Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Xiao Jingheng felt much more at ease at this moment. He knew that Gu must have encountered some accident, otherwise she would definitely show it in front of the old princess.

After all, with her cold personality, she told Ruan Liuzheng in front of her how she didn't love her. It seems that Gu must love her very much.

Although we have never met each other, it must be difficult to find a woman who doesn't want to be the Crown Princess, right?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingheng smiled helplessly and shook his head, which made Han Desheng next to him stunned.

But Han Desheng quickly came to his senses. It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just wanted to know the news about the daughter of the second branch of the Gu family. No wonder he looked impatient when he talked about Gu An just now.

However, when did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know about the third young lady of the Gu family? Judging from his expression today, it seems that he wants her to enter the Eastern Palace.

Han Desheng is a shrewd man. He understands the prince's thoughts better than anyone else. At this moment, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, the old princess is going to hold a banquet in the mansion in a few days. Do you want to go?"

Xiao Jingheng shook his head. The old princess had an average impression of the Gu family's daughter and probably wouldn't invite the Gu family. Then, it would be meaningless for him to attend the banquet.

"I can tell the old princess to invite the daughter of the Gu family to come along." Han Desheng smiled understandingly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingheng did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he drank a few sips of tea and then said "hmm" lightly, looking very calm.

However, Han Desheng knew that at this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be very satisfied with his personal eunuch.

Xiao Jingheng arranged this matter, and he felt relieved.

Just as he was about to take a break, someone came from Yufu Palace and said that Concubine Li invited him over for dinner.

Xiao Jingheng was adopted by the Empress Dowager since he was born. Later, when the Empress Dowager passed away, he grew up in the Empress Dowager's palace.

His relationship with his biological mother was not very close, because Concubine Li had another daughter and could not take care of him.

However, his biological mother wanted to see him, so out of filial piety, he had to go.

Xiao Jingheng brought Han Desheng and his party to the Yufu Palace. The palace was decorated magnificently, and it was obvious that the emperor's favor for Concubine Li was extraordinary.

Xiao Jingheng walked into the hall and saw his sister Princess Wen'an and cousin Ruan Liuzheng there.

"Greetings to my mother." Xiao Jingheng said with a salute.

"Get up. It's really difficult to ask you to come and have meals with me recently. You used to come whenever I called you, but now you know how to avoid suspicion?" Concubine Li said with a faint smile, and glanced at Ruan Liuzheng, who looked shy beside her.

"I have been busy with government affairs recently. My father has specifically instructed me to do so, so I dare not neglect it. I ask my mother to forgive me." Xiao Jingheng said in a serious tone with a very solemn expression.

"Okay, it's time to choose a concubine. Let's sit down and have dinner." Concubine Li said with a smile.

"Yes, please, mother."

Ruan Liuzheng, who was listening on the side, felt a little uneasy when she saw the alienation that her cousin the prince inadvertently revealed.

After dinner, Ruan Liuzheng wanted to stay overnight in the palace. Xiao Jingheng put down his chopsticks and was about to leave, but was stopped by Concubine Li.

When Xiao Jingheng followed Concubine Li to the study, he heard his mother say seriously, "Which daughter did the Queen Mother choose for you?"

Xiao Jingheng shook his head. "It hasn't been decided yet. Mother, don't worry. The Empress Dowager will take care of it, and Father will also give her advice."

Concubine Li was so angry that she hit Xiao Jingheng, "I gave birth to you, and now you don't even want me to ask about your marriage. How cold-blooded."

How could a concubine have the turn to participate in the crown prince's marriage? However, Xiao Jingheng didn't say this out loud, but just took the punch from Concubine Li.

"Since, as her stepmother, I have no say in the selection of the Crown Princess, but there are two candidates for the concubine, it's always okay for me to propose one, right?" Concubine Li snorted coldly.

"Mother..." Xiao Jingheng didn't think much and was about to refuse.

However, Concubine Li interrupted her, "Your cousin is a famous beauty and talent in the capital. You are childhood sweethearts and know each other well. She is qualified to be the principal consort. I feel it is unfair for her to be just a concubine."

Xiao Jingheng sighed helplessly, "Mother, since you know everything, you shouldn't say this. Cousin Ruan and General Zhenyuan's second son have been engaged since childhood."

"But that man has disappeared for a year, and now your cousin is wasting her life. Don't you feel sorry for her?" Concubine Li moved her with emotion.

Xiao Jingheng naturally knew that his cousin from the Ruan family was being wasted, and he also knew that it would take another three or four years, but he couldn't do as Concubine Li said.

It is despicable for a king to take his minister's wife.

"Mother, don't worry. Everything will work out in the end. The marriage between the Ruan and Chen families was made by our ancestors, and we cannot go against our integrity. Besides, General Chen is fighting for the country, but I am stealing his fiancée in the rear. It is not appropriate." Xiao Jingheng said.

"Okay, Your Highness the Crown Prince is the most decent person. He would never do such a thing as taking the wife of a minister. I hope you won't regret it." Concubine Li said angrily and went out.

Xiao Jingheng paced in the study for a while, then went out and said goodbye.

Ruan Liuzheng felt very nervous as she watched the prince leaving. She wanted to take this opportunity to say a few more words to her cousin the prince so that they could get closer.

I didn't expect that my cousin, the prince, would suddenly become so cold after not seeing each other for just a month.

Did he really have to watch his youth slip away while being guarded by Chen Cen? The key was whether he could wait for the young general to come back.

If she could wait, it would be fine, but if she couldn't, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

Xiao Jingheng walked out of Yufu Palace. His mood did not become as heavy as he had expected, but instead became much more relaxed.

Gu Mansion

In Yuquan Courtyard, people from the second branch of the Gu family sat together to have dinner.

"Qinghe, your grandmother just sent a letter saying that the old princess is hosting a flower viewing banquet and wants you to attend." Gu An said.

Gu Qinghe's heart skipped a beat. She really didn't want to have anything to do with anyone in the royal family, especially this highly respected old princess. After all, it was this old princess who drew the starting point of her tragedy in her previous life.

"Dad, I don't want to go." Gu Qinghe refused bluntly.

Gu An smiled when he heard this, "That's what I told your grandmother too. The old princess has been busy arranging a princess consort and concubines for the crown prince recently. Let's not join in the fun. Wait for dad to find you a clear scholar."

Gu Qinghe laughed out loud, but her face was also flushed, "Dad, you are so kind."

Bai watched the interaction between the father and daughter, gently stroking her belly with a smile on her face.

Gu Qinghe originally thought that after her father and grandmother expressed their opinions, she would not force it, but she overlooked how important it was for an old person to attach importance to the family honor.

The next day, when I just got up and was about to have breakfast, someone came from the old lady's side.
