"Sisi, get up quickly."

Gu Lingchen wanted to step forward to help Liu Sisi up, but suddenly realized it was impolite and silently withdrew his hand.

"Little Sisi, shall I take you to your place to put your things down first, and then show you around the capital city, okay?"

“Okay,” Liu Sisi nodded, then got into the carriage, which followed behind Gu Lingchen’s carriage.

At the same time, Luo Ling'er's carriage was also traveling from the imperial city towards the outskirts of the city.

Luo Kuanlong had promised his daughter a few days ago that he would visit his benefactor's family, but he has been too busy lately to go.

Now that she has some free time, Luo Ling'er is already clamoring to go to Jinshan County.

He had always doted on Luo Ling'er, and since Luo Ling'er had been practicing martial arts much more diligently than usual recently, he agreed to take her along. He even asked Emperor Yong'an for a few days' leave for this purpose.

Wang Dani pulled up the curtain of the carriage and looked at the prosperous scene outside the window.

"Miss, this imperial city is so lively! There are so many things here that we've never seen before. There are so many more things than in the streets of Jinshan County!"

“Of course, otherwise how could this be the imperial city!” Liu Sisi replied.

The carriage stopped after a while.

"Huh? We arrived so quickly?"

Wang Dani was puzzled when she saw the carriage stop.

At that moment, Liu Sisi heard someone bowing outside the carriage.

"This humble servant greets Your Highness the Second Prince." Luo Kuanlong bowed to Gu Lingchen.

Hearing the sound, Liu Sisi pulled back the curtain and looked outside.

Luo Ling'er from Luo Kuanlong's racing team also pulled back the curtain to look outside.

And just like that, their eyes met.

"Little sister Sisi."

"Sister Luo."

The two jumped off the carriage at the same time.

They walked in each other's directions.

Wang Dani and Wang Erni also got off the carriage, and they were both quite excited.

After all, she was a close friend who had gone through thick and thin with me.

"I didn't expect to run into you so soon after entering the capital. What a coincidence! Sister Luo!" Liu Sisi walked quickly and reached Luo Ling'er's side in just a few steps.

After seeing his daughter disembark from the carriage, Luo Kuanlong bowed and looked over in their direction.

"Ling'er, is this the one?"

Luo Kuanlong looked at Liu Sisi's face, and was stunned for a moment, feeling a sense of familiarity.

"Yes, Father, this is Sisi. Now that Sisi has come to the capital, we don't need to go."

Luo Ling'er took Liu Sisi's hand and began to introduce them.

Judging from the grandeur of her house, Liu Sisi guessed that her family must be of high status! She wondered if she would have to pay her respects again.

"This humble woman pays her respects..."

Liu Sisi was pulled up by Luo Ling'er before she could finish her greeting.

"Alright, no need for formalities."

"You're my savior! Look, I brought so many good things to give you! Now that you're here, I'll just give them to you directly."

Where do you live? Why don't you just stay at my place?

"Ahem." Gu Lingchen coughed lightly twice when he saw that Liu Sisi was about to be snatched away.

Luo Kuanlong then realized what was happening.

"Ling'er, quickly pay your respects to the Second Prince."

Gu Lingchen thought to himself, "You finally remembered me."

After Luo Ling'er bowed to Gu Lingchen, she held Liu Sisi's hand tightly, wanting Liu Sisi to stay at her home for a few days.

"My sister Sisi has something important to discuss with me, General Luo. If your daughter wants to see Sisi, please come another day!"

Gu Lingchen's voice turned cold, and his displeasure was clearly audible.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave with Ling'er now." Luo Kuanlong replied immediately when he saw that Gu Lingchen's expression was off.

After saying that, he pulled his daughter and told her to hurry back to the carriage.

"Hey, wait a minute, why are you pulling me? Sisi, remember to come visit my home sometime. My house is on the north street of the imperial city, the Luo residence is easy to find."

Luo Ling'er's voice grew softer and softer as Luo Kuanlong pulled her into the carriage.

“Okay, Sister Luo, I’ll definitely go when I have time,” Liu Sisi replied.

Then he looked at Gu Lingchen's not-so-pleasant expression.

He thought to himself, "This person is really strange. He was fine just a moment ago, and now he's suddenly angry? It's so inexplicable!"

"No wonder people say that serving a king is like serving a tiger. My emotions started to become unstable when I was a prince."

When Liu Sisi looked at Gu Lingchen, the coldness on his face had completely disappeared.

"Let's go! Sisi, let's go back to the manor now. I'll have the cook prepare some delicious food for you. Are you starving after such a long carriage ride?"

His voice was extremely gentle, leaving Liu Sisi stunned. This person's face changed so quickly.

Since Liu Sisi was still a commoner, it was impossible for her to live in the palace. So Gu Lingchen arranged a place for Liu Sisi to stay not far from the palace.

After Gu Lingchen and Liu Sisi entered the mansion arranged by Gu Lingchen.

A young girl dressed in fine clothes sat in a carriage that followed them at a distance.

The maid helped the girl down from the carriage.

"Did you see clearly who my cousin was picking up?" the girl asked the maid.

"Miss, I have never seen this person in the capital. I wonder where this country bumpkin came from!"

"Hmph, no wonder my cousin has always ignored me, it must be because of this little bitch."

This young girl is the daughter of the Duke of Lin, Lin Rou, and Consort Hui is her aunt.

He just turned 12 this year. He didn't like Gu Lingchen before. Gu Lingchen used to be sickly, and no matter how good-looking he was, he wouldn't look down on him.

She used to like seeking validation from the eldest prince.
