Chapter 126: Flower Fan
The maids in the Prime Minister's residence all cast infatuated glances at him.
"Whose son do you think this is?"
"Guard Lin, you may stand here."
Wait, what did the maids hear?
None of them expected that the person in front of them was actually just a guard.
They all initially thought this person was...
However, it is truly enviable that a guard could possess such a dignified appearance.
As luck would have it, Xu Jinxin happened to be passing by when she saw Lin Fengmian.
I was slightly surprised for a moment and paused for a moment.
"You are……"
Xu Jinxin didn't have much of an impression of this person.
"I am the princess's personal bodyguard."
I heard this sentence.
Xu Jinxin was extremely displeased. Why was it that even one of Gan Luo's bodyguards was such a handsome man?
"What is your name."
Xu Jinxin looked at Lin Fengmian.
"Lin Fengmian".
Lin Fengmian responded calmly, his face devoid of any emotion.
Xu Jinxin was instantly captivated by Lin Fengmian's imposing presence.
Xu Jinxin walked up to Lin Fengmian.
He wanted to talk to Lin Fengmian more.
Lin Fengmian gave a perfunctory and half-hearted answer to Xu Jinxin.
Xu Jinxin was thinking.
Did Lin Fengmian also speak to Gan Luo in this way?
So what was Gan Luo's expression like?
For some reason, I compared myself to Gan Luo at that moment.
The Prime Minister was reading a letter in his study.
Upon hearing of Lin Fengmian's arrival, the Prime Minister was startled.
The Prime Minister never expected Lin Fengmian to come here.
Afterwards, he met with Lin Fengmian, who handed the Prime Minister a painting.
"This was given to me by Her Highness the Princess to give to you, Prime Minister."
Lin Fengmian then made a farewell gesture and left.
After Lin Fengmian left.
The Prime Minister opened the painting, only to find it was made of glass and coral.
The prime minister suddenly remembered a proverb he had heard a few days ago.
Unexpectedly, Gan Luo is now on guard against him.
This surprised even the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister's expression changed repeatedly.
It seems I should find some time to visit Gan Luo in person.
"Father, what is the Princess's intention in giving you this painting?"
"You don't need to think too much about what the intention is."
But for some reason, Xu Jinxin always felt that the Prime Minister was hiding something.
The Prime Minister then dismissed Xu Jinxin.
The prime minister returned to his study and, upon seeing the painting, became furious.
They planned to burn the painting.
But then he thought about how he should answer if Gan Luo asked him about it.
In the end, he threw the painting into a secret room, out of sight, out of mind.
Gan Luo was leisurely staying in the princess's residence, playing with the jade bracelet in his hand.
I wonder what the Prime Minister's expression would be if he saw what she sent over.
If the prime minister is a smart man, he will naturally know Gan Luo's intention.
Lin Fengmian had already returned by this time.
Gan Luo saw Lin Fengmian return and inquired about the Prime Minister's expression.
Lin Fengmian answered each question, and Gan Luo was satisfied.
"I have made a new outfit for you. Take a look and see if you like it."
Gan Luo clapped his hands, and the maids brought over the clothes.
Lin Fengmian thought to himself that he had only worn these clothes once, and Gan Luo had made him new clothes.
He understood why Gan Luo had made Lin Fengmian wear this outfit today.
It was simply to avoid being looked down upon by those people in the Prime Minister's residence.
But Lin Fengmian didn't care at all.
After all, Lin Fengmian's identity was indeed Gan Luo's bodyguard, wasn't it?
"Thank you for the clothes, Your Highness."
Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo cast envious glances at each other.
After all, this princess has been so good to Lin Fengmian.
However, Lin Fengmian's feelings for the princess were genuine.
Lin Fengmian was devoted to the princess and even suffered many injuries for her sake.
If nothing unexpected happens, it's likely that Lin Fengmian will stay by the princess's side for the rest of his life.
"By the way, Your Highness, are people from the neighboring country coming tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, Gan Luo forgot about such a day.
"How did you know that tomorrow is the day when the neighboring country pays tribute, you little girl?"
Suddenly, Gan Luo flicked the bridge of Green Bamboo's nose.
He couldn't help but answer Gan Luo.
"That's because I heard you say it a while ago and wrote it down."
For some reason, Gan Luo had a bad feeling.
Lin Fengmian noticed that Gan Luo seemed a little uneasy.
Then someone went to fetch some calming incense.
Within the palace.
Gan Yanling naturally knew that people from the neighboring country were already on their way.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should arrive around midnight tonight.
"Your Majesty, are you going to personally meet them tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Gan Yanling told Jiang Yu.
"That's right, I do indeed intend to do it myself."
At the same time, Gan Yanling will inform everyone at tomorrow's court assembly that the envoy from the neighboring country will arrive the day after tomorrow.
River fish cannot understand Gan Yanling's intentions.
Gan Yanling wanted to negotiate a condition with the neighboring country.
If the negotiations go well, then the tribute can be presented tomorrow; if they don't go well, then it will have to be postponed.
After all, among the people contributed by the neighboring country were handsome men.
This handsome man could be used by Gan Yanling.
However, he needs to be properly disciplined.
At midnight, Gan Yanling disguised himself and personally went out of the city to greet him.
They were then placed in a side hall within the palace.
However, this matter was known only to the Prime Minister and the two of them.
No third person knows this.
Having arranged everything, the two went their separate ways.
The next day, there will be a court meeting.
The ministers were all waiting here for the envoy from the neighboring country.
Unexpectedly, the news that finally arrived was that the envoy from the neighboring country had encountered trouble on his journey and would have to wait another day.
"Your Majesty, should we send someone to meet the envoy from the neighboring country who has encountered some trouble?"
"No need."
Upon hearing the words "not needed," the ministers naturally refrained from further discussion.
Unexpectedly, their arrival this time was fraught with twists and turns.
"Don't worry, I believe they will arrive safely."
The group discussed national affairs and the matter of heading south.
After all, judging by the timeline, the emperor should be heading south.
On the other side, Gan Luo originally thought that today was the day when the neighboring country would pay tribute.
Unexpectedly, the neighboring country experienced an incident along the way that delayed the journey by a day.
Is this a genuine continuation or a fake one?
"Your Highness, His Majesty brought them into the palace at midnight last night."
They've already brought the people into the palace; the news being released now is just a smokescreen.
He wanted to see what his so-called younger brother was like.
What kind of weird tricks are they trying to pull now?
"Your Highness, would you like me to send someone to investigate?"
Lin Fengmian asked Gan Luo questions earnestly.
Gan Luo shook his head.
"No need. They pose no threat to me for the time being."
Since there's no way to threaten them, why bother sending someone to investigate?
Lin Fengmian nodded: "What the princess says is true."
