Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

"Then open it and take a look." Gu Qinghe ordered.

"Yes." Yingchun put the box on the small table. She was extra careful because it was a reward from the Empress Dowager.

When the box was opened, in addition to the gold hairpin, there was also a set of ruby ​​head ornaments. In the corner, there was also a round ball. Gu Qinghe reached out and picked it up, and looked at it carefully under the light.

A little lion's head was vividly painted on the ball. The master and servants naturally knew who had done it, but they all kept silent.

However, Wangchun was easily amused unless he couldn't help himself. At this moment, holding the lion head, he laughed out loud, "Miss, please look, the signature is Brother Shaoci."

Today, this "Shao Ci Brother" has had enough of the limelight, and before going to bed, he still wants to give someone a slap.

"Take it away, put it away for me, and don't let me see this thing again." Gu Qinghe said unhappily.

"Yes." Wangchun quickly put away his smile and ran out with the box in his arms.

Three bedrooms

Gu Ruoxing had already smashed the whole room with debris. Wang looked at the ground distressedly, "Ruoxing, what are you angry about? You smashed so many things, and you still have to repair them."

"It's paid for by the government." Gu Ruoxing said unhappily.

"Your aunt said that if it breaks down accidentally, the money will be paid from the public account. But in this case, you have to pay for it yourself." Wang explained with a distressed look.

"Eldest Aunt is standing with Second Aunt, right?" Gu Ruoxing picked up a cup beside her, but looked at the ground and put it back. "It's because our Third House is not as rich as the Second House."

"It will be better in the future. Grandmother values ​​Gu Qinghe because of the empress dowager and the crown prince. Second aunt has endless money. The eldest wife is in charge of the household and usually gives herself some extra. Only our third wife lives in poverty." The more Gu Ruoxing spoke, the more pitiful she felt.

"Ruoxing, you have to believe what your mother said. People can't always be lucky, and they can't always be unlucky." Wang said viciously, "Look, today, when His Royal Highness spoke like that, it was clear that he was interested in Gu Qinghe. What did Gu Qinghe do? She denied it."

It would have been fine if Gu Ruoxing didn't hear this, but when she heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was interested in Gu Qinghe, she became even more angry.

"What's so good about Gu Qinghe that he deserves the Crown Prince's attention? Besides, didn't the monk say that everything should be left to fate? Come and go as you please. I'm not going to become a monk to beg for alms, am I?" Gu Ruoxing said angrily.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft..." Wang quickly covered her daughter's mouth. "How could it be? It's possible that this fate belongs to the Gu family. I can tell at a glance that Gu Qinghe is not someone who will seize opportunities. I don't believe that His Royal Highness will continue to give that girl opportunities."

Gu Ruoxing heard what Wang said, that fate belonged to the Gu family, Gu Yueru had already been promised to someone else and there was no chance, and Gu Qinghe was a slow-witted person, so she would definitely end up with her in the end.

"Actually, just like Gu Qinghe said, there's nothing special about her calling Princess Yunhua brother." Gu Ruoxing comforted herself.

"Yes, people cannot lose their fighting spirit first." Wang said.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became her son-in-law, she would be both noble and rich, and the Li and Bai families, as well as Old Madam Gu, would have to live under her thumb.

Wang's mother and daughter fell asleep with such beautiful expectations. On the same night, there were also people who couldn't sleep.

What happened at the coming-of-age ceremony of the third daughter of the Gu family today was known to almost everyone in the capital. Even Concubine Li in the palace knew the news.

Of course, the source of this information is her niece, Ruan Liuzheng.

"Liu Zheng, the girl you saw in the treasure house last time, could she be the third daughter of the Gu family?" Concubine Li was sitting in front of the dressing table, and Ruan Liu Zheng was combing her long hair behind her.

"Liu Zheng doesn't know." Ruan Liu Zheng answered like this, but she knew in her heart that it was almost certain, because Princess Yunhua and Liu Yinshuang were in the treasure house that day.

Today, at the coming-of-age ceremony of the third daughter of the Gu family, Princess Yunhua and Liu Yinshuang also attended. They arrived very early and were the last to leave.

This shows that the three of them have a very good relationship, at least they should be able to visit the treasure house together.

Following this line of reasoning, the prince cousin should be interested in the third daughter of the Gu family.

I heard that at the banquet today, the prince's cousin took the initiative to ask her to call him "Brother Shaoci" and also defined this childhood sweetheart of Miss Gu San as the neighboring brother who grew up with her.

Such behavior is actually an attempt to bring Miss Gu San to his side.

Ruan Liuzheng felt a surge of bitterness in his heart. Concubine Li had previously said that if the Crown Prince said a word, his engagement with the young general could be cancelled. He refused to do such a thing for the good of his cousin. He said that this was a king taking his minister's wife, and he said that he had to consider etiquette and laws.

But today, when others pointed out that his childhood sweetheart from Dengzhou Prefecture had given Miss Gu San a red bean and peach wood hairpin, he told the man's mother that she had never considered it a romantic relationship and that they were just siblings next door.

They had already given him a token of love, but with just a few words, he had it taken back. Ruan Liuzheng really wanted to ask, "Brother Crown Prince, don't you say you won't take your subject's wife away from your ruler? Don't you have to consider the ethics and laws of human relations?"

So, principles can change, right? It's just that I'm not someone worth his words.

Now that I think about it, being the Crown Prince's concubine was just the wishful thinking of Concubine Li and myself.

The prince's cousin has never said anything like this.

"Empress Li, the Emperor is here—" the maid at the door ran in in surprise to announce.

Concubine Li was no longer sad. She turned around happily and saw Ruan Liuzheng with tears in her eyes. She said with a little impatience, "Go back to the house quickly. It's not convenient here."

Ruan Liuzheng clenched his fists, nodded, and walked out.

You see, my aunt is not really thinking about me. She stepped down and became the Crown Prince's concubine only because I was obedient. When the time comes, I can join her in making trouble for the Crown Princess. It's just that it's convenient for her to order me around.

It's so pitiful and sad.

Ruan Liuzheng dragged her heavy feet back to a room in the side hall and lay on the couch. It was summer, but she felt cold all over.

"Young General, are you still alive? Should I continue to wait for you?" Ruan Liuzheng asked, looking at the shooting stars outside the window. "If you can come back alive, please do so as soon as possible. I'm really tired. I've had enough of this kind of life."

While daydreaming like this, I could occasionally hear loud noises coming from the main hall. Sometimes it was my aunt's bell-like laughter, and sometimes it was the emperor's roar.

"I wonder when this person inside will be able to leave the palace. His Royal Highness's sweetheart is clearly not her, so why is she still living here? Concubine Li is really generous. Isn't she afraid that she will stay and end up in His Majesty's bed?"

Ruan Liuzheng in the room listened to the gossip outside and clutched the quilt tightly.
