Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

The old lady of Marquis Changning looked at the little girl sitting on the couch, shaking her arm in a naive manner, and there was a hint of smile in her eyes.

She once hoped to have a sweet and soft granddaughter who would pull her long sleeves to ask for candy, but her wish never came true.

Unexpectedly, her granddaughter-in-law made her wish come true!

"The Changning Marquisate is managed by your mother-in-law, and will be handed over to you in the future. I am old, and besides practicing Buddhism, I wonder if there is anything more important that I can do for you?"

Gu Xiling retorted, "Grandma is not old, she can live to be a hundred years old!"

The old lady shook her head and laughed, "You and I have only been together for a few days, and I have already seen that you have a clever mouth that is used to coaxing people, and you just want to make me happy!"

Gu Xiling refused and pretended to be cute and naive, continuing to shake the sleeves of the old lady of the Marquis of Changning, "Grandmother, you know the prince's temper best. I was able to pull the prince out of the vortex of the court this time, but I may not be able to do it next time."

"It wasn't my granddaughter-in-law who complained. When the prince found out that I had Lai Fu 'kidnap' him from the palace, he was furious and wanted to beat me."

The old lady patted Gu Xiling's slender hand and smiled, "You also said it, my grandson, I understand. You are doing it for his own good, even if it is wrong, he will not hit you, let alone it is right. Although I am old, I am not senile. You, girl, can't deceive me."

At this moment, the old lady of Changning Marquis had a cunning look in her eyes, and was as mischievous as a naughty child.

Gu Xiling pretended to be embarrassed and annoyed, and continued to shake the old lady's arm, saying angrily: "Grandma, my granddaughter-in-law can't hide anything from you. In this case, I will tell the truth, and please don't laugh at my granddaughter-in-law for being shameless."

"Okay, okay! Don't laugh at me!" The old lady was dizzy from being shaken by Gu Xiling. "In this room, only heaven and earth know about it, and only you and I know about it. It will never be spread to other ears."

Gu Xiling then stopped, her pretty face slightly reddened, "Grandmother, I'm sure you've learned from Nanny Yuan that Xiling and the prince are husband and wife in name only, not in reality."

"Although the prince and I are already husband and wife, we are not in love with each other. If you don't mediate, I'm afraid the prince and I will drift apart."

"Besides, don't you want to see your chubby great-grandson secretly carrying your cane to play? Don't you want to see your sweet and soft great-granddaughter begging you for cakes and pastries?"

When she heard this, the old lady was startled and squinted her eyes slightly. She imagined in her mind a chubby, sweet and soft baby jumping from the New Year picture into her arms, vying to call her great-grandmother.

Just thinking about it makes me happy!

The old lady looked at Gu Xiling, who had skin as white as cream and a sweet smile and beautiful eyes. With Gu Xiling's intelligence and beauty, her grandson would be "eaten up" sooner or later.

It’s just that this “sooner or later” can be long or short!

At her age, if she can still see the birth of her great-grandchildren, she can show off to that rough old man who died young and had no luck in the afterlife.

The old lady is a very sincere and pure person, and she acts with courage and determination.

In addition, the blessed Gu Xiling has already married into the Changning Marquis Mansion. She will surely bless Jin'er with good health and no worries.

She immediately ordered her servants to pack their luggage and set off for Beijing early the next morning.

Seeing his grandmother in high spirits and walking briskly to say goodbye to Master Yuan Hui, Zhou Jin was stunned and couldn't believe it.

Gu Xiling watched the old lady leave the yard, then turned her head to look at Zhou Jin who was in a daze, "My Lord, how did Xiling help you?"

Zhou Jin's beautiful narrow eyes were full of suspicion, "Gu, what did you tell grandma?"

He tried his best to persuade his grandmother, but failed to change her mind and go back home with him.

But Gu Xiling entered the meditation room in less than a moment, and her grandmother changed her mind. She couldn't wait to say goodbye to Master Yuanhui and return to Changning Marquis' Mansion the next day.

