Gu Jinzhi had already gotten off the sedan, and Aunt Cheng helped her personally.

Eunuch Chang stood in front of them.

Gu Yantao came over in a hurry and couldn't wait to bow to Eunuch Chang.

Eunuch Chang returned the favor with a smile.

After a while, the eldest lady, the second master, the second lady, Gu Yanzhen and his wife, and the first cousin and his sister-in-law all came out to greet them, with astonishment on their faces.

Mr. Gu didn't come.

Gu Yantao asked his family members to salute Eunuch Chang and Aunt Cheng.

Eunuch Chang quickly stopped him: "This slave and Aunt Cheng are sending the princess back to her mansion. If she accepts the gift, the Queen Mother will not spare these two slaves when she returns. Please forgive me."

Everyone was half squatting or bowing, but it was hard to stop halfway, so they saluted one after another.

Eunuch Chang and Aunt Cheng had no choice but to return the favor in general terms.

Song Pan'er looked at her daughter carefully through the crowd. It had only been twenty days since she last saw her, and her daughter seemed to have grown taller, whether it was an illusion or reality, and she had also lost a lot of weight.

When serving the Queen Mother in the palace, one must be careful at all times.

Song Paner was heartbroken, with tears in her eyes.

Gu Yanzhen watched Gu Jinzhi come back, his heart was touched and his eyes were a little bitter. If a man like him shed tears, wouldn't it be a joke? He quickly opened his eyes.

Gu Jinzhi was also moved in his heart and his eyes became hot.

It’s just that the princess...

What princess?

Song Pan'er frowned slightly.

She has been absent from the capital for more than six years, and she does not know many things. The emperor's brothers have been sent to fiefdoms one after another since the emperor ascended the throne; and the emperor's sons are too young. The emperor's uncles include several idle princes without fiefdoms.

…

What princess? Where did the princess come from?

The second master and the second lady also looked at each other, with shock in each other's eyes: Gu Jinzhi went to the palace, and came back in such a beautiful state...

The eldest master, Gu Yantao, greeted them and invited everyone inside.

He originally wanted to invite Eunuch Chang and Aunt Cheng to the main hall.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Cheng came here under orders. She wanted to help the Queen Mother see where Gu Jinzhi lived.

The things the Queen Mother rewarded were not for the Gu family, but for Gu Jinzhi.

A group of people gathered again and headed towards the third room.

Gu Yantao was worried: Although the courtyard of the third bedroom was exquisite, it was very small. It was originally used by the third son Gu Yanzhen when he got married. It was a place where the young couple lived. It was really good.

But as a family, it seems too tight.

When we arrived at Jingyuan, everyone gathered together, including Aunt Cheng and some thirty other palace servants from Kunning Palace. They were also members of the Gu family. They were also the maids and women serving in the courtyard. It was actually packed with nearly a hundred people.

The quiet garden was filled with water for a while.

Aunt Cheng frowned heavily.

The Queen Mother indeed had foresight and asked her to come and have a look.

Living in such a small place is so uncomfortable!

Chengguo Gong Gu's family. The whole garden is very small.

It was a great grace given to Duke Cheng back then.

Nowadays, Cheng Guogong’s family has become four generations living under one roof. Can it not be crowded?

However, according to the rules of the nobles outside, when parents are still alive, they are reluctant to separate the family.

"Princess, this servant will go back first." Aunt Cheng put down her things. Seeing that the room was full of people who couldn't move around and didn't drink any tea, Aunt Cheng smiled and wanted to leave.

Gu Yantao hurriedly winked at the eldest lady and asked her to ask Aunt Cheng to stay and sit for a while longer.

The eldest lady looked at Gu Jinzhi's face.

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said to Aunt Cheng: "Thank you for your hard work, aunt. The Queen Mother can't live without you for a moment, so I will keep you here for nothing."

Then he saluted Eunuch Chang again.

Gu Yantao asked Gu Chenzhi to seal some money in the warehouse.

When the people from Kunning Palace left, Gu Yantao took care of everyone.

Those in the palace all praised Mr. Gu Ge for his generosity in their hearts.

After seeing off the people from Kunning Palace, everyone in the Gu family was still in Jingyuan, asking Gu Jinzhi what was going on: "That aunt is in charge of affairs around the Queen Mother? She called you Princess, how did Sister Jin get rich and honorable?"

Gu Jinzhi smiled and didn't know which answer to answer.

The boy outside quickly came to report that the imperial edict had arrived. It was the Minister of Rites who personally issued the edict, asking Miss Seven to receive it.

Gu Jinzhi had just sat down and followed his uncle and parents to the front hall to receive the order.

The imperial decree conferred marriage and gave Gu Jinzhi to the Queen Mother's youngest son, Prince Luyang, as his royal concubine.

King of Luyang...

The eyes of the second lady were red: King Luyang was the most favored by the Queen Mother, even more so than the emperor. His fiefdom was in Luzhou Prefecture, and it was the richest fiefdom among the kings today.

He is also the only prince among the princes who is a compatriot with the emperor.

Moreover, the King of Luyang is handsome and well-known throughout the world.

How come a girl from the third bedroom is so lucky?

Song Pan'er's eyes rolled slightly. She thought of the rumors in the market that King Luyang was a half-fool, and her heart tugged.

Others only think about wealth and fame, but Song Pan'er thinks about her daughter's happiness.

Except for Song Pan'er, everyone was either happy, envious or jealous.

Gu Jinzhi calmly stepped forward to receive the imperial edict.

Everyone's eyes wanted to poke holes in her body, and they all asked her what was going on. Gu Jinzhi all smiled and looked like he didn't want to talk more, which made everyone angry and annoyed.

