Chapter 344 - Chapter 344 Chapter 344 The Suffering Wife vs. The Mistress

Chapter 344: Chapter 344: The Suffering Wife vs. The Mistress (Part Thirty) Chapter 344: Chapter 344: The Suffering Wife vs. The Mistress (Part Thirty) The Grand Princess and Lady Meng left, giving Gu Shengyin ample time to come to terms with the situation.

In their hearts, this matter was not unacceptable; looking across the court, any family that could produce an Empress would surely be overjoyed.

The Imperial decree from the palace came swiftly, accompanied by the gifts from the Empress Dowager.

On the road from the Imperial Palace to the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, the procession of treasures being carried into the mansion astonished onlookers.

Even Lady Meng exclaimed, “Could it be that they’ve emptied the treasury of treasures?”

The Grand Princess revealed a smile, knowing that the generosity of the Imperial gifts directly symbolized the satisfaction with Yuer.

Moreover, such lavish gifts would not be possible without the Emperor’s directive.

This indicated that the Emperor was pleased with their Yuer, which comforted the Grand Princess greatly.

The Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion had not anticipated these developments.

When Qin Yuanzheng heard the news, he felt somewhat wistful.

He remembered the woman he met at Songlin Residence, her clear, piercing eyes seemed to see into one’s heart, and recalled the girl at the Autumn Hunting Grounds, her fiery, bright eyes dazzling.

She should have been his wife, but…

But what? Some things he was not even clear about himself.

The Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion also received a decree, in which His Majesty bestowed marriage between Qin Yuanzheng and Zhang Mingshu.

Qin Yuanzheng thought he would be ecstatic, yet when he received the decree, he found that he was not as delighted as he had imagined and even felt bewildered.

Wasn’t this what he had always pursued?

The happiest in the entire Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion was the Princess Consort, who always hoped her son would marry a daughter-in-law who was close and obedient to her, and her own niece Zhang Mingshu was undoubtedly a perfect choice.

Zhang Mingshu was soon brought back to the mansion by the Princess Consort.

When she learned of the decree, she initially thought it was her cousin who had pleaded with the Emperor; she became even more devoted to Qin Yuanzheng.

“Cousin…” The girl in front of him had bright eyes and a picturesque face, filled with love for him; this was the woman he had always loved and wanted to marry.

Qin Yuanzheng silently told himself, steadied his spirit, and showed Zhang Mingshu a tender smile.

Gu Shengyin was confined at home by the Grand Princess Ronghua. The etiquette training at the Liang Residence was certainly top-notch, but if his granddaughter was to enter the Imperial Palace, it was still somewhat insufficient.

Gu Shengyin began her daily lessons in various etiquettes.

Fortunately, she had some background from her previous life, and this body had received top-notch upbringing since childhood; she found learning not to be too difficult. Even the nannies sent from the palace could not help but inwardly praise the future Empress for her impeccable manners and poise.

The only disadvantage was that she could no longer go out as she pleased.

However, although she could not leave the house, the one who suffered the most was not Gu Shengyin, but a certain Emperor deep within the palace.

Could it be that he would not see his little junior sister for nearly a year?

Qin Shao found it unbearable.

So, under the Empress Dowager’s directive, the nobles of Qi Country began to host various banquets.

There were flower appreciation banquets, poetry gatherings for the young ladies, various birthday celebrations, and so forth, and the Liang Residence naturally received invitations.
