Chapter 380 A hasty decision
The old lady showed a satisfied smile on her face, turned to look at Lu Shengyuan, and said with a hint of ridicule: "Yuan'er, you have to work harder. Don't let it happen that you can't even compare to your own princess. That would be really embarrassing."
Hearing this, Lu Shengyuan's handsome face revealed a helpless smile. He looked at Lin Wanqing with eyes full of doting and admiration. "Mother is right. The princess is so capable, and naturally, your husband cannot fall behind. I will definitely work harder and strive to surpass the princess as soon as possible."
His voice was low and gentle, with a hint of teasing and doting.
Lin Wanqing's face flushed slightly, and she looked at Lu Shengyuan coquettishly.
"Your Highness, you are joking. Your Highness and I are husband and wife. Husband and wife are one. There is no such thing as excess or deficiency."
There was a mixture of shyness and confidence in her voice.
The sunlight pouring into the room casts two figures, which are extremely harmonious and beautiful depending on each other, and the room is warm.
The old lady was very pleased to see how loving the couple was, and a teasing look appeared on her face.
"Alright, alright, stop flattering each other." The old lady said with a smile, a hint of teasing in her tone, "You two are so loving, I'm jealous. When will you give me a big fat grandson to hug?"
Lin Wanqing's face flushed instantly when she heard this. She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Lu Shengyuan.
Lu Shengyuan smiled and covered up, "Mother, there's no need to rush this kind of thing. We will try our best."
Seeing how shy they were, the old lady stopped teasing them and just smiled and asked them to eat more.
After dinner, Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan said goodbye to the old lady and returned to their own courtyard together.
The sunlight shone obliquely on them, casting a long shadow. Lin Wanqing's face was still flushed. She secretly glanced at Lu Shengyuan, her heart pounding like a deer.
Lu Shengyuan seemed to notice her gaze. He turned to look at her with a gentle smile on his lips.
"Princess, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?" he asked softly, with a hint of concern in his voice.
Lin Wanqing's face turned even redder when she heard this. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at him. "No...it's okay. Maybe I just drank a little bit of wine and I'm a little drunk."
Lu Shengyuan looked at her shy appearance, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He reached out and gently held her hand.
Lin Wanqing's hand trembled slightly. She looked up at Lu Shengyuan, a hint of surprise and shyness flashing in her eyes.
"Your Highness..." she called softly, her voice as small as a mosquito.
Lu Shengyuan looked at her with a gentle smile on his face: "Princess, we have been married for some time now, and mother is looking forward to having a grandson soon. We should also work hard."
When Lin Wanqing heard this, her face instantly turned red, almost bleeding. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Lu Shengyuan.
"Your Highness, this kind of thing...how can such a thing be decided so hastily?"
Lu Shengyuan liked her shy look even more. He smiled gently and said, "Princess, you are right. We can't make hasty decisions on such matters. Let's plan it carefully."
His voice was low and gentle, intoxicating like a spring breeze.
Lin Wanqing raised her head and looked at the tenderness and doting in Lu Shengyuan's eyes. Her heart beat faster and her face felt as hot as fire.
The sunlight shines on them, as if coating the couple with a layer of golden glow. Their figures are stretched out, and they look particularly harmonious and beautiful leaning on each other.
A breeze blew by, bringing with it a faint scent of flowers. Lin Wanqing's face flushed slightly. She leaned gently on Lu Shengyuan's shoulder, and an unprecedented happiness and sweetness surged in her heart.
The sun shines obliquely, the breeze blows gently, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers. A loving couple stands quietly in the yard, enjoying this rare tranquility and happiness. Time seems to have frozen at this moment.
As night falls and the lights come on, the house becomes filled with beauty...
The next morning.
When Lin Wanqing woke up, there was no one around her, and she felt a little lost.
"Where is the prince?" she asked softly.
The maidservant beside her replied, "Princess, the prince went to the palace early in the morning, saying that he had important matters to attend to."
Lin Wanqing nodded. Although she felt a little disappointed, she also understood Lu Shengyuan's busyness.
She got up, washed, and prepared to start the new day.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door. Lin Wanqing frowned slightly and asked, "What happened outside?"
The maid looked nervous. She went out to inquire and came back to report, "Princess, your cousin Lin Wan'er is here and wants to see you."
Lin Wan'er?
Why is she here?
Lin Wanqing was slightly startled, then said, "Let her in."
After a while, Lin Wan'er hurried in. When she saw Lin Wanqing, an anxious look appeared on her face: "Cousin!"
"Wan'er, why are you here? Did something happen?" Lin Wanqing looked at her and asked.
Lin Wan'er panted slightly, her expression somewhat anxious: "Cousin, I heard about what happened to you recently. I was worried about you, so I came to see if you were okay."
Lin Wanqing felt warm in her heart when she heard this.
Although Lin Wan'er is usually a little willful, he still cares about her at critical moments.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Lin Wanqing said with a smile.
Lin Wan'er looked at her, a trace of guilt flashing in her eyes: "Cousin, I'm sorry. I was too willful before and didn't understand your difficulties. Now that I see you are happy, I feel relieved."
Lin Wanqing looked at her and sighed slightly. Now that he saw that she cared about him so much, the grudge in Lin Wanqing's heart disappeared.
"Silly girl, what are you talking about? We are a family." Lin Wanqing said, holding her hand.
Lin Wan'er felt a little relieved when she heard this. She raised her eyes and her gaze passed through the exquisite window lattice and fell on the blooming plum tree in the courtyard.
The cold wind makes the plum branches sway gracefully, and the red plum blossoms look even more beautiful against the backdrop of white snow.
She retracted her gaze and turned to look at Lin Wanqing who was sitting at the table. She said softly, "Cousin, I'm glad you're okay. However... after what happened today, you still have to be more careful in the future."
Lin Wanqing was sipping tea with her head down. Upon hearing this, she raised her eyes, a hint of confusion in her clear eyes.
"Be careful? Be careful about what?" Her voice was calm and indifferent, as if she didn't take today's crisis to heart.
Lin Wan'er lowered her voice, her expression somewhat solemn.
"Gu Shuangshuang will not let you go. She has always been narrow-minded and vindictive. Today, you made her lose face in front of everyone. She will definitely not let this go."
At this point, she paused, then continued, "Besides, she has the Prime Minister's Mansion backing her up, so her methods must be even more vicious."
When Lin Wanqing heard Gu Shuangshuang's name, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
She was naturally well aware of Gu Shuangshuang's personality and style of doing things, but even so, she did not show the slightest fear.
