Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

"Aunt, I just talked to my cousin the prince, and he said he would be here soon." Ruan Liuzheng said softly.

"Child, come and sit down. Even though it's night, you must be very tired after walking for such a long time. Take a rest." Concubine Li waved to Ruan Liuzheng and said softly.

"Aunt, I will leave the palace tomorrow. I am an adult, but still a woman. It is useless for me to stay in the palace all the time, and it is not good for anyone," said Ruan Liuzheng.

"How could that be?" Concubine Li denied it flatly. "I like the way you comb my hair and put on my makeup every day."

Ruan Liuzheng smiled slightly, "I can teach these to my aunt's maid. Sister Ping'er is very clever and will definitely learn it quickly, and do it better than me."

"We'll talk about this later..." Concubine Li said, "Let's talk about your cousin first. Didn't he say he would be here soon? Why is he still nowhere to be seen?"

"My beloved concubine, are you waiting for the prince?" The emperor's voice came from outside the palace.

Concubine Li had not expected that the emperor would come back at this time. "Liu Zheng, please go out first, and then wait for the prince outside. Tell him that I will see him tomorrow."

Ruan Liuzheng looked at her aunt, adjusting her clothes, revealing her cleavage, and stroked her hairpin. "Go quickly, don't stand here."

"My beloved concubine, who are you urging?" As he spoke, the emperor had already entered the palace.

Concubine Li quickly bowed and saluted, "Greetings to Your Majesty. This is my sister's daughter, Minister Ruan's daughter."

"Ruan Liuzheng pays his respects to His Majesty." As he said this, Ruan Liuzheng knelt directly on the ground.

Because she walked a lot tonight and was sweating, the sweat had not yet subsided. She looked naive and cute at this moment. The emperor smiled lightly and raised his hand, "Get up. It's our first meeting, so I'll give you something."

As he spoke, the emperor handed the beads in his hand to Li Quan, and the eunuch Li Quan gave the beads to Ruan Liuzheng, "Young lady, keep them."

"Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now." Ruan Liuzheng kowtowed and said.

Concubine Li looked at the beads in Ruan Liuzheng's hand, and her unhappiness was written on her face. She had told the emperor several times that she liked it, but the emperor never gave it to her. Instead, he gave it to Ruan Liuzheng, whom he met for the first time. This made her feel very uncomfortable.

"My beloved concubine, are you unhappy? Because I gave the pearl necklace to a little girl?" The emperor chuckled twice and asked indifferently.

"A little bit." Concubine Li did not hide her thoughts and admitted it directly. She knew that this was what the emperor liked about her.

As expected, the emperor laughed and hugged her in his arms, "She is also my niece. It's just a gift for us. Why bother about it? If you want, I have opened my private storehouse for you to choose from."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Li put her arms around the emperor's neck and thanked him.

"When I came here just now, I ran into the Crown Prince. He told me to ask Miss Ruan to go to the Eastern Palace and invite him over." The Emperor said calmly, his face expressionless. "It's getting late, and he will soon be the crown prince. He can't hang around the harem anymore. I told him to go back."

Concubine Li pursed her lips and said nothing. The emperor naturally knew that Concubine Li wanted to marry her niece to the prince, but the prince seemed to have taken a fancy to Gu An's daughter. He was happy to see it happen and naturally did not want Concubine Li, who only cared about beauty, to interfere.

"Although he didn't grow up in front of you, you should still think more about him. The reputation of the crown prince cannot tolerate any flaws." The emperor's tone was still flat, but Concubine Li heard the warning and quickly stood up and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my fault." Concubine Li was not stupid. Compared to having an obedient concubine in the prince's palace, or ensuring that her son would always be the prince, she would of course choose the latter. After all, the emperor did not appoint another queen, so when the prince ascended the throne, she would be the only empress dowager.

At that time, the word "filial piety" would force the daughter-in-law to obey.

"Get up. You are in the harem and don't understand these things. Just know that the prince's affairs are not your business." said the emperor.

"Yes, I will remember the emperor's teachings."

Xiao Jingheng met the emperor, explained the reason, and went straight back to the East Palace. Only then did he have some peace and quiet that night.

Han Desheng was also very tired. After helping the prince lie down, he went outside to keep watch and breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike Xiao Jingheng, Gu Qinghe was sleeping soundly in Xiangguo Temple on the outskirts of the capital. Perhaps because he was close to the Buddha, he did not have any dreams and felt very peaceful all night.

Yingchun and Wangchun, who were keeping watch outside, had not fallen asleep yet.

"Yingchun, today during the day, when the young lady asked the abbot to set up a longevity tablet for our relatives, why were her eyes red when she came out?" Wangchun asked.

Yingchun heard this and shook her head. "I don't know either. I always feel that after entering the capital, the girl seems to have something she is reluctant to tell others. Although she is still cheerful, she always reveals a faint sadness."

The two girls looked at each other, but we couldn't come to a conclusion and were still confused.

"Go to sleep. If you want to know the reason, you have to find the root. Then you can vent your anger for the girl." Wangchun made up his mind secretly, and Yingchun also agreed with him. However, when they really found the root in the future, they were so scared that they dared not move, let alone vent their anger for their girl.

Early the next morning

Gu Qinghe woke up refreshed, but the two girls both had dark circles under their eyes. She looked at Wangchun and asked, "You two slept very late last night. Is it because you had trouble falling asleep after changing beds?"

"We chatted last night..." Wangchun said casually.

"Miss, this is the first time for both of us to sleep in a temple. I'm a little excited." Yingchun interrupted Wangchun, smiled faintly, and inserted the jade hairpin at hand into the girl's hair.

Gu Qinghe nodded lightly without thinking too much about it.

During breakfast, Wangchun looked at the girl in a white dress and said happily, "Our girl is so beautiful, like the fairy Chang'e who is about to fly to the sky."

After breakfast, Gu Qinghe went to the main hall of the temple to listen to a lecture, and then went to say goodbye to the abbot.

"Donor, I wish you a happy journey. Take care."

"Thank you, Master Abbot." Gu Qinghe also clasped his hands together and nodded.

Gu Qinghe walked out with his head down, and accidentally bumped into someone's chest and almost fell on the steps. Yingchun and Wangchun both screamed. Fortunately, the person who was bumped into him hugged the girl's waist and prevented her from falling.

Gu Qinghe was lost in thought when she saw a face. The Dog Prince? Why were they here? And why were they looking at her with such a curious expression?
