The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

The news of Mingjin and Gu Mingheng's granted marriage soon spread throughout the capital.

In less than a day, all the prominent families in the capital knew about this matter.

No one expected that this girl who had been displaced for ten years and was even thought dead by her own family would have such an adventure.

She was first conferred the title of princess, and then she established the Ciji Hall, which won praise from the emperor, empress and a group of ministers. The people outside even regarded her as a living Bodhisattva, and now she was even granted marriage to the King of Chang'an.

For a while.

There was a lot of discussion outside.

Except for a few people who spoke sourly out of jealousy, most people were obviously more envious than jealous, and most of them just wanted to make friends with Mingjin.

If a person is just starting out.

When the situation was not that high, people naturally said all kinds of things.

If this person was a bad person at first but is good now, I am afraid that most people will still say sour words and gossip about him behind his back.

But if this situation has reached a point that they cannot reach, then all those sour words will turn into envy.

When Mingjin just came back.

Most of these aristocratic families viewed her with curiosity, or even ridicule.

They really wanted to see what would become of this daughter of a marquis who had been away from home for ten years after experiencing ten years of hardship and suffering.

Of course, there were people who sent messages, but they all did so with the intention of watching the fun.

Unexpectedly, although she seldom appears in public, every time her name appears, a miracle happens.

It has been less than half a year since she came back.

But his experience is enough to make people amazed and shocked.

She was the first princess in Daqian to enjoy a fief, and also the first extraordinary woman to be praised by the emperor and empress for her good deeds and to receive the emperor's promise.

Now she is going to marry King Chang'an.

Everyone went from looking down on him and being jealous of him in the beginning to gradually turning to admiration and envy of him, and now, they just want to make friends with him and build good relationships with him.

Even if you can't make friends with them, don't make enemies with them.

This is the mentality of these people today.

In the past few days, messages have been sent to Mingjin's house like snowflakes, as if they were free of charge.

This is also the attitude expressed by the major families.

This time is different from the previous time when Mingjin was conferred the title of princess and opened a Tzu Chi Hall.

She is now half a member of the royal family, and is married to the powerful Prince Chang'an.

Although I know Mingjin doesn't like attending parties, I still have to pretend to be there.

Mingjin has been very busy these days because of this reason.

She didn't want to get married before, and as a lady in the inner house, she naturally didn't need to deal with these matters.

If you don't want to go, just decline.

After all, given her status at that time, the elders would not invite her alone, and the ladies of her age in the inner house did not have the qualifications and status to force her to go.

If she didn't want to go, she didn't go. She was happy and relaxed.

It's different now.

Whether for Gu Mingheng or for herself, the identities of those who send invitations now are no longer comparable to those in the past.

The ladies of various aristocratic families, royal relatives... and some old ladies of noble status.

They all sent a lot of generous gifts and invitations.

And Mingjin now represents more than just herself.

And there is Gu Mingheng.

Naturally, she had to handle these matters more carefully to avoid being criticized.

Fortunately, although she didn't like dealing with these things, she had experience after all, and she handled them in an orderly manner.

She had the invitations and gifts sent by each family divided into several batches according to their relationship and status.

And asked everyone to register.

Although she didn't have to show up, she still had to return the gifts from each family.

For some people of high status, she had to reply personally to express her gratitude, so as to avoid being considered arrogant by others.

Mingjin has been dealing with these matters at home these days. At the beginning, he also went to the palace and had dinner with Gu Mingheng.

Then there was no time.

Fortunately, the injuries Gu Mingheng suffered in Mingyue Tower have finally healed.

When Mingjin could not go to the prince's palace, he would come to the princess's mansion to accompany Mingjin and help her deal with these trivial matters.

"If you don't like it, I'll go back and tell them directly to stop sending things to your house."

Gu Mingheng felt extremely distressed when he saw Mingjin, who was so busy taking care of all these things that he had lost weight.

He also doesn't like dealing with these things, and rarely attends banquets hosted by others.

Although the palace also accepts gifts, not everyone dares to give them.

Besides, there is no need for him to be involved in these matters, as Eunuch An will handle them for him.

When Ming Jin heard this, he looked at him helplessly and said, "If you say that, people will start gossiping again."

"Just say it, it won't reach your ears."

At this time, Gu Mingheng looked a bit like a member of the royal family.

The royal nobles have always been praised by others.

Why bother to care what others think?

Besides, compared to those discussions, he naturally felt more sorry for Ming Jin.

He also knew that Ming Jin did all this in order to be a better princess to him and avoid being criticized by others.

That's why he felt even more distressed.

"It's not much, just reply and it will be fine." Ming Jin didn't agree in the end.

What would it look like if this were to get out?

I'm afraid even the two people in the palace would have something against her.

"It's just a little bit lively at the beginning, but it will be fine after a few days. If you're bored, go read a book."

It is impossible for her to receive posts all day long.

In the past two days, the number of posts has obviously been gradually decreasing.

After she finished speaking, she turned back and prepared to continue replying.

Gu Mingheng looked at her like this and sighed silently.

Of course, he couldn't leave Mingjin behind to read.

