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

"Enter the palace as empress, give our child a legitimate status, and leave behind a legitimate heir to the throne, okay?"

"As long as you are willing to enter the palace and become the queen, I will not stop you from doing anything you want."

"Even if you don't want to live in the palace and don't want to see me, I am willing."

What Gao Shaofu was thinking at this moment was to coax her into the palace first. Over time, he would be able to coax her back and make the couple live in harmony.

At this moment, he did not know that everything he got through lies was ultimately just empty bubbles that would burst with just a slight poke.

……

Gu Shutang touched her belly and agreed to it while Gao Shaofu was shamelessly pretending to be pitiful.

Gao Shaofu was very excited about this. He left her in his bedroom to recuperate, and immediately went to his private storehouse to pick out the betrothal gifts for her.

Afterwards, he personally rewrote an imperial edict announcing to the world that she would be crowned empress, and personally went to Shoukang Palace to inform the empress dowager.

He wanted everyone in the world to know that he had become her wife, and he didn't want her and the unborn child to be criticized.

So he quickly summoned ministers from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory, and finally set the date at the end of the next month.

Although the wedding date of the Emperor and Empress was urgent, it was the Emperor's wedding after all, and he had many people at his disposal, so the ceremony next month was held in a grand manner despite the haste.

Although the ceremony of enthroning the queen was grand, it was Gao Shaofu who was in charge of it. He deleted some of the etiquette that required Gu Shutang to work hard, so Gu Shutang did not have to work too hard during the ceremony.

Only Gao Shaofu and old doctor Cheng knew that Gu Shutang was pregnant. Even the empress dowager did not know about it. Gu Shutang rested in the palace for a few days and then returned to the Cheng'en Mansion to get married.

Gao Shaofu gave Gu Shutang several maids who were good at martial arts, and the old doctor Cheng to accompany him back to the mansion.

He was afraid that someone would try to assassinate her. The secret guards were hiding in the dark. If someone tried to assassinate her closely, it would take some time for them to arrive. However, his personal maid followed him and could protect his master without any problem.

The people in the Cheng'en Mansion had already given up the idea of ​​the Gu Mansion producing another queen. There was only one girl of the right age, and the rest were either too young or from side branches.

The Queen Mother also indirectly advised them not to treat her niece harshly or force her to do anything she disliked.

Little did they know that things would take a turn for the better. His Majesty actually issued an edict to make their niece the queen, and loved her so much that he bestowed many treasures and maids on her, and even appointed the old doctor Cheng to take care of her health.

The people in Duke Cheng'en's mansion have been in high spirits these days. Duke Cheng'en was so happy that he rewarded everyone in the mansion with two months' worth of monthly wages.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the queen's enthronement ceremony. Chang Yingxiu had already returned to her ancestral home, changed her surname to Gao, and was awarded the title of princess.

Ever since Gao Yingxiu knew that Gu Shutang was her aunt and future aunt, she went to Cheng Engong's mansion to find her every now and then.

Gao Yingxiu was completely defenseless against Gu Shutang and told her everything.

After a few interactions, Gu Shutang also learned that Gao Yingxiu had been in love recently and had fallen in love with the chief eunuch of the East Factory, who was a normal man.

When Gu Shutang got married, Gao Shaofu came out of the palace to welcome her. He had originally planned to let Gu Shutang's cousin carry her on the phoenix chariot, but Gao Shaofu carried her on himself.

After the complicated ceremony, Gu Shutang was sent to the newly redecorated Qianqing Palace. The palace where the emperor and empress lived after their wedding was supposed to be another place, but Gao Shaofu was unwilling to separate from Gu Shutang. He ignored the opposition and finally the emperor and empress lived in the same palace.

After Gu Shutang was sent to the bedroom, she sat upright on the bed covered with red, with Gao Yingxiu guarding her side, and behind her were the ladies of the royal family standing obediently.

When the emperor returned to his bedroom, the dragon and phoenix wedding candles on the table had already burned halfway. Gao Yingxiu and others tactfully left when they saw him coming back, leaving only Madam Quanfu inside.

After a series of ceremonies were completed, Gu Shutang took off the hairpins and washed up with the help of Gao Shaofu. Then the two fell asleep in each other's arms on their wedding night.

*

Gu Shutang hugged Gao Chengji, who was already two years old. Gao Yingxiu was kneeling on the ground sobbing. She listened to Gao Yingxiu's crying indifferently and touched her belly.

This morning she summoned the imperial physician into her bedroom to take her pulse, only to discover that she was two months pregnant again.

Because Gao Shaofu had previously claimed that he would have no children in this lifetime, they had never thought of using contraception.

Gu Shutang raised her eyebrows. She was afraid that it was a lie made up by someone just to deceive her. It was really hateful.

