The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

"Come in." Gu Changan said to the door.

Qin Wenlan saw a man in his thirties come in with a servant carrying a tray. He said to Gu Changan with a smile on his face, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"Brother Yan, there's no need to be so polite." Gu Changan said, and then introduced Yan Rujun, "This is my future princess, Miss Qin."

Yan Rujun quickly turned around and bowed to Qin Wenlan, "Miss Qin, how are you?"

Qin Wenlan also said, "Brother Yan, there's no need to be so polite."

Gu Changan calls the other person "Brother Yan", which shows that this person is someone he trusts very much. How could she be so arrogant?

Yan Rujun asked the people behind him to place the dishes on the tray on the table one by one, and continued with a smile: "This is our local specialty. If Miss Qin wants to eat it in the future, just come directly."

"It's my great pleasure to be able to taste the delicious food from Brother Yan's place!" Qin Wenlan said with a smile.

Yan Rujun smiled happily, "The prince finally found someone he likes. This is really exciting!"

Qin Wenlan couldn't help but laugh and didn't know how to continue the conversation.

After Gu Changan talked to Yan Rujun for a few words, he reminded him to visit Nanny Yan in the palace more often when he had time, and then sent him out.

Turning around and looking at Qin Wenlan, he said, "Brother Yan is a good person in every way, except that he doesn't know how to get along with others."

Qin Wenlan agreed with this, but he would not believe it completely. The person who could be arranged here by Gu Changan must have some unknown abilities.

"Let's eat quickly while it's hot. Take a look at these dishes and see if you like them. They are all signature dishes here!"

"Well, not bad, not bad, refreshing and not greasy, melts in your mouth, it is indeed very good." Qin Wenlan took a few bites of the dish and smiled.

Gu Changan used the chopsticks beside him to pick up other dishes for Qin Wenlan and put them into the bowl, and said to her: "The kitchen chef here came from the imperial kitchen.

Thanks to their excellent cooking skills, the dishes they make are also very famous in the capital, but few people know that this is related to me.

The original purpose of opening this restaurant was to gather information. If you have any questions in the future, you can come here."

Qin Wenlan's heart skipped a beat, but he kept a smile on his face, "I appreciate your kindness, Your Highness!"

But she wouldn't come here, and besides, the information she wanted could be found out by her own people.

Favors, if you do too much favors, it's hard to repay them! Besides, she doesn't need this information, does she?

After the two finished their meal, they did not need to take the carriage anymore, but walked slowly towards Nanhu Lake.

The breeze blew on his face, and the shadows of the trees overlapped. Qin Wenlan stared into the distance, feeling a little confused about what day it was.

She rarely had such leisure and relaxing moments, as she had always been in a world of lies and temptations in her previous life.

When I came back today, I was busy living a good life. Then when I returned to Qin Hou Mansion, I was busy dealing with all the conspiracies and tricks.

If she hadn't obtained the space and the opportunity to practice in this life, would she still be subject to the conspiracies and schemes of the Qin and Yu families as in her previous life?

"You are going to the palace for the flower viewing banquet. Did you know about this?" Gu Changan turned his head to look at Qin Wenlan. It was obviously just an ordinary leisure time, but he saw emptiness in her eyes.

I was feeling down, so I just found a topic to break the shackles of the moment.

"I don't know."

Following Qin Wenlan's response, the wind around them seemed to become smooth again, making people feel comfortable and in a good mood.

"But now that I've heard what Your Highness said, I understand!" Qin Wenlan smiled. "Thank you, Your Highness, for letting me know in advance. This way, I can prepare early!"

"However, there are many unknowns in the palace. Don't be too careless. This is very different from the last time we entered the palace. Back then, we had just made our engagement, but now we are waiting for the imperial decree to finalize the marriage."

"Just let those evil spirits come at me." Qin Wenlan sneered.

Gu Changan listened to her domineering tone, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He said softly, "Are you really not afraid?"

"Haha, isn't it a little late to ask these questions now? We already understood this when we first discussed our cooperation. Besides, there are so many things in this world that can frighten people!

If you are afraid and stop moving forward, it would be better not to enter the palace at all."

