Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

"It's a simple matter." Li briefly talked about her meeting with Mrs. Chen, and then focused on describing the scene after the Empress Dowager joined.

"So, before leaving, the Empress Dowager took off the jade bracelet on her hand and put it on Qinghe's hand." Li lowered her voice and said, "I saw that the jade bracelet is really worth a lot of money. The Empress Dowager also said that it matches the gold bracelet on Qinghe's hand very well. Isn't this a perfect match?"

When Bai heard this, she leaned against the bedpost behind her, "Are you really saying that?"

"Indeed, I tried my best to imitate the original words." Li nodded. "It's quite a coincidence that the bracelet fell into Qinghe's hands. Qinghe wanted to return it, but couldn't take it off. It seems like fate."

When Bai heard what Li said, she knew that Li wanted her daughter to enter the Eastern Palace. Although her sister-in-law was a good person, everyone has selfish motives. She wanted to take advantage of the situation, which was fine, and it was not her who made it happen.

"Sister-in-law, there is no such thing as predestined fate. If I were more powerful, I could have broken it for you. As for why you can't take the bracelet off, it's probably because of your strength. The more anxious you are, the harder it will be to take it off." Bai said expressionlessly.

Li looked at her second brother's wife's expression, which was exactly the same as Gu Qinghe's expression on the way back. They both looked reluctant, and even acted like they didn't want to continue listening.

"Okay, I'll go back first. You and my second brother should make the decision on this matter." Li said with a smile, afraid that you two can't make the decision.

"Thank you for your hard work today. When I'm better, please come over for dinner." Bai sat up straight and lowered her head.

"Don't be polite, I'll go back now." Li waved her hand and said.

"Madam Liu, have someone wait in front. As soon as my husband comes back, tell him to come over. Don't delay." Bai ordered. Madam Liu had just taken a few steps when she heard another sentence, "No need to wait. Have someone wait in the Ministry of Personnel."

The first thing Bai wanted to do was call Gu An back, but he had come home early for several days in a row because of her delivery. He had finally managed to get on and off duty normally, and if he left early again, he was afraid that his colleagues would gossip.

"Go and ask the girl to come over again."

"Yes."

Gu Qinghe returned to the inner room and rubbed the cold cream on her wrist. The jade bracelet fell easily into her right palm. She wiped it and placed it in the small box brought by Wangchun. She also asked Yingchun to bring pen and ink, wrote a short note, and placed it in the box.

"Wangchun, let Wang Da take you to the East Palace, find Zhang Wu, and give this bracelet to him." Gu Qinghe handed over the box and ordered.

"Miss, is this given by the prince?" Wangchun asked in surprise.

"Go quickly, the girl doesn't want to talk now." Yingchun pushed Wangchun.

Although Wangchun had some doubts, since the girl had given the order, she just did as she was told, because in her heart the girl was the smartest person.

As soon as Wangchun left the house, Mother Liu came in hurriedly, without her usual composure. "Hello, young lady. Madam would like you to come over now."

Gu Qinghe also expected that her aunt must have told her mother this "good news", and the son-in-law that her mother and father had always imagined definitely did not include Xiao Jingheng.

Today, Jamel Xiao caught everyone off guard.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Gu Qinghe said, then stood up and followed him out.

When he arrived at the main room, he saw his mother, who looked very anxious. "Qinghe, how did you get involved with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"The Queen Mother said it was an accidental encounter."

"A chance encounter? That's easy to say. There aren't so many chance encounters. At your coming-of-age ceremony, the Crown Prince came to give you a gift, saying that he was following the orders of the Empress Dowager. But he hinted at Madam Lu, and I felt something was wrong. Now it confirms my thought." Mrs. Bai spoke very quickly, which was a sign of her anger.

"Mother, please don't be angry. If you hurt yourself at this time, it will be difficult to take care of yourself." Gu Qinghe hurriedly stroked his mother's back.

"How can I not be angry? My daughter is being restrained like this, and I can't think of a way to break the deadlock. How can I not be angry?" Bai looked at her daughter lovingly.

I have always been proud that my daughter inherited the strengths of me and my husband, and is beautiful, bright, graceful and elegant. But today, it seems that this is not entirely a good thing.

My daughter has such a straightforward personality. If she were to enter the royal family where everyone is cunning and treacherous, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

After what happened today, any family with some connections will not have anything to do with Qinghe anymore, otherwise they would be going against the prince. Who would dare to do that?

"Mother, please calm down. Father hasn't come back yet. Maybe he will have a solution." Gu Qinghe comforted her. In fact, she also knew that there was no good solution to this situation for the time being.

When Mrs. Bai heard her daughter mention Gu An, her breathing calmed down.

Speak of the devil, and here he comes. While Bai was staring outside, Gu An hurried in. "Madam, you sent someone to tell me that something difficult has happened at home. What is it?"

Bai took a look at Gu Qinghe, who was playing with her younger brother, and explained the whole story clearly. Gu An was also a little surprised and hurriedly called Gu Qinghe over, "Where is the bracelet that the Empress Dowager gave you? Let father take a look."

He wanted to see if it was what Bai was talking about, the betrothal gift that the late emperor gave to the Empress Dowager. He had heard about it from his colleagues in the Ministry of Rites before.

"I have asked someone to send him back to the East Palace." Gu Qinghe said.

"It's better to return it. No reward without merit. It would be a shame to take something from someone else." Gu An said.

"Husband, look, what should we do about our daughter's marriage?" asked Bai.

"Madam, don't worry. I will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince what it means during the morning court tomorrow." Gu An said softly, but the back of his neck was also sweaty.

He knew that there were only three options. The first was to wait patiently for the Crown Prince's opinion. The second was for someone who was not afraid of the imperial power to show up and propose to Qinghe. The third was that in two years he would start paying a fine to the Jingzhao Prefecture for his daughter not marrying, but when she turned 30, she would have to become a nun. This was absolutely not acceptable.

"Qinghe, you go back first, eat and sleep, Dad will find a solution." Gu An looked at his daughter and comforted her.

"Yes."

After Gu Qinghe left, Gu An went to the study first. After a long sigh, the servant came to report, "Master, Xiao Lord Lu is here. He said he got some pears from Dengzhou and brought us two baskets."

When Gu An heard that Lu Wangzhou was coming, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. He stood up with a "thump", and then sat down again. He couldn't do this. He had been cold to Lu Wangzhou for a long time before, and this time he was clearly taking advantage of him.

"Please ask him to come in and talk."

Lu Wangzhou followed behind the servant, constantly making up his mind. He did not come here without any knowledge. Just now, Yuanxiao met Wangchun and learned half of the situation through conversation.

Lu Wangzhou was a smart man. He pieced together the other half from Yuanxiao's story.

Gu Qinghe is helpless now, and he wants to help him, but also wants to take advantage of the situation. He subconsciously feels that this may be his last chance.
