The Gu siblings really didn't understand how Uncle Gu could fool Prince Kang, calling him a troublemaker one moment and a brother the next.
Even more so, Prince Kang wanted to take Uncle Gu upstairs and have a three-hundred-round battle with someone.
Gu Hui quickly grabbed her uncle, "Dad, aren't you going to shop anymore?"
King Kang then noticed the siblings: "Hey? It's the young heroine from the top scholar's family! Brother, you wouldn't happen to be the top scholar's older brother, would you!"
Suddenly, the Prince of Kang's eyes lit up: "Brother Gu, does the top scholar want to play cricket fighting?"
Uncle Gu shook his head: "He doesn't play this game, he studies! Otherwise, how could he have become the top scholar?"
King Kang patted Uncle Gu on the shoulder: "Brother Gu, I've found that we're getting along better and better. Come on, come on, I'll take you to play! You kids, go play by yourselves!"
Uncle Gu: "Your Highness, although you are a prince, it's still uncertain who will be the elder brother! Look at my daughter, she'll be eighteen soon!"
King Kang: "Really? I got married late, but my daughter is seventeen. Oh dear, speaking of which, I've even heard my daughter mention your daughter!"
Uncle Gu: "What did they mention? Did they get into a fight?"
Kang Wang glanced at Gu Hui and whispered, "No, that's not it. But my daughter wanted to fight your daughter the other day. I tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen! I said, 'At least give the top scholar some face!' She said it was just a friendly spar. I don't believe her for a second. In all her life, when she sparred with someone, she always fought to the death."
Uncle Gu: "That's alright, I have many children. If your daughter dares to beat someone to death, our children will too. But let's make this clear first, the children can fight as they please, but if your daughter beats someone, you can't make things difficult for my second brother."
Prince Kang: "Who would dare! The Emperor has a fondness for the top scholar. Oh dear, let's not talk about my daughter anymore, let's go, let's go upstairs and play!"
Uncle Gu waved to the children: "Go play! I'll go home by myself in a bit!"
"Dad (Uncle)!" the Gu family children exclaimed.
Gu Nian: "The prince's daughter is a princess, right? Why does she want to fight with you, eldest sister?"
Gu Xin pulled Gu Nian along: "Sister, Princess Jinghe is a very nice person. She was the one who bullied Li Shan and spoke up for Princess Xingnan that day."
Gu Nian frowned. Last night, Cai Xiaolian had mentioned that the Emperor had bestowed a marriage upon Li Muyan, granting him a princess.
Gu Hui hugged Gu Ren and changed the subject: "Let's go, Father should be fine. He seems to be getting along quite well with Prince Kang."
Gu Nian didn't ask any more questions and continued shopping with them.
"Hey, Shan'er, look, isn't that that brat Gu Xin?" Not far away, Lu Ni, who was also shopping, spotted Gu Xin and asked Li Shan.
Li Shan looked over and was stunned. Gu Nian and Gu Si had arrived. Had the whole family come to the capital?
"Sister Ni, it's them. Let's go!" Li Shan looked frightened.
"You're afraid of them? What are you afraid of? They're not going to eat you up, are they?" Lu Ni gave Li Shan a look of exasperation.
"No, I'm not scared. I'm worried that Sister Nian Nian will feel bad if she sees me," Li Shan said softly.
"Sister Niannian? Is she the girl you mentioned before, the one the young master likes?" Lu Ni's eyes darted around, and she had an idea.
"Don't say anything, Sister Ni. Now that my brother and Princess Jinghe are engaged, it's best not to let Sister Niannian see me, lest she overthink things." Li Shan looked worried.
Hmph, Gu Nian, just wait and see how Princess Jinghe deals with you!
