Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry
Chapter 256: Only Thinking of Stepping on Others to Climb Up
After everyone was seated, Princess Jin spoke first, "My granddaughter-in-law has returned with some local products from the northwest. She plans to present them to you and the Crown Princess. Would you like to see them now?"
The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction. "Let's wait and see. You just got back, so take a break and tell me about what you saw and heard along the way."
"Yes." Princess Jin replied.
Gu Qinghe's attention was on Princess Jin and the Queen Mother, so naturally he didn't notice the glances Gu Ruoxing glanced at him from time to time.
Gu Ruoxing was sitting in the main hall of Yongshou Palace at this time, feeling very uncomfortable because no one spoke to her and no one took her seriously.
This was different from what she had expected at first. She had thought that she was pregnant with a royal heir. Even if the Crown Princess was jealous and didn't talk to her, the Empress Dowager should still express something.
However, the reality was very deserted and no one noticed her.
It was not until the Prince of Jin left the capital last year that the children who stayed in the palace were brought into the palace. After a discussion about the children, the Empress Dowager mentioned her.
"Princess Jin, the pregnant concubine in your house is almost three months pregnant, right?" The Queen Mother said, pointing at Gu Ruoxing.
Upon hearing this, Gu Ruoxing immediately smiled happily. From what the Empress Dowager said, she knew that she was pregnant.
"To answer the Empress Dowager, it will be three months in about ten days." Princess Jin replied with a faint smile.
The Empress Dowager nodded and looked at Gu Ruoxing. She remembered this person. Last spring, when Gu Qinghe did not attend the flower-viewing banquet at Prince Yan's Mansion, she came forward to explain that "the third sister has been back to Beijing for half a month, but she is still ill and has not recovered yet."
This is a person who has no sisterly affection in her eyes and only wants to step on others to climb up.
"I see that you don't look good. Please take good care of yourself when you go back." The Empress Dowager said this politely.
"Yes, thank you for your advice, Her Majesty the Queen Mother." Gu Ruoxing stood up and said with a smile. Unexpectedly, because she was too excited at the moment, she put the teacup on the corner of the table and it fell directly to the ground.
A "bang" sound rang out in the house, quite abruptly.
At this time, Gu Qinghe looked at Gu Ruoxing straight in the eye. She frowned and thought to herself: Gu Ruoxing has been in Prince Jin's Mansion for so long, but hasn't made any progress?
When Gu Ruoxing saw that she had broken the teacup, her heart almost stopped beating. She quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother."
Princess Jin also stood up and apologized to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother naturally would not care about such things with her grandson's concubine, but she was just a little unhappy.
She waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't take it to heart."
Prince Jin bowed and sat back down, but Gu Ruoxing was so frightened that her legs were shaking and she had difficulty getting up.
Seeing this, Gu Qinghe winked at Yingchun beside her, and Yingchun stepped forward, "Concubine Gu, please get up quickly. The Empress Dowager will not blame you."
Gu Ruoxing looked up and saw the Empress Dowager who was drinking tea with her head down, and the Crown Princess who was looking at her leisurely. She felt unprecedented humiliation in her heart.
She brushed Yingchun's arm away and stood up on her knees. "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your forgiveness."
"Okay, let's not mention this matter anymore. Otherwise, you will make a big deal out of something you originally thought was not a big deal, and it will become a big deal in the end." said the Queen Mother.
Gu Qinghe took over the Empress Dowager's words with a smile, "That's right, Grandmother. Out with the old comes the new. Tomorrow, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I will find you a better set of tea sets."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager smiled widely and reached out to tap the Crown Princess. The movement of her finger revealed the Empress Dowager's love for the Crown Princess.
"Okay, then I'll just wait."
"Yes." Gu Qinghe said with a smile.
Princess Jin was envious of the harmonious relationship between the Crown Princess and the Queen Mother. She had been observing the Crown Princess for quite some time, listening carefully to everything she said, and had not found anything wrong with her.
At this moment, Gu Ruoxing also truly realized in reality that the gap between herself and her third sister was not a little bit, but more like a galaxy apart.
She lowered her head, raised her hand to touch her belly, and dared not move the teacup on the table. The baby in her belly was not her amulet.
"Empress Dowager, Crown Princess, and Princess Jin, Zhou Qingxi just sent someone over to tell you that the meals are ready." Nanny Li said with a smile.
The Empress Dowager also waved her hand, and everyone stood up and went to the side hall. In order to prevent the Empress Dowager from running around too much, the banquet for the female members of the family was held in Yongshou Palace.
*
It is more uncomfortable for a family with different thoughts to sit together than to eat with strangers.
Finally, less than an hour later, the welcoming banquet was over.
The Queen Mother went back to rest first. At this time, Gu Qinghe was walking with Princess Jin, who was slightly two steps behind.
"The Crown Princess is so intelligent and kindhearted, and she's so beautiful. I really admire her." Princess Jin said with a smile, "Now I finally understand why the Crown Prince is unwilling to appoint a concubine. He simply can't stand anyone else."
After Prince Jin finished speaking, he glanced at Concubine Gu behind him with deep meaning. Concubine Gu was now wearing different clothes than when she entered the palace.
Gu Qinghe naturally noticed the look that Princess Jin was glancing back at. She smiled nonchalantly and said, "People are always different. Look at your Prince Jin's Mansion. How many children have you had? The concubines and wives have also contributed to this."
Upon hearing this, Princess Jin nodded and said, "What the Crown Princess said makes sense. At least I don't have to bear the dangers of childbirth myself."
Gu Qinghe didn't say anything else, just smiled.
When he arrived at the palace gate, he found Xiao Jingheng talking to Prince Jin. He didn't know what they were talking about. Although they looked very harmonious, Gu Qinghe felt that the air over there must be very thin.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is out." Han Desheng reminded softly.
Xiao Jingheng cleared his throat and said, "Prince Jin, look at this pair of sisters-in-law, they came out in harmony. My Crown Princess is well-mannered and will definitely take good care of Princess Jin."
Prince Jin smiled and said, "Yes, the Crown Princess is indeed the de facto head of the harem now."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingheng chuckled twice and said nothing more.
The people at the palace gate stopped talking and waited for the Crown Princess and Princess Jin to approach. Han Desheng also stared at them.
It's really not that he is partial to the master of their Eastern Palace. Although the Princess of Jin has been a princess for several years, she looks much inferior when walking next to the Crown Princess.
It seemed as if their Crown Princess was born to play this role. This feeling made Han Desheng feel elated.
