Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 45 Then I'll ask your little minions

next morning

Ruan Liuzheng went to the main hall as usual to comb Concubine Li's hair, but she didn't expect it to be so quiet.

"Miss Ruan, the emperor hasn't left yet. Please come back later. The empress has instructed you to sleep a little longer." A maid came over and said in a low voice.

"Okay, then when your aunt needs you, call me." Ruan Liuzheng said softly and left.

"She is quite dutiful."

"Well, it's none of our business, so stop talking."

About half an hour later, a voice of "Farewell to the Emperor" came from the main hall of Yufu Palace, and soon, Concubine Li sent someone to call her.

"Miss Ruan, Concubine Li wants you to come over and talk."

"I'm coming." Ruan Liuzheng put down the paper and pen in his hand and replied softly.

Arriving at the main hall of Yufu Palace, Concubine Li was sitting in front of the dressing table with a rosy complexion, like a sated and lazy cat.

"Aunt, what kind of hairstyle do you want today?" Ruan Liuzheng asked Concubine Li in the mirror.

"It's up to you. As long as it's your hairstyle, the emperor will say it looks good." After saying this, Concubine Li covered her face shyly.

"That's enough. It's Liu Zheng's blessing to be able to share my aunt's worries." Ruan Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"Liu Zheng, you are really sensible. I wish your cousin the prince could understand my feelings half as well as you do. So, aunt, no matter what means I use, I will convince the emperor to let you be the prince's concubine." Concubine Li looked at Ruan Liu Zheng with concern and said.

"Thank you, aunt." Ruan Liuzheng said, "I came to the palace just to relieve your worries. I don't dare to force me to become the Crown Prince's concubine."

"Good boy, good boy." Concubine Li sighed repeatedly.

The same child is seen as a different child in the eyes of different people.

In the eyes of Concubine Li, the ignorant prince was just a young man who was brave for his sweetheart in the eyes of the Empress Dowager.

"Madam Lin, you said that the Crown Prince asked everyone to call him 'Shao Ci Brother' at Miss Gu San's coming-of-age party in front of everyone?" The Queen Mother laughed so hard that she couldn't stop.

"Yes, that's what I heard. I waited until the third young lady called him "His Royal Highness" three times before I brought it up." Nanny Lin said with a smile.

"Oh, he's quite considerate, giving me three chances." The Queen Mother's laughter never stopped. "But I'm afraid if Miss Gu San calls him 'Shao Ci brother', this guy won't dare to respond."

"What the Empress Dowager said makes sense. After all, our Crown Prince is quite thin-skinned." Nanny Lin said.

The Queen Mother hummed, "He's a bit thin-skinned, I guess. But I've noticed lately that he's not as impatient as he used to be, which is a good thing."

"Empress Dowager, a man's growth is accumulated through his understanding of women."

"Indeed." The Queen Mother was very happy to see that the Crown Prince had started to look for a Crown Princess.

The thin-skinned prince is playing chess with Xiao Yifei, a dandy son of the royal family.

"Your Highness, you must have had a wonderful time during the few days I was away from the capital." Xiao Yifei smiled at Xiao Jingheng, revealing a fresh wound on his chin.

"At the rate you're going, if I come back a month or so later, I'm afraid I'll miss your wedding."

"Let's talk about these trivial matters later." Xiao Jingheng's ears blushed. "Tell me first, did you make any important discoveries during this trip south?"

Upon hearing the serious matter, Xiao Yifei put away his frivolous smile and spoke seriously, "Your Highness, if the progress of this matter is as expected, the Prince of Jin has discovered several iron mines covering three to four thousand acres in Jiangnan, but has not reported them to the court."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingheng's brows furrowed and then relaxed, "Let him dig first. Once he finishes the preliminary work, we can reach out."

"Great minds think alike." Xiao Yifei said with a smile.

"Okay, you've worked hard over the past month. Go home early, meet your uncles and aunts, and have some rest." Xiao Jingheng was about to get up and see the guest off while speaking.

"Hey, Prince, this is not very nice. We clearly agreed just now that we would talk about business first and then chat about family matters." Xiao Yifei picked up the teapot again and poured himself a cup of tea.

Jamel Xiao didn't say anything either, just drank tea.

As soon as Xiao Yifei saw the reddened state of his ears, he knew that he dared to do but not to say. He clapped his hands indifferently and said, "Alright, as a minister, we can't embarrass the Crown Prince. Fortunately, there is still a little minion of yours in the palace. I will ask her when I get back. I think what she said is more interesting than what you said."

Xiao Jingheng raised his hand and put it back, "Then go back and listen." As long as he was not asked to say it, or it was said in front of him, he would not feel embarrassed.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Xiao Yifei stood up and waved his hand.

Before leaving, he was still mumbling something about how one shouldn't steal someone else's wife, and that when the prince is deeply in love, he will still snatch her away.

Xiao Jingheng didn't think he had done anything against the wishes of others. He never put pressure on anyone and was always friendly.

Some people's positions were not firm enough, and he was just helping Gu Qinghe eliminate those who were not as good as himself.

After a few days, the anecdotes about the Gu family were replaced by new interesting stories.

What has been praised recently is that Lu Wangzhou, who is the neighboring brother of the third daughter of the Gu family, was selected as the top scholar by the emperor. When the results were announced, the owner of the bookstore said that Lu Wangzhou was going to propose to his sweetheart, and people said it was the third daughter of the Gu family.

After all, although there are many girls in the capital, there is only one who has any connection with Lu Zhuangyuan.

However, there were later rumors that at Miss Gu San's coming-of-age ceremony, Mrs. Lu said in person that Lu Wangzhou and Miss Gu San were just siblings who grew up together as neighbors.

As soon as this news came out, many people became interested again.

Who wouldn’t want a son-in-law like this?

Lu Wangzhou is a well-mannered, handsome, and talented man, a rare sight in many years.

Someone joked before that the current emperor did not have a princess of the right age, otherwise he would definitely not allow Lu Wangzhou to come outside the palace.

Lu Mansion

Lu Wangzhou sat in the dining room with his father and mother. This was the first time the three members of the Lu family sat together to eat after that incident.

"Father, Mother, I invited you two to come to Beijing mainly to propose marriage to the Gu family, but I didn't expect that Mother would define the relationship between Qinghe and me in that way." Lu Wangzhou said, looking deeply at Mrs. Lu.

Although Mrs. Lu felt guilty, what she was thinking now was that if her son married Gu Qinghe, her son would suffer.

After all, such an outstanding top scholar is more than qualified to be the wife of a princess, let alone a county magistrate, right?
