Throughout the meal, Lin Sui lowered his eyes slightly, but it was still difficult to ignore the fiery glances from the other side.
Because His Highness the Crown Prince was present, Gu Jing restrained himself a lot. According to previous words, he would have already peeled the shrimps for his wife to eat.
After finishing the meal, the prince saw that it was getting late and he had to go back to explain to the queen what happened today.
Therefore, the prince directly took Lin Sui, who was reluctant to leave, downstairs.
"Second Young Master Gu, it's getting late, so Mingzhu and I will go back first." The prince walked to the carriage and turned around and said.
Gu Jing stood in front of the two of them, thinking about this farewell, fearing that it would be at least more than a month before she could see her daughter-in-law again.
So Gu Jing had the courage to call Lin Sui in front of her uncle when they were about to get on the carriage.
"Wait, Suisui...sister."
Lin Sui lowered her hand holding the hem of her skirt. When she heard this, Sister Sui Sui's cheeks turned slightly red and she turned around to look at Gu Jing in confusion.
"What's the matter with Second Brother Gu?"
Gu Jing took out a hairpin from her arms and handed it to Lin Sui.
"This is the style I drew myself and let the shop below print it. Don't dislike it."
Lin Sui took the jade hairpin from Gu Jing's hand. The head of the hairpin was carved into the shape of a hibiscus bud. The petals were distinct, full and round. The stamen was a ruby, exuding a charming luster. There were five strips hanging on the hairpin. The slender tassels sway gently in the wind, shining with crystal clear light under the sunlight.
The more Lin Sui looked at the hairpin, the more she liked it, especially when she heard Gu Jing say that the hairpin was drawn by him personally.
"Thank you, Brother Gu. I like this hairpin."
Seeing the undisguised love in Lin Sui's eyes, Gu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene suddenly changed, with Lin Sui looking at the hairpin happily, and Gu Jing looking at Lin Sui with a smile in her eyes.
The prince looked at this scene and suddenly felt that he was a little redundant.
"Ahem, Mingzhu, we should go back." The prince finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted.
"Oh, oh okay." Lin Sui's eyes left the hairpin and when he was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered something and turned around again.
"Gu, second brother Gu, this is for you." Lin Sui handed over a purse.
Gu Jing took the purse and looked at it carefully. Then she found that the stitching of the purse was a bit rough. It couldn't be made by the embroiderer in the palace, so it could only be...
"Is this embroidered by sister Suisui herself?" Gu Jing said in surprise.
Lin Sui blushed and lowered her eyes, not daring to look into Gu Jing's eyes.
"Yes, yes, Brother Gu, don't dislike it."
"No, I like it very much." Gu Jing said happily with a smile in her eyes.
Hearing this, Lin Sui raised his head and met Gu Jing's smiling eyes.
The two stood in front of the carriage, looking at each other with smiles in their eyes.
The prince felt that his teeth were about to fall out because of the soreness.
"Okay, if you have anything to say, let's wait until after the scientific examination." The prince couldn't help but put his arm around Lin Sui's shoulders and pushed him onto the carriage.
Lin Sui turned around reluctantly.
"Sister Suisui, please wait for my good news." Gu Jing waved to her.
Lin Sui felt relieved and followed the prince into the carriage.
"Thank you, Brother Chen." Gu Jing thanked the prince with her hands in hand.
"It won't be too late to thank me when you are named on the gold medal list." The prince waved his hand and got into the carriage.
Gu Jing watched the two people's carriage leave, then picked up little Gu Yu and headed towards her carriage.
"Second brother, are Sister Suisui going to be Yu Yu's sister-in-law?" Little Gu Yu obediently hugged her brother's neck and asked in a sweet voice.
"Oh? How did Yuyu know, but my brother has to pass the Jinshi examination so that we Yuyu can have a sister-in-law." Gu Jing looked at the little one in her arms and said in surprise.
"Humph, second brother, don't look at Yuyu as a child. Yuyu knows everything!" Little Guyu raised her head and said arrogantly.
Gu Jing couldn't stop laughing, and reached out to rub little Gu Yu's head.
"Second brother, you have to work hard. Yu Yu likes Sister Suisui and wants Sister Suisui to be her sister-in-law." Little Gu Yu said firmly.
"Okay, no problem." Gu Jing hugged her sister and got into the carriage.
On the other side, inside the carriage returning to the palace.
Lin Sui took the hairpin given by Gu Jing and couldn't put it down, with a sweet smile on her face.
The prince looked on and his teeth were sore. At this moment, he missed his princess. Unfortunately, the princess had just returned to her parents' home and would not be back for a few days.
"Okay, it's just a hairpin. Is it necessary to look at it for so long?"
"Brother Emperor smiled like a fool when he took the purse embroidered by his sister-in-law himself. He still had the nerve to accuse me." Lin Sui exposed the prince mercilessly.
"Hey, you..." The prince was speechless and had nothing to say, okay, don't say anything to anyone.
Back at the palace, Lin Sui had a conversation with the queen and then returned to her palace.
"Call the prince." The queen looked at Lin Sui's happy back and could roughly guess what happened today.
After a while, the prince came.
"Mother," the prince saluted.
"Tell me what happened today." The queen motioned for the prince to sit down.
After the prince sat down, he told in detail what happened after meeting Gu Jing today.
"Well, it seems that Gu Er is quite good. Since he is also interested in Mingzhu and made a promise in front of you, I can rest assured." After listening to the prince's words, the queen nodded with satisfaction.
"Indeed, I also think that Gu Er is a good candidate." Although the prince was dissatisfied with his sister getting married so early, he was still very satisfied with Gu Jing.
"Okay, you can go back. The Crown Princess has returned to the palace."
As soon as he heard that the Crown Princess had returned to the palace, the Crown Prince stood up happily.
"Yes, mother, I will take my leave."
"Your Majesty, the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess is so good." Aunt Hua said with a smile from the side.
"He chose this Crown Princess himself. After the relationship fell into place, I just hope that the Crown Princess can get pregnant as soon as possible, otherwise the court officials will ask the Crown Prince to have a concubine again." The Queen said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Madam, this Crown Princess is blessed." Aunt Hua comforted her.
Back at the palace, Lin Sui went straight into the bedroom.
Nian Xia and the others didn't have time to say anything when they saw their princess entering the bedroom. They immediately thought that the princess was in a bad mood and immediately grabbed Xichun who was about to follow her.
"Xichun, what's going on? Why did the princess enter the dormitory as soon as she came back? Could it be..." The three of them looked in the direction of the dormitory worriedly.
"Don't worry, the princess is very happy." Xichun said with a smile.
"Happy? Xichun, tell me quickly, what happened today?"
"Is this Second Young Master Gu really as handsome as everyone says?"
"Is this Second Young Master Gu really talented?"
"Stop, stop, listen to me, today..." Xichun raised his hand to interrupt a few people and told them in detail what happened today.
Nian Xia and the other three listened attentively, for fear of missing something.