Heartbreaking.

After the imperial edict, the eldest lady said: "The Queen Mother has rewarded Sister Jin with so many things and placed them all in the Jingyuan. There is enough chaos there, so let's leave. We will go and congratulate Sister Jin tomorrow."

Everyone agreed.

After everyone dispersed, the eldest lady ordered the boys to remove the incense table that had just been ordered.

As a result, another boy at the door came to report that there was another imperial edict and asked the seventh girl to take it.

The eldest lady's mouth just couldn't close.

Her head was dizzy.

This whole day, her heart was up and down.

This time the person delivering the decree in person was the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

Gu Jinzhi was given to the King of Luyang, and all marriages were handled by the Ministry of Rites, and the Gu family was not allowed to interfere.

The Ministry of Household Affairs has the world's wealth, so why are they here? Is it a reward?

If you become a princess, will you get a reward?

While the eldest lady was thinking about it, she asked her servants to invite Gu Yantao and the people from the third room to receive the order.

——*——*——

It had snowed for two days. The courtyard was muddy, but the wintersweet became more and more mellow, and its charming fragrance lingered.

The second lady followed the third room twice, and the skirt of her skirt was slightly wet. Although she was wearing wooden clogs, the snow still fell on them, making her embroidered shoes wet.

The second master's trousers and the hem of his robe were also stained with snow.

The couple changed their clothes separately.

The second master's bed in the inner room was crooked. He didn't sleep well last night.

The second lady was leaning on the Kang in the East Room, holding the stove to keep warm.

Before she was quiet for a moment, she heard footsteps outside. The curtain was lifted, and her three beautiful and beautiful daughters came in one after another.

"Mom, what's going on?" The fifth girl sat down next to the second lady and asked her mother, "I just heard a lot of commotion in Jingyuan. What did the maid say that the Queen Mother gave the seventh girl many things?"

The second lady nodded.

"Not only the things, but also the title of princess." The second lady said jealously. "Princess of Luyang! In this world, apart from being a queen and a first-class concubine in the palace, there is probably no one more noble than this! All the second-class concubines in the palace are

Not as good as King Luyang’s fiefdom. It is the richest fiefdom in the world, and it belongs to the Queen Mother herself... You have not seen how many things were rewarded!"

The fifth girl's eyes were all red.

She clenched her fingers tightly.

Why do girls from the same background have such good luck?

It's all because of her grandfather who sent her to the palace!

The fourth girl also showed an expression of envy, but didn't think much about it. She looked like a middle-aged girl, and she knew since she was a child that she couldn't become a master. Therefore, she didn't feel lost.

Unlike the fifth girl, she has been stronger than others since she was a child.

The fifth girl always thinks that she should be the one to take the lead in everything. If someone outperforms her, she becomes jealous.

"...I heard people say that the King of Luyang is very handsome!" The sixth girl looked yearning, "That look is like the reincarnation of Pan An. There is no more handsome man in the world than him."

The fourth girl also nodded, she had heard of it too.

The fifth girl was even more angry: "It's just good luck! If her grandfather hadn't let her go to the palace, how could she have achieved such an achievement? If we had followed our grandfather south, we would be rich now. Where could we get that little hoof? Hometown

The ugly girl who came down is all thanks to my grandfather!"

Then, she said to the second lady, "Back then, why didn't you and dad follow us to Yanling?"

He actually blamed his parents.

The second lady's face suddenly changed with anger.

"I gave birth to you, raised you, and now I have to eat your waste!" The second lady yelled angrily, "You go out and just pretend that I don't have you as my daughter. In the future, when you get rich, my mother won't touch you either."

Your light!”

The fifth girl suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

well?

The seventh girl entered the palace not as a noble, but as a princess?

So, is the share that went into the palace still there?

"Mother, mother!" The fifth girl didn't seem to notice that she was half-dead with her mother's anger. She stepped forward and took the second lady's arm with excitement, "Mother, isn't it that seventh sister has become a noble? At the beginning, the uncle said, I can

Those who entered the palace. Now that Seventh Sister has not gone, does that share still exist?"

The second lady is also looking forward to her daughter entering the palace.

Her mood was even more urgent than that of the fifth girl.

She has no son and is always looked down upon by others. She urgently needs a daughter to help her grow her face so that she can hold her head high in front of others.

Among her three daughters, the fifth girl is the most beautiful. She has a high chance of marrying a prince in the future, so the second lady has doted on her since she was a child. She wants the best in everything, just hoping that her daughter will have the best future in the future.

.

In order to cultivate this daughter, the second wife even ignored the fourth and sixth girls.

As a result, the fourth girl and the sixth girl were not close to their mother, and they were not close to the fifth girl.

"Let your father ask!" The second lady was also excited, "The quota for entering the palace must still be there! This time, we can't waste it anymore!"

She went into the inner room by herself and called the second master to get up.

The second master had just fallen asleep, and was suddenly woken up by his second wife. He sat up angrily and said, "What are you making trouble again!"

The second lady said what she just said.

When the second master heard this, he lost all sleep.

Why didn't they think of this? Because their family lost the opportunity to send their daughter to the palace, they hated the first and third houses and were depressed.

Now, the fifth girl's words seemed to have been thrown into the dead lake by boulders, causing ripples.

The second master got busy getting dressed and wanted to ask his uncle.

As a result, the young man who was inquiring about the news ran in and said to the second master and second wife: "...the Ministry of Revenue has ordered that the seventh girl of our family be rewarded with five hundred catties of gold!"

The second master and second wife suddenly froze, their mouths opened wide, and they were so shocked!
