Seeing Zhou Mu's ascetic face, all the princes and princesses took a deep breath, secretly thinking that their royal brother was so good-looking, no wonder he was loved by his father.
Gu Xiyan took out the gift that she had prepared a few days ago. Every prince and princess has one.
She owns a Jinyu Pavilion and collects some rare gold and silver jewelry and gives them to the princesses. The princesses are very happy to receive the gifts.
Although Princess Baohe had not had a good impression of Gu Xiyan before, she had to admit that she had never seen the style of hairpin that Gu Xiyan gave her before, so she said stiffly, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Several younger princes also received some interesting gifts.
Only King Zhao failed. He looked at Gu Xiyan like this, feeling a little aggrieved: "Sister-in-law, don't I have a gift?"
Gu Xiyan smiled and agreed with him: "I was in a hurry when I entered the palace today and didn't have time to prepare. Otherwise, the third brother will go to our house when he has free time. I will personally cook some dishes for him to taste."
King Zhao's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Then tonight... I will go to the house to make trouble when my eldest brother is free."
But he heard something: Gu Xiyan is the organizer of the food festival.
In other words, he can have the opportunity to taste the delicacies that he has no chance to taste at the food festival without spending a penny.
"Welcome." Zhou Mu responded calmly.
King Zhao originally thought Zhou Mu was aloof and was a little afraid of him, but seeing Gu Xiyan's affability, he became less afraid of Zhou Mu.
Concubine Xian saw from the side that Gu Xiyan was so good at doing favors, and felt very unhappy.
She used to particularly dislike Gu Xiyan, so she forced Zhou Xing to withdraw from Gu Xiyan's marriage again and again.
She never thought that during all these years of being immersed in the harem, she would one day make a mistake.
Looking at Liu Chaoyan again, she looks gloomy, without the joy of a newlywed bride. Her face is haggard. She has no sense of presence in such a big occasion. How can she look like a royal wife?
Gu Xiyan knew how to bribe these useless princes and princesses, but Liu Chaoyan only had the face of a resentful woman, which was bad luck!
At this moment, Concubine Xian was even more dissatisfied with Liu Chaoyan.
Zhou Xing’s mood is also extremely complicated.
In the past, Gu Xiyan had no sense of presence in the Hou Mansion. Neither the elders of the Liu family nor the Liu family brothers and sisters liked Gu Xiyan.
Now that she has become a royal wife, his younger siblings are all surrounding her. This is a situation he had never imagined before.
Marrying a wife should be a virtuous one, and he had to admit that Zhou Mu married a virtuous wife.
Liu Chaoyan was indifferent throughout the whole process, and there was no smile on her face, which usually loves to smile.
Even when she saw Gu Xiyan mingling with the princes and princesses, her mood did not change much.
Concubine Xian looked at her with disdain every time. She must have regretted backing out of Gu Xiyan's marriage, and now she regrets it, right?
Gu Xiyan is gentle, generous, and considerate. All the princes and princesses like to talk to her. The younger ones even surround her and say "sister-in-law" to her left and "sister-in-law" to her right.
After lunch, Gu Xiyan had won everyone's favor. Emperor Chengde was also quite pleased to see this scene, and only sighed that Zimo had excellent vision.
Before Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan left the palace, Emperor Chengde specifically asked Gu Xiyan to come to the palace frequently when he had free time, and Gu Xiyan happily agreed.
The couple had lunch and then left the palace.
Liu Chaoyan and Zhou Xing were called to Ganquan Palace by Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian had not had an attack in front of everyone before. As soon as she entered Ganquan Palace, Concubine Xian changed her expression and asked Liu Chaoyan in a deep voice: "Seeing that Gu Xiyan has a good relationship with other princes and princesses, don't you know how to imitate her?
Ah Xing married you instead of Gu Xiyan. Are you holding him back like this?"
Liu Chaoyan said with a dull face: "It's my fault, it's not my fault. I let my mother and concubine down."
Concubine Xian became angry when she saw Liu Chaoyan's face as a late mother: "The useless Princess Qin, what is the use of marrying A Xing? Trash!!"
After hearing this, Zhou Xing finally spoke: "Mother, concubine, and sons and ministers are also at fault."
He also knew that last night had passed. After all, it was the wedding night, but he stayed at Hanxiang Garden in Suho, which made Liu Chaoyan, the princess, lose her face.
Yesterday's wedding was deserted. He was resentful towards Liu Chaoyan, and Su Ho gave him a good plan. In order to reward Su Ho, he stayed overnight in Hanxiang Garden.
Seeing Liu Chaoyan's eyes swollen from crying this morning, he felt uncomfortable.
"Don't protect her. A princess has the responsibilities of a princess. If she is not qualified as a princess, she can leave her at any time!" Concubine Xian slammed the table and shouted in a deep voice.
Liu Chaoyan pursed her lips, and a little anger flashed in her eyes.
She clenched her fists and her teeth chattered with anger. She must not be dismissed and must secure her position as Princess Qin.
Even if she lost the opportunity last night, as long as she gets pregnant with her legitimate son as soon as possible, she still has a chance to win back the city. If she can't count on Zhou Xing to be devoted to her, she can only borrow the power of his son.
If she is abandoned, her life will be over.
She knelt down in front of the wise concubine and said in a hoarse voice: "It's my son's fault. Mother and concubine must not get anxious because of my son."
Seeing this, Zhou Xing also knelt down in front of Concubine Xian: "Please calm down, Concubine!"
Concubine Xian knelt down when she saw Zhou Xing, but she still couldn't bear to see her son in trouble, so she waved her sleeves and said, "That's all, you can leave the palace. You can live your own life, so you can take care of yourself."
"My dear, please retire." Zhou Xing helped Liu Chaoyan stand up, and the two of them left Ganquan Palace one after another.
On the way back to the palace, Liu Chaoyan's tears fell bit by bit. Seeing her crying so sadly, Zhou Xing stepped forward and hugged her into his arms: "It's my fault that I have wronged you." p>
"What's wrong with Brother A Xing? It's just that he's so good. There are so many women he cares about. Brother A Xing said he would like me forever, but on the first day of our wedding, I became the joke of the entire palace..." Liu Chaoyan said.
, burst into tears in Zhou Xing’s arms.
Only from an angle that Zhou Xing couldn't see, a coldness flashed in her eyes.
Seeing her crying sadly, Zhou Xing felt depressed: "Don't take what my mother and concubine said to heart. No matter what, you are still the princess. When I return to the palace later, I will leave the palace's funds to you to manage."<
/p>
Liu Chaoyan's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. You are the Princess of Qin, so the palace's middle-income family should naturally be handed over to you." Zhou Xing said categorically.
Liu Chaoyan felt more at ease now.
She has the power to manage the palace's middle ministers. Isn't it easy to control those charming people in the palace?
She didn't expect that what happened in Prince Qin's Mansion last night would spread to everyone in just one morning.
People all over the capital were talking about the fact that Zhou Xing was snatched away by a concubine last night and she was left alone to guard the empty room.
Many people are saying that this is retribution.
Liu Chaoyan snatched the Prince of Qin's marriage from Gu Xiyan, and now that she is marrying into the Prince of Qin's palace, he is also snatched away from the Prince of Qin by another woman. It is a cycle of cause and effect.
