The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

The journey of three hundred miles took more than two hours at full speed.

This is the first time Gu Wangshu has been riding in a carriage for such a long time since he traveled to Helian Kingdom.

Although the carriage was covered with thick cotton mattresses, it still shook her body as if it was falling apart.

Fortunately, the journey went smoothly and we arrived in Yangzhou City safely at noon.

He Lianji originally thought that a wealthy lady like Gu Wangshu would be very squeamish, but he didn't expect that she remained silent all the way, which made He Lianji look at Gu Wangshu.

After the cavalry entered Yangzhou City, its speed immediately slowed down. Outside the carriage there was a lot of excitement with people buying and selling. Gu Wangshu knew that Yangzhou had arrived.

She breathed a sigh of relief. The bumpy ride was really tormenting her, especially since the ancient carriages didn't even have shock absorbers. The feeling was even more tiring than climbing a mountain.

Once the speed dropped, the carriage became less bumpy.

The cavalry moved forward slowly, and after about a cup of tea, they finally stopped.

Qiu Chi hurriedly lifted the car curtain and looked outside. He thought he had stopped in front of Lu Xingfu, but he didn't expect that the so-called location they were in was actually an alley.

Just when Qiu Chi looked confused, the horse's hooves clicked, and Helianji rode up to the carriage. Through the window, he looked down at Gu Wangshu and Qiu Chi in the carriage.

"get off."

Gu Wangshu glanced at He Lianji casually at first, then looked around and asked directly:

"How far is it from Lu Xing's mansion?"

"Get off the bus when I ask you to, there is so much nonsense." He Lianji ordered with a cold face.

Gu Wangshu did not move, sitting quietly in the carriage, his eyes fixed on Helianji.

She has always pretended to be dignified and generous, so that everyone except Gu family thought her personality was as gentle as that of most ladies.

At this moment, Gu Wangshu's face was expressionless and her expression was indifferent. Her aura was as cold as frost. Helianji could feel that she was angry.

"What are you looking at?"

"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince asked me to get out of the car to go to Lu Xing's mansion, right?"

"Otherwise? Since you are going to invite someone, you must be sincere in inviting them. We show respect to them by walking over."

Gu Wangshu was amused by him and sneered.

"respect?"

"Lü Xing, who is sixty-five years old, is respected as the great Confucian of Helian Kingdom at that time, and is deeply respected by Confucian scholars."

"But it is this kind of person who failed to recruit three times. He left the important officials of the court outside the door and left them alone in the cold wind for two hours."

"Respect is mutual. He doesn't know how to respect others, so why should I respect him?"

Helianji was speechless by Gu Wangshu, he hesitated for a long time and said:

"After all, he is a great Confucian of the time and is highly respected by Confucian scholars."

Gu Wangshu's eyes became colder and colder.

"You can tell at a glance whether he is a great scholar of the time or whether he is just seeking fame and reputation."

Under Gu Wangshu's strong request, the carriage continued to move forward. During the journey, Helianji did not forget to give Gu Wangshu instructions.

"We will arrive at the Lu Mansion in a while. Put away your eldest lady's temper and don't forget the purpose of our coming here."

Of course Gu Wangshu has not forgotten her purpose, but her purpose and Helianji's purpose may not be the same thing at the same time.

Soon, the cavalry stopped again, and this time they arrived at Lu Mansion.

Helianji didn't wait for Gu Wangshu, he got off his horse first and went straight to the door of the mansion.

The imperial door of Lu Mansion was wide open, and he was stopped by the concierge as he walked to the door.

When the concierge saw that Helianji was well-dressed, handsome, and possessed of an extraordinary spirit, he knew that he had an extraordinary background.

Looking behind him again, when he saw the cavalry and the soldiers in uniform uniforms, combined with the fact that important officials from the imperial court came to visit his master three days ago, he immediately guessed that Helianji must have come all the way from Kyoto.

