Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

The next morning, as dawn broke.

Yin Liuli opened her eyes and vaguely saw faint sunlight filtering in through the window, which made her feel somewhat dazed.

Immediately, memories of last night flooded her mind, her face flushed red, and she shrank into the blankets, even the tips of her ears burning.

A soft chuckle came from beside me.

"woke up?"

Gu Jinyan's voice was husky and languid, typical of someone just waking up. His arm was still around her waist, and with a slight pull, he drew her into his embrace. "Did you sleep well?"

Yin Liuli buried her head in his chest and mumbled an "Mmm," not daring to look up at him at all.

"Are you shy?"

Gu Jinyan chuckled softly, reaching out to ruffle her hair. "You weren't this shy last night, but now you're embarrassed."

"You still dare to talk back!"

Yin Liuli punched him lightly in embarrassment and annoyance, but the force was as light as a cat's scratch.

Gu Jinyan laughed heartily, his chest heaving slightly from the loud laughter.

Yin Liuli sensed it and quickly looked up to look at his wound. Seeing that the bandage was still in place, without bleeding or coming loose, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I told you it's nothing." Gu Jinyan raised an eyebrow.

"Don't get too cocky!"

Yin Liuli put on a stern face, but her cheeks turned as red as a boiled shrimp, showing no imposing manner whatsoever.

The two lingered for a while longer, then a maidservant whispered from the outer room,

"Your Highness, Your Highness's Consort, it's time to get up. You still need to pay your respects to your parents-in-law today."

Upon hearing the words "pay respects to parents-in-law," Yin Liuli immediately became somewhat nervous.

Gu Jinyan, on the other hand, sat on the bed watching her busy herself, a smile playing on his lips and tenderness in his eyes.

After the two had finished getting ready, Yin Liuli changed into a light purple bridal gown, styled her hair in a bun, and adorned it with a white jade hairpin.

She was already beautiful, and now with the added charm of a newlywed, she appears even more elegant and refined.

Gu Jinyan stared at her intently, unable to look away.

"What are you looking at?" Yin Liuli felt uncomfortable under his gaze and tugged at her sleeve. "Is there something wrong?"

"Perfect." Gu Jinyan stepped forward, took her hand, and gave her a quick kiss. "Smack!"

"However, as you know, my mother is very talkative, so we need to hurry up and give her a grandson to hold. Let's keep trying tonight."

Yin Liuli blushed and glared at him fiercely, "Are you coming or not? It'll be too late if you dawdle any longer."

Gu Jinyan laughed heartily, took her hand, and went out the door.

The two entered the main hall of the Gu residence and, according to custom, knelt down to perform a grand salute.

"Liuli, pay your respects to your father and mother."

Yin Liuli respectfully kowtowed three times, her voice clear and steady, her posture upright and dignified.

Princess Chengyi gazed at her for a long time, her eyes reddening.

"Liuli, I owe my mother's situation so much to you. I don't know how to thank you enough..."

"There's no need for thanks."

Yin Liuli tilted her head and said, "Mother, you don't need to worry about such a small matter. It's what I should do."

Gu Jinyan chimed in from the side, grinning cheekily.

"Mother, we've been bowing for ages, and this is all you're going to say? Shouldn't you... reward your son and daughter-in-law with something?"

"I heard Mother has prepared a wonderful gift, quickly bring it out and let your son see it!"

Princess Chengyi spat at him with a smile.

"You just got married and you're already trying to take advantage of your mother's body? Forget it, it was originally meant for you two."

As she spoke, she asked the nanny to bring over something, her eyes red-rimmed as she said...

"These are all the property, land, shops, and storeroom accounts of our Princess's residence. From now on, they will all be handed over to Liuli."

Yin Liuli stared in surprise, "Ah? I... I don't want to..."

All his possessions were to be handed over to her?

Stop fooling around!

Is she the kind of person who's good at managing things?

"Don't worry, your mother doesn't want you to manage the household; she wants you to take charge of our family in the future!"

Gu Jinyan noticed her shock, and a bright smile appeared on his handsome face. He said casually, "Father and Mother are probably afraid that Liuli will not like me in the future and will run away, right?"

So they'll use their wealth to hold you back, making it so you can't leave even if you want to!

As soon as he finished speaking, the main hall erupted in laughter.

A warm feeling welled up in Yin Liuli's heart.

……

After breakfast, the two returned to the princess's residence.

Although she could only return home after three days, she missed her mother after just one night, and she didn't care about anything else.

Madam Zhen was having breakfast with her master and several fellow disciples when she saw the two girls returning excitedly. She was startled and said, "Why are you returning home so early? Don't break the rules..."

"Mother!" Yin Liuli rushed forward as soon as she entered the door, grabbing her arm and nuzzling against her. "Mother, I missed you!"

The old master sat to one side, stroking his beard and smiling. "You're back?"

When her fellow disciples saw her, their eyes lit up. "Junior Sister, congratulations!"

"Master, fellow disciples, I miss you all too!"

Yin Liuli said cheerfully, "Fortunately, the two residences are not far apart, so I think you'll be able to come back and see me!"

Chu Lingyun looked at her with a silent smile, his eyes filled with a profound depth that others could not understand.

"My good disciple, come here."

Suddenly, her master beckoned to her and said earnestly, "I've already spoken with your senior brothers, and you'll be returning to Xuanqing Temple in a few days."

Yin Liuli was slightly taken aback. "Huh? Didn't we agree to stay in the capital? Why are you going back? No way, I won't allow it!"

"I still need to cultivate immortality; how can I achieve immortality here?"

The master stroked his beard and chuckled, "Silly disciple, wouldn't it be better if your master came back to protect you after you become an immortal?"

Yin Liuli's lips twitched. "..."

"Master, you've all gone back, leaving me all alone here?"

She felt an indescribable reluctance to part with him.

The master raised an eyebrow and said meaningfully, "Who said you'd be the only one left? I'll have your eldest brother stay here so he can look after you in the future."

He lowered his voice and said, "My good disciple, I think that girl next to him is quite nice. You should think about setting them up."

"I've been thinking about this for a while now, Master, don't worry."

Yin Liuli glanced at Chu Lingyun, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "Master, you don't know, Miss Shen really likes Senior Brother!"

Chu Lingyun kept his eyes straight ahead, but a complex meaning was surging in his clear and cold eyes.

……

A few more days passed.

Yin Liuli stood in front of the door, watching her master and fellow disciples' figures grow smaller and smaller, and tears finally streamed down her face.

Gu Jinyan didn't say anything, he just stood beside her and gently put his arm around her shoulder.

The crowd watched as the carriage disappeared at the end of the road.

Yin Liuli looked up at Gu Jinyan and saw that he was looking at her with a gentle smile.

"Let's go," he said, taking her hand. "It's windy outside."

Yin Liuli nodded and gripped his hand tightly in return.

The two walked hand in hand back to the mansion. As they passed through the corridor, Yin Liuli stopped and looked back at the distant horizon.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Jinyan asked.

"I'm thinking..."

Yin Liuli withdrew her gaze, smiled brightly, and said, "The good days ahead are far from over."

The Emperor issued a secret decree to the two of them, stating that a group of extremely fierce Tartar soldiers had suddenly appeared on the border battlefield, and that they were to go and help them.

Tomorrow, she and Gu Jinyan will embark on a new journey...