Seeing that Gu Shutang remained silent for a long time, Gao Yingxiu's slight hope in her heart gradually faded away.

Is it possible that her fate with Ji Huahan ends here, and she can only watch them get married?

Gao Yingxiu's mouth was full of bitterness. It was obvious that Ji Huahan was not a disabled eunuch, and the emperor's uncle also wanted to give him a marriage. Why couldn't the person he married be her?

In this world, Ji Huahan is the only one who is willing to sacrifice his life for her, and he is the only one who understands her.

"Aunt, I don't want to marry into the Li family. I only want to marry Master Ji from the Dali Temple."

Ji Huahan had risked his life to protect the emperor, and Gao Shaofu had promised him a reward. He used the reward to send the thieves who had killed his entire family to the underworld, and then he was restored to his male body.

Gao Shaofu saw that he was a talented person and did not punish him. Instead, he was promoted step by step as a seventh-rank official in the court to his current position as the Minister of the Dali Temple.

Gu Shutang was brought back to his senses by Gao Yingxiu's words expressing her affection for Ji Huahan. Just as he was about to say something, two more people appeared in the hall.

"Are you and Ji Huahan in love with each other?"

A half-smiling voice sounded from behind Gao Yingxiu, "Master Ji, have you and Princess Yongning already pledged your lives to each other?"

Ji Huahan walked over to Gao Yingxiu, knelt down, and bowed to the intimate couple sitting on the high seat.

"I do admire the princess, and I hope Your Majesty and Your Majesty will grant me your wish."

"I am willing to give my entire fortune to marry the princess."

Gao Shaofu picked up the ignorant Gao Chengji from Gu Shutang's arms and held his hand in Gu Shutang's palm.

He picked up the bell beside him and teased Gao Chengji. When he saw him smile, he turned his attention to the two people below.

They are truly a loving couple.

Unfortunately, Ji Huahan's background was too poor, and he would never marry the princess, who was respected by the emperor, to a man who had been a eunuch for many years.

"Master Ji's entire fortune is probably not even as good as the two hairpins on our Yongning's dressing table."

"I--"

Gu Shutang stopped Gao Shaofu who was about to speak, and pinched his arm with the cover of his sleeve, signaling him not to speak for the time being.

Feeling the meaning conveyed by his queen, Gao Shaofu closed his mouth which was about to mock Ji Huahan.

"Master Ji keeps saying that he loves Yongning deeply, but I wonder how true his feelings are?"

Gu Shutang opened her red lips, touched Gao Chengji's little head, and glanced at Musk Moon beside her.

Musk Moon brought up two glasses of wine and placed them in front of Ji Huahan.

"Of these two cups of wine, one is laced with a deadly poison, and the other is harmless. Given Lord Ji's affection for Yongning, would you dare drink the first one?"

"If Master Ji drinks it without any harm, I will ask His Majesty to grant you a marriage with the princess."

Gao Shaofu immediately calmed down, hugged Gao Chengji and looked at Gu Shutang with a smile.

His queen was indeed powerful. There was no rule in this dynasty that prohibited the prince consort from entering officialdom. Ji Huahan wanted to marry the princess simply because he was greedy for power and wanted to advance further by marrying a royal princess.

Gao Shaofu didn't think that Ji Huahan would be willing to drink this glass of wine out of love for Yongning. If he was unwilling, it meant that his feelings for Yongning were not true. There was no need for him to stop it, and Yongning would lose interest in him.

If Ji Huahan drank it, it would prove that he had great ambitions and should be executed.

"Aunt——"

Gao Yingxiu collapsed on the ground, unable to accept it.

"The Queen is right. Ji Qing, as long as you dare to drink it, I will not hinder your marriage with Yongning."

Gao Shaofu used a handkerchief to wipe the dirt off Gao Chengji's face. He would only wipe out the stain on this royal family before the empress issued an edict to grant the marriage.

Seeing the helplessness and panic on Gao Yingxiu's face, Gao Shaofu beside her agreed without hesitation. For some reason, she felt that she had become the villain who forcibly separated the lovers.

Ji Huahan picked up a cup and drank it in one breath. After drinking it, he felt dizzy and his heart was sour. Could it be that he and A Xiu were destined not to be together?

"Don't feel sad for me, just live well."

Ji Huahan used his last bit of consciousness to wipe away Gao Yingxiu's tears.

Gao Yingxiu hugged the unconscious Ji Huahan and sniffed, "Ji Huahan, you can't leave me like this."

"I misjudged you and caused you to fall into this state."

Gao Yingxiu turned her head to look at Gu Shutang who was still smiling. Her voice was sad and there was deep pain in her eyes.

"I thought you were my closest elder and would definitely make the decision for me, but why?"

"Why did you kill him? He did nothing wrong!"

