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

"Yes, Princess." Gu Jinse's face lit up and she bowed quickly.

It seems that I made the right move.

Even though she was imprisoned by the Fu family for many years in her previous life and failed to break into the top circle of noble ladies in the capital, but after living a new life, she always knew some things better than others.

She didn't know Chu Luoning's preferences, but she knew how to find out.

The Empress was born in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. Her legitimate daughter, the Tenth Princess, was the Duke of Protectorate's niece. She had a close relationship with Liu Zhenzhen since childhood. How could Chu Luoning not attend the banquet held by the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion?

She had kept a parrot a few years ago, but it was scared away by firecrackers during the New Year, and the Tenth Princess was sad for a long time.

She ordered people to find one of similar quality, and trained it to be sweet-mouthed and smart, so as to lure it to make a sound when Chu Luoning appeared. Sure enough, Chu Luoning was attracted.

Although the little princess has a spoiled temperament, she is innocent and simple as she was raised under protection.

The Tenth Princess accepted her parrot. She felt that she had become familiar to her and that she would think of her whenever she saw the parrot. She never expected that the Tenth Princess would actually invite her to move into the palace. This was a pleasant surprise.

Walking beside the Tenth Princess is telling others that you are someone the Tenth Princess recognizes.

Gu Jinse suppressed the excitement in her heart and walked behind Chu Luoning neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Chu Luoning carried the bird cage and walked towards the water pavilion happily.

"Aunt, cousin."

Before anyone arrived, a clear voice had already been heard.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the pavilion stood up and saluted.

Chu Luoning jumped up to the wife of the Duke of Huguo and couldn't wait to show off the cage to her: "Aunt, look at my parrot."

"Didn't you say you wouldn't keep birds anymore?" Liu Zhenzhen asked, taking a look at the parrot in the cage.

Uh……

Her cousin's question made her feel a little embarrassed.

"I don't raise birds, but I didn't say I don't raise parrots. What's more, I have a connection with them. When the connection comes, it can't be stopped." Chu Luoning blinked and said as a matter of course.

Liu Zhenzhen: “…”

You are the princess and you have the final say.

Everyone in the palace knew that the Tenth Princess was sad because she had lost her beloved pet. Even when a new parrot was found for her, she was furious and refused to accept it, saying that she only wanted the original one. From then on, in order to make the princess sad and angry, no one dared to mention it, let alone give her a parrot.

Now she can't wait to bring her new pet to show off to them, it seems that she has let it go.

"The people in the Fourth Bureau are really thoughtful." Liu Zhenzhen said with a smile.

It was a good thing they were lucky. If the Tenth Princess was still brooding over it, these people would be in big trouble.

Chu Luoning tilted her head and said, "It wasn't sent by someone from the Fourth Bureau, it was sent by her." As she spoke, she pointed at Gu Jinse behind her.

Liu Zhenzhen looked in the direction of her hand and saw Gu Jinse, her beautiful brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Madam Duke, how are you? Miss Liu, how are you!" Gu Jinse bowed with a smile.

The wife of the Duke of Protectorate's eyes dimmed a little, nodded at her, then asked the others to sit down and told the maid to serve tea.

Liu Zhenzhen glanced at Gu Jinse, then pulled Chu Luoning aside and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean she sent it? When did you have any contact with Gu Jinse?"

Chu Luoning blinked and looked at Liu Zhenzhen's solemn expression. A flash of lightning passed through his mind and he instantly revealed an expression of understanding.

"Oh... I remember now. No wonder her name sounded familiar. She was the one who almost hit you on the street because she was rude to my cousin."

"Yes." Liu Zhenzhen nodded: "This person is trying to curry favor with powerful people, so we can't have a deep friendship."

Chu Luoning smiled and said, "I'm a princess, so naturally she wants to get close to me, but I like this parrot..." She recounted what happened in front of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.

The implication was that the gift Gu Jinse gave was very much to her liking.

Among all the ladies in the capital, who wouldn't want to please her?

Chu Luoning knew exactly what Gu Jinse was thinking, and for the sake of this parrot, he could give her some face.

"You may like it, but don't be fooled." Liu Zhenzhen smiled helplessly.

Although they are cousins, the Tenth Princess is very protective of herself, but Liu Zhenzhen still knows her limits and does not dare to ask Chu Luoning what to do.

"Don't worry, cousin. I'm not that easy to fool." Chu Luoning said, "But cousin, she bullied you so much back then, and you actually invited her here? What were you thinking?"

"I've already taught her a lesson. Even if this matter is over, she and Sister Gu are sisters. If I argue with her, it will embarrass Sister Gu. Anyway, I will ignore her." Liu Zhenzhen said, "Come here, I'll introduce Sister Gu to you."

Gu Jinse stood aside, watching Liu Zhenzhen pulling Chu Luoning towards Gu Zhiyin, twisting the handkerchief tightly between her fingers, and sat down with a gentle smile on her face, suppressing the jealousy in her heart and not daring to show it at all.

She finally won the favor of the Tenth Princess, but Liu Zhenzhen brought her to Gu Zhiyin with just a few words.

Gu Zhiyin was able to get acquainted with the Tenth Princess without any effort, but she had no intention of taking him with her.

"Greetings to the Tenth Princess. May Your Highness be blessed with good health." Gu Zhiyin stood up and saluted Chu Luoning.

Chu Luoning handed the bird cage in his hand to the maid, folded his hands in front of him, and nodded slightly to Gu Zhiyin: "Princess, there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"I have heard my cousin mention you many times. It was thanks to your help that she was able to return home safely." Chu Luoning looked at Gu Zhiyin seriously, with a seriousness and calmness that was beyond her age on her pretty face.

She is the legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager and has a noble status. Her mother said that her every word and action represents the royal family and she must not make any mistakes.

Gu Zhiyin smiled lightly and said, "It was just a coincidence at the beginning. I just did it casually. I don't dare to take credit for it."

"You are not only my cousin's good friend, but also my friend. If you need anything from me in the future, just let me know."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Gu Zhiyin said with a soft look.

At this time, Liu Zhenzhen said to Gu Zhiyin, "By the way, before you came, Princess Yunhua sent someone to tell you that she was ill in bed and would not come, so as not to spread the disease."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyin couldn't help but look surprised: "Are you still sick?"

"Why, has she been sick for a long time?" Liu Zhenzhen asked.

Gu Zhiyin nodded, her expression somewhat heavy.

When Lin Jianyue had an affair with someone, the eldest sister fell ill and did not return to the palace.

It's been so long and it's still not healed?

Isn't it just an ordinary cold?

Gu Zhiyin felt a little annoyed that she hadn't even thought of going to the Xing'an Marquis' Mansion to see her.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the maid report that the wife of Marquis Xing'an had arrived.

She raised her eyes slightly and saw the wife of Marquis Xing'an walking towards the water pavilion with a smile on her face. Behind her was Pei Shuyan, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had pearls and jade on her hair.

Gu Zhiyin's face suddenly darkened.

She subconsciously looked towards Wen, and saw that Wen was also looking at her with anger in his eyes.
