The wives of the ministers in the court all sent invitations to Gao Zhijun, hoping that Gao Zhijun would come to their house for a gathering and to curry favor with her.
Canglang rejected all these posts, saying that his princess had just arrived in the capital and was still adjusting to the jet lag and feeling unwell, so he would visit her another day!
It is unknown when this other day will be.
Gao Zhijun highly approved of Canglang's approach. She said that she had good vision and that Canglang was really suitable to be a housekeeper.
The stewards of the ministers' families returned to their mansions and told their wives. The wives also understood that this was Princess Xiangyun's excuse, and they all stopped making trouble.
The emperor said at the morning court that a banquet would be held for Princess Xiangyun seven days later, and ministers could bring their families to attend.
This news reached Gao Zhijun's ears. At that time, Huo Jinqian had just finished his exams and could participate with him.
Thinking of Huo Jinqian, Gao Shijun missed him a little. He wondered how he was doing in the Imperial Examination Hall, whether he did well in the exam, and asked him to take good care of himself.
Huo Jinqian, who was working on his paper, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and smiled knowingly. It seemed his Zhijun missed him. Thinking of this, he wrote with more energy and clarity.
Gao Zhijun works in the clinic in the morning and comes back in the afternoon to supervise the construction of the workshop.
The princess's residence was quite large, so Gao Zhijun arranged the medicine workshop and rouge workshop there. Under her watchful eyes, no one dared to make any move.
The days passed like this, and soon the imperial examination was over. Gao Zhijun and Hong Qiujue went to pick up Huo Jinqian.
She will attend a banquet in the evening and will bring the Huo and Sun families to the banquet, which is agreed by the emperor.
Of course the emperor agreed, he also wanted to meet Yongqi's adoptive parents.
He originally planned to confer official titles on the Huo family, but he did not issue an edict to confer titles because Huo Jinqian's identity had not yet been made public.
After Huo Jinqian came out, Tian Boen and the others followed behind.
"Hello, Princess!"
Tian Boen brought Feng Zhiyuan and several other classmates to greet Gao Zhijun. She was no longer an ordinary person, but a princess. Besides, this was not Taizhou, but the capital, and she couldn't be like before.
They didn't know that Gao Zhijun was named princess.
"Don't be polite, just keep it as before! Tomorrow, I'll treat you to a banquet at the Sun Family Restaurant to celebrate your completion of the exam."
Gao Zhijun was approachable and spoke to them with a smile.
These people have good character and are worthy of Jinqian's association.
"No! This is the capital, not Taizhou. You still have to follow the necessary rules and etiquette, otherwise, others will look down on you, the princess."
Tian Boen said.
"No defense! From now on, call me Princess in front of outsiders, and when we are all together, treat me as your sister."
Gao Zhijun knew that Tian Boen was doing this for her own good, and she also understood that everything he said was right.
There are many rules in the capital. Since they are for her own good, she accepts them.
"Okay, let's do as the princess says."
When Tian Boen and the others heard Gao Zhijun say this, they didn't act pretentiously and just did as Gao Zhijun said.
"We have to go back too. See you at the Sun Family Restaurant tomorrow."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she took Huo Jinqian into the carriage.
Tian Boen and his friends also got on their own carriage and returned to the yard they rented.
"Mom, Zhijun, do you have something to say to me?"
When Huo Jinqian got on the carriage, she felt that the atmosphere was strange. It seemed that her mother and Zhijun had something to say to her.
"It's like this. There's a banquet in the palace tonight. It's for Zhijun. We're here to pick you up. Wait a minute, and we'll go to the palace together for the banquet."
Hong Qiujue didn't let Huo Jinqian wait too long. As soon as he finished speaking, she told him the truth.
"Palace banquet? Wouldn't it be against the rules for us to go?"
After Huo Jinqian finished speaking, he asked Hong Qiujue hesitantly and nervously.
His identity has not been made public, as has his capacity at the banquet.
"This is the emperor's intention. With so many people at the banquet, you won't necessarily run into anyone from the Marquis of Anyang, so you can rest assured. Even if you do, the worst that can happen is that you reveal your identity and return to Anyang Prefecture. Anyway, we've already found plenty of evidence, so convicting them will be a piece of cake."
Gao Zhijun comforted Huo Jinqian. She was never afraid of exposing Huo Jinqian's identity. After all, they had found a lot of evidence, which was enough to confiscate the property of Anyang Hou and his family and exterminate them.
"I'm not afraid, I just don't want to meet them too soon. I'm not ready yet and I don't know how to face them."
Huo Jinqian explained.
Although he knew he had to face them, he was still not prepared.
After all, they killed his own mother and wanted to kill him, so how could he have imagined seeing these scumbags?
"Let's just let things take their own course. Why not take this opportunity to make our relationship public? That way, they'll have to think twice before they even think about dealing with you again. With this status, the Marquis of Anyang will definitely treat you like a lord and pamper you."
Gao Zhijun felt that taking this opportunity to make their relationship public would prevent those ministers from targeting her, and would also prevent Marquis Anyang from bullying Huo Jinqian, killing two birds with one stone.
"No! If they knew about your relationship with me, they would definitely use me to curry your favor, or even suck your blood like a leech. I can't let that happen."
Huo Jinqian objected.
He couldn't let those scumbags bully his girl because of his own affairs.
"Zhijun, Jinqian is right. We can't let Anyang Hou know about your relationship with Jinqian. If they get entangled with you, you won't be able to get rid of them even if you want to."
Hong Qiujue also objected.
Given the character of Anyang Hou's family, they will really pester Zhijun.
Gao Zhijun felt that Huo Jinqian and Hong Qiujue were right. It was really disgusting to be entangled with such a person.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and not make our relationship public."
After careful consideration, Gao Zhijun agreed with Huo Jinqian and Hong Qiujue's opinions.
Soon returning to the princess's mansion, Huo Jinqian entered his yard and began to take a bath, waiting to attend the palace banquet.
