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

Zhao Xuan wore a white Taoist robe with a sky-blue bodice on the outside, and her delicate and charming look revealed a heroic spirit.

Her face was ruddy, her forehead was slightly sweaty, and her whole body exuded a strong and vigorous vitality.

After entering the room, Zhao Xuan first greeted Old Madam Jiang: "Grandma." Then she turned around and greeted Wang and Gu Jinchu.

"Aunt, aunt."

When Gu Jin first came to Minghui Hall, he didn't see her and thought the eldest princess had returned to the Princess's Mansion. Looking at her current outfit, she looked like the Fifth Master Jiang every time he came back from morning exercise.

Madam Jiang took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off Zhao Xuan's forehead. She said with some disapproval, "You're about to get married, and you're still in such a hurry!"

Zhao Xuan picked up the teacup that Ruxia brought over, lowered her head and took two sips. After quenching her thirst, she replied:

"The set of boxing that I just performed at my grandfather's place was taught to my granddaughter by Kai Cheng. My grandfather was very pleased with it and said it was very beneficial for strengthening the body."

The eldest princess has loved martial arts since she was young, but has been suppressed over the years as she grew older.

Old Madam Jiang sometimes felt that she, as a mother and grandmother, were failures, as the younger generations around them always lived by suppressing their nature.

Zhao Xuan didn't notice her grandmother's mood, and asked Gu Jinchu with a smile: "Auntie and grandmother have something to discuss, am I disturbing you by coming back?"

Gu Jinchu shook his head. "Before Yongle came back, my sister-in-law asked me what dowry my aunt-in-law gave me when I got married."

The smile on Wang's face froze a little. The aunt-in-law mentioned by the fifth brother's wife was the future mother-in-law of the eldest princess.

Although he was wary of Gu Jinchu, he still smiled and said, "The aunt that my sister-in-law is talking about must be the mother of the Prince Consort. It's not a good idea to say these things in front of Yongle."

Gu Jinchu nodded in agreement with her words, "Sister-in-law is right."

But she continued, "My aunt said that she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zheng family and a role model for her brothers and sisters-in-law. She also wanted me to have confidence in my husband's family in the future, so she gave me a thick stack of silver bills as private money."

Zhao Xuan became interested when she heard this. She leaned her elbows on the table and looked at Gu Jinchu, asking her in a low voice, "Is the Madam an open-minded person?"

She had only met her future mother-in-law once, and now that the wedding date had been set, she began to feel nervous.

Gu Jinchu seemed not to notice the change in Wang's expression. He lowered his head and whispered to Zhao Xuan, "My uncle and aunt are the most gentle."

Zhao Xuan smiled. She knew about the situation of the Zheng family.

The eldest uncle of the Zheng family is in charge of the Zheng family’s shipping.

The dangers in the sea and lakes are not comparable to those on land, which shows how powerful Mr. Zheng is.

After Wang walked out of Minghui Hall, she realized that she had just been tricked by Gu Jinchu.

Those words were obviously meant for her.

What private property, what silver bills!

Does the eldest princess need the help of her sister-in-law from another room to arrange the dowry for the eldest princess?

When Wang returned to Songtao Garden, she saw Mother Zhang standing at the Chuihua Gate, looking at a loss.

She was already unhappy, and her expression became even more unhappy. She whispered, "What happened?"

Mother Zhang followed her master carefully and whispered, "To answer Madam, the prince has brought that little bitch back."

Wang walked towards the main hall. At first, she did not take Wang Mama's words to heart. She was thinking about what had just happened in Minghui Hall. She casually told her:

"The prince has only accepted a maid as his concubine. Remember to feed her contraceptive soup after serving her in bed. Keep an eye on her and don't let those little bitches succeed!"

Chen Ge'er is already three years old, and she doesn't want another evil kid to come out and cause trouble for her.

Mother Zhang frowned and whispered, "It's not a servant from Songtao Garden. It's Xia Nianyun. The prince brought Xia Nianyun back..."

Before she could finish her words, she was shocked by the look from the Crown Prince's wife. Wang's face was still gentle, but her voice was chilling. "Go on, what did you want to say just now?"