Gao Yingxiu closed her eyes. She was wrong. She shouldn't have asked the wrong person for love and ruined her husband's life.

"If being a princess means losing my lover and having to bear the noble title of marrying someone I don't love, then I'd rather not be a princess and go back to being the free-spirited Chang Yingxiu."

Chang Yingxiu had already thought of giving up her status as a princess and guarding Ji Huahan's tomb as his widow.

The person who killed him was her closest relative. She couldn't die with him, so she could only remove the surname that was attached to her and stay by his side.

"You're actually going to give up your identity for a man? Yongning, you disappoint me so much."

Although he was surprised that Gu Shutang suddenly gave Ji Huahan poisoned wine, he did not think she did anything wrong.

I just think that my niece is a crazy person because of love. No matter how much she loves him, she should not give up her identity as a princess.

Without her identity as a princess, she couldn't avenge Ji Huahan even if she wanted to. So why not take advantage of her identity as a princess and accumulate strength to wield the sword against him?

Gu Shutang glared at Gao Shaofu and stopped him from speaking. If he continued, it would only hurt their feelings. Even if it was fake, it would still leave a knot in his heart.

"What he drank wasn't poison. It was just a tranquilizing decoction that Doctor Cheng had just made. He'll wake up after a few hours of sleep."

"I am only testing the sincerity of Lord Ji's feelings for you. Yongning, please don't get too excited."

These words immediately pulled Chang Yingxiu out of the endless darkness. She stopped crying and looked at the smiling Gu Shutang in a daze.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ji's affection for Yongning is not fake. He thought drinking the poisoned wine was just to stop Yongning from crying. Such affection makes me, the concubine, moved."

"How about Your Majesty grant them a marriage and create a beautiful story."

Gu Shutang pulled his sleeve and asked for his opinion, seemingly moved.

Gao Shaofu took a breath and saw her hand touching his arm and pinching it again, with a threatening look on her face, as if she would teach him a lesson if he didn't agree.

Gao Shaofu said with frustration: "Yes, I will issue an order to grant the marriage later."

When this woman pinched him, she didn't hold back at all, which reminded Gao Shaofu of the time when he had been too noisy.

Gu Shutang and his son drove him out of the bedroom, so he could only rest in the side hall for a few days. During those days when her arms felt cold, he decisively let go.

He didn't want to sleep alone in the side hall.

Chang Yingxiu moved her ears, checked Ji Huahan's breath, confirmed that he was still breathing, and looked at Gu Shutang with gratitude.

It was the imperial aunt who found a way to make the imperial uncle give in.

Chang Yingxiu knew that the person was fine, so she stopped hugging him tightly. Instead, she pestered Gao Shaofu to write down the imperial edict before she left the palace with him.

When Gao Shaofu returned to the bedroom, he originally wanted to settle accounts with Gu Shutang with a stern face and seek some benefits, but when he returned to the bedroom, he was dumbfounded.

How come his daughter-in-law and son, who were both so old, disappeared?

He thought Gu Shutang was just taking his son to play in his mother's palace. He shook his head and laughed, thinking that the queen was still so dependent on her elders even after giving birth to a child.

His eyes darkened. It would be great if the queen relied on him.

When he brought the palace maids to Shoukang Palace to bring his wife and children back, he found that the empress dowager was reading a booklet alone.

He panicked for a moment, left Shoukang Palace, and returned to his bedroom, where he found a letter under his pillow.

The letter only said: "I'm going out for fun and won't be back for sure."

His face was livid, it was just nonsense.

But he saw another note under the letter, "Your Majesty, do you still remember deceiving me?"

He managed to calm down. It turned out that it was his fault that she left the palace, not that she abandoned him.

Gao Shaofu thought about it for a long time and just thought that his secret plan to attack Ji Huahan was discovered by Gu Shutang. After all, they were a couple who understood each other.

It's normal for Atang to guess something.

Gao Shaofu was angry that she left the palace so casually, but he was also pleased that she and he were so in tune with each other.

Gao Shaofu immediately called out An Yi and stopped the assassination of Ji Huahan. He also ordered people to calculate the wedding date of Princess Yongning as soon as possible so that they could get married as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even if he found the queen, she would probably not be willing to go back with him.

However, he did not want Ji Huahan to marry his niece so easily, so he issued another decree that the princess could marry a prince consort, the prince consort was not allowed to take concubines, the children were given the imperial surname, and the eldest son would inherit the incense of the former prince's lineage.

It was equivalent to Ji Huahan marrying into the princess's family. Ji Huahan was already a lonely man, and the only person he cared about was Chang Yingxiu. Naturally, he had no objection to the imperial edict.

Even after the eunuch announced the decree, he excitedly prostrated himself and bowed deeply towards the direction of the imperial palace.
