Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry
Chapter 167: Plenty of Opportunities
Gu Qinghe walked in and gave the jade pendant to Madam Chen. Madam Chen declined for a while, but finally accepted it. "Jingzhi will definitely like it after seeing it. I want to thank you on her behalf."
"Aunt Chen, I rarely go out recently. If Jingzhi gets bored staying at home, you can come and play with me." Gu Qinghe smiled faintly and sat next to Bai.
"Okay, I will definitely come to bother you then." Madam Chen agreed with a smile. Chen Jingzhi had always liked Gu Qinghe. God knows how many times Jingzhi cursed him secretly when she returned home after the Xiangguo Temple was ruined by the Empress Dowager.
Besides, there is no harm in making friends with Gu Qinghe.
After two more cups of tea, Mrs. Chen said it was getting late and she should go back. Mrs. Bai was polite and asked to keep her for dinner.
"Next time." Madam Chen said as she stood up and walked out. Gu Qinghe and Bai Shi also walked her to the door. Before leaving, Madam Chen patted Gu Qinghe's hand and said, "Good boy, you are a blessed person. You will have a good life wherever you go. Go back quickly."
Gu Qinghe smiled and nodded, watching Madam Chen get on the carriage before going back with Bai.
"Mrs. Chen is right." Mrs. Bai said this suddenly as she walked with her daughter. Gu Qinghe also smiled and said, "Mother, I know."

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. A palace banquet was held in the palace. The banquet was held in the evening. Just after lunch, Yufu Palace became busy.
Ping'er was also very relieved to see the empress finally cheer up. "My empress, let me pick out that purple skirt for you? And a white cloak to cover it?"
Every time the emperor saw her, he would praise her beautiful outfit. Sure enough, Concubine Li nodded and said, "Okay."
Ping'er took the young palace maid to the next room to get some clothes. The young eunuch at the door came in again and announced, "Madam, Madam Ruan is here to pay her respects to you. Look?"
The young eunuch hesitated, waiting for Concubine Li to speak, but he heard nothing. He looked up and saw Concubine Li frowning, as if she was having some ideological struggle.
When Concubine Li heard the eunuch's report, the first thought in her mind was what the prince had said to her. Madam Ruan was her sister, but she was also Ruan Liuzheng's mother. And that day, Ruan Liuzheng really moved the emperor's heart. I wonder if Madam Ruan added fuel to the fire?
If she were to ask herself, even if the prince did not seem to be very close to her, if she had to choose between Madam Ruan and the prince, she would choose the prince without hesitation, and she thought her sister would be the same.
"Let her go. Just say I have a headache right now. There's still time to talk after the banquet starts." Concubine Li ordered with a determined heart.
"Yes." The young eunuch hurried back to the palace gate and looked at Madam Ruan who was pacing anxiously. "Empress Li is not available right now. She said that she will have the opportunity to speak at the banquet later."
Madam Ruan clutched her handkerchief tightly, and after listening to the eunuch's words, she managed a forced smile. "Excuse me, eunuch. I'm sorry for not thinking carefully enough. I'm sure the queen is busy preparing for the banquet right now."
As soon as the voice fell, Mrs. Ruan's mother, Zhou, who was following her, also quickly handed over a heavy purse, "Father, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."
The young eunuch smiled and declined briefly, then naturally put the money into his sleeve pocket. "Thank you, madam. I'll tell the queen later that you've been waiting here for a long time."
Mrs. Ruan nodded. Although she was disdainful in her heart, she still looked grateful.
It's a pity. She has been preparing her words at home for several days, but it seems that she may not have the chance to say it today. However, she is still confident that Concubine Li will treat her as before in the end, because no one knows this sister better than her. She is simple-minded and easily influenced.
There are plenty of opportunities.

The Gu family also came to attend the banquet today, and their seats were much closer to the front than the last time they came to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. After all, their status has changed. Now the title in the front is no longer the family of the Minister of Personnel, but the family of the future Crown Princess.
Anyone who sees this will have to say that power is indeed a good thing. No wonder everyone wants to climb up.
Gu Qinghe came today with her grandmother and mother. As soon as she entered the palace, she was taken to the Empress Dowager by Nanny Lin who had been guarding the palace gate.
Speaking of which, this was Bai's first time to attend a banquet in the palace, so she was inevitably a little nervous. Even the old lady breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. However, her daughter was walking on the palace road calmly, as if she was very familiar with it.
After passing through the Imperial Garden and Yufu Palace, walk forward for about half a quarter of an hour and you will reach Yongshou Palace.
Coincidentally, on the palace road, he also met Ruan Liuzheng's mother. She looked like she came from Yufu Palace, but it seemed that she did not get what she wanted from her sister, Concubine Li.
"Madam, Madam, Third Miss, we're here now." Nanny Lin smiled and continued to lead the group forward.
When they arrived at the main hall, the Empress Dowager was already waiting there. She hadn't seen Gu Qinghe since the last time at Xiangguo Temple. However, she heard that the Crown Prince took advantage of the time when the girl was adding makeup to Yunhua to go to Prince Yan's Mansion, which was considered taking advantage of the opportunity.
This is what men are like. If you keep seeing someone you don't like around him every day, he will feel annoyed. But if you like someone, he will be willing to do anything for him.
From this perspective, Gu Qinghe is lucky. She will have the supreme status and the love of her husband; but in the end, she can only passively accept it.
Although this is her grandson, she still feels that it is not easy for Gu Qinghe. In fact, it is not easy for any woman to be favored by the royal family.
The Empress Dowager looked at the girl who was getting closer and closer, and thought to herself that since she had entered the palace and she had contributed a lot, she should take on more responsibility and take better care of her as much as possible.
Putting aside this, just looking at her pretty and charming appearance made her happy.
"Empress Dowager, a distinguished guest has arrived." Nanny Lin's voice came as she lifted the cotton curtain.
"Greetings to the Empress Dowager." After the three members of the Gu family bowed and greeted the Empress Dowager, they sat down according to their age.
The Queen Mother first exchanged a few words with the old lady, then asked about Bai's baby Gu Feng, who was just over four months old. After some praise, she was finally going to speak to her granddaughter-in-law.
"Qinghe, come and sit next to me." The Queen Mother said, waving at Gu Qinghe with a warm and kind face.
This was the first time in Gu Qinghe's life that he saw an extremely familiar smile from his previous life on the face of the Empress Dowager. Yes, he was now the Empress Dowager's own person, so naturally it was different from the previous times.
Gu Qinghe knew the Queen Mother's character very well. If she wanted to be nice to you, just accept it. If you politely refused, she would only think it was pretentious and the most unpleasant thing.
"Yes, I have overstepped my bounds." Gu Qinghe stood up, bowed, and sat down next to the empress dowager with a smile.
