Female-to-male: I live on farming

"Feel sorry."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lanxi glanced at her and asked angrily, "What are you apologizing for?"

Jinyang could tell that there was no blame in her tone, but instead a deep feeling of heartache.

"I just hope you won't pretend to be strong all the time. You are the majestic princess outside, but in front of me, I hope you can just be yourself and relax for a while without being so tense all the time. Laugh if you want to laugh, and don't laugh if you don't want to laugh."

Sure enough, the next second, Gu Lanxi reached out and touched Jinyang's face, her fingers constantly stroking her soft and smooth skin, her movements light and gentle.

She really felt sorry for her. Jinyang lost her mother at a young age, and the almighty Emperor Jing also disliked her. It can be said that she had never experienced the love of her relatives since she was a child. Growing up in the strict court etiquette, she learned to be hypocritical and disguise herself since she was a child.

She was gifted and grew up to be a brilliant woman. Until she became the prestigious Princess of the Great Yan Dynasty, no one knew how much suffering and pain she had endured behind the scenes.

Only after meeting Gu Lanxi did she finally realize the warmth and care that ordinary people should have in their lives.

But she was used to carrying everything on her own, and swallowing all the pain silently. She was used to it, but when Gu Lanxi saw her like this, he felt extremely distressed.

She hoped that Jinyang could rely on her appropriately. Maybe she was not strong enough to protect her, but she hoped that she could at least relax a little.

After hearing Gu Lanxi's tender words, Jinyang was rarely silent for a long time.

The candlelight shone brightly, and the orange flame flickered slightly in the silent room.

Gu Lanxi didn't know how much time had passed. She only knew that Jinyang held her hand tightly again and again, and then suddenly loosened his grip.

At the same time, her chest relaxed. Gu Lanxi heard her take a deep breath and her voice returned to its usual calm tone.

"I do have mixed feelings. I should have known this a long time ago, and I had prepared myself mentally. But when I actually received his imperial edict, I still felt disappointed."

This "he" naturally refers to Emperor Jing.

Even though she thought she had no family ties with Emperor Jing and had long given up on having any expectations of him, when the reality came, she felt disappointed, sad, and hated him.

All kinds of emotions were mixed in, making her heart mixed and extremely complicated.

Gu Lanxi knew that it was useless for her to say anything now, so she just hugged her silently, gave her a warm embrace, and let her know that she was not alone.

She will always be there for her.

How could Jinyang not sense Gu Lanxi's feelings? He smiled softly in her warm embrace.

That smile was like the melting of a glacier, bringing all things back to life. The silence that had been hidden in her eyes also quietly dissipated.

"Although I have never complained about the unfairness of fate, but..." Jin Yang paused here, then smiled and said, "Meeting you is my luckiest thing. Fate has never treated me unfairly. If the loneliness of the past twenty years was just to meet you, I think it is worth it."

Seeing that her mood had returned to a high, Gu Lanxi also relaxed, pinched her earlobe, and praised: "That's good, keep it up!"

The two chatted for a while, and then they lay on the bed facing each other.

Jinyang closed his eyes, sniffed the faint fragrance coming from the person in front of him, and whispered: "The fragrance on you today is different from before."

Jinyang was the most familiar person with the scent of Gu Lanxi. Although she often had a faint fragrance on her body in the past, it had never been as strong as it was today.

"It was the hand cream and face cream that Qin Ke sent me two days ago. He opened a store in Cangwu and is planning to open branches in other places as well. He came to ask me for advice." Gu Lanxi also closed her eyes and replied calmly.

Jinyang sniffed the fragrance in the air again. The scent was delicate and long-lasting, as if it was woven from countless delicate notes. It had fresh fruity aroma, rich rose scent, and a hint of vanilla, blending together with rich layers.

"This scent suits you very well."

Gu Lanxi opened her eyes, curved her eyebrows, and said, "What he developed is indeed very useful. I heard from the steward that as soon as his skin care products came out, they were swept away by the local ladies. Fortunately, my Gu family's main business is not in this area, otherwise he would have taken away all the business."

"He's been acting out of character lately."

Gu Lanxi chuckled and explained, "In his words, he doesn't care about how much the family fortune is, but now that he has a daughter, he has to save more for her."

Jin Yang also burst out laughing when he heard this: "He knew it was a daughter before the child was even born."

"I heard from Lu Youqing that he really wants a precious daughter, and he's just short of burning incense and praying to Buddha."

"He is really different." Jin Yang sighed. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably want a son to carry on the family line.

"Actually..." Gu Lanxi lowered her eyebrows, her eyes fell on the corner of her pajamas, and her voice dropped again: "Have you ever thought about the issue of children?"

Ever since Lu Youqing became pregnant, this idea has been in Gu Lanxi's mind. If she is with Jinyang, it means that she will never be able to have her own child.

Jin Yang was so smart that he could guess what Gu Lanxi was thinking after hearing her say that. He took her into his arms and said, "Speaking of the child issue, I should be the one to say sorry. Otherwise, you could have lived an ordinary life and had your own children, instead of having to work so hard and taking every step in danger like you are doing now."

And the future of life and death is unpredictable.

"Okay, none of us are allowed to say such things again." Gu Lanxi put her hand over her mouth. She didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic. They both felt the same way.

"What I mean is, if you want a child, you can adopt one from a branch of the family."

"It's too early to talk about this now. The great cause has not been accomplished yet and everything is still unstable." Jinyang did not think that far ahead.

But she understood Gu Lanxi's concerns. The fight for the throne was extremely dangerous. The people who followed her would not only consider her ability and power, but also her successor.

If she unfortunately died, unless she was completely defeated, then someone would have to inherit everything she had.

Strictly speaking, the more heirs she has, the better, so that even if one of them dies, it won't affect the foundation.

But Jinyang felt that it was too early. Currently, only a few of her confidants knew that she wanted to compete for that position. By the time others knew her purpose, the war would begin.

But Jinyang vaguely felt that that moment was about to come.
