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

Chapter 147: Meeting

When Shangguan Mufeng returned, he naturally came to see Gan Luo.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Mufeng stayed there for three hours before finally meeting Gan Luo.

But for Shangguan Mufeng, it was already worth it.

Shangguan Mufeng looked at Gan Luo, his eyes filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"After a month apart, Young Master Shangguan is indeed different from before."

Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, Shangguan Mufeng simply smiled calmly.

"Has Young Master Shangguan learned anything in the past month?"

Shangguan Mufeng didn't know how to answer Gan Luo, but he still talked to Gan Luo about it.

Gan Luo recalled that there might be an evening gathering at the market tonight.

Gan Luo looked up at Lin Fengmian, who understood immediately.

For a moment, Shangguan Mufeng was puzzled, wondering what Gan Luo's intentions were.

"I wanted to tell you that there is a banquet tonight. I wonder if Young Master Shangguan would like to attend?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Mufeng naturally told Gan Luo that he was willing.

Soon they arrived, and Xu Jiu also came here that evening. Xu Jiu was particularly eager to know Gan Luo's purpose in sending him here. Xu Jiu stood on the bridge, quietly waiting for Gan Luo's return.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw a young man dressed in white, holding a folding fan. The white clothes were embroidered with lotus flowers, which Xu Jiu found quite pleasing.

Xu Jiu wanted to go up and strike up a conversation, but then she thought that she was just a young lady, and it would be inappropriate to go up there so rashly. In the end, Xu Jiu just stood there.

The moment Shangguan Mufeng saw Xu Jiu, he couldn't help but linger for a while. Who was this girl? She was as beautiful as a celestial being.

More importantly, the girl's aura was surprisingly attractive to Shangguan Mufeng.

Shangguan Mufeng decided to strike up a conversation with this young lady.

However, how to strike up a conversation with this young lady is a difficult question, while the envoy from the neighboring country has been searching for Xu Jiu.

The envoy from the neighboring country looked at the people behind him and cursed them right there.

“How exactly have we been taking care of Her Highness the Princess? If anything were to happen to Her Highness the Palace Master, I’d like to see how many of you would lose your heads.”

Upon hearing what the envoy from the neighboring country said, these people must have been in a state of great fear at that moment.

If this continues, the consequences could be disastrous.

At this moment, Gan Luo appeared before the envoys from the neighboring country.

When Gan Luo appeared before them, they were only slightly puzzled for a moment.

They had no idea why Gan Luo was there.

"I don't know why Your Highness is here all of a sudden. Is there something you wish to say?"

"I only want to say one thing to you all: Xu Jiu is online. There's nothing going on right now. Xu Jiu is just chatting with an old friend of mine about some important matters. You don't need to worry too much."

When they heard Gan Luo say this, they naturally didn't say anything more.

"Since Your Highness has said so, then we will stop looking for her. However, if anything happens to our princess, please take full responsibility."

Gan Luo never imagined that he would one day be threatened by the person in front of him, and Gan Luo agreed.

Gan Luo stood not far away, watching the exchange between Shangguan Mufeng and Xu Jiu, and naturally felt quite pleased.

At the beginning, Gan Luo thought the two hadn't communicated at all, but now that they had, and seeing the smile on Xu Jiu's face, Gan Luo was certain of one thing: Xu Jiu probably already had feelings for Shangguan Mufeng.

Even if you don't have any romantic feelings for someone, you've at least developed a good impression, so you can proceed gradually from there.

One thing Gan Luo was certain of was that Shangguan Mufeng did indeed have some feelings for him, but these feelings had completely disappeared because of the past month. However, Gan Luo was still quite happy about this.

After all, Gan Luo hoped that Shangguan Mufeng could do what he should do. More importantly, Gan Luo hoped that Shangguan Mufeng could get married and have children, and Xu Jiu was the perfect choice.

Xu Jiu no longer wants to enter Gan Yanling's harem, so she can choose the son of an official. However, this son of an official must hold some position; otherwise, how can this be worthy of Xu Jiu's status?

Even if things weren't so great, Xu Jiu was still a princess from a neighboring country.

Since Xu Jiu is the princess of this neighboring country, then naturally she must…

"I wonder what your surname is, and which family you belong to."

Xu Jiu replied to Shangguan Mufeng that she was a princess from a neighboring country.

Upon hearing what Xu Jiu said, Shangguan Mufeng was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Xu Jiu would be a princess from a neighboring country. This was truly unbelievable to Shangguan Mufeng.

At first, Shangguan Mufeng thought the person in front of him was just a girl from a humble family, but after learning this, he discovered that she was of such noble status. Shangguan Mufeng had already paid his respects to the princess of the neighboring country.

For some reason, at that moment, Shangguan Mufeng felt as if Gan Luo was doing it on purpose.

After all, it was Gan Luo who invited him out, but now Gan Luo is nowhere to be seen, and standing here is the princess of the neighboring country. The princess of the neighboring country then told Shangguan Mofang her name.

"Your name is quite pleasant to hear."

“Young master, I have already told you my name. Why don’t you tell me your name as well?”

Shangguan Mufeng then told the princess of the neighboring country his name.

With this final confirmation, the princess from the neighboring country then inquired of Shangguan Mufeng.

"I wonder if this young master would be willing to marry me nowadays."

Shangguan Mufeng was stunned for a moment. Was the princess from the neighboring country joking?

"Your Highness, are you joking here?"

"I'm not joking with you. I'm only here for a marriage alliance, but I don't want to marry the emperor."

For Shangguan Mufeng, the fact that this person wanted to marry him was truly something he hadn't been able to process.

Even more importantly, he has no official position whatsoever, so how can he afford to get married?
