Chapter 582 The Prince's White Moonlight Substitute (5)

The wife of Master Jiang was a highly respected noble lady in the capital because she had raised the most talented woman in the capital.

She has always been arrogant and thinks her daughter is perfect.

The eldest daughter was proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was outstanding, the most outstanding among the noble ladies in the capital.

The second daughter was pretty and cute, and looked very much like her when she was young, so she favored her more.

For the sake of the family and the third prince's cause, they sent both daughters to the palace.

If the eldest daughter had not fallen in love with Huo Yuting, she could have become the queen with her qualifications.

The second daughter can live happily thanks to her elder sister's influence in the prince's heart. Otherwise, with her temper, no one would be able to tolerate her wherever she goes.

Mrs. Jiang knew this, but that didn't mean any cat or dog could bully her daughter.

At most, she was half of Huo Yuting's mother-in-law, but when she entered the palace, she sat directly in the main seat.

Shen Junru, as the princess and the queen, actually sat at the bottom.

Shuiyue lagged behind Gu Zhen half a step, lowered her head and gently told Gu Zhen everything in the room. Gu Zhen imagined it and was shocked again by the humbleness and tolerance of the heroine in the abuse novel.

Supported by Shuiyue, she stood in the center of the hall.

Mrs. Jiang drank a cup of tea and slowly raised her eyelids to look over. At just one glance, she was stunned.

Everyone says they look alike, but no one says they look this similar.

She seemed to see the eldest daughter who was brought up by her, who was proper and steady in every way and who was just what she wanted.

For a moment, Mrs. Jiang wanted to stand up and walk over to take a closer look at her.

But soon, her gaze fell into Gu Zhen's eyes which were calm.

If you say they are similar, it is because of these almond-shaped eyes. If you say they are not similar, it is also these eyes.

Her gentleness is lively and playful, not so dead and silent.

In the mother's heart, her daughter is naturally good in every way. Even if she is scheming and has done many evil things, Mrs. Jiang feels that it is all for self-protection. What is the point of using some means to get what she wants?

No one knew how many concubines, maids, illegitimate sons and daughters had disappeared from her.

It’s just that my daughter is still too young and too unlucky.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang glanced viciously at Shen Junru who was sitting below her.

She's the one who should be damned!

Shen Junru looked calm, as if she had gotten used to these difficulties. She sat there playing with the jade bracelet on her wrist, ignoring Mrs. Jiang's hostility.

Mrs. Jiang cleared her throat: "Is this Miss Gu?"

Gu Zhen lowered her eyes: "I am Gu Zhen."

"Hmph!" Madam Jiang slammed the teacup down, but did not immediately attack, "Where is the prince? Did he know I was coming?"

Ever since his daughter's death, Huo Yuting has felt guilty for allowing Mrs. Jiang to be so arrogant.

Seeing that the princess didn't say anything, the servant replied timidly that the prince should be on his way back.

As he was speaking, Huo Yuting arrived.

Not only was he there, but there were also several princes traveling with him.

The current emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem, and twenty to thirty princes and princesses, but not many of them are qualified to compete for the throne.

The eldest prince died early, and the queen had long since stopped caring about worldly affairs, spending all day in the Buddhist temple praying for her son.

Among the rest, the second and third princes have the highest support.

The second prince's mother, Concubine Ning, was born in a marquis's mansion. When she gave birth to the heroine, Shen Junru, there were strange signs in the sky, so the emperor assigned Shen Junru to Huo Yuting, who was also born with auspicious signs.

From then on, everyone thought that Huo Yuting was tied to the Second Prince's boat.

But in fact, the person he was loyal to was the third prince, who had a humble background but was quite a wise ruler, good at keeping a low profile and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

The remaining princes were incompetent and had no influence on the situation. They each took sides and waited for their brother to ascend the throne so that they could be granted a good fiefdom.

Shuiyue described the situation in detail in Gu Zhen's ear, but she didn't recognize the princes, so she could only say how many people had come.

Gu Zhen slightly turned towards the direction where Huo Yuting was speaking and looked at him blankly. Huo Yuting's heart softened when he saw this. It was really pitiful that he had been bullied one after another within just a few days of entering the mansion.

He gave Gu Zhen a light support.

This scene hurt Mrs. Jiang's heart.

Madam Jiang held back and paid her respects to the princes. The women and servants in the room knelt on the ground, and Gu Zhen was also helped to kneel on the ground.

Several princes looked at the new face at the same time.

"She really looks like Miss Jiang." One of the princes touched his chin, "Could this be Miss Jiang?"

The princes burst into laughter, and the second prince Shen Yao was the first to say, "Don't talk nonsense, she is half a head taller than Miss Jiang!"

He even went over and pulled the man up to compare.

Gu Zhen was pulled by him and nearly fell down. This Shen Yao was really stupid, with a head full of weird ideas. Apart from not being lustful or violent, the word "tyrant" was written all over his face.

No wonder Huo Yuting looked down on him.

Gu Zhen lowered his head in panic, pretending to shrink.

"Brother, don't scare this girl," the Third Prince Shen Ci said in a gentle and courteous tone, "Miss Gu, don't be afraid. Brother will not hurt you."

Gu Zhen bowed and thanked him, looking unfamiliar with the etiquette of the capital. The princes did not bother to argue with her and started talking about her eyes.

"Was he born blind or was he sick?"

"Such a good girl, but she is actually blind. What a shame."

"Yuting, she saved you. It's a scene of hero and beauty. Don't let this girl down."

"That's right, she looks so much like Miss Jiang."

"More like sisters than real sisters."

Gu Zhen's eyelids twitched. She had never thought that people from the royal family could be so noisy.

No wonder out of more than a dozen princes, only two could be picked out to compete for the throne!

The chirping is so annoying!

Gu Zhen kept her head down, twisting a handkerchief in her hands, looking a little pitiful standing in the crowd.

Huo Yuting walked over and protected her behind him, and bowed to everyone: "Stop talking, what if you scare others?"

The protective attitude made Shen Junru and Jiang Ruixin's eyes red at the same time.

Shen Junru concealed her sadness by drinking tea.

Jiang Ruixin shook her mother's hand.

Madam Jiang tried to appease her, and when she spoke again, she was already talking to Huo Yuting: "Your Majesty, I came here shamelessly today because I want to ask you a question."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent. Master Jiang was their teacher, and in an era when Confucianism and filial piety were passed down through the country, no one dared to disrespect Master Jiang's family.

Huo Yuting had a complicated expression and said respectfully, "Master's wife, please speak. Yuting dare not disobey."

Tutor Jiang was also his mentor.

Mrs. Jiang thought of her eldest daughter and choked up a little: "When Rou'er passed away, you knelt in front of your master. How did you guarantee that?"

"I will never forget Yi Rou in this life. No matter when, I will always keep her in my heart and marry Rui Er... love her, respect her..."

Jiang Yirou loves her younger sister the most, and the Jiang family takes advantage of this and wants to tie this god of war firmly to their ship.

Shen Junru could hardly control her shaking hands. It turned out that Huo Yuting had made such a vow.

Madam Jiang knew what was going on, and suddenly pointed at Gu Zhen and started to complain: "Your Highness brought your second daughter back, did you really do it to save her life? Or did you have other ideas in mind? Did you want to vent your old feelings by seeing her? Your Highness, do you know that this is unfair to Rou'er? How can a proud person like her tolerate a lowly person who looks like her taking her place and staying by your side?"
