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

Sun Ruqian knelt down and bowed to Gu Zhiyin: "Greetings, Princess Ming."

"Miss Sun, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat." Gu Zhiyin raised her hand and said with a smile.

She didn't know whether Sun Ruqian was engaged to the third son of the Liu family, but in her previous life, this girl ended up marrying into the Fifth Prince's mansion.

I don’t know if my rebirth will cause a butterfly effect and change the lives of others. After all, I had no connection with the Duke of Protectorate’s Mansion in my previous life.

Liu Zhenzhen and Sun Ruqian sat down one after another.

Gu Zhiyin poured tea for the two of them. Sun Ruqian looked flattered and stood up quickly: "How dare I trouble the Princess?"

"No, Miss Sun, please sit down. You're welcome." Gu Zhiyin smiled slightly.

Liu Zhenzhen bit into the cake and said to Sun Ruqian in a vague voice, "Sister Sun, don't be so reserved. Sister Gu is very easy to get along with."

Sun Ruqian smiled shyly at Gu Zhiyin and explained to Liu Zhenzhen: "The status of the Princess of a County is noble, and it is not in accordance with etiquette."

Although she was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion and had never had any dealings with the people from the Pingyang Palace in the past, her status was there, and Gu Zhiyin, the Princess of the County, was indeed more noble than them.

Liu Zhenzhen blinked and said as a matter of course: "Then don't treat her as a princess."

Sun Ruqian smiled and didn't respond.

Liu Zhenzhen is a favored daughter of heaven, cared for and doted on by her parents and brothers, and even more loved and favored by the Queen. It can be said that she can almost do whatever she wants. Except for the legitimate daughters of the Empress, all illegitimate daughters of princesses have to be polite to her when they see her, so she is naturally unscrupulous.

But the legitimate princess is her cousin. Although the princess is willful, she is very protective of her child.

Gu Zhiyin considerately pushed the cakes in front of Liu Zhenzhen and said, "I'd like to invite you to have tea today. I have something to ask of you."

Liu Zhenzhen patted her chest proudly: "Just tell me what's going on." She couldn't help but narrow her eyes as she ate with satisfaction: "Hey, this cake is delicious, I haven't eaten it before, is it a new product?"

Gu Zhiyin smiled and said, "I made it. If you like it, I'll make it for you next time."

"Yes."

"The wife of the Duke of Protectorate is hosting a banquet. Can I ask for an extra invitation so that I can bring my second sister along?" Gu Zhiyin said.

Liu Zhenzhen nodded: "Sure."

It’s just an invitation. If Sister Gu wants it, it’s no problem for her to take eight or ten.

Since she spoke, there must be a reason why she had to speak.

She knew without asking that Gu Jinse must have used coercion and bribery, and she couldn't make things difficult for Sister Gu.

Gu Zhiyin looked at Liu Zhenzhen who agreed without hesitation, and her heart was moved: "Thank you very much."

"Sister Gu, it's too polite to say that." Liu Zhenzhen grinned.

Before dark, the invitation from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion was delivered to Gu Jinse.

Gu Jinse held the post excitedly, and couldn't help but sneer at Gu Zhiyin in her heart. Since her father was in charge, she had to be obedient.

"Let's go see our mother."

Gu Jinse said this, picked up the note and left.

The maids hurried to follow.

In the main courtyard, Zhao was teaching her daughter how to look at the accounts in the room. Upon hearing the report from the servants outside, she hurriedly closed the account book and put it aside.

Gu Jinse walked into the room and took a look at the account book on the table, feeling annoyed.

The eldest wife helped with the housekeeping and also taught Shen Wanqing how to look after the accounts, but she excluded her from the whole thing and didn't allow her to get involved in anything.

Shen Linzhou is her biological son, and the Shen family's property should have a share from their third branch. But this old woman, Zhao, is so thick-skinned and it's clear that she looks down on her.

Wait for her.

When Shen Linzhou is promoted to marquis one day, she will have a chance to be proud of herself.

"Hello, mother." Gu Jinse greeted Zhao.

"Fourth sister is here too."

"It's so late, is there something wrong?" Zhao asked lightly, holding the teacup.

Gu Jinse smiled and said, "The servants of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion just sent an invitation, so I came to tell my mother."

When Zhao heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help but sit up straight. She looked at Gu Jinse with a big smile on her face: "Really?"

Gu Jinse curled her lips proudly and handed over the gold-plated invitation card in her hand: "Mother, look."

Zhao couldn't wait to take it, opened it and looked at it, and immediately smiled: "Haha, it's true, that's great."

Shen Wanqing propped herself up, leaned over and looked anxiously at the invitation in Zhao's hand. Seeing that the content was indeed a banquet at the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, her expression became excited.

"It's an invitation from the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. Mom, I finally have the chance to attend the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion's banquet."

Shen Wanqing grabbed Zhao's arm and shook it continuously.

Zhao was dizzy from her shaking, but she couldn't suppress her joy: "Yes, yes, yes, oh, please stop shaking, I'm dizzy."

Shen Wanqing stuck out her tongue, jumped three feet high in excitement, and jumped in front of Gu Jinse in a few steps. She pulled her and said with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, you are so amazing. I will go buy jewelry and make new clothes tomorrow."

On that day, I must dress up beautifully. Maybe with my looks, I can catch the eye of the young master of the Duke of Huguo's mansion.

Gu Jinse looked at Shen Wanqing who was immersed in beautiful fantasies, and a deep contempt flashed across her eyes.

When she was driven away by Liu Zhenzhen, Shen Wanqing beat her up.

Now that she had received an invitation from the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, she began to call her "Third Sister-in-law" affectionately.

shameless!

"But..." Gu Jinse opened her mouth, looking at Zhao and Shen Wanqing with hesitation.

Zhao's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"

"I am the only one invited on this post. If I bring my fourth sister along, it would be inappropriate and make it seem like my family doesn't know the rules."

Shen Wanqing's smile froze on her face in an instant, and the wind blew it apart.

Zhao's face suddenly darkened: "Since you have sent an invitation, what's the harm in bringing Qingqing along? Don't you want to bring her?"

Gu Jinse pursed her lips, looked at Zhao in embarrassment and said, "Mother has misunderstood her daughter-in-law. I am also worried that the servants of the Huguo Mansion will follow the invitation and stop Fourth Sister from leaving. Wouldn't it be embarrassing in front of so many guests?"

"Don't worry, Fourth Sister. Once I have established a good relationship with Miss Liu, I will be able to freely enter and leave the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion in the future. I will naturally not forget you."

Zhao frowned and remained silent for a while, feeling that what Gu Jinse said made sense.

The Duke of Protectorate's Mansion is such a powerful and noble family that the guests invited to the banquet are either rich or noble. There must have been a lot of people that day. Guests entered the mansion with invitations, and the servants followed the rules. They didn't really stop her daughter from entering, which would be really embarrassing.

"Qingqing, your third sister-in-law is right. Let's forget about it this time and wait for next time." Zhao persuaded her daughter softly.

Shen Wanqing gritted her teeth, looked at Zhao, then glared at Gu Jinse, and finally ran away crying.

"Qingqing, Qingqing..." Zhao shouted anxiously.

Gu Jinse sighed helplessly and said to Zhao: "Or... I'd better postpone it. Fourth sister is so sad, it's not good for me to go alone."
