After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

As soon as Emperor Hui'an reached the door, he heard the sound of cups breaking in the hall, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Wasn't Concubine Wan summoning the two new brides from the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion at this time? Why did she drop the cup for no reason?

Before Concubine Wan could figure out what was going on, she saw the bright yellow color in front of the palace gate and hurriedly stood up to greet the emperor.

"See Your Majesty."

Everyone in the hall knelt on the ground, but Emperor Hui'an noticed Gu Jin at a glance, with her head buried and her shoulders trembling slightly. There was a water stain on her aqua red skirt.

"Everyone, get up." Emperor Hui'an sat down in the main seat and asked calmly, "What happened just now? Why is it so lively here?"

Concubine Wan stood up and was about to speak, but she heard Gu Jin call out "husband" in a sad and aggrieved voice.

When everyone looked over, Gu Jin had already thrown herself into Xie Ran's arms, sobbing and crying, "Husband, it's all my fault. I'm not smart and made the queen angry.

But don’t worry, even though the queen hit me with the cup, she was very sensible and only wet my skirt, sob…”

Xie Qing standing aside had a gloomy expression.

But has she become so dependent on Xie Ran after just a few days of getting along?

He was obviously here too, and as long as she pleaded with him, he would definitely speak well of her in front of her aunt.

"You're talking nonsense! It was clearly you who poured water on your skirt, how can it be said that I did it!" Concubine Wan had never seen such a bold person who dared to lie in front of the emperor.

Gu Jin's shoulders trembled even more. "Your Majesty, are you saying that I framed you? How could I have the guts to do that?"

Concubine Wan gritted her teeth in hatred, you are so stupid!

"Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense. She really did it herself. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xia Zhi and the others..." Concubine Wan has always portrayed herself as a gentle and kind person, and she was afraid that she would be misunderstood by Emperor Hui'an.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to ask. Just think of it as something I did. No one in Wanhe Palace will speak for me anyway." After saying this, Gu Jin felt that she was being too naive.

Concubine Wan was so angry that her body trembled, "You..."

"Concubine Wan."

Emperor Hui'an suddenly spoke, and Concubine Wan quickly raised her autumn eyes pitifully.

"If I'm not mistaken, the broken pieces on the ground are glass cups sent as tribute from the Western Regions, right?"

The colored glaze cups were dazzling and beautiful. It was Concubine Wan's birthday at that time, so Emperor Hui'an gave this set of colored glaze cups to Concubine Wan.

Such a precious item was naturally only used by Concubine Wan herself, while Gu Jin and Gu Rou only used ordinary porcelain. If Concubine Wan hadn't thrown the cup herself, how could this glass cup have hit Gu Jin?

It couldn't be that she took the glass cup and poured the water on herself, and then broke the cup?

He is a wise and powerful emperor. Would he be stupid enough to be deceived?

"What did she do to make you so angry?" Although Emperor Hui'an asked, he obviously believed Gu Jin's words.

Concubine Wan was in deep pain now, she was so angry at that time, otherwise she would not have been willing to throw away the glass cup.

Xia Zhi stepped forward and spoke for Concubine Wan, "Your Majesty, it was your Majesty who kindly prepared a gift for the two young ladies, but the third young lady not only did not appreciate it, but also found fault with it and repeatedly contradicted your Majesty.

The queen was so angry that she accidentally dropped the cup."

Emperor Hui'an raised his eyes to look at Gu Jin, his tone was emotionless, "Is what she said true?"

Gu Jin looked at Xie Ran eagerly. Xie Ran vaguely guessed what was going on and said, "Your Majesty asks you a question, just answer it truthfully."

"Oh." Gu Jin nodded obediently.

Emperor Hui'an raised his eyebrows. It was said outside that the eldest daughter of the Anding Marquis's Mansion was spoiled and willful, but now it seemed that she listened to Xie Ran very much.

"Your Majesty, the Queen gave me a pair of silk flowers and asked me if I like them."

"So how did you answer?"

Gu Jin carefully raised her head and glanced at Emperor Hui'an, then whispered, "Your Highness said she doesn't like it."

