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

"Yinyin, thank you so much. Although you are young, you are thoughtful about everything. If it weren't for you, something might have gone wrong at tomorrow's banquet. Mother is really ashamed of herself." Wen said to Gu Zhiyin with gratitude and shame.

Gu Zhiyin smiled lightly and said, "Mother, you are overpraising me. I am just learning and applying what I have learned."

Wen was puzzled: "Learn now?"

"The Duke of Protectorate's residence held a banquet a few days ago. Aunt Liu knew that we would also hold a banquet during the New Year, so she taught me a lot." Gu Zhiyin said.

In her previous life, Gu Zhiyin followed Shen Linzhou in getting promoted step by step, and she also opened her own residence and hosted countless banquets of all sizes. Later, Shen Linzhou was given the title of marquis with a large number of troops under his command, and she also served as the marquis's wife for a period of time, dealing with many ladies and young ladies from the capital's aristocratic families, and was adept at hosting such banquets.

But of course she couldn't tell these to the Wen family.

On the day of the banquet at the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, Wen did not attend the banquet because Keke had a stomachache, so it was naturally impossible for her to go to the Duke of Protectorate's wife to verify the matter.

Wen nodded in understanding: "Thank you Madam Liu, but you are also smart, otherwise you can master it so quickly after just one day of study."

Shen family.

Haitang entered the room carrying a bird's nest: "Third Young Madam."

Gu Jinse reached out to take the bowl, looked down, and her face suddenly darkened: "Where is the blood swallow? The servant in the kitchen doesn't want to work anymore, right? Why did you give me the white swallow?"

Haitang's expression froze slightly, and she said, "The people in the kitchen said that the blood swallow was taken away by Aunt Lu."

bah—

Gu Jinse raised her hand and smashed the bowl to the ground, with a cold chill in her eyes: "This bitch!"

Han Yan, who was standing by, clenched her fists and huffed, "Shameless bitch, who gave her the guts to steal Third Young Lady's things?"

Who gave the courage?

Of course it’s the Third Young Master.

Haitang secretly complained in her heart.

At this moment, the voice of a servant greeting was heard outside the house. Soon, Shen Linzhou slowly walked into the house and was stunned when he saw the mess on the ground.

Gu Jinse's gloomy expression did not disappear for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Shen Linzhou frowned and looked towards Gu Jinse.

Gu Jinse's heart skipped a beat. She looked at the fragments on the ground and wanted to explain, but her mind went blank.

Seeing this, Haitang knelt down hurriedly and said, "Please forgive me, Third Young Madam. I didn't break it on purpose."

If the Third Young Master knew that the Third Young Mistress had lost her temper in the house because Aunt Lu was angry, all the generosity and kindness he had shown during this period would have been in vain.

Gu Jinse felt relieved: "Get up, this won't happen again."

Haitang: "Thank you, Third Young Madam."

"The maid is clumsy, so just discipline her. You are pregnant now, so don't get angry easily." Shen Linzhou said.

These words were referring to Gu Jinse's ugly expression just now.

Gu Jinse replied with a fake smile: "I know, Lin Zhou." After that, she quickly ordered the maid to serve tea: "... and ask the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that the third young master likes!"

The implication was that Shen Linzhou was determined to stay for dinner.

It was almost evening, and when Shen Linzhou came at this time, Gu Jinse naturally assumed that he was going to stay.

Shen Linzhou showed an unnatural expression on his face. Seeing Haitang and Hanyan leaving, he coughed lightly and called them back, "You don't have to go."

Haitang and Hanyu stood there hesitantly.

Gu Jinse's expression froze: "What?"

Shen Linzhou: "I came here to tell you something, and I'll leave after I'm done."

Gu Jinse suppressed her displeasure, looked at Shen Linzhou with a smile and said, "I know, what do you want to tell me?"

"There will be a banquet at the Prince of Pingyang's mansion tomorrow. There are guests at the mansion and my mother can't leave. You should explain it to the princess when the time comes." Shen Linzhou said.

Gu Jinse smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Qingqing is a bit arrogant, please bear with me..."

As soon as Shen Linzhou said this, Gu Jinse immediately responded, "Since I'm married to you, she is also my biological sister. I naturally won't bother with her."

Shen Wanqing's behavior is not just arrogance, she is simply unreasonable. I don't know where her sense of superiority comes from, she always feels that she is superior to others.

Shen Linzhou continued, "Ning'er is gentle and polite, so you don't have to worry about her. But this is her first time attending such an occasion, so she will inevitably be nervous. You should take care of her."

When Gu Jinse heard this, she looked at Shen Linzhou in shock and disbelief: "What do you mean by this?"

Shen Linzhou looked at Gu Jinse's expression, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, and frowned slightly: "I told you to take better care of Ning'er tomorrow."

"Ha..." Gu Jinse couldn't help but sneered: "You want me to take Lu Wanning, a concubine, to the banquet at Prince Pingyang's Mansion? You are not afraid of embarrassment, but I am."

"Gu! Jin! Se!" Shen Linzhou said angrily with a sullen face: "What's shameful? Ning'er is well-educated and well-mannered. How can she be inferior to others?"

Gu Jinse was furious at Shen Linzhou's defense of Lu Wanning. She dug her nails into her flesh and could hardly hold back her expression. "Have you ever considered my feelings?"

"When have I never considered your feelings?" Shen Linzhou said in a cold voice.

Gu Jinse: "The guests attending the banquet held by Prince Pingyang's mansion are all the wives and daughters of high status and position. No matter how good Lu Wan Ning is, she is still a concubine. If I bring her here, people who don't know will think I am deliberately embarrassing Prince Pingyang."

"You think too much." Shen Linzhou glanced at her disapprovingly. "The Princess of Ming County is your biological sister. You brought Ning'er here because we are family members, not outsiders. How can you embarrass Prince Pingyang? I always thought you were generous and kind. Could it be that you were just pretending to be nice to Ning'er these days? Do you actually look down on her in your heart?"

Gu Jinse choked suddenly!

She just looked down on Lu Wanning. If it weren't for her own reputation and if she didn't care about Shen Linzhou's opinion of her, why would she endure Lu Wanning so much under her nose? Now she was even trying to seduce Shen Linzhou to take her to the banquet at Prince Pingyang's Mansion.

What does Lu Wanning want to do?

Did she think that by entering Prince Pingyang's Palace, she could get close to the powerful?

She is just a lowly concubine, yet she has such delusions.

Seeing Gu Jinse silent, Shen Linzhou felt that he had hit the nail on the head, and his face immediately turned grim: "The day after tomorrow I will follow Xuanping Hou to Qianfeng Mountain to suppress bandits. You don't like Ning'er, how can I let her stay in the mansion?"

When Gu Jinse heard these words, her heart was suddenly shocked.

Marquis Xuanping? Suppressing bandits in Qianfeng Mountain?

I remember that in his previous life, Shen Linzhou saved Marquis Xuanping during this bandit suppression campaign and made great contributions. He was highly regarded by Marquis Xuanping and quickly became his deputy general. After that, he followed Marquis Xuanping into the battlefield and quickly became successful on the battlefield with the help of Marquis Xuanping.

Finally, he was granted a title of nobility and appointed as a general.
