Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

After returning to the palace from hunting, Concubine Li feigned illness and stayed indoors, and even did not attend the tea party hosted by the Empress Dowager.

Xiao Jingheng only visited once, so Concubine Li naturally didn't want to see him. He didn't say anything and just left.

The Emperor naturally came less often, for ever since the incident at the enclosure, he had become even more pleased with the Prince, a man of great ruthlessness.

After the morning court session, the emperor kept the crown prince to chat, "Prince Jin left the capital yesterday."

"Yes, I will go and see him off." Xiao Jingheng nodded.

"He is a skilled warrior and leader, but his princess is a steady and wise woman." The emperor said this and glanced at the prince. "Where is your princess?"

"I think Miss Gu San is wiser than me." Xiao Jingheng replied with a smile when he mentioned Gu Qinghe.

The emperor smiled and said, "I don't need to be above you. Having a wife who is too smart is not always a good thing."

Xiao Jingheng remained noncommittal. He felt that it was much easier to talk and do things with smart people. If a couple could understand each other very well, that would be the best thing.

Although Xiao Jingheng delivered a letter, wanting to explain to Gu Qinghe in person and apologize, it was really not easy for a man and a woman who were engaged to meet each other.

Because of the constraints of etiquette, it is difficult to meet, but letters have been sent more frequently recently because the nanny sent by the palace to teach Gu Qinghe etiquette has arrived.

This nanny, who was in her fifties, was named Li and came from Yongshou Palace. Since there was no queen in the palace, these matters could only be handled by the empress dowager.

However, she is not the same person as the teaching nanny from the previous life.

"Greetings to the Crown Princess. These are the snacks specially made by the Empress Dowager. She said she saw you liked them." The first sentence Li Ma said when she came in today was that the Empress Dowager had brought her some snacks.

"Madam Li, just call me Third Miss." Gu Qinghe smiled faintly and gestured to Yingchun to take the things.

"Yes, I forgot again." Nanny Li smiled apologetically.

She said she came to teach etiquette and posture to the future Crown Princess of the Gu family, but after a few days, she found that there was no need to teach at all, and she could even find her own shortcomings.

However, the palace rules were set, and she had to come here to attend classes for the next three months.

In fact, it was mostly just a formality, chatting with the future Crown Princess. After all, the Queen Mother wanted him to follow the Crown Princess and do things.

Recently, she had a new job, which was to help the prince deliver snacks. In fact, she knew that there was a letter under the snack plate.

The letters kept coming in, but there was not a single reply.

Nanny Li was a little unsure, did the Third Miss read the letter? The Prince looked at her cuffs eagerly every day, hoping to take out the envelope from it...

"Mammy, I am grateful to the Empress Dowager for thinking of me and for asking you to bring these things here every day. I also specially learned how to make a salty dried meat dish, so that the Empress Dowager can change her taste." Gu Qinghe said with a smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wangchun brought up a dish and said, "Madam, try it first and see if the Empress Dowager likes it."

Upon hearing this, Madam Li waved her hands repeatedly, "I dare not, this is something you made yourself."

"Try it." Gu Qinghe said, pushing the plate towards Li Ma's face and looking into her eyes.

"Yes, since you have ordered me to do so, I will do it." Nanny Li pinched a small piece and just as she bit it off, she said, "Third Miss, your cooking is excellent. The Empress Dowager will surely like it."

"With Madam's guarantee, I feel relieved." Gu Qinghe nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject, "How is Concubine Li doing in the palace recently?"

"The third young lady is so kind-hearted that she still remembers to care about Concubine Li. I heard that she has been staying in seclusion in the palace recently and has even started copying Buddhist scriptures. However, the emperor still visits her every few days." Nanny Li frowned slightly and said as she recalled.

She had nothing to hide from Miss Gu San, as she would be her future master.

Gu Qinghe was not so kind as to care about her. She just wanted to know herself and her enemy. Only by understanding Concubine Li's condition could she deal with the suddenly different Concubine Li. Of course, this "different" meant that Concubine Li no longer had Ruan Liuzheng by her side.

"After all, Concubine Li is the mother of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Qinghe said with a faint smile.

An hour later, Nanny Li boarded the waiting carriage and returned to the palace. She first reported to the Empress Dowager, "Everything is fine. Today, Miss Gu San also asked about Concubine Li. I didn't hide anything."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Tell her the truth. After she marries, gradually, all matters in the palace will be handed over to the Crown Princess. I am old, and if the Emperor had not decided to appoint a successor, why would I still be interfering in my grandson's marriage?"

"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, you have worked hard. From my perspective, Miss Gu San is definitely a skilled hand. Her demeanor is truly one in a million."

"Now you are speaking well of your future master." Nanny Lin teased.

"Don't blame her. I think my granddaughter-in-law likes it too." When the Empress Dowager and her servants were laughing together, the eunuch at the palace gate announced that the Crown Prince was coming.

"Look, in the first few months, she came once every half a month on average, but in the last few days, she comes twice a day. We don't know whether she comes to see me or to see Nanny Li. She only comes when you are in the palace." The Queen Mother pointed to the door and said jokingly.

Nanny Li glanced at the door. Seeing that the Crown Prince had not yet arrived, she quickly said, "I am wronged. If Nanny Lin went to the Gu Mansion, His Royal Highness would probably come when Nanny Lin was in the palace."

While they were joking, Xiao Jingheng had already crossed the courtyard and arrived in front of the main hall. The eunuch at the door was about to pay his respects when he saw the prince suddenly raise his hand and said, "No thanks."

The young eunuch looked at the prince's figure and sighed in his heart: He walked so fast. Is there any treasure hidden in Yongshou Palace recently?

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager." Xiao Jingheng bowed and greeted with a smile on his face.

"Sit down and talk. You came a little earlier today than yesterday." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Yes, there are fewer things to do today, so I will come over early to talk to you." Xiao Jingheng naturally saw the teasing intention of the Empress Dowager and answered calmly.

"Your Highness, it's a coincidence that you came here. Today, I came back from the Gu Mansion. Miss Gu San said that she was grateful to the Empress Dowager, so she asked me to bring her snacks every day. She specially learned a dish to make it. She said that she always eats desserts with tea, so she wants to change the taste." Nanny Li had received instructions from the Empress Dowager and pushed the plate in front of the Crown Prince.

Xiao Jingheng was brainstorming. He was thinking about the sweet treats he'd been sending out lately. Was Gu Qinghe tired of them? Then he might as well switch to something salty and crispy tomorrow. She'd rarely used them in her previous life.

"Prince, please try it quickly. This is a return gift of snacks. I have received it without any reward, so it is not right for me to enjoy it all by myself. Try it." The Queen Mother said with a faint smile.

Xiao Jingheng felt a little embarrassed at this time. This matter was tacitly known, so why did the Empress Dowager bring it up in the open?
