Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Ruan Liuzheng learned the news that the emperor had granted the prince a marriage when she left the General Zhenbei's Mansion.

She went to the mansion with her mother and said that Ruan Liuzheng was already old and wanted to fulfill her engagement with the Jiang family, but there was no news from Jiang Huizhou yet.

"Mrs. Jiang, you also have a girl at home. You must know that a girl's blooming period is only in the next few years." Mrs. Ruan smiled and said in a rare tactful way.

Mrs. Jiang naturally heard the hidden meaning, and she also knew that ever since Hui Zhou lost contact with his father, the girl from the Ruan family had been living in the palace, saying that she was accompanying Concubine Li. However, she did not believe at all that they had no other selfish motives.

"Mrs. Ruan, I understand what you mean. I delayed your daughter for so long out of selfish motives. I always hoped that they would come back. One more person hoping would give us more strength." Mrs. Jiang took a few deep breaths, trying not to let the tears flow. "I was negligent. I'm sorry."

When Mrs. Ruan heard that Mrs. Jiang had relented, her face revealed genuine sympathy. "Mrs. Jiang, although our two families cannot become in-laws, we are still friends. When I burn incense in the Buddhist temple, I often hope that Huizhou and his family can return safely."

"Thank you very much." Mrs. Jiang didn't want to say these polite words anymore. If she really wanted Huizhou to come back, she would not let her daughter cast a wide net. I heard that he had recently become interested in Prince Jin.

Ruan Zhou, the Minister of Rites, has one daughter but is thinking about three husbands. He really knows etiquette and rules!

At this point, she still doesn't dare to become a relative of such a person.

"Another day, I will invite good witnesses to your house to exchange the birth certificates of the two children and destroy the marriage certificates. Please prepare one or two as well." Mrs. Jiang said here, intending to end today's reception.

"Okay, you can come any day." Mrs. Ruan said as she stood up after greeting everyone. Ruan Liuzheng also looked guilty, but she couldn't hide the relief on her face.

Mrs. Jiang escorted the Ruan family mother and daughter to the door. While they were exchanging final pleasantries, Jiang Xiuyuan rode back in a hurry. Before he even dismounted, he shouted, "Mother, I have two pieces of news to tell you."

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Jiang guessed that it was good news. "The guests are still here. You are being rude by yelling so loudly. Apologize to Mrs. Ruan and Miss Ruan."

Jiang Xiuyuan still remembered that his mother had asked him to call her Aunt Ruan or Sister Ruan before. Why did the names change this time? Oh, was it because the Ruan family finally couldn't help themselves and brought up the matter of breaking off the engagement?

He thought about the contents of the imperial edict he had just heard, and then remembered the news brought back by Brother Chen from the border, and couldn't help but put away his smile. As a person, you must not want everything, otherwise you will not get anything and your reputation will be ruined.

"Xiuyuan, what good news makes you so excited?" Ruan Liuzheng said in a sisterly manner.

Jiang Xiuyuan's eyes moved, "Nothing, I just heard that the emperor has granted the prince a marriage."

As soon as the words fell, Ruan Liuzheng's face instantly darkened. She staggered a little, and the maid quickly supported her. "Then do you know whose family this girl is from?"

"I know. Now half of the capital knows that the daughter of the Minister of Personnel is called Gu Qinghe." Jiang Xiuyuan said, winking at his mother.

He could never forget that when the prince came to the general's mansion and heard that Madam Chen had chosen the daughter of the Gu family, he felt like he had teeth on his butt and could not sit still at all.

Later, there were rumors in the market that the prince took the empress dowager to Xiangguo Temple to intercept someone else's beard. Some said it was the second girl's. However, the rumor soon disappeared, making him more certain that the prince was going for the third girl.

Mrs. Ruan was also confused. When she entered the palace a few days ago, Concubine Li did not mention it to her. When Liu Zheng returned home, there was no news in the palace.

Why did the imperial decree suddenly grant the marriage?

"Mrs. Ruan, take care. I will come to your house as soon as possible." Mrs. Jiang said with a faint smile.

"Oh, okay, Madam Jiang, please stay." Madam Ruan got on the carriage with unsteady steps. She looked at her daughter and thought of her husband's words. If the crown prince failed, there was still the Prince of Jin. It was worth canceling the engagement.

"Liu Zheng, go home and discuss this with your father." Mrs. Ruan held her daughter's hand and said calmly.

The carriage was driving on the street, which seemed to be much more difficult to travel than before. People gathered in groups of three or four and began to talk loudly.

"What we're saying is that the Gu family is really going to rise to prominence. The two daughters in the family are promised to the emperor's two sons. They will become the crown princesses and then the queens, the most noble women in the world."

"I've seen the third daughter of the Gu family at the Lantern Festival before. If I were to ask myself, it's because she only returned to the capital this year. Otherwise, how could the daughter of the Ruan family have the chance to be crowned the most beautiful in the capital?"

When Ruan Liuzheng heard this, she bit her lower lip so tightly that it turned pale, but the sound outside continued.

"You're right, but it's also a blessing for the other one to be the concubine of Prince Jin."

At this time, a woman spoke up: "Men are superficial. This is a blessing. She was originally a girl like Gu's family. Being a concubine to the King of Jin is not as good as a sister."

Everyone in the crowd was talking non-stop. The carriage finally drove out of the noisy road and went straight to the Ruan Mansion. Mrs. Ruan's face was pale.

East Palace

Han Desheng stood in front of the prince's desk, waiting for his instructions.

Xiao Jingheng was thinking hard at this time, trying to gather more memories of his past life so that he could decorate the yard for Gu Qinghe. He would draw whatever he remembered.

Han Desheng was very confused at this time. The prince's paintings used to be very smooth, but today he seemed to have run out of ideas. After half an hour, he finally saw the prince put down his brush.

"Han Desheng, go to the Imperial Household Department, gather all these things, and then arrange them according to the painting."

The prince gave instructions, and Han Desheng looked at the contents and annotations on the painting. These were all first-class good things. Some of them were not available in the Imperial Household Department or even the Eastern Palace. The prince had to dig out the information from his father's private vault.

"Your Highness, has the Emperor promised to give you these things?" Han Desheng asked in a low voice.

Xiao Jingheng took a look at it and then he remembered that it was part of the betrothal gift in his previous life. He hadn't made the betrothal gift in this life yet, so it was too early to write it.

"Let's wait for now." Xiao Jingheng coughed twice and said calmly.

"Yes." Han Desheng received the task and was about to go out, but he saw Prince Xiao and Princess Yunhua coming over, talking and laughing.

"Your servant greets the Crown Prince and Princess Yunhua." Han Desheng bowed quickly.

"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Xiao Yifei asked.

"I'm in the study. I just finished my work. I asked someone to tell you." Han Desheng said and waved to Baoshun.

Baoshun understood and knocked on the door three times, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince and Princess Yunhua are here."

When Xiao Jingheng first heard Xiao Yifei, he was about to wave him away, but when he heard Yun Hua coming over, he nodded and said, "Please come in."

After Yunhua followed her brothers in paying respects to the Crown Prince, she sat obediently and listened to her brothers talk without any desire to express herself. But God knew that she really wanted to speak so badly.

"Yunhua, aren't you busy preparing for your wedding? How come you have time to come to the East Palace?" In the end, Xiao Jingheng couldn't help but ask first.