Emperor Hui'an: "..."

Gu Jin pretended not to notice the surprise on Emperor Hui'an's face, and said even more aggrievedly: "My husband has told me not to deceive the king, and I will keep it in mind.

If I had known that telling the truth would make the queen unhappy, I would have lied instead. "

Emperor Hui'an originally wanted to teach Gu Jin a lesson, but now he couldn't open his mouth. As an emperor, he couldn't teach others to bully him!

All the ministers said that they dared not deceive the emperor, but Emperor Hui'an knew clearly that those old guys never told the truth.

It's rare to find someone as honest as this girl.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hui'an's eyes softened a bit, and he ordered someone to present the gift prepared by Concubine Wan, "Let me see what Concubine Wan prepared for you that you despise so much."

Concubine Wan clenched her fists nervously, groaning in her heart.

When Emperor Hui'an saw the things on the two trays, he understood.

Emperor Hui'an's eyes moved slightly, and he asked meaningfully, "You don't like pearl flowers?"

Gu Jin nodded first, then shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

Gu Jin tilted his head to look at Xie Ran and asked in a low voice: "Husband, can I still tell the truth?"

Xie Ran's lips twitched slightly, and Emperor Hui'an said, "You don't have to ask him, just say whatever you want to say."

Gu Jin pursed her lips and said with some embarrassment: "In fact, if the queen gave me and my second sister pearl flowers, I would still like them, but..."

The following words seemed a little difficult to say, and Emperor Hui'an narrowed his eyes, "But Concubine Wan gave her a golden hairpin, so you feel unbalanced?"

Gu Jin raised his eyes, looked at Emperor Hui'an's majestic gaze, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, yes."

Xie Qing was full of worry. Thunder, lightning, rain and dew were all grace from the emperor. How could one be picky about the gifts from the superior? Gu Jin was afraid that he would not be able to escape punishment this time.

But Xie Ran, on the other hand, still looked as if nothing had happened, without any sign of worry.

Xie Qing looked at him with disdain. People with merchant blood flowing in their bodies were cold-blooded and heartless!

Gu Rouze almost laughed out loud. She thought Gu Jin had changed his personality, but it turned out that he was still as stupid as ever.

This time she directly angered His Majesty, and she will be skinned alive if she doesn't die!

The palace was silent. Just when everyone thought that Gu Jin was going to be punished, Emperor Hui'an laughed out loud and pointed at Xie Ran and said, "Xie Ran, should I say that your bride is honest or that she is bold?"

Xie Ran smiled and said gently, "My wife is rude. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hui'an waved his hand.

He was originally just an unpopular prince, who was treated coldly and looked down upon in the palace. After he ascended the throne, all he heard were flattery and fawning. It had been a long time since anyone had spoken the truth to him.

If Gu Jin had answered her just now that she just didn't like Zhuhua, he would have thought that Gu Jin had ulterior motives. But now it seemed that she was just like a little girl.

Although a little bold, she is still straightforward and cute.

"Since you don't like the pearls and flowers that Concubine Wan gave you, then I will give you a reward on behalf of Concubine Wan. What do you like? Silk, satin, or pearls and jade jewelry?"

Everyone was shocked, especially Gu Rou, whose face turned as dark as a freshly pickled cucumber.

Your Majesty, instead of punishing her, you want to reward her. How can this be justified?

Are fools so popular these days?

Gu Jin ignored everyone's thoughts and thought about it carefully. Emperor Hui'an was not in a hurry and waited for her patiently.

Gu Jin's eyelashes trembled slightly, she pursed her lips and tentatively said, "Your Majesty, can I really choose for myself?"

"Of course!" Emperor Hui'an was in high spirits.

A dazzling light suddenly lit up in Gu Jin's eyes. This was the first time that Emperor Hui'an saw such straightforward desire in a person's eyes.

Just like a lustful person desires a beauty, just like a prince desires the throne...

"Your Majesty, I can't think of any jewelry I like at the moment. Why don't you just give me some gold ingots? I'll go make them myself when I think of them!"

Emperor Hui'an: "..."
