Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry
Chapter 60 The Prince Involved Himself
"Your Majesty, I have recently heard rumors that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Gu An's beloved daughter are quite close. They even returned from outside the city together and said goodbye to each other at the city gate." Jiang Youcai said with a serious face, holding a board.
Xiao Jingheng heard this and was about to explain when he heard Gu An speak.
"Your Majesty, I have known about this matter for a long time and have also heard the rumors in the streets. However, my daughter insisted that the innocent should be cleared, so I ignored it." Gu An said with a smile. He was so calm that people could see that there was really nothing fishy going on and it was just a pure misunderstanding.
After hearing what Gu An said, the emperor became even more curious about this Miss Gu. In the past few days, he had heard about such a woman from the Empress Dowager. His son tried every means to meet her and even used the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager said there was no progress.
He was very puzzled. His son, a truly outstanding man, finally found a woman he liked, so why was he so unlucky?
"Oh, reputation is important for women in this world, why doesn't your daughter care about it?" The emperor asked with a faint smile. Although his tone was calm, it sounded like a question, giving people the feeling that why doesn't your daughter care about my son?
"In reply to Your Majesty, my daughter feels that those who are innocent will be innocent. Even if we explain, it will be regarded as a cover-up, and the more we explain, the worse it will be. It is better to just ignore it. Secondly, this matter concerns His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He is of noble status and has not said anything. How can my daughter jump out to clear herself for fear of damaging His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's reputation?" Gu An said calmly.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne and listened carefully. He had an idea in his mind that Gu An's daughter was a good person and his son had an even better vision.
"My dear Minister Gu, your daughter has thought it through very carefully. But if it really affects her marriage, I will feel bad. How about..." The emperor's face was filled with a hint of expectation at this moment.
"Your Majesty, how dare I trouble you with such a trivial matter? Even if it really affects the marriage, my daughter said that she can enter a nunnery to practice asceticism..." Gu An said, "Of course, I will definitely not allow it. It would be a good thing for her to stay at home and accompany me and my wife."
Xiao Jingheng listened on the side, feeling like there were ants gnawing at his heart. He turned around to look at Gu An who was talking. Haha, Gu Qinghe was really magnanimous. His father-in-law and mother-in-law were quite good. They didn't want to make things go well, but just wanted to lie down on the spot.
My father-in-law wasn't like this before. What kind of ideas did Gu Qinghe instill in me after my rebirth? It's fine not to get married?
How could they express their feelings without getting married? Where did the happiness on the bed come from? Had she forgotten what happiness looked like?
Xiao Jingheng had no idea that Gu An had always been like this, but in his previous life, his daughter had just returned to Beijing and was favored by the palace, so he had no room or time to show his talents.
"Master Gu, things haven't come to that point. I thought there was no need to pay attention to the rumors. What's more, it was just a coincidence that day. We ran into the Gu family's entourage outside the city with a broken carriage. Only Miss Gu San could ride a horse. She planned to go back to the mansion to call for help. I saw that it was getting late, and since she was a close friend of Princess Yunhua, it was reasonable for me to lend a helping hand. So I let her follow behind the guards to keep her company. After entering the city gate, Miss Gu San was well-educated and knew etiquette, so she rode up to me and thanked me. That's all." Xiao Jingheng said.
Jiang Youcai didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come out to clarify. He heard from Lord Ruan that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not care and would just humiliate Gu An. When the time came, the Emperor would reprimand him for not being able to educate his daughter, and that would be the end of it. Why did the Crown Prince jump out and say that Gu An had a good upbringing?
As far as he knew, the daughter of the Ruan family was the cousin of the Crown Prince and often lived in the palace, saying that she was accompanying Concubine Li. However, everyone knew that this was to reserve a position in the Eastern Palace in advance. Even if she was not the Crown Princess, she would at least be a concubine.
But, looking up today, the Crown Prince's attitude seems a bit ambiguous...
How to put it, it's not like what he said, that it's none of his business. Instead, he is worried that the reputation of Miss Gu San will be damaged, and Gu An will also benefit from it.
The emperor looked at his son, who had gone on such a long conversation just to clear things up for the girl. He smiled and said, "It seems that Lord Gu's daughter is so sensible and decisive. This is indeed Lord Gu's credit. Come, Lord Gu, give me a hundred taels of gold."
Although Gu An had not expected things to develop like this, since the emperor had rewarded him with gold, he naturally had no choice but to express his gratitude. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward."
Ruan Zhou stood aside, watching Gu An's unexpected turn of events, and was so angry that his teeth were itching. He clearly wanted to block the Gu family's daughter's future. As long as the emperor made a decision, the ministers in the court would never consider her when they got married in the future. Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would help? In the past, the Crown Prince was too disdainful to care about these things.
Even if Liu Zheng was gossiped about, the Crown Prince would at most say a few words. The cousin from the Ruan family came to accompany Concubine Li and Princess Wen'an, and did not mention herself at all.
But today, the prince got himself involved, and it was he who took the initiative to ask to go with the girl from the Gu family...
"Well, Lord Jiang, thanks to your report today, I know that Lord Gu is a good official and minister, and a good father who educates his family." The emperor said slowly, coughing a few times. "Let's dismiss the court. Prince, please follow me."
"Long live our emperor."
Gu An followed the ministers out of the Xuanzheng Hall. Gu Ping came over and said, "Second brother, you are quite patient in this matter. If it were me, I would definitely ask the Crown Prince for an explanation. However, judging by the Crown Prince's attitude today, I am willing to give an explanation to the third girl."
"Brother, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just give an explanation? It's just a coincidence." Gu An said seriously.
"We two brothers, you don't have to hide it anymore. The prince was kept by the emperor, which is obviously to tell about the story between your daughter and the prince." Gu Ping smiled. He was happy for his niece. After all, entering the Eastern Palace, no matter what position, will always be looked up to. The men of their Gu family will have another way to climb to the top in the future.
Gu An waved his hand and said, "Brother, don't think too much. My wife and I are already looking for Qing He."
"That kid named Lu?" Gu Ping asked, "I heard your sister-in-law mention that Mrs. Lu is a snob."
Gu An shook his head. "I just arrived in Beijing and was frightened by the Crown Prince's aura. Besides, he said he would only live in Dengzhou and not live with me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ping didn't say anything else. After all, Gu An knew the man surnamed Lu better, and Qinghe was also his daughter, so his opinion didn't count.
