Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Gu Qinghe hadn't seen what was written on the fortune stick he had drawn yet. Looking at the monk's mysterious expression, he became even more curious.

"Master, what do you mean by this?" Gu Qinghe asked with a smile.

"Please look, benefactor." As he said this, the abbot handed the wooden stick in his hand to her.

Gu Qinghe took a closer look and saw a few words written in small regular script: "The phoenix finally lands on the Jade Terrace, and the parasol tree begins to reflect the sunlight."

She felt as if the sea was rushing towards her, and her breathing was slightly unstable, but she still asked, "Master, what does this mean?"

"Donor, there must be a cause for every effect. Everything in the world is cyclical, but there is always a turning point and a happy ending. Otherwise, no matter how many times you reincarnate, you will only fall into the same situation." After the abbot finished speaking, he shook his head and left.

Transfer?

Gu Qinghe suppressed his emotions, smiled faintly, and stepped aside, "Third Aunt, please come in."

Gu Ruoxing was incredibly curious at this moment. What exactly was written on the wooden stick in Gu Qinghe's hand? It was surprising that the abbot, who was revered as a master by the noble families, had come out to interpret the stick himself.

The fortunes drawn by Wang's mother and daughter all expressed the same theme: "Everything depends on fate."

Wang's expression was normal, but Gu Ruoxing couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

Everything is up to fate. This sentence is really appropriate. Didn’t fate just come to us?

The women of the Gu family had a vegetarian meal at the temple and donated a large sum of money before setting out on their journey home.

Since Gu Qinghe was reborn, except for the few days when he went to school, he would take a nap for half an hour every afternoon. At this moment, he was drowsy in the carriage.

Mrs. Bai looked at her daughter's seemingly carefree face, took out the wooden stick from her hand, looked at it, and frowned even more tightly.

Although she didn't really believe in the fortune-telling and interpretation of divination, it was better to believe it than not to believe it.

He put the wooden stick back into his daughter's sleeve pocket, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself.

In Shoukang Palace, Xiao Jingheng was waiting for the Empress Dowager to come inside the hall. He came directly to the palace from Dingguo Temple.

"Madam Lin, has the Empress Dowager finished packing now?" Xiao Jingheng's tone was a little anxious, which surprised Madam Lin.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been mature and steady, it is rare to see him looking so anxious.

"In reply to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Empress Dowager will be here soon." Nanny Lin put down the tray in her hand and placed the teacup in front of the Crown Prince.

Xiao Jingheng said "hmm" lightly, then picked up the teacup and sipped it, intermittently and a little absent-mindedly.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother is here." Han Desheng's voice sounded in his ears.

Xiao Jingheng cleared his throat and stood properly, "Grandson pays his respects to the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother looked at him and smiled, "Sit down and talk."

After the grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, the empress dowager was not in a hurry, but just waited for Xiao Jingheng to speak.

Xiao Jingheng was also puzzled. In the past, the Empress Dowager would talk about the Crown Princess every two out of three sentences. Why was she so quiet today?

"Prince, do you have anything else to say?" The Queen Mother said, pretending that she had something else to deal with.

Whenever she mentioned the Crown Princess to him before, he would make excuses for being busy, but now it was her turn.

"Grandmother, I saw Gu An, the third place winner chosen by Grandmother, during the morning court these days. He is a very upright person. I think his daughter will be outstanding as well." Xiao Jingheng's face flushed as he spoke.

"Gu An? I do have some impression of him. He was chosen as the third place in the imperial examination. His daughter resembles her father, so she must be a beautiful girl. A family with a daughter is sought after by hundreds of families. I'm afraid she has been decided long ago, right?" The empress dowager said hesitantly after thinking for a while.

"The Crown Prince has said so much, what does the Empress Dowager want to do?"

Xiao Jingheng thought that Gu Qinghe must have missed an opportunity to see him up close.

Then my top priority is to create an opportunity for the two of them to meet.

"The Empress Dowager will summon her into the palace." Xiao Jingheng lowered his head, and his ears felt hot after he finished speaking.

The Queen Mother heard this and smiled softly, "Okay."

After this matter was done, Xiao Jingheng immediately felt much more refreshed. He stayed in Shoukang Palace for a while and then got up to say goodbye.

Meanwhile, the Gu family returned to the entrance of their alley and discovered that the house next to their mansion seemed to have a new owner.

"This house is not small, and the money needed is not small. This person must have a lot of wealth." Li said in a low voice.

Gu Qinghe and Bai also looked over curiously. She felt that the young man with his back to her looked familiar.

When the man turned around, Bai smiled and said, "Qinghe, your childhood playmate has come to the capital to participate in the Spring Examination."

Gu Qinghe looked over and saw that it was indeed Lu Wangzhou. In his previous life, he entered the Hanlin Academy and later joined the Six Ministries. Did he live near the Gu family?

She had no idea at all.

For the Bai family, Gu Qinghe and Lu Wangzhou had only been separated for a while, but for Gu Qinghe, it was a true reunion between the two, as they had not seen each other for more than ten years.

"Sister He—" Lu Wangzhou blurted out, but seeing the inquiring expressions of the other women, he immediately changed his words, "Miss Gu, how are you?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, you too." Gu Qinghe said in a daze, "How are your preparations going?"

Bai couldn't help but laugh when she heard her daughter's words, "Qinghe, this is Lu Jieyuan, he will definitely pass the imperial examination if he comes to Beijing."

Gu Qinghe nodded. "I'm a little surprised to see you. I didn't expect that after coming to the capital, we would have the fate to be neighbors."

Lu Wangzhou listened to Gu Qinghe's words. Fate? Yes.

"I haven't finished packing today. Once it's done, please invite your family to come and stay." Lu Wangzhou said with a bow.

"Okay, when your uncle Gu comes back, I'll tell him that we live close by, so if there's anything I don't understand about academic matters, it's convenient for me to ask him." Bai said.

"Thank you, aunt." The smile on Lu Wangzhou's face became even wider.

In the alley, Bai didn't say much, so she just gave a few instructions and took her daughter back to the Gu Mansion.

Eldest sister-in-law Li and third brother's sister-in-law Wang were both waiting at the door, staring at Bai and Gu Qinghe with a look of anticipation.

After listening for a while, everyone knew that this man was Gu Qinghe's childhood playmate. Isn't that childhood sweethearts?

"Second sister-in-law, this young man is really handsome." Wang said with a smile, glancing at Gu Qinghe with a teasing look.

"His father, Lord Lu, used to work under my husband." Bai said lightly, not wanting to explain too much.

Don't think she doesn't know. The reason she didn't get angry about Gu Ruoxing's slander against Qinghe at the flower viewing banquet was because it was finally smoothed over by Gu Yueru.

Having just returned to Beijing, Bai didn't want to make things look awkward. After all, her daughter was about to come of age and get married. If there was any unpleasantness, it would get out and make people laugh at her.
