The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

My grandmother once said that when what you have does not match your ability, you should know how to hide your shortcomings.

When your abilities are recognized and admired by others, what you have will not only not bring you trouble, but on the contrary, they will become your support and the most solid foundation on your road to success.

It is time to let people know who are the owners behind the Zheng family’s unknown industries.

What Concubine Jing relies on is nothing more than the Zhou family's financial support. In the past, her grandmother's methods were relatively gentle, but now her eldest cousin is gradually taking over the family business.

The business empire is constantly expanding, and the Zhou family is the first to be hit.

Gu Jinchu only said a simple sentence, but Concubine Shu understood the meaning behind it.

She said to the silent eldest princess, "My grandparents' hot pot restaurant will open soon. My cousin will reserve a room for me. If you have nothing to do, how about we go together?"

Zhao Xuan's eyes lit up. "It's settled then. Sister Chu will have someone go to the Princess's Mansion to send me an invitation. I've been so idle lately that I'm going crazy!"

Concubine Shu coughed lightly at the side and said, "What do you mean by Chu Jie'er? You have no respect for your elders or younger brothers."

Gu Jinchu felt a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister."

The eldest princess called out "Aunt" softly. She really found it hard to adapt.

Concubine Shu took Gu Jinchu's hand, took off the gold and jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on her hand, "It's just a change of title, it will enhance the friendship between you two in the boudoir."

Gu Jinchu stood up and bent his body, then sat down and replied with a smile, "Thank you, elder sister."

"Ever since you and my fifth brother came in, I felt that this bracelet would suit your outfit today." Concubine Shu patted Gu Jinchu's hand and looked her up and down, making Gu Jinchu feel her kindness.

They now share the same fate, which is why Gu Jinchu is dressed like this today.

In her previous life, she wore a bright red wedding dress and followed Jiang Nansheng into the palace to express her gratitude.

Just like today, I met Concubine Jing in Kunning Palace.

In this palace, except for the Empress, no concubine has the right to wear red. This applies to the wife, the main wife, the concubines, and the maids.

Concubine Jing was an unabashedly jealous woman, not only making the scene unhappy, but also causing Concubine Shu to have some misunderstandings about her.

She came from a merchant family, so naturally everything she did and said was to maximize her profits.

Which emperor doesn't want to inherit the throne and prosper the country?

Every emperor wished to be blessed with eternal life and live as long as the heavens, not to mention Emperor Jianyuan's obsession with seeking the truth.

Her marriage to Jiang Nansheng was equivalent to a marriage between the Jiang and Zheng families, and she also took this opportunity to show her loyalty.

Only when the emperor is happy and relieved will the Jiang and Zheng families continue to enjoy great favors.

The most direct beneficiary was Concubine Shu in the deep palace.

The eldest princess leaned forward and said confidently, "Mother, you are biased. I remember when I was a child, you wouldn't let me touch this pair of gold and jade bracelets."

The smile on Concubine Shu's beautiful face deepened, and she tapped her forehead and said:

"When you were little, you were like a naughty monkey. Ever since you broke countless of my jade bracelets, Yingqiu would be terrified every time you came to play with the dressing box."

Looking at Gu Jinchu beside him, he continued softly, "I don't know who this child looks like. My fifth brother and I were not so naughty when we were young."

His eyes seemed to be lost in memories, and there was a hint of pity in them, "Especially my fifth brother, who has been studying very hard at such a young age. He would not give up easily even if his fingers bled in order to learn swordsmanship well..."

In the previous life, Old Madam Jiang also talked about Jiang Nansheng’s childhood. The different angle also allowed her to see a different Jiang Nansheng.

His brothers were much older than him, so his only playmate was Zhou Boyan, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Just as they were talking about the two of them drinking the Duke's collection of wine, a eunuch's voice came from outside the hall, saying that Jiang Nansheng had arrived.

He stepped through the door, and the sunlight outside splashed on his shoulders, as if bringing a layer of gorgeous light, making his every step bloom and his temperament noble.

When Concubine Shu saw her brother coming in and looking at Gu Jinchu, she joked, "Why, can your sister-in-law be wronged by me? Why are you rushing to find me?"

Jiang Nansheng bowed and saluted, "Elder sister." Standing beside Gu Jinchu, he took her hand and continued, "It's the eldest prince who came to look for His Majesty."

This way he couldn't stay in the imperial study any longer.

When Gu Jinchu heard him mention the eldest prince, he remembered that it was around this time that the eldest prince had been bedridden and would pass away soon.

Judging from the expressions of the Emperor and Empress today, the eldest prince is in good health.

After coming out of the palace, Gu Jinchu was still thinking about this matter.

Sanjiang Fort has been invaded by wars many times, so there are no rare and precious medicines there.

Seeing her hanging her head and not saying anything, Jiang Nansheng stroked her hair and said with a smile, "I just met Lord Zheng. He comes to the palace every day to teach the princes Japanese language."

"His experience of traveling around the world over the years has not only interested His Majesty, but also filled the princes with curiosity. His Majesty respects him very much..."

Gu Jinchu immediately understood the deep meaning of Emperor Jianyuan’s words today.

The Lord Zheng he mentioned was his third cousin Zheng Kaicheng.

There were some doubts in his heart, but it was not convenient to ask at this time, so he raised his wrist and said with a smile: "The queen just gave it to me."

Her wrists were slender beneath her sleeves, and the jade bracelet made her skin look even whiter and softer.

Jiang Nansheng looked at her eyes that were as bright as stars, and couldn't help but say: "Jin Chu, grow up quickly..."

He couldn't wait to see their children. Their daughter would definitely be a smart, brave and energetic girl.

Gu Jinchu was stunned.

She has already reached the age of marriage and is a married woman, how else can she grow up?

Suddenly, she thought of those words he whispered in her ear in the morning when he hugged her from behind and they were passionate.

Why did this person suddenly talk about children... I couldn't help but put my hand on my lower abdomen.

Seeing Gu Jinchu's face suddenly turn pale, Jiang Nansheng held her on his lap and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Gu Jinchu raised her hands and hugged his neck, put her face against his neck and shook her head, whispering: "Maybe I was too nervous about entering the palace today."

Jiang Nansheng frowned slightly, realizing that every time she talked about children, her attitude would be more or less strange.

Even though she tried her best to hide it, people would still notice that something was wrong with her and raise their hands to pat her on the back to comfort her.

After returning to Duke Dingguo's Mansion, they first went to Minghui Hall to report to the old lady, and then the two of them returned to Yuanyuan Hall together.

The two men returned with rewards from the emperor in the palace and the concubines in the harem.

In the courtyard, Mother Xu was leading people to gather and register, when a woman who looked like a housekeeper appeared at the hanging flower gate.
