The Ninth Prince's naive and innocent demeanor made it impossible for anyone to believe that he was deliberately saying these things to make fun of Prince Tian Tian.
He was exceptionally sincere, his eyes completely devoid of any impurities, so much so that even Prince Tiantian couldn't get angry with him.
After much persuasion, they finally declined the invitation, because the palace was going to hold a banquet after the martial arts competition.
Ninth Prince, even if you're naive and innocent, can you really compete with your father for someone? You should understand that much, right?
What Prince Tian Tian didn't know was that the Ninth Prince was knowledgeable about everything and was deliberately saying this to annoy him!
If it weren't for the palace hosting a banquet, he wouldn't have dared to bring it up, for fear that if he did, Prince Tiantian might suddenly agree.
That evening, the Ninth Prince went to the Gu family's house again for a free meal.
"Stop saying those disgusting things. Be careful, or he might actually agree to sleep with you one day, and then you'll be crying." Gu Xin looked at the Ninth Prince's excited yet feigned aggrieved expression and knew what he was going to say. She didn't want to hear anything about Prince Tiantian at all.
The Ninth Prince shut his mouth, looking aggrieved.
“Brother Jiu, Third Sister won’t listen to me. Come on, let’s go talk over there. We still have a while before dinner. I’ll listen and give you a suggestion so you’ll disgust him so much next time that he can’t eat.” Gu Ren pulled the Ninth Prince aside.
Uncle Gu stroked his chin and tsk. He wondered who this kid took after. Neither he nor Zhang Shi were like this. Could it be that he was sold by Zhang Shi's family when he was a child, and Xue Xiao Er brought back a fake one?
Uncle Gu seriously doubted whether this was his own son.
Gu Ren had no idea. If he did, he would definitely cry. Wasn't he a member of the Gu family? He was even aware of his surroundings while he was still in Zhang's womb, unless…
Never mind, Gu Ren will never know this.
After dinner, Gu Xin made an excuse that she was tired and wanted to go back to her room to sleep, so she didn't stay outside for long. After returning to her room, she asked Dongxue to tell Cheng Huaijin's servant to ask Cheng Huaijin to come over in a little while.
"Third Sister, are you really going?" Gu Si knew what Gu Xin was going to do, but she felt that General Shi Mu was quite dangerous and was still a little worried.
"Yes! Don't worry, I've brought my brother and Yuanyuan along, nothing will happen. Besides, this is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, what could possibly go wrong? You should be worried about whether others will get into trouble." Gu Xin saw through Gu Si's worries at a glance and comforted her.
“That’s true.” Gu Si thought about it and agreed. This was the capital city, so there was no need to worry about Gu Xin getting into trouble. Suddenly, she had an idea and grabbed Gu Xin’s arm. “Third sister, do you think I can go with you? I won’t cause any trouble, and with Brother Xiao Jin and Brother A Yuan there, I definitely won’t hold you back.”
"Sure! Sisi, you're finally being lively! I thought you were going to stay a proper young lady until Huo the Prodigy came to marry you!" Gu Xin agreed without hesitation, and then teased Gu Si a few times.
"Third sister, what are you saying! It's not because he wants to be a well-bred young lady, it's just that my mother always says our family needs a quiet girl! So I sacrificed myself to be that quiet girl! Besides, it's not that I don't want to go out and have fun, it's just that the girls in the capital aren't fun!" Gu Si felt very wronged. When she went out to play with other girls, they were all delicate young ladies. She preferred to stay at home.
