Princess Jinghe told the story as a joke, but after she finished, she noticed that the Gu siblings were looking at her strangely.

Princess Jinghe: "?"

Gu Xin: "Sister Zhen, the unfortunate child Lu Zheng who was burned to death in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion that you mentioned is my Yuanyuan brother."

Princess Jinghe: "!"

Her mouth gaped open in surprise, wide enough to fit two quail eggs.

Princess Jinghe became interested and quickly asked what was going on.

Princess Jinghe was a person certified by the Empress Dowager, and the fact that Lu Zheng was not dead had already been known to the Lin family, so there was nothing to hide. Gu Xin then told Princess Jinghe about the matter.

After saying that, Gu Xin said proudly, "Sister Zhen, isn't my brother Yuanyuan amazing? Smart, right? He came up with such a good idea! Originally, I wanted to bully his stepmother and her children in the capital, waiting for Brother Yuanyuan to become a great general and come back to give them a fatal blow! Oh dear, I've been exiled to the frontier too!"

"Hahaha..." Jinghe laughed, "What kind of description is that! This isn't called being exiled to the frontier, this is called the Emperor giving you a chance to show your talents! I don't know if Lu Zhengli is capable or not, but you are quite capable, at such a young age, you already know how to win horses for your sweetheart!"

"How do you know he's the one I love?" Gu Xin was stunned, then shook her head. "No, no, no, I can't say that yet. I need to ask him first."

Princess Jinghe: "...What are you asking? Are you going to ask someone else if he's the one you love?"

Gu Xin: "No! I want to ask him if I'm the one he loves! If I am the one he loves, then he is the one I love. If I'm not the one he loves, then he's not the one I love."

Princess Jinghe felt completely confused.

Gu Xin continued, "My uncle said that whoever likes someone first will suffer a loss, and whoever likes someone more deeply will suffer a loss. I don't want to suffer a loss, so I need to find out the truth first."

Princess Jinghe pondered the words carefully: "Hmm, what Uncle said makes sense! Sisters, let me tell you, we are girls, and this world is already harsh on us girls. So, when you look for a partner in the future, you must find someone you can control and who is obedient, so that life won't be so tiring. Otherwise, you'll be heartbroken to death."

Gu En interjected, "Sister Zhen, Sister Zhen, what about us boys? What should we pay attention to when looking for wives?"

Princess Jinghe glanced at Gu En: "There's nothing special to consider when looking for a wife. Just be gentle, patient, study hard, and practice your skills diligently. There will be plenty of girls who like you. Just pick the one you like the most. As long as you can keep her happy, life will definitely be wonderful!"

The Gu sisters: "!"

I never would have guessed you were a relationship consultant!

...

With Princess Jinghe joining them, the journey became even more lively.

The Gu family all liked her very much. When they came to the capital, they heard people say how domineering Princess Jinghe was and how she had servants take her to dominate the streets and alleys of the capital since she was three years old. Now that they saw her, she was just like their own daughters!

They were just like the Gu family.

General Peng silently observed the four granddaughters of the Gu family, along with Princess Jinghe, throughout the journey.

He has eight grandsons in total, and six of them are of marriageable age. The oldest is twenty and the youngest is three, but none of them have found a daughter yet!

He thought to himself with satisfaction, "I'll take at least one of them, if not all of them. I'm very happy with all five of them!"
