As the legitimate daughter of Duke Heng and the niece of the Queen Mother, Gu Ziyi was younger than her, so all the princes and princesses had to treat her as a cousin.
She had been raised under the Queen Mother's knees since she was a child and grew up with the princes and princesses. Her relationship was relatively harmonious, except that she did not get along with the cold and sinister Crown Prince.
She had never offended the prince, but he only listened to a joke she made when she was a child to show off her superiority to the prince's cousin.
At that time, she said to the prince's cousin: "It doesn't matter that you are the prince's cousin. Do you know that your prince's cousin calls me cousin in front of me so sweetly?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Ziyi turned around and saw the prince with a gloomy face and cold eyes standing behind her.
Gu Ziyi: ... Is it too late to reincarnate now?
At that time, the prince sneered coldly and looked down upon her from then on.
Gu Ziyi was trembling, fearing the prince's revenge. Her aunt had said that the prince held a grudge.
Later——
In the dragon and phoenix tent, the man took off her wedding dress with phoenix patterns and clouds. He bit his ear and whispered: "Is such strength good, cousin?"
Gu Ziyi: "..." My aunt is right, the prince really holds a grudge!
That day, Gu Ziyi's legs became weak after listening to "cousin" all night.

Everyone in the capital knew that the Gu family of Duke Heng seemed to be prominent, but in reality they were completely exhausted and could only be supported by the Queen Mother.
In order to continue the family's glory, the Queen Mother wants to give her stunning niece to the Prince, and wants the Gu family to have another queen.
But the queen also wanted to betroth her biological niece to the prince, and the whole palace was waiting to watch the show. Everyone knew who was more important and who had a better chance of winning.
Nowadays, the Queen Mother is not the Queen Mother, but the Queen is the Prince's biological mother. The Prince is naturally closer to his mother's family, not to mention that the Prince has always disliked meeting the Gu family member.
Everyone was waiting to see Gu Ziyi's joke. Unexpectedly, the prince later personally requested a decree from His Majesty, asking to marry the legitimate daughter of the Gu family. Everyone slapped their faces and tried to save their respect: The prince only cares about the queen mother's face!
Only the people in the East Palace knew how their aloof Crown Prince begged the Crown Princess in a low voice outside the palace on countless dark and windy nights—
"Wanwan, let Gu go back to his room to sleep. It's quite cold in the study."
Intention: Beautiful and sincere love
