The princess slowly said, "When the old Marquis of Changning was still alive, he saved General Song, who was still a young general. Because of his life-saving grace, the two families had a verbal marriage contract.

"Later, Marquis Changning fell ill, and a fortuneteller said that a daughter of the Song family would bring prosperity to the Marquisate. The Marquis Changning's son knelt in front of the Song family's gate and asked General Song to fulfill his promise and marry his daughter to him.

"At that time, General Song had not yet been defeated, and the Song family was at its peak. Several princes wanted to marry Song's daughters."

Lou Shiling didn't know what happened back then. She was shocked and her eyes widened when she heard it.

"Can she marry a prince? Then General Song will marry his daughter to the Gu family just like that?"

Princess Taihua smiled and sighed, "Fate plays tricks on us. General Song may also feel that his achievements are too great to be tolerated by the emperor. He doesn't want to marry his daughter to the prince and get involved in the royal disputes.

"I thought that marrying my daughter to the Changning Marquisate, which had already gone downhill, would ensure her health. But before her daughter got married, he went to the Northern Frontier and was trapped there again.

"These two things went viral in Kyoto for quite a while."

Lou Shiling sighed when he heard this.

Princess Taihua smiled and said, "The Song family girl said that the treasure she bet on was not Yunzhong Mountain, but my favor?"

Lou Shiling nodded, "Exactly."

"Then I will give her this little favor," Princess Taihua said, and snorted coldly, "That Prince Gu is really outrageous! Send an invitation to the Song family girl, and invite her to the Spring Festival Banquet in two days."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Lou Shiling bowed and accepted the order.

……

Gu Qingshan solved the urgent problem and started tutoring Gu Huai.

Almost every day one could hear him scolding Gu Huai and Gu Huai crying.

He was annoyed by his son's stupidity.

He simply left his son to the literate follower and went out for a walk to take a breath.

He thought that he should make Gu Huai's identity clear, so that maybe he could send him to study abroad.

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a bright figure passing by from the other end of the corridor.

The bright yellow spring shirt is like the blooming jasmine, bright and beautiful. The slender waist is more like the willow branches in early spring, graceful and charming.

Gu Qingshan seemed to be mesmerized by the fleeting figure.

He stood there in a daze for a moment, then suddenly ran in the direction the figure left.

“Who is she? Who is she?” This was the only thought in Gu Qingshan’s mind.

He wanted to catch up with that beautiful figure and see who she was!

The person who appeared in the Gu family’s house must be someone we know, right?

How come he had never noticed before that there was such a graceful figure in the Gu family’s mansion… Such a beautiful figure was just like the saying that such a person should only exist in heaven and one can rarely see her in the world.

Now that he has seen it, he must get to know it.

Gu Qingshan ran so fast that his hair bun became loose, but he didn’t care.

He chased all the way to the second gate and saw two carriages parked there, but the bright yellow figure was nowhere to be seen.

Gu Qingshan seemed to have lost his soul, "This is..."

All the people in the carriage were Song Mingli's men.

Gu Qingshan said with a sullen face, "Where is the young lady going?"

"Princess Taihua has sent an invitation, inviting the young lady to attend the spring banquet at the princess's mansion." Zi Su replied.

Princess Taihua again! After giving away 80,000 taels, she really managed to curry favor with Princess Taihua!

Gu Qingshan suppressed the bitterness and jealousy in his heart.

He cleared his throat and said, "Did you see anyone else passing by here just now?"

Zi Su shook her head, "Others? I didn't see them. Did you see them?"

Several maids also shook their heads quickly, "I haven't seen it."

“Impossible, there is only this one road here, there is no way we could have gone the wrong way!” Gu Qingshan muttered.

Seeing that he was restless and lost his soul, Zi Su didn't want to talk to him any more, "The prince is fine, we are leaving."

She bowed and took her leave, then got into the carriage.

“Wait!” Gu Qingshan stared at the carriage with burning eyes, “Where’s Jingyou? I didn’t hear that the Wang family or Cui family’s car came to pick him up today?”

"My lord, the school is closed today, so the young master will go to the Spring Banquet with the young mistress." Zi Su said reluctantly.

Sure enough!

Gu Qingshan’s face lit up with joy, “Mingli, since you are bringing Jingyou, why not bring Huai’er as well!”

In the carriage, Song Mingli was about to refuse.

Jingyou, who was standing by, lifted the car curtain and said, "I heard that people from the Rui Palace will also go. Will Gu Huai go?"

Gu Qingshan: “…”

His face froze and he clenched his fists.

Jingyou lowered the car window curtain and said, "Let's go."

No, wait!

He just saw... that bright yellow color, as if it was sitting in the carriage!

But it was too fast! The car window curtain snapped down so fast that he couldn't see it clearly.

Song Mingli's carriage had already driven towards the gate.

Gu Qingshan stood there in despair... Was he seeing things? That pretty figure was right next to Song Mingli? Was she Song Mingli's maid?

Why didn't he notice it before?

Oh, by the way, Song Mingli said a while ago that she brought a new maid back from her parents' home? Is that the maid?

Gu Qingshan's heart was filled with excitement, and he secretly jumped for joy.

As long as we know that the woman is from Song Mingli's courtyard, it will be easy to deal with. She will come back sooner or later anyway, so there is no need to rush.

He looked down at himself and realized that he had run in such a hurry that his shoes were dirty and his hair was crooked. It was not a good time to meet him.

Gu Qingshan suddenly felt like he was in his first love, feeling both nervous and excited.

As a husband and a father, his heart seemed to have suddenly returned to his youth, feeling restless and expectant.

In the carriage, Song Mingli looked down at his bright yellow spring clothes and shook his head.

"This color is too bright. Mother is already a woman and a mother. It's not good for her to wear such ostentatious clothes." Song Mingli said to his son lovingly but helplessly.

Jingyou smiled and said, "I think it's good. Mother is so beautiful, she should dress up beautifully! Not to please others, but to please herself!"

Haha, the words she taught her son back then, her son is using to teach her today.

"Mom, do you like that old-fashioned color?" Jingyou asked with his head tilted.

Song Mingli originally wanted to say that married women should dress like that.

But she also thought that in her lifetime, she died in her previous life due to various "shoulds".

If I were to live my life over again, would I still use these "shoulds" to confine myself?

"I don't like it," Song Mingli said with a smile, "Jingyou is right. People should be brave and please themselves. Only in this way can they live comfortably."

Jingyou snuggled up to her with a smile, "Mom, you look so beautiful when you smile! Mom, please smile more!"

"Okay!" Song Mingli caressed his son's little head lovingly.

Lou Shiling and others were waiting to welcome the guests.

She was a first-rank female official beside Princess Taihua, so many noble ladies knew her.

She was seen looking around, as if waiting for someone.

The women couldn't help but discuss among themselves, "Are there any distinguished guests today? Lord Lou is here to greet them personally?"

"He may not be a distinguished guest. If he is, a separate path must be opened to avoid being bumped into. But he must be someone important to the princess."

As they were talking, Lou Shiling's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on her face, and she strode forward to meet him.

Everyone's eyes followed her.
