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

"Since Gu Qing expelled Princess Jin from the family, then Princess Jin is no longer your daughter. Why are you apologizing to me?"

"The Princess of Jin is the daughter of Grand Princess Zhaoping. She behaves like a Grand Princess, not the disloyal or unfilial person that Gu Qing claims. I hope you will be careful with your words."

If the Prince of Jin became the most powerful person among the powerful people like Gu Zongqing, then wouldn't he, the emperor, be a tyrant who allowed his own brother to ignore the laws of the country?

Princess Zhaoping was a famous virtuous woman in the Jing Dynasty. The emperor's words were to stop Gu Zongqing from speaking any further.

After returning home, Gu Zongqing recalled what the emperor said at the morning court session. He studied it carefully in the study and broke out in a cold sweat.

The emperor's words clearly showed his dissatisfaction with him.

He underestimated the status of Prince Jin in the emperor's heart. He lost the big picture for the sake of the small, not to mention his good reputation. Now he only hopes that the emperor will not worry about this matter and keep his current official position.

But things were not as simple as Gu Zongqing thought. He was reprimanded five times by the emperor within five days of taking office and was ordered to go home and reflect on his actions.

He was not the emperor's confidant. He might have been very talented when he was young, but now he was over fifty years old and was lazy about his duties. His ability had decreased a bit, which made the emperor dislike him.

It just so happened that Gu Zongqing was caught in the crossfire and wanted to use the reputation of Prince Jin and his wife to enhance his reputation as an upright and honest person.

Gu Zongqing was still thinking about the ridicule from outside, and he made a mistake in his job because of distraction, which just gave the emperor a reason to punish him.

The frustrated Gu Zongqing stayed in the mansion and had been planning the opportunity to return to the court. Whenever he saw Madam Gu and Old Lady Gu, he was always unhappy in his heart, and even showed it on his face.

Old Mrs. Gu was his mother who gave birth to him and raised him. Jing Chao valued filial piety, so he couldn't vent his anger on his old mother, but Mrs. Gu was only his wife.

Gu Zongqing forgot that he was the main decision maker. Whenever he saw Mrs. Gu, he would curse her. His words implied that she had caused him to lose his daughter, the princess, and his son-in-law, the prince, and had also caused him to lose the emperor's favor.

Mrs. Gu was exhausted by Gu Zongqing's constant nitpicking, and her feelings for Gu Zongqing were not as strong as before. She was only thinking about arranging the marriages of her two children.

Gu Shulan's brother had already been engaged to the daughter of the Taifu family, but because the Taifu family's daughter had to observe mourning for her mother, the marriage was postponed for three years.

This year is the perfect time to finish mourning, so we can arrange the wedding and marry Gu Shulan back to her parents' home the following year.

Mrs. Gu had a firm idea in mind, but Gu Zongqing was dissatisfied with her and even disliked his daughter. When he proposed to arrange a marriage for Gu Shulan with her family, he was opposed by Gu Zongqing.

"Your nephew is useless, how can he be worthy of my precious daughter? I think the prince of Jingguo and Lan'er are a perfect match."

Mrs. Gu and Gu Shulan, who was eavesdropping behind the screen, both lost their composure. Especially Gu Shulan behind the screen, her face was completely pale. In order to prevent herself from losing composure and making any sound, she pinched her palms until they bled.

The prince of Jingguo was a very dissolute person. He lived in brothels and stayed there all day long. He was also a frequent visitor to Nanfeng Pavilion. Moreover, his appearance was hard to describe and his height was not even as high as that of an ordinary lady.

Rumor has it that the prince of Jingguo spent all his time in the company of other women and had contracted syphilis, and that he was anxious to marry just to have children.

Most of the noble ladies looked down on him, so Duke Jingguo set his sights on some middle-class families with unstable foundations in the capital.

These days, her mother kept telling her how lucky her elder sister was that she avoided the good marriage chosen by her father.

Previously, the Duke Jingguo's Mansion had set its sights on the most beautiful eldest daughter of the Gu family. They believed that even if Gu Shutang's beauty could not win the heart of the Duke Jingguo's son, she could at least seduce him and leave him with a few offspring.

Gu Shulan pursed her lips. Now that her father had betrothed her to the prince of Jingguo, she finally understood why her elder sister would take such a big risk to ruin the marriage.

Gu Shutang had a very comfortable month in Prince Jin's Mansion. On the first day she entered the mansion, Prince Jin handed over the household affairs to her. The servants were also well trained and respected her as the princess very much.

During the day, Prince Jin treated her as if she were just a roommate, as if she were a subordinate who managed the palace. He would not treat her badly and the entire Prince Jin's palace was at her disposal.

But at night he seemed like a different person. He took her to the room as soon as it got dark, and said all kinds of nice things to her as if they were free, and showed the warmth of an ordinary couple.

Except that she could not stand the King of Jin's noise at night, she returned to her room early and went to bed in the middle of the night, and slept until noon every morning.

At this time, Gu Shutang was thankful that although she had a mother-in-law, she had lived in the deep palace for a long time and did not have to visit her every morning and evening and pay her respects, otherwise she would have been completely ruined.

The palace banquet was about to begin, but Du Shaoyu still pestered her like a fool, and even bit her neck, leaving a red mark that was almost invisible even from her palace dress.

When Gu Shutang saw the happy expression of the nanny serving beside her, her face turned red with shame. She locked the gate of the courtyard early that night to prevent the unrestrained man from coming in.

Du Shaoyu had more official business to do today, so he returned home as soon as he finished it. The stars were already hanging in the sky.

After being turned away at the main courtyard gate, he rubbed his nose, realizing that he had been making too much trouble in the past few days, and sent away the servants who were following him.

He used his martial arts to climb over the courtyard wall and sneak into the boudoir at night. This slightly sneaky action made the secret guard on the tree twitch his mouth, and he turned his face to the other side expressionlessly.

He got into the house as he wished, and just gently hugged the sleeping Gu Shutang, took out a tube of ointment from his sleeve, and applied it to Gu Shutang gently.

"Princess Jin, I don't want to marry my cousin as my mother wants, nor do I want to marry into the Duke of Jingguo's mansion as my father wants. I want to marry into a foreign alliance."

Gu Shulan stopped Gu Shutang at the palace banquet. She had a little quirk, which was that she liked to chat with good-looking men for a while.

Her third aunt's cousin was good-looking and a gentleman, unlike her uncle's cousin who was fat as a pig. Unfortunately, even if her mother was willing to fight for her, he was only her uncle's cousin.

To her, her cousin from her uncle's family and the prince of Jingguo are equally good, so marrying either of them would not be a good thing.

"Marriage?"

Gu Shutang was sitting in a pavilion by the water, originally looking at the lotus flowers in the pond, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on Gu Shulan.

"Yes, I hope the princess will lend me a helping hand out of the sisterly bond we share."

Gu Shulan knelt on the ground. She thought for a long time, and then stopped Gu Shutang when Mrs. Gu relaxed her vigilance. For some reason, she felt that Gu Shutang would do her this favor.

"Neither of these two seems like a good match for me. Marriage is different. Mojie Khan is a rare handsome man on the grassland, and he doesn't have many concubines. Given the strength of our Jing Dynasty, I would be a Khatun if I marry him."

When she gives birth to a son in the future, with Jing Chao's help, her son will definitely become the next Khan of Rouran. From then on, the leaders of Rouran will all carry Gu Shulan's blood.
