Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding." Gu Qinghe tried hard to keep a smile on his face and squeezed out a few words.

Xiao Jingheng smiled but said nothing. He asked Han Desheng behind him to bring up the box. "This is a gift that your grandmother specially prepared for you. It happened to coincide with your coming-of-age ceremony, so she asked me to bring it to you. If it's suitable, why not use the hairpin she picked out today?"

"Of course, this is Qinghe's blessing." Old Mrs. Gu spoke first.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Her Majesty the Queen Mother. Your Highness the Crown Prince has made the trip. Please have some tea." Gu Qinghe called a little girl over, personally took the teapot, and filled the cup to the brim.

After pouring the tea, he smiled and said softly, "Your Highness, please have some tea."

"Thank you." Xiao Jingheng smiled elegantly, "However, didn't we agree before that when we are outside the palace, you can just call me Brother Shaoci."

Calling you a dog prince, Gu Qinghe didn't expect that he would be so shameless after doing it again. I'm afraid his skin is thicker than the city wall.

"Okay, I'll remember that." Gu Qinghe said this while enduring humiliation for the sake of the overall situation.

Yunhua and Liu Yinshuang, each holding their chin with one hand, watched the show.

All the ladies in the hall looked at the Crown Prince and Gu Qinghe curiously. What was going on?

Mrs. Lu was even more confused. She looked at Bai and found that she was just fanning herself weakly with a bulging belly, looking extremely tired.

"This lady is Lu Wangzhou's mother, right?" Xiao Jingheng asked with a smile.

"In reply to Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am indeed a humble woman." Madam Lu stood up and replied.

"You have trained Lu Jieyuan very well. I have read his articles and he is a talent worthy of being a prime minister. I wonder if they can get married? If not, I can keep an eye on him." Xiao Jingheng asked lightly.

Talented as a prime minister?

Madam Lu looked at Gu Qinghe, then at Mrs. Bai, "To answer your Highness, no, not yet. I've been busy studying these past few years and haven't had time to think about love affairs."

"No wonder he can get the first place in the first class. The effort and reward are positive." Xiao Jingheng said approvingly.

"Mother, is Madam Lu lying in order to climb up the ladder of the Crown Prince? She just gave a peach wood hairpin to my third sister, saying that she carved it herself and there was a red bean on it." Gu Ruoxing deliberately said in a whisper.

Everyone present could hear this sound, because when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was speaking, no one dared to whisper to each other, so Gu Ruoxing's voice seemed particularly abrupt.

"Oh? It turns out to be Lu Jieyuan..." Xiao Jingheng asked with a smile. This time, Gu Ruoxing did something.

Madam Lu met the Crown Prince's eyes, which were cold and without any smile.

"Qinghe and Wangzhou grew up together. They are just neighboring siblings and have a good relationship." After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she did not dare to look into Bai's eyes again.

Just now, the ladies were still talking about Gu Qinghe's marriage with great relish. Now that the Crown Prince came in, the childhood sweethearts became the siblings next door. A younger sister Qinghe and a younger brother Shaoci killed the secret competition.

Princess Yunhua and Liu Yinshuang, the two spectators, forgot to make any expressions. What was going on? They came here to give Gu Qinghe a hairpin and blocked his way to get married?

"So, it's too tragic and heartbreaking to not be favored by the powerful." Liu Yinshuang said with a long sigh.

"Yinshuang, come here quickly and help me welcome Brother Shaoci. Now that he is in my house, Brother Shaoci will be mine alone." Gu Qinghe found two people whispering in the corner.

It’s okay, these two friends are not completely useless.

"And you, Yunhua. If you hadn't acted as a bridge between us, Yinshuang and I wouldn't have had the chance to call the honorable Crown Prince "Brother Shaoci." Gu Qinghe pulled one out with each hand.

At this moment, the ladies finally understood what was going on. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no special relationship with the third daughter of the Gu family. He just followed Princess Yunhua in calling her brother along with the girl from the Liu family.

As for Mrs. Lu, she also explained that they were just neighbors.

It's still the same, everyone has a chance.

At this moment, Xiao Jingheng's tongue tip was against his back teeth, and he tried hard to maintain a calm expression. She was worthy of being his queen. She was able to remain calm in times of crisis and respond flexibly. He had to admit that she was better than him.

At this moment, he really couldn't do anything to her.

Thinking of this, he looked at her and smiled with his head tilted. That's good.

Xiao Jingheng's trip was not in vain. At least, his future mother-in-law was disappointed with Mrs. Lu, and the two families could not proceed with the marriage immediately.

"Mrs. Gu, Second Madam Gu, First Madam Gu, I have something else to do, so I won't stay any longer. I'll take my leave now." Xiao Jingheng finally picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea she had poured herself.

Everyone respectfully sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince off. After Xiao Jingheng boarded the carriage, he lifted the curtain and said, "Sister Qinghe, happy coming of age. The tea was well poured."

"Thank you for the compliment." Gu Qinghe lowered his head and said, "Take care."

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, the guests in the hall began to let loose, gathering in groups of two or three, all of them envious of the Gu family.

Finally, it was time for the hairpin ceremony. Gu Qinghe sat obediently, waiting for his father's mistress to come and put on the hairpin given by the Empress Dowager.

After that it was the singer’s job, which was also completed smoothly.

After lunch, the guests left one after another, only Mrs. Lu was reluctant to leave, but she didn't say anything either.

Finally, when Bai was about to go back to her room to rest, Madam Lu spoke up, "Sister Bai, blame me."

"Mrs. Lu, there was no agreement between us. Qinghe just accepted the hairpin you brought." This time, Bai drew a clear line.

"It's my fault. My family has been doing business for generations, and we've been living the life of the lowest class. In the first few years, my shopkeeper had the opportunity to enter the government office and study in Wangzhou. It was not easy for him to pass the exam today. Just now, when the prince spoke, I got scared and said some nonsense. Please forgive me, sister." Mrs. Lu said, and her body was about to fall.

Gu Qinghe quickly supported Madam Lu, "Auntie, please stop saying that. I have always regarded Wangzhou as my brother. Please take this hairpin back with you."

"This..." Mrs. Lu wiped her tears and took the cloth bag. Although she felt uncomfortable, she did not regret what she had just said.

Because, she could see just now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not want any other man to have anything to do with Gu Qinghe. Even if she was stubborn and admitted it, the look in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes was not friendly.

After Gu Qinghe sent Madam Lu away, he turned around and saw Princess Yunhua and Liu Yinshuang. These two, who loved to watch the show, hadn't left yet. Perhaps they were waiting for him, the actor, to leave?
