Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

Yin Liuli secretly rolled her eyes at him, her face turning red.

She had never met anyone as shameless as Gu Jinyan.

If you're getting married, then you're getting married. Why are you making such a fuss about it all over the world?

The Empress chuckled at his cheeky antics.

"His Majesty has only bestowed upon Liuli the title of a princess of a different surname; it will not interfere with your marriage."

"Your Majesty, look at this child. Doesn't his reckless and unruly demeanor remind you just like Yi'er when she was little?"

The Emperor laughed heartily, then deliberately put on a stern face and scolded, "I've really spoiled you and your son rotten. Get up now!"

"Now that you say so, Your Majesty, I am relieved."

Gu Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief and obediently got up to stand next to Yin Liuli.

"Yin Liuli stepped forward to receive her title."

His Majesty, with a majestic and dignified countenance, proclaimed, "The eldest daughter of the Yin family, Liuli, is exceptionally intelligent and courageous, which pleases my heart. Therefore, I hereby bestow upon her the title of Princess Anle, an extraordinary honor."

He was granted a fief of a thousand households, an annual salary of a thousand bushels of grain, and a residence in the east of Zhuque Street. On the day of his marriage to Yan'er, he was to be married off with the rites due to a princess.

"Liuli, are you satisfied?"

The father-in-law, standing to the side, held the gifts high with both hands, and said with a look of surprise,

"Oh my, His Majesty's grace is boundless! He has bestowed upon her the title of Princess, along with a fief and annual stipend, and a mansion. This reward is comparable to that of a princess!"

This old servant congratulates Princess Anle! Princess, why don't you quickly express your gratitude?

A light shone in Gu Jinyan's deep eyes.

Yin Liuli stepped forward and kowtowed, a bright smile spreading across her face.

"Liuli thanks His Majesty for his great favor and Her Majesty the Empress for her grace. Liuli is very satisfied!"

She didn't care whether she became a princess or not.

She had no idea how valuable the fiefdom and annual stipend were.

But the Emperor bestowed upon her a house, which was exactly what she wanted!

She was thinking of buying a house the size and exquisite style of Gu Jinyan's villa, so she could move out with her mother.

"Father, Mother, I am tired..."

Cheng Yi could not hide his disappointment. He stood up in a daze and said, "Your subject will take his leave now."

She had no energy left to think about anything the Emperor had bestowed upon Yin Liuli.

Ever since Gu Fanghan risked her life to shield Sun Rong from the monk's staff, she felt as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out, leaving her feeling empty and miserable.

The man she loved with all her heart, the perfect husband in her heart, the prince consort who doted on her, the person she cherished most in her heart was not herself!

"Yi'er, you don't look well. Talk to your husband properly..."

The Empress glanced at her daughter with concern, then hesitated to speak.

The Emperor patted her hand and comforted her.

"Your Majesty, let her return to her residence. Let the young couple resolve their own affairs."

"Father, Mother, I take my leave."

Seeing Cheng Yi's haggard and forlorn face, Gu Fanghan felt a mix of emotions and said softly, "Ayi, let's go back to the manor."

Cheng Yi glanced at him expressionlessly and walked away on her own.

……

After leaving the palace, Yin Liuli first went back to the Yin Marquis's residence to tell her mother the good news of the Emperor's bestowal of a residence.

"Mother, we have our own house now! We'll move out of here tomorrow, and Liuli will live with you!"

Mrs. Zhen was so surprised that she could hardly believe her ears.

"Liuli, has His Majesty truly bestowed upon you the title of Princess Anle?"

Yin Liuli nodded.

"Yes, the imperial edict will arrive soon."

"To bestow the title of Princess of a different surname upon someone outside the imperial family—there is no one like it anywhere in the entire land!"

Granny Jin rubbed her hands together with great joy, saying repeatedly, "Our eldest daughter is truly capable! Madam, look, ever since she returned, everything in the house has been wonderful!"

"Back then, I don't know which bastard insisted that our eldest daughter was some kind of jinx, destined to bring misfortune to the whole family. Bah! That's utter nonsense!"

"Granny, look at you... Today is a joyous occasion, let's not talk about that."

Recalling the past, Zhen's eyes reddened involuntarily. Holding Yin Liuli's hand, she said, "By the way, Liuli, your wedding day with Prince Gu is less than seven days away. These past few days, your mother and the nanny have been rushing to make you a wedding dress. Wear it and let your mother see it."

Granny Jin said happily,

"Yes, yes, Madam worked tirelessly day and night to finish a set for you. This old servant will go and fetch it right away!"

"Mother, don't ruin your eyes. Getting married... what's the rush?"

Yin Liuli nestled her head on Zhen's shoulder, a warm feeling welling up inside her.

Having a mother is wonderful; a child with a mother is a treasure!

"Besides these, I don't know what else I can do for you."

Madam Zhen gently stroked her cheek, her tender eyes filled with both heartache and guilt, and slowly said,

"Don't go out these next few days. Ask Lord Zhou for leave, and I'll go with you to buy some dowry."

"You're about to get married. Besides the furniture your maternal grandmother left to your mother, there's not much else your mother can offer. I can't just let you..."

Yin Liuli shook her head. "As long as Liuli has her mother, that's enough."

"Madam is inside... Has Liuli returned?"

Before he finished speaking, Yin Jingtang craned his neck and peered into the room.

Zhen's smiling face instantly turned sour.

"If you have something to say, please say it outside. What are you doing coming into the room?"

"Guards, please invite the Marquis to take a seat outside."

Yin Jingtang felt dirty as soon as she stepped into Feng Qiwu's courtyard.

This is the confidence her daughter gives her.

"Uh... Liuli will be getting married in seven days, so I've prepared her dowry and sent it over to you and your daughter!"

Yin Jingtang smiled awkwardly, but instead of going out, he stepped inside and said to himself, "Come out and see if there's anything you want. Get it while you still can."

The main point is that as long as I don't feel awkward, it's you guys who will feel awkward.

Yin Liuli blinked. "The Marquis owes me a ten-mile-long dowry, is it ready already?"

"Cough cough..."

Using a cough to cover his guilt, Yin Jingtang said, "Where could we possibly gather everything all at once? If anything's missing later, Dad will just make up for it, won't he?"

Yin Liuli sneered.

"I'll cook for you when you're starving, okay?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you're just a kid!"

Yin Jingtang straightened his face, deliberately moved closer to Zhen Shi, and tried to make conversation.

"Madam... Fengyi looks radiant today, is there some good news?"

"Clatter"

Madam Zhen tossed the shoe she was embroidering onto the table, stood up with a look of disgust, and said, "Liuli, it's like nobody's talking in this room. We can't stay here any longer. Come with your mother for some fresh air!"

Yin Liuli gave a cold laugh without any politeness.

"Mother also smelled voices, and a foul stench?"

The mother and daughter walked past Yin Jingtang, threw down the curtain, and went outside.

Yin Jingtang inhaled the cold air, gritting his teeth until his cheekbones were hard.

Let you two be smug for a bit first!

If Yuzhu hadn't become unreliable, do you think I would have been willing to shamelessly come to your courtyard to curry favor?

Yuzhu is a fool too!

After devising such a elaborate scheme and finally managing to curry favor with Princess Chengyi, hoping to turn things around with her help, who would have thought it would all go wrong again!

That brat Yin Liuli is practically the nemesis of the Yin family!

Ever since she came back, she's brought misfortune to Yuzhu and him, turning the once peaceful Yinhou Mansion upside down.
