Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Gu Qinghe waved his hand and said, "Zhang Jinbao, you can work with Zhou Qingxi. If you are unsure, come and ask me."

"Yes, I obey your command." Zhang Jinbao replied with his head lowered.

Xiao Jingheng took Gu Qinghe to sit on the small couch, "I went to the Jinyiwei to see Ruan Zhou today."

Gu Qinghe asked, "Did he confess?"

Xiao Jingheng smiled when he heard this. The Crown Princess was indeed interested in this matter. "At first, she didn't say a word, but after she showed him the calligraphy practiced by her concubine, she was completely defeated."

"If you control the child, you control the adult. This is really true." Gu Qinghe nodded and said.

Xiao Jingheng added: "Father mentioned it today, and he will issue an imperial decree soon to summon Prince Jin back to the capital."

"Being close has its advantages. Everything is in the open. Without direct military power, one always feels less free."

"After court was dismissed today, I met my father-in-law. He reminded me that Prince Jin must be extra careful after returning to the capital." Xiao Jingheng said seriously, "I have ordered Zhang Wen to strengthen the guards of the Eastern Palace. When the Crown Princess goes out, she should also carry a sword at her waist, right?"

Gu Qinghe heard this and chuckled softly, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that people will say that the Crown Princess is not dignified enough for brandishing swords and guns?"

Xiao Jingheng laughed out loud, "Don't pay attention to it. If there are people who say such sour words, they are also envious of you. Some people can't do it, so they can't bear to see others do it."

"Besides, you've become my Crown Princess, how can you be the same as others?"

"Well, it can be considered as one of the benefits of being the Crown Princess."

Han Desheng stood by and thought: Not every princess has such benefits. There have been four princes in this dynasty, but this is the first time that a martial arts training ground has been set up in the backyard of the Eastern Palace.

If this gets out, I'm afraid someone will say that the Crown Princess has become spoiled by the Crown Prince.

The emperor's edict was issued very quickly. In early April, the eunuch who delivered the edict arrived at the Prince of Jin's mansion in the northwest, accompanied by General Zhenbei and Jiang Huizhou.

It makes sense for General Zhenbei to come to guard the northwest.

Prince Jin had just come out of the princess's courtyard and was about to go to the personal guard camp to see how the soldiers were doing in their recent drills. Unexpectedly, the steward of the front yard came running in hurriedly, saying that an imperial edict had arrived.

Prince Jin quickly sent someone to notify the princess and concubines in the backyard, and asked the steward to open the central door of the palace, set up the incense table, and prepare to receive the imperial edict.

However, the King of Jin did not guess why his father issued the decree at this time. Wars in the northwest usually occurred at the beginning of winter.

However, this question was soon answered because he saw the General Zhenbei and his son who were accompanying them.

It is obvious that the emperor's action is to clear the obstacle for his beloved prince.

Princess Jin came hurriedly with two concubines. Concubine Gu was already exhausted and breathing heavily, but when she saw the prince's eyes, she lowered her head hurriedly.

The eunuch delivering the imperial edict looked at everyone present and bowed with a smile, saying, "Prince Jin, I will read the imperial edict now."

Prince Jin forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your help, eunuch."

"In the fourth month of the twenty-third year of Jianning, Longde was in power, the country was stable, and the people were at peace.

I heard that the beacon fires on the border have been extinguished, but the smoke of war is still there. Our cavalry has guarded the border and defended our country, and their contributions are invaluable. You soldiers have been away from your homeland for many years, enduring wind, frost, rain and snow, and are always ready to fight. Your loyalty and bravery are witnessed by the sun and the moon.

The King of Jin, who has been stationed at the frontier for a long time and has made great contributions, is deeply missed by me. He should return to the capital to enjoy the blessings of peace and prosperity. I hereby issue the following decree:

Order the King of Jin to pack his luggage and lead his generals back to the capital slowly. There is no need to worry about supplies along the way. Everything will be properly arranged. All matters in the capital have also been taken care of, so there is no need to worry.

General Zhenbei will take over the responsibility of guarding the border. He is both wise and brave, and will surely carry on the ambition of King Jin, consolidate our northwest, and ensure the safety of our people.

This summons is issued immediately, and I hereby order it."

Prince Jin felt a chill in his heart at this moment. His father's imperial edict clearly ordered him to return to Beijing and be a leisurely prince.

He really couldn't figure it out. Was he not working hard enough for the court?

How did Xiao Jingheng get so much? Father was not only paving the way for the prince, he was also clearing away all the stones on the road.

Princess Jin was also unhappy. She knew that going back would be like walking into a trap. Her family had been away from the capital for five or six years, and due to the social customs and practices, they had long lost contact with each other.

When she went back before, the prince had military power and people tried to please her. But this time when she goes back, she has only the idle prince, so it will definitely not work.

Besides, the Crown Princess is now the one who has the final say in the royal harem.

However, there was also someone present who was happy, and that was Concubine Gu.

She could finally leave this dusty and windy place and see her mother again. But for some reason, more than a month had passed and she still hadn't heard from her mother.

There was only a reply letter from the Gu family, some dietary recipes, and two thousand taels of silver given by Second Aunt Bai. Oh, Gu Qinghe also gave three thousand taels.

This was an unexpected surprise. Gu Ruoxing wrote a letter to the Eastern Palace just to piss off the powerful Crown Princess, but she ended up sending money to herself.

Then she could only accept it with a smile. Who can resist money?

Jiang Huizhou and his son helped Prince Jin pack his luggage. Prince Jin had lived here for five or six years, and it would take more than a day or two to pack up all his things.

On the sixth day, it was time to travel far, so the King of Jin took his family and several trusted generals and set out on the journey back to the capital.

On the way, the King of Jin received a letter from the capital saying that the Minister of Rites had committed suicide in prison because he could not bear the torture for corruption and bribery.

Prince Jin clutched the letter in his palm and chuckled, "Xiao Jingheng, it was I who underestimated him."

By the end of April, Gu Qinghe was busy preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival banquet. She also had to prepare for the welcoming banquet when Prince Jin returned to the capital.

She was so busy that her feet were hitting the back of her head. Yingchun looked at the Crown Princess and said distressedly, "Crown Princess, is it necessary to welcome the Prince of Jin back to the capital?"

Gu Qinghe smiled when he heard this. The emperor had already released someone's military power, so how could he not even let him drink a glass of wine?

"Yes, the Prince of Jin is a great contributor to the court by guarding the border." Gu Qinghe said based on the facts.

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Jingheng stepped into the main hall and said with a smile: “When the Crown Princess evaluates others, she is always very objective.”

Gu Qinghe naturally understood the implication of Xiao Jingheng's words. She was not objective enough when evaluating him.

"Your Highness, those with a criminal record who commit the same offense again will be subject to heavier penalties," Gu Qinghe said with a faint smile.

Xiao Jingheng waved his hand and smiled, "What the Crown Princess said makes sense. It seems that she has also studied criminal law."

"Let Zhang Fu and Zhang Jinbao do it. Don't overwork yourself. It's not worth it." Xiao Jingheng added, "I just came back from the Grand Princess."

Gu Qinghe became interested, "How?"

The last time Xiao Jingheng visited, he encountered the Grand Princess who was claiming to be sick, so he came back without saying a few words.
