Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 22 Sleeping is more important than marriage

"Yes, what the third lady said makes sense. It's good for two sisters to be together, right?" Wang said with a smile.

In the past few months, Old Lady Gu has also realized what is wrong with her little granddaughter. She really doesn't want to enter the palace, but Gu Ruoxing is full of energy.

However, the angel sent by the Empress Dowager said that the third place winner selected by the late Emperor has returned to Beijing, and the daughter of that third place winner must be extremely knowledgeable and talented, right?

Even the dullest person could hear that this meant that the third place winner was going to meet his daughter, let alone a shrewd person like Old Lady Gu.

Besides, if she brought Ruoxing into the palace, she would have made a fool of herself. If she did so again, wouldn't that be a nuisance to the Empress Dowager? Besides, the Empress Dowager's invitation was a good thing for the Gu family, and no one could stand in the way.

The second wife was unwilling to go, and she had not forced her at the beginning. Now that it was an order from the palace, it would be hard to refuse, right?

"Qinghe, you don't have to be modest. Your second sister will stay at home. She will have plenty of opportunities to enter the palace in the future." Old Lady Gu finally made the tone.

Gu Ruoxing opened her mouth and was about to refute, but was glared at by Wang. She didn't say anything, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future? She is already sixteen, how much time does she have left to wait for the so-called opportunities?

Gu Qinghe was also quite disappointed. Originally, if he had brought Gu Ruoxing, who loved to show off, with him, he could have become perfectly invisible, but the old lady didn't allow it.

The family ate their meal with their own thoughts. At the men's table, Gu An's eldest brother Gu Ting and third brother Gu Hong both complimented him obviously, especially his third brother, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Eldest brother, third brother, our Gu family has always been about studying and becoming officials. It would be better if our children could maintain this tradition in the future." Gu An said, patting the three nephews beside him.

"Of course." Gu Hong smiled, raised his glass and drank it all.

After two cups of tea, Mrs. Gu said she was tired and asked everyone to leave, but kept the people from the second house.

"My husband, what do you think mother means? She hasn't engaged anyone else's daughter either, so why does she have to bring the maid from the second room into the palace?" Wang leaned close to Gu Hong and whispered.

"What other reason could it be? Of course the Empress Dowager wants to meet the third girl." Gu Hong smiled indifferently.

"Father, why don't you talk to grandma and take me with you?" Gu Ruoxing had nothing to hide in front of her family. "Grandma must have kept her here to give Gu Qinghe something good, so that she can enter the palace in a glamorous manner tomorrow, and then be..."

"Sister, grandma has always liked you, but after the third sister came back, you were always ignored. You should think about whether you are not as likable as the third sister?" said the fourteen-year-old Gu Liang.

"How dare you talk like that, kid? This is your own sister!" Wang glanced at Gu Liang while speaking.

"It is precisely because she is my biological sister that I told you so clearly." After saying this, Gu Liang hurried back.

Gu Hong didn't want to waste any more time talking to Wang. With her womanly point of view, she couldn't see that this was a good thing for the entire Gu family. If one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. This is not just talk.

"Mom, how can my brother say that to me? I want to fight for a good future. Won't he be the one who benefits from it?" Gu Ruoxing said, and sighed.

"He is still young and doesn't know anything. You don't have to worry about him." Wang said, holding her daughter's shoulders.

"I don't care about him. Gu Qinghe, I can't control her. She will enter the palace tomorrow. What if the Empress Dowager takes a fancy to her and assigns her to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or the Crown Prince takes a fancy to her directly? She has nothing to do, so why would she stay so beautiful..." Gu Ruoxing couldn't continue after saying this.

"Don't talk nonsense. The Empress Dowager is not that careless. Besides, it is the Emperor who moves freely in the palace. The possibility of her being favored by the old Emperor is much greater than what you said." Wang wiped the tears from the corners of Gu Ruoxing's eyes with a handkerchief, and the mother and daughter went back under the cover of night.

It was a late spring night, still chilly. Gu Qinghe sat next to the old lady, waiting for Mother Liu to bring the things the old lady had asked for.

"Sister He, although this is your first time in the palace, just follow behind your grandmother tomorrow and nothing will go wrong." Old Lady Gu said, patting Gu Qinghe's hand affectionately.

"Yes." Gu Qinghe replied.

"Mother, why did the Queen Mother say she wanted to meet Qinghe?" Gu An asked.

"The Empress Dowager heard that you were the last scholar selected by the late emperor before his death. Now that you have returned to the capital, she wants to see your daughter and reminisce about the late emperor." said Old Lady Gu.

Upon hearing this, Gu An nodded and felt a little relieved. The Empress Dowager and the late emperor had a deep affection for each other, and it was reasonable for her to use this incident to commemorate the late emperor.

Bai didn't say anything. Seeing her husband breathe a sigh of relief, she felt a little relieved. Although she didn't know why her daughter was so reluctant to go to the palace, she would definitely listen to her daughter.

"Third Miss, this is the jewelry that the old lady made for you over the past few years. I never gave it away. First, it was because you were in Dengzhou and I was afraid it would get bumped. Later, it was..."

"Cough cough cough——" Old Mrs. Gu suddenly coughed violently a few times, interrupting Mother Liu's words. Later, because Gu Qinghe was disobedient when he returned to Beijing, she didn't give it to him. How could she say such words?

Or is it to make the already ordinary relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law even more ordinary in front of Mrs. Bai?

"Go back early, you have to get up early tomorrow." Mrs. Gu waved her hand and said.

"Grandma, please go to bed early. Your granddaughter, father, and mother will go back first." Gu Qinghe took the box from Mother Liu's hand and bowed.

Gu Qinghe returned to the room, and Yingchun opened the box. Inside were several sets of head ornaments, including jade and ruby. "Miss, these are all good things. I was wondering why there were no items for you."

Gu Qinghe looked at these jewelries and smiled faintly. These things were only liked by the little girl. She had seen them many times and didn't think they were anything special.

"Grandma's kindness, please keep it well."

"Girl, what the old lady gave you tonight means that you should wear it when you go out tomorrow, right?" Wangchun has always been able to observe people's expressions.

"It's okay, just do as I say. You won't dress up to attract attention when entering the palace. The Empress Dowager wants to see my grandmother, not me." Gu Qinghe waved his hand.

Yingchun and Wangchun looked at each other, and then looked at the girl, who had already gone to the inner room to rest.

The two of them finally realized it, and when they returned to the capital, the girl thought that sleep was more important than her marriage. She stopped staying up late to read storybooks, went to bed on time every day, and practiced physical exercises, even more regularly than the old lady.
