After what happened last time, Lin rarely comes to see me anymore.
I didn't expect it to come again this time, and with this kind of pretentious voice.
She was a little forbearing, put down her hands that were pinching her head and looked at the pink figure that was late at the door.
"You didn't even knock before coming in? Where are your tutors?"
Lin didn't care at all about Gu Qingsheng's sarcasm.
After these things have completely torn the relationship between two people, it seems a bit fake to pretend to be very sad.
Sitting next to Gu Qingsheng, Lin took a look at the bird's nest next to Gu Qingsheng, sniffed the smell of the bird's nest and smiled.
"This bird's nest is stewed very well. Bai Lu's cooking skills are always good."
"The bird's nest cooked with spring fruits in water tastes just average. I'll ask Bai Lu to make me a bowl when I have time."
Bai Lu did not answer, but lowered her head and said
"I was given to the princess by the princess. If I were to work for Madam Lin, I would probably have to ask the princess."
This did not give Lin any face at all, so Lin pretended not to hear it and lowered her eyes to look at her nails painted with pink nail polish. Luo Shui and Chun Guo behind her both lowered their heads and looked submissive.
Gu Qingsheng didn't think that Lin came to him just to reminisce about the past.
She straightened up, her eyes and brows full of boredom, and then she looked at Lin carefully.
She has gained a lot of weight in recent days. I don’t know if it’s because she is pregnant, but her complexion is also a little rosy.
Instead, he didn't seem as unfortunate as before, and there was some kindness in him.
But seeing her like this, Gu Qingsheng just sneered and pushed the bird's nest aside.
"The Bailu Bird's Nest is indeed well made, but it's still not up to par. I don't really like it, and I don't think it would suit Auntie's taste either. I'd better save the trouble of cooking for her."
Her eyes were cold as she looked at Lin's slightly bulging belly.
"If you count by months, it's been five months."
"She's starting to show her pregnancy in the past five months. It looks like this baby is going to be quite good."
When she heard Gu Qingsheng say that she was pregnant, she didn't know whether it was intentional or not, she puffed out her belly and smiled very gently, putting her hands on her belly. The pink nail polish and the plain clothes were a bit dazzling.
"That's right. I don't know why. It's only been five months and there are already signs. It doesn't look like five months at all."
"Maybe this pregnancy is twins."
She smiled, but Gu Qingsheng stopped talking.
After a long time without any response from Gu Qingsheng, the smile in Lin's eyes slowly faded away, and she put down her hand.
"Actually, it was mainly your father's idea that brought us here."
The expression on his face was a little smug.
"The prince told me that when you were little, the queen mother gave your mother a longevity lock."
"That was a tribute from the Western Regions. It seems to be of some use, so the prince wanted me to come to you to get the lock, so that I can keep it to protect the child."
In the past, when the former princess was pregnant with me, she was in poor health. In order to help her get better, the queen mother gave her this longevity lock.
For so many years, there is only this piece of this lock, and the Western Regions have never offered this item as tribute despite countless attempts.
It's indeed very rare, but...
Gu Qingsheng's eyes were changing unpredictably. He did not immediately stand up to get the lock. Instead, he looked at Lin and asked:
"Are you sure you want that longevity lock?"
Originally, Lin had no great interest in the lock, but later she heard that the lock was a gift from the Empress Dowager, and it must be worth a fortune.
Whether it is useful or not is another matter. Since the prince asked her to take the lock, it means that she still has a certain status in the prince's heart.
This made Lin feel much better. When she heard Gu Qingsheng ask this, she nodded in understanding.
"Exactly. Now that you've grown up and the previous princess has passed away, I'm the only one who can use this longevity lock."
"If not me, who will use it?"
"Let me ask you again, do you really want to use this longevity lock?"
Gu Qingsheng asked again with a blank expression, which made Lin very unhappy.
"If I don't want to use it, who will?"
Suddenly something came to mind, and Lin nodded with an expression of understanding.
"I know this longevity lock is very precious. After all, it's a gift from the emperor. You're reluctant to part with it because of the profit."
"But, I still say, what's the use of this to you now? It's a waste to keep it. It's better to give it to your future brother. You are angry with me, right?"
My future brother...
"I don't have a brother born to a country woman."
Gu Qingsheng sneered, and this sentence made Lin's face completely dark.
She never expected that Gu Qingsheng would say such a thing so carelessly. Chunguo and Luoshui behind him looked at each other, their eyes a little confused.
This made Lin feel a deep sense of crisis, and he immediately slammed the table and stood up.
"If you insist on not handing it over, then I can only tell the prince and let him judge the situation."
After saying that, he was about to leave in a rage. When he reached the door, Gu Qingsheng slowly spoke.
"etc."
Lin didn't turn around but smiled coldly.
She knew that as long as it involved Prince Duan, there would be no reason for Gu Qingsheng to refuse.
"What? Have you figured it out?"
"I didn't recommend you take this longevity lock, but since you've made up your mind and want it so badly, it's not impossible for me to give it to you."
"Bai Lu."
Turning around and calling out to Bai Lu, Gu Qingsheng raised his head.
"Go find the longevity lock, then wrap it up and send it to Madam."
“No need to wrap it.”
Until now, Lin had not left, and just stood there stiffly, watching Bai Lu raise her head high.
"I'll be watching right here myself, just take it away."
She was afraid that if she left, Gu Qingsheng would tamper with the longevity lock. This groundless worry made Gu Qingsheng full of disdain.
"Bai Lu, take the things out."
The longevity lock was placed on the top of a wooden box, and on the first layer of the wooden box was placed such a golden longevity lock.
There are three solid bells under the lock. The sound is not harsh or dull, and you can tell it is very precious just by listening to it.
At first glance, Lin liked the longevity lock very much. She couldn't let it go. After playing with it for a while, she asked uncertainly:
"You really gave me this thing?"
"What can I do?"
Gu Qingsheng said.
"It's Daddy's order anyway. Can I disagree? If the time comes and you ask Daddy to ask me for it, it will be such an awkward scene."
"But I still advise you not to wear this longevity lock."
There is no goodwill between the two people. Lin is the revenge of Gu Qingsheng's mother's murder, and Lin understands this very well.
So he couldn't listen to a word Gu Qingsheng said.
