Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry
Chapter 171 That's a charlatan
After the Empress Dowager scolded Concubine Li, she let her return to her seat.
Not long after Concubine Li sat down, the Emperor rewarded Concubine Wang, who had recently become pregnant. While everyone was chatting, Madam Ruan came over and asked, "Your Majesty, what does the Empress Dowager want to see you about?"
Concubine Li was feeling sullen at the moment. Seeing her sister, Madam Ruan, she didn't say anything good. "How can I tell you about the royal family's affairs?"
If Ruan Liuzheng were still alive, he might have taken a radical approach and used her as a support to cling to the emperor.
Just like the young and pregnant Wang Jieyu right now...
She wasn't so forgetful about food and punishment. "If you have nothing else to do, go back and sit down. The Emperor should have given his orders by now."
Mrs. Ruan never expected that her sister accidentally killed her daughter and felt no guilt towards her.
"Yes, if Your Majesty is bored, you can ask someone to call me in to chat with you to cheer you up." Before getting up, Madam Ruan patted Concubine Li on the back, just like she used to do when they were young.
Concubine Li looked up at her and said nothing.
When Madam Ruan stood up, she met the eyes of Gu Qinghe opposite her. The other party had a blank expression, as if it was just a coincidence, but Madam Ruan felt that this future Crown Princess was closely involved in the death of her daughter.
At the end of the banquet, the emperor raised three more glasses of wine, which brought the New Year's Eve banquet to an end.
The crowd attending the banquet started to walk out one by one, from the end of the line to the front. Xiao Jingheng watched Gu Qinghe supporting her grandmother as they walked out, and then thought of her harsh words to him in the yard just now. He rubbed the pocket of his sleeve, where the amulet was placed. He had been waiting for this day to give it to her.
"Your Highness..." Han Desheng saw that Miss Gu San's back had disappeared at the entrance of the hall, and hurriedly reminded her that the prince still had some things to do. He knew that if he failed to do it by then, he would have to face the prince's cold face for a few days.
However, before he could finish shouting, he saw the prince walking out with big strides. He shook his head and trotted after him.
Xiao Jingheng had just been splashed with cold water by Gu Qinghe. If it were in the past, he would definitely not move forward, but it was different now. He had been unfair to her in the first place, so it was understandable that she wanted to vent her anger.
So, he strode to Gu Qinghe's side and said, "Third Miss, please stay."
Before Gu Qinghe could react, her grandmother turned around and said with a smile, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Gu Qinghe couldn't help but sigh, "Your Highness, it's late at night. My grandmother is old and is anxious to go home and rest. What's the urgent matter?"
Seeing her straightforward look, Xiao Jingheng didn't feel angry anymore, "I went to Xiangguo Temple a while ago and asked for a peace amulet, and I've been waiting to give it to you today."
When Gu Qinghe heard that it was the old monk from Xiangguo Temple again, she knew that the man had taken a lot of benefits from the palace.
"I don't believe in gods or Buddhas, I only believe in myself. Your Highness the Crown Prince is the same. Don't take such words as your guiding principles." Gu Qinghe didn't extend his hand. "In my opinion, he is a charlatan."
Xiao Jingheng naturally knew why Gu Qinghe said that, and extended his hand forward again, "In my opinion, it is better to believe it than not to believe it."
Gu Qinghe still didn't move. Old Madam Gu, who had been listening obediently beside her, stamped her feet in anxiety. How dare this third girl act so arrogantly with the Crown Prince?
Han Desheng saw the prince raising his hand like that, and it didn't seem like that was the case, so he quickly took it and handed it to Yingchun who was behind the third lady.
"Then I will take my leave first." Gu Qinghe bowed, still polite but very cold.
Jamel Xiao nodded and said, "Be careful on the road."
It takes a long time for the ice to freeze three feet thick. Take it slow.

After leaving the palace, the Gu family's carriage was already waiting there. Gu An was also riding a horse, waiting beside the carriage for the female relatives to come out.
But people from other families had come out one after another, but no one was seen at his place yet. He could not help but dismount and pace back and forth.
About half a cup of tea later, Gu An saw the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren coming over. Without listening to the sound, he knew that the old lady was teaching Qinghe again.
He breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, and took the old lady's right arm from Bai's hand. "Mother, this day has been really tiring. Let me help you get in the car. It won't take long, and we'll be home."
As soon as Mrs. Gu saw her son coming up, she told her to rest. She also knew that he didn't want her to say too much to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, but she was the elder of the Gu family, so she had to say it.
"Second brother, I know what you mean, but I still have to say it, otherwise I will feel guilty towards your father a hundred years from now." As the old lady said this, she put a big hat on Gu An.
Gu An just smiled when he heard it. "Mother, what you said is serious. I didn't say anything, but you said I didn't let you speak. Besides, you just need to take care of me, my eldest brother, and my third brother. We should take care of the younger generation's affairs. Even if father complains, it's at his son. You work so hard, he can't thank you enough."
Hearing this, the old lady laughed twice at first, "Otherwise you would be the most promising." Then she dropped her smile and got into the car.
The second sister's words made sense. She was happy and relaxed with one generation taking care of the next. But if she gave up, the second sister's family would be far ahead, while the third sister's family would be in a daze. The gap was too big, and this family would break up sooner or later.
She leaned against the wall of the car, feeling really tired.
When Gu Qinghe and her mother were about to get in the car, Gu An lowered his voice and said, "Just listen, don't take it to heart, or you can just open your mouth slightly."
"Hmm?" Bai looked over in confusion. "You're just opening your mouth but not saying anything?"
"Madam, these seven orifices are connected. Open your mouth to relieve the pressure on your ears. This will help mother's words escape and not go into your heart."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bai raised her hand and pressed the corners of her lips with a handkerchief. Gu Qinghe also pursed her lips and tried to hold back her laughter. As expected, her father was the best at making people happy.
"Qinghe, don't take it to heart. Grandmother just thinks she's the elder and wants to gather the younger generation together and preach big principles." Gu An raised his arm and let Bai hold his arm. "But we all know that life can't be lived by big principles."
Gu Qinghe hummed softly and followed her mother into the car. After both mother and daughter were seated, Gu An instructed the driver, "Wang Da, let's go. Be careful as it gets dark."
"Second Master, don't worry." Wang Da replied with a smile.
"I'll ask the second wife to give you a red envelope later. You've come out to work on New Year's Eve. Thank you for your hard work." Gu An said with a smile.
"Thank you, Second Master." The smile on Wang Da's face was even more obvious, and his white teeth were clearly visible.
"Don't thank me, thank your second wife. Your second master is incorruptible." Gu An laughed loudly.
