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

Chapter 201: Despise of Betrayal

Gan Luo noticed a hint of melancholy in Lou Yan's eyes out of the corner of his eye, but he ignored it.

After all, Lou Yan chose this path, and he has to bear the consequences eventually, doesn't he? Moreover, Lou Yan is on the Prime Minister's side, and Gan Luo hates nothing more than someone betraying her here.

Xin Ruyu naturally also learned that the emperor had married the princess of the neighboring country and had made her a concubine.

At this moment, Xin Ruyu couldn't understand what kind of trouble the emperor was up to. After thinking it over for a while, the emperor decided to go to the palace in person to offer his congratulations.

Xin Ruyu then arrived at the palace, where the emperor was discussing matters in the imperial study.

The eunuch announced Xin Ruyu's arrival, but the emperor told Xin Ruyu to wait outside. After the discussion was over and the officials left, Gan Yanling received him there.

At this moment, Gan Yanling really wanted to know Xin Ruyu's purpose in coming here. As soon as Xin Ruyu arrived, he cheered.

Then he took out the things he wanted to present to the emperor. When the emperor saw all these things behind him, he frowned, not expecting there to be so many.

"This is Your Majesty's first time taking a concubine. This is a congratulatory gift from your humble servant. I wonder if Your Majesty will like it?"

Gan Yanling glanced at them briefly, said he liked them, and then had the eunuchs take the items away.

"His Majesty has already taken in concubines, but Princess still has no one to accompany her."

Before Xin Ruyu could finish speaking, Gan Yanling spoke again. "If Huang Jie has someone she likes, she will naturally tell me, and I will naturally bestow a marriage upon her. There is no need for Your Highness to worry about this matter. Moreover, I have already informed Your Highness before. Do not try to take advantage of the princess."

As far as Gan Yanling was concerned, Xin Ruyu was not good enough for Gan Luo, and neither was the son of the Grand Tutor.

Xin Ruyu never expected to fail in his marriage proposal again. He thought he would succeed, but in the end, he still failed.

His eyes were very dim, but he had already made up his mind.

Xin Ruyu believed that he would definitely be able to marry Gan Luo.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. It's just that, in my opinion, the princess is already of age, and if she continues to age..."

At this moment, Gan Yanling's face was terribly gloomy. He raised his head and looked at Xin Ruyu. "Even if the princess is of age, how can she work? If she doesn't have someone she likes, then I will naturally not bestow a marriage upon her. Moreover, the princess is my elder sister. Even if the princess doesn't marry, I am willing to support her for the rest of her life."

Although Gan Yanling was wary of Gan Luo, it didn't mean he would allow others to speak ill of her. Gan Luo was also his elder sister, and the two were related by blood.

The rumors say that Gan Yanling and Gan Luo had some conflict, specifically about Gan Yanling taking a princess from a neighboring country into his harem. They supposedly had a big argument, but now it seems like nothing happened at all.

"What Your Majesty says makes a lot of sense. I was narrow-minded."

Inside the princess's residence, Gan Luo learned that Xin Ruyu had entered the palace, and more importantly, Gan Luo Yanyuan was mentioned once again.

"I never expected that Your Highness would be so concerned about my marriage. Doesn't Your Highness even care about your own marriage?"

Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo, however, were mocking Xin Ruyu from the side.

This indicates that Xin Ruyu was not worthy of marrying Gan Luo at all.

For the two of them, anyone who could stand beside Gan Luo was someone as powerful as Gan Luo, but Xin Ruyu was not even as strong as Gan Luo, and more importantly, Xin Ruyu couldn't even beat Gan Luo.

If word got out that a man couldn't beat a woman, wouldn't he be laughed out of the house?

Gan Luo was of noble status and held great power. If someone did not stand at the same level as Gan Luo, they would naturally feel inferior.

Seeing these two little ones flattering her, Gan Luo couldn't help but reach out and tap them on the head. "You two really like to say nice things about me in front of me."

"Look at what you're saying. Everything we've said is true. Besides, in our hearts, Your Highness is a very capable person, and Green Bamboo and I admire Your Highness very much."

If Ganluo hadn't been a woman, they probably would have both wanted to get married. Unfortunately, Ganluo was a woman, so they couldn't get married.

"I wish to visit Xin Ruyu at the Prince Yu's residence."

They heard that Gan Luo was going to the Imperial Palace, and they all asked her if she was serious. Gan Luo told them that she had made up her mind.

Gan Luo turned and glanced at Lin Fengmian, then told Lin Fengmian to change into the new clothes Gan Luo had given him, which Lin Fengmian did.

In a short while, Lin Fengmian emerged wearing the clothes Gan Luoxin had given him. Lin Fengmian was dressed in white, with lotus flowers embroidered on the clothes and gold trim at the cuffs, which added a touch of luxury to the outfit.

Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo couldn't help but tease Lin Fengmian.

"If Guard Lin didn't say he was a guard, everyone would definitely think he was a scion of a noble family or even a prince or nobleman."

After all, this innate aura can't be changed, can it?

Gan Luo listened and found that what Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo said made a lot of sense.

Gan Luo turned his gaze to Lin Fengmian. Lin Fengmian suddenly noticed Gan Luo's gaze and naturally felt a little flustered for a moment. In fact, being stared at by Gan Luo like that made Lin Fengmian a little embarrassed.

As he watched, Gan Luo burst out laughing.

The maids and servants around them were in a state of shock. They never expected that Gan Luo would laugh at them. Some of them even pinched their arms and felt the pain before realizing that Gan Luo had indeed laughed.

They were able to witness Gan Luo laughing heartily instead of sneering in their lifetime, as if in a dream.

"The princess can actually laugh! The ice queen's smile is real, it melts my heart."

Gan Luo turned his head and glanced at the maid. The maid immediately lowered her head when Gan Luo looked at her.

"Does the Empress rarely smile?"

"His Highness just rarely smiles in front of so many people."

It seemed that Gan Luo had been staring at Lin Fengmian so intently that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
