Looking at Gu Yunru's bright eyes, Cheng Shaoyuan's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "I just heard about this matter after returning from Jiangnan. Why, are you interested?"

"Of course I'm interested. How can I be left out of such a thing?" Gu Yunru patted his chest proudly. Just when he was feeling proud for a moment, he saw Rong Zhen walking in from the door with a sharp and deep gaze.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Yunru looked at his tall and slender figure standing there straight. He was indescribably elegant and ethereal, like a god, but there was also a hint of oppression coming towards him. Gu Yunru pretended to look cute and innocent and glared at him.

"Come and see, Master Cheng, your colleagues are looking for you everywhere, but you are here chatting about love and romance, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate." Rong Zhen raised his lips slightly, with a hint of sarcasm. Cheng Shaoyuan awkwardly shifted his gaze away and coughed lightly.

"I forgot the time, Yunru, I'll come to see you next time."

"Okay." Gu Yunru looked at him with a smile, and the gentleness in Rong Zhen's eyes disappeared in an instant, turning into gloomy coldness. This woman's attitude towards other men was completely different from her attitude towards him!

After Cheng Shaoyuan's back walked away, Gu Yunru's expression changed instantly. She looked at him with dissatisfaction and said, "What are you doing standing there like a wooden stake? Just say what you want to say."

After saying this, he waved his wide sleeves, sat on the table, holding the teacup in one hand, his eyes showing a hint of intoxication.

"I'm here to discuss marriage with you. No, there's no room for negotiation. On the second day of the first lunar month, I will welcome you into my house." Rong Zhen swore to her in a domineering tone. Looking at his hawk-like eyes, Gu Yunru's buttocks left the stool in an instant, her eyes widened like bells, emitting a bright and piercing light.

"no……"

"You have no right to say no. Also, since you are a married woman, you should stay away from other men. You understand these principles, right?" There was a hint of coldness in Rong Zhen's eyes and his two thin lips touched lightly, as if he was talking about something ordinary.

Gu Yunru's mouth slowly pulled out a mocking arc, walked in front of him, and raised her pointed chin proudly, "Didn't I say that after your illness is cured, our engagement will be cancelled? Now you are sticking to me like a dog-skin plaster?"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his arm high. Gu Yunru mistakenly thought that Rong Zhen was going to teach her a lesson. She subconsciously closed her eyes and shrank her neck. However, she didn't expect to be pushed against the door by him. She was stared at by him lovingly. Their breaths met. If they went one step further, they would have to have physical contact.

"Hey... I don't obey, and you still want to hit me." Gu Yunru half-closed his eyes in fear, but his tone was very stubborn.

"Don't worry, I love you so much, how could I hit you?" Rong Zhen gently reached out his hand and stroked her fair face, with his eyes raised and a wicked smile. Gu Yunru slowly opened her eyes, looked at his face that seemed to be about to get close to her, and quickly turned her head away.

"You... promised me, how can you go back on your word? A gentleman's word is as good as his bond." Gu Yunru's watery eyes gradually became blurred. Rong Zhen turned her face over domineeringly. The moment their eyes met, Gu Yunru felt as if she had been electrocuted all over her body, and felt numb to her heart.

"I will send you out of the palace now, and you should stay out of the palace's affairs." After Rong Zhen said this, he asked Qingfeng to bring a pair of carriages to escort her and Qingxing back to the palace.

Qingxing and Gu Yunru were sitting in the carriage, watching the young lady being depressed the whole way. Now, even her personal luggage was taken out.

"Miss, don't be unhappy. It's only a matter of time before you and the prince get together. What's wrong with having some real power sooner?" Qing Xing was open-minded, because this way she could get one step closer to Huang Zijun.

"I heard that there is no one in the Gu Mansion now?" Gu Yunru vaguely heard things about the Gu family in the palace. Because she secretly took the concubines away, even Gu Yan and Madam Gu were implicated.

"Yes, by the way, I heard from Yan'er that the second Miss Gu has now entered the palace and become the emperor's concubine."

"What?"

Gu Yunru had no idea that such earth-shaking changes had taken place just after she hadn't returned to Beijing for a few months.

"Miss, don't be surprised. I think the second young lady is trying to win face for the Gu family." Although Qingxing seems silly on weekdays, she still has certain insights into major issues.

"Gu Junyao, what an enemy." Gu Yunru muttered to himself and soon arrived at the gate of Prince Zhao's mansion.

Qingfeng opened the car curtain, smiled respectfully at Gu Yunru and said, "The eldest lady has arrived."

"Oh." Gu Yunru walked down from the carriage expressionlessly. Qingfeng led them all the way to the housekeeper. When the housekeeper learned that this was the future Princess Zhao, he smiled so happily that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.

"Princess, please come this way." The old butler looked to be in his fifties, with a thin face and a tall and thin body. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits. When he saw Gu Yunru, he was the first to call out "Princess".

"Don't call me old housekeeper like that. I haven't even entered the house yet." Gu Yunru's face turned red, but the old housekeeper laughed and said, "It's almost there. I've entered the house now."

What the old housekeeper meant was that they had already moved in, and all that was left was to hold a wedding banquet to let everyone know.

The old housekeeper called Qingyu and led them to Ginkgo Garden. Qingyu was wearing a green satin flowered double-breasted outer gown. She had become a first-class maid, responsible for taking care of the backyard. When she saw Gu Yunru, she looked obviously unnatural.

"Qingyu, go lead them to the backyard. This is the princess, and she must be treated well."

The old housekeeper patted her hands again and again, giving her many instructions, and this unnecessary action made Gu Yunru feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hehe, please lead the way quickly, our young lady is tired!" Qingxing was unhappy when she saw Qingyu, who was self-righteous. She was obviously a maid, but she was dressed up like a young lady, with a pair of gold filigree double-friend playing with pearls flowers on her head and purple konjac pearl earrings.

Look at this face, how does she look like a low-ranking maid?

"Yes, Miss, please come with Qingyu." Qingyu's tone was gentle, and her every move was very quiet and gentle. It was indeed unfair for her to be a maid, but her heart was high as the sky, but her life was fragile as paper.

When we arrived at Ginkgo Garden, we found that it was indeed the best place to live in the palace.

There was a row of servants standing in the courtyard. A woman in a short coat and white skirt walked up to Gu Yunru with a warm smile on her face and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Miss. My name is Qingshuang, and I am responsible for serving you food and clothing."
