Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

The night before the birthday party, Shen Junruo, just as Gu Zhen expected, came to politely ask her if she wanted to go with him.

Gu Zhen readily agreed, and the next morning Shuiyue helped her put on the dress prepared by Shen Junru.

Shuiyue now works very well with Gu Zhen and is her second pair of eyes walking in this world.

Gu Zhen touched the clothes on her body. They were of good quality and well made. They showed her status without being too eye-catching. The light yellow dress should suit her very well.

Shen Junru cares a lot about her adopted sister.

When getting on the carriage, Gu Zhen asked two maids to support her carefully and sat with Shen Junru.

Jiang Ruixin rolled her eyes in the carriage behind. If she was blind, she would not join the crowd. That would make her a laughing stock.

Shen Junru was sitting in the front carriage. She was also worried that Gu Zhen was nervous, so she kindly comforted him: "You have learned the rules well. If you follow me, no one will cause trouble for you."

Gu Zhen nodded in agreement, but was still thinking about how she had accidentally met Mr. Cui and how she had naturally proposed her cooperation.

"Don't be nervous, Zhen'er. The people in the Duke's Mansion are easy to get along with. The Duke's wife is also a rare straightforward person. There are so many guests today that the hosts may not be able to greet them all. No one will pay attention to us."

The Duke is the brother of the current Queen, and his wife is from the Cui family, the aunt of Cui Yan and Cui You. Both masters are of prominent status and noble character. No matter whether they are literati, politicians, or military generals, they are all willing to make friends with such a family.

Even though the eldest prince died young and the queen was no longer in charge of affairs, everyone knew that the mother and son held a special position in the emperor's heart.

In addition, the Duke's Mansion is neutral, so there will definitely be no harm in making friends with it.

Gu Zhen sorted out these things, calmed down his mood, and the carriage arrived at the Duke's Mansion.

She followed behind Shen Junru, with Shuiyue on her right and one of Shen Junru's maids on her left. Both of them were steady and did not let Gu Zhen take a wrong step.

The guests who came and went looked at the blind girl with curiosity. After all, she was a person who was on the gossip list in the capital.

I didn't expect her to be so charming and lovely. Her quiet eyes made her look even more extraordinary, clean and pure, without a trace of impurities.

It was as if God feared that she was too perfect, so he took away these eyes with evil intentions.

Gu Zhen actually didn’t know what her world looked like. In fact, it was more refined than before and could be called perfect.

If the supporting actress is not pretty, how can she cause trouble for the heroine? Even if she is the daughter of a hunter, she must have skin as white as cream and be as beautiful as the captivating fish and geese.

Gu Zhen listened to the guests' discussions, curling the corners of his lips indifferently, without showing any sign of stage fright.

Shen Junru felt relieved and took her to pay respects to the people in the Duke's Mansion.

As a princess or a princess consort, this is of course not necessary, but the old lady is a first-rank imperial concubine and an elder, so Shen Junru still bowed and saluted, being very humble.

The Duke's wife took two quick steps, not daring to accept the courtesy, and pulled her to sit next to the old lady affectionately: "Look at our princess, you are becoming more and more lovable. The old lady misses you so much!"

Shen Junru smiled appropriately and seemed much more generous when socializing with the hostesses. Gu Zhen listened and did not hesitate at all as she did in front of Huo Yuting.

Gu Zhen could also hear Jiang Ruixin's teeth chattering beside her.

But the people in the Duke's Mansion obviously looked down on Concubine Jiang and did not even pay any attention to her. Instead, the Duke's wife Cui Shujun looked at Gu Zhen several times.

"Is this the prince's newly adopted sister?"

Shen Junru said yes softly.

Gu Zhen bowed politely: "Greetings, Madam."

Cui Shujun always liked girls who were open and honest. She didn't mind her status and blindness. She was considerate and caring, but not overly enthusiastic. Naturally, the women in the room, regardless of their status, did not dare to show any other expression in front of her.

Jiang Ruixin became even more dissatisfied. She tried to speak several times but was stopped by the maid beside her.

It was not until Mrs. Jiang arrived with her daughter-in-law that she showed an aggrieved look.

