Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Princess Jin listened to the Prince of Jin's playful laughter and glanced at him from the side. Seeing that he didn't react, she continued, "Concubine Gu, it's been almost two months since you came here. How are you adjusting?"

"In reply to your question, Princess, I have adapted quite well." Gu Ruoxing replied with a smile.

"That's good. After all, you are the sister of the future Crown Princess. If I don't take good care of you, it would be my fault." Princess Jin nodded with a smile.

"Your dress today is very beautiful." Princess Jin naturally noticed the difference in Gu Ruoxing, but she had never met Gu Qinghe, so she naturally couldn't say anything. She just gave a simple compliment.

After all, there weren't many things about Gu Ruoxing that were worthy of her praise.

"Thank you, Princess. This was made before I came to the palace. If you like it, I will send you a few pieces." Gu Ruoxing smiled ingratiatingly, but she was disdainful in her heart.

Unexpectedly, before the princess could say anything, Prince Jin spoke first, "No need, keep those clothes for yourself."

How dare you give your concubine's clothes to your wife?!

I can't believe it. Could Gu Ruoxing and Gu Qinghe, daughters from the same family, be so different? Was Gu Qinghe really that worthy of the Crown Prince being so flustered?

Gu Ruoxing also realized her mistake at this time and quickly stood up and knelt on the ground again, "Please forgive me, my lord and princess. I spoke without restraint and did not mean anything else."

Prince Jin didn't say anything. The princess smiled and asked the maid beside her to help her up. "It's okay. It's New Year's Day. There's no need to be so nervous."

"Thank you, Princess." Gu Ruoxing sat back and lowered her head again.

After struggling to hold on until the show was over, Gu Ruoxing held Xing'er's hand and hurried to her residence, but was unexpectedly stopped by Eunuch Qian who was beside Prince Jin.

"Concubine Gu, the prince asked me to come and inform you that I will stay at your place tomorrow night." Eunuch Qian said with a smile.

Xing'er was overjoyed at this moment. If the concubine could please the prince, it wouldn't be so difficult. She hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, eunuch. It's very troublesome for you."

Gu Ruoxing was also a little dazed at this time. She didn't even give the prince any intentional look, but the prince came to her.

Why? Gu Ruoxing raised her hand and saw the clothes she was wearing for the first time.

Whatever happened in the northwestern frontier would not reach the capital for a while.

In the capital, people from all over the country have been busy visiting relatives and friends and building relationships since the second day of the Chinese New Year.

The Gu family was naturally no exception. Moreover, because Gu An returned to Beijing to serve as the Minister of Personnel, and his daughter Gu Qinghe was betrothed to the Crown Prince, the Gu family became even more popular in the capital.

From morning to evening, the gatekeeper never stopped, going back and forth between the gate and the front yard.

The three Gu An brothers were busy entertaining guests in the front yard, and the women in the backyard were also busy as they had endless female guests to entertain.

Gu Qinghe was with his mother, Li and Wang, because there were always ladies from different families who brought their own daughters with them, and Wang was unwilling to bring her concubine's daughter with her, so all the work fell on Gu Qinghe.

Among these girls, some were girls that Gu Qinghe had never seen in his two lifetimes, while others he liked from the bottom of his heart, such as Chen Jingzhi who was sitting opposite him.

"Sister Qinghe—" Chen Jingzhi looked at Gu Qinghe and asked cautiously, "Can I still call you that?"

"Of course, you can call me whatever you want." Gu Qinghe replied with a faint smile.

Chen Jingzhi then smiled and thought to herself: In fact, she prefers to call me sister-in-law, but it's a pity that she will never have the chance in this life.

Madam Chen sat aside, talking to several ladies of the Gu family. Seeing her daughter chatting with Gu Qinghe, she was very happy. There were many benefits for her daughter to be on good terms with the future queen.

"Sister Qinghe, I really like the jade pendant you asked my mother to give me last time." Chen Jingzhi said, and began to rummage in her sleeve pocket, and then took out a ring, "I asked someone to make this, sister, please accept it."

Gu Qinghe met her earnest gaze, took it, and put it on his right index finger. "Thank you, it looks great, I like it very much."

Chen Jingzhi smiled and shook her head. "I have many. It would be best if my sister likes them. I also gave one to Sister Liu Yinshuang."

Wang looked at Mrs. Chen and her daughter, who were sitting here without any grudges, and she began to feel unbalanced again.

In particular, Mrs. Chen came to the house a while ago and said a lot of nonsense to the old lady, which made the old lady very dissatisfied with her.

Now she came to pay New Year's greetings again, and brought her daughter with her. Wang could naturally see what Mrs. Chen was thinking, and she looked down on her even more.

"Mrs. Chen, how old is your daughter?" Wang asked with a smile.

"She is just fourteen years old this year, but actually she is only twelve. She was born in the twelfth lunar month." Mrs. Chen replied with a smile.

Wang didn't want to hear Mrs. Chen's answer at all. She had her own story waiting in her mind. "Oh, that's great! I've heard that your son is the Crown Prince's study partner. I guess Miss Jingzhi has had more than one brother protecting her since she was a child."

Upon hearing this, Bai's face first turned cold, but Gu Qinghe's face was full of smiles. She looked at Wang and said, "Listen to what Third Aunt said. It's really easy to be misunderstood. Aren't you afraid that Miss Chen's reputation will be ruined in your hands? You won't be able to afford the compensation then."

Wang smiled faintly, "We're just chatting, there's no need to make a big deal out of it, as my niece said."

"Auntie, we have to be careful with what we say in our daily lives. Otherwise, if we make a mistake one day, when the Jinyiwei catch you, you can just chat with them. They won't care about that. They will only care whether you said it or not." Chen Jingzhi said crisply.

Wang was a little embarrassed for a moment. Why did this child speak? It was like she was interrogating a criminal. She hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet when she heard the child speak again.

"My mother just said that I was born prematurely in the twelfth lunar month and basically grew up indoors. I even rarely saw my own brother."

Mrs. Chen nodded in satisfaction, then said to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Bai, "Oh, the years after she was born really exhausted our family. So after that, we haven't had any more children. We were really scared."

Seeing this, Wang Shi didn't want to stay here any longer. She coughed twice and then stood up. "Mrs. Chen, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I'm feeling a little unwell right now. I'll go back first. You guys continue chatting."

Everyone in the room stood up and walked a few steps to see her off. After Wang had left, Chen Jingzhi suddenly said, "Sister Qinghe, your Third Aunt is really annoying. She always tries to sow discord when others have nothing to do with her."

"This kind of person is so bored that he gets bored if he doesn't cause trouble all day. Your uncle should divorce him to prevent him from affecting your reputation in the future."
