At this time, Gu Lingyue looked at Chang Xinshan and Long Yuxi walking towards them, and she stood up from Long Shang's legs.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to come too. If I had known you were coming, we would have come together and we wouldn't have been so bored on the road." Chang Xinshan said familiarly.

Long Yuxi smiled awkwardly, "Yuxi greets His Royal Highness Prince Jing and Fourth Sister-in-law."

Because she had received the beads from the heir king, Gu Lingyue, although not familiar with them, still smiled at them. Long Shang, with a dark face, responded, "Hmm."

Long Yuxi felt even more embarrassed. She pulled Chang Xinshan's hand and wanted her to leave, but Chang Xinshan pretended not to know. Long Yuxi was so angry that she glared at Chang Xinshan.

Chang Xinshan didn't care. Instead, she said to Gu Lingyue, "I misunderstood Fourth Sister-in-law last time. Please don't hold it against me. I apologize to you here."

As he said this, he actually bowed to Gu Lingyue.

Gu Lingyue didn't expect Chang Xinshan to apologize to her. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't mention the past anymore. I've forgotten it."

"Thank you, Fourth Sister-in-law, for your generosity." Chang Xinshan smiled, then looked at Long Shang, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Gu Lingyue guessed that she wanted to tell him something, but it was inconvenient for Long Shang to be here, so she said to Long Shang: "Go back and see if Yun Jin has brought back the food. I'll be back soon."

Long Shang nodded gently, "Don't take too long, come back soon."

"understood."

Chang Xinshan looked at Long Shang with surprise after he left, then looked at Gu Lingyue, "Fourth sister-in-law, how did you win back Prince Jing?"

Gu Lingyue asked with amusement, "Don't you think I was the one who got involved with him?"

Chang Xinshan shook her head and said affirmatively: "If everyone could gain Prince Jing's favor by simply pestering him, then the women in Prince Jing's mansion would probably be unable to let go."

Gu Lingyue smiled and said nothing more.

In fact, this is also the question she wants to ask: Why does Long Shang like her?

Chang Xinshan saw that Gu Lingyue didn't say anything, so she didn't continue to ask. She just glanced at the tent that Long Shang had entered and whispered, "Fourth sister-in-law, I'm telling you, you have to be more careful about Bai Qimeng."

"Bai Qimeng?"

Those young ladies from official positions thought the original owner was a fool and no one wanted to play with her. She was also unwilling to get along with those people, so Gu Lingyue didn't recognize many noble ladies in the capital.

"Her father is Minister Bai." Seeing that Gu Lingyue didn't know this person, Long Yuxi explained.

Gu Lingyue nodded, indicating that she understood. "Why should we be so wary of her?"

"She is planning on Prince Jing." Chang Xinshan said with disgust.

"She likes Long Shang?" Gu Lingyue asked in surprise.

Come to think of it, apart from the fact that everyone knows that he will die soon, Long Shang is excellent in other aspects. He is powerful and handsome. Which girl would not be moved?

However, if it was a few days ago, I would definitely say it doesn't matter, if she likes it, then so be it. But these two days, just when I decided to follow my heart, she came to snatch my man away. How can I tolerate this?

However, Gu Lingyue remained calm and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you."

Chang Xinshan said embarrassedly: "What are you thanking me for? I said I won't bully you in the future, and no one else should bully you in front of me."

Gu Lingyue found it funny. It turned out that she didn't bully her and even protected her.

She now thinks this girl is quite cute.

When Gu Lingyue and the other two said goodbye and returned to the tent, Yun Jin had already brought back the food, and Long Shang was sitting at the table waiting for her.

Yun Shu brought her some water and waited for her to wash her hands before she and Yun Jin and the others retreated. Only Gu Lingyue and Long Shang were left in the tent.

After Gu Lingyue sat down, she looked at Long Shang with a look of inquiry and doubt.

"What's wrong?" Long Shang picked up a piece of her favorite fried pig's tendon and put it in the bowl, and asked with a smile.

"I'm wondering what it is that you like about me?" Gu Lingyue asked directly her doubts. Although she said that she would let things take their course, there were still some things that needed to be figured out.

Long Shang paused his chopsticks and said in silence for a moment, "Because... you are unique."

Gu Lingyue curled her lips. Well, her question was in vain.

Not getting an answer, Gu Lingyue stopped asking questions and picked up her chopsticks to start eating. She was indeed a little hungry, and she ate quickly but not rudely.

Long Shang looked at Gu Lingyue who was eating with gusto, and felt a surge of sweetness in his heart, but also a little bit of loss.

This girl doesn't remember herself at all.

At this time, Yun Jin's voice came from outside, "Princess, Princess Yi has sent someone over."

Gu Lingyue had just put down her chopsticks. She looked at Long Shang and whispered, "Why did she send someone over here? Is she here to apologize as well?"

Don't blame her for thinking this way. Concubine Lu summoned her into the palace in the name of the Empress Dowager and apologized to her. In the end, she even watched a play.

Long Shang shook his head, "Probably not."

Gu Lingyue didn't want to guess anymore and simply said, "Who cares? Let him in and we'll know."

After that, he shouted from outside: "Let her in."

Soon, a maid came in and said, "This servant greets Prince Jing and Princess Jing."

Long Shang didn't even look at her. Gu Lingyue said, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Prince Jing, Princess Jing."

"Well, what does your master ask you to do here?" Gu Lingyue asked.

"Princess Jing, my princess said she was bored and asked you to come over to play mahjong."

"But I don't know how to play mahjong, do I?"

"Can't we learn? We're just sisters-in-law playing around, nothing big."

As soon as Gu Lingyue's voice fell, a voice came in, and then a woman lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.

Gu Lingyue frowned when she saw that the person coming was Prince Yi's wife Yang Xin.

Why did this person just barge in without saying hello? No wonder she is married to Long Fu.

"Second sister-in-law." Gu Lingyue called out.

Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Even though she is rude, you can't kick her out.

Long Shang was somewhat unhappy that Princess Yi had interrupted his and Gu Lingyue's private meal, and he remained silent with a cold face.

Princess Yi looked at the food on the table and knew that she had been rash, but usually Long Shang would just nod at her as a greeting, so she didn't care.

"Are you guys having dinner?" Princess Yi said with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't be too late to leave after you finish your meal."

"But I really don't know how to play Mahjong, and I'm afraid of spoiling the fun for my sisters-in-law." Gu Lingyue said.

“What are you afraid of? Your Third Sister-in-law is not doing well either.

In the past, we had the... eldest sister-in-law, and every time she came, we could make up a table, but this year there are only three of us but one is missing.

When I came here, I was thinking about who to invite to sit at the table with us this year. Let's ask those young ladies from aristocratic families. You know, they won't dare to beat us when they see us. Wouldn't that be like asking for money? Let's ask my mother and the others. As the younger generation, we won't have enough fun playing in front of them.

But now, it's good. This year, you're here, and we can sit at the same table again. Your third sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law are still waiting in my tent. You can't refuse me this favor, or you'll be laughed at by them later."

Having said that, Princess Yi couldn't help but steal a glance at Long Shang. Seeing that Long Shang still had an indifferent expression, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, then I'll... give it a try?" Gu Lingyue said with an embarrassed expression.

"Then let's go quickly, otherwise, the two of them will come here soon."

Gu Lingyue had no choice but to say a few words to Long Shang and leave with Princess Yi.