Mrs. Jiang's son was born to a concubine, and her daughter-in-law is her niece. She is of the same mind as her and has a good relationship with Jiang Ruixin. She took her sister's hand and whispered a few words of comfort in her ear.

Jiang Ruixin closed her mouth angrily.

Mrs. Jiang was also an important figure in the Beijing social circle. She had nothing to do with the Duke's Mansion. After a few polite words, she took the initiative to walk over to Gu Zhen.

Shuiyue quietly squeezed Gu Zhen's hand.

Gu Zhen's eyes moved, and she heard Mrs. Jiang's unusual laughter: "Miss Gu is here too. I just happened to want to talk to her for a few words. Is that convenient?"

Don't hit a smiling person. Gu Zhen said in a gentle voice, "Madam, please speak."

Mrs. Jiang's voice was not loud, so only Gu Zhen and the maidservant beside her could hear it clearly. This man actually came to apologize. From his words, there was no trace of the contempt and arrogance he had that day.

Mrs. Jiang is not an ordinary person as she can lose her temper and put down her pride.

"Madam, please accept my kindness. I absolutely cannot accept your courtesy." Gu Zhen turned half of her body to the side. It was unclear whether she was avoiding him or not, but she showed an attitude at all.

Madam Jiang: "Miss Gu is very righteous, which makes me ashamed. Sigh, you look and behave exactly like my eldest daughter who died young. When I went back and told my master about it, he immediately reprimanded me. The second prince is right. You may be sent by God to make up for me. I should acknowledge you as my goddaughter!"

"Zhen'er doesn't dare to marry the Grand Master and Madam, so I have nothing else to ask for."

Madam Jiang held her hand affectionately, and then pulled the unwilling Jiang Ruixin over, forcing them to interlace their hands together: "Miss Gu is the prince's adopted sister, and she has a connection with our Taifu Mansion. In the future, you must give more advice to our Ruier in this mansion, so that the two sisters can have some help."

It turned out that this was the plan. Gu Zhen and Shen Junru were close. For the sake of friendship and face, Huo Yuting often asked about his sister's daily life. It was not good for a man and a woman to be alone in the same courtyard, so they often chose to chat in Shen Junru's room for a while. As a result, everyone in the palace knew that the prince had a very good relationship with the princess recently.

Jiang Ruixin has been in the mansion for quite some time, but she has yet to consummate her marriage with Huo Yuting. How could Mrs. Jiang not be anxious?

But she is a sister-in-law who was adopted halfway through the relationship. How can she control everything in the world and where her brother sleeps?

Gu Zhen responded with a few flawless remarks, pretending not to understand. Madam Jiang was about to speak directly when word came from outside that several princes, Huo Yuting, and the two sons of the Cui family were coming from the front yard, saying that they wanted to pay their respects to the old lady.

When the male relatives arrived, the young ladies all hid behind the screen or in the side rooms, leaving only the married ladies standing up to greet them.

Gu Zhen moved slowly, and with so many people around, Shuiyue became a little flustered. They finally took shelter behind the screen and stood at the outermost edge.

Several princes can be considered the Queen's sons, and as the Queen's biological mother, they should come to pay their respects to the old lady.

After greeting each other and taking their seats, the old lady kindly asked about the studies and health of the younger generations.

Except for a few little princes who were still young, the second and third princes had already married and had children. The old lady looked at Huo Yuting with a smile and asked him when he would give birth to a little prince.

The Huo family, starting from Huo Yuting’s grandfather, has been a family of kings of a different surname whose titles have not been demoted for three generations. Huo Yuting has made great military achievements, and even if he gives birth to a little prince, it is guaranteed that his title will not be demoted either.

Huo Yuting glanced at Shen Junru, who was looking down beside the old lady. He thought she had said something to the old lady, and his face darkened a little, but he still said respectfully: "In reply to the old lady, the descendants will follow fate, Yuting is not in a hurry."

Shen Junru looked up at him, and fell into those cold and distant eyes. Except for a little passion when they were doing that, he was like this all the time, as if he really disliked her.

Shen Junru was sad, her eyes were sore, and she forced herself to lower her head.

This scene was seen by one person, Cui You, the second son of the Cui family in Suzhou.

Cui You fell in love with Shen Junru at first sight. He felt that the room was full of noise, but only this trace of sadness caught his attention.
