin: "No matter how handsome this Prince Yu is, he can't compare to you by my side."

Lin Fengmian was taken aback, and it took her a while to react. Her ears turned slightly red: "Princess, what's wrong...?"

"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just complimenting your good looks."

Could a man be described as handsome? Lin Fengmian hesitated: "Thank you, Princess Meiyun."

Seeing his suspicious look, Gan Luo actually felt like bullying him.

"If you are not happy, you may say so. There is no need to force it. I grant you special privileges."

With a snap, it seemed as if a string in Lin Fengmian's heart had broken, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

Gan Luo walked up to Lin Fengmian. A faint floral fragrance wafted in the air. Looking at Gan Luo's stunning beauty, he was momentarily lost in thought and softly called out.

"Princess……"

The two were so close that they only needed to take one step to embrace each other.

Lin Fengmian couldn't help but take a step forward, but Gan Luo deliberately took a step back.

Lin Fengmian saw this and couldn't help but wonder if the princess disliked him.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

The princess is of noble birth, while he is merely a shadow guard, his life as insignificant as grass. How could he be worthy of the princess?
