"Gu Lin, when did I say I didn't want you?"
Jiang Yu tried several times to pull Gu Lin's hands off her, but Gu Lin seemed to be glued to her, which made Jiang Yu's bangs stand up in anger.
"So, Ayu means you want me forever?"
Gu Lin released his hand and looked at Jiang Yu with clear eyes, as if asking: Ayu, when will you want me?
Jiang Yu's ears turned red. This person is really shameless!
"Why did you appoint Kui Ruo directly as the Vice Minister of War?" Gu Lin deliberately leaned close to Jiang Yu's ear, "You know I'll be jealous, A-Yu."
Gu Lin's voice was so soft that only Jiang Yu could hear it. Looking at Jiang Yu's earlobes, which were almost red and bleeding, Gu Lin couldn't help but swallow.
The palace servants had long been dismissed, and Jiang Yu reached out to stand between her and Gu Lin.
“Ayan needs a court with fresh blood.”
"Is it just because of Ayan?" Gu Lin's eyes were bloodshot, his gaze seeming to want to suck Jiang Yu in.
“I have a past relationship with Kui Ruo, so I trust him. Apart from that, we have no other relationship.”
As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, Gu Lin's slender fingers touched her lips, tracing their exceptional shape.
"I know, but I just can't control myself."
Finally, a very restrained kiss landed on Jiang Yu's brow.
Gu Lin's image of self-discipline and propriety, which had always been shattered, was broken. Gu Lin's eyes were fixed on Jiang Yu, and then he took Jiang Yu's hands in his hand, "Ayu, don't be afraid of me."
"Over the years, haven't you had any other female confidantes by your side?"
Jiang Yu's sudden words caught Gu Lin off guard, and then Gu Lin laughed out loud, "Besides you, there's no one else."
Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows, deliberately questioning Gu Lin.
In fact, besides Ayan and her brother, the person she trusted most was Gu Lin.
To Jiang Yu's surprise, Gu Lin did not try to explain. Instead, he moved closer to her, pressing himself against her tightly.
Suddenly, Jiang Yu felt herself being... supported.
After a few seconds of confusion, under Gu Lin's murderous gaze, Jiang Yu suddenly realized what was happening, and her entire face, not just her earlobes, turned bright red.
Then, Gu Lin leaned close to Jiang Yu's ear and whispered something. Jiang Yu immediately turned into a steamed shrimp and cried out, "Gu Lin, you're shameless!"
"This humble servant is willing to serve Your Majesty the Empress Dowager."
Jiang Yu threw the handkerchief at Gu Lin and fled in panic.
......
"Father, is Mother ill?" Gu Qingyan asked in the courtyard, his face full of questions. Since he entered Zhaoning Palace, his mother had not come out to speak to him.
"Your mother is tired and is resting in the inner room."
Gu Lin reached out and turned Gu Qingyan's head back, "Don't get distracted while playing chess."
"No, I still need to go and take a look."
"Gu Qingyan, you are already eleven years old." Gu Lin continued without changing his expression, "As sons grow up, they should distance themselves from their mothers. You should also keep your distance from your mother."
"What?"
Gu Qingyan's lips twitched violently, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"What kind of behavior is it for you to run into your mother's room like this?" Gu Lin said as he got up and walked towards the room, leaving Gu Qingyan stunned.
"Qin Wei".
"Your servant is here."
"Don't you think Father seems a little different than before?"
Qin Wei clearly dared not accept Gu Qingyan's words, saying, "This servant is foolish and dull."
"They've become even more shameless."
Could it be that he was forced to do it by Wei Ruo?
"Why can he go in but I can't? I want to go in too!" Gu Qingyan strode in with great pride, but a short while later, Gu Lin threw him out without warning.
“If I find out about you once, I will throw you out.”
After being thrown to the ground, Gu Qingyan reacted for a moment before getting up and covering his buttocks.
He no longer thought his father was good!
......
Ever since Kui Ruo entered the court as an official, Gu Lin has practically been living in Zhaoning Palace, pestering Jiang Yu to the point of rolling her eyes.
"Ayu, this is a report sent by Zhuoyi. Can you take a look at it for me?"
"I'm just a..."
Before Jiang Yu could finish speaking, Gu Lin covered her mouth with his hand. "Ayu is meticulous and will only do better than me. Besides, it will be beneficial for Ayu to understand Da Ning in advance."
What are the benefits?
"As long as I am the King of Da Ning, you will be the Queen of Da Ning."
Finally, after Gu Lin's persistent pleading, Jiang Yu opened Da Ning's memorial. Jiang Yu carefully reviewed the memorial, while Gu Lin watched her intently.
A whistle blew, and Gu Lin quietly withdrew.
“My lord, the women’s academy you mentioned last time, Da Ning has begun to try to establish in Luo City,” Ling Hai said respectfully. “Many women have signed up.”
"We accept anyone who signs up."
Ling Hai disappeared quickly. Gu Lin glanced at the direction inside the house. Since A Yu wanted to do it, he would pave the way for her first.
In the past few days, Gu Qingyan only managed to find one hour to spend alone with Jiang Yu.
"Mother, Father doesn't even want me to see you anymore." Gu Qingyan rattled off Gu Lin's "crimes" like pouring out beans, "It's really too much!"
"Then Mother will not allow him to come tomorrow."
Jiang Yu's eyes crinkled with laughter, while Gu Qingyan's smile visibly stiffened. "It's not that he can't enter the palace, it's just that he can't keep monopolizing the Empress Dowager forever."
"Why did Ayan still allow him to enter the palace?"
“He is very good to Mother.” Gu Qingyan said in a low voice, lowering his head. “He is more capable than me, so he is better able to protect Mother than I am.”
He said that his mother was kind-hearted and thoughtful, but also ruthless and decisive, making her a better ruler.
"Every memorial from Da Ning that Mother Empress reviewed would be shown to me, and I would always learn something from it. That's how I came to realize how amazing Mother Empress was."
"Furthermore, he would prepare for anything the Empress Dowager wanted to do."
Gu Qingyan said, one sentence at a time, "Mother, when I grow up, I will treat you better than Father did."
Jiang Yu looked at Gu Qingyan, and suddenly, she realized something.
"Ayan, what makes a better ruler?"
"Like the Empress Dowager."
Gu Qingyan spoke without hesitation, and Jiang Yu's heart felt as if it had been struck by something.
When Gu Lin came to Zhaoning Palace again.
Jiang Yu pushed aside the memorial in front of her. "You not only want me to review the memorial, but you also want to use this method to teach Ayan how to be a ruler."
She knew that Ayan would listen to anything related to her.
Knowing that Ayan's murderous intent was growing, he worried that Ayan would go astray.
Therefore, they racked their brains to come up with this method.
"Gu Lin, is that so?"
