Seeing how glum Gu Bailu was on the carriage ride home, Feng Qingtian suggested, “Why don’t I take you to the National Counselor? He must be familiar with the skills.”


  Feng Qingtian really didn’t know much about Gu Bailu’s family skills.

  His strength was completely founded on spiritual power, and his spiritual power was formidable. He never had to worry about training.

  “That would be great. I don’t think I can come up with anything on my own.”


  “We’ll probably go to the royal palace tomorrow. We can ask him together.” Feng Qingtian petted her. “Don’t be upset. There’s always a way.”


  “Yes, I’m definitely going to grasp it. Those who consider me useless will be shocked.”


  She had suffered divine retribution in her previous life.

  How could she have pissed off the heavens, if she hadn’t been awesome in her previous life?

  With her talent and her hard work, she was certain that she could accomplish great things.

  When they returned home, the butler came to report, “My lord, my lady, a girl was here for the princess, but I didn’t dare allow her in……”


  “Are you sure she’s here for me, not the prince?” asked Gu Bailu curiously.

  She didn’t know many women in this world apart from Ah Luo.

  “Yes, I’m positive. She should be in a teahouse nearby. I’ll go find her right now.”


  “That’s unnecessary. If the matter is urgent, she’ll come again.”


  It was possible that this girl was using the pretext of looking for Gu Bailu in order to approach Feng Qingtian.

  The gorgeous girls out there were all eager and ready to take action.

  They all thought that the new Princess Zi was too heavily wounded to serve Prince Zi, and that he had only accepted Gu Bailu again because she was pregnant.

  So, Prince Zi had no woman at this point who could serve him!

  Besides, since Prince Zi had slept with two women, his body must be fine now.

  Uninterested in the stranger, Feng Qingtian took Gu Bailu back to the house and asked her what she wanted to eat.

  Gu Bailu thought for a moment, then said, “Hot soup with the spiciest peppers. That tastes the best in winter.”


  Feng Qingtian frowned. “You’re pregnant now. I think you should eat something milder.”


  “No, no, I just want to have hot soup today. Nobody can stop me from having hot soup.”


  Peppers wouldn’t affect the fetus. She had confirmed it with Mr. Xiao.

  “Okay, okay, we’ll have hot soup. Ye Ying, tell the kitchen to make what the princess said.” Feng Qingtian certainly couldn’t go against her will.

  Gu Bailu smiled delightedly in his arms. “But we need to make some pork for Ah Luo. She’s not going to be happy without meat.”


  “You only think about her? Why didn’t you ask me what I want?”


  Her hands around his neck, Gu Bailu leaned in close to nuzzle his nose. “I’m sure that what you want most is me. Do I have to ask?”


  “Little minx, see how I’ll take care of you.”


  “No, no, I’m pregnant. We can’t do anything in the first three months.”


  “You teased me when you knew that we couldn’t do anything?” Feng Qingtian grabbed one of her breasts with his hand and nibbled on the other over her clothes. “Teasing me comes at a price.”
