After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Bai whispered to Lu Qiqi, "Princess, Gu Chen and I took a great risk on our return to the capital this time."

If there's a chance, could you perhaps put in a good word for me and Gu Chen before the Crown Prince?

Lu Qiqi had a full meal, but she didn't expect there to be additional conditions.

This piqued her interest, "Tell me about the big risks. How do you want me to put in a good word for you?"

Lin Bai drank some wine, let out a burp, and said, "If Princess Wuqi is unfortunately chosen to marry Gu Chen and me, could you ask the Crown Prince to mediate between us?"

"Saying nice things just means praising me and Gu Chen, saying we're very capable and efficient."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qiqi was indeed amused by his drunken words, "Okay, no problem."

"I can agree to Wu Qi's marriage proposal right now; it definitely won't fall on you and Gu Chen."

Song Yanqing once said that the emperor would not allow Wuqi to marry into the household of an important official in the court.

Lin Bai and Gu Chen's fathers were both important officials in the court, so they naturally didn't need to worry about this.

As for the next thing, it's not really a problem. I just don't know if Lin Bai will regret what he asked for today.

Lu Qiqi still had things to buy, so she left the restaurant with Shijiu and Qingdai.

After everyone left, Gu Chen looked at Lin Bai and said coldly, "You want the county princess to praise you in front of the young master? Are you afraid your skin is too thick!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai instantly sobered up, muttering, "It's over."

It took him a long time to react, "You, Gu Chen, why didn't you stop me just now!"

"Now look what's happened! If the young master spills vinegar, you and I will be in big trouble!"

Gu Chen said calmly, "Now you know you regret it? It's probably too late!"
