The empress frowned. Although she was relieved that the Third Princess was not going to marry the minister's son, she didn't want her to marry someone with a tough fate.
"No, no, that person is born with bad luck. You are the daughter of the Queen Mother. You can marry anyone. How can you..."
"Yes, I am the daughter of the Queen Mother. Why should I be afraid of evil spirits? I even prayed for the child in the Queen Mother's belly. It shows that I have a connection with Buddha. Nothing will happen to me." Xu Jinyi said firmly.
The empress was still unhappy: "How can a merchant like him be worthy of you?"
"What's wrong with being a merchant? I still like him. I'm a princess, and I have power because of you, the queen, and he's rich. He's a perfect match for me."
The empress almost choked to death on her own saliva, and looked at her useless daughter in horror.
"Doesn't the Queen Mother have any money for you to spend? She wants you to marry a woman who is unlucky for her money? Are you going to piss the Queen Mother off to death?"
"Besides, what woman would spend her husband's money? Wouldn't you be embarrassed if you told others about it? How would others view you?"
The Queen's three views were shattered by Xu Jinyi's idea. As a woman, she didn't want to find a way to make money to support the family, but still wanted money from a man.
This idea is truly shocking to the world.
When word got out that her princess needed a man to support her, the empress felt very angry.
It's shameful, so shameful.
Xu Jinyi disagreed: "If he marries me, his money is my money, and my money is still my money. What's wrong with me spending his money?"
Feng Jun, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and covered Xu Jinyi's mouth with his hand.
"Please stop saying these things. If you continue, which good son would be willing to marry you? Also, who taught you this idea?"
“Mmmm…” Xu Jinyi pulled Feng Jun’s hand away, looking confused.
"Husband and wife are one. He can make money, so he should be responsible for making money. What's wrong with me continuing to be beautiful?"
"Queen Mother, you just promised to grant me marriage. You cannot go back on your word. Once he returns to secular life, you will give me the imperial decree."
"What?! He's a monk?"
The empress took a deep breath and didn't know what to say.
"He immediately returned to secular life."
The Empress suddenly felt a headache: "Let's talk about it after Mother meets him."
"Well, when the Queen Mother sees him, you will know how good he is. When we get married, he will be responsible for making money and I will be responsible for being beautiful. It's really a perfect match." Xu Jinyi sighed.
The Empress and Feng Jun looked at each other, both helpless.
"Aren't you afraid that others will say you're a gigolo?"
"What are you afraid of? People can say whatever they want, it doesn't bother me. Maybe they're just jealous of me and that's why they're complaining about me."
The two were completely speechless.
The empress finally believed that her daughter was lazy. Not to mention asking her to fight for the throne, she would probably not even want it even if given to her.
Thinking this way, the empress asked: "Jiaojiao, do you want to get a half-position in the court, so that you can be more respectable?"
Xu Jinyi's eyes widened, and she blurted out, "Queen Mother, do you think I took too much? Are you displeased with me and want to punish me?"
"Look at me, so delicate and tender. Queen Mother, are you willing to ask me to come to the palace before dawn to attend court and stand for two hours?"
"I don't want it, I don't want it. Second Princess likes to work. Just let her do it. She's happy to do it. Don't bother me."
Seeing her fear, the empress smiled and said, "Don't you like this position?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jun stared at the Third Princess nervously.
Xu Jinyi looked at the empress as if she had seen a ghost, with a mournful face: "Queen Mother, I was wrong. I don't want this gold anymore. If you are not satisfied, I don't want this jade either."
"Don't ruin my bright future. My biggest dream is to sleep until I wake up naturally. I have endless money to spend, but I'm just letting a fat rice bug go. Please let me go."
Seeing the empress's belly, Xu Jinyi suddenly perked up: "Mother Queen, you must be carrying a sister in your belly. If not, you and father can just have more children."
"You are still in your prime, trying hard to give me more sisters to share your worries. I am a waste, so don't count on me."
"Well, I feel a little dizzy. I'm leaving now. Goodbye, goodbye..."
After saying that, Xu Jinyi ran away as if escaping from a flood or a beast.
Before running away, she did not forget to ask someone to transport the things she picked back to the mansion.
This appearance made the empress laugh heartily.
Seeing that Xu Jinyi didn't even bother to leave, Feng Jun looked at the empress cautiously: "Your Majesty, Jiaojiao is just afraid that you will give her work to do. Don't bother with her."
"Alright, since Jiaojiao said so, I and Feng Jun will work hard to give her more sisters so that we can support her in the future."
Feng Jun blushed.
In the end, it was not known whether it was Xu Jinyi’s words that made the empress so happy or what.
Anyway, several more boxes of gold were delivered to Xu Jinyi's house, and Xu Jinyi looked very happy.
The news of the empress's pregnancy spread like a spring breeze, and everyone in the capital knew about it.
The old ministers who were loyal to the royal family were the happiest. With so many royal heirs, they could choose the future successor.
Instead of the current situation, where there is only the Second Princess.
As for the useless Third Princess, the ministers never thought about her at all.
Because of this, almost all the ministers thought that the position of the Crown Princess would most likely go to the Second Princess, and their attitude towards the Second Princess was one of flattery.
Afraid of offending the future empress.
But now, when everyone looks at the Second Princess, it becomes normal, and no longer a matter of flattery.
After all, the empress is still young, and it is no problem for her to reign for twenty or thirty years. Now she is pregnant, so there are more variables in the future.
How could the Second Princess not feel the changes in the ministers? She simply hated the piece of meat in the Empress's belly.
But he couldn't show it on his face, and he also had to care about the empress's health.
A few days later, the empress's imperial decree granting the marriage between the eldest prince and General Luo shocked the second princess.
He even sent another 20,000 soldiers to help her win the next battle.
The second princess was extremely panicked, as if everything was going in a bad direction.
But she was unable to change.
Gu family mansion.
Gu's parents stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they saw.
Tears welled up in his eyes and his hands and feet were shaking with excitement.
Outside the door, he saw his son wearing a green gown, a wig on his head, carrying a bundle in his hand and walking in with a faint smile on his lips.
Until he knelt before them and said: "Father and Mother, I am unfilial and have not been able to fulfill my filial duties by your side. Today I return to secular life. I pray that you will be well."
Gu's father and mother burst into tears, remembering what the master said.
One day, their son will be able to return to secular life only if he has completed all his merits and washed away all the evil spirits.
And fortunately, he met his true love in the future.
Now that he's back, does that mean... that...
The two cried with joy: "Good boy, get up quickly, get up quickly."
