Han Desheng was on guard outside, half asleep. When he heard the noise from the inner room, he hurried to the door and said, "Your Highness, are you okay? Do you want me to come in?"

He just heard the prince shout, "This is my Crown Princess!" Who is this person?

Could it be the third daughter of the Gu family who is good at martial arts? Thinking of that scene, he shuddered.

"No need to come in."

"Yes." Han Desheng responded and stepped aside to wait.

Xiao Jingheng leaned on the couch, thinking about the nightmare he had just had. Yes, the content of this dream was definitely a nightmare.

In her previous life, Gu Qinghe had no involvement with the son of the Chen family, because the day she just returned to Beijing, she was favored by the old princess, and then the empress dowager also liked her. With the emperor's decree, everything came to fruition.

However, this time it was different. Due to some strange coincidence, Gu Qinghe was now single and if she wandered around outside more often, it was hard to guarantee that she would not cause him a lot of troubles.

No, he needs to speed up and make this marriage happen as soon as possible.

"Han Desheng——" Xiao Jingheng shouted towards the door.

Upon hearing this, Han Desheng pushed the door open and came in, "Your Highness, please give your orders."

"Are Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu currently unemployed?"

"Yes, you just gave them a holiday a few days ago." Han Desheng replied.

"Ask them to pay attention to what the second branch of the Gu family is usually busy with?" Xiao Jingheng said somewhat uncomfortably.

After all, Han Desheng had just suggested a few days ago that someone should be sent to keep an eye on Miss Gu San. What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say at that time?

Oh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said righteously, are the guards of the Eastern Palace used for this? How can you use public resources for personal gain?

"Yes, I will give the order tomorrow morning." Han Desheng pursed his lips, suppressed his laughter, and replied softly.

"Okay, don't make this public, just do it secretly." Xiao Jingheng waved his hand and pretended to lie down and fall asleep.

Han Desheng retreated quietly. When he got outside, he covered his mouth and laughed silently twice, but then the smile disappeared. Does this mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wants Miss Gu San, who is skilled in martial arts, to be the Crown Princess and his master?

Gu Mansion

Early in the morning, Gu An and his brothers from the other two families went to court, leaving Bai to arrange for Gu Qinghe to go to school.

Although the schools that girls attend are not as strict as those for boys, girls in the capital are also very motivated.

After all, going out like this is legitimate.

Gu Qinghe took Yingchun with her, and Wangchun was left at home by her. Bai saw her off to the mansion gate.

I met Gu Yueru and Gu Ruoxing at the door. They both bowed and said, "Greetings to my aunt/second aunt."

Gu Qinghe also greeted the two of them, said goodbye, and got on the carriage, "Mom, you should go back soon. I will be back in the afternoon."

"Okay, mother will ask the kitchen to make your favorite pastry." Bai waved the handkerchief in her hand, watched the carriage leave, and then walked back.

"This is the first time in so many years that I've sent my child to school." Mrs. Bai smiled at the nanny beside her.

Gu Yueru and Gu Ruoxing were walking on the side. After hearing what Bai said, Gu Yueru smiled and said, "Second Aunt, you and Second Uncle actually sent Third Sister to school. I'm really envious."

Gu Ruoxing listened from the side and chuckled inwardly. What was there to envy? It was just that she didn't have a son.

"Yueru, your third sister wanted to go to school when she was in Dengzhou, but there was no girls' school. Now that you have the opportunity, go and see for yourself and make a few friends." Bai said with a smile.

"Second aunt, Third Sister hasn't even gotten familiar with me and my elder sister yet, but she wants to go out and make friends. Does she look down on her sisters at home?" Gu Ruoxing asked with a wry smile.

Bai's smile disappeared. "I've said it before, Second Miss likes to think this way. Then Second Aunt has nothing more to say."

After saying that, he took his people back to Yuquanyuan.

Gu Yueru glanced at Gu Ruoxing, shook her head, sighed deeply, and returned to the main room.

Gu Ruoxing was left where she was. She stamped her feet in anger, snorted coldly, and stormed back to the courtyard of the third room.

"Mother, this Gu Yueru is a snob. Seeing that the second branch has returned to Beijing and has power and money, she fawns over them and also praises that Gu Qinghe." Gu Ruoxing found Wang and began to cry.

Wang patted her back and soothed her, "Daughter, you don't have to envy the second wife. Mother has asked your uncle to see if you can go to that school as well."

"Really? That's great. It will let others know how outstanding a daughter raised by her mother is." Gu Ruoxing hugged Wang's arm and said coquettishly.

"Ruoxing, you must understand your mother's painstaking efforts. Previously at the flower-viewing banquet at Prince Yan's Mansion, I noticed that the Empress Dowager had a somewhat neutral feeling towards you, so you should broaden your targets. The men in the Imperial College are all sons of aristocratic families." Wang said earnestly.

"Mother?" Gu Ruoxing looked at Wang in astonishment. She didn't expect her mother to have such thoughts.

"What are you talking about? It was clear that the Empress Dowager only spoke to the daughter of the Gu family that day, and the eldest sister had already planned to start seeing each other." Gu Ruoxing said unwillingly.

In her opinion, since Gu Qinghe did not show up, her chances of winning were the greatest. Her mother's words undoubtedly hit her self-confidence.

"Daughter, don't think too much. Mother just wants you to learn to cast a wide net. The Crown Princess has not been decided yet, so of course you can continue to work hard. But when you work hard, you will also attract other outstanding men. This is what mother means." Wang said in a gentle voice.

Gu Ruoxing calmed down a little after listening to Wang's explanation.

The girls' school of the Imperial College is for girls under the age of fifteen, because those who are older are basically engaged or married and it is not easy for them to go out.

"Are you new here? Your last name is Gu?" A cute girl with a round face and round eyes came up to Gu Qinghe and asked.

"Yes, my name is Gu Qinghe."

"I'm Liu Yinshuang. How come I've never heard of you? You're so beautiful, it shouldn't be like that."

Gu Qinghe smiled when he heard this, "Miss Liu, you are too kind."

"Our homes are in the same direction, so we can keep each other company from now on." Liu Yinshuang said with a smile.

Gu Qinghe looked at the girl, who was quite pleasing, and nodded, "Okay."

East Palace

Xiao Jingheng was writing in the study, and Han Desheng's voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, Zhang Wu is back and said he has something to report."

He put down the pen in his hand, coughed lightly, and then replied, "Let him come in."

Han Desheng smiled when he heard this, looked at Zhang Wu with an ugly expression, and said gloatingly, "Please come in, Guard Zhang."