He reached out and rubbed Mingjin's hands, which were so sore from writing a thank you letter: "Let me do it, you go and rest."

As he spoke, he took the green-tube pen for replying from Mingjin's other hand.

Ming Jin heard this.

He couldn't help but look back at Gu Mingheng.

Seeing that Gu Mingheng actually replied to her message after he took away the pen, she knew that he was serious. She raised her eyebrows but did not refuse.

She sat aside to rest and took a sip of the teacup.

Without having to write, Mingjin felt much more relaxed. While watching Mingheng's reply, she thought of the imperial edict sent by the Queen Mother today.

"The Queen Mother asked us to come to the palace for dinner tomorrow." She chatted with Gu Mingheng about family matters.

"Ah."

Gu Mingheng also received the oral message from the imperial sister-in-law. While replying to the letter, he talked to Mingjin: "My royal brother has not eaten or drunk well these days because of the incident at Mingyue Tower. He has not slept well at night. The imperial sister-in-law thought of letting us go to the palace to have a meal together, so as to make my royal brother happy."

After the marriage decree came down, he had not entered the palace.

The last time he met his brother, he made him angry, and Gu Mingheng felt that he shouldn't have done that.

Even without the emperor's sister-in-law's oral order, he would go to the palace to visit his brother in the next few days.

Mingjin also guessed it.

But after hearing him talk about Mingyue Tower, Ming Jin remained silent for a moment. She asked, "Master Yuan, have you not found anything yet?"

Although Gu Mingheng listened to Mingjin, he didn't care about this matter.

But privately, he also asked Wu Ji and others to investigate to see if they could find any clues.

He also sent people to follow the fourth brother.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

There is no problem with either the fourth brother's side or the pillars of Mingyue Tower.

However, the rumors outside have been getting louder and louder these days.

The people of the East Palace and the third brother's faction have been holding grudges for a long time. Now the third brother is still locked up in the prince's mansion to reflect on his mistakes. Naturally, people in their faction are unwilling to see anything happen to him, so some of them took the opportunity to make random accusations against Cheng Qian.

Cheng Qian was originally the person in charge of thoroughly investigating Mingyue Tower, but now he has been relieved of his duties by his brother the Emperor to avoid suspicion. This matter has now been completely handed over to Yuan Yu and Xu Sining to handle. Because of the relationship between the Yuan family and the prince, people from the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate have been asked to conduct a thorough investigation together.

My brother has been unable to eat these days, and this may be the reason.

He was also worried that this was a man-made disaster and was related to his sons.

When Gu Mingheng thought of this, he stopped writing his reply.

Until his arm was held down by a white, soft hand, Gu Mingheng turned around and saw Mingjin looking at him.

Eyes facing each other.

A gentle smile appeared on Gu Mingheng's face again.

He patted the back of Mingjin's hand to comfort her, and also to comfort himself: "Don't worry, we will find out."

Mingjin nodded softly.

Gu Mingheng replied again, and Mingjin was grinding on the side, occasionally handing over some snacks of dried fruits, which Gu Mingheng ate.

After a while.

I have almost finished replying to the post.

Aunt Pei suddenly said softly from outside: "Princess."

She didn't come in.

"What's wrong?" Ming Jin asked her.

Aunt Pei replied from outside: "Miss Zhao from Jining Prefecture and Miss Lu from Hejian Prefecture are here to see you."

When Ming Jin heard the names of these two people, he immediately sat up straight.

She has been so busy lately that she forgot to ask how they are doing.

Now that they came to the house to see her, Ming Jin naturally could not neglect them, and hurriedly asked Aunt Pei to invite them to sit in the flower hall first. She glanced at Gu Mingheng beside her, and saw that he was very calm and was still replying to the messages seriously, and did not get involved in this matter.

When he saw her looking over there from the corner of his eye, he thought she was in a difficult situation.

He was not shy at all, and said to Ming Jin with a smile: "You go and entertain them, I'll wait for you here, if you get bored, just find a book to read, don't worry about me."

Mingjin was not troubled by this.

Gu Mingheng is so annoying. He doesn't seem to be aware of the trouble he caused. He even looks so relaxed and complacent. It's really hateful.

Ming Jin couldn't help it and suddenly reached out and twisted his arm.

But her strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and it didn't hurt Gu Mingheng at all.

But Mingjin didn't do that to make him feel pain.

Although Gu Mingheng didn't feel any pain, he realized that something was wrong with Mingjin.

After a little thought, he realized it.

Gu Mingheng immediately put down the green-tube rabbit-hair brush in his hand. Fearing that Mingjin might misunderstand, he held her hand and explained, "Don't think too much. I haven't even met these two girls."

Ming Jin looked at him, speechless: "It's not because of this."

She was not so petty as to get angry and jealous with Gu Mingheng over these things.

Gu Mingheng felt even more surprised when he heard her say this.

He also thought that Yanyan was unhappy because he was almost going to meet these two girls.

Unexpectedly, it was not.

He thought hard but couldn't figure it out for a while.

But although he had never been with a woman before, many of his friends were married and had children.
