As the two reached the third floor, they heard a guard shout from Lou Dong, causing a stir among the people inside. Some were discussing Prince Xin, and it seemed his reputation was quite good, especially for someone so young. Gu Ping gathered bits of information from the conversations around him, piecing together what he could about Prince Xin.
"What business does he have at Wangyue Tower?" Zhang Chenyu asked, a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.
"Could it be that my father is considering marrying me off to Prince Xin? Ha, ha!" Gu Ping joked, not taking the matter seriously.
"That’s not entirely impossible," Bu Luo replied. "But it could also be Prince Yong."
"Huandaguo, why can’t I think of more conditions? What’s wrong with me?" Gu Ping continued to jest, shrugging his shoulders, which made Zhang Chenyu want to slap him to silence.
"Is that really how you feel?" Zhang Chenyu pointed angrily at Gu Ping, frustrated by his lack of seriousness. "Do you think I’m some sort of gentleman? Hmph."
Ha, ha!
Seeing Zhang Chenyu’s annoyed expression only made Gu Ping laugh harder. He realized he had been holding back his laughter for too long; it felt as if he had forgotten how to enjoy himself.
"If you keep laughing like that, you’ll ignore me completely and kick me out of your house to sleep on the streets."
"Please don’t! Stop laughing! Is that too much to ask?"
Gu Ping finally composed himself and leaned against the wall like the other visitors, as they noticed that Prince Xin had arrived on their floor.
I won't deny it; Prince Yong is indeed handsome, unlike his brother. I don't deny it. His older brother, if he were also that good-looking, I might just give in and save my father the trouble.
Gu Ping looked at the prince before him, regardless of his attire, which was exceptionally refined. He truly resembled what Gu Ping had described—handsome and striking, with thick brows and large eyes that most people could only dream of having. Not to mention those prominent ears; he perfectly matched the aesthetic of a man from the World of Mortals.
Was Prince Yong really that handsome? Gasping.
Hearing my words, Prince Yong couldn't possibly be an eyesore; no wonder I hesitated.
Gu Ping's unfinished words were abruptly interrupted by a sudden voice. Bu Luo was nearby, and Gu Ping's attempt to quiet down was not at all subdued; it was as loud as usual. If Prince Xin hadn't been so close, one might not have heard it at all.
Prince Xin turned his head and immediately spotted Zhang Chenyu standing with Gu Ping. The Grand Minister of Justice, while I don't deny it, was a significant official, but he was still just a fifth-rank court official who held sway over the capital. If there were truly matters to conceal from the Lu Kingdom Emperor, they would likely have to pass through the Grand Minister of Justice first.
So, the daughter of the Grand Minister of Justice was not like those idle princes without responsibilities. If there were any issues, they might very well seek her help. Besides, with Zhang Chenyu's lively personality—though I don't deny it—she was well-known for being spirited and somewhat arrogant, deeply etched in the hearts of the nobility in Ying City.
Oh, who would dare say his brother is ugly? Come on, sister-in-law! When will you come to play tomorrow? His brother hasn't seen you in a long time.
Gu Ping, enjoying the spectacle, jumped in eagerly: "No way! Look at me; our Tian Zai family has nothing going on. Just look at my appearance; it's truly embarrassing."
Upon hearing Gu Ping's words, I felt my face flush with embarrassment and didn't know what to say.
But seeing that expression on Gu Ping's face made it clear to him that Zhang Chenyu clearly had feelings for Prince Yong. However, he couldn't understand what had caused the rift between them that made Zhang Chenyu unhappy.
"May I ask which Wei Yuanzai you are referring to?"
Prince Xin, hearing Gu Ping's words, smiled and asked. Just a moment ago, someone had been saying how ugly Prince Yong was, and Prince Xin could hear it quite clearly. Bu Luo, at that time, did not expose Gu Ping because Zhang Chenyu was present. Cigarette Paper, upon seeing Gu Ping fall silent in accordance with his wishes, instantly understood Gu Ping's desire to distance himself from the earlier joke. Thus, he decided to let it go.
"I don't deserve such a grand title," he replied. "Xiao Gu is just a casual friend of Bu Luo and Zhang Qianjin."
