Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

In the imperial garden, flowers of various colors compete with each other in beauty, and the little girls of fifteen or sixteen years old also have their own beauty.

Mrs. Bai and the old lady sat at the lower left of the main seat, and opposite them sat Concubine Li.

Concubine Li had already had someone investigate. The Crown Princess's mother, Bai, was from a merchant family. She had arrested the Minister of Personnel, Gu An, and she did not have any concubines in her backyard.

From this we can see that this Bai family member has extraordinary means. Considering that the prince does not have a concubine, we have to say that the princess has learned the essence of her mother.

"What's the purpose of the invitation sent by the Crown Princess to today's flower-viewing banquet?" I don't know which girl spoke first.

"I don't understand. This is probably the first banquet in a few years. The concubines and the Crown Princess's maternal family are all here."

"I heard that she is going to be seen by the Prince of Yan's Mansion." A crisp voice said next to her with a teasing tone. Looking over, it was Concubine Wu's sister, Wu Yanru.

"Ah, I heard that Prince Xiao is very free and easy, and has two or three concubines in his mansion." The girl's words were quite euphemistic. In fact, he was just a playboy, but it was not uncommon for royal family members to behave like this.

Most men with better family backgrounds have three wives and four concubines. Among them, it is very rare to find a prince who does not want concubines.

"Empress Li, I heard that the Crown Princess held this flower-viewing banquet for Prince Xiao to find a daughter. I wonder if she has any plans to take a concubine for the Crown Prince?" The speaker was the fourth grandmother of the Wu family, the mother of Wu Yanru and Concubine Wu.

Concubine Li glanced at the lady. No matter how stupid she was, she would not speak up for Concubine Wu's mother. "How could that be? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his Concubine are newlyweds, and the Eastern Palace won't have a concubine."

The fourth grandmother of the Wu family forced a smile, snorted twice, and said nothing more.

Lady Wu saw this scene, holding her teacup, wondering what she was thinking.

"The Empress Dowager, the Crown Princess, and the Princess of Yan have arrived—" the eunuchs sang in unison.

Everyone present quickly stood up and knelt on the ground, shouting, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager and the Crown Princess."

Gu Qinghe supported the Empress Dowager, smiled at his mother, and helped her sit down, "Everyone, please stand up and take your seats."

Careful people can find that it is the Crown Princess who can afford to call her that, and the Empress Dowager is happy to do so, which shows that the power of the harem is truly in the hands of the Crown Princess.

There was nothing special about the flower viewing banquet. After the pleasantries, the beauty wrote a poem to praise the flowers in the imperial garden, and then performed the flying flower order to let the old princess see the talents of the candidates.

Finally, all the girls who were called here stood up and said something so that the old princess could distinguish their pronunciation and appearance, which was almost the same.

Next, it’s time to let people move around freely. After all, the reason for inviting them here is a flower viewing banquet. We can’t just look at the people and not the flowers, right?

The Empress Dowager and the Crown Princess were chatting and laughing with the people in the Gu Mansion, while the old princess and Princess Yunhua were busy memorizing names in their minds.

"Madam Gu looks good. I am envious of her." The Empress Dowager said with a smile.

Old Madam Gu hurriedly stood up and politely waved her hand to decline, "The Empress Dowager is the one with a rosy complexion."

"Sit down and talk." The Queen Mother pressed her hand.

While chatting, the amount of snacks and tea would inadvertently increase, and then the Empress Dowager's needs came, and Nanny Lin waited for the Empress Dowager to go out.

The old lady of the Gu family also breathed a sigh of relief. She finally found an opportunity to talk to the Crown Princess alone.

"Crown Princess, I have a few words to say to you." Old Lady Gu said softly.

Gu Qinghe glanced at Old Madam Gu, then at Mrs. Bai, who shook her head slightly. She smiled and said, "Grandma, just say what you want to say. Why are you acting like a thief?"

Old Madam Gu smiled and gave the Crown Princess a look of disapproval, "That's right, Grandmother wanted to tell you something in private."

"No need to avoid people, just follow what grandma said." As soon as Gu Qinghe saw her grandmother's expression, she knew that she was going to ask for help for Gu Ruoxing again.

"I saw the letter you forwarded to our family a few days ago. I'm sure you've also read it. Your second sister is pregnant." Old Mrs. Gu said directly without any preparation.

Gu Qinghe nodded after hearing this, "Yes, I understand. Concubine Gu is pregnant. This is a happy event for the royal family and also for Third Uncle's family, so they sent someone to the Gu Mansion immediately."

Looking at the Crown Princess's reaction, Old Lady Gu clearly didn't want to accept the challenge. She also made a clear distinction between Concubine Gu and Third Uncle's family.

She added, "Your mother loves her niece so much that she's prepared two thousand taels of silver to send to the northwest along with your aunt and your elder sister's belongings."

Oh, grandma is going to send some gifts to Gu Ruoxing herself to raise the status of Concubine Gu.

Gu Qinghe laughed a few times at first, then thought for a moment and said, "It's because I've been busy preparing for the banquet recently and have been busy with some trivial matters on weekdays, so I forgot about this important matter."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Gu nodded in satisfaction. She said, "The third girl is a very sensible person. Just look at how she can make the Empress Dowager so happy.

"Since you're giving a gift, it has to touch the heart of the recipient, giving what they need most. I'll do the same as my mother and give something valuable. Since we're related on both sides, I'll have Zhang Jinbao bring three thousand taels of silver later."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bai picked up the teacup and hid the smile on her face, while Mrs. Gu's smile froze on her face.

Taking a banknote, is it a gift or a way to send someone off?

"Princess, you are very direct in doing things nowadays." Mrs. Gu said, and the smile on her face disappeared.

"Of course, I have so much to do, so this is the only way." Gu Qinghe sighed and said, "Grandma, do you have anything else to say?"

Listening to the Crown Princess's businesslike tone, Old Lady Gu knew she could no longer control her little granddaughter. In fact, when had she ever truly been able to control her?

As soon as she finished speaking, the Empress Dowager came over slowly, holding Nanny Lin's arm.

"Madam Gu, the Crown Princess is very busy on weekdays. She is too busy with our family's affairs to take care of yours." The Queen Mother spoke with a smile, but her eyes were full of warnings.

It's clearly saying, this is our family, don't try to interfere.

Gu Qinghe smiled upon hearing this, "Grandmother, you love me, and so do I. It's just that we're talking about what reward to give to Prince Jin's concubine."

"A concubine's greatest role after entering the family is to bear children. Pregnancy and childbirth are the proper share, so why ask for a reward?" the Empress Dowager said harshly, then softened her tone, "However, it's good that you're kind and considerate of our past."

"It's all because of my excessive talk that the Crown Princess has troubled herself." Old Madam Gu said.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said nothing more, and the matter was finally over.

Gu Qinghe smiled and just as he picked up the teacup, a young eunuch trotted over and said, "Your Highness the Queen Mother and Crown Princess, Consort Yun Zhaoyi has fallen and is bleeding..."
