After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

The third prince pointed to the sky and swore with a serious face.

"I, Zhao Lingzhou, will only have Gu Xingruo as my woman in this life. If I break this oath, I will be punished by heaven and earth. I will die a miserable death in a foreign land!"

With his promise, Gu Xingruo felt much more at ease. Without any better options, she could only reluctantly agree to be a concubine.

Zhao Lingzhou asked someone to calculate the auspicious date and proposed marriage to Gu Boqing. He also planned to marry Gu Xingruo according to the standards for a principal wife and give her the best.

The Third Prince's mansion was bustling with activity at this time, and Gu Boqing had a hard time finding him.

Facing his future father-in-law, Zhao Lingzhou respectfully invited him to sit down, and the tea served was Biluochun, the finest tea tribute from Jiangnan.

"You came to ask about my and Xingruo's wedding, right? Don't worry, the preparations are almost done. Everything about the wedding banquet is prepared according to her preferences. She will definitely like it."

Gu Xingruo wanted to have a special wedding, so she drew a picture for him and asked him to decorate it according to the style in the picture.

Even the wedding dress is unique, unprecedented and unparalleled.

Zhao Lingzhou was very hesitant at first, but making her a concubine was already an injustice to her, so he was naturally happy to listen to her on these small matters.

Although it was against etiquette, she liked it and was willing to do it even if she was laughed at by thousands of people.

But Zhao Lingzhou never expected that he would be ridiculed so severely.

"That... Your Highness, this is not what I want to talk about. It's... Jin Chi."

"The ministers who have a good relationship with him have been causing trouble for me recently. I have more and more official work to do. I was thinking... could you help me transfer to the Ministry of Revenue so that I can do some lighter work?"

Ever since Jin Yuanyuan became the player of the International Chess game and achieved the number one spot, many ministers have been moving closer to Jin Chi.

Although Jin Yuanyuan is a girl, she is such a young genius.

She will definitely have a bright future.

Maybe in order to improve the genes of his offspring, the emperor would let her marry a prince, and it is possible that she would become the mother of the country in the future.

The Jin family is a noble family, and the prince is definitely worthy of it. The Jin family has deep roots in Tianyuan Kingdom, so they naturally have to curry favor with them.

Gu Boqing thought that Jin Ruoyun would definitely regret the divorce, but the reality was the opposite of what he expected.

When he heard that he was to be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, the third prince's lips twitched, with a hint of disgust.

"This... You don't know that my power in the court is not stable yet. If I rashly transfer it, it will definitely cause my father to suspect that I am forming a clique for personal gain. I'm afraid I can't help you."

"Although I can't help you this time, next time, if you have any questions, just tell me and I will do it."

This Gu Boqing, do you think he is the turtle in the wishing well! He still wants to go to the Ministry of Revenue...

That was a lucrative position in charge of the taxation and financial expenditure of Tianyuan State. Many people tried their best to get in, but he could go there just because he wanted to?!

Zhao Lingzhou has been dealing with the emperor and winning over various princes and ministers for many years. He knows very well that as long as he can get a hold of something against them, they will not leave even if they don't give up the benefits.

Gu Boqing’s weakness is power.

He hoped that he would become emperor in the future and Gu Boqing would become the father-in-law of the emperor.

Even if he couldn't get this done at the Ministry of Revenue, he wouldn't go to the prince. At most, he would be scolded by him behind his back.

His guess was correct. After being rejected, Gu Boqing left the palace and cursed at the gate in a very obscene manner.

"You bastard, you're destroying the bridge! I promised to marry my daughter to you, but now you turn around and ignore me, your father-in-law? You have no shame!"

He returned home and became angrier and angrier, but there was nothing he could do as the problem was still not solved and he would continue to be troubled the next day.

He looked at the desk, and had not yet dealt with documents that were higher than his. Gu Boqing hesitated for a while, sighed, and picked up the pen to write the wedding invitation himself.

In the general's mansion.

Jin Yuanyuan is now a famous little prodigy in Kyoto.

Just as he was about to go out to accept the people's praise, he saw Jiang Yuyan hesitating not far away outside the general's mansion.

