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

Steward Gu Zhong also told the Shen family the same reason. Although the Shen couple felt uncomfortable, they thought that the Pingyang Palace had agreed. If they refused, wouldn't they offend both families at the same time? The reason they went to the Gu family to propose marriage was to establish a relationship with the Pingyang Palace.

Moreover, the Taoist priest said that there was black air in the golden light above the Gu family. It should be that the black air was because they married the wrong person. After that, there would only be golden light filled with blessings.

Gu Zhiyin sat in front of the dressing table, letting the matchmaker prepare her looks and then put on her makeup.

From the bronze mirror, he saw the maid Ruyi walking towards him with her skirt lifted up, looking angry but forcing a smile.

"what happened?"

Ruyi glanced at the bridesmaid, pursed her lips and said nothing.

The bridesmaid understood immediately and found an excuse to go out.

Ruyi then leaned close to Gu Zhiyin and whispered in her ear, "The master and the mistress just told all the servants in the mansion to announce to the public that you had chosen the Fu family from the Prince of Pingyang from the beginning, and the second young lady had chosen the Shen family from the Ministry of War. Later, I secretly found out from the second young lady..."

She repeated Gu Yanqing's reasons to the Fu and Shen families.

"The master is so biased that he just tolerates the second young lady's trouble and even went to great lengths to come up with an excuse to convince the Fu and Shen families. Why should he sacrifice you for the second young lady's happiness? It turns out that the second young lady is his biological daughter and the eldest young lady was picked up on the street." Ruyi was so angry that he became like a frog. On his way back, he felt that the red color in the mansion was extremely annoying.

"Are you so sure that your young lady is unhappy?" Gu Zhiyin pinched Ruyi's face and chuckled.

It would not sound good if the news of the temporary marriage exchange got out, so she could only insist that the person she was going to marry from the beginning was Fu Yunjing, and Gu Jinse was going to marry Shen Linzhou. After that, even if outsiders had doubts, they could only guess in their hearts.

Ruyi immediately shook her head like a wave drum: "Miss, this is not what I meant, I..."

"You and I grew up together, and I know you feel bad for me. The Prince of Pingyang's Mansion is pretty good. I will be the Princess of a County Prince in the future, and Gu Jinse will have to bow and greet me when she sees me. She will be inferior to me in every way. Isn't it nice to think about it this way?"

When Ruyi heard this, the image of Gu Jinse kneeling in front of her young lady suddenly appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Cool!"

"Call the bridesmaid in. Her hair isn't combed yet." Gu Zhiyin said.

Ruyi responded, "Okay."

As the auspicious time approached, things outside became lively.

Welcoming the bride, getting on the sedan chair, getting off the sedan chair, stepping over the fire basin, walking through the door, and worshipping in the hall.

Gu Zhiyin was manipulated like a doll for the entire day, repeating the process of her previous life, but without the excitement and anticipation of the first time.

Until the ceremony was completed, she was finally sent to the bridal chamber.

The palace is more lively than the Gu family's, and the mansion is several times larger than the Shen family's in the previous life.

After Gu Zhiyin had been gone for a long time, he was finally brought to an independent courtyard and led into the new house.

The veil was lifted and the wedding wine was drunk. Before the bridesmaid could finish her congratulatory speech, Fu Yunjing waved his hand and drove everyone out of the room.

"Are you the daughter of the Gu family?"

The man's voice was clear, full of indifference and impatience.

She was dressed in a scarlet brocade robe, a red jade crown, her hair was like dyed lacquer, she had a stunning appearance, and a dignified and elegant demeanor, just like the twin dragon and phoenix candles burning on the table, extremely gorgeous yet chillingly arrogant.

Gu Zhiyin stood up and bowed meekly: "My name is Gu Zhiyin."

"I don't care what your name is. My grandmother and father asked me to marry you, not me."

