As soon as Gu Ping finished speaking, everyone in the room looked stunned, especially Gu Ruoxing. The first thought that came to her mind was, could it be that the prince has taken a fancy to Gu Qinghe?

Old Madam Gu laughed. "This is good news. Ruoxing, listen to this. With the Crown Prince speaking for our Gu family, who will dare to laugh at you when you go out in the future?"

Gu Ruoxing said nothing, but just sat in the chair, thinking to herself, with a frown on her face.

Gu Qinghe was also surprised at first. She hadn't expected the Dog Prince to actually speak up for her. You know, even when she married into the Eastern Palace in her previous life, this man never spoke well of the Gu family in public. Sure enough, this scheming man really intended to interfere with her marriage...

It doesn't matter. She has let it go. The worst that can happen is that she won't get married. Being a queen isn't happy enough, and being someone else's wife wouldn't make her happy either.

Even if it's the dog prince, isn't he afraid that his cousin Ruan will be sad? She's a delicate and beautiful woman.

"Qinghe——"

Gu Qinghe was pulled out of her thoughts by a shout. She looked up and saw Gu Ruoxing standing in front of her. "Second sister, what are you doing?"

"Let her apologize to you. She just accused you without any reason. What she did was wrong." said Mrs. Gu.

"Oh." Gu Qinghe nodded, said nothing else, and looked at Gu Ruoxing in front of him.

Gu Ruoxing looked at Gu Qinghe, who was sitting there with a clear conscience, waiting for her sister to bow to her, her chest rising and falling dramatically, "Third sister, I was wrong."

"I understand, second sister."

Gu Ruoxing stood there, neither advancing nor retreating. It was all Gu Qinghe's fault for being so ambiguous. What did "I know" mean? Was it so difficult to say "It's okay"?

In the past few months since returning to Beijing, Mrs. Gu has also become familiar with Gu Qinghe's temper. Just like her father, he can't say anything against his will. "Alright, be careful next time and don't act so rashly. These are our sisters. It's easy to handle behind closed doors. If it happens outside, it will really bring shame to the Gu family."

Gu Ruoxing sat back down awkwardly, then heard Wang ask, "Qinghe, the Crown Prince said you met by chance outside the city. Is that true?"

"Aunt, your question isn't just about questioning what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said in court. Is there something else you're asking? Could it be possible that I could have a secret meeting with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Gu Qinghe smiled faintly, "I don't have that kind of ability, nor do I have that kind of ambition."

"Third sister-in-law, I just returned to Beijing not long ago. I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had difficulty in choosing a concubine. Later I found out that there was a cousin of the Crown Prince who often came to the palace. Don't you know?" Bai asked.

"This..., of course I know that, but the East Palace must belong to more than one woman, right?" Wang said embarrassedly.

"Okay, this is not something that a family of ministers like us can discuss. Let's talk about something else. Second brother, are you going to take Qinghe to the Lu family for a banquet tomorrow?" Old Mrs. Gu smiled.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law listened to my mother last time and decided to take Qinghe out for walks more often. Firstly, to familiarize herself with the customs of the capital, and secondly, to sort out the interpersonal relationships in the capital."

"it is good."

Gu Qinghe looked at the expression on her grandmother's face. Although she said okay, she didn't look very happy. It seemed that she didn't want her mother to take her out. Maybe after listening to her uncle's words, she felt that the Crown Prince was a little special to her?

Oh my god, this kind of thinking is not allowed. Who knows at what point the dog prince was reborn? Judging from his attitude towards me, he must have seen me scolding his concubine cousin and wanted revenge.

The Gu family's family conversation finally ended. Zhang Wu's ears were almost bleeding from listening on the roof. He didn't mean to eavesdrop, but wanted to go up to the roof to bask in the sun. After all, hiding in the dark every day was too tiring, so he jumped onto the roof.

I didn't expect to hear such a thing. Should I report it to the prince?

He sorted out the details carefully. Firstly, Miss Gu didn't care about the gossips. In Zhang Wu's opinion, this was quite a bit of the free and easy nature of martial artists like them. It was good that they didn't care about trivial matters. Secondly, Miss Gu was always being bullied by her second sister, which made him very unhappy. In his opinion, Gu Qinghe was the future Crown Princess. Because when the emperor sent them brothers to the Crown Prince, it meant that Zhang Wu followed the Crown Princess. Presumably, the Crown Prince had not forgotten this.

Thirdly, and most importantly, Miss Gu is going out to see a date. If the second point is true, then the third point must not happen. As the first person in the Eastern Palace to serve the Crown Princess, he will absolutely not allow it.

After thinking it over, Zhang Wu decided to report to the prince, so he stepped forward and jumped down.

East Palace

Xiao Jingheng was having a headache because of Prince Jin. He had just been called over by the Empress Dowager to talk. Prince Jin's wife had given birth to a legitimate son, and together with the children born to other concubines, he already had three sons and two daughters.

On the other hand, I have no children. The Empress Dowager just reminded me that the Emperor is in poor health and he must want to have more heirs and children.

But let alone having children, he doesn’t even have a woman. If he doesn’t even plant the seeds, how can he get any fruit?

He thought about it too, but when he thought of his child, he thought of the "Xiaoman" he saw in Xiangguo Temple.

Today, in the court, Gu An's words made her attitude clear. Gu Qinghe would rather die at home or become a nun than marry him. His headache seemed to be more serious. Seeing this, Han Desheng hurried forward and helped the prince press his temples.

Jamel Xiao brushed it away and said, “No need.”

This wasn't something that could be solved by just rubbing his temples. He had to have a good chat with Gu Qinghe. It wasn't enough to just pretend they met by chance; he had to make an appointment to meet her.

Seeing that the prince was deep in thought, Han Desheng did not dare to disturb him and retreated to the door. After a cup of tea, the door opened a crack. He looked closely and saw Zhang Wu's head coming over.

"Why are you here?" Han Desheng wondered. Wasn't Zhang Wu ordered by the Crown Prince not to leave Miss Gu San's side?

"Manager Han, I have something to report to the Crown Prince. It is an important matter, very important." Zhang Wu said confidently.

Although Han Desheng expressed doubts about Zhang Wudingyi's important matter, he did not dare to send him away. "Wait a moment, I will go and inform him."

"Your Highness, Zhang Wu has returned and said he has something important to report."

Xiao Jingheng was worrying about how to make an appointment with Gu Qinghe. Now that Zhang Wu was here, it would be nice to find out where she usually went.

"Let him come in and talk." Xiao Jingheng put down the tea in his hand that had already gone cold.
