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

The next morning, Zhou Jin packed up and did not go directly to the old lady's yard. Instead, he took a detour and came to Gu Xiling's yard.

Xiulan saw the prince coming in and smiled secretly, "Madam, the prince is here."

Gu Xiling blinked playfully and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"See? The prince has changed. If it weren't for what happened last night, would the prince come to pick me up in person to pay my respects to the old lady?"

Xiulan shook her head. Whether in the Changning Marquis' Mansion or during the time he lived on the farm, the Prince had never acted like this.

Before Zhou Jin entered the room, he laughed heartily, "Madam, did you sleep well?"

Gu Xiling smiled and turned to look at the door, "Da'an is very beautiful, how about the prince's bedroom?"

"What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. Last night I dreamed of my wife." Zhou Jin came in and spoke sweet words.

Of course, he was telling the truth.

Being with my wife in my dream is such a sweet feeling that I cannot tell anyone else!

Gu Xiling was in a good mood after hearing the sweet talk early in the morning. She teased Zhou Jin on purpose, "Then I didn't dream about the prince last night. It must be because the prince is not good enough. Prince, you still need to work hard."

"That's right, madam." Zhou Jin was slightly annoyed. Seeing the maid drawing eyebrows for Gu Xiling, he walked over and said, "Can I draw eyebrows for you, madam?"

Gu Xiling looked suspicious, "I have done a delicate makeup today, except for my eyebrows. What if the prince messes it up?"

Being questioned by Gu Xiling, Zhou Jin was not convinced, "I am a master of painting, it's just a simple eyebrow painting, it's easy for me."

After saying that, Zhou Jin took the ink from the maid, bent down, and drew eyebrows for Gu Xiling.

Zhou Jin's hands were slender, warm and dry.

Gu Xiling felt very comfortable with her fingertips touching her face and closed her eyes slightly.

Zhou Jin looked at Gu Xiling, whose pretty features were bright and pretty, who was right in front of him. They could feel each other's breath.

He lightly drew the eyebrows. Gu Xiling had a good eyebrow shape, so he just needed to lightly blend the black ink.

Zhou Jin felt that the difficulty was too low and could not show the prowess of a master painter.

So she used peach pink and pink to draw a lotus-shaped flower ornament between Gu Xiling's eyebrows.

Today, Gu Xiling was wearing a light green skirt with a green gauze on the outside, and she looked graceful and elegant. With the lotus hairpin on her forehead, she looked like a virtuous and graceful lotus in the water.

If there wasn't someone else next to him, Zhou Jin really wanted to kiss Gu Xiling's cherry lips.

"Madam, please look." Zhou Jin looked away. He could no longer stare at Gu Xiling. He was about to lose control.

Gu Xiling looked at herself in the mirror carefully, her eyes showing surprise. She shook her head slightly, adjusted the angle, and looked in the mirror, "The prince is really good at painting. He draws eyebrows well and also draws flowers well."

Zhou Jin was proud, "Of course! 'After putting on makeup, I whispered to my husband, how deep or shallow is the eyebrow painting?' When reading this poem, I believe many people imagine a harmonious and sweet future with their wives."

Gu Xiling couldn't help but smile as she looked at Zhou Jin, who was in high spirits and had a funny personality.

It turns out that a man can change so much for the person he loves.

"Then my lord, please don't let me lament 'The eyebrow painter is gone but the building is empty, the makeup on my face is already red when I look in the mirror'."

Zhou Jin's heart trembled slightly, his eyes full of tenderness, "Okay, I will draw your eyebrows every day from now on!"

"No!" Gu Xiling refused without hesitation, "You're going to court too early. I don't want to be woken up by you to draw my eyebrows at four o'clock in the morning."

"Haha!" Zhou Jin chuckled, "I won't have to go to court every day when I compile agricultural books."

Zhou Jin and Gu Xiling came together to pay their respects to the old lady.

