Despite all this, they still couldn't recreate the flavor Princess Rongyang desired.
So, the mere mention of grilled fish sent chills down her spine.
Fortunately, Shen Rongyang was not the kind of cruel and unreasonable master, and he would not punish them for not doing it.
It just means they'll keep doing it.
Seeing Princess Rongyang's depressed look, Lü'er couldn't help but sigh.
"Alright, then I'll go to the kitchen and talk to them again, and see if I can make the flavor you like this time."
She then headed back to the kitchen.
At that moment, Princess Rongyang could only think about the taste of that grilled fish.
That grilled fish was just so delicious.
But she had only taken a few bites when she was interrupted by the man in black.
So she kept thinking about it and wished she could eat it again.
At this moment, Gu Jingchun was about to leave the palace when he was stopped by someone.
Granny Li respectfully bowed to Gu Jingchun.
"Miss Gu, the Empress Dowager requests your presence."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun nodded and bowed before following the Empress Dowager to the Shou'an Palace.
As soon as he entered, Gu Jingchun saw the Empress Dowager looking at something.
Seeing Gu Jingchun enter, she immediately put her things down before saying, "You're here."
Gu Jingchun quickly bowed.
The Empress Dowager told Gu Jingchun to get up, and without saying anything more, immediately waved her hand.
Gu Jingchun was still puzzled.
Soon, several maids came in carrying trays.
"I heard about what happened today. Although it was the Crown Prince's fault, the outcome was good."
"We've finally settled this marriage issue."
"However, this will also damage your reputation."
The Empress Dowager sighed.
"I've thought about it for a long time, and I still feel a little guilty towards you, so I thought I'd send you something."
"I have nothing else but these things to give you. I hope they will cheer you up."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun looked at the trays.
When the cover was opened, a gleaming array of fine items was revealed: gold, silver, jade, and many other treasures.
Even though Gu Jingchun had seen many good things, he couldn't help but feel dizzy at this moment.
After all, these are all rare and precious items!
Many of them are rare items that money can't buy.
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager was so generous and gave it to her so readily.
If she had known this would happen, her reputation could have been even worse, but she didn't care anyway.
However, Gu Jingchun also knew that many of these items were intended for Gu Jinxi.
It was only because the Empress Dowager couldn't see him that she sent it to him through Gu Jingchun.
Various thoughts flashed through Gu Jingchun's mind, but he remained calm and composed on the surface.
Upon seeing this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but admire her in her heart.
Such a calm and composed mindset, unperturbed by honor or disgrace, will surely lead to great achievements in the future.
The Empress Dowager was worried that Gu Jingchun might harbor resentment, so she praised her a few more times.
In fact, the Empress Dowager summoned Gu Jingchun today for nothing other than to deliver some gifts.
Upon learning that the wedding had been postponed, she breathed a sigh of relief and thought of calling Gu Jingchun over to have a talk.
However, after calling the person over, she realized that she didn't have anything to say to her.
After thinking for a moment, the Empress Dowager told her about Shen Hechuan's mother, Jiang Xianhao.
"Have you seen Hechuan's mother, Your Majesty the Empress?"
"Today's events were largely thanks to her intervention; otherwise, things certainly wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
Gu Jingchun shook his head.
Gu Jingchun had never met the reclusive Empress, neither in his past life nor in this one.
The Empress Dowager sighed as she spoke.
"Now that things have come to this, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. I'll just be frank with you. The Crown Prince's situation is actually much more serious than you can imagine."
"His Majesty has a great deal of opinion against him, and his position as crown prince is a ticking time bomb."
"And your appearance and Gu Jinxi's appearance are a great help to him."
"Now, even if his mother comes out, I believe that with your and the Empress's help, he will surely be safe and sound."
As the Empress Dowager spoke, her gaze remained fixed on Gu Jingchun, attempting to discern a look of approval on his face.
However, Gu Jingchun just gave a dry laugh and didn't respond.
In fact, Gu Jingchun was aware of the Empress Dowager's thoughts. However, she was not yet able to wholeheartedly stay by Shen Hechuan's side.
Even though the road ahead is now blocked, Gu Jingchun has not changed his mind and will never put himself and Gu Jinxi in danger.
The imperial palace was the most dangerous place for power struggles within the imperial court.
She would never let her Seele take any risks.
The Empress Dowager saw through Gu Jingchun's thoughts and could only sigh before letting him leave.
Meanwhile, Luo Ziqian had already stormed out of the palace in a huff.
But before I stepped out the door, I could vaguely hear two palace maids talking.
"Have you heard? The Crown Prince kidnapped the bride today."
"A palace maid said."
"What do you mean by the Crown Prince stealing the bride? It was clearly His Highness Prince Rui who impersonated the Crown Prince to steal the bride. His Majesty has already investigated this matter and His Highness Prince Rui has been imprisoned."
Another palace maid immediately retorted.
But another palace maid clearly didn't believe it and immediately said, "That's impossible. How could His Highness Prince Rui do such a thing?"
"I've heard that His Highness the Crown Prince seems to have had other feelings for that Miss Gu for a long time."
"I think it's clearly His Highness the Crown Prince's doing on purpose, creating the illusion that he was framed by Prince Rui."
"However, speaking of which, it's truly outrageous that His Highness the Crown Prince would actually steal his own good brother's wife..."
She paused for a moment, then said, "Do you think His Highness the Crown Prince is a pervert?"
"Otherwise, why is it that even though he's perfect in every way, His Majesty and the Empress don't like him?"
"Perhaps he has something we don't know about..."
Luo Ziqian was already full of anger and grievances, and upon hearing this, his anger immediately surged to the top of his head.
He rushed over immediately and shouted angrily.
"Which palace are you from, daring to talk about the Crown Prince? I think you don't want to live anymore."
After Luo Ziqian finished speaking, the two palace maids hurriedly bowed and tried to leave, but Luo Ziqian grabbed their wrists one in each hand.
He then took them directly to the head maid, and only after watching the two maids being severely punished did he leave satisfied.
It wasn't until he stepped out of the palace gates that he realized what had happened.
She had clearly said that she would not pay any attention to Shen Hechuan and would not care about Shen Hechuan's affairs, but she forgot about it in the end and was even smug about it.
No, that won't do.
Therefore, he must be careful in the future and will never interfere in Shen Hechuan's affairs again.
Otherwise, he's a dog.
Wanhe Hall.
After everyone left.
Emperor Rongcheng, Shen Wanshan, sat on the dragon throne for a long time before slowly getting up.
He went into the inner room and saw Jiang Xianhao sleeping on his bed with a frown on her face.
