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

Chapter 218 Making Trouble

Gu Jin entertained a group of officials' families in the backyard.

Women are more delicate than men, especially Gu Jin, who was originally a joke they talked about after dinner, but now she has transformed into a princess personally appointed by His Majesty and has been granted the title of a first-rank lady.

Such a good life is really enviable.

Among them, the most embarrassed were those who had a grudge against Gu Jin. Li Ying'er sat aside with a stern face, wanting to laugh but unable to, and her stiff mouth corners pulled together looked particularly weird and ugly.

She had always bullied and ridiculed Gu Jin before, but now not only is his status several levels higher than hers, even her fiancé is working under Gu Jin.

She now dared not say a bad word about Gu Jin. She couldn't stand him but couldn't fight him.

Although Gu Jin had no good impression of Li Ying'er, for Shen Wuji's sake, she didn't bother to pay attention to her as long as Li Ying'er didn't cause trouble.

"How is Fengqi's current situation? I've been staying in the Eastern Palace and can't spare the time to visit her." Crown Princess Xue Wei asked softly.

Although she and Jiang Fengqi were not close friends, they were familiar with each other. She couldn't help but worry when she heard that Jiang Fengqi cut her hair to break off the engagement.

Gu Jin smiled and replied, "Feng Qi is fine, better than before."

Although Xue Wei didn't understand what he meant, she felt relieved after hearing Gu Jin say this.

"The food here tastes so good, much better than the food in the imperial kitchen!" Xue Wei was used to eating outside food, so it was inevitable that she could not adapt to the light taste of the imperial kitchen.

Gu Jin looked at her sideways, they were both of similar age, they would still be middle school students in modern times, but Xue Wei usually had to show the steadiness that a Crown Princess should have, and only at this time would she show the demeanor of a young girl.

"This is made by the chef of my restaurant. If you like it, eat more. If you want to eat it in the future, you can always come to me."

Xue Wei smiled and accepted Gu Jin's kindness, but she had no such intention.

The prince is in poor health, so she has to stay by his side and take care of him all the time.

Gu Jin hesitated for a while but couldn't help asking the question that had puzzled her for a long time. Unexpectedly, Xue Wei just smiled faintly after hearing it, "In fact, you are not the first person to ask me this. Even my father and mother don't quite understand it."

Xue Wei was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War. She was beautiful and virtuous, and countless people came to the Xue family to propose marriage.

Although the Crown Princess has a high status, everyone knows that this position will change hands within two years, and Xue Wei will then become a widow at a young age. However, she still resolutely married Mu Zhen.

Xue Wei's eyes were bright, and she was filled with happiness amidst her shyness. "I know this is not the best choice, but true love shouldn't involve weighing the pros and cons!

Ever since I fell in love with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the palace banquet that year, I knew that I would never fall in love with another man in this life.

Even though our time together is limited, I think it is worth it to be with him even for one day."

Gu Jin was deeply touched.

I don't know since when love and stupidity have been tied together. It seems that loving someone more than yourself is shameful and sad, and only looking at money and the future can make you sober.

But how is this not another form of prejudice?

Love itself is a beautiful emotion. It is not shameful to love someone wholeheartedly. If you are let down by the other person, it is just because you met the wrong person and that the other person is not worthy of pure and sincere love.

Xue Wei and Jiang Fengqi are both brave girls, and they are both working hard to pursue what they want.

"Madam." Ruyi walked quickly over and whispered in Gu Jin's ear.

Gu Jin frowned, then smiled and stood up and said to everyone, "There are still a few dishes that haven't been prepared in the kitchen. I'll go over and rush them. Everyone, have some drinks first."

Gu Jin turned around with a cold look on her face. She followed Ruyi to a room next to the kitchen and saw Princess Jingmin, whose hands and feet were bound and her mouth was gagged by ebony...