The old lady in the main courtyard was very happy to see that her grandson and his wife did not come to pay their respects as early as usual.

I hurriedly asked someone to find out whether the marriage had been consummated.

When the servant came to report, the old lady was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

It seems that she really underestimated Gu Xiling. This girl is really not simple.

Now, I not only win my husband's heart, but also use my actions to make him understand that husband and wife love each other, and they should not act recklessly, but should cherish each other while they are together.

However, this is fine.

If it were her, she would do the same, perhaps with more methods.

Seeing the two of them come in, their relationship was even better than yesterday. The old lady was completely relieved that her grandson did not get angry because Gu Xiling refused to let him in.

From now on, I can safely leave this grandson to Gu Xiling.

"Grandma, Xiling and I will go back in a few days and bring you the agricultural books that we compiled on the farm. We will come to accompany you."

The old lady waved her hand, "You don't need to accompany me. I'll have someone record the crops in our fields to ensure there are no mistakes."

"Jin'er, you should focus on your work. Xiling, I'll leave Jin'er to you. This child doesn't take care of herself when she's busy."

Gu Xiling nodded and agreed, "Grandmother, don't worry. If the prince doesn't take care of his body, my granddaughter-in-law will definitely not agree."

"Okay!" The old lady said with a smile, "Let's go and have breakfast together."

The breakfast was rich and the old lady was in a good mood, eating with relish.

Now the old lady not only has a good appetite, but also becomes plumper and more energetic because she walks back and forth twice a day.

Now that she is in a good mood again, the old lady looks beautiful in every way.

Zhou Jin and Gu Xiling got on the carriage and returned to the city.

"Xi Ling, I'll go directly to the Sinong Division, you go back home first." Zhou Jin saw that it was getting late and there was no time to send Gu Xiling home before going to the Sinong Division.

Gu Xiling nodded and chuckled, "My husband, the task assigned by His Majesty is important. When it comes to editing books, do more and talk less. My son, please remember this. This is also what my grandmother told me to tell you."

Zhou Jin nodded, "After going through a few things, it's better to do well than to say well."

Gu Xiling shook her head, "No, if you can do it well and speak well, that would be better."

Zhou Jin laughed dumbly, "Madam, you are right."

Zhou Jin no longer called her "Ms. Gu". He either called Gu Xiling by her name or "Madam".

What about Gu Xiling? He is still the prince!

At most, in front of elders, she would sometimes need to pretend and call him "husband", but when she was alone with Zhou Jin, she never called him "husband".

Only when they have their wedding night will Zhou Jin be qualified to become her husband.

Zhou Jin rode away on horseback.

Looking at Zhou Jin's handsome demeanor when he was riding a horse, Gu Xiling could vaguely imagine how high-spirited Zhou Jin must have been when he was chosen as the third place in the imperial examination and rode his horse through the streets, reciting the lines "The spring breeze is blowing, the horse's hooves are galloping, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."

But the officialdom is not an examination hall. It is far more profound than the words in books and more complicated, changeable, and even dark and cruel than test questions.

Although Zhou Jin's idealistic ideas were not incompatible with the court of the Kang Dynasty, they were far from it.

At this time, being a good official does not mean you can be a good official just by writing good articles.

You can't become a general just because you are good at martial arts and know the art of war.

It is not the case that having great achievements can ensure one's life is long and fulfilling.

There will be more challenges.

If you want to be a good person, you have to be better than the bad guys, or at least have the ability to make the bad guys afraid and jealous.

If you want to be a good official, you must be more powerful and more smooth than corrupt and bad officials. Only then can you defeat them and have the opportunity to work for the people.

The hardships involved are extremely difficult.

What Zhou Jin thought in his heart was also what Gu Xiling wished.

This is what Gu Xiling is willing to plan for Zhou Jin, to change together, to achieve themselves, to protect more people, and to benefit more people.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiling's eyes showed determination, and she was as high-spirited as Zhou Jin.
