Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry
Chapter 20: The Mindset of a Father-in-law
Xiao Jingheng was counting the days, waiting for the day when the Empress Dowager would summon Gu Qinghe into the palace. Right now, he had finished the article left by the Grand Tutor and was distracted.
"Your Highness, look here, these are the clothes that have just been delivered by the Clothing Bureau." Han Desheng came over and said with a smile on his face, followed by a little eunuch holding a tray.
In the past, the prince would wear whatever his subordinates prepared. But a few days ago, he unexpectedly asked someone from the Clothing Bureau to come over and made a few requests.
Xiao Jingheng said "hmm" lightly, then put down the brush in his hand, stood up and looked at the collar of the clothes on the tray, nodded with satisfaction, "Han Desheng, look at the reward."
"Yes." Han Desheng looked up from the prince's calligraphy. The paper was covered with the word "禾". Thinking of the green rice seedlings on his collar, he couldn't help but wonder, could the prince's love at first sight be so strong? Was his love so deep?
In the past, he had seen men fall in love at first sight, but the love would fade with time. Why was the prince's love still deepening?
"Has the Empress Dowager's Palace been so bustling these days?" Xiao Jingheng asked casually.
"In reply to Your Highness, it's spring now, and all of the Empress Dowager's old friends have come into the palace to chat with her. It's really lively." Han Desheng replied with a bow.
Among them, many old ladies brought their granddaughters and granddaughters to the palace, and some even brought their cousins. All the women within the five mourning periods had walked through Shoukang Palace once. It can be said that the real purpose was not to drink...
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingheng's face darkened. With so many people pestering the Empress Dowager, how could she have the time to summon Gu Qinghe?
He held his forehead and felt a headache. Gu would be coming of age in a month or so...
"Eunuch Han, Miss Ruan is outside. She said she came to deliver snacks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the orders of Concubine Li." The voice of the little eunuch broke the silence in the hall.
Han Desheng frowned and waved his whisk to drive the eunuch away. "Next time you report, ask me to go out and talk. You have been in the East Palace for two months, and you haven't learned the rules yet?"
"I know my crime."
Han Desheng turned around and looked at His Royal Highness the Emperor, who was pressing his temple. "Your Highness, what do you think of Miss Ruan?"
"I'm practicing calligraphy. Tell her to go back. She doesn't have to come to see me off in person in the future. Just let my mother send the palace maids to run errands." Xiao Jingheng said lightly.
"Yes." Han Desheng looked at the papers full of "禾" characters on the desk and retreated outside the hall. Sure enough, he saw Miss Ruan standing on tiptoe looking inside. He walked over with a smile and first took the tray from the maid.
"Miss Ruan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell you that he is practicing calligraphy and cannot be distracted. From now on, you can let the palace maids do this kind of errands. You don't have to come in person." Han Desheng said with a smile, then lowered his head and made a gesture to see the guest off.
"This is what my aunt and I made for my cousin the prince..." Before Ruan Liuzheng could finish her words, she was interrupted by Han Desheng with a smile.
"Yes, Concubine Li and Miss Ruan have worked so hard, they need to rest." Han Desheng smiled, which made Ruan Liuzheng very angry, but he was a favorite of his cousin the Crown Prince, so he couldn't say anything and could only force an ugly smile.
"Then I'll trouble you, Eunuch Han."
"Then I won't see you off. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot do without someone by his side." Han Desheng smiled and nodded, then returned to the main hall.
"Tell Zhang Wen or Zhang Wu to come back. I have something to tell you." Xiao Jingheng's fingers tapped the table rhythmically. What happened to General Zhenyuan and his son? It's been a strange accident. They've been missing for a year, and there's no news. Were they captured, or have their heads and bodies been separated? Is this related to the Prince of Jin?
After Xiao Jingheng gave Zhang Wu his instructions, he looked at the still bright sky outside and felt that the days were passing so slowly.
------
At the Gu Mansion, Gu Qinghe was accompanying her mother in sewing, making footwear and bellybands for children. She looked at her mother's increasingly bulging belly and felt that time was passing by so quickly.
"Qinghe, you did better than your mother." Mrs. Bai said with a smile as she looked at the bellyband in her daughter's hand.
The bellyband in Gu Qinghe's hand was embroidered with lifelike lotus and dragonflies, and the edges were tied with red thread, which made people happy when they saw it.
"Of course I have to put my heart into it when I'm making it for my younger brother or sister." Gu Qinghe replied with a chuckle.
Although she was smiling on the surface, she felt bitter in her heart, because only she knew that she once had a child without destiny. What kind of mood did she have at that time when she was looking forward to him/her coming into this world?
Two suitcases were filled with the children's clothes, shoes and socks alone.
"Where are Madam and Miss?" Gu An's voice came from outside. It seemed that he had finished giving Lu Wangzhou special treatment.
In the past half month, Lu Wangzhou came to Gu An from time to time to discuss current affairs and politics, and Gu An's appreciation for him was even greater than when he was in Dengzhou.
"In reply to the master, the mistress and the young lady are both embroidering in the room."
Gu Qinghe helped Bai stand up, and Gu An just stepped over the threshold, "Father."
Gu An nodded, "Someone came over from the old lady's place just now and asked us to go over and have dinner together."
Upon hearing this, Bai frowned, "Husband, today is not the first or fifteenth day of the month..."
Gu Qinghe was also puzzled. After all, he and his mother were not considered to be pleasing to his grandmother. In the past, even if his grandmother wanted to have fun, she would only invite people from the eldest wife's house to join in. After all, the eldest wife's house was in charge of the family, so it was easy to justify it.
"I'm not very clear about the details, but it's not our family's business." Gu An leisurely picked up a cup of tea, took a few sips, and spoke calmly.
Bai looked at her husband suspiciously and said calmly, "Really? I think he's here for us."
"Let's not talk about this nonsense for now. I've been watching this kid Wangzhou for some time and he really is a talented person." As Gu An spoke, he seemed to be looking at his daughter's face vaguely.
Well, since his daughter's face showed no emotion, he knew that his daughter was still in love.
"What? Do you have any ideas?" After all, they are two different people who can sleep in the same bed, so Bai naturally knew what her husband meant.
"Ah, it's not mature yet. Let me wait and see. We shouldn't rush into this matter." Gu An wanted to say something but didn't want to say it anymore. Maybe this is the mentality of a father-in-law. He usually feels good about the person, but when he really has to involve the person with his daughter, he feels uncomfortable, even if he has watched the person grow up.
Gu Qinghe listened to the conversation between his parents and secretly thought, Lu Wangzhou, is he the future minister to the emperor?
