The most pitiable thing about a poor person is that she doesn't even know she is pitiful.

When the marriage decree reached Gu Qing's palace, Wanchun happily tried on new clothes in the bedroom of Xingqing Palace.

She put on new clothes one after another and tried on one set after another. The floor next to the bronze mirror was full of clothes that she rejected, but she was never tired and had a great time trying on new clothes.

"Fu'e, this jade belt is too ugly. It's too ugly. It doesn't match this black dress at all. Go and throw it away. I will be disgusted when I see it."

"Wu'e, who made this dress? The whole family should be dragged out and beaten with sticks. Why do such ugly clothes appear in my bedroom?"

"Fu'e, this dress is barely acceptable. The embroiderer who made it can be rewarded with two coins..."

Wan Chun stretched out his hands in front of the bronze mirror, posing in a charming pose, and stared at himself in the mirror.

In the mirror, her face is rosy and her eyes are shining, reflecting her longing for future life. She is like a believer who has made a private wish in front of the Buddha. When she turns around, she is full of confidence.

Fu'e knew why she was so happy, because the imperial edict conferring marriage had been sent to Gu Qing's palace, and she heard that Gu Qing had accepted the edict.

But Fu'e was not happy.

She is already in her thirties and is an old palace maid. She vaguely heard the palace people talk about the current situation in the court, and she also knew that behind this seemingly beautiful marriage, there were actually too many dark profit plans.

Everyone knew that Wanchun was a bright chess piece. She only played a role in temporarily alleviating the delay. But Wanchun didn't know. She was as happy as a child and kept trying on clothes early in the morning. She thought

She appeared in Gu Qing's palace in her most beautiful appearance, just like how she said goodbye to Gu Qing at the intersection when he went to the Anxi Protector's Palace.

In addition to her flawless appearance, she is clumsy and doesn't know how to please a man's heart.

"Your Highness, did the marriage decree say that His Highness Shangyu Gu's identity as Prince Gu? Is he the principal member of the Prince's family?" Fu'e couldn't help but ask.

Wan Chun stared at the bronze mirror, still trying on his new clothes, his light figure twisting in front of the mirror.

"Does it matter whether you are married or not?" Wan Chun said calmly.

Fu'e took a step forward and said in a more serious tone: "It's important. Your Highness is a princess and the emperor's sister. No matter who you marry, you should be held high. Even your husband must treat Your Highness as a monarch and a minister."

"

Wan Chun curled his lips and said: "If I only want the position of the main wife, why should I marry Gu Qing? Who is the most talented person in the world that I cannot marry?"

Fu'e said anxiously: "But Your Highness, there is already a royal wife in Gu Qing's family. When the princess gets married, she can only act as a concubine and live in a golden state. How can Gu Qing treat you so slowly? This is not an ordinary garden banquet. You can sit wherever you are.

But for a while, you have to live with Gu Qing for the rest of your life, are you going to have to be a concubine for the rest of your life?"

Wan Chun sighed: "You guys are so worried about your wife and concubines. Since you have made up your mind to live with him for the rest of your life, why do you care about your status?"

Fu'e sighed in a low voice: "Your Highness, what are you doing for..."

"I'm looking for a single person, and I'm looking for a white date." Wan Chun raised his little face, his eyes bright with hope.

Fu'e was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, someone in the palace said that the emperor's marriage was to use your highness as a pawn. Sooner or later, the emperor and Gu Qing will have their swords against each other. I am very worried about you. If there is a day when the swords are against each other.

, Your Highness, why do you think so?"

The light in Wan Chun's eyes gradually dimmed, and he lowered his head and pursed his lips in silence.

Fu'e hesitated for a long time, then she mustered up her courage and said: "Your Highness, I think it is better to refuse this proposed marriage. At this time of conflict between kings and ministers, it is really not appropriate for Your Highness to get involved. Even if you want to get married, you have to wait until they decide the winner...

…”

Wan Chun shook his head: "It is precisely because the king and his ministers are fighting each other that I have to get involved. With me here, I can at least mediate in the middle. I am a daughter of the Heavenly Family and a caring wife. No matter who wins or loses, I should try my best to protect the loser."

Otherwise, save his life."

Fu'e was stunned. She didn't expect Wan Chun to have such a plan.

That little girl who was jumping around has now grown up and she has taken on responsibilities.

But, can she afford it?

The court is like a tiger, and many famous ministers and generals have fallen into the dust in front of this invisible tiger. She is just a female who is used as a pawn. How can she mediate in the fight between two men who stand at the top of the world?

Fu'e didn't understand, she was just a palace maid.

Sighing helplessly, Fu'e said: "His Highness is happy, and the servants are also happy. Someone has just come to the palace. The Superintendent of the Taishi Bureau has set an auspicious day for the second day of next month. The emperor said that he will marry His Highness into the Gu family in a glorious way.

The scene and etiquette are more grand than when Gu Qing marries his wife..."

Wan Chun frowned: "Why should it be solemn? Is there any point in fighting for these unnecessary ostentation? I just need a soft sedan to carry me in as a concubine. The ostentation is too extravagant and looks domineering. I have married the main wife before I even entered the door.

By getting rid of the grudge, the Tian family has gained face, but can you teach me how to live in the Gu family's house in this life?"

Fu'e said reluctantly: "Your Highness is a princess, so it is normal to have a more grand ceremony. It is also the rule of the Tian family to marry a daughter, and the rules are inevitable."

