"You flatter me! You flatter me! This is all I should do. I still have my life to live, so I won't bother Your Highness any longer. I'll take my leave now!"
Gu Qianxue was overjoyed and couldn't help but cry tears of joy. She said, "Su Dong, go and get some silver to reward Guard Feng Ji."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ji immediately cupped his hands in a salute, saying, "Thank you for your generous gift, Consort!"

Congratulations, Miss! You've won the Second Prince's favor! You've made the right choice in this marriage!

"That's more like it! Also, could you ask the coachmen at the Imperial Palace if there are any spare carriages available tomorrow?"
Su Dong was startled, then suddenly remembered something and asked in surprise, "Does Miss intend to go to Lingguang Temple alone tomorrow?"
"Hehe, if Gu Qianluo can go, why can't I, Gu Qianxue, go? Not only will I go, but I'll go dressed in my finest clothes!"
