Quick Wear: The bad female supporting role, the male protagonist prefers

Living in Prince Jin’s Mansion?

The emperor thought of Du Shaoyu, who still had no concubines and no children, and waved his hand, "You saved the Prince of Jin and did him a favor. I will grant you a favor today."

"Appoint your mother as Princess Huaiqing and grant her a house in Xiuyifang for her to live in."

Xiuyifang is not far from the Prince of Jin's Mansion, just a few streets away. It allows Gu Shutang to take care of his biological mother and younger brother, and also provides a place for his troubled brother to be alone with the princess.

Giving the biological mother of the Princess of Jin an identity would not make her, as a relative of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, feel inferior and bring shame to the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

"Your Majesty's grace is great, and I will never forget it."

As soon as Du Shaoyu and Gu Shutang left the palace, the news that she was to be canonized as the Princess of Jin and Gu Shutang's biological mother as the Princess of a County had spread to all the major families in the capital.

Even Gu Shuye in the Gu Mansion got the news before dinner. When she heard that Gu Shutang's biological mother was named Princess Huaiqing and had no connection with the Gu Mansion at all, she felt envious of her elder sister.

It can be said that she turned a disaster into a blessing. Not only did she not have to marry the young marquis who loved to whip his concubines, but she also got her biological mother out of the den of tigers and wolves in the Gu Mansion.

Gu Shuye stared at the bamboo leaves drifting in the wind outside the window, and unconsciously clenched the notes in her hand. Xu was conferred the title of Princess, and even her biological mother, Madam Gu, could not do anything to her.

Gu Shutang was so lucky to meet a responsible husband. Unconsciously, Gu Shuye's thoughts on Fu Baian, who did not dare to challenge the family and only wanted to elope with her, faded.

The dignified Prince of Jin, a member of the royal family, was able to secure the position of principal wife for his elder sister and even benefit his biological mother. Why did Fu Baian refuse to even formally report this to his mother?

He didn't even dare to fight for his and her future, so he wanted her to elope with him.

After this experience, Gu Shuye woke up from the bitterness of love and began to seriously consider her relationship with Fu Boan.

Mrs. Gu, who lived in the same mansion, heard what was happening outside and felt unfair. If Gu Zongqing had not been so anxious to drive Xu and her children out of the mansion, then it would be her, his biological mother, who would be conferred the title of "Princess" today.

After all, there has never been a precedent in this dynasty of requesting an imperial decree for a biological mother without going through the steps of the stepmother.

Gu Shulan, who happened to be in Madam Gu's room, heard her quietly complaining. She thought Madam Gu was naive: "Why does mother think that if my eldest sister hadn't left the palace, you would have been granted the title of 'Junior'? I'm afraid she's asking the emperor for another reward."

The emperor bestowed upon Concubine Xu a title in gratitude to her elder sister for saving Prince Jin. This time, he bestowed upon her the honorific title of "Junjun", which was not an imperial decree bestowed upon a man by bestowing a title upon his wife and son.

Madam Gu was upset by her daughter and her expression was not very good. She calmed herself down and said, "I just said that. Since Gu Shutang has left the mansion, even if she is not the eldest daughter of the mansion, you don't have to call her elder sister in the future."

"You are not young anymore. I have found a good match for you. He is your uncle's cousin."

Gu Shulan's face was embarrassed and she couldn't believe it. "Cousin? Mother, I won't marry you."

Her cousin was spoiled by his uncle and only knew how to spend his time in debauchery. He was far from the husband Gu Shulan had in mind.

"Lan'er, don't be so willful. You are already much better than your sisters."

"Your grandmother and I have already found marriages for your younger sisters. The third girl is married to Mr. Su from the Dali Temple, the fourth girl is married to the young marquis of Anyuan Marquis's family, and although the fifth girl is still young, she has also received inquiries from respectable families."

They were all talented adults. Although they were widowed or had a bad reputation, they were the best marriages for those concubines' daughters.

But that's not the case for her Lan'er. Out of selfishness, she would rather Lan'er marry back to her parents' home.

"Does father know that you have chosen these husbands for your sisters?"

"Of course I know, Lan'er. Your father is very cruel for his career. If your mother hadn't tried so hard to fight for you, I'm afraid you would have married into a wealthy family as a second wife."

Mrs. Gu made up this nonsense so that Gu Shulan would settle down and agree to marry back to her parents' home.

"They are all cousins. It's the same when I marry my third aunt's cousin." Gu Shulan shuddered when she heard the names her mother repeated. Only today did she know that her mother and father actually used them as tools to make money and were bent on climbing up the social ladder.

"no!"

Madam Gu stared at Gu Shulan suspiciously, wondering if she was secretly interacting with those brats from her third sister's family. She put on a stern face:

"Your third aunt's family has long been ruined, and that boy is still a white man. I will never allow you to marry him."

Mrs. Gu was afraid that her daughter would cause trouble because she didn't want to marry her uncle's cousin, so she deliberately detained her daughter in her yard and didn't let her go out.

Under Du Shaoyu's arrangement, Gu Shutang became the daughter of Yixing King Gu Han, was included in the family tree of Yixing Palace, and married out of Yixing Palace.

The King of Yixing was a prince of a different surname who founded the Jing Dynasty. His lineage has been passed down to this day and he has always been loyal to the court.

Prince Yixing married Princess Zhaoping, who was born weak and unable to bear children, and has been childless ever since.

The emperor could not bear to see the Yixing King's lineage die out, and his aunt had no children or grandchildren.

She reached an agreement with King Yixing to recognize Gu Shutang as her daughter. The second son she gave birth to was King Yixing's eldest grandson and was sent back to the palace to be raised.

The Prince of Yixing and the Princess were a famous couple in the capital. Unable to bear the thought of the Princess being alone and without an heir, he specially asked for a descendant who was closely related to the Princess to be raised as his grandson.

When Gu Shutang's mother and brother moved to Xiuyifang, they also moved down from the house.

After Gu Shutang became the daughter of King Yixing, they originally thought that the royal family, as a wealthy family, would definitely look down on them, an orphan and a widow, and they just wanted to have a drink at her wedding.

Unexpectedly, Princess Zhaoping treated them mother and son kindly, and even invited Xu Xiang to help arrange the marriage between Gu Shutang and Prince Jin.

Suddenly, a young girl was missing from Minister Gu's residence, and a daughter became the Princess of Jin in Prince Yixing's residence. Everyone in the capital knew the inside story.

Everyone privately laughed at Minister Gu for being confused. After expelling the daughter from the family, why did he have to step on her to establish a good reputation in front of the emperor?

He did not get the good reputation he wanted, but was disliked by the emperor. I am afraid that his position as the minister will be unstable.

Lord An, the Minister of Rites, was in a good mood when he recalled the emperor's ugly face when Gu Zongqing jumped out to apologize to the emperor when the censor reported Prince Jin and stated that he had expelled his shameful daughter.

When his good minister scolded his daughter for being shameless and having an affair with an adulterer, he ignored the fact that Prince Jin was the emperor's younger brother and Miss Gu was Prince Jin's wife-to-be.

Husband and wife are one body. Scolding Miss Gu is tantamount to scolding Prince Jin for his inappropriate behavior. It can be said that Prince Jin was taught by the current emperor.

Isn't Gu Zongqing's move a disguised questioning of the royal family's upbringing?

Lord An almost laughed out loud in his heart. Gu Zongqing was courting death, and he had even more hope of moving up.
