Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Old Madam Gu's face was so bright with smiles that it almost blossomed. Li, who was kneeling behind her, could not hide her joy. The Gu family was going to be prosperous and would become royal relatives in the future. The benefits of this were self-evident.

Gu Hong's face was also full of pride. His niece was married into a first-class family. It was just like when his second brother returned to Beijing. He and his eldest brother persuaded his second brother to consider it, but his second brother was unwilling. Now it seems that he is destined to marry her.

Wang's mother and daughter were biting their lips tightly at this time. Wang was envious and jealous of her second sister-in-law, while Gu Ruoxing felt aggrieved and her eyes were so hot that they seemed to burn a hole in the ground.

"There is another imperial decree. Gu Ruoxing, the daughter of Gu Hong, who is well-educated, gentle and graceful, is granted the title of concubine of Prince Jin." Sun Guang said with a smile. He did not take out the imperial decree again, but only conveyed the oral order.

Upon hearing this, Wang's first reaction was surprise. She quickly touched her daughter's arm and said, "Your Highness, I accept your command and thank you."

This was considered the end of the business. Sun Guang waited for the people from the Gu family to get up and wanted to keep him for tea, but he said that the emperor was in front of him and needed his service, so he went back to the palace first. It was Gu Ping who saw him off, and the two of them talked and laughed as they left the mansion.

At this moment, Old Lady Gu looked at her two granddaughters with a loving face. Gu Qinghe had no expression on her face, while Gu Ruoxing had a face full of indignation and looked at Gu Qinghe from time to time.

"You two are both blessed to have such a great fortune. You are sisters in your mother's family, and when you get married, you will be sisters-in-law. You must take care of each other." As the old lady spoke, she walked in front of Gu Qinghe, looked into her eyes, and spoke earnestly.

"Grandma, Princess Yunhua and Miss Liu came to see me just now. The imperial edict came suddenly, and I don't know if they have left. My granddaughter has to go and check on them." Gu Qinghe said.

"Princess Yunhua is here? Oh, we will be living together for a long time in the future, so go and see her quickly, don't neglect her." The old lady said with a smile.

Gu An and Bai Shi looked at their daughter's back and hurried back, but were stopped by the old lady, "Second brother, and second daughter-in-law, I don't care what plans you had for Qinghe in the past, but now is different. The imperial decree has been issued. If you don't want the whole family to suffer, then please persuade your daughter with kind words."

Gu An looked at his serious mother and sighed, "Mother, I know the pros and cons of this, and I will definitely not let you down."

"Mother-in-law, what you said makes sense. We should really pay more attention to it." Bai tightened her clothes and said, "Even your words should be more practical. Ever since we returned to the capital, the second young lady has disliked our Qinghe. She can't even be a good sister at home, so how can she be a good sister-in-law?"

The old lady was speechless for a moment. Bai looked at Wang again, but did not say anything. However, the meaning of her words was very clear. The relationship between her and Wang as sisters-in-law was obvious.

"you--"

Before Mrs. Gu could finish her words, she was interrupted by Gu An, "Mother, we have to leave first. She shouldn't be out for too long."

After Gu An and his wife walked away, Gu Hong also left with his hands behind his back. Li supported the old lady and walked back. Wang quickly caught up and supported the old lady's other arm.

Li looked at the smile on Wang's face. She was like a completely different person compared to when she was punished to copy scriptures a while ago. She was full of resentment towards her mother-in-law before, but now she was smiling again.

"Third sister-in-law, look how happy you are." Li said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you are unhappy?" Wang looked over. "However, if Yueru had not yet married, perhaps these two girls would not have received the imperial edict today."

"It's good enough for her to marry into the Lu family." Li smiled and shook her head. Old Mrs. Gu glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law. She really felt content.

"Mother, now that both girls are marrying into the royal family, how do you think we should arrange their dowries?" Wang asked directly without hesitation.

"Ask your sister-in-law about that." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu waved her hand and pushed away the responsibility. "I will add to the makeup, but it will be slightly more or less than Yueru's share. After all, I'm an old woman and don't have much left."

Li was relieved to hear her mother-in-law say this. "Mother, Yueru's situation is different. Qinghe is going to enter the Eastern Palace. You can add more. I will definitely not say a word."

Wang's face instantly grew long. "Sister-in-law, what you said is disrespectful to our Ruoxing. We both married into the royal family and are both mother's granddaughters. How can you favor one over the other? Besides, Second Sister-in-law's family is richer than ours combined. Why does she want mother to give more dowry to Third Girl? And you're comparing her to Yueru? Is Yueru even comparable?"

Li didn't want to say much, but it was wrong for Wang to drag Yueru out as a scapegoat.

"It's different, Third Sister-in-law. The Crown Prince is different from the Prince of Jin. Naturally, the Crown Princess is also different from the Prince of Jin's Consort." Li looked at Wang and decided to get to the bottom of it. "Besides, she is the Prince of Jin's concubine, not his legal wife. Today, Ruoxing only gave her oral instructions."

"You—" Wang raised her hand and pointed at Li, her face flushed. "Sister-in-law, you really know how to cook. Ruoxing was the one who grew up under your care."

Li didn't argue with Wang, and turned to the old lady, "Mother, you were just angry with my second brother's wife, but you didn't realize you accidentally said the wrong thing. The Crown Princess and the Prince of Jin's concubine are not sisters-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Gu also nodded, "I was negligent. The royal family must attach more importance to etiquette than we do."

"In the palace, the favored concubines are more powerful than the queen." Wang said unconvinced.

"The emperor has not arranged a concubine for the prince." Li said lightly.

Wang was standing by, unable to tell what was going on. A concubine of the prince was also a concubine, so it didn't matter. As long as her daughter lived a good life and helped the family occasionally, that was enough.

Gu Qinghe returned to her own courtyard. Princess Yunhua and Liu Yinshuang were still there, seemingly waiting for her to bring back news.

When the two saw the imperial edict in Gu Qinghe's hand, they understood what was written on it and no longer asked about its contents.

"I thought you two had already gone home." Gu Qinghe handed the imperial edict in his hand to Wangchun, who was standing beside him. Then he sat between the two of them and said to Yunhua, "Power is really a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yinshuang poured tea for Gu Qinghe and said, "Have a sip of tea. Your lips are a little dry."

"Thank you."

"Since you know power is a good thing, why don't you become someone in power?" Liu Yinshuang said softly, "Don't make things difficult for yourself, make things difficult for others. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, make them feel uncomfortable too."

Gu Qinghe nodded after hearing this, "You have a point."

Princess Yunhua was stunned when she heard Liu Yinshuang's words. "That's not right. Shouldn't I have said that now? If it can't be changed, accept it first, then change it."
