Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Jingheng without any reaction, put down this one, and picked up another one.

"This is the daughter of the eldest son of the Cifu family. She is innocent and lovely. She is said to be one of the most beautiful women in the capital..."

When Xiao Jingheng heard the Queen Mother talk about the many beauties in the capital, he thought that Gu was definitely the best and even more beautiful than his cousin from the Ruan family.

The Queen Mother put down another one and picked up another. "This one is the daughter of the Minister of Works. She has learned women's training very well..."

Gu's style of doing things is a model for women all over the world.

"This belongs to the Imperial College Supervisor. He has learned the skills of a housekeeper quite well..."

The Gu family is adept at managing the largest backyard in the world.

Xiao Jingheng looked at the remaining scrolls, frowned, and urged: "Grandmother, I have something else to do, please read it quickly."

Seeing that he had no interest, the Queen Mother asked Nanny Lin to open the remaining five scrolls at once.

"Look, we have to choose two at least. On the wedding day, the concubine will also be carried into the East Palace." said the Queen Mother.

"Grandmother, let's discuss this matter later. I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do." Xiao Jingheng said calmly.

Seeing him like this, the Queen Mother really thought that he had suddenly remembered something important, so she nodded and said, "Go first, I'll take a look."

After Xiao Jingheng returned to the East Palace and sat down, he first drank a cup of cold tea. Han Desheng didn't have time to dissuade him, saying that the master's spleen and stomach were not suitable for drinking cold tea.

“Han Desheng, ask someone to check the Gu family.”

"Your Highness, which Gu family is it?" Han Desheng asked in a low voice. There were indeed more than one well-known Gu families in the capital.

"Which Gu family..." Xiao Jingheng couldn't remember the name of his future father-in-law for a moment.

"It's Gu An, the second master of the Gu family who just returned to Beijing some time ago." Xiao Jingheng said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Han Desheng frowned and thought for a few breaths, then suddenly realized, yes, ten days ago, the prince put aside the affairs of the palace and went to the streets to understand the people's sentiments, and met a team of carriages and horses returning to Beijing.

Dengzhou prefect Gu An was transferred back to the capital.

"I'll arrange it right away." After Han Desheng finished speaking, he saw the prince wave his hand and retreated.

Xiao Jingheng walked to the window and looked at the birds in the trees outside. He couldn't help but wonder, could something have happened to the Gu family?

In her previous life, the first portrait that the Empress Dowager picked up was Gu Qinghe's, but this time it was not the same.

He thought the order was disrupted. After all, they were all reborn, so some changes were reasonable.

Unexpectedly, there was no portrait of Gu Qinghe at all, not even a single girl from the Gu family.

Something must have happened to the Gu family.

Xiao Jingheng thought so and just waited for the person he sent out to gather information to come back.

Gu Mansion

After coming back, Gu Qinghe lived like a fish in water, it was so easy.

Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and as usual, the Gu family will go to the old lady's courtyard to have dinner with her.

The men in the family sat at one table, and the women sat at another table to eat with the old lady.

Gu Qinghe was completely focused on the food. She hadn't eaten home-cooked meals in years and was missing them. Gu Ruoxing, who was sitting next to her, would occasionally glance at her with disdain.

He really grew up in a small place. Look at how naive he is, as if he has never eaten good food. He is really petty.

The eldest girl, Gu Yueru, was also a little surprised. In the capital, noble ladies from aristocratic families would deliberately control their food intake in order to maintain their slender figures, for fear of gaining too much weight.

Gu Qinghe, my third cousin, is quite special.

"Third sister, you eat so much, aren't you afraid that your figure will be out of shape and it will be difficult to propose marriage when the time comes?" Gu Ruoxing said with a soft smile.

"It's okay, just walk more." Gu Qinghe said, and handed the bowl to Yingchun behind him, "Go get another bowl of rice, just half a bowl this time."

Just add another half bowl? This was the first time Gu Ruoxing heard a woman speak like this, and she burst out laughing.

"My third sister will be coming of age in a few days. Grandmother and second aunt will definitely put your marriage on the agenda. It's better to pay attention to it." Gu Ruoxing said earnestly.

Gu Qinghe didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Ruoxing, so she simply nodded and said, "Second sister is right, I understand. Thank you for reminding me."

"It's not enough to just know it. You have to be careful in the future. If you go out to a banquet, the way you eat will embarrass the women of the Gu family." Gu Ruoxing said.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, we just came back from Dengzhou and don't know the situation at home. Is it that they can't even afford to eat? The flavors in the capital are fresh. Is it worth it for Qinghe to be scolded by the second lady just because he ate half a bowl of rice more?" Bai put down her chopsticks, wiped the corner of her mouth, and asked seriously.

Madam Li quickly waved her hands and explained, "Second brother and sister-in-law really misunderstood. Although you are in Dengzhou, Second Master's salary will be sent to the government, so there is no shortage of food and clothing."

Third Madam Wang also glared at her daughter and offered Bai an apologetic smile. "Second sister-in-law, Ruoxing is wrong. She grew up in this kind of atmosphere in the capital, and she was just trying to be nice and remind Third Madam."

Wang apologized to Bai and glanced at her daughter Gu Ruoxing. "Hurry up and apologize to your third sister. Even though you care about your sister, you can't talk like that. It hurts the harmony between the sisters."

Gu Ruoxing didn't say anything else. She thought that Gu Qinghe, the only daughter of the second wife, would be spoiled by her second uncle and second aunt and become domineering, but she didn't expect that she was so calm and composed.

He was not irritated at all, but was fooled by her clever trick.

At this moment, Gu Qinghe was really grateful to Gu Ruoxing in her heart because her thinking was opened up.

After her rebirth, she was determined to avoid Xiao Jingheng and prevent her name from appearing on his list of concubines, but she never thought of taking the initiative.

Now that she has an open mind, if her name does not appear in the royal jade book, it is only the worst option. Then, if she arranges marriage with someone else and makes a deal with him, and her name is written in someone else's family tree, it is simply the best option.

Instead of hiding on the small road, it is better to take the initiative and forge a new and smooth road.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghe felt happy and ate a little more. Gu Ruoxing laughed in her heart. Gu Yueru also said that the third sister was the girl in the Gu family who had the greatest potential to succeed. In her opinion, it was not the case. Gu Qinghe was a person who had no ambition at all.

After dinner, the men from each room gathered together to appreciate calligraphy and paintings and talk about their careers, while the women stayed with the old lady and talked with her.

"Qinghe, you've been away from home with your parents for many years, and you can't enjoy the company of your grandmother. I always feel like I owe you something. Your coming-of-age ceremony should be a lively one in our house. You should go and take care of the arrangements for the eldest wife's ceremony."