Wanchun's pretty face turned cold: "Send someone to tell the emperor that etiquette does not need to be extravagant. If he refuses to agree, I will not marry. I am willing to be a chess piece, but you have to listen to me on this matter."

Seeing that Fu'e was still unwilling and wanted to say something else, Wan Chun said angrily: "Go quickly!"

Wu'e left helplessly.

The huge dormitory suddenly became quiet. Wanchun stood alone in front of the bronze mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he quietly shed tears.

In fact, this kind of love is not what she wants at all. Her heart is pure, but it is stained by the world.

But she still chose to compromise. Even if it is the light of a firefly, it is also hope in the darkness.

Humble as dust, born toward the sun.

…………

Feng Yu was going crazy.

After returning to Chang'an, he moved into Gu Qing's palace. Li Jianjiu took care of him day and night. Duan Wuji visited him every day and Gu Qing often chatted with him.

The days of recuperation are quite pleasant, and it would be even more perfect if there was no woman like Zhang Huaijin in the world.

Zhang Huaijin often ran to the palace, nominally to see her sister, but actually because of Sima Zhao's heart. A blind person could see that she was not here to see her sister at all. Every time she entered the palace, she would look for Gu Qing and follow Gu Qing around.

Long-winded and noisy, she can hold up half of Chang'an's Western Market alone.

Gu Qing was too busy, and there were many things waiting for him to deal with. Li Heng did something that shot himself in the foot. When he appointed Gu Qing as a minister, he imagined that he would use this method to remove Gu Qing's military power. Who knows that the military power was not removed?

But it was firmly in the hands of Gu Qing.

With the official position of Shangshuling, Gu Qing handled court affairs in a dignified manner. Today, the front yard of the county prince's palace has become a place for court meetings. Every day, countless courtiers come in carriages to discuss urgent government affairs from all over the Tang Dynasty.

He took it out to discuss with Gu Qing and asked for instructions before leaving.

Interestingly, when the state and county memorials and government affairs handled by Gu Qing were reported back to Li Heng, Li Heng mostly rejected them. Even though he knew that Gu Qing's handling method was very appropriate, Li Heng did not hesitate to reject it and insisted on it.

Have to deal with it in another way.

As a result, after Li Heng changed the handling methods, the courtiers went to Gu Qing again for instructions, and Gu Qing changed them back and implemented them accordingly.

Even a blind person could see that Li Heng and Gu Qing were competing with each other, but the courtiers caught in the middle were miserable. They felt like rats stuck in a bellows, running on both sides, with no human beings on either side.

Gu Qing also noticed something was wrong. Such a childish act by the central power center of the court was definitely not a good thing for the local government and the people.

But there seems to be some kind of unspoken tacit understanding between Li Heng and Gu Qing. This tacit understanding is like the wind in the building before the storm comes, and the tranquility contains earth-shattering changes.

Everyone is patiently waiting for the upcoming accident. After the accident, everything will change.

Gu Qing was too busy, so he had to ignore Zhang Huaijin.

Zhang Huaijin is an optimistic girl and very knowledgeable. When Gu Qing is busy, she stops bothering him and bothers others instead.

So Feng Yu, who was recovering from his injuries in the wing of the middle courtyard of the palace, was targeted by her.

The process of targeting was very simple, just because she glanced at him one more time in the crowd and confirmed her eyes, he was the person she wanted to hurt...

Spring is almost here, and the long-lost sun finally shows its head in the cold weather.

In such a good weather, Feng Yu was carried out of the wing by his servants and carried to the yard to bask in the sun under the cherry blossom tree. Li Jianjiu also carefully put a rug around his shoulders.

The sun is quiet and the years are gentle.

Feng Yu was bathing in the late winter sunshine, squinting his eyes comfortably and letting out a contented sigh.

It was at this moment that Zhang Huaijin appeared in front of him without anyone noticing.

"Are you Feng Yu?" Zhang Huaijin squatted not far from the yard and looked at him curiously.

Feng Yu opened his eyes and saw a little girl in front of him. She was young, with clear eyes and a clean smile on her face.

Feng Yu had never seen Zhang Huaijin, so he subconsciously handed over his hand and said, "That's right."

Li Jianjiu, who was standing behind Feng Yu, rolled his eyes towards the sky.

As a disciple of Li Twelve Niang, Li Jianjiu naturally recognized Zhang Huaijin. This girl was a frequent visitor to Li Twelve Niang's house, and she often tried to compete with Li Twelve Niang's female disciples over her own abilities. Every time

The opening line was "Three Hundred Rounds of War", which was full of arrogance.

Li Jianjiu was somewhat hostile to other women who were close to Feng Yu, but she was not hostile to Zhang Huaijin at all. She knew that Zhang Huaijin was about to marry Gu Qing.

Zhang Huaijin couldn't help but get excited when he saw that he had recognized the right person. He jumped in front of Feng Yu in a few steps, then circled around Feng Yu and looked at him, clicking his tongue.

"Brother Gu said that you are an amazing person, but I haven't seen you with three heads and six arms. What is so amazing about you?"

Hearing Zhang Huaijin call him "Brother Gu", Feng Yu knew that she must be related to Gu Qing, so he politely said: "May I ask the girl..."

Zhang Huaijin puffed up his chest and said proudly: "I am Gu Qing's soon-to-be wife."

Feng Yu was stunned: "Isn't Brother Gu's wife Sister Huaiyu?"

"Brother Gu is a hero of the world. How can a hero only have one wife? I am another wife. You can call me sister-in-law."