In my previous life, I was so stupid that I was controlled by others. If I am still so stupid in this life, I might as well not live.

"Well said." Gu Changan responded with a smile, "If there really is someone so foolish as to do something stupid at the flower viewing party, feel free to do whatever you want. I'll be there to back you up!"

"Is it true that someone is looking for trouble?"

"It's hard to say, maybe! Anyway, there are many people who don't like me."

"Oh, is it the Wen family and Gu Yunzhou?"

"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with being cautious."

"Yeah, I got it!"

However, they are not the only ones who need to be careful.

"There are too many things going on in the palace, and they are too complicated. I can't explain them all to you right away, so I can only talk about some important people and events first.

Last time, because they knew you were just a newcomer, they wouldn't notice you. After all, an unmarried woman isn't considered a member of the royal family yet. But now that we're talking about marriage, this time...

There were four concubines under Empress Wen, and above them was an imperial concubine.

He is also an old conspirator entrenched in the deep palace.

The Imperial Concubine's maternal family, the Li family, is also a prestigious noble family in the capital. In the harem today, the only Imperial Concubine Li is the woman second only to Empress Wen.

Even Concubine Shu has not been able to avoid her schemes and plots over the years, and she has always narrowly escaped them, so you must not take it lightly."

"I'm an orphan with no power or influence. What could she possibly do to me?"

Qin Wenlan sneered, "Besides, I'm not a coward who can be manipulated. If she dares to plot against me, don't blame me!"

She paused here and turned her head to look at Gu Changan, "Didn't the prince just say that he would take care of everything?"

"That's because I'm afraid you'll get flustered, but you still have to be careful. I'm afraid I won't be able to cover it in time. After all, my father isn't as easy to fool as he looks.

The Imperial Concubine knows the Emperor's temperament very well. If she can grasp it accurately, how can you be her opponent?

Whether you can provide a safety net depends on the situation. You can't let two people fall into the abyss together. That would be more trouble than gain."

Qin Wenlan smiled, "I feel relieved to have your words, my Lord."

"You and I are one, how can we let others bully us?"

Qin Wenlan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Really? It turns out the prince already considers me one of his own!

Qin Wenlan could only make some jokes.

In fact, I was thinking that I had seen some of their secrets and dirty tricks in my previous life.

When the two people approached the edge of South Lake, there was already a huge crowd of people there. They could only shuttle through the crowd and would be squeezed out if they were not careful.

Fortunately, the wheelchair had a large enough range and other people did not dare to get too close, so Qin Wenlan walked safely on one side.

Qin Wenlan felt her palm suddenly become warm. Prince An had already held her little hand tightly. Although Gu Changan was sitting in a wheelchair, he was actually walking in sync with her.

She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Changan.

He looked her straight in the eye, "I'm afraid of getting separated from you."

"Oh~"

Qin Wenlan did not refuse this kindness. After all, there were so many people that even if they were not separated, it would still be very troublesome.

I just feel a little unnatural when someone holds my hand like this.

In fact, she could also cast a remote formation, but she felt it was unnecessary.

"cousin."

Qin Wenlan is now very sensitive to the name of cousin. When he suddenly heard such a name, he quickly looked towards the source of the voice.

I saw two familiar faces not far away. They were also people I knew in the palace.

One is Nangong Yu and the other is Gu Minglan.

"Men and women shouldn't touch each other, why are you holding on like this?"

As he spoke, he walked towards Qin Wenlan and the others, "Miss Qin, Prince An, it's great that you're here."

Gu Changan's face looked ugly.

Nangong Yu didn't care about the person with an icy face and just squeezed through the crowd.

Gu Minglan, who was following behind, was also wearing a light blue dress today. Her originally pretty face was now full of annoyance.

However, when he saw Qin Wenlan and Gu Changan, he instantly became like a face-changing doll.

"Sister Qin, cousin, you are here too!"

Gu Changan pulled Qin Wenlan to the back of the wheelchair and looked at Gu Minglan coldly.

Gu Minglan shuddered as she saw Gu Changan and slowly moved towards Nangong Yu, "Cousin, my cousin is so fierce!"

Nangong Yu responded unhappily, "Hey, are you still afraid?"
