Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 18 It’s hard to violate God’s will

"Your Highness, the person who was talking to Miss Gu San was her uncle's son, Gu Yun." Zhang Wu replied in a low voice.

Xiao Jingheng's expression relaxed slightly, and he turned his head away as if nothing had happened.

"Third sister, are you going to light some incense in the front and pray for a good marriage?" Gu Yun asked with a chuckle.

"Of course, I can't come here in vain. It's my request."

Xiao Jingheng exerted a little force on his hand, then loosened it, but Zhang Wu saw it all.

While the Crown Prince's attention was elsewhere, he glanced at Han Desheng and said, "Manager Han, didn't you say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly decided to come here for a stroll?"

"You're just too naive. You're a rough, dumb, and incompetent person. You're just casually strolling around. There are so many temples in the capital, and yet you just happened to run into this Miss Gu San?"

After Han Desheng finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and looked at the prince's current robe. The robe he had carefully selected this morning was scratched by the branches.

It took me less time to put this on than trying on clothes in front of the mirror this morning.

Alas, what a pity! The emperor specially sent this piece of clothing material to the Eastern Palace, and there are only two pieces in the entire harem.

Xiao Jingheng knew that the person who came here to see her today was not Gu Qinghe, and when he heard that she wanted to find a marriage partner, he became annoyed and had no intention of staying for long.

He turned around and was about to leave, but his clothes were caught by a branch. With a "swish" sound, Xiao Jingheng quickly bent down.

Gu Qinghe vaguely heard some noise, but when he turned around, there was nothing.

"It's probably just some wild animal. Since it's close to the mountain, there are more animals there." Gu Yun said with a smile.

Xiao Jingheng remembered Gu Yun's name this time. He snorted coldly in his heart, broke the thorny branch together, and left with his men.

"Butler Han, as far as I know, this Third Miss Gu has nothing to do with our Crown Prince. Why is she so concerned about it?" Zhang Wu asked, scratching his head.

Han Desheng also had only a vague understanding of the matter. He only knew that the prince happened to meet Miss Gu San when she returned to Beijing. But with such a fleeting glance, did the prince fall in love with her at first sight?

He also couldn't figure it out, "I don't know, don't guess what the master is thinking."

"It seems to me that the prince is here to catch a couple." Zhang Wu said in a low voice.

What is the situation that requires double? Catching an adulterer requires double.

Han Desheng rolled his eyes at him and ignored him, chasing after the prince, muttering, "It's unreasonable that a dog can't spit out ivory."

Xiao Jingheng walked in front with big strides, and Han Desheng trotted all the way, "Your Highness, Your Highness, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Go to Shoukang Palace and pay your respects to the Empress Dowager." Xiao Jingheng said in a cold voice.

Han Desheng curled the corner of his mouth and said, "Is this the effort required to pay respects to the Empress Dowager?"

Xiao Jingheng arrived outside the temple and did not wait for the temple's abbot to come out to see him off. He left two words, "Tell the abbot that I have an urgent matter and will return to the palace first."

"Yes, I will inform the abbot." The monk clasped his hands together and said respectfully.

Xiao Jingheng jumped on his horse, raised his whip, and galloped away.

Gu Ruoxing, who had just returned to the carriage, lifted the window curtain and stared blankly at the direction where Xiao Jingheng left.

"Xing'er, I just saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again. Do you think this is destiny? I didn't want to come here, but my mother said I came here to seek a marriage. Besides, if I had followed my elder sister just now, I wouldn't have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now." Gu Ruoxing said shyly.

"I think so too." Xing'er said with a smile.

"Hurry, hurry, go find mother. I think my elder sister should have finished her fortune-telling. It's time to go and draw lots." Gu Ruoxing looked carefully in the small bronze mirror in Xing'er's hand and nodded with satisfaction.

On this side, Gu Yueru returned to the pavilion with a shy look on her face. Gu Qinghe just smiled, took her arm, and went to find the elders.

Gu Qinghe didn't ask, he must be satisfied, just like in his previous life.

When they arrived at the Zen room, Mrs. Lu looked at them expectantly, but Gu Yueru just shyly sat behind Mrs. Li.

In such a situation, there was no need to explain it clearly, so the mothers of the two families agreed that they would start the six rituals as soon as the matchmaker arrived.

After finishing the business, the group finally had the mind to talk about asking for divination sticks and burning incense.

Mrs. Lu took Lu Gengsheng and went back first.

Wang said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, this Lu family is really good. As the family of the Minister of Works, they have set a good example for the two younger sisters."

Gu Ruoxing listened to her mother's words and felt secretly proud in her heart. She must marry someone better than her elder sister, and she must also step on Gu Qinghe, who had no rules, under her feet.

"Let's go and light some incense." Li said with a smile without responding directly.

"Second sister-in-law, what do you think? The third young lady's coming-of-age ceremony is just a few days away, and it's time to arrange her marriage. My nephew from my mother's side is such a handsome man..." Wang turned her head and looked at Bai and said.

"Oh, it's so good, why not leave it to Ruoxing, wouldn't it be better to strengthen the relationship between the relatives?" Bai asked back.

Wang was speechless. She waved the handkerchief in her hand and said awkwardly, "Ruoxing and my nephew are too familiar with each other. They are just siblings, not husband and wife."

"Qinghe, do you still remember that I helped you pick lotus pods back then? When we were little, he liked you very much."

"Third Aunt, be careful with your words. You can't say things like that. It will ruin your niece's reputation. We are all family members. If that happens, both the eldest and second sisters will be in trouble together."

Gu Qinghe said with a chuckle, but in Wang's eyes, she felt that her niece's eyes were more penetrating than her second sister-in-law's, and she forgot to reply for a moment.

"Yes, third sister-in-law, whoseever the child is, the one who should worry about it. Qinghe's talents are enough to make her a concubine even for the princes in the palace." Li said slowly.

Bai smiled. Ever since she came back from Wen and gave her sister-in-law two thousand taels of silver, her sister-in-law's attitude had changed drastically.

As expected, there is no one in the world who cannot get along with money. Even if they sneer at it on the surface, they are actually flocking to it behind the scenes.

When they arrived in front of the Buddha statue, everyone bowed devoutly, and then came to the fortune-telling box in front of the little monk.

The lots drawn by Li and Gu Yueru were both auspicious, and their wishes came true. Both mother and daughter were very happy.

Bai's fortune was a winning one, and the interpretation was that her children's marriage would be a long and arduous journey, with many worries, but would ultimately be successful.

Gu Qinghe took the bucket and shook it gently, without any desire or expectation in his heart. "Pah--"

A stick fell to the ground. The young monk picked it up with a smile, looked at it carefully, then frowned and said he would ask the abbot to interpret the stick.

After a while, an old and very kind monk came out, took the stick from the little monk's hand, and gently stroked his beard.

"Girl, this is God's will."
