What Chen Nianzhi didn't say was that when she was still a lowly merchant girl, Princess Zhenbei had already used the words "hanging out with men" to look down on her.
Although Princess Zhenbei didn't know who had bewitched her precious son at that time, this did not prevent her from expressing her contempt and disdain for that woman in her words.
Chen Nianzhi accidentally heard the Princess of Zhenbei's true opinion of her in her own shop. However, at that time, she and Yu Zicheng were sometimes unable to help but get close to each other because of her identity as the Princess of Beiyan, and sometimes they would wake up and force themselves to endure the pain and separate from each other, so she didn't care much about the Princess of Zhenbei's opinion of her.
After all, at that time, she was still forcing herself to stay rational and stay away from Yu Zicheng.
She doesn't even want Yu Zicheng anymore, so does it matter what Yu Zicheng's mother thinks of her?
But now that she and Yu Zicheng have made their feelings clear to each other, and she has a suitable identity that can support her and Yu Zizhen to have an equal dialogue, she has to take the attitude of Princess Zhenbei into consideration.
Yu Zicheng, however, didn't take the fact that his mother might dislike Chen Nianzhi seriously. He said, "Don't worry. With Your Majesty as an example, even if my mother really brings up your official career, I can find a way to stop her dissatisfaction."
Chen Nianzhi: ...
At this moment, the look in Chen Nianzhi's eyes when he looked at Yu Zicheng was indescribable.
She didn't know whether she should sympathize with Princess Zhenbei for giving birth to such an uncaring and rude son, or pity herself for meeting such a rough-and-tumble man who didn't understand women's hearts at all.
Indeed, with Yu Zizhen as an example before her, even if Princess Zhenbei was dissatisfied with her official career, she would not dare to reject Yu Zicheng's marriage with this reason. But the problem is, if this reason doesn't work, won't Princess Zhenbei come up with other reasons?
Even if Yu Zicheng could refute all the excuses that Princess Zhenbei came up with, and Princess Zhenbei was ultimately speechless and had no choice but to accept her as her daughter-in-law, wouldn't Princess Zhenbei be feeling pent up in anger, so after she entered the house, would she rack her brains to make things difficult for her?
Her worry about Princess Zhenbei's attitude stems from her lack of confidence in her married life, while Yu Zicheng is just worried that he won't be able to successfully marry Chen Nianzhi home.
In his understanding of this matter, as long as he could marry Chen Nianzhi home, the disagreement between him and Princess Zhenbei regarding his marriage would be completely over.
But in fact, it was after he married Chen Nianzhi home that the disagreement between him and Princess Zhenbei on his marriage really began to show its negative impact.
However, at that time, the one who needed to bear and resolve the negative impact was no longer Yu Zicheng, but his wife Chen Nianzhi.
Chen Nianzhi is no longer the same person she was in when she first traveled through time, completely clueless. Now, she has deeply realized the inequality between men and women in this ancient context.
She knew very well that Princess Zhenbei would most likely not be able to resist Yu Zicheng, but even if she was willing to take a step back in front of her son, it did not mean that she would welcome Chen Nianzhi, the daughter-in-law who "led her son astray".
Make her set rules around you all day long, give your son maids and concubines under the pretext of thinking about offspring, or even be more despicable and secretly make her die of illness or have a difficult childbirth... In short, mothers-in-law in this era still have many ways to deal with their daughters-in-law.
Chen Nianzhi didn't want to live that kind of life, so she would never give up the opportunity given to her by Yu Zizhen to live a decent and dignified life.
Yu Zicheng obviously knew Chen Nianzhi's character very well, so he never mentioned that Chen Nianzhi should not become an official and just marry him with a new identity.
What he didn't know was that it was a good thing he didn't say such words, otherwise Chen Nianzhi would have given up on him on her own initiative without Princess Zhenbei's objection.
The two chatted briefly about the conversation between Yu Zizhen and Chen Nianzhi, and then Yu Zicheng reminded Chen Nianzhi of some things to pay attention to in officialdom.
Chen Nianzhi listened carefully, but she did not accept Yu Zicheng's suggestion to send female guards to accompany her. "Your Majesty has already given me two guards, one of whom is a female guard."
What she didn't say was that Yu Zizhen not only gave her two guards, one male and one female, but also secretly arranged two shadow guards for her.
The two shadow guards are also a man and a woman. They will take turns on duty with the two guards in public to ensure that there are always at least two highly skilled guards around Chen Nianzhi.
Yu Zizhen told Chen Nianzhi about this, but she also told Chen Nianzhi that Chen Nianzhi had a special identity after all, and for her own safety, it would be better for her not to reveal the actual number of guards around her.
Chen Nianzhi agreed without hesitation. She was not stupid. She knew that only by pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger could she surprise others and protect herself to the greatest extent when in danger. It was such a simple truth that she could figure it out on her own without Yu Zizhen telling her.
Chen Nianzhi even asked Yu Zizhen if she could learn martial arts from the two female guards to strengthen her body. After all, relying on others is always inferior to relying on oneself.
Of course Yu Zizhen would not object. She immediately called the two female guards and asked them to do their best to teach Chen Nianzhi self-defense skills.
Chen Nianzhi did not intend to tell all these things to Yu Zicheng, just as she could not frankly express her fear of Princess Zhenbei in front of Yu Zicheng.
Yu Zicheng, who didn't understand Chen Nianzhi's true thoughts, rode back to the Zhenbei Palace with his horse, not understanding Chen Nianzhi's complicated look.
He actually stayed in the northern border most of the time. After all, he would take over the position of King Zhenbei in guarding the northern border, so it was not a good idea to stay in the capital all the time.
The reason why he has been running to the capital every now and then recently is because his mother, Princess Zhenbei, has been busy with his marriage due to pressure.
He was afraid that Princess Zhenbei would arrange a marriage for him without his consent, so he went to great lengths to run between the two whenever he got the chance.
As for where the fucking pressure comes from...
Doesn't his father still have several concubines and some illegitimate sons and daughters? After realizing that there was no hope for further progress in the Zhenbei Palace, his father's concubines seemed to have thrown in the towel.
They were brought to the Zhenbei Palace in the capital by the Zhenbei Princess. Without the Zhenbei Prince to fight with them, these idle women could only compete with each other in the marriage of their children.
