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

Ruyi held the broom and looked back at Gu Zhiyin.

Leng Moqiu subconsciously followed Ruyi's gaze and saw a beautiful woman standing at the gate of the courtyard.

Her jet-black hair was tied into a bun and pinned with a glazed butterfly hairpin. The long tassels hung down, matching the layers of Xiang Fei-colored skirt she wore. She had a slender bun around her waist and a pair of white jade hollow gourd-pattern pendants on her ears, which made her figure look even more exquisite.

"Meet the Princess."

Leng Moqiu's mind turned slightly, and he guessed the identity of the person in front of him, so he bowed.

"Mr. Leng, there is no need to be so polite."

Gu Zhiyin raised her hand slightly and smiled.

"Thank you, Princess, for sending people to take care of me these days." Leng Moqiu said.

Gu Zhiyin: "As it should be. If my carriage hadn't hit you, you wouldn't have been injured. I came to see you today because I have something to discuss with you."

A look of surprise flashed across Leng Moqiu's cold eyes. He thought to himself that he was just a poor man, so how could he be worthy of the Princess of Ming County?

"You are too polite, Princess. But you can say whatever you want."

"Come into the house and talk."

After saying that, the two of them entered the flower hall one after another and sat opposite each other, one on the left and one on the right.

Ruyi asked someone to make tea.

Gu Zhiyin said, "From your appearance, you must be a student going to Beijing for the imperial examination. I heard from Ruyi that you were in a hurry to leave, and I don't know if the carriage crash will leave any sequelae, so I want to ask you which academy you attend, so that if anything happens, I can find you in time."

"You are too polite, Princess. I am not feeling unwell anywhere." Leng Moqiu said, "Besides, I just came to the capital and have not entered the academy."

Gu Zhiyin: "Where do you live then? I'll ask someone to take you back."

Leng Moqiu smiled bitterly: "No need to send me off. I am not afraid of being laughed at by the Princess. I live in a dilapidated temple outside the city."

Everything in the capital was expensive, and he had spent all his money on the way to the capital. It was not that he did not want to study in the academy, but that he could not pay the tuition.

“If Mr. Leng doesn’t mind, you may stay at the manor and study in peace.” Gu Zhiyin suggested.

Leng Moqiu looked at her, and a thick wall of ice suddenly built up in his eyes covered with ice and snow. He looked at Gu Zhiyin with full vigilance: "This is the first time I meet the Princess of the County. Why is the Princess of the County so nice to me?"

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

What's more, he is penniless, has no background or power, and has nothing worth winning over.

Gu Zhiyin was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Leng, don't be nervous. I just think you look extraordinary and want to make friends with you. If you pass the imperial examination next year and enter the official career, it will also be good for my Gu family or the Pingyang Palace."

"What if I fail the imperial examination?" Leng Moqiu asked.

Gu Zhiyin thought to herself, you underestimate yourself too much!

Not only did he pass the imperial examination, he also won the top spot in the imperial examination.

"Mr. Leng, why do you have to be so serious? If you win, I have more options. If you don't win, I don't lose anything, I just have one more friend. If you have to calculate everything in life, it would be too tiring." Gu Zhiyin smiled softly.

Leng Moqiu stared at Gu Zhiyin in a daze, feeling somewhat moved.

It is dispensable to the Princess of Ming County, but to Leng Moqiu, having a place to stay where he can study with peace of mind is extremely precious.

Leng Moqiu only felt that a trace of warmth was injected into his usually cold heart.

He stood up and saluted Gu Zhiyin seriously and solemnly.

"I will remember the great kindness of the Princess, and will repay you in the future."

Gu Zhiyin's beautiful eyes curved slightly, ah, this is exactly what I want.

"Mr. Leng, please sit down. Please sit down."

"I won't live here for nothing. I can help with whatever work the people here do." Leng Moqiu said.

Gu Zhiyin thought about it and didn't refuse, so she said, "Okay, then the monthly salary will be the same as theirs."

"I don't..." Need a monthly allowance.

Leng Moqiu was shocked and wanted to refuse, but Gu Zhiyin had already stood up: "Master Leng, just focus on your studies. If you need anything, just go to Pingyang Palace to find Ruyi. I will do my best to help you within my ability."

"Many...thank you very much."

Leng Moqiu just lived in the manor. Although he worked with the servants, no one in the manor dared to look down on him. Gu Zhiyin even arranged an independent courtyard for him.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. The sun is scorching, and the brilliant sunlight is splashed on the slender figure in front of the bronze mirror, shining brightly.

"Manager Fang has arrived in Jiangnan. The first batch of grain has been successfully stored. The grain store in Jiangcheng will open on a certain day." Mother Yang stood aside and reported: "In addition, the princess brought another three thousand taels of silver, saying that if it is not enough, she will find a way to get more."

Gu Zhiyin raised her eyebrows and said, "That's enough, tell Big Sister. No need to bring any more money."

Later, she mentioned to Fu Yunyao that she wanted her to invest, and in her own name. Fu Yunyao probably thought that she had no money, so she took out two thousand taels without asking any questions. Fearing that she did not have enough, she gave her another three thousand taels.

"Yes." Mother Yang replied.

After finishing her makeup, Gu Zhiyin took Ruyi and Mother Hu back to the Gu family.

Today is Jiang's birthday, and many relatives and friends were invited to the banquet. Gu Zhiyin and Gu Jinse naturally had to go back as well.

The main courtyard was bustling with activity. Gu Jinse was accompanied back by Shen Linzhou. Her pretty face was filled with happiness, and behind them, there was a young girl.

"I wish my mother good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."

Gu Jinse and Shen Linzhou saluted together.

"May Aunt Gu be happy and joyful forever." The girl bowed and said with a sweet smile.

"Who is this?" Someone looked at her and asked curiously.

Gu Jinse held her head high and replied, "Aunt, she is my sister-in-law, Shen Wanqing."

As Gu Jinse finished speaking, Shen Wanqing bowed to the man obediently.

The man looked flattered and raised his hand quickly: "Oh, Miss Shen, you can't do that."

Their family is not even as good as the Gu family, so how could they accept Shen Wanqing's gift?

Shen Wanqing smiled, her eyes were dark and bright, and her voice was soft and delicate: "Aunt is Wanqing's elder, so she can bear it."

"Miss Shen is really well-educated, polite and elegant." The lady who was called aunt laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth: "Is Miss Shen married?"

"Aunt, what are you talking about?" Gu Jinse glanced at the lady sideways, pouting her red lips slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction.

After hearing this, the lady smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just asking, just asking."

snort!

Gu Jinse snorted in her heart, thinking that she didn't know what she was planning.

Her sister-in-law caught the eye of a nobleman not long ago. Maybe she will be able to rise to the top and become a phoenix in the future. That's something a lowly person like you can't even dream of.

Not only did Gu Jinse look down on him, but Shen Wanqing, who seemed lively and lovely on the surface, also sneered in her heart.

Don't even look at your own identity.
