Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Along the way, Gu Qinghe thought about her own situation. Under the influence of imperial power, she and even the Gu family were like ants.

Especially the Gu family members have different thoughts. The only ones who really care about her are her parents.

She couldn't afford to offend Xiao Jingheng, nor could she avoid him. She had thought about meeting him twice, but was interrupted by Xiao Jingheng both times.

The powerlessness of being inferior to others is pathetic.

Is this really the only way to let others manipulate her? How should she live her life? She can't even decide for herself?

Gu Qinghe glanced at Wang Chun, exerted a little force on her hand, and the tea and water in the cup spilled onto her skirt.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Gu Qinghe quickly stood up and apologized. Gu Ruoxing, who was sitting next to him, was about to snort, but after realizing where she was, she quickly covered her mouth.

"Go ahead. Tea spilled, that's not surprising. Was it too hot?" The Queen Mother smiled kindly, but her eyes glanced at the palace maid behind Gu Qinghe. The latter quickly knelt down and admitted her fault. "It's my fault. I have caused trouble for the young lady. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."

Gu Qinghe looked at the palace maid behind her. She knew that this was the Queen Mother's excuse for her. "Queen Mother, this is also the fault of this servant."

"Go change your clothes quickly." The Queen Mother nodded and stopped taking her anger out on the palace maid.

Gu Qinghe brought Yingchun and Wangchun to the side hall's wing, "Wangchun, bring the envelope here."

Wangchun was in the palace at the moment, and her movements were a little nervous. She stretched out her hand several times before taking out the envelope. "Miss, here you go."

Gu Qinghe took the envelope, quickly read the contents, and after a moment's hesitation, she took off one of the pearl earrings and handed it to Wangchun. "Wangchun, go out of the palace now and ask Master Lu if this pearl can be inlaid on a wooden hairpin."

Yingchun and Wangchun were both startled, but quickly recovered and said, "Yes, I'll go right away."

Gu Qinghe returned to the main hall. The Empress Dowager looked at him with a smile and found that there was one less maid beside Gu Qinghe. Her expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.

Old Madam Gu also noticed that Wangchun was missing and asked in a low voice, "Where is Wangchun?"

"The clothes she took off are in the Empress Dowager's palace. They are not suitable and are not convenient to carry with me. I asked her to put them back on the carriage first." Gu Qinghe said softly.

Old Mrs. Gu nodded and said nothing more.

"Madam Gu, I have met your three granddaughters. They all have their own merits. It is also a good match for the eldest granddaughter to marry her to the Lu family." The Queen Mother said, glancing at Li, who smiled flattered and bowed.

"This is the second young lady, Gu Ruoxing. I think she will have a good marriage."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Gu quickly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are so kind. The Second Young Lady's father is already trying to find a partner for her. I just hope she can find a good match soon."

Gu Ruoxing pretended to be calm, digging her nails into her palms until the pain became unbearable and she gave up.

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, then went to talk to the ladies of other families.

Gu Qinghe looked at the Empress Dowager. In her previous life, the premise for her to be nice to her was simply because she was her granddaughter-in-law. Now, her primary consideration was her grandson.

"Empress Dowager, someone from Xuanguang Palace said that everything is ready. Please bring all the ladies and girls with you." A big eunuch came in from outside and said.

"Okay, let's move on." The Empress Dowager helped Madam Liu to stand up and led the way out.

As everyone was walking out, Princess Yunhua finally had the chance to talk to Gu Qinghe, and Liu Yinshuang also came over.

"Qinghe, don't you have any earrings? I have some spare ones that go well with your dress." Yunhua said, and was about to send her maid to get them. "I want the pair inlaid with rubies."

"No need, I have them here." Liu Yinshuang said, and the maid behind her took out a pair of earrings from a purse. There were small flowers and leaves decorated under the silver thread.

You don't need to look to know that Liu Yinshuang's is much more low-key than Yunhua Jun's.

Gu Qinghe thanked him, Yingchun took it and put it on the girl in the corner, "Miss, it's done."

"Let's go. Don't keep Princess Yunhua and Miss Liu waiting for too long." Gu Qinghe said.

Yingchun looked at the girl, wondering where Wangchun had gone and whether she had seen Mr. Lu. However, she did not dare to reveal it, for fear of further confusing the girl.

When Gu Qinghe, Princess Yunhua, and Liu Yinshuang arrived at Xuanguang Hall, most people had already taken their seats. Gu Ruoxing sat next to her aunt with a dignified posture.

After taking her seat, Liu Yinshuang looked into the hall. Concubine Li hadn't arrived yet. She wondered if Ruan Liuzheng would follow. Yunhua had just spoken out, saying that her cousin, the Crown Prince, had already cut ties with the Ruan family, and had even warned Concubine Li as well.

Just as I was thinking this, Concubine Li arrived late. The girl holding her arm was none other than Ruan Liuzheng.

Liu Yinshuang glanced at Yunhua and raised her eyebrows. See, he couldn't stand being so close to her. Compared to the wealth and glory she wanted, a little face was nothing.

"Your servant pays respects to the Empress Dowager." Concubine Li bowed gently and spoke softly.

The Empress Dowager didn't even raise her eyelids, she just said: "Get up, you arrived earlier than the Emperor, you have made progress."

Concubine Li could tell that the Empress Dowager was dissatisfied with her. She just smiled, said nothing, and sat down with Ruan Liuzheng.

"Miss Ruan, isn't she?" The Empress Dowager called out to Ruan Liuzheng. She smiled faintly, but there was no warmth in her eyes. "I heard the Crown Prince say a while ago that he wanted you to return home. I didn't expect you to be so filial and still stay in the palace with your aunt."

"Yes." Ruan Liuzheng replied with lowered eyebrows.

The Empress Dowager chuckled a few times, "This child and Concubine Li, although they are aunt and nephew, they get along like real mother and daughter. I am a little envious of them."

"If the Empress Dowager likes, you can often ask Liu Zheng to come over and talk to you to relieve your boredom." Concubine Li said hurriedly as if she had seized the opportunity.

"How can this be? The Crown Prince asked Miss Ruan to leave the palace mainly because he didn't want to tarnish her reputation. After all, it's unbecoming for an unmarried woman to stay in the harem for too long. Besides, she's already engaged." The Queen Mother said calmly, waving her hand. "The Emperor dotes on you, so you should know your place."

"Yes, I will remember the teachings of the Empress Dowager." Concubine Li replied with her head down. Ruan Liuzheng's mother, who was sitting below, didn't dare to breathe.

Ruan Liuzheng bit her lower lip, almost losing color. The Empress Dowager's words left no room for maneuver, and it seemed as if she deliberately let people know that she was in the palace because of Concubine Li, and there was no other reason.

She thought about it, and then looked at the people sitting at the table. The Gu family was in a very high position this year. Was the woman next to Old Lady Gu Gu Qinghe?

Ruan Liuzheng stared at the woman in the lavender dress, waiting for her to raise her head.