Mother Zhang shrank her neck and said, "That little bitch is pregnant and has been placed in the study by the prince..."

After hearing this, Wang's expression changed again and again, making her face a little distorted, "I know."

"It's better to keep her in the mansion than outside. After the eldest princess's wedding, let the Duke and his wife know about this." Wang looked in the direction of the study with a fierce look.

......

Master Jiang Wu has become increasingly busy in recent days.

When Gu Jinchu asked him about it, he just said that the court had changed and the new emperor had issued a general amnesty after ascending the throne, but many old cases in the past could not be closed so easily.

Gu Jinchu was worried about his health, so he asked the small kitchen to change the preparation methods every day to carefully prepare the food for Master Jiang Wu's dinner.

In the late stage of her pregnancy, her belly had begun to move downward, making it difficult for her to move.

Master Jiang Wu was well-treated, and he looked much stronger. After being injured while rescuing Emperor Jianming, his weakened body was completely restored.

This also makes the energetic Mr. Jiang Wu start his morning exercises a quarter of an hour earlier every day.

Sometimes when Gu Jinchu looked at him, his face would flush and his heart would beat fast.

After a few days, it was the day of the eldest princess' wedding to Zheng Kaicheng.

Madam Jiang had stayed at the Princess's residence last night. At dawn, the women in the family set out from the Duke Dingguo's residence.

Wang, Liu and Li were all dressed in their best.

Before leaving, Li smiled and said to Zhang, "Third sister-in-law, I have been grateful for your help these days. I will bring wedding candy to you and my fifth brother's wife when I come back."

Zhang nodded, expression calm, "I will do my best to fulfill my mother-in-law's orders."

Gu Jinchu stood beside Zhang and watched the green-curtained carriage in the mansion disappear into the blue-gray sky.

Now they are the only two pregnant women who cannot attend the eldest princess' wedding banquet.

After the carriage drove away, the entire Duke Dingguo's Mansion became much quieter.

Gu Jinchu said to Zhang: "If Third Sister-in-law feels bored, come to Yuanyuan Hall to talk to me."

This is how she usually gets by, but Zhang is different because her children are not with her right now.

Zhang smiled and said, "Fifth brother's wife may not understand. This will probably be one of the few and rare leisure time."

It can be seen that Zhang really likes to enjoy himself. There is a sense of ease and comfort in his words, and even a sense of humor that was not seen before.

Gu Jinchu didn't say anything else. When she woke up in the morning, she felt her stomach was tight, which made her tired from socializing.

When we returned to Yuanyuan Hall, the sky was bright and the morning light was like a golden veil, carrying a warm light that could awaken all things in the world.

Gu Jinchu sat on the big kang by the window in the west room. The warm sunlight shining on her body was very comfortable. She felt like going to the toilet, so she had to ask the servants to help her go to the toilet.

When she came out again, she glanced at the sky and told Bai Shao beside her, "I think mother will come today. When Jin prepares lunch, please make it according to mother's taste preferences."

Bai Shao agreed and left. Not long after, her voice came from the window, "Madam, it's Madam Qin who's here to accompany you."

Gu Jinchu looked out the window and saw that his mother, supported by the head maid, had already stepped onto the stone steps in front of the main hall door.

Gu Jinchu had a hunch that her mother would come to accompany her when the Jiang family went to attend the eldest princess' wedding banquet.

When she really saw her mother, she felt a completely different mood. She walked towards her mother and stretched out her hand.

"Mother, why are you here? Did Father send you here?"

Zheng Mudan held her daughter's arm, and the two of them sat together on the big kang near the window. She smiled and said, "Who was it that acted like a spoiled child and asked me to come and keep him company a few days ago?"

Gu Jinchu snuggled up to his mother, tilted his head and leaned on her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I just want my mother to be with me."

Zheng Mudan hugged her daughter and said softly, "You are going to be a mother soon, so you are not afraid of the children in your belly laughing at you."

After lunch, Zheng Mudan accompanied her daughter for a walk in the yard, but Gu Jinchu felt more and more uncomfortable in his stomach.
