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

Chapter 42 Will the elder brother-in-law take part in the Spring Examination?

After paying their respects to Jiang, Fu Yunjing and Shen Linzhou went to the front yard together.

"Next spring, brother-in-law, have you ever thought about taking part in the imperial examination to gain fame and honor?" Shen Linzhou asked.

Fu Yunjing glanced at him and said in a bad tone, "What does it have to do with you?"

How could he take part in the imperial examination next year when he didn't even have the title of scholar? Was Shen Linzhou asking this question deliberately to mock him?

Want to feel superior to him?

Stop joking, who is he, Shen Linzhou?

Shen Linzhou was so angry at Fu Yunjing's directness that he choked: "I just care about you."

"Take care of yourself first. Gu Jinse has provoked me time and time again. Gu Zhiyin has a good temper, but I am not. Humph." Fu Yunjing snorted, flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Shen Linzhou hit a snag and became so angry that his face turned blue and he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

what……

He was just relying on his status to show off in front of him. Apart from his status as a prince, he was completely useless.

Shen Linzhou couldn't explain why he couldn't help but want to mock Prince Ming. It seemed that ever since he met Gu Zhiyin last time when he returned home, he had a slight feeling of grief and indignation in his heart.

It obviously made no difference to him who he married, whether it was Gu Zhiyin or Gu Jinse, the Shen family only wanted a beneficial marriage relationship.

Because the Gu family was proposed a marriage by the Pingyang Palace, and they could establish a relationship with the Pingyang Palace, his mother was eager to arrange another girl for him.

But why did Shen Linzhou feel unwilling when he occasionally thought of this matter? The kind of unwillingness that Gu Zhiyin should not have married Fu Yunjing.

It was as if something that originally belonged to him had disappeared invisibly.

"I must be insane."

Shen Linzhou frowned, murmured something, shook off the discomfort in his heart, and went to the front yard.

Gu Jinse took Shen Wanqing for a stroll in the garden.

Shen Wanqing looked at the monotonous garden with disdain in her heart.

This is too small, what's there to see?

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Gu Zhiyin standing in front of a bunch of peonies. Her eyes flickered and she strode over.

"The princess of the county."

Gu Zhiyin heard the voice and turned around.

Shen Wanqing took Gu Jinse's arm and walked towards her: "Life is not easy for the princess of a county, right?"

Gu Zhiyin looked at Shen Wanqing expressionlessly: "Does it have anything to do with you?"

In this life, she no longer needs to be cautious and try to please and endure the Shen family for Shen Linzhou, so when facing Shen Wanqing, Gu Zhiyin was too lazy to pretend to be harmonious.

Shen Wanqing was irritated by Gu Zhiyin's attitude and glared at her with gritted teeth: "I care about you with good intentions, but you have such an attitude. It's too much."

Gu Zhiyin raised her chin slightly, her eyes cold, "Miss Shen, watch your words. It's fine if you don't show courtesy to this princess, but you yell at me. I can punish you for your disrespect."

Gu Jinse was frightened by Gu Zhiyin's sudden arrogance, not to mention Shen Wanqing, whose face turned pale: "I... I didn't."

"Sister, we are all relatives, why are you targeting Qingqing like this?" Gu Jinse frowned slightly and looked at Gu Zhiyin with disapproval, implying that she was bullying others by taking advantage of her power.

Gu Zhiyin sneered: "She started by mocking me for having a hard time. Is that something a relative would say?"

"Well... Qingqing has a straightforward personality and may be a little direct in her words. Why are you so petty?" Gu Jinse complained with a pout. In her opinion, Gu Zhiyin was just trying to be rich. She was angry when the truth was exposed, so she used her status as an excuse. This also showed that Gu Zhiyin's life was indeed not easy.

When Gu Jinse thought about it, she immediately felt balanced.

"Besides, Qingqing is not wrong. I heard that the actress has become even more popular recently. Many people praise her for her talent. I'm afraid she will be favored by Prince Ming even more now."

Gu Zhiyin looked at Gu Jinse calmly: "Are you done?"

Gu Jinse was stunned: "What?"

Gu Zhiyin rolled her eyes secretly, turned around and left. Gu Jinse was not tired of talking, but she was tired of listening to him.

Lin Jianyue suddenly became famous, and a good name at that. Gu Jinse must be the one who is most unhappy about it, so she wants to find a sense of superiority in her. She feels comfortable when she sees that she is suffering.

Suddenly, Shen Wanqing called Gu Zhiyin.

"Wait a minute."

"What does Miss Shen want?" Gu Zhiyin asked in an impatient tone.

"The day after tomorrow the eldest lady of the Minister of War's residence will hold a flower-viewing banquet in the other courtyard. I would like to ask if the Princess has received the invitation?" Shen Wanqing asked.

Gu Zhiyin: "So what if I have it, so what if I don't?"

Shen Jiaqing curled her lips and smiled, saying, "We are all relatives. If the Princess of the County is not invited, I can make an exception and ask for an invitation for her. After all, Miss Li is a close friend of the daughter of the Duke of the Guardian, and the guests at her banquet are all daughters of the most distinguished families."

"The Duke of Protectorate's Mansion?" Gu Zhiyin thought of Liu Zhenzhen.

Shen Wanqing looked at Gu Zhiyin's surprised eyes, and her expression suddenly became a little proud: "Yes, the current queen's maternal family, this is all thanks to my third sister-in-law and Miss Liu's acquaintance, so Miss Li took the initiative to make friends with us."

Not to mention that Young Master Li is very fond of me, so maybe I will be able to marry into the Shangshu Mansion soon.

Hearing that Gu Jinse and Liu Zhenzhen knew each other, Gu Zhiyin subconsciously looked towards Gu Jinse.

Gu Jinse thought Gu Zhiyin was shocked, so she raised her chin haughtily, like a proud peacock.

In fact, she had never met Miss Liu. Everything was told to her by Miss Li, who said that Miss Liu was looking for her benefactor, whose surname was Gu. At first, Gu Jinse did not dare to claim herself as Miss Liu's benefactor, but Miss Li said that she helped Miss Liu on the street at a designated time. She recalled that she did go to the street that Miss Li mentioned on that day.

She admitted this at the time, and then Miss Li immediately identified herself as Miss Liu's benefactor.

Gu Jinse thought that with Miss Li's family background, she would have to investigate thoroughly before finding herself. Maybe she really helped Miss Liu unintentionally but she didn't take it to heart.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinse accepted it with peace of mind.

And later she discovered that the relationship with the Duke of Protector's daughter, her benefactor, brought her countless conveniences.

First, her husband entered the Beijing Guards and was highly regarded. Then, the wife of the Minister of War intended to marry into the Shen family, and her father-in-law was also valued by Minister Li of the Ministry of War. As a result, she made friends with many wealthy and powerful women whom she had never dared to think of before.

Miss Liu wanted to come find her before, but she had a big fight with Lin Jianyue at that time, and her face was so bruised and swollen that she couldn't see anyone.

After the wound on her face healed, Miss Liu followed the wife of the Duke of Protectorate back to her maternal grandparents' home to visit relatives. She would be able to meet Liu Zhenzhen at the flower-viewing banquet the day after tomorrow.

With Liu Zhenzhen's relationship, she might be able to go a step further and get to know the royal princess.
