The next day, after breakfast, Gao Zhijun returned to the palace.
"Father, Mother, I'm sorry! It's my fault. I shouldn't have agreed to the marriage on my own, let alone set the wedding date."
Gao Zhijun entered the palace and went to Murong Yuanbo's yard to apologize to Murong Yuanbo and Liu Ningchu.
"You are our daughter, and we can indulge your willfulness because we love you. Since you want to marry Huo Jinqian, we will not stop you. But you shouldn't marry yourself without discussing it with us. You even set a date for the wedding, but we still heard about your marriage from other people. Isn't that ironic? You have been away from home for so many years, it's our fault. Because we didn't protect you well back then, that's why you stayed away from home. I can understand that you are unfamiliar with us. Therefore, our palace will not give you less dowry, but we will not participate. On the day of the wedding, we will send you off."
Liu Ningchu was really angry this time.
Despite all her efforts over the past year, her daughters still hadn't made it into her heart. She hadn't even discussed something as important as marriage with them. This showed that she never considered them her parents.
In her mind, the Huo family should be closer to her than them.
"Mother, that's not what I meant. I'm just used to being alone and forgot to tell you. It's not that I don't love you."
Gao Zhijun explained.
It’s not that she doesn’t love them, but she was an orphan in her previous life, and apart from her companions, she couldn’t find anyone to discuss things with.
And her companions will not be sincere to her. They will kill you at any time because you are blocking their path to wealth and glory.
So, you have to make your own decisions on everything.
"I know. I don't blame you, I just can't accept it. Go back. Your father and I are tired and need to rest. We will also provide you with the same dowry and will marry you off in a grand manner."
Liu Ningchu said lightly.
What does it matter if she finds her daughter? She is no longer the daughter she used to be and no longer shares the same mindset with her.
She didn't blame her daughter for acting on her own initiative, she just felt indifferent.
A girl cannot be kept at home when she grows up, so let her get married if she wants to.
"Father and Mother, have a good rest. I am leaving now!"
Gao Zhijun knew that it was useless to say more because her parents were angry and would not listen.
I'll explain it later.
Gao Zhijun left and went looking for Murong Fu, but couldn't find him.
Murong Shuo was the same, as if they had agreed not to see him.
Gao Zhijun returned to the princess's mansion feeling upset and helpless. She knew that her parents and her elder and second brothers were really angry.
After Gao Zhijun left, Murong Yuanbo asked Liu Ningchu, "Are you really not going to care about your daughter's marriage?"
"Girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up. We can't control them even if we want to. We just need to do our part. As for the rest, let the Huo family handle it. She has always been separated from us, and she is close to the Huo family. In this case, let's let the Huo family handle it. By the way, we can also see how much they value their daughter."
Liu Ningchu said.
She wanted to see the Huo family's attitude towards her daughter. If they were truly kind to her, they would be relieved. On the contrary, if they dared to bully her, the palace would not tolerate it and would definitely make things difficult for them.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Princess. Don't be angry, our daughter loves us too."
Murong Yuanbo was really afraid that his wife would be angry and create a rift between her and her daughter.
"I'm not angry, I'm just a little disappointed. She's our daughter, we've been looking for her for so many years, how could we be angry with her? It's just that she doesn't care about us, so I'm a little disappointed. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, I'm going to go make arrangements for the wedding."
Liu Ningchu was not really angry. She was so happy to find her daughter that how could she be angry with her?
"The princess is still sensible. I'll leave everything to her."
Murong Yuanbo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was glad that his wife was not angry with her daughter.
The days passed one by one, and Gao Zhijun was busy with the Chamber of Commerce affairs with Ji Mingchuan and Huo Jinzhou every day.
On the sixth day, the morning court began.
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites asked the Emperor about the reception of foreign envoys this year.
The emperor said that everything should remain the same and asked Huo Jinqian to help with the reception.
Gao Zhijun, Ji Mingchuan and Huo Jinzhou were sitting in the Chamber of Commerce's office.
"President, it will open tomorrow."
Ji Mingchuan admired and respected the girl in front of him.
Who would have thought that such a young girl could be so smart, have so many unique insights and ideas.
At her suggestion, the Chamber of Commerce came up with a series of rules, all of which were designed to protect the interests of businesses.
He really admired her very much, but it was a pity that she had someone she loved, otherwise he would definitely marry her and love her well.
"Thank you all for your hard work during this period. The Chamber of Commerce has been set up. Everyone should go back home early to rest today and witness the grand opening ceremony of the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow."
Gao Zhijun looked at the sorted files and smiled in her heart.
Unfortunately, there is no computer here, so I can only copy it by hand.
These files contain lists of wealthy merchants and shops in the Daliang Dynasty, recording their monthly income, shop profits, and taxes to be collected.
"Goodbye, President. I'm taking my leave!"
After Ji Mingchuan finished speaking, he left the Chamber of Commerce and returned to the Ji Mansion. He was exhausted during this period of time.
When he returned home, his concubines prepared hot water for him and helped him take a bath.
While washing, Ji Mingchuan had sex with her.
Gao Zhijun took Huo Jinqian, locked the door of the Chamber of Commerce, and returned to the Princess's Mansion.
