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

Since there were guests coming, everyone did not stay long and left Chaohui Hall.

Since the old princess had handed over the power to manage the household, she wanted nothing more than to live in peace and quiet, so Wen and Gu Zhiyin were in charge of entertaining the female members of the various families.

Most of the people who came today were officials from the Honglu Temple. In the past, these people would only come after the eighth day of the first lunar month. After all, although Fu Zheng is a prince, he really has no power. Everyone wants to flatter him. In the few days before the New Year, they must have been flattering those high-ranking and powerful families. Who would wish Fu Zheng a happy new year on the first day of the new year?

But this year is different.

No matter what other government offices thought, the officials of all ranks in the Honglu Temple had to take it seriously.

Occasionally, some ministers who were not in the same yamen wanted to establish a relationship with Fu Zheng but were too busy to do so, so they asked their wives to bring gifts to pay New Year's greetings, and these female relatives were then led by servants to the main courtyard.

Among these ladies, the most conspicuous and shocking one was Madam Cheng, the commander of the Imperial Guards.

Everyone followed her and walked towards the main courtyard. On the way, someone smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet Madam Cheng in the palace. I have always wanted to visit the Cheng family, but I was afraid that it would be too abrupt to visit them suddenly. Is Madam Cheng familiar with the princess?"

Mrs. Cheng smiled at the person who was speaking and said, "I don't know him!"

What's the point of visiting the Cheng family? It was just a polite way of trying to establish a relationship. Mrs. Cheng didn't respond, but just said, "Princess Pingyang and I hit it off right away."

After she spoke, she ignored the lady and turned her eyes to see another lady in the crowd. She smiled and said, "Madam Yang!"

"Mrs. Cheng!" Mrs. Yang nodded with a smile.

Mrs. Cheng stopped and waited for Mrs. Yang to come to her side, and then the two of them walked side by side.

"We meet by chance today. I would like to congratulate Lord Yang in advance." Mrs. Cheng glanced slightly and said in a low voice.

"Thank you." Madam Yang pursed her lips and smiled: "It is also thanks to Prince Pingyang."

Mrs. Cheng nodded knowingly.

Yang Xu, the Vice Minister of Works, accompanied Fu Zheng to Jiangnan to purchase grain for the drought in Pengzhou. Fu Zheng made great contributions, so he naturally benefited from it. The post of Minister of Revenue was vacant, and the Duke of Protectorate took the opportunity to push him to the post. Although the imperial edict had not been issued, the appointment letter from the Ministry of Personnel had already been stamped, and he would take office after the new year.

Not many people knew about this. The Cheng family was now secretly close to the Liu family, so Mrs. Cheng naturally knew about it.

Yang Xu was the Duke of Protectorate's man, so Madam Yang knew more than others. Madam Cheng and Princess Pingyang hit it off right away, which was just an external statement. In fact, the one Madam Cheng really cared about was Princess Mingjun, who was the girl who saved the Cheng family's eldest son. For this favor, the Cheng family valued Princess Mingjun very much.

And as far as she knew, at the banquet held by Madam Cheng not long ago, the Princess of Ming County even risked her life to save the Sixth Prince.

As they were talking, they arrived at the main courtyard.

Everyone walked into the flower hall, bowed to Wen and wished each other a happy new year.

Then he bowed to Fu Yunyao and Gu Zhiyin.

The two of them stood up and returned the greeting as a junior.

……

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Fu Yunjing accompanied Gu Zhiyin back home.

There were two carriages parked at the gate, one of which was filled with gifts, all of which were prepared by the old princess and Wen.

No matter whether the Gu family treats Gu Zhiyin well or not, they have to maintain their daughter-in-law (granddaughter-in-law)'s face when they return to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year.

The two married daughters of the Gu family returned to their parents' home today at the same time, just to let everyone know that the entire Fu family values ​​and loves Gu Zhiyin.
