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

Chapter 164: Matchmaking

Gan Luo saw Shangguan Mufeng and Xu Jiu without saying a word.

For a fleeting moment, she was slightly surprised, and for some reason, she felt that something was very wrong with them.

At this moment, Xu Jiu returned to the side hall, citing that he was a little tired.

Shangguan Mufeng saw Xu Jiu leave and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He looked up at Gan Luo, who felt that there seemed to be a distance between them.

"What happened between you and Xu Jiu? Why don't you tell me and I'll see if I can help you?"

"Xu Jiu's only reason for harboring resentment is that I was a male concubine in the princess's residence in the past."

So that's how it is. If that's the case, then what should Gan Luo do? He fell into deep thought at that moment.

After a moment of deep thought, Gan Luo told Shangguan Mufeng that he would find a way to get Xu Jiu to accept Shangguan Mufeng.

"Have you ever hated me? After all, if I hadn't made you my male favorite, I'm afraid Her Highness wouldn't have held any grudge against you."

"Being able to help Your Highness is a blessing I have accumulated over three lifetimes. Moreover, I have learned a great deal during my time here, and I am also delighted by the honor Your Highness bestows upon the Shangguan family."

From beginning to end, Shangguan Mufeng never hated Gan Luo.

More importantly, besides never hating him, there was also admiration, since Gan Luo's character was often different from what was rumored to be.

There were rumors that Gan Luo was ruthless and heartless, but after spending time with him, it became clear that this was not the case; it was all just hearsay.

In the Prince Yu's mansion, Xin Ruyu naturally knew that Xu Jiu would be staying in the capital for a period of time. At this moment, Xin Ruyu made a decision: to assassinate Xu Jiu. If Xu Jiu died in the capital, it would surely arouse the anger of neighboring countries.

More importantly, it seems that Gan Luo has acquired another male favorite in his household. This male favorite is the very one that the envoy from the neighboring country has been eyeing. He is an exceptionally handsome man, arguably the most beautiful man in the world, and even Lin Fengmian's appearance seems to pale in comparison.

Xin Ruyu had already ordered a sedan chair to be prepared before he decided to go to the Princess's residence. When he arrived, he was surprised to find that the Princess's residence was wide open.

The steward was slightly surprised to see Xin Ruyu arrive and hurriedly informed Gan Luo. Gan Luo said that since he was already there, he should make the best of it. Xin Ruyu walked in and greeted Gan Luo, who just glanced at him and nodded slightly.

However, at this moment, he discovered Shangguan Mufeng and was shocked. Why would Shangguan Mufeng be staying in the princess's residence?

"Is my timing a bit inappropriate, and have I disturbed Her Highness's good time?"

When Gan Luo heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. How could he find this person's words so ridiculous? More importantly, Xin Ruyu actually looked like a resentful woman. Lin Fengmian walked up to Gan Luo and said, "What are you saying? How dare you disrespect Her Highness the Princess?"

Unexpectedly, when Lin Fengmian said that, Xin Ruyu retorted, "Did he say something harsh? It was just a teasing remark."

Xin Ruyu's clothes were not those of a young master from a noble family; he didn't look like a guard at all. Gan Luo was truly good to Lin Fengmian.

"Her Highness is so kind to her guards that she would use such fine gold silk thread to make clothes for them here."

Gan Luo was very displeased to hear Xin Ruyu say such things.

"What I use to clothe my mind is my prerogative. Does Your Highness intend to interfere in my affairs? I remember why Your Highness has come here..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xin Ruyu said again, "I just wanted to see the princess's new male favorite. I wonder where this male favorite is now? I've heard that he is known as the most handsome man in the world."

Gan Luo used his mind-reading ability to check what Xin Ruyu was thinking. He never expected that Xin Ruyu would be jealous. Did Xin Ruyu really like her? Gan Luo found it somewhat ironic.

Hearing that Gan Luo was defending him, Lin Fengmian felt very happy. He secretly made up his mind that no matter what his status was, as long as he could stay by Gan Luo's side, it would all be worth it.

Even if he could only be a lowly guard in this lifetime, it would be enough for Lin Fengmian. However, Lin Fengmian really disliked what the prince had said.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Gan Luo's newly acquired male concubines naturally came out from the inner room. One of them had a very alluring figure, and more importantly, he even carried a faint floral fragrance.

This man can only be described as a demon. He has peach blossom eyes, and more importantly, his pupils are heterochromatic.

"I've seen Your Highness before, but I didn't know Your Highness wanted to see me. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Gan Luo walked up to Lou Yan, her face cold as she looked at Xin Ruyu. "Why did you come out?"

"Just now, I heard the commotion outside from this room, and I also heard the prince say that he wanted to see me. I was afraid that the prince would make things difficult for Your Highness, so I came out. Please don't be angry, Your Highness."

Gan Luo smiled and placed his hand on Lou Yan's shoulder: "How could I possibly be angry when you are so handsome? Even if I were angry, seeing your face would make me not angry anymore."

Gan Luo then turned to look at Xin Ruyu and questioned him, "I wonder if Your Highness is satisfied with what you've seen? If so, Your Highness may return now. I, on the other hand, would like to spend some time here cultivating a relationship with my new male favorite."

Listening to what Gan Luo was saying, Xin Ruyu felt quite uncomfortable. Gan Luo, a woman, was keeping male lovers here.

Gan Luo saw what Xin Ruyu was thinking. If he found it funny, people in this world say that men can have three wives and four concubines, so why can't women have multiple husbands?

"you……"

At this moment, Xin Ruyu was unsure how to continue his conversation with Gan Luo and the other man. Xin Ruyu cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "Your Highness, I was in the wrong today. I hope Your Highness will forgive me..."