The concierge said politely:

"I'm really sorry. It's inconvenient for my master to see guests. Please come back."

At this time, Gu Wangshu was helped out of the carriage by Qiu Chi.

The ride in the car took too long, and when I got off the bus, my legs felt a little weak. I was already feeling unhappy. When I heard the concierge's unabashed rejection, I could hardly suppress the anger in my heart.

Fortunately, Gu Wangshu has good concentration and will not let his emotions get out of control in front of others at any time.

She walked gracefully with lotus steps, and her temperament was unparalleled.

"It's not convenient for your master to see guests, but it's convenient for me to see him." As he spoke, Gu Wangshu came to Helianji's side.

When the concierge saw Gu Wangshu, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned and felt displeased.

"Where did this girl come from? She was so rude. This was the mansion of the great Confucian scholar at that time, not a place for you to run wild."

As he spoke, he waved to Gu Wangshu and Helianji like he was shooing away flies.

Helianji was furious.

"Gu Wangshu, you are so rude." They are here to invite people, not to be chased away. Why is she like this?

Gu Wangshu was too lazy to talk nonsense with He Lianji, who was as stupid as a pig, so he pushed him away and rushed behind him to recruit him.

"Chu Yu, take action."

Chu Yu is the captain of the guard.

Gu Wangshu gave the order, and without saying a word, he swarmed forward with the Gu family's soldiers.

The concierge was so frightened that his face changed.

"In broad daylight, are you going to commit robbery?"

Helianji was also startled by Gu Wangshu's sudden behavior.

"Gu Wangshu, you are crazy. We are here to invite Mr. Lu, not to kidnap him back to Kyoto."

Gu Wangshu looked at Helianji with cold eyes: "When did I say that I would kidnap him back to Kyoto?"

"Then what are you doing now?"

Gu Wangshu's cold light flashed: "Maybe he will be brought back to Kyoto. Of course, whether he is brought back or not depends on how he does it."

carry? ? ?

Helianji was confused. Lu Xing was a big man and not a little chicken. How could he mention it?

"Gu Wangshu, please calm down first, we will discuss this in the long run."

Gu Wangshu faced Helianji. Her eyes seemed to have magic power. When she fixedly looked at someone, Helianji's mind went blank for a moment.

Gu Wangshu's indifferent voice sounded in his ears.

"Every decision I make is calm. If His Highness the Fifth Prince is trying to protect me, then don't hinder me."

"You...how do you know I'm here to protect you?"

"Because I know yourself better than you do."

Helianji's simple answer was somewhat incomprehensible given his brain capacity.

The concierge was caught by the Gu family's soldiers. Just as he was about to shout, Gu Wangshu said:

"If you shout now, I will move your head the next moment."

The concierge was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth.

Helianji's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Gu Wangshu, are you going too far?"

Gu Wangshu ignored him and led his men straight into Lu Mansion.

The Lu Mansion was not big, and there were not many maids and servants. Those who wanted to report the news were all arrested.

After questioning, Gu Wangshu and others learned that many guests came to the Lu Mansion today, and Lu Xing was receiving guests in the living room.

Just like that, Gu Wangshu and He Lianji led a large group of people and headed straight to the living room.

The door of the living room was closed, but the chatter and laughter inside were very loud, and you could hear it clearly standing outside the door.

"Mr. Lu is indeed a great Confucian of the time. He does not seek fame and wealth, and is not afraid of power. His indifferent and elegant noble character is beyond our reach."

After this sound, someone else complimented:

"Mr. Lu has a loyal heart and is a role model for our generation. We will definitely follow your example and cultivate our minds and characters. Even if we can learn a few things from you, we will be lucky."

You could tell from the voices that there were many people inside, and everyone supported Lu Xing's refusal to be solicited by the court. They even felt that he openly challenged the authority of the court with a commoner. His courage was admirable.

Gu Wangshu said to Helianji:

"Now you know why I disrespected him."

Helianji gritted his teeth and became more and more annoyed as he listened.
