Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry
Chapter 168 A man's sincerity grows on his feet
The Empress Dowager looked at Gu Qinghe, who was sitting on her right. When she got closer, she found that she was even more beautiful. She was not like some beauties who looked beautiful from a distance but were just so-so up close.
And when she walked over just now, she exuded such a majestic demeanor. No wonder Li Ma always praised her every time she came back. She really resembled the queen when she was young. I couldn't help but admire in my heart that the prince was right to insist this time. He must have a woman like this.
"Do you like the jade bracelet I gave you last time?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile. She was a little anxious at the time and just wanted to take out something substantial.
"In reply to the Empress Dowager, I like it very much." Gu Qinghe smiled. Questions from a superior usually have only one answer, which is what she likes to hear and wants to hear.
"That's good. The Empress Dowager has many more jewels here. You can come and choose from them later."
Old Madam Gu looked at the smiling Empress Dowager, exchanged glances with Mrs. Bai, and nodded slightly. At least it was a good thing that the Empress Dowager liked Qinghe.
To live in the palace, one always needs a backer, and the Empress Dowager is the most suitable one. There is no Queen in the palace. Not to mention that Concubine Li is not a proper mother-in-law, there is also the Ruan family involved. Qinghe and Concubine Li cannot get along.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Qinghe stood up and bowed.
When the Empress Dowager heard that Gu Qinghe didn't follow the 'Imperial Grandmother' she had mentioned earlier, she felt that this child was polite and well-mannered. "Madam Lin, what time is it?"
"In reply to the Empress Dowager, it is already the end of the afternoon and it is almost time to go to the banquet ahead," replied Nanny Lin.
"Let's go over too." The Queen Mother said as she stood up. Gu Qinghe naturally reached out to help her slightly. The smile on the Queen Mother's face became more obvious, and she patted Gu Qinghe's hand.

The Empress Dowager did not ride in the sedan chair, but wanted to walk with Old Lady Gu. This surprised Old Lady Gu even more. Of course, she knew that the Empress Dowager was not doing this for her, but to give face to Qinghe.
"Empress Dowager, I'm truly ashamed of your treatment of me." Old Madam Gu was flattered. "You'd better take the sedan chair."
"No need." The Queen Mother waved her hand, still looking straight ahead, walking straight forward. After turning a red wall, she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
If you say he is familiar, the person who came is her good grandson, the prince; if you say he is unfamiliar, since the imperial decree granting the marriage was issued, the child has not been paying his respects to the Yongshou Palace as frequently as before. Of course, she also feels that once every three days is too noisy, so once every five or six days is just right.
He definitely didn't come here for her this time. Just looking at the way he kept looking behind her, you could tell that he came to see his fiancée.
It is said that this man's true heart is in his feet, which makes sense.
Xiao Jingheng came to the banquet from the East Palace, but did not see any women from the Gu family. Only Gu An was there, chatting and chatting with his colleagues. When he saw his future father-in-law, he naturally went up to say hello. He didn't expect that once he went over, it would be difficult to get away.
After much difficulty, I found an excuse to leave the banquet hall and planned to go to the Empress Dowager's Palace to have a few words with her, but I didn't expect that they had already left.
"Grandson pays his respects to the Empress Dowager." Xiao Jingheng bowed and greeted.
Gu Qinghe stood behind Bai, listening to the Dog Prince speak, sneering in his heart: What a grandson, and then followed suit and saluted.
"No need for formalities, Your Highness. Why are you coming here in such a hurry?" The Queen Mother asked with a chuckle, looking at the thin layer of sweat on the prince's forehead.
"Come and pick up the Empress Dowager to go to the banquet together." After Xiao Jingheng finished speaking, he nodded to Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Bai beside him.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager glanced at Nanny Lin, who simply pursed her lips and said, "Grandmother, you are quite surprised. Usually, your father would come to pick you up when he is free. But with the Crown Prince coming here, this is truly the first time a young lady has gotten into a sedan chair."
This was said intentionally, because after observing the prince several times, the empress dowager felt that although the prince liked Gu Qinghe, the girl seemed to have something between them and was unwilling to open up to him, so she said this mainly to highlight Gu Qinghe's specialness.
Looking at Gu Qinghe again at this moment, she still had a decent smile on her face, without any sign of embarrassment. It was really strange, wasn't this girl in love?
From his status to his looks, temperament, and character, how could her grandson not be an outstanding person?
The Queen Mother looked up at the Crown Prince again. Sure enough, she still wanted to talk to Gu Qinghe. Oh, maybe in the way he handled the marriage, his character didn't seem so good...
She can't take care of this. They have to close the door and solve it between the two of them. As long as her granddaughter-in-law treats her well, it's enough. She is old and can't take care of so many things.
Besides, each generation is responsible for its own generation. The prince still has his father, who is the one who has the final say.

Xiao Jingheng walked on the left side of the empress dowager, holding her forearm, and Gu Qinghe was right behind him, following his steps. Although the two did not communicate, and even their eyes only met for a moment when they greeted each other, even though it was not enough, even though he could feel her alienation from him, Xiao Jingheng felt a sense of security in his heart. At least, she was good to the Empress Dowager and did not resist the royal family.
Then he just tried his best to make her see his feelings clearly. She was kind and generous, so her heart couldn't be made of stone.
There was no conversation along the way until they arrived at the Taihe Palace, where the New Year's Eve banquet was held. The young eunuchs began to sing in unison: "The Empress Dowager has arrived - the Crown Prince has arrived -"
Everyone stood up and knelt to pay their respects, shouting "Long live the Buddha!"
After they sat down, the emperor had not yet arrived, and everyone was still greeting each other. From this, one could tell which family was on good terms with which.
Gu Qinghe looked at Concubine Li who was sitting diagonally opposite him. She was looking at him. Gu Qinghe just nodded and smiled, then looked away and went to find Madam Ruan.
This future Crown Princess didn't even say a word to herself. Who in the world doesn't know that the current Crown Prince crawled out of her belly?
He shows that he doesn't take the prince's biological mother seriously, and he hasn't even gotten married yet. After the wedding, won't he climb over her head and act tyrannically?
Is this what the imperial edict said: be upright and decent, be polite and generous?
Concubine Li sat upright behind the table. The voices in the hall were like the buzzing of flies, and she felt extremely annoyed.
The princess chosen by the prince himself is not an honest person at first glance. I have heard from Ruan Liuzheng before that Gu Qinghe knows some martial arts. How can this be something a lady should learn?
A lady should be gentle and considerate, like a willow in the wind.
How could the Emperor give such a woman to the Crown Prince? Concubine Li thought about it and suddenly sneered. Yes, the late Empress had to go through a lot with the Emperor before she entered the palace. She was afraid that her son would suffer again, and by the way, she was using her son to make up for her own regrets.
