Donggong Zhangjiao

On the day when the marriage decree came down, the two of them were very happy.

The wedding was scheduled for March of the following year.

Fang Yun sent someone to check Gu Changlin's background carefully, and he was indeed a good one.

The back house is clean and there are no girls in the house.

It is not unusual for young men from high-ranking families to have two maids waiting on the bed beside them. These maids of the first-in-law have no status, and everyone agrees that they should not be counted. As long as the wife does not take a concubine before entering the house, she is abiding by the rules. of.

The world is like this. Although it is unfair to women, no one can change it by one person.

However, there are also people who are more sophisticated, like Gu Changlin, who did not have a maid before getting married.

This is considered cleansing oneself.

Moreover, Gu Changlin is indeed quite down-to-earth. At these times, he does one thing silently and slowly opens the door to the second princess's heart.

Most importantly, the second princess is very happy.

The child is happy and the person chosen is good, so Fang Yun is naturally happy too.

After the imperial edict granting the marriage was issued, he began to personally prepare the dowry for the second princess.

When a woman gets married, she has to embroider her wedding dress herself.

However, the princess naturally had someone to help her, so she did not need to embroider every stitch. However, Fang Yun still asked the needlework bureau to leave the most important part of the pattern on the wedding dress to her.

The second princess was so moved that Fang Yun embroidered her wedding dress, and she stayed beside him, extremely sticky.

Fang Yun was pleased and wanted to laugh, so he just kicked her out and told her to play by herself.

This woman will be subject to more restrictions when she gets married. Before leaving the court, she should be more relaxed.

When I think that the daughter I raised with my own hands is about to get married, I feel a little reluctant to bear it.

In March of the following year, the second princess got married.

When the fourth prince got married, he personally carried his sister to the sedan chair.

Looking at the cheerful Gu Changlin, the fourth prince was also unceremonious.

"Gu is such a sister. If you dare to treat her badly, Gu will definitely not let you go."

"Your Highness, Wei Chen only has one wife, the princess, in this life, and Wei Chen will definitely protect her with his life!"

Gu Changlin solemnly handed over his hand.

Seeing that he was sincere, the fourth prince smiled and said congratulations.

On the wedding night, the newlyweds' faces glowed red under the light of red candles.

The days after marriage are naturally sweet.

As long as it is Xiu Mu, Gu Changlin will definitely stay with the second princess.

Gu Changlin knew all the shops large and small in Beijing, whether they were selling clothes, jewelry, rouge or delicacies.

The second princess likes the clothing materials from Jinnifang, the jewelry from Zhijin Pavilion, the rouge from Drunken Hibiscus, the lotus seed cake from Wanhe Building, and the soy sauce beef from Guyueju.

All these things are kept in mind.

Whenever he returns home from a business trip, he will bring a little surprise for the second princess.

With such sweetness, the second princess became pregnant the year after the two got married.

It was fine at first, but from the second month of pregnancy, morning sickness started to plague me.

I thought it would be cured after three months, but I didn't expect that the second princess' vomiting showed no sign of relief.

The vomiting was severe, but I couldn't eat it at all. Whether it was meat or vegetable dishes, I felt like vomiting just looking at them, so I could only eat something without oil.

White flour steamed buns or water noodles, and some fruit.

Those dried fruit preserves and the like that can relieve morning sickness are of no use at all and cannot be eaten at all.

Seeing someone losing weight despite being pregnant, Gu Changlin was so anxious that he couldn't eat or drink. There were blisters on his mouth, and he lost a lot of weight.

In the palace, Fang Yun and Pei Yao were also worried and sent several imperial doctors out to take a look, but nothing could be done.

This physical issue is really different for everyone. Some people never vomit, and some people still vomit until they are alive.

But it was impossible for the second princess not to eat. She had to find ways to coax her to eat more.

The fourth prince hired two cooks from outside and sent them to the princess's house, but they actually came up with two new dishes for the second princess to eat.

But a new problem came again. The second princess would often eat it all at one meal, but when the same dish was served at the next meal, she felt like vomiting again after smelling it.

Gu Changlin thought about it and decided to cook it himself.

This is really not easy for him.

With his background, how could he ever cook?

Everything is learned from scratch.

When I was resting, I would go to the dining room to learn from the cook every day after my shift.

The cook must be able to understand the needs of the diners so that the dishes he cooks will suit the appetite. Gu Changlin is naturally the person who knows the second princess best in the house.

So it didn't take long for the second princess to discover that one or two of the dishes served every day were to her liking.

Being pregnant and unable to eat, she suffered more than anyone else. Now that she can eat well, her mood has improved.

Because of this, the second princess found that Gu Changlin spent less time with her every day.

I used to be by her side whenever I had free time.

The second princess couldn't help but asked, and the people in the mansion quickly called in, saying that the prince-in-law was studying new dishes in the dining room.

The second princess was stunned, she really didn't believe it.

So I decided to go see it for myself.

When she saw Gu Changlin wearing an apron and working in front of the stove, her eyes turned red for a moment.

"Xinwan, why are you here!"

Gu Changlin turned around and saw the second princess and hurried over.

After taking two steps, he was afraid that the smell of oil fumes would make the second princess uncomfortable, so he stopped two steps away.

"Why are you cooking by yourself? I didn't know you could cook." The second princess teased with tears in her eyes.

Gu Changlin also laughed, "You can't just study. You and your children can't eat well, and I can't sleep well in the dormitory. Are you hungry? Go back and wait. I'll make two dishes and they'll be here soon."

The second princess nodded, raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and was helped away by the maid.

After the dishes were ready, Gu Changlin quickly washed them and changed his clothes before returning to eat with the second princess.

And since this incident, Prince Consort Gu has been cooking for the rest of his life.

Whenever the second princess loses her appetite, she will cook some dishes for her. Usually when the second princess is greedy, she will go without saying a word.

Sometimes the second princess teases her, saying that the prince-in-law will become a cook, and if he opens a restaurant in the future, the business will definitely be good.

"I learned this skill for you, so naturally I only cook it for you to eat." Gu Changlin still said little and only served the second princess with vegetables, with a slight smile on his face.

Time passed by, and the two of them grew old together supporting each other.

In her later years, the second princess suddenly asked how Gu Changlin fell in love with her.

Gu Changlin recalled the past, and his eyes seemed to have the light of his youth again.

He said that during the autumn hunting that year, the second princess, dressed in red and riding an angry horse, drew a bow and shot at a deer. She was so vivid and bright, like a raging fire, which burned into his heart.

At the fireworks show that year, he heard from Wei Zhiyu that Princess Jingyi and the second princess were also there, so he went to join in the fun.

Normally, Gu Changlin would not go to such a crowded place.

Unexpectedly, it was only after going to the fireworks show and saving the child who fell into the water that he really got acquainted with the second princess.

"I am a clumsy-tongued person, and I have never said much my whole life." Gu Changlin held the second princess's hand, "Don't think that I am clumsy-tongued."

The second princess smiled, "I don't like people who talk sweetly."

Doing more than talking is the only way to be truly down-to-earth. (End of chapter)
