Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

The emperor listened quietly to the prince's protection of the princess, fearing that her reputation would be damaged in the slightest.

He chuckled softly and said, "I didn't say anything about the Crown Princess. It's just that when the Gu family is mentioned, everyone thinks of the Crown Princess first."

Xiao Jingheng also laughed and said, "Indeed, my father-in-law was quite upset about this. He said that before, when people in the capital mentioned the Gu family, they would always refer to the Gu Tanhua family. Now, it has become the mother's family of the Crown Princess."

Speaking of Gu An, the emperor continued, "The Minister of Personnel said a while ago that he had internal hemorrhoids and couldn't sit still anymore, so he wanted to retire and return home. I want to promote Gu An. What do you think, Prince?"

Xiao Jingheng guessed that his father was going to promote his father-in-law, but he didn't expect that the opportunity for the promotion was that the old minister had hemorrhoids.

"Your Majesty, I think you are wise." Xiao Jingheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you should appoint people who are worthy, regardless of their relationship. I think Lord Gu is a perfect fit. He has served in local government for many years and has a wealth of experience. He is also a graduate of the imperial examination system, so he can gain the trust of all officials."

The emperor laughed loudly upon hearing this, then coughed for a while before saying, "Prince, you have an endless stream of good qualities when it comes to your father-in-law."

"I'm telling the truth, but I also have a shortcoming. He is my father-in-law, which limits my ability to perform." Xiao Jingheng said.

"Speaking of limiting one's ability to perform," the emperor suddenly remembered. "Lu Wangzhou said a while ago that he wanted to learn from Gu An and become an official in a local government."

Xiao Jingheng unexpectedly heard the name "Lu Wangzhou" again, and he was learning from Gu An, just to make himself the person that Gu Qinghe admired.

"Your Majesty, I also value talent. If he really wants to go and the court allows it, I will let him gain experience for two years," said Xiao Jingheng.

Upon hearing this, the emperor nodded and said, "Okay, you don't deliberately make things difficult for me. You are quite magnanimous."

"Okay, I'll see what happens when the time comes. You don't have to worry about it. Go back and see your wife first. After all, she is a girl from the Gu family." The emperor waved his hand and said.

"Yes, I'll take my leave then." Xiao Jingheng bowed and took two steps back. He then heard the emperor speak again, "There will be no palace banquet for the Mid-Autumn Festival. We can just get together as a family to have a meal and admire the moon."

Xiao Jingheng looked up at the emperor and felt that his father had aged even more. His voice was a little hoarse. "Yes, I will tell the Crown Princess later."

When Xiao Jingheng returned to the East Palace, Yingchun was talking to the Crown Princess, saying that she had gone to the Gu Mansion today but did not see the Third Lady.

"I have been waiting at Madam's place for an hour, but Third Madam has not come back. I guess Concubine Gu hasn't seen her mother for a long time and misses her very much, so she kept Third Madam to talk for a while longer." Yingchun said.

However, when this mother and daughter get together and talk in private, most of what they say is not good. They either say bad things about others or they are planning something bad.

Gu Qinghe looked calm, and after listening to Yingchun's words, he still had a smile on his face, "I see. You must have had a hard time on this trip. Go back and rest for a while."

Yingchun agreed and walked out. Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his entourage walking towards them, she turned around and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back."

Gu Qinghe hummed, and when he thought Xiao Jingheng was about to reach the door, he stood up and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Xiao Jingheng took a big step forward, grabbed the Crown Princess's hand, and walked to the edge of the couch. The two of them sat opposite each other across a small table, and Wangchun served them tea.

"Qinghe, I was just helping my father review memorials in the Xuanzheng Hall, and he mentioned a few things." Xiao Jingheng said.

Gu Qinghe originally thought that he would first tell her about the fire at the Gu family farm, but he didn't.

"Your Highness, please tell me."

"First, the current Minister of Personnel is ill, and my father plans to promote him to be his father-in-law." Xiao Jingheng said with a faint smile. This is good news.

"Secondly, father understands that you are tired from organizing the banquet, and in order to allow the ministers to reunite with their families, the royal family will only hold a small banquet this year." This is still good news. At least, the Crown Princess doesn't have to worry so much.

Hearing this, Gu Qinghe also smiled and nodded, "Anything else?"

The smile on Xiao Jingheng's face was a little stiff for a moment, and he didn't say directly, "The third thing is also a matter in the court."

Gu Qinghe frowned slightly, "If that's the case, Your Highness is not comfortable telling me, so forget it."

Xiao Jingheng waved his hand, "It's not inconvenient. I've said it before, husband and wife are one, sharing what they have."

"It's about Lu Wangzhou. You still remember him, the man who grew up with you and was the top scorer in the imperial examination last year." Xiao Jingheng said with a smile.

Seeing the prince's expression, Gu Qinghe smiled softly, "Your Highness, it's really hard to forget."

Seeing that there was no other expression on the Crown Princess's face, Xiao Jingheng felt greatly relieved.

There should be no taboo names between husband and wife, otherwise, they will never be able to bring their hearts together.

Gu Qinghe had met the monk from Xiangguo Temple with the Empress Dowager in Yongshou Palace before. The monk told a vague story, but Gu Qinghe was able to identify himself with the Dog Prince.

Finally, the monk said, "This arrangement by God is the best. Some people can realize the importance of taking care of themselves, some can learn to love others and make up for their regrets, and some can continue to achieve great things and find new opportunities. Otherwise, it will be a mess and it will be difficult to sort out."

What the monk meant was that if Lu Wangzhou saw that he was living a good life, he would also find another realm.

Of course, Gu Qinghe hopes that Lu Wangzhou lives a good life. She even hopes that he lives much better than herself.

"Lu Wangzhou told the emperor that he wanted to learn from his father-in-law and requested to be sent away for two years." Xiao Jingheng said softly.

When Gu Qinghe heard what the prince said, he frowned. So this was the opportunity that the old monk was talking about?

"Well, this is up to father to decide, but talented people will never be buried no matter where they go." Gu Qinghe said with a faint smile. Maybe if he goes out and takes a look, he will meet his destined person.

Xiao Jingheng nodded, and then talked about the Gu Mansion. "Father-in-law said that for Gu Feng's first birthday party, we won't invite guests yet, so as to avoid too many people and too much trouble. When the time comes, I will go back with you to take a look."

"I originally planned to take you out for a walk these few days, but unexpectedly, things kept happening one after another." Xiao Jingheng said regretfully, "In autumn, I must take you to see the maple leaves."

"Today, I asked Yingchun to go back home and told her that Third Aunt had gone to Prince Jin's mansion. When Yingchun came back, Third Aunt had not returned yet." Gu Qinghe said.

"It's okay." Xiao Jingheng said, "I'm afraid Prince Jin will be trapped in his own trap."
