After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 119 Can you come with me to see my parents?
The emperor now really wanted to take the gift back; it was the first time he had ever regretted giving something away.

Fang Lingchu cursed inwardly, but outwardly she still respectfully took the items and stood up, saying, "Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty."

Seeing Fang Lingchu's indifferent expression, Emperor Chongde couldn't help but say, "My dear Fang, rise. This glass cup is worth ten thousand taels of silver. Be careful."

When Fang Lingchu heard that the item in her hand was worth ten thousand taels of silver, she almost gave up.

He couldn't maintain his facial expression any longer.

"Your Majesty, how much would you like this cup for?"

Emperor Chongde proudly declared, "Ten thousand taels of silver."

Fang Ling almost screamed when she heard the number.

Fortunately, she controlled herself and did not behave improperly in front of the palace.

[Guagua, His Majesty is such a sucker! This piece of junk costs ten thousand taels of silver! What could he possibly do with that money? It's not even as nice as some blue and white porcelain!]

The system suggested, "Is it possible that scarcity drives up the price? After all, the art of glassmaking isn't as sophisticated in this era, and the success rate is relatively low, which is why... it's so expensive."

Although the system also felt that it was ridiculously expensive, such a small thing costing so much money.

But she dared not speak up, fearing that she might add fuel to the fire and cause Fang Lingchu to do something rash, which would be a loss for her.

Fang Lingchu forced a smile, saying, "I will keep it well, Your Majesty. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Seeing Fang Lingchu's pained expression, Emperor Chongde happily sent her away.

Upon arriving at the door, Fang Lingchu couldn't help but complain: "Guagua, let's go find my uncle and cooperate with him to produce this kind of glass. We'll definitely make a lot of money."

After all, there are quite a few suckers like the emperor, hehehe, I'm going to start making money now.

The system, seeing Fang Lingchu rubbing her hands together in anticipation, said: [Great! Great! Host, let's become valuable together, then we'll have money to buy things in the system's marketplace!]

Fang Lingchu rolled her eyes when she heard the words "system mall" and said, "[Nothing in your system mall is normal. Snow White's glass slipper, the evil queen's poisoned apple, banana peels that guarantee a 100% chance of infection—look at what these things are! Not a single one is useful.]"

The system also knows this principle, but it still tries to defend itself.

[Host, once we reach level eight, we can unlock the next level of the system shop. There are many more items there, and you can use them now.]

Fang Lingchu no longer wants to rely on the system.

Fang Lingchu slowly walked out of the palace, and when she was almost at the gate, she saw Gu Wangyan.

[Host, isn't that Gu Wangyan in front of you?]

Fang Lingchu looked up and saw a man who was 1.8 meters tall and dressed in black standing there, looking like a door god.

[Why are you standing there instead of going home after get off work? Didn't the emperor say we were given a holiday?]

The system, unaware of the situation, simply replied: "They might be waiting for you, preparing to take you home."

Fang Lingchu rolled her eyes at the system in her mind.

Then he smiled at Gu Wangyan, nodded, and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wangyan suddenly reached out and grabbed Fang Lingchu's wrist.
Fang Lingchu glanced at the hand that had been pulled, then looked up at Gu Wangyan and asked, "What's wrong, General Gu?"

Gu Wangyan suddenly stepped forward and slowly raised his hand.

Fang Lingchu watched the hand slowly approaching her and instinctively wanted to reach out to stop it.

Then she saw Gu Wangyan take a leaf from her head.

He chuckled softly and said, "There's a leaf stuck in the princess's hair."

Fang Lingchu awkwardly touched her hair and said with a smile, "Thank you, but it's nothing. I'll be going now, General Gu."

【Ahhhh, Guagua, what kind of idol drama is this? Oh my god, it's so embarrassing!】The system also got goosebumps and said, 【A little, but looking at Gu Wangyan's face, it's alright.】

Fang Lingchu was just about to leave when Gu Wangyan stopped her again.

Fang Lingchu felt she was about to lose her temper and take action. When would this guy ever stop?!
Suppressing the urge to curse, he asked with good temper, "Is there anything else, General Gu?"

Gu Wangyan looked at Fang Lingchu, who was trying not to get angry, and found her inexplicably adorable.

I accidentally burst out laughing.

Fang Lingchu looked at Gu Wangyan, who was smiling broadly, and felt completely bewildered.

[Guagua, Gu Wangyan looks like he wants to find some money. What's he up to?]

The system was completely captivated by Gu Wangyan's smile.

Gu Wangyan did not suppress his smile because of Fang Lingchu's words. He simply shook his head slightly and said, "I wonder if I could invite the princess to a place?"

[Host, hurry up and agree. If you disagree, I will.]

Fang Lingchu immediately muted the system before turning to Gu Wangyan and asking, "I wonder what business the general has with me?"

Gu Wangyan, without a serious look in his eyes, said, "I'd like to invite the princess to a place. Would that be convenient?"

When the system can't speak, it jumps around in the system space to indicate that it wants to go somewhere.

Fang Lingchu, feeling a headache coming on, nodded and said, "Convenient, but where is it?"

Then he walked out of the palace gate.

Gu Wangyan quickly followed, and the two walked side by side.

They looked very well-matched from behind, even though Fang Lingchu was only up to his shoulder.

The height difference is just the cutest, and the subtle distance between the two people leaves room for imagination.

The two men came out together, and the Imperial Guards watched their backs as they walked away.

Imperial Guard 1: Look! When did General Gu and Princess Ding'an get so close?

Imperial Guard 2: What's so strange about that? Hasn't General Gu been actively looking for the princess all along?

Imperial Guard 1: But isn't the princess supposed to maintain a respectful distance? Why did these two leave together today?
Imperial Guard 2: Oh, I see! I've noticed that the princess seems to keep a safe distance from all of you, neither too close nor too far.

The two continued their discussion.

Fang Lingchu sent her family's carriage back and got into Gu Wangyan's carriage.

After mounting his horse, he asked, "General Gu, what's wrong?"

Gu Wangyan looked into the distance with a nostalgic gaze, then said, "Today is the anniversary of the death of everyone in the Gu family. I want to go and see them. I don't know many people in the capital, so I would like to ask the princess to accompany me. I hope the princess won't mind!"

The eyes that looked at Fang Lingchu were filled with dejection, fear, and rejection.

The system reappeared at this point.

[Host, why does this look remind me so much of how Duan Ganze looks at you!]

Fang Lingchu ignored the system and then said to Gu Wangyan, "Okay."

The system was surprised that Fang Lingchu agreed and couldn't help but ask, "Host, why did you agree? I thought you would refuse."
