Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Gu Qinghe felt that someone was staring at him from the right front. When he looked over, it was Ruan Liuzheng. There was a hint of fear in the other person's eyes.

"Prince Jin is here." Li said in a low voice. Gu Qinghe clenched his fists and looked towards the entrance of the hall. He almost died under the arrow of Prince Jin in his previous life, so it was much earlier for them to meet in this life.

Ruan Liuzheng was still staring at Gu Qinghe, her heart was in turmoil. She knew that Gu Qinghe was a beauty, otherwise she would not have attracted her cousin the Crown Prince. After all, all men are lustful.

But she didn't expect that she was so outstanding. Just now, when Gu Qinghe looked up at her, the lotus-petal earrings on her ears swayed slightly, as if they were embellishments on an exquisite painting of a beauty.

To describe her as having skin as white as cream, eyebrows as picturesque, and eyes as clear as autumn waters, was not enough. What surprised Ruan Liuzheng even more was that the look in Gu Qinghe's eyes just now seemed to be one of contempt, without any inquiry at all.

She knows Gu Qinghe, but doesn’t Gu Qinghe know about her existence?

"Grandson pays his respects to the Empress Dowager." Prince Jin bowed with a smile on his face. The Empress Dowager also raised her hand with a loving expression, "Hurry up and sit down to talk."

With the prince's entrance, the emperor and the crown prince also entered the hall. Everyone stood up and knelt to pay their respects.

"Get up! We're having a banquet today, so there's no need to be formal." The emperor smiled and took the main seat. He then said to the empress dowager, "I originally wanted to send the crown prince to Yongshou Palace to fetch you, but I learned you were already here."

The Queen Mother was very proud of the face her son, the Emperor, had given her. "It was so lively here, so I came here earlier. But the Crown Prince was left empty-handed."

Facing the Empress Dowager's teasing smile, Xiao Jingheng smiled helplessly and said, "The most important thing is that the Royal Grandmother is happy. All I have to do is take a few more steps."

In the main seat, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were talking and laughing, and they were in a happy mood. Naturally, the people below had to laugh along, but Prince Jin could not laugh.

As a concubine's son, Xiao Jingheng received many benefits because he was brought into the palace of the late queen. The biggest one was that he was made the crown prince.

He was really unwilling to accept this. He had been guarding the border and had not been able to return to the capital for several years. When he came back, his father was also very wary of him. The scene playing out before his eyes was really glaring.

Why can Jamel Xiao have everything he wants? And it's so easy.

Prince Jin thought so and looked at Xiao Jingheng again. This time he saw something different from what he had imagined.

His younger brother, the crown prince, was looking at a female member of the family sitting below. She was not the woman he had thought she was, but another beauty whom he had found very interesting before.

It seems that his good brother has grown up and is not just superficial.

Looking at the brightly dressed girl from the Gu family, she was shyly glancing at Xiao Jingheng. Prince Jin couldn't help but laugh. The two sisters of the Gu family were quite interesting.

The banquet began with the emperor speaking some high-sounding words and the ministers flattering him to the utmost. Then the dancers and musicians came on stage, and the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet began.

Xiao Jingheng noticed Gu Qinghe's earring. Although it was very beautiful, he knew at a glance that it was not hers.

Halfway through the banquet, the emperor dismissed the dancers and the music faded. He looked at his ministers and relatives sitting below, smiled faintly, and said, "Today, let's not talk about the emperor and his subjects. On this Mid-Autumn Festival, let's talk about family matters and our children."

When everyone heard the emperor's words, they knew that the emperor had something on his mind. Speaking of his children, the one who needed the most attention was the crown prince.

According to ancestral rules, the candidates for the Crown Princess have been decided. Before the wedding, two concubines will be brought into the Eastern Palace. Although they are concubines, maybe they will become imperial concubines after the Crown Prince ascends the throne?

As for the concubine, those present are all officials of the fourth rank and above. Come to think of it, it should be possible to get it, right?

Ruan Liuzheng also looked at Concubine Li, as if asking for help, but Concubine Li didn't dare to say anything at this moment. She had just been scolded by the Empress Dowager, who said that Ruan Liuzheng had an engagement and was not suitable to stay in the harem for a long time. She also pointed out that she was ignorant because she relied on the emperor's favor.

No matter how ignorant Concubine Li was, she knew very well in her heart that she must never go against the Emperor's mother. This was the huge mountain of "filial piety".

She snorted in her heart. Now the Queen Mother treated concubines like them like this. When her son ascended the throne in the future, she would have to do the same.

All daughters-in-law are like this, hoping to become mothers-in-law.

When Ruan Liuzheng saw that Concubine Li just lowered her head and didn't say anything, she understood even more clearly that Concubine Li was unreliable. Even her own father was unreliable, so who else could she rely on?

"Sir Li, I remember you have a granddaughter who is sixteen years old this year. Can you tell me about her?" The emperor looked at Sir Li, the Minister of the Dali Temple.

"Your Majesty, my granddaughter is of low character and hasn't found a husband yet." Lord Li stood up and bowed politely, "But we are already looking."

The emperor heard this and understood what he said. He just asked Lord Li to sit down and said nothing else. He then looked at the Grand Tutor and asked, "Teacher, you have a daughter in your family, right?"

Gu Qinghe watched as the emperor chose these two, who were the concubines he had chosen for the dog prince in his previous life. However, he didn't know under what circumstances the decision was made in his previous life?

Thinking of this, Zhang Taifu stood up and said with full energy: "Your Majesty, Zhang Ling has already exchanged engagement letters with the boy from Lu Hongsi's family."

The emperor still showed no reaction after hearing this, he just nodded and said, "Very good, this is a good marriage between people of equal social status."

Has the scheming Concubine Zhang been promised to another family? Gu Qinghe looked at Xiao Jingheng. He had a calm expression on his face, as if he was happy to see it happen. He met her eyes and nodded slightly.

Suddenly, the Prince of Jin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since you mentioned this, I have a humble request."

"Speak freely today." The emperor nodded and smiled.

"Father, when I returned this time, you said you were happy to see your grandchildren and wanted them to stay in the capital with you for a while." The Prince of Jin said respectfully, "I also hope that they can take my place by your side and fulfill their filial duty. However, this child cannot leave his mother. If so, I will be alone when I return. I hope that Father will have mercy on me."

The main point of King Jin's long speech is this: when I go back, there will be no woman by my side. Please, father, find me another one.

The emperor looked at the Prince of Jin and smiled, "Father, I understand. Let me think about it. Everyone present here is my precious daughter. Who would be willing to let their daughter follow you to the frontier and eat sand?"

A concubine passed away in the Prince of Jin's mansion two years ago, and he never asked for a title. It's not too much to ask for this today, but he kept glancing at the girl from the Gu family. What for?

In addition, appointing the daughter of a court official as a concubine would undoubtedly help the Prince of Jin. Even if she was unwilling to take sides, having a relative by marriage would be the most solid guarantee.

Xiao Jingheng listened carefully to what Prince Jin said, and then saw him looking at the Gu family's position vaguely. His heart tightened, but he did not show it on his face.
