Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 241 Isn’t She Short of Money?

Spring nights are short. Han Desheng was outside listening to the rustling sound of the spring breeze blowing through the newly sprouted leaves. The moon in the sky was already full. This was also the first full moon night after the prince's wedding.

It makes people sigh that spring has really come.

After an unknown amount of time of wandering thoughts, I heard Yingchun say, "Manager Han, the master is calling for help."

Then I skillfully poured hot water into the room and changed the sheets and bedding, and the day finally passed safely.

The next morning, after Gu Qinghe had finished his meal, Zhang Jinbao took the list he had drawn up and handed it to Wangchun, "Crown Princess, please review it. If there's anything inappropriate, please point it out and I'll revise it."

Gu Qinghe took the booklet and looked through it carefully. Zhang Jinbao was very attentive and marked the relationships next to the characters.

"Okay, I'll add a few more people later, and then leave it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make the arrangements."

"Yes."

Wangchun brought the pen and ink, and Gu Qinghe added the two families that he had mentioned to Xiao Jingheng yesterday, and then checked it again before giving it to Zhang Jinbao.

"You will write the invitation and arrange for someone to deliver it." Gu Qinghe instructed, "I will write the invitation for the Gu family myself."

"Yes, I will follow the Crown Princess's orders."

When Zhang Jinbao arrived at the Gu Mansion, the master of the Gu Mansion was probably still on business and had not returned yet. The ladies of the Gu Mansion were all gathered in the courtyard of Old Lady Gu.

"Mother, what do you want to talk to me and my second brother and his wife about?" Li asked. It was the beginning of spring, and the farm needed to be farmed. The managers came to her from time to time to ask for notes and money. There were a lot of things to do.

Bai just sat there calmly, waiting for the old lady to speak.

The old lady put down her teacup and glanced at Mrs. Bai first. "You both know that the third wife has been sent to a farm outside Beijing, but Ruoxing wrote to say that she is pregnant."

Mrs. Bai knew that her mother-in-law was still so influential. She was really used to calling the shots. She smiled faintly and said, "My sister-in-law and I know everything mother said. Ruoxing's pregnancy is a good thing. I have also prepared two thousand taels of silver as a gift. My sister-in-law will arrange for someone to deliver it when the time comes."

The old lady nodded when she heard this and said, "You are a sensible person. You figured it out without me saying anything."

Bai smiled. Of course she had to do a good job of saving face, because if anything happened in the future, people would talk about the Crown Princess's mother.

As for whether giving money would seem cold, of course not. When someone is giving birth, it is better to give them silver money than eggs.

Besides, isn’t Gu Ruoxing short of money?

Li also agreed and said that someone would be sent over as soon as possible, and then she stopped talking.

Old Madam Gu continued, "A few days ago, I heard from Madam Liu that Yueru sent someone back?"

"Yes, Yueru heard that our mansion was going to send someone to the northwest, so she sent some things over. They were all the dietary therapy recipes she used when she had morning sickness." When Mrs. Li mentioned her daughter, her face smiled more.

Bai listened to the conversation between her mother-in-law and sister-in-law and realized that they were actually here for the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess was the first person to know that Gu Ruoxing was pregnant because the letter was forwarded from the Eastern Palace.

However, apart from forwarding the letter, the Crown Princess did not make any other response.

"Mother, the Crown Princess knows about this and must have been too busy to remember it. How about I add another three thousand taels as a gift from the Crown Princess?" Bai didn't want to bother the Crown Princess anymore because of this matter. It would affect her mood and it would not be worth it. She would just think of it as spending money to make her daughter happy.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Gu frowned. Actually, there was nothing wrong with what Bai did. Firstly, the Crown Princess was indeed busy. Secondly, Bai was using her own dowry. How she wanted to spend it was her own business and her in-laws had no right to interfere.

However, she just wanted the Crown Princess to give Ruoxing some things from the Eastern Palace, so that the other women in Prince Jin's Mansion would know that Ruoxing had a cousin who was the Crown Princess.

After all, there will be some fear.

At this moment, being choked back by Bai, Mrs. Gu sighed: "You have money, so do whatever you want."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the maid outside come in and say that someone from the East Palace had arrived.

"Please come in!" said Mrs. Gu, waving her hand.

Zhang Jinbao was led into the main hall by a maid. He bowed and said, "Greetings to the old lady, the eldest lady, and the lady. I am Zhang Jinbao, the eunuch serving the Crown Princess."

"Sir, please don't be so polite, but does the Crown Princess have any instructions?" asked Old Lady Gu.

"There's going to be a banquet in the palace, and the Crown Princess asked me to send an invitation to the Gu family," said Zhang Jinbao.

Mother Liu hurriedly took the note from Zhang Jinbao's hand and handed it to the old lady for review. When she recognized that it was a note written by the Crown Princess herself, she was also very happy.

"Mother Liu, please invite Eunuch Zhang to have tea." Old Mrs. Gu ordered with a smile.

Zhang Jinbao accepted it without hesitation. This was his master's family home, so there was no reason to be so formal.

"The palace's flower viewing banquet is at the end of the month, and there are only a few days left." Old Madam Gu smiled, "Let's focus on these first. Let's put the matter of sending people to the northwest on hold for now."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bai smiled. The old lady was very thoughtful. It was just that the Crown Princess was no longer just her granddaughter. Her attitude could be seen when she returned home, but the old lady still had the mentality of a patriarch.

Zhang Jinbao took his leave and Bai followed him out. She spoke a few words to Zhang Jinbao, asked if the Crown Princess was tired these days and if she smiled a lot, and then gave Zhang Jinbao some money before letting him go.

On the way back to the palace, Zhang Jinbao thought that it was fortunate that the Crown Princess was raised by the Madam herself in Dengzhou, otherwise she would not have caught the Crown Prince's eye.

Besides, in the northwest, the wind and sand are very strong in spring, and Gu Ruoxing is pregnant, so she seldom goes out. On this day, she went to the princess's place because she estimated that the reply from the capital should have arrived.

All letters from the backyard of Prince Jin's Mansion are first sent to the princess.

"Concubine, please be careful." Xing'er reminded.

"I know, I just want to quickly read the reply from Gu Qing, the Crown Princess." Gu Ruoxing said.

When we arrived at the princess's courtyard, we entered the main hall smoothly. At this time, several ladies were talking to the princess.

"Oh, Concubine Gu, you are such a rare guest. What's the matter today?" Another concubine named Wei said with a sneer.

"It is our duty to pay respects to the princess. I should come here every day, but the princess sympathized with me because I was pregnant with the prince's child, so she exempted me from paying respects." Gu Ruoxing said with a smile.

The princess smiled when she heard this, but didn't say anything. She just stretched out her hand and gestured for Gu Ruoxing to sit down.

"Thank you, Princess. I came here today, firstly to pay my respects to you, and secondly to see my third sister." Gu Ruoxing smiled and said "ah" and changed her words, "I want to know if the Crown Princess has replied to my letter."

Princess Jin smiled. Gu Ruoxing was really inconsistent. Before the Crown Princess's wedding, she asked Gu Ruoxing if the Crown Princess was an easy person to get along with, and Gu Ruoxing gave a negative answer.

Now, she took the initiative to say that her younger sister was taller and her younger sister was shorter. Her intention was very obvious. She simply wanted to tell everyone present that her cousin was the Crown Princess.

What's the point? Can the Crown Princess even get into the backyard of Prince Jin's mansion?