Fu Yunjing put his hands behind his back and looked at Gu Zhiyin with a stern gaze, which was so cold that there was no trace of warmth in his eyes.

"Yes." Gu Zhiyin nodded without any hesitation.

"I have someone I like, so I will never touch you, and don't try to destroy the relationship between me and her."

Gu Zhiyin: “Okay.”

Seeing how obedient she was, Fu Yunjing couldn't help but show a look of surprise. He felt embarrassed to keep a tough attitude, otherwise it would seem that he, a grown man, was too incompetent to bully a weak woman.

After all, this marriage was decided by the elders of both parties. Even he couldn't resist it, so how could she, a girl, refuse?

Thinking of this, Fu Yunjing's cold expression softened a little.

Today, if anyone who is spoiled and has a bad temper talks back at him, he will just walk away without even looking back.

But Gu Zhiyin was so easy to talk to, she agreed to whatever he said, so he couldn't lose his temper anymore.

Fu Yunjing stared at her for a long while, coughed lightly, softened his tone, and stated: "Yue'er and I are in love. Although I cannot marry her for the time being because of her status, in my heart, I only recognize her as my wife in this life. Apart from her, I will not accept other women. I have no choice but to marry you. If you behave yourself in the future, you will be the nominal Princess of Pingyang Palace, and I will give you the corresponding respect. If you refuse to behave yourself, don't blame me for being rude."

Gu Zhiyin listened to him patiently, rolling her eyes in her heart while saying, "Okay!"

If she wasn't the one being argued with, Gu Zhiyin would have wanted to praise the man in her heart for being so affectionate.

No wonder Gu Jinse made a fuss on her wedding night in her previous life.

However, Gu Zhiyin was well aware of tonight's situation. As the princess of a county, she didn't have to worry about dealing with Fu Yunjing. Just think about how beautiful this day would be.

So Gu Zhi agreed and was very satisfied.

Fu Yunjing looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. Her pair of almond-shaped eyes were dark, bright and clear, like a pool of autumn water, shimmering and shining like stars.

His brows couldn't help but tighten.

Gu Zhiyin's reaction was really beyond his expectations.

"I won't stay the night at your place. This is what I promised Yue'er. You should go to bed early."

Fu Yunjing said this, then turned around and left without looking back.

Ruyi ran into the room, her beautiful eyes filled with tears. She looked at Gu Zhiyin with an aggrieved look as if she wanted to cry but didn't dare to. She felt so sorry for her young lady.

Prince Ming is such a bastard.

On the wedding night, the groom stormed out, showing that he was disgusted with the Princess. If the news that the Princess is out of favor spreads throughout the palace tomorrow, how will the young lady gain a foothold in the palace in the future?

Gu Zhiyin knew her maid's thoughts very well and smiled at her soothingly.

It looked like she was being rejected, but in reality, she had won this round of games.

In the previous life, when Gu Jinse married into the palace, Fu Yunjing said exactly the same words. However, how could a proud person like Gu Jinse tolerate it? She made a big fuss that night and smashed everything in the bridal chamber.

This move played into Fu Yunjing's hands, and he broke off relations with her. He even threatened that he was extremely unlucky to marry a shrew like Gu Jinse, and that the old Princess Fu didn't even have the confidence to support her.

Three days later, when Fu Yunjing returned to his parents' home, he was even more angry and didn't want to accompany Gu Jinse back. In the end, the old Princess Fu favored her grandson and there was nothing she could do about it.

But now she was different. Not only did she not quarrel with Fu Yunjing or make things difficult for him, she also did everything as he wished. Didn't she see that Fu Yunjing's aura in front of her was even lowered by two points in the end.

Just for this reason, the old princess would be very fond of her.

In this palace, the person she wanted to conquer was never Fu Yunjing, nor her nominal stepmother-in-law, but the old Princess Fu.

"Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. Trust me and go get me some water for a bath." Gu Zhiyin stretched and instructed Ruyi.
