All-around doctor Rong Sheng, after being brought to ancient times by a system, was as busy as a spinning top treating illnesses.
She was too tired and wanted to go home to leisurely farm.
"What?"
"Gu Sanniu? What did you just say?"
"This king???"
"Gu Sanniu, have you lost your mind? How dare you call yourself 'this king' to us? Do you believe I'll take you to the county magistrate and have him teach you a lesson? You're just a commoner, a farmer's son. Even if you've been in the army for many years, you're still a farmer's son. How dare you call yourself 'this king'? Do you have a death wish?"
This is a serious taboo. Only the emperor's sons can refer to themselves as "this king," as can princes of the opposite sex and princes of the blood!
What is the relationship between Gu Sanniu and the Prince that he dares to call himself "this Prince"?!
Gu Beiyi curled his lips into a wicked smile: "I, Gu Beiyi, am Prince Gu Beiyi of the Qingluan Kingdom. Is it wrong for you to refer to yourself as 'this prince'?"
Boom!!
This remark stunned everyone in the room. When they came to their senses, they burst out laughing: "You're a prince? Gu Sanniu, this joke is way too much, it's hilarious! Have you been daydreaming too much that you're imagining yourself as a prince?!"
“Although we come from peasant families, we know that the Prince is the Emperor’s brother! He is second only to the Emperor. Are you sure you are the Prince? If you are the Prince, how could you be here? So Gu San Niu, don’t talk nonsense just to be with Sheng Bao!”
Rong Yu frowned: "You say you're a prince, what proof do you have?" Gu Beiyi was indeed the name of Prince Yi of Qingluan Kingdom, without a doubt! Rong Yu originally wanted to suspect Gu Beiyi like his eldest and third brothers, but seeing that there was no trace of lying on Gu Beiyi's handsome face, Rong Yu was not confident either. "Produce evidence to prove your identity!"
Su Wenlan quickly got off the kang (a heated brick bed) and knelt respectfully before Gu Beiyi: "Su Wenlan greets Prince Yi! Long live Prince Yi!"
"Miss Su..."
“Lanlan…”
Everyone was stunned when they saw Su Wenlan kneeling down to pay her respects!
Could Gu Sanniu really be Gu Beiyi? Is he Prince Yi? The Emperor's brother?
Su Wenlan comes from the capital and is the younger sister of Su Wenxian, the richest man in Qingluan Kingdom. She must have met Gu Beiyi before, so why did she suddenly kneel down to pay her respects?
Boom! Boom! Boom! Instantly, everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning!
It really is Prince Yi!!
Gu Beiyi ignored Su Wenlan and casually tossed the prince's token on the kang (a heated brick bed): "Look carefully, look really well!"
Rong Yu quickly stepped forward, grabbed the token, and examined it. It was indeed the same as the prince's token that Pei Xiucai had mentioned!
After studying under Scholar Pei, Rong Yu not only learned about the imperial court but also became acquainted with many matters concerning the court, thus seeing the prince's token recorded in the book! Moreover, the book Sheng Bao gave him also contained a prince's token, including all the events in Gu Beiyi's life!!
Immediately, Rong Yu looked at his parents and his two older brothers, and said with difficulty, "Father, Mother, eldest brother, third brother, this is a prince's token! I can guarantee it's real!"
Who would dare to forge a prince's token? Moreover, Prince Yi's prince's token was personally crafted by the late emperor, making it unique!
Su Wenlan bit her lip: "Don't doubt it anymore, he is Prince Yi! No doubt about it! I knew he was Prince Yi a long time ago! So quickly kneel down and pay your respects!"
Rong Mu and the others blinked, looked at the token in their hands, and quickly got off the kang (a heated brick bed), knelt on the ground, and bowed to Gu Beiyi.
Gu Beiyi's voice was gentle: "Get up! We are all family now. You don't need to bow to me in the future!" As he spoke, Gu Beiyi took out his personal jade pendant and placed it on the kang (a heated brick bed): "Take this jade pendant. If anyone dares to cause you trouble in the future, just take out this jade pendant. Seeing this jade pendant is the same as seeing me! If anyone dares to disobey, they will be sent directly to the government for punishment!"
How could Rong Dong'an and the others dare to get up? They used to hate Gu Beiyi and wanted him to stay away from Sheng Bao as far away as possible, preferably never appearing in front of Sheng Bao again, so that their Sheng Bao wouldn't be taken away by someone else.
As a result, Gu Beiyi appeared with the prince's token and forcefully told them that they were a family and that he wanted to marry Sheng Bao. How could they bear this provocation!
Prince Yi! He is truly second only to the emperor, above all others. How could they, the common peasants, possibly be a match for him? Let alone Sheng Bao, even if it meant taking their lives, they couldn't resist!
So everyone was very scared, especially Rong Mu and Rong Dong'an. Back in the county town, the father and son had often scolded Gu Beiyi because of Sheng Bao. Now that Gu Beiyi's identity had been revealed, they were really afraid that Gu Beiyi would cause them trouble!
"Get up!" Gu Beiyi helped them up, and seeing their trembling and frightened appearance, Gu Beiyi smiled: "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble! You are Sheng Sheng's family, and Sheng Sheng values you very much! I will naturally not let Sheng Sheng down or suffer. As long as you continue to treat Sheng Sheng well, then I will not cause you any trouble!"
"Your Highness...this...please get on the kang (heated brick bed) and warm yourself up!" Rong Dong'an was the head of the family, so he had to put on a show to avoid making Xu Shi and the others even more afraid!
Gu Beiyi waved his hand, "No need! I have many things to do, and I'll be leaving after I finish speaking!"
"Your Highness, please speak!"
Gu Beiyi: "I wish for my uncle and aunt to marry Rong Sheng to me! My feelings for Sheng Sheng are genuine! I have never felt this way before! And I swear that in this life and for all eternity, I will only have Rong Sheng, and I will never betray her, nor will I ever cause her pain or suffering! May those who break this oath die a horrible death! May the Qingluan royal family perish!"
"hiss!!"
This oath was too cruel, making Rong Dong'an and the others tremble with fear! If Gu Beiyi wasn't Gu Beiyi, but Gu Sanniu, they would never have believed it, but this was Prince Yi! The Emperor's own younger brother, and his solemn oath carried immense weight, leaving them no choice but to believe it!
Moreover, a solemn oath is blessed by Heaven. If Gu Beiyi really does something to betray Sheng Bao, he will definitely keep his oath.
"As the saying goes, marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers. Sheng Bao's marriage shouldn't be decided so hastily. But you are Prince Yi, a person of great honor second only to the emperor. I believe you are not the kind of person to go back on your word! So I am willing to marry Sheng Bao to you! But Prince Yi, how should I marry my daughter? This... I have no experience!"
This is a prince; they couldn't afford to offend him, so they had no choice but to agree.
But Rong Dong'an wasn't worried because Sheng Bao had a magical system that could predict the snow disaster. If Gu Beiyi really did something to wrong Sheng Bao, the system would definitely tell Sheng Bao, and they would then be able to find a way to deal with Gu Beiyi!
Rong Yu's dark eyes darkened for a moment, then brightened again. The person before him was Prince Yi, Gu Beiyi, not Gu Sanniu! Sheng Bao liked him, and if Sheng Bao married him, she would be very happy!
