Chapter 322: Blessing
"I wonder if you still remember the past, for example, when we were in the Princess's residence. I don't know why, but I felt that those days were very happy."
Xu Jiu suddenly heard Shangguan Tian'er say this, and at that moment she directly told Shangguan Tian'er, "Actually, some things are in the past, and can't be brought back. Although they were indeed quite beautiful, they can only be kept deep in our memories, right?"
Gan Luo then overheard the two chatting and took out the hairpins he had prepared for them.
"These are the sister hairpins I prepared for you two, hoping that your friendship will last a long time."
When Xu Jiu and Shangguan Tian'er picked it up and took a look, they never expected that the embroidery on it would actually be flowers.
Gan Luo initially wanted to place a phoenix on it, but ultimately felt it was somewhat inappropriate.
What if someone with ulterior motives uses this to stir up trouble again?
Meanwhile, in the Prime Minister's residence, Prime Minister Xu, who knew everything Gan Luo had done, clapped his hands in amazement. The Prime Minister had never imagined that Gan Luo would have such a brilliant plan.
"I never imagined that Her Highness the Princess would do such a thing. It is truly unbelievable to me."
He had initially thought the princess wasn't very capable, but now he discovered that her abilities far surpassed his own.
"Heh." This time, it could be said that he had failed.
He was quite angry, but what could he do about it?
These things have already happened.
Subsequently, Prime Minister Xu went directly to the palace to request an audience with Gan Yanling.
Unexpectedly, when Prime Minister Xu arrived at the palace, he was politely refused.
Suddenly refused, Prime Minister Xu was momentarily confused and immediately turned his gaze to Jiang Yu. "Eunuch Jiang, why did His Majesty suddenly refuse..."
"His Majesty is currently facing some troubles, so please, Prime Minister, do not go in and disturb him, otherwise His Majesty will be angry."
Ultimately, having no other choice, Prime Minister Xu had to leave this place. Upon leaving, he unexpectedly encountered Xin Ruyu.
When Xin Ruyu saw Prime Minister Xu, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. "What a small world! I never expected to see Prime Minister Xu's daughter here. It's quite something..."
Before he could finish speaking, Prime Minister Xu began to mock Xin Ruyu. "Is Your Highness going to the palace again to beg for the princess's hand? With your attitude, it's like a toad trying to eat a swan. There's absolutely no way Your Highness will be able to marry the princess."
"How dare you speak to me like that? Even if you are the prime minister of the court, so what? I am still a prince. The person you should be seeing now is someone who bows to me."
Xin Ruyu kicked Prime Minister Xu to the ground. Prime Minister Xu, suddenly kicked, glared at him angrily.
"Why are your eyes almost popping out? Do you want to eat me alive? I was just teaching you about etiquette here, but I never expected you, Prime Minister Xu, to be so stupid that you don't even understand etiquette."
Prime Minister Xu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He never expected to meet Xin Ruyu here, let alone that Xin Ruyu would treat him like this. He will definitely remember this incident.
"I'll ask you one more time, are you sure you can do it or not? If you don't bow, I'll force you to bow right here."
In the end, Prime Minister Xu had no choice but to kneel down and bow to him.
Gan Luo happened to come out of the palace and saw Xin Ruyu and Prime Minister Xu. He never expected that the man would be in such a miserable state one day.
"I never expected to see the Prince and the Prime Minister together when I came out. Why is the Prime Minister kneeling on the ground? What happened?"
Gan Luo pretended to know nothing and began questioning them, though he had actually been observing them for quite some time. "I'm merely instructing the Prime Minister on the meaning of etiquette," he said.
Gan Luo glanced down at Prime Minister Xu and felt that Prime Minister Xu should remain kneeling on the ground.
Prime Minister Xu dusted himself off and stood up abruptly, glaring angrily at Xin Ruyu.
"I am kindly instructing you, and you should be thanking me. Why are you glaring at me so angrily?"
Prime Minister Xu took a deep breath, trying his best to appear very grateful to Xin Ruyu. "If what Your Highness says is true, then it seems that I do indeed need to properly thank Your Highness for your guidance."
Meanwhile, Gan Luo was questioning Prime Minister Xu. "You have already bowed to this prince. Shouldn't you bow to me, according to custom? Am I not worthy of your courtesy?"
Prime Minister Xu felt that Xin Ruyu and Gan Luo were definitely deliberately messing with him here. In the end, he had no choice but to bow to Gan Luo again.
Prime Minister Xu left in frustration, and after he left, Gan Luo snorted coldly, "He simply asked for trouble."
"Has Her Highness just come out of the palace?"
Although Gan Luo had some reservations about Xin Ruyu, he was probably quite pleased with how Xin Ruyu had treated Prime Minister Xu.
"I'm quite curious as to why Your Highness ended up here."
Xin Ruyu simply said a few words here and there, intending to just brush it off.
Unfortunately, Gan Luo was not someone who could be easily fooled.
"I'm telling you, stop having any nonsense thoughts here, or you'll suffer the consequences. You can try it here if you don't believe me."
How could Xin Ruyu not know the meaning behind Gan Luo's words?
"Your Highness's reprimand is well-deserved, and I will remember it. Your Highness seems to be in a good mood today. Why don't you accompany me for a walk? I've noticed a restaurant with some rather good dishes that Your Highness might enjoy."
Gan Luo recalled how Xin Ruyu had treated Prime Minister Xu, and finally decided to have dinner with Xin Ruyu.
