Chapter 28: Criticism and Struggle
"That's what the prince said."
Zhao Wuji nodded hastily, agreeing with him from the side.
Although I was extremely unhappy, there was nothing I could do to change anything.
Xin Ruyu saw Zhao Wuji's pathetic appearance.
He walked up to Zhao Wuji with a hint of mockery in his eyes and patted Zhao Wuji on the shoulder.
"waste."
Xin Ruyu simply uttered those two words.
However, these two words struck Zhao Wuji's heart like a heavy hammer.
This prince is truly a bully who uses his power to intimidate others!
At this moment, Zhao Wuji was furious.
He even felt that this prince truly didn't treat him like a human being.
Xin Ruyu was about to leave after saying those two words, but then suddenly remembered that since he was already here, he might as well have some fun with Zhao Wuji.
"I am not very familiar with the capital. Today I have some leisure time and would like to take a stroll around. How about I ask Young Master Zhao to show me around? What do you think?"
I just called Zhao Wuji a good-for-nothing, but now I'm supposed to be led around by him... There's no such thing as a free lunch.
"Your Highness, I'm so sorry, my father..."
Before Zhao Wuji could finish speaking, he turned his gaze to the servant behind him.
"Go to the Grand Tutor's residence and tell him that Young Master Zhao will accompany me for a stroll in the capital today. If that doesn't work out, I will send someone back to the palace to inform His Majesty. What do you think, Young Master Zhao?"
Zhao Wuji knew that he couldn't escape now and could only be carried by this guy.
"..."
Several crows flew overhead.
He had already cursed Xin Ruyu to the core in his heart.
He never expected that this person would ask him to accompany him shopping.
"Didn't Your Highness say before that you wanted the Princess to accompany you?"
Xin Ruyu grew impatient listening to him constantly muttering to himself.
"If what you're saying is true, does that mean you're unwilling to accompany me right now?"
"Or to put it another way, is it because I just called you a piece of trash?"
"Your Highness, what are you saying? How could I dare not accompany you?"
Zhao Wuji immediately greeted him with a smile, but his true feelings were not so.
On the other side, Gan Luo sat in the princess's residence, quietly waiting for Xu Jinxin's arrival.
"Princess, how did you know that Miss Xu would come to the Princess's residence in person?"
Gan Luo smiled and played with the bracelet in his hand.
"Because of my divine calculations."
The sudden words left Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo completely bewildered.
"Princess, are you teasing us?"
Suddenly hearing footsteps, Gan Luo opened his eyes and uttered two words calmly.
"People are coming."
These two simple words shocked Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo to no end.
It has to be said, this princess is really confident!
Lin Fengmian stood silently to the side, wanting to see what Gan Luo's plans were now.
"I have met Her Highness the Princess."
Led by the eunuch, Xu Jinxin arrived before Gan Luo and respectfully bowed.
"Thank you for coming in person, sister."
"Sister, what are you saying? Isn't it just to show your sincerity? Now that I've come here in person, it shows even more that I'm truly dedicated."
Seeing Gan Luo's appearance, Xu Jinxin felt only disgust.
Even if Gan Luo was stunningly beautiful, so what? Ke Yijiu was anything but gentle and charming.
Who would like someone so domineering?
"Little guard, I want to eat grapes. Could you peel one for me?"
Gan Luo was lying on a soft recliner, looking extremely relaxed.
It seems they overlooked what Xu Jinxin had just said.
"I would like to ask why I would like to attend the poetry competition you organized."
Gan Luo showed absolutely no interest in the poetry competition.
If it were a martial arts contest, Gan Luo would have quite a few ideas.
"cousin."
Gan Luo opened his eyes and looked up at the woman in front of him.
This person actually called her "cousin" in a coquettish tone? Does he think Gan Luo is a man?
"My younger sister hopes that my older cousin can do her a favor and go to the Prime Minister's residence to participate in the poetry competition."
Lin Fengmian peeled the grapes and handed them to Gan Luo.
"Aren't you going to feed me?"
As soon as she said those words, Xu Jinxin had only one thought in her mind.
This princess is really playing some crazy games; she doesn't even spare the guards around her.
Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo chuckled to themselves on the side.
Lin Fengmian stiffened, but still fed the grape to Gan Luo.
"The grapes today are much sweeter than usual, I wonder if it's because you peeled them."
Initially, it was said that Gan Luo doted on the guards around her.
At first, Xu Jinxin thought it was just a rumor, but now that she has seen it with her own eyes, she can't help but doubt that it is true.
"I didn't quite catch what you said just now. Why don't you say it again?"
Xu Jinxin patiently repeated what she had just said.
"Please do me the honor of going to the Prime Minister's residence, sister."
Seeing her pleading so earnestly, Gan Luo stood up.
"Since you've put it that way, wouldn't it be incredibly disrespectful of me not to go? Besides, you're the Prime Minister's daughter. If I don't go, the Prime Minister will probably take it all the way to the Emperor..."
That will cause Gan Luo some trouble again, tch!
When does the Chinese Poetry Competition start?
"Your Highness, the poetry competition is in four days. We hope that Your Highness will arrive at the Prime Minister's residence as scheduled in four days."
Gan Luo closed his eyes and nodded: "From now on, please call me Princess when you see me."
She disliked Xu Jinxin, and even though Xu Jinxin was her cousin, she didn't want to have anything to do with her.
After Xu Jinxin left, a man dressed in black appeared before Gan Luo.
"Your Highness! I have something to tell you today!"
Seeing his excited appearance, Gan Luo was somewhat puzzled.
"Your Highness! I actually saw Zhao Wuji and the Prince Yu on the street today."
Gan Luo's expression turned very serious upon hearing this.
"Have these two people done anything since then?"
"Your Highness, please let me finish speaking!"
Gan Luo listened to the man in front of him rambling on and on, and tried his best to control his emotions.
"It seems Zhao Wuji is somewhat aggrieved today, because he's carrying so many things, just like a prince..."
He then recounted all that he had heard to Ganluo.
"Ha, you reap what you sow. But why is it that the Prince Yu is teaching Zhao Wuji a lesson now?"
After all, Gan Luo remembered that the two of them seemed to have no grudges against each other.
“Your Highness, you don’t understand. I don’t need to tell you. Isn’t the Prince Yu in love with you? But now Zhao Wuji is treating you the way he used to. The Prince Yu knows this and naturally feels sorry for you. Now he wants to help you get revenge.”
If we accept Green Bamboo's explanation, then Gan Luo would be indebted to her.
