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

Chapter 16: He Wants to Marry Me?

Deputy General Lu was no pushover either; he had killed people before. However, when he fought Lin Fengmian, the feeling was indeed different. The opponent was like an elusive wind, penetrating everywhere.

In the end, he was indeed no match for Lin Fengmian.

"I surrender."

Deputy General Lu didn't want to get injured, otherwise he would lose all face in front of the Princess.

Lin Fengmian stopped quickly as well.

After the martial arts competition came to an end, Gan Luo led everyone on a hunting trip, with Yuan Zheng and Lin Fengmian following along.

Yuan Zheng initially looked down on Lin Fengmian, but after the martial arts competition, he changed his attitude: "I didn't expect your martial arts to be so high. You have lived up to the name of the Shadow Guard Camp."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"The princess treated you badly before, you don't hold a grudge, do you?"

Because of Zhao Wuji, Gan Luo often lost his temper with Lin Fengmian.

Gan Luo, who was in front, also pricked up her ears, listening to Lin Fengmian's inner thoughts.

“Guard Yuan Zheng, how could you assume such a thing about me? From the moment I arrived at the Princess’s residence, my life belonged to the Princess. I would not complain no matter what she wanted to do.”

Could Yuan Zheng be asking this to test his loyalty? Or has he already been bribed by the emperor, and is this a test of his attitude?

Yuan Zheng was unaware that his whim had led Lin Fengmian to think so much about him. He was a man bestowed upon the eldest princess by the late emperor, and his loyalty was beyond question.

Gan Luo's lips curled up. His two guards were quite interesting, especially the contrast between their serious expressions and the sandstorm raging inside them. It was really hilarious.

Jiang Yu rushed to the city guards, only to be informed that the Princess had gone hunting in the forest. He dared not go in and could only wait outside, hoping that the Emperor would wait for him to return.

By the time Gan Luo came out carrying two rabbits, it was already dusk: "Jiang Yu, why aren't you waiting by the Emperor's side? What are you doing here?"

"Princess, His Majesty urgently summons you. Please come to the palace immediately."

It's most likely related to Xin Ruyu, but judging from Jiang Yu's expression, the two of them must have already met.

"I'll change my clothes and then go. You go back first."

"This old servant will wait for Your Highness." Jiang Yu was afraid that if he turned around, the princess would disappear again, and where would he find her then?

Gan Luo didn't even turn his head: "You won't be able to keep up with me when I ride a horse."

.......

In the palace, Gan Yanling, after meeting with Xin Ruyu, still couldn't concentrate on the memorials. Jiang Yu hadn't returned yet, and he had no one to talk to. Although he had rejected Xin Ruyu's proposal to marry his elder sister, he couldn't stop her if she agreed herself. What should he do?

Just as he was feeling extremely distressed, Jiang Yu brought Gan Luo in.

"What's wrong? You look so worried."

Gan Luo, adorned with a set of white jade jewelry and a white embroidered wide-sleeved dress, resembled a celestial maiden, appearing somewhat out of place in this magnificent palace.

Gan Yanling finally found her backer and almost cried tears of joy: "Royal sister, you've finally arrived! Why did that servant Jiang Yu take so long? He's such a useless wretch."

The river fish was so frightened that it knelt down tremblingly.

"It's not his fault. I went to the city guard camp today, and he couldn't get into the hunting woods, so he waited outside until dark."

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief; everything was alright now that the princess had spoken up for him.

As expected, Gan Yanling stopped pressing the matter and took Gan Luo's hand, leading her into the inner room: "I suppose my elder sister also knows that Xin Ruyu has come to the capital. He came to see me just now and actually asked to marry my elder sister. I refused without even thinking about it."

"He wants to marry me?"
