At this time, Ling Shumo had already put on her clothes. "I will be responsible for you. You should hand over the affairs of the Imperial Hospital as soon as possible, and then we will discuss your entry into the Eastern Palace."

Chu Changying has become her man now, so naturally he can no longer stay in the Imperial Hospital and do things that are in the spotlight.

Ling Shumo originally thought that Chu Changying would resist fiercely. In her opinion, a man with unique insights like Chu Changying would certainly not be content to stay in a woman's backyard. However, Chu Changying silently accepted her arrangement.

Ling Shumo said, "I will appoint you as a noble attendant. Considering your mother's current official position, this position is not an insult to you."

Chu Changying knelt on the ground and thanked Ling Shumo.

His mother was only the magistrate of a remote county, and being a noble attendant of the fourth rank was already a great honor for him.

As the crown prince, Ling Shumo can have, in addition to the Crown Princess, two Crown Princesses, four virtuous noble ladies, six noble attendants, and, with no limit on the number of canonized ladies, fifth-rank regular attendants and sixth-rank minor attendants.

For positions above yours, there is only one position for each person, and no one more person will be accepted.

In the future, there will be more and more men around Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and it goes without saying how valuable this position is.

At that time, you want to be promoted to the position of honorable maid, but the position of honorable maid is already full. If you want to get promoted, it is not enough to have the favor of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, you also need someone to vacate the position of honorable maid.

As for how to make room?

You can only get the empty hole of the turnip by pulling it out of the ground and killing it.

The look in Chu Changying's eyes was unpredictable.

Sharing a wife with someone else was already humiliating enough for him. Sooner or later, he would become the Crown Princess and the only one in the Eastern Palace who could walk shoulder to shoulder with Ling Shumo.

Becoming the legal husband and tolerating his wife's mistress is his bottom line.

This was the biggest concession he had made since coming into this world.

If he can't even stick to his bottom line, even if he has fine clothes and no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, he will feel that life is worse than death.

…

After leaving the Eastern Palace, Chu Changying immediately submitted his resignation to the Imperial Hospital. Other people had to go through various approvals before leaving, but he had informed Her Highness the Crown Princess, so he left very easily.

Before leaving Zhongdu, Chu Changying found the young lady of the Baili family and asked for Mr. Xie Shen, the top performer of Ningshuang Pavilion.

Xie Shen also came to the capital with him and had been arranged to live in a house in the suburbs of the capital. Now that he was going to enter the Eastern Palace, before getting married, he wanted to arrange a better place for Xie Shen.

Xie Shen knelt on the ground and said, "My life was saved by Master Chu. I want to serve Master Chu for the rest of my life."

Chu Changying said, "Xie Shen, I have freed you from slavery. You are now a free person and will never be bought, sold or given away at will. I will give you enough silver to ensure you have a comfortable life for the rest of your life. But if you follow me into the Eastern Palace, you will be a slave for the rest of your life. Why bother?"

Xie Shen looked extremely determined. He insisted on following Chu Changying into the East Palace. He wanted to repay his gratitude with his whole life.

Chu Changying refused to agree no matter what, and Xie Shen threatened to commit suicide. Chu Changying had no choice but to marry him into the East Palace.

Chu Changying was moved by Xie Shen's gratitude.

Xie Shen, however, clenched the handkerchief in his hand guiltily.

He was unwilling to do this, but he always had to find a way out for himself.

…

The year is coming to an end.

The capital city became extremely lively.

Ling Shumo went to the officials of the Imperial Observatory to choose a good day. She planned to officially marry Chu Changying as her concubine before the New Year.

Red candles are hanging high in the East Palace.

Chu Changying was carried in from the lighted side door.

The servants in each palace received rewards.

In Chenyou Palace.

Lu Jinshu couldn't help but sigh, "When Chu Changying treated the eldest prince's injuries, I felt that the princess's attitude towards him was very special. The princess refused to admit that she liked him, but she helped him get into the Imperial Hospital through connections, ordered everyone to take good care of him, and now she has even married him into the family."

Jiufu couldn't help but mutter, "Noble Servant Chu has an ordinary appearance, the kind you wouldn't find in a crowd. I really don't understand what the Princess Crown Princess sees in him."

Lu Jinshu chuckled. "Who among the royal family isn't surrounded by beauties? Especially for someone of Her Royal Highness's stature, beauty is the least of her worries when serving her. Chu Changying is so highly regarded by Her Royal Highness, so she must have abilities that others can't match."

…

Hibiscus Palace.

Ling Shumo lifted Chu Changying's veil.

Chu Changying's appearance is very plain. He usually dresses as a woman and never pays attention to dressing up.

He was getting married today, and he had specially spent a large sum of money to hire a famous makeup artist in Beijing to meticulously draw his eyebrows and eyes, hoping to use Ling Shumo's eyes as a camera on the wedding day to record the most beautiful moment of his life.

Even with full makeup on, Chu Changying still couldn't compare to Lu Jinshu or Shangguan Xu, and was even further behind the angel-like Xue Wu.

But he doesn't need to compare himself with these people, he only needs to compare himself with his past self.

Ling Shumo had very low expectations for his appearance, so the moment her red veil was lifted, she was stunned as Chu Changying had expected.

Ling Shumo was resting in the courtyard of other servants. They talked about nothing but love and romance. No matter how much they talked, they could not avoid the silk fabrics and exquisite ornaments that men loved to care about.

But Chu Changying is different from other men. There are always many strange ideas in his mind.

When Chu Changying mentioned the topic of gender equality to her, Ling Shumo was really attracted.

She has personally experienced both male dominance and female dominance, and she really can't imagine that there will be a day when men and women will be equal.

However, in her previous life, Ling Shumo might have looked forward to gender equality, but now that she has experienced the power and status, and the pleasure that comes from oppressing men, she will absolutely not allow equal rights to appear in this era.

She is very happy with the place and doesn't want to see any changes.

The night deepens.

Chu Changying yawned sleepily.

He mentioned some things from his previous life in order to make Ling Shumo interested in him.

He never imagined that he could single-handedly make Ling Shumo accept the idea of ​​gender equality from the bottom of her heart.

Only a fool would voluntarily give up his rights and do things that harm himself and benefit others.

And Ling Shumo is obviously not an idiot.

Chu Changying yawned again out of sleep, "Your Highness, let's finish this early and rest early. Early to bed and early to rise are good for physical and mental health."

Yawning is probably contagious, and Ling Shumo also started yawning.

The topics brought up by Chu Changying were so interesting that she forgot the passage of time for a moment. She hadn't done any work yet, but it was already late at night.

Ling Shumo called the servant to extinguish the candle, then fell headfirst onto the bed, "Just go to sleep, I'm sleepy too."
