Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

The Empress Dowager and Nanny Lin looked at each other and smiled, then shook their heads. What a young man he is.

Xiao Jingheng didn't have any other ideas. He just saw a lot of Gu Qinghe's jewelry, including the pearl necklace she bought in Baolou today, and wanted to pick out one that matched better.

When giving something, it should touch the heart of the person.

While Xiao Jingheng was picking and choosing in the Empress Dowager's jewelry box, Lu Wangzhou was carving a peach wood hairpin under the guidance of a carpenter.

Lu Wangzhou planned to drill a hole in the auspicious cloud at one end of the hairpin and thread a red bean through it. However, when he was holding the pen, his extremely flexible wrists and fingers seemed to be fixed at this moment. He was so clumsy that he accidentally pierced the base of his thumb and got a wound.

"Young man, let me help you. I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it even if you work like this for three days and two nights." Old Li said, looking at the wound on Lu Wangzhou's hand.

"Go wash up." He took the small chisel from Lu Wangzhou's hand and tilted his chin behind him. "The basin is over there."

The old master's craftsmanship was indeed proficient. What Lu Wangzhou had been unable to complete just now, he now drilled through with just a few flips. "Here, these red beans of lovesickness, you can wear them yourself."

"Thank you, Master." Lu Wangzhou thanked him and took the hairpin. The silver chain passed through the hole, and a red bean hung on the tip of the hairpin. Under the bean-sized light, it looked particularly eye-catching.

Yufu Palace

Ruan Liuzheng stood behind Concubine Li and held her shoulders.

"Liu Zheng, you've been back for less than a month and you're already back in the palace. I'm afraid my sister will blame me." Concubine Li said with enjoyment, half closing her eyes.

"Aunt, you are so polite. The word 'mother' is included in the way I address you, so it is my duty to show filial piety." Ruan Liuzheng said appropriately.

"The prince still calls me mother, but in the end, he is not as good as you. He hasn't come to see me in this month." Concubine Li got angry when she talked about this, because she wanted him to make Liu Zheng a concubine, but he was unwilling.

She was really puzzled. Liu Zheng was her aunt's cousin, and she must be loyal to the prince. Why did he disagree? He said that a king cannot take away another person's wife, and that her cousin had a fiancé, which was against etiquette and law.

But, Liu Zheng's fiancé is as good as dead...

In Concubine Li's opinion, the Crown Prince just doesn't like Liu Zheng and doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings he has. She wants to see what kind of fairy the Empress Dowager and the Emperor can choose for him to be the Crown Princess.

"Aunt, speaking of my cousin the Crown Prince, I think I ran into him on the street this morning. He was accompanying three girls to visit the Treasure Tower. One of them was Princess Yunhua, one was Liu Yinshuang from the Liu family, and the other one I have never seen before." Ruan Liuzheng let out a long sigh and finally brought the topic here.

Concubine Li really opened her eyes and looked over from the side. "What did you say? Didn't you go up and talk to your cousin?"

"Liu Zheng didn't dare. My cousin the prince must have sealed off the treasure house at that time. I saw it at the door." Ruan Liu Zheng spoke slowly, without sounding anxious at all.

"It's impossible for Liu Yinshuang. Her family has already made arrangements. When I asked Madam Liu to come to the palace to talk, she said that the engagement letter had been exchanged. Who is this woman you haven't seen?" Concubine Li said with a frown.

"Aunt, maybe he is a distant relative. I think his family background is definitely not enough to enter the Eastern Palace." Ruan Liuzheng said, but her nails were about to dig into her palms.

There was no other reason. The woman's appearance was so outstanding that even he himself was inferior to her. The key was her cold temperament that made people admit defeat.

This morning, she saw clearly that the woman was indifferent to her cousin the prince. On the contrary, her cousin the prince's attitude was the most positive she had ever seen.

This made her feel scared.

"I started asking about the women in the capital a year or two ago, and there shouldn't be any changes." Concubine Li patted the back of Ruan Liuzheng's hand soothingly.

Concubine Li naturally hopes to find a Crown Princess who is as soft as dough, so that she can show off to her mother-in-law, and Ruan Liuzheng can be more comfortable as a concubine.

This was Concubine Li's wishful thinking, and it had long been known to everyone in the palace. Therefore, when it came to the selection of the Crown Princess, they only symbolically asked the biological mother a few questions and did not listen to her opinions.

"Yes, my aunt is always thorough in what she does." Ruan Liuzheng also agreed with a smile.

"Liu Zheng, don't worry. As long as your aunt is here, there will definitely be a courtyard for you in the East Palace of your cousin the Crown Prince." Concubine Li said.

"Thank you, auntie."

"Why are you so unconventional? We are still a family." Concubine Li waved her hand and smiled.

In a courtyard of the East Palace, Xiao Jingheng and Han Desheng were carving wood with knives. There was no need to ask Han Desheng, because he must have heard that the talented Lu Wangzhou made a hairpin for his sweetheart. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was inspired and wanted to carve a small thing by himself to not be outdone.

Han Desheng suddenly thought that the probability of "hairpin" appearing these days was very high. Could it be that Lu Wangzhou's sweetheart was also going to reach the age of marriage?

Wait a minute, Han Desheng thought about this and suddenly realized something very serious. Lu Wangzhou came from Dengzhou, and Miss Gu San also came back from Dengzhou, and their fathers had worked together.

Isn't this the kind of childhood sweetheart who knows everything about each other? How many years of emotional foundation has this relationship built?

Oh my god! Can His Royal Highness defeat him? If he doesn't exercise greater power.

Han Desheng smiled slightly when he thought of this. This matter was easy to solve. It was nothing more than a matter of an imperial edict, and the person who issued the imperial edict was the prince's father.

"Hiss—" Suddenly, Xiao Jingheng put down the carving knife in his hand and covered his left ring finger, "Han Desheng, bring some clean water."

"Yes." Han Desheng quickly responded, went to get some clean water, and told another eunuch to get some bandages.

"Your Highness, let me carve the rest." Han Desheng served the prince and simply applied some medicine on the wound, bandaged it, and said worriedly.

Xiao Jingheng picked up the carving knife and continued carving, "No need, if I let others do it, where will my love and affection go?"

Han Desheng grinned, his teeth aching a little, "Yes, then Your Highness, please be extra careful."

This was Xiao Jingheng's first time doing carpentry work, especially after he injured his hand. He was very careful with every stroke and continued carving like this until after midnight, when he was able to stand up and walk around.

"Your Highness, it's already May 20th. You should take a nap. You have to attend the morning court tomorrow and go to the Gu Mansion." Han Desheng looked at the dark circles under the prince's eyes and advised him with concern.

"I know."

He then used silk cloth to repeatedly wipe off the debris and splinters from the surface of the wood carving before putting them in his purse and going to the main courtyard to rest.
