Hearing Lu Jinkang's rejection, the young ladies who admired him were happy. Judging from the current situation, Lu Guoshi had no interest in Ge Ruohan at all.

The reason why he agreed to the ensemble was entirely to take care of Ge Ruohan's face. Thinking about it this way, he is really a gentleman.

After Ge Ruohan, several more people performed their talents, some dancing and some singing, all of which were very exciting.

Huangfushan saw that the time was almost up, so she suggested that everyone go for a stroll at the foot of the mountain. Although the flowers had not bloomed yet, the grass had already covered the ground.

Huangfushan is beautiful and takes good care of herself. Even though she is in her thirties, she looks like she is in her early twenties.

The maid Chun Liu carefully held her hand and said, "Eldest Princess, the scenery over there is nice. Please help me go there."

"Well, let's go."

Huangfushan had already gotten over the sadness of losing her consort. Li Youwei persuaded her to go out more often, so she held this spring outing party.

Huangfushan sat on a big rock by the lake and watched the fish in the lake quietly. After a while, the lotus leaves in the lake would cover most of the lake, and the scenery would be even more beautiful then.

It was rare for Chunliu to see the eldest princess in such a good mood, and she was also happy. General Li was right, the eldest princess should go out and walk more.

Huangfushan was quietly admiring the beautiful scenery, and there were footsteps approaching from far away.

When she looked up, Lu Jinkang was already approaching.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess, can Mr. Lu enjoy the scenery with you?"

Huangfu Shan wondered in her heart that this national master of Xisha Kingdom seemed to have been deliberately looking for excuses to talk to her. Was he trying to get something from You Wei through her?

When she thought of this, Huangfushan couldn't help but become more vigilant, and looked at Lu Jinkang with a guarded look.

Lu Jinkang was stunned and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Was he too abrupt?

"Your Highness, if it is inconvenient, Lu will leave now."

The eldest princess nodded, "It's indeed inappropriate. Master Lu should go on an outing with the others."

"Okay, Lu will take your leave."

After Lu Jinkang left, Chunliu couldn't help but asked curiously, "Your Highness, I feel that this Master Lu has ulterior motives."

"Why do you say that?" Chunliu has been with Huangfushan since she was a child and is her confidant. There is nothing that cannot be said.

"I noticed that the way he looked at you was different from the way he looked at other people." Chunliu observed very carefully. She had seen Lu Jinkang's eyes fall on her Highness many times.

Although he moved quickly, he still couldn't escape her eyes.

Huangfushan frowned, "Continue to observe his every move."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Even though Lu Jinkang was rejected, he didn't know that he was already disgusted by Huangfushan.

Ge Ruohan had always wanted to create a chance to be alone with Lu Jinkang, but now she finally saw him alone and hurriedly trotted to catch up.

"Master Lu, wait for me." Our lady usually never leaves the house without taking a step forward. Such violent running made her breath a little unsteady.

Lu Jinkang stopped and turned to look at Ge Ruohan who was following him, "Miss Ge, are you looking for me for something?"

"Master Lu, can we go for a walk together?"

"Miss Ge, you are a girl who has not yet left the government. It is not appropriate for you to come with me. Aren't you afraid that your reputation will be affected?"

After hearing what Lu Jinkang said, Ge Ruohan couldn't help but blush a little, but her heart felt sweeter. She knew that Lu Jinkang was doing it for her own good. If it were any other man, he would probably be eager to have something happen with her and not care about her reputation.

Only such a gentleman deserves her.

"Master Lu, let me tell you the truth. In fact, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. Can I be your wife?" After Ge Ruohan said these words, his whole face turned red with embarrassment. But she still looked at Lu Jinkang stubbornly, waiting for his answer.

Lu Jinkang also didn't expect that Ge Ruohan would be so bold and straightforward. Even if he had discovered her feelings for him before, he still couldn't believe it for a while.

Ge Ruohan waited for a while and saw that Lu Jinkang had no intention of answering. She couldn't help but become a little anxious. Her palms were all sweaty and she wanted to shrink back.

"Ms. Ge, thank you for your love for me. It's a pity that we are not suitable. You can look at the people around you. There will always be someone who is a good match for you."

Just when Ge Ruohan was about to run away, Lu Jinkang finally gave her the answer.

"Why, why?" Ge Ruohan thought that Lu Jinkang agreed to play Feng Qiu Huang with her because he liked her. As long as she was braver, they could be together. But now she heard something and he actually refused. Why? What will happen?

Lu Jinkang looked into the distance, placed the folding fan on his chest and shook it, then said lonelyly, "I have something in my heart, and I don't want to delay Miss Ge's happiness."

Tears fell from his face unconsciously, "Can I ask who it is?"

"Sorry, I can't say her name. I don't want to cause trouble to her."

Ge Ruohan's body swayed, and finally ran away with a final sentence of wishing you happiness.

Ge Ruohan's maid who was standing not far away did not know what happened to her young lady, so she hurriedly chased after her.

After Ge Ruohan ran away, General Wei La strode over.

"Master Lu, what did you say? Why did you make this girl cry?"

"What? General Wei La is feeling distressed?" Lu Jinkang joked with a smile.

General Wei La hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense. I don't like such a delicate and crying little girl. I don't know how to coax her."

"Okay, don't be nervous, Lu is just joking with you."

The two walked forward side by side. General Wei La asked tentatively, "Master Lu, Emperor Nanchen's wedding is over. When do you plan to leave the capital and return to Xisha."

Lu Jinkang asked instead, "What is General Wei La's plan?"

"I can't go back yet. General Li has promised to spar with me. She has no time to talk to me now. I have to wait until she is finished."

Lu Jinkang nodded, "You are right, I am also waiting for General Li."

General Wei La narrowed his eyes, "Master Lu, tell the truth, do you like General Li?"

"Oh, General Wei La found out." Lu Jinkang looked like his thoughts had been discovered.

"Master Lu, you really like General Li. You are so brave."

General Wei La gave a thumbs up.

Lu Jinkang shook his head helplessly, "Love is something you can't control. Some people can't forget it with just one glance."

Wei La helplessly shook his head, "I don't understand what you're talking about. Anyway, be careful. Not everyone can like General Li."

"Thank you, General Wei La, for reminding me. I understand."

Lu Jinkang naturally knew how risky it was to like Li Youwei. He couldn't afford to offend someone like Emperor Xi Weidi who was jealous.

After the spring outing banquet, Wang Boyan sent the envoys from Xisha Kingdom and Beiliang Kingdom back to the inn, and then took them back to the General's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he was called to the study.

"Dad, are you looking for me for anything?" Wang Boyan looked at his father's solemn expression and couldn't help but feel worried.

General Wang sighed deeply and then said hesitantly, "Boyan, have you decided who you want to marry?"
