After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

"He died just like that? Why do I find it hard to believe?" Fu Yunyao said hesitantly.

Gu Zhiyin: "But if the Third Prince really wants to save Lin Jianyue, it won't be difficult for him."

This depends on how much Lin Jianyue holds in Chu Chengnan's heart.

After all, the wine she brewed harmed many people, and everyone regarded Lin Jianyue as a thorn in their eyes.

Fu Yunyao opened her mouth and said after a long while: "No matter whether Lin Jianyue is dead or alive, this person will have nothing to do with us in the future."

The palace has finally returned to peace because of her departure, but you must never have anything to do with her again.

As September approaches, the weather gradually becomes cooler.

The tenth princess held a chrysanthemum-viewing banquet in the palace and invited young ladies and ladies of the same age from various noble families to come to the palace to appreciate the flowers.

Gu Zhiyin and Fu Yunyao both received the invitation, but Fu Yunyao had not yet recovered, so she did not go.

On the day of the banquet, Gu Zhiyin brought Ruyi and Zhuqi into the palace.

In the carriage, Zhu Qi sat there with a sullen expression, very steadily, while Ruyi was fidgeting as if there were nails growing on the stool.

"Ruyi, what's wrong?" Gu Zhiyin asked.

Ruyi immediately sat up straight, smiled innocently and said, "This is my first time entering the palace, I am both nervous and excited."

Gu Zhiyin laughed: "Follow closely, don't run around."

Ruyi responded seriously: "Don't worry, Princess, I understand."

The imperial palace is not like the residence of a noble family. If you make a mistake carelessly, not only will you implicate your master, you may even lose your life.

The carriage stopped at Shunzhen Gate and Gu Zhiyin got off.

Not everyone could come to the Tenth Princess's chrysanthemum-viewing banquet, let alone the young ladies and wives of aristocratic families of similar age. However, at a glance, dozens of exquisite and luxurious carriages were parked in an orderly manner at the palace gate, and the women who got off the carriages were all dressed up and looked bright and charming.

Suddenly, Ruyi discovered something, her black eyes widened, and she whispered to Gu Zhiyin: "Princess, is that the second young lady?"

Gu Zhiyin followed her gaze and saw Gu Jinse standing among a group of beautiful girls walking towards the palace gate. She was chatting happily and getting along well with them.

"is her."

"The Second Miss didn't let the Master force you to bring her into the palace this time. It seems that the Tenth Princess sent her an invitation specially. The Second Miss must be very proud of herself if she can get close to the Tenth Princess." Ruyi said sourly.

I don’t know what luck the second young lady had that made the tenth princess look at her differently.

Gu Zhiyin smiled lightly and said nothing.

Gu Jinse lived a new life and believed that she had advantages over others. Even though she had a terrible life in her previous life, she knew a lot of things that these people didn't know.

It is not difficult to please Shigong by taking the trouble to do so.

Moreover, although the Tenth Princess looks cold and arrogant, her temperament is actually simple.

If it were a princess with a deep mind, Gu Jinse would be playing with fire.

But just because the Tenth Princess is heartless doesn't mean the Queen is easy to coax.

It would be fine if Gu Jinse just wanted to please the Tenth Princess, but if she had other inappropriate thoughts, she would not be able to bear the Queen's anger.

Gu Zhiyin no longer paid attention to Gu Jinse, but looked ahead, quietly waiting for Liu Zhenzhen.

She often went to the palace in her previous life, but this was her first time. Liu Zhenzhen had already asked someone to pass on the message, so as to prevent her from being nervous, she waited for her.

Naturally, she couldn't refuse Liu Zhenzhen's kindness.

Besides, she did have to act nervous to appear normal.

Not long after, a carriage marked with the emblem of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion slowly drove over. As soon as it stopped, Liu Zhenzhen couldn't wait to jump out.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Mengyu lifted the curtain and got off the carriage gracefully.

Seeing Gu Zhiyin, he smiled and saluted: "Princess of the County."

Gu Zhiyin nodded slightly: "Miss Zhou."

"Zhenzhen went to the Marquis' Mansion to pick me up, so I came late and kept the Princess waiting for a long time."

Gu Zhiyin shook her head: "Miss Zhou, you are too polite. It's not too late. I just got here."

"Don't stand there, go into the palace first." Liu Zhenzhen said at the right time.

So the three of them entered the palace together.

The chrysanthemum viewing banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. It was a long way from Shunzhen Gate, so as soon as we entered the palace gate, we saw the prepared sedan chair.

Everyone got on the sedan chair one by one, and the eunuchs carried it steadily towards the harem.

They are all noble ladies and wives from aristocratic families. How can they bear to walk to the Imperial Garden on foot?

The Imperial Garden is very large. In the large open space in the southwest, pots of chrysanthemums of various colors are placed in an orderly manner. There are many varieties, and the petals are waving in the wind. From a distance, it is beautiful and moving. Not far away is the clear and calm lake. The lakeside is shaded by green trees, swaying in the wind, and the scenery is pleasant.

Small tables were placed on both sides, on which were placed various pastries and fresh fruits.

Women who knew each other gathered in groups of three or four to chat.

Liu Zhenzhen took Gu Zhiyin and Zhou Mengyu to find a quiet place.

As soon as he sat down, he heard the eunuch shouting, "The eldest princess is here, the seventh princess is here."

The noisy Imperial Garden suddenly became quiet, and then everyone knelt down to greet them: "Greetings to the eldest princess, greetings to the seventh princess."

"No need to be so polite. Everyone, don't be restrained." The eldest princess, dressed in gorgeous clothes, raised her hand slightly and said with a cold expression.

The gold thread on the cuffs was so light that it was almost ivory-colored, and the pattern shone brightly in the sun, making the hands look even whiter than jade.

"Thank you, Princess." Everyone stood up to express their gratitude.

Then he watched her walk to the front seat and sit down.

The seventh princess sat beside her.

Today she was wearing a silver-white dress with a gold butterfly pattern, which made her skin look as white as snow, her face rosy and rosy, and she looked pretty and lovely.

"Although our eldest princess is not born of a legitimate wife, she is His Majesty's first child. When she was born, His Majesty was still an inconspicuous prince, so he showed all his love as a father to this eldest daughter. However, her biological mother was not of high status and also passed away." Liu Zhenzhen approached Gu Zhiyin and introduced her.

"After His Majesty ascended the throne, he put a lot of thought into selecting a consort for her. Our dynasty has always had a rule that consorts are not allowed to serve as officials in the court, but His Majesty loves the eldest princess so much that he not only chose the prince of the then top family, the Duke of Luo's Mansion, as a consort, but also did not remove the prince from his position, allowing him to hold the power. The eldest princess became very famous in the court for a while."

"But the good times didn't last long. The princess had been married for only three years when the Luoguo Mansion was convicted of treason and the entire family was executed. But the eldest princess was a princess of the royal family and was loved by the emperor, so the emperor issued an imperial decree to sever the marriage relationship between the eldest princess and the prince. The emperor felt sorry for the princess being a widow at such a young age, so he not only ordered the Ministry of Works to expand the princess's mansion, but also built a garden for the princess. It is no exaggeration to say that it is more luxurious and exquisite than the royal gardens."
