In Miaoxin's heart, her own young lady was not much worse than the second young lady. She had crystal clear skin and a more scholarly and delicate demeanor, but she was not as naturally charming as the two sisters.

"Miao Xin, accompany me to visit my second sister and congratulate her."

"yes."

The scene changed, and Gu Junyao licked her lips with lipstick tissue. She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, with impeccable facial features and clear and delicate eyebrows.

"Second sister."

Hearing Jun Yue's voice, Gu Junyao turned around quickly.

"Junyue, you are here, please help me check if I look good without makeup?" Gu Junyao dreamed of marrying Cheng Shaoyuan, but she never expected her dream to come true. She felt like she was falling into the clouds, ethereal and unreal.

"Everything your sister draws looks good." Gu Junyue was flattering on the surface, but she hated her in her heart. However, she had to pretend to be happy.

"Of course. My appearance is one of the best in the capital. Brother Cheng has finally changed his mind and knows who is the best." Gu Junyao was so complacent that she wanted to hold the bronze mirror in front of her and stare at her face in the mirror every day.

Mrs. Gu walked in from outside with a bright smile on her face. This was the dowry she prepared for Gu Junyao. She didn't expect the engagement to be so sudden today. She was so happy that she almost fainted.

"Jun Yue, it's great that you're here too. Look, your sister is going to be a bride soon!"

Madam Gu came to her side with a smile on her face, inserted the hairpin into her bun, and touched her oval face, which was as white as jade. "You are my dearest child. You are getting married. Suddenly, I feel a little reluctant."

"Mom, don't say that. The Cheng family lives on the street behind us, not too far away. Besides, I can always come back to see you and my sister."

Gu Junyao glanced at Gu Junyue, who quickly put on a fake smile and walked over to her and said, "Yes, mother, our sister is getting married, we should be happy for her, she finally got what she wanted."

After returning from Gu Junyao's place, Miao Xin stood behind her and served her tea, whispering, "Miss, it's not good for you to be so depressed. Seeing that the second young lady is about to get married, don't you do anything?"

"What can I do? Now that woman is so happy that she almost forgot her last name and name."

"Miss, it's not like there's no chance."

Hearing Miaoxin say this, she turned her head curiously. Miaoxin looked around and whispered a few words in her ear.

"This..." Gu Junyue hesitated. Would this...

"Miss, compared to your lifelong happiness, you must make a decision. Besides, as long as you marry into the Cheng family, the people of the Gu family will not dare to treat you lightly anymore."

Yes, as long as she marries into the Cheng family, her status will be many times higher than before. Everyone in the Gu family is a snob. If she doesn't climb up, she will definitely be stepped on by others to climb up.

On the other side, Cheng Shaoyuan returned home and when he heard Mrs. Cheng talking about this matter, his head suddenly buzzed.

Madam Cheng glanced at the silent master, walked up to Cheng Shaoyuan and said, "Son, since this matter was caused by the prince, we can't say anything.

But don't worry, the second young lady can only be a concubine when she enters the mansion, and it is impossible for her to be the principal wife."

Madam Cheng assured him, but Cheng Shaoyuan's mind was in a mess at the moment, and he said to the two of them: "It's not a question of whether I am a concubine or not. My son wanted to study alone and didn't want to get involved in those romantic issues. Besides, there is no love between the second young lady and I."

Master Cheng coughed lightly and said to him in a serious tone, "If there is no affection, it can be cultivated slowly. That's how your father and your mother got through it. Besides, the second young lady is pretty, so why is she not worthy of you? You should change your arrogant temper. You are so old and still haven't married a concubine. Outsiders will talk about it."

"So the two elders care about their own reputation, so they arranged this marriage for their son, right?"

Cheng Shaoyuan looked at the two of them aggressively. Master Cheng suddenly got angry, slammed the table, stood up and said, "You must accept this marriage!"

"Master, please calm down." Mrs. Cheng walked to Master Cheng and patted him on the back.

"My son doesn't want to get married." Cheng Shaoyuan was proud and stubborn by nature. He just wanted to find his ideal wife and grow old with her. He didn't want so many wives and concubines. But now his parents arranged a marriage for him without his consent, and he would never acknowledge it even if he died.

Mrs. Cheng knew her son's character, so she stepped forward and tried to persuade him kindly, "This is not what your parents meant, but what King Zhao meant. You know that King Zhao is the emperor's man. If this matter was originally ordered by the emperor to force you to get married, what can you say?

Do you want to sacrifice the lives of the entire Cheng family for your own happiness? ! "

Cheng Shaoyuan was no longer as furious as before. Looking at his mother's tears, he suddenly understood something. It turned out that this was King Zhao's intention. But why did he do this? They had no grudges against each other, so why did he force him to marry? "Mom... don't cry anymore. Your son will agree."

Cheng Shaoyuan had resisted many times and knew that his parents had always followed his wishes, but this time he couldn't refuse no matter what.

The next morning.

Gu Yunru sat up from the bed and stretched. After finishing her makeup, she wanted to go see the empress dowager and recite scriptures with her, but she heard some incredible news from Qingxing.

"What did you say? Cheng Shaoyuan is going to marry Jun Yao?"

Gu Yunru didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and her smile froze between her eyebrows.

"Yes, Miss, the news from outside the palace is that both families are planning weddings in an overwhelming manner."

Qingxing looked at the pear blossom cake on the table and was reminded of her past.

At this time, Xiaodengzi walked out of the door, came in and bowed to Gu Yunru.

"Miss Gu, here is a letter." Xiaodengzi handed the letter to Gu Yunru. When Gu Yunru opened it, her eyes lit up. This was written by the princess.

The princess wrote words of gratitude on the letter, and now she and Chu Ziqiao are wandering somewhere, living a relaxing and comfortable life.

"That's great! The lovers finally get married." Gu Yunru didn't know why, but she envied the princess for having the courage to wander around with the one she loved. She felt like she was locked in a birdcage in the palace, having to face that dark pervert every day.

"Miss, are you okay?" It was the first time that Qing Xing saw the young lady looking melancholy and sad. The young lady used to be carefree and nothing could stump her. There was always a shrewd light flashing in her wise eyes, but this time, for some reason, her expression looked a little heavy.
