Seeing that the second princess didn't even dare to reveal her true feelings and was so good at concealing herself in front of her mother, the empress couldn't help but favor Xu Jinyi more.
That daughter who is extremely beautiful, energetic, bold and daring, and loves to act coquettishly with her.
With this comparison, the empress looked down upon the second princess's pettiness and the deep calculation in her eyes.
After all, she was born a palace maid, and she could not compare with the Third Princess' graceful manners, giving people an elegant and pure feeling.
What the empress liked most was the Third Princess's smug and triumphant expression. No one else could match that kind of confidence.
The empress gave her a meaningful look, tapping her fingertips on the tabletop. Her face was calm. "You are older than the third eldest. She already has a legitimate husband. It is indeed time to grant you a marriage. Are you sure you want the son of General Dingguo?"
"yes."
The empress felt a little disappointed when she heard this.
This daughter is too ambitious, but I don't know if she...
Well then: "Since that's the case, I will help you achieve your goal and grant you a marriage with General Dingyuan's son."
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your help."
The second princess stood obediently aside, waiting for the empress to write the imperial edict.
The empress glanced at her and sighed slightly in her heart. Although they were both born from her womb, their personalities were completely different.
The Second Princess didn't know that what she thought was her own goodness, obedience, and sensibility, as well as her respect for the rules of the Empress, was all seen as fear in the eyes of the Empress.
It is the respect and fear that the weak have for the superiors, not their relatives.
I don’t know if it was out of dissatisfaction or what, but the imperial decree granting the marriage did not include any reward at all.
The second princess took the imperial edict in ecstasy and took a closer look at it, then her face slowly became stiff.
He glanced at the empress secretly, wanting to ask her if she had forgotten to give the reward, but he didn't dare.
After she withdrew her gaze, the empress also glanced at her indifferently.
Thinking that she would ask for some reward, he didn't expect that the Second Princess would kneel down and beg for mercy.
The Empress's expression turned even more pale: "Don't you have anything to say?"
The second princess was confused and shook her head.
The empress didn't want to see her daughter, who made her feel miserable, so she waved her hands and said, "If you're fine, go down."
The Second Princess choked, and seeing the empress's annoyed expression, she felt bitter in her heart.
It was also an arranged marriage, but her legitimate husband didn't get any reward at all. Her mother was too partial to him. Why did that useless third brother get any reward?
But when she thought about the military power she gained in exchange for her position as the legitimate monarch, she felt it was worth it.
That is something that no amount of rewards can replace.
So what if it's ugly? It's still the same when the lights are turned off.
It's better than marrying a merchant, because money can't buy power.
After figuring it out, the second princess happily withdrew.
Xu Jinyi entered the room with the imperial edict in hand: "Xiao Chenchen, is this your room? There is no color at all, so boring."
Gu Chen in this life was really tall. Xu Jinyi couldn't control herself for a moment and put her arms around his neck and hung on him again.
Gu Chen was happy that she was so clingy, and he held her in his arms and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
"Jiaojiao, will you always love me?"
"Of course, I only like you."
Gu Chen hugged her tighter, his voice hoarse: "Okay."
Gu Chen was willing to believe her and believe that she could be the only one for him. As long as she did not take the initiative to marry the concubine, he would always love her.
"Your room is too dull, Xiao Chenchen, let's go shopping."
"good."
The two walked on the busy street. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was petite and charming. It seemed as if the roles were completely reversed.
It attracts everyone's attention wherever it goes.
As a man, Gu Chen is too tall, and seems to overshadow the woman.
The two of them didn't care about other people's eyes and looked calm.
Xu Jinyi was worried that he had been a monk in the mountains for too long and was not used to the crowds. He was afraid that he would not like it, so he kept an eye on him all the time.
Passing by a handicraft stall, Xu Jinyi stopped and his eyes fell on an exquisite love knot.
"Xiao Chenchen, do you think it looks good? We can tie the warm jade that our mother gave us on it, and then each of us can wear one."
"Hang it around your waist and when you go out, everyone will know we are a couple."
Gu Chen seemed very happy. He took out the silver and bought the things without saying anything.
He hung it around Xu Jinyi's waist with great care: "It looks very nice."
"I think so too. Let's go and take a look ahead."
Although the palace doesn't go anywhere, it can't resist women's nature.
As Xu Jinyi walked along, the servant behind him had more and more things in his hands.
With her lover by her side, Xu Jinyi was so happy that she didn't notice the strange looks from others.
Everyone knows that the Third Princess is married to the young master of the Gu family, so it is normal for her to bring her husband out for a walk.
Buying things is normal, but what is abnormal is that the third princess is so shameless.
You actually spend a man's money to buy things. How can you stand up straight in the future?
Is it really okay to live off someone so openly?
Gu Chen paid the money happily and did not feel unhappy at all.
On the contrary, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction when he saw her spending his money unscrupulously.
Xu Jinyi realized later that there was such a big tail following them.
Everyone only heard the Third Princess' shameless words: "Are you unhappy that I'm spending your money?"
"How could that be? We will soon be husband and wife, a family."
Xu Jinyi nodded in agreement: "That's right, we are husband and wife, your money is my money, there is no need to distinguish between you and me, right?"
"You're willing to spend all your money on me, right?"
Gu Chen nodded, his mind full of Xu Jinyi's words that they were husband and wife: "All for you."
Not to mention money, even if it was his life, Gu Chen would definitely give it without hesitation.
"You are so good to me. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you better in the future."
Gu Chen's eyes sparkled as he took out his wallet and said, "I'll give it all to you."
Xu Jinyi took the money with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will squander all your money?"
"My family has a lot of money. If you like, I'll give it all to you. If it's not enough, I can also make money. In the future, I will make a lot of money and give it all to you."
Xu Jinyi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then I won't have to work in the future and still have plenty of money to spend? I'll just be responsible for looking beautiful every day?"
Gu Chen nodded: "If you don't like making money, let me do it, and you don't have to do anything."
Xu Jinyi was so happy that she held Gu Chen's face and kissed him hard: "I love you so much, so you have to make more money to support me in the future."
Everyone almost fainted. They didn't expect the Third Princess to be so shameless.
As a woman, not only does she not want to earn money to support the family, she actually lets her husband go out to earn money.
My God, whoever marries a woman like this will be unlucky.
Just seeing Gu Chen’s happy face, everyone fell silent.
After all, everyone knows how profitable the Gu family's business is.
