Female-to-male: I live on farming

"Lanxi..."

Jinyang looked at Gu Lanxi's staggering back, his voice a little low and hoarse, not knowing what to say.

However, Gu Lanxi did not give her the chance to speak, and his figure quickly disappeared from her sight.

The next second, she pursed her thin lips tightly, her gaze fell on the visitor, an extremely dangerous storm brewing in her ink-black eyes, and the sharpness between her eyebrows seemed to have doubled.

"Tell me everything that happened."

The voice was full of anger.

"It is said that this matter was brought up by Concubine Li, who said that Your Highness was delayed in the past few years because of fighting in the war and suppressing the rebellion. Now that he is old, he should find someone who understands his feelings and keeps him company."

"Why did she suddenly bring up this matter?" Jinyang's voice was as cold as ice.

Although Concubine Li has an ordinary family background and a low rank, she is quite favored by her father. She would never bring up this matter for no reason. There must be someone behind the scenes instructing her.

"The prince and his men have found out that the Gu family has already been taken over by His Highness, so it is probably..."

Jin Yang snorted coldly, guessing what the prince was thinking, and continued in a cold voice: "They are just worried that I will be gathering strength in Liangzhou beyond their expectations, so they want to plant a spy in openly."

"Your Highness, it seems that Concubine Li has formed an alliance with the Queen."

"Not necessarily. They are temporarily allied for a common purpose. If she blocks the Queen's path in the future, I'm afraid neither side will show mercy." Jin Yang lowered his eyes to look at him and asked, "Do you know who they have chosen now?"

"Your Highness, this is the list of candidates nominated by all parties." The attendant bowed and presented it with both hands.

Jin Yang opened the envelope. After a few seconds, the white and slender hand holding the secret letter bulged, and the jawline was tense. He snorted coldly and said, "You all want to get involved. Do you think I'm dead?"

"Your Highness, His Majesty will definitely ask for your opinion before granting the marriage. I wonder what instructions His Highness has?"

Jinyang was silent for a moment, and a murderous look flashed across his eyes.

"I saw that they were too idle, so they dared to interfere in my affairs. I told Zhuifeng to start with the Ministry of War. Now that the position in the Ministry of War is vacant, they will not have time to pay attention to this side for the time being. Also," Jinyang paused, "take good care of these people on the list."

"They want to be my consort, but who knows if they have the luck to do so."

After giving instructions and arranging all the matters one by one, Jinyang finally had time to look for Gu Lanxi.

"Shishu, where is Lanxi?" Looking at the empty dormitory, Jinyang's heart suddenly panicked. His brows were furrowed, and he looked around anxiously.

"Your Highness..." The secretary lowered his head, his voice a little obscure: "Madam brought people back to the Gu Mansion."

Seeing Jinyang expressionless and silent, the secretary looked at him distressedly and comforted him softly, "Your Highness, this matter is not within your control. Madam is very understanding. Your Highness only needs to explain it well. Madam will not be angry with you."

"I... know." Jinyang sat on the Songhong Palace stool and slowly closed his eyes.

After a few breaths, she opened her narrow and long phoenix eyes again. They were deep and dark, and all her emotions had been restrained. She had turned into the Princess who never showed her joy.

"Prepare the car."

The secretary, who had been prepared for this, bowed and replied, "The carriage is waiting at the door."

After Gu Lanxi came to Liangzhou, she seldom came back to Gu Mansion. Now that she suddenly returned, the servants were very surprised, and the head of the family came back with a gloomy face.

"Sister Qiu Tong, this is the head of the family..."

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about, and be careful when doing things." Qiu Tong's face was not very good. Although she didn't know why the head of the family suddenly decided to return home, she could guess that the matter must be related to His Highness.

After all, ever since the old patriarch passed away, only the eldest princess’ affairs could make the patriarch lose his composure.

Seeing that the master of the house had locked herself in the house, Qiu Tong paced at the door worriedly, not knowing what to do.

"Sister Qiu Tong, the Princess is here."

As soon as the messenger finished speaking, the eldest princess hurried into the yard.

"Hello, Your Highness." Qiu Tong bowed hurriedly.

"Is Lanxi in there?" Jinyang waved his hand, motioning her to get up.

Their voices were not low, and given the soundproofing effect of the wooden door, Qiu Tong knew that the master of the house must have heard the noise at the door, but there was still no sound from inside.

For some people, not saying no means agreeing.

Qiu Tong had been with the master of the family for many years and could vaguely guess what he was thinking, so she immediately moved aside to make way.

"Lanxi, I'm coming in..." Jinyang knocked on the door gently, then slowly pushed it open.

The room was a little dark, with only a few rays of sunlight shining through the curtains onto the ground. Jinyang walked into the room cautiously and found Gu Lanxi sitting sideways on the bed with her back to her. Her long hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, fluttering gently in the breeze.

Jinyang took a deep breath, walked over slowly, sat sideways behind her and hugged her.

"Lanxi..." Jinyang felt the fragrance of the soft jade in his arms, held her slender waist, leaned his face on her shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "Are you not going to pay attention to me anymore?"

Gu Lanxi did not answer for a long time. There was silence.

Jin Yang brushed her hair gently and moved closer to her cold neck. The skin there was delicate and smooth. He couldn't help but rub his face against it gently and whispered, "I will take care of those things. You will always be the only one by my side."

The tone was gentle, affectionate, yet firm.

The breath she exhaled when she spoke had a cool fragrance, lingering around her fair and translucent earlobes. Gu Lanxi slightly tilted her head to look at her, with a hint of red in the corners of her eyes.

"I understand your pain, and I know this is not what you want."

Her tone was obviously low and a little aggrieved.

Jinyang's nose felt dry, and the arm holding her waist tightened again and again. She was so considerate, even if she was wronged, she would just hide away and digest it silently by herself.

Gu Lanxi raised his hand and stroked her cheek, caressing it gently, his voice choking with sobs: "Even if we were just a temporary solution at the time, we clearly had prayed to heaven and earth. In my heart, I am your wife, but in the eyes of the world, our relationship will never see the light of day."

Even though everyone in the Princess's Mansion tacitly regarded her as the hostess, even Qin Ke and Lu Youqing had guessed their relationship and were always respectful to her.

But to the outside world, she was merely the head of the Gu family who had taken refuge with the eldest princess.

"Lanxi," Jinyang stared at her quietly. Her bright eyes were rolling and shining. He grabbed her hand that was stroking her cheek and promised, "Don't worry. One day, I will announce to the world that only you, Gu Lanxi, are my wife. I will conquer the world as a betrothal gift to marry you."
