"And that crystal clear jade Ruyi, I want that too. Place it in the hall. When the sun shines, it will look so beautiful."

The empress was also dizzy. After writing for a while, she realized that she had been coaxed into doing something by her sweet-talking daughter.

"That doesn't count, bring me another blank imperial edict."

Xu Jinyi was unwilling, with a pitiful look on her face: "Mother, if you don't write more, others may despise Ah Chen because of your status. You have to be kind to me, the Lord."

"Just reward me more, so that everyone knows that you value my lord, and respect Ah Chen."

"Empress, give it, give it!" Xu Jinyi hugged the empress' neck and rubbed it.

The empress was very pleased with her move. She didn't say anything, but the corners of her lips raised showed that she was happy.

"Give, give."

"You, you, you know how to obey my treasure. If you come here once, my warehouse will be half empty."

"There's no time when it's full, eh, let's raise a daughter."

"People say that raising a son will lead to a lot of dowry. I think raising a daughter is not that good. The bandits are not as powerful as you."

Although the empress shook her head, she still added two new treasures to the imperial edict.

"Okay, let's let the Ministry of Internal Affairs choose the date of the wedding first, and then you can take a look."

"Thank you, Queen Mother. I love you." Xu Jinyi hugged the Queen's neck and said, "Bah!"

This move made the empress burst into laughter.

The parents of the Gu family were extremely anxious. When they heard that Gu Chen had entered Prince Xian's Mansion, they ran in a hurry, but in vain.

When they learned that Gu Chen had been brought into the palace, their hearts felt cold again.

He kept standing at the gate, staring in the direction of the palace, anxious.

"Auntie, don't worry too much. I also have some friendship with the second princess. How about I ask her to help."

As if she had found a backbone, Gu's mother held her nephew's hand: "Okay, okay, Gu Huai, go and ask what's going on."

As soon as he finished speaking, a luxurious carriage was seen approaching from a distance. Everyone knew at a glance that it was the carriage from Prince Xian's Mansion.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of them, and Xu Jinyi jumped out first, her eyes falling on the Gu family's parents.

"Hello, uncle and aunt."

The Gu family's parents were so flattered that they were about to kneel down, but Xu Jinyi stopped them: "Uncle and aunt, you don't have to be polite, we will be a family soon, just call me Jiaojiao."

Xu Jinyi's words were like thunder exploding in the clear sky.

"One family?!" Mother Gu's eyes widened.

Seeing Gu Chen about to get off the carriage, Xu Jinyi left everyone behind and walked over to help Gu Chen.

Forget about that proud little look.

Seeing herself being touched by Prince Xian right before her eyes, Mother Gu's eyes fluttered up again and again.

He had no idea when his son got involved with King Xian.

At this time, the waiter took out the imperial edict and read it out. Mother Gu's eyes suddenly turned red.

Those were tears of grievance and sadness.

"Auntie, you don't have to be too happy. I am lucky to be able to marry A Chen. Don't worry, I will treat him well in the future. If you miss A Chen, you are always welcome to come to the palace."

Mother Gu blinked her eyes, held back her tears, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Thank you, Your Highness. After a long journey, Your Highness, would you like to come in for a drink of tea?" Gu's mother said politely, but she didn't expect Xu Jinyi to pull Gu Chen inside.

Gu's mother was not interested in the large amount of rewards at all. Her family had plenty of money and jewelry.

So he didn't care and let Gu Fu lead them to put away their things.

Gu Huai's eyes were bright, and there was a trace of jealousy in his eyes.

Staring at the backs of their family, they left angrily.

Everyone in the capital was shocked to learn that the person the Empress granted Prince Xian marriage to was actually a merchant.

Even if he is the richest man in the capital, he is still a merchant.

For a while, everyone thought that King Xian was disgusted with Zhao Empress, so he gave her such an unseemly king.

But after learning that the empress had rewarded Gu Chen with a lot of treasures, everyone couldn't figure out what the empress meant.

Also unable to guess the empress's thoughts was the second princess.

"What's going on? Why did your cousin suddenly return to secular life? Didn't you say you would take down the Gu family?"

The second princess had long coveted the Gu family's huge property, and had made plans to get it.

For the position of a true king, she wants to marry the son of a first-class minister, preferably a military general with military talismans.

Then she promised Gu Huai that as long as he became the adopted son of the Gu family and inherited the Gu family, she would marry him.

Last month, everyone had heard that adoption was being discussed, but now the trend has changed drastically.

Gu Chen, who had been a monk for so many years, actually returned to secular life and married that good-for-nothing Xu Jinyi.

Even the Gu family's property, which she was about to pocket, flew away like a cooked duck.

Gu Huai covered his red face and knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, I don't know what happened. There was no news at all. My cousin suddenly returned to secular life, and the adoption matter was ruined."

The second princess kicked it over: "It's useless, didn't you say it was guaranteed to be foolproof? What guarantee do you use?"

Gu Huai spit out a mouthful of blood: "Your Highness, maybe things are not what you think, and maybe it is not necessarily a good thing."

"Your Majesty gave my cousin a marriage to the Third Highness, perhaps because he acquiesced in your intention to become the Crown Princess, which means that the Third Highness is not destined for that position."

"Otherwise, why would she be given a merchant to marry her?"

The second princess tilted her head and thought for a moment, her eyes suddenly became sharp.

"The Queen Mother is pregnant now. If she grants marriage to the third child, then I will be the next one."

"No, I have to strike first."

After saying this, the second princess changed her clothes and entered the palace without even looking at the injured Gu Huai.

She wants to go to the palace and ask the empress for marriage. She wants to marry the son of General Dingguo.

She had always known that the son of General Dingguo was attracted to her, but if there were other choices, the second princess would never choose him.

Just because... he looks really ugly.

Not to mention being obese, I also have a lot of acne on my face and I still breathe when I walk.

But now the second princess has no choice. She has to ask for a marriage before the empress grants her a marriage.

Otherwise it's over.

When the empress heard her request, the displeasure in her eyes became even greater.

She didn't rush into the palace for her banned father.

Not for her pregnant mother.

He is still paving the way for himself.

The empress' face darkened: "You mean you have been in love with General Dingguo's son for a long time?"

The second princess had a cold sweat on her head. She knew that her words were a bit too forced.

But she can only do this. Her husband must not be the son of a merchant. She must marry someone who can help her.

Someone who can be her helper.

So under the empress's stern gaze, she bravely responded: "Yes, I ask the mother to grant a marriage to my son."

The empress shook her head slightly and sighed in her heart.

After all, this daughter was abandoned by Li Zijun.