Seeing her, Jiang Yuyan pursed her lips embarrassedly and her face turned red.

"Yuanyuan, is your second brother here?"

Jin Yuanyuan answered obediently, "No, he went to the barracks. Sister Jiang, do you have anything to do with him?"

I always feel that since Lord Jiang recovered from his illness, the relationship between my second brother and her has become very subtle~

It is obvious that the second brother didn’t know that Jiang Beiyan liked him and always treated her as a boy, but look at Sister Jiang’s shy attitude.

Looking at the food box in her hand, she really looks like a young lady delivering food to her husband.

Hearing that the person was in the barracks, Jiang Beiyan understood.

"In the military camp, I see. Thank you, Yuanyuan. This is for you. I made this water chestnut crisp myself. Try it and see if it tastes good."

Ever since he met Gu Ci at the Lantern Festival that day, every time they met, he seemed to no longer treat her as a brother.

Not only did he not dare to look her in the eye, but sometimes he would stare at her in a daze.

Could it be that he...likes me a little?

With this suspicion, she remembered it to confirm, and specially learned how to make water chestnut crisps from her mother. She didn't even taste it herself, and rushed to bring it to him.

Since there was something delicious, Jin Yuanyuan naturally wouldn't refuse and took it happily.

"Wow, Sister Jiang is really amazing. She can even make pastries. Yuanyuan must try them, hehe."

However, she remembered that Jiang Beiyan in the book didn’t seem to be able to cook. Could it be that the butterfly effect allowed her to cook?

When I see the water chestnut cake, I no longer think about those trivial things.

The water chestnut cake looked crispy and delicious, and she couldn't wait to take a big bite.

Just one bite and she almost vomited out her overnight meal.

This water chestnut crisp... is actually salty!!!

It’s very salty, as if you are biting into a salt brick!

Jin Yuanyuan ate so much that her voice became hoarse.

"Jiang... ahem, Sister Jiang, did you eat this water chestnut cake yourself?"

This was the second time she met Sister Jiang, so it was difficult to be too direct, so she could only give her a subtle reminder.

Jiang Beiyan shook her head honestly, "No, I was anxious to give it to your second brother, so I brought it here when I finished cooking. I don't know how to cook, and I couldn't even tell the difference between sugar and salt at first, so I was in a rush when I was cooking."

"My mother said that my cooking skills were not good enough, so I put more sugar. If it was a little sweet, you wouldn't be able to taste any other flavors."

She glanced at the sky. It was getting late. If she went too late, she would miss Gu Ci.

"Yuanyuan, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to the military camp to find your second brother first. Don't run around by yourself. If you want to go out, go back and find an adult to follow you. Got it."

After saying this, he walked away in a hurry.

Jin Yuanyuan stretched out Erkang's hand, "Sister! Sister Jiang!! " She was choked and could only make a weak sound.

Jiang Beiyan walked so fast that she didn't hear anyone calling her.

Jin Yuanyuan lit a candle for Gu Ci in her heart.

I hope that my second brother can eat Sister Jiang’s water chestnut cake and live to see tomorrow’s sun.

She was choking so much that she didn't plan to go out. She ran home and gulped down a bottle of water.

Jin Ruoyun saw this and quickly stopped him, "Yuanyuan, why did you drink so much water? Don't drink it. Drinking too much will give you a stomachache and bloating."

Jin Yuanyuan lowered her voice and said, "Mom, if I don't drink it, I will be sick now."

Just when Jin Ruoyun wanted to ask why her voice was hoarse, Ding Xiang came in anxiously and reported:

"Madam, Gu Boqing is here! He said he must see you, and if he can't see you, he will stay at the door and won't leave!"

How dare he come to the General's Mansion!

He treated their young lady so badly before, and now he is shamelessly asking for a meeting. What a bitch!

"No, no, we won't see you!" Jin Yuanyuan shouted hoarsely, like a duck quacking.

Dingxiang was confused and looked around the room, very puzzled.

"Ma'am, do you have ducks? Why do I hear quacking sounds?"
