As soon as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Nanny Lin came up to the Crown Princess holding a small box.

"Open it and take a look. I've prepared it a long time ago, just waiting for this day." The Queen Mother smiled and raised her hand. "I gave you a bracelet in a hurry before, but this one was carefully selected by the Royal Grandmother."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinghe first stood up and thanked the Queen Mother, then opened it to see a lot of bracelets, some clear, some emerald, some white jade, some jadeite, some amethyst...

"Grandmother, this is too much. My granddaughter-in-law dare not accept it."

The Queen Mother waved her hand. "This is the only hobby I have. I hope you like it too. When the time comes, we can search together to kill time. It would be nice."

Xiao Jingheng took a look and thought, forget it, he had prepared a pair of bracelets for the Crown Princess. Now, it was too late to give it to her and she couldn’t show it to the Crown Princess.

"Please accept it. The Empress Dowager will give you another good thing." The Empress Dowager smiled mysteriously. After Gu Qinghe thanked her, she waved her hand again. Seeing this, Nanny Li also turned around to get the thing.

Jamel Xiao watched from the side and couldn't get a word in.

"Qinghe, you know that your father hasn't chosen a successor since the late Empress passed away." The Empress Dowager suddenly became serious. "Of course, in my opinion, the beauties in the harem are fine for serving the Emperor, but they are not qualified to take on the responsibilities of Empress."

Gu Qinghe knew that the Queen Mother was about to hand over the power of the harem, so she did not answer, but just listened with a smile.

The Empress Dowager saw the Crown Princess's expression and knew that her grandson's wife was a clever one. She smiled and continued, "As for me, I'm over sixty and my energy is limited. You are the Crown Princess, and sooner or later, this future harem will be under your control."

"Grandmother, your granddaughter-in-law dare not interfere in other people's affairs. The current harem is my father's harem, and all the people living in it are my father's concubines." Gu Qinghe said calmly.

You can't just take over right away with a smile. Even if you want to abdicate, you have to give up the throne three times.

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager extended her hand and nodded towards the Crown Princess, saying with a smile, "Look at you, there's no need to refuse. We are family, so let's not talk nonsense."

After saying this, Nanny Li placed the golden box containing the phoenix seal next to the Empress Dowager and stepped aside with a smile.

"Your father didn't confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort, nor did he confer the title of Noble Consort, so there's no such thing as a Vice Consort. All the concubines in this palace are the same now." The Empress Dowager finished speaking and looked at Gu Qinghe with a smile, "Crown Princess, you should understand, right?"

"Yes, then please give your granddaughter-in-law more advice, Grandmother." Gu Qinghe nodded and smiled.

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction. She said, the Crown Princess seems to be very smart and will definitely not give away such power.

"Come here and take it." The Queen Mother picked up the Phoenix Seal and handed it to Gu Qinghe who came to her. "Keep it well, it will be of great use."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." After bowing solemnly, Gu Qinghe took the phoenix seal from the Empress Dowager's hand and thought to herself: It's different now. In her previous life, she didn't have such great power.

"Well, now the stone that was pressing on my heart has finally fallen to the ground. You don't have to feel burdened. Your father also agrees." The Empress Dowager said with a smile, holding up a cup of tea, looking very leisurely.

"My granddaughter-in-law will try her best to live up to the trust that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have placed in me." Gu Qinghe said.

Xiao Jingheng looked at the interaction between his daughter-in-law and grandmother, feeling a little surprised. Why did she have to take care of more households?

On second thought, with the Phoenix Seal, her mother shouldn't dare to embarrass her, which is also a good thing.

"Your father should have told you to go to Yufu Palace to take a look, right?" The Empress Dowager asked after putting down her teacup.

"Yes." Gu Qinghe and Xiao Jingheng said in unison.

After the words fell, Gu Qinghe glanced at Xiao Jingheng in silence. She had been talking to the Empress Dowager, so why did the Dog Prince suddenly speak?

Jamel Xiao just smiled back, feeling happy.

The Queen Mother looked at the two people looking at each other and laughed, "Okay, then go and take a look. After all, she is the Crown Prince's mother."

"Then please rest, Empress Dowager." Gu Qinghe said, standing up and bowing. Yingchun followed behind with the phoenix seal in her hand, unable to contain her joy.

Oh my God, the day after their girl got married, she got what all women in the world envy the most.

When I go back to my parents' home tomorrow, if the third lady is still at home, won't she be so envious that her eyes will pop out of her eyes?

Soon, the group arrived at the Yufu Palace where Concubine Li lived. Normally, the first big event in the harem today was that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess came to pay their respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and they would definitely come to see Concubine Li as well.

However, the Yufu Palace was still quiet, and there was no sign of welcoming guests.

Xiao Jingheng and Gu Qinghe stood at the gate of Yufu Palace. Gu Qinghe looked up at the spring scenery around them. The plants were beginning to sprout.

Her mind was obviously not on Concubine Li.

"Your servant pays respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

"Go and pass the message." Xiao Jingheng pointed at the eunuch guarding the door.

At this time, the eunuch guarding the gate trembled and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Li has not yet risen. She fell ill yesterday and has not been able to sit up since then."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinghe chuckled and then looked away.

"Why do you feel unwell? Is it a headache again?" Xiao Jingheng's face darkened and he asked in a cold voice.

The young eunuch was so frightened that he almost tucked his head into his neck and whispered, "To answer your Highness, it is this old headache."

"That's really strange! This is the first time I've heard that Concubine Li has this headache problem." Gu Qinghe smiled faintly and looked at Xiao Jingheng, "Your Highness, when did Concubine Li start having headaches?"

Since when? Xiao Jingheng thought it was probably from last year when he began to refuse her offer of Ruan Liuzheng.

"I'm not sure either." Xiao Jingheng said, "Since Mother is unwell, I should naturally accommodate her. Then, shall we not disturb Mother today?"

"That's a bit rude." Gu Qinghe said with a chuckle. She wanted to go in and see what Concubine Li looked like at the moment. Was she still acting like a mother-in-law?

"Han Desheng, go and tell Concubine Li that you don't want to disturb her rest and that you are going back to the East Palace today." Xiao Jingheng raised his hand and pointed at Han Desheng.

Han Desheng was watching the fun here, who knew that the fun would come to him?

"Yes, I'll go right away. Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, please move on first." Han Desheng said with a smile, and then walked towards the Yufu Palace.
