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

When Zhao heard this, she was shocked and said, "No, if you don't go, the Duke of the Guard will say that you look down on them. They invited you with great difficulty, don't offend them."

Gu Jinse paused, then nodded and said, "I understand, mother."

"I will ask the accountant to give you 100 taels of silver tomorrow. Go buy some jewelry and clothes and dress up nicely. Don't lose face for the Shen family." Zhao said.

"Thank you, mother."

Gu Jinse bowed with joy on her face and thanked him, but she couldn't help but sneered in her heart.

One hundred taels?

If it were any other time, it would be a lot, but for the banquet at the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, she would definitely have to go to Yuxiang Pavilion to buy jewelry and ask the embroiderer at Shi Jinxuan to make clothes. One hundred taels was not enough. Zhao was just treating a beggar like a beggar.

The Huguogong Mansion is mainly large and majestic, showing the style of a century-old family, with endless pink walls and black tiles, and pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner. Lush flowers and trees grow over the walls, and the fragrance of flowers wafts in the air, making people intoxicated.

Wen and Gu Zhiyin followed the maid who led the way and walked inside. From a distance, they saw Liu Zhenzhen running towards them with her skirt lifted up.

The moment she saw Gu Zhiyin, she jumped up and waved, then quickly ran to her, panting softly: "Gu...Sister Gu!"

Gu Zhiyin nodded with a smile and called out, "Zhenzhen."

Liu Zhenzhen calmed down and bowed to Wen: "Greetings, Princess Pingyang."

Mrs. Wen smiled and raised her hand: "Miss Liu, please don't be polite. I wonder where the Duke's wife is?"

"My mother is entertaining guests in the waterside pavilion. Please come this way, Princess." Liu Zhenzhen made a gesture of invitation and said.

Wen smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

The two followed Liu Zhenzhen towards the water pavilion in the backyard.

The stone path winds through the dense filaments of flowers. The light is soft under the shade of the trees. Passing through the porch and into the depths of the courtyard, the lotus in the lake exudes a faint fragrance. The petals are like snow, floating quietly on the green water, and blooming with brilliant brilliance under the sunlight.

As we approached the waterside pavilion, we could hear bursts of laughter coming from inside.

Liu Zhenzhen led the two of them into the water pavilion. Sitting in the upper middle seat was a beautiful woman dressed in rich and gorgeous clothes.

"Mother, Princess Pingyang and Sister Gu are here."

When the wife of the Duke of Huguo saw her daughter, she smiled with love in her eyes. After listening to her introduction, she stood up and greeted Wen: "Greetings, Princess."

Princess Pingyang was immediately flattered and hurriedly helped the wife of the Duke of Huguo, saying, "Madam, there is no need to be so polite."

Wen knew that the reason why the wife of the Duke of Huguo was so polite to her was because of Gu Zhiyin.

Otherwise, why would the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion invite her to the banquet?

I have been married into the Prince of Pingyang's Palace for so many years, but I have had no contact with the wife of the Duke of Huguo.

Seeing how courteous the wife of the Duke of Protectorate was, many of the people present also bowed to the two of them.

"Greetings to the princess, Princess of the County."

"Hello, Aunt Liu." Gu Zhiyin greeted the wife of the Duke of Huguo with a faint smile.

The wife of the Duke of Huguo looked at Gu Zhiyin and was overjoyed. She invited the two of them to sit down: "Princess, please sit down."

As soon as Wen and Gu Zhiyin sat down, the ladies around them began to greet them warmly.

"It's been a long time since I last saw Princess. How are you these days? This is my first time seeing the Princess of a County. She is truly a beautiful lady, and all the flowers in the garden are outshined by her."

Wen looked at the lady who was speaking and smiled, "Mrs. Luo, you are so kind. We Yun Jing are so lucky. The most precious thing is that this child has a dignified character, is gentle and virtuous, and my mother-in-law likes him very much."

"It's really a good idea to marry a virtuous woman," another lady continued.

Wen: "Yes, he is also very capable and has managed the palace in an orderly manner. Even Yun Jing has made great progress recently."

Can Fu Yunjing make progress? I'm afraid the sun is rising from the west.

Many ladies silently complained in their hearts, thinking that Wen was just trying to save face by saying this, and no one took it seriously.

At the gate of the Duke of Huguo's mansion, a carriage with red wheels and a canopy slowly stopped. Guards wearing silver armor and holding swords led the way, and palace maids in green palace costumes followed in an orderly manner behind.

Many ladies who were about to enter the house stopped in their tracks when they saw this grand scene and looked at the carriage with respect.

The eunuch driving the carriage nimbly took the footrest and placed it on the ground. The door opened, and the first person to walk out was a pretty palace maid.

She turned around, stretched out her hand towards the car, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, we're here!"

As soon as the palace maid finished speaking, the girl placed her green jade-like fingers on the back of the palace maid's hand and slowly walked out.

The girl stepped off the car on a stool. Her aquamarine skirt embroidered with pink crabapple peony swayed gently, drawing a winding arc. There was a brilliant smile on her bright face, and her brows were full of energy.

"Greetings to the Tenth Princess. May the Princess be blessed with good health and happiness!"

Everyone bowed and greeted the girl.

As a princess born of the empress, Chu Luoning has an innate temperament and is indescribably noble. She raised her hand: "No need to be polite!"

After saying that, she raised her leg and was about to walk inside.

"The princess is so beautiful! The princess is so beautiful!"

Just then, the cheerful cry of a parrot was heard behind him.

Chu Luoning stopped instantly and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Princess, please calm down. It was my bird that disturbed you. Please forgive me."

Gu Jinse stood in front of the carriage and knelt down to apologize to Chu Luoning.

"Ah, beauty...beauty, look at me!"

Chu Luoning strode towards Gu Jinse, with uncontrollable curiosity in his eyes, but pretended to be mature and pursed his lips and said, "Show me."

Gu Jinse smiled slightly: "Yes, Your Highness."

As he said this, he went to the carriage and took out the birdcage himself.

In the large birdcage, a red-headed parrot stood on the shelf, with emerald green feathers on its body, which was very eye-catching in the sun.

"Princess Jin'an, Princess Jin'an, Princess Jin'an!"

The parrot called happily to Chu Luoning again.

Chu Luoning's beautiful eyes were full of love, and he immediately said without hesitation: "It's really interesting, I like it."

"The princess likes it, it's a blessing, I'm giving it to the princess." Gu Jinse said with a smile: "Just before I left the house, it suddenly flew into the carriage and I couldn't catch it no matter how hard I tried. It shows that it and the princess are destined to be together."

Chu Luoning took the bird cage and looked at Gu Jinse, raising his delicate chin slightly: "What's your name?"

The thirteen-year-old girl is as precious as gold and jade, with a flamboyant and dignified look.

Gu Jinse's lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of pride. "In reply to the princess, my surname is Gu Jinse, my husband's surname is Shen, and I am a doctor in the Ministry of Works. My husband is the third child in the family."

"Gu Jinse..." Chu Luoning murmured softly, "Sounds a little familiar."

When Gu Jinse heard this, her face froze slightly. She thought that the Tenth Princess might have heard about the conflict between her and her from Liu Zhenzhen. She was about to explain a few words, but saw Chu Luoning waved his hand nonchalantly and said.

"You are very sensible. Come on, follow me in."