Gu Xiling had teeth like gourds, delicate eyebrows, bright eyes and white teeth. She smiled slyly, "It's a secret, you can't tell me!"

She laughed sweetly, her voice clear as a silver bell, and turned back to the meditation room opposite.

"You..." Zhou Jin's eyes were like torches. He pursed his lips slightly and took slight steps, wanting to chase after her. However, he stopped in his tracks because of Gu Xiling's laughter and smug and cunning expression.

If you don't tell him, he won't listen.

Anyway, he wouldn't ask again. It would be so embarrassing to be at a disadvantage!

When Zhou Jin returned to the meditation room at night, he was distracted and restless.

Zhou Jin didn't even have an appetite and ate less than half of his usual dinner amount.

Under the dim oil lamp, Lai Fu saw that the prince had the Buddhist scriptures upside down in his hands, but was still pretending to read them, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

As a servant who grew up with the prince, Lai Fu witnessed the whole process and of course knew the prince's anxiety.

"Sir, I am quite familiar with Miss Xiulan who is by your wife's side. How about I ask Miss Xiulan?"

Zhou Jin was startled, feeling annoyed that someone had seen through his thoughts. "No need, I don't want to know."

Lai Fu did not answer, his eyes fell on the upside-down Buddhist scriptures in the prince's hand.

Zhou Jin followed Lai Fu's gaze and looked at the Buddhist scriptures in his hand. He suddenly looked embarrassed and quickly threw the scriptures on the table, with his hands behind his back, not knowing where to put them.

But he is the master and can change his mind at any time. "It's not that I can't ask."

He was definitely not curious, he just wanted to know himself and the enemy to ensure victory in every battle.

"Yes!" Lai Fu agreed, trying hard to suppress his smile.

Fortunately, the young master's instructions were exactly what he wanted, so he could talk to Sister Xiulan openly.

He is one year older than the prince!

The prince is married, but he is not.

If you haven’t been interested before, don’t be anxious.

Now that he has encountered the opportunity, he cannot delay. If someone else gets there first, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Lai Fu asked for a nine-layer cake from Xiangji Kitchen in advance and came to find Xiulan.

Xiulan happened to come out with a copper basin. Seeing Lai Fu, she smiled and said, "Brother Lai Fu, it's so late, why don't you rest?"

Lai Fu took the copper basin from Xiulan with one hand and handed over the snack with the other. His chubby face smiled like a thinner Maitreya Buddha. "Xiulan, I'll give you a taste of the famous nine-layer cake from Jinguang Temple."

Xiulan was surprised. Nine-layer cake is the signature snack of Jinguang Temple and can only be eaten on the first and fifteenth day of a month. "Brother Laifu, how did you get the nine-layer cake today?"

Lai Fu smiled proudly, "I once helped the chef here, and he made it specially for me."

"Brother Lai Fu is so awesome." Xiulan praised, her pretty face turning red with excitement.

After Miss Xiling married into the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, Xiuzhu was busy making arrangements and building connections in order to prepare for becoming a concubine in the future.

But Xiulan didn't want to be a concubine. She had just entered Jingyang Marquis's mansion and served a concubine who died two times. She was scared to death.

She didn't want to leave the house either, as life outside was too difficult. After much thought, she decided that it would be nice to find a decent and capable servant in the Marquis's mansion and marry him.

Although Xiulan felt that Lai Fu was not handsome, he looked festive, spoke nicely and was very tactful. He was also the prince's close attendant, so he had a bright future.

Lai Fu was happy and excited when he saw Xiulan's shy expression. It seemed that he was interested in her, but Xiulan was not heartless.

He poured out the water in the copper basin. The moon was above the willows, and they made an appointment after dusk.

Xiulan and Lai Fu ate snacks while whispering to each other, talking about each other's life stories and past.

Coincidentally, both of them were sold into slavery by their families at the age of five, and they have had no contact over the years.

There is a sense of sympathy and mutual respect.

As for the prince's instructions, Lai Fu had long forgotten them!
