Gu Sang looked at Li Rong with a smile.
Li Rong looked at Gu Sang and smiled, saying, "Gu Sang, I think we're all fine now. I really am!"
"Yes!" Gu Sang smiled, "I know, I already know everything, and we really are all fine now!"
“Gu Sang!” Li Rong looked at Gu Sang, “Gu Sang, I really do know now, I really, really know now…”
"I'm glad you know!" Gu Sang said happily, looking at Li Rong beside her, her eyes filled with love.
Back then, she transmigrated into this body buried in the ground. If Li Rong hadn't dug her out, she wouldn't be who she is now.
Back then, Li Rong was still a child, and he was already quite handsome back then. Now, he has grown into an incredibly handsome man.
If any maidservant were to see Li Rong, she would probably blush uncontrollably.
The jolting of the carriage woke Li Rong from his deep sleep. He noticed Gu Sang's gaze and asked, "What's wrong, Gu Sang? Is the driver's skill bad?"
“No, it has nothing to do with the coachman. I was just thinking that you looked really cool when you demonstrated your sword skills to the Emperor,” Gu Sang said to Li Rong, her face slightly flushed.
"Of course, but you are also very beautiful. I think I should learn from my master." Li Rong's expression suddenly changed, and her voice lowered.
"What's wrong, Li Rong?" Gu Sang asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Alas, everyone in the Li family is useless, but Master is different. Not only is his martial arts superb, but he is also exceptionally intelligent,” Li Rong sighed.
After hearing Li Rong's words, Gu Sang didn't know what to say.
Actually, her parents weren't useless either. Although they weren't as capable as Li Rong's father, they were still quite competent. It was just that Li Rong's father was so outstanding that he was envied.
"By the way, I heard you're quite close to my master's son. Are you my master's disciple?"
Gu Sang shook his head and said, "I am not familiar with your master's son. I can only be considered an acquaintance, not your master's disciple."
"Oh." Upon hearing that he was not Master Li Rong's apprentice, Li Rong smiled again. He looked at Gu Sang and said, "My master said that I look like him when he was young, so he told me to learn more from you. I hope you can help me in the future and become your apprentice."
Gu Sang nodded and said, "Don't worry, since you're the one I've chosen, I will naturally do my best to assist you."
Hearing Gu Sang's words, Li Rong's eyes reddened. He looked at Gu Sang and said, "Really? You're not lying to me?"
Gu Sang nodded heavily and said, "I would never lie to you. Besides, you are the person I have chosen now, so of course I will help you. Moreover, you are so handsome and dashing. I believe you will definitely become a grandmaster in the future. Don't forget to take me as your disciple when that time comes."
"Haha, my master said I look like him when he was young. You said I look like him, so it seems I really do look like him!" Li Rong's hearty laughter rang out.
Gu Sang also laughed and said, "Not only do you look like your master, but your personality is exactly the same as your master's. You are really interesting."
"Hehe, you're the same. But I'm most worried about you right now, since you've only been here a short time and don't know many of the rules yet." Li Rong said apologetically to Gu Sang. "If you need anything, just ask. As long as it's within my means, I'll get it for you. Please don't be shy!"
Gu Sang smiled and said, "I don't need your help, I can handle it myself."
Li Rong glanced at Gu Sang, but didn't say anything more. She just looked out the window, lost in thought.
After the carriage reached the outskirts of the city, it stopped, and a luxurious sedan chair appeared in front of it.
"Li Rong!" Li Rong's mother called out from in front of the sedan chair, "Aren't you going to get down and greet the emperor?"
"Mother, you go back first. I'll come find you after I've finished my business," Li Rong said to her mother.
Mother Li frowned and said, "No, you must get out of the sedan chair with me right now. I don't care, I won't go back today if you don't get out of the sedan chair."
Gu Sang glanced at Li Rong and said, "Li Rong, you should go down. After all, your mother is doing this for your own good."
"Okay, fine." Li Rong agreed, lifted the carriage curtain and jumped down. She walked to the side of the carriage, bowed to the people inside, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."
"Rise," a woman's voice came from inside the sedan chair. "I heard you have a house in the suburbs and I was just about to go and take a look."
“Your Majesty, my residence is rather remote, and I’m afraid it might disturb you,” Li Rong said.
"It's alright, you lead the way, we'll set off now," the Empress said indifferently.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Li Rong replied.
The Empress's palanquin was very spacious, with enough room for four or five people to sit.
The Empress sat in the sedan chair, while Li Rong stood in front of it as the sedan chair headed towards the suburbs.
After a long journey, the sedan chair finally arrived at its destination.
The sedan chair stopped, and Li Rong said to the Empress, "Your Majesty, this is my residence."
The Empress's voice came from inside the sedan chair: "Hmm, this residence has a rather antique feel, and the furnishings inside are quite nice."
Hearing the Empress praise her residence, Li Rong was somewhat excited and said, "This residence was built by an old servant. My grandfather and his granddaughter lived here back then. When my parents were still alive, they said something to me. They both felt that I was like their child, and I have felt that way all these years."
After saying that, Li Rong looked at the Empress and said, "Your Majesty, if you like it, I will give it to you."
"No need. I like this residence very much, but it's not a place for me to stay. You can leave it to your future wife," the Empress said indifferently.
Hearing the Empress's words, Li Rong felt somewhat disappointed. He couldn't help but think that he might never be able to marry and have children in this life, and that he might always be an orphan.
Seeing Li Rong's appearance, Gu Sang felt a little sad. She gently tugged at Li Rong's sleeve and said, "Li Rong, don't be discouraged. One day, you will meet a girl who truly loves you, and the two of you will grow old together."
"Yes, thank you, Gu Sang." Li Rong said with some sadness, "I know that in this life, it will be very difficult for me to marry a woman who loves me. I just want a simple and happy marriage, but now I also understand that it is very, very, very difficult to marry a woman who truly loves me!"
