Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry
Chapter 64: It's like catching a runaway bride
"What I'm saying is, I've never seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leave in such a hurry. I haven't heard anything happened in the Eastern Palace."
"Something must have happened in the Eastern Palace. Looking at the Crown Prince's behavior, it seems like..." The man laughed halfway through his words.
"Don't just laugh by yourself, tell me what it looks like." It would have been fine if he hadn't laughed, but when the people next to him heard the laughter, they became anxious.
"It's more like catching a bride who ran away from her marriage." Xiao Yifei, who was thrown behind by the prince, said quietly.
The laughter broke out in an instant and disappeared in an instant. Just kidding, it was a joke, but it also depends on whose joke it was. The protagonist was the prince, who would dare to laugh?
Of course, there were also those who couldn't laugh. Ruan Zhou, who had been following behind, couldn't laugh. If the prince was in a hurry to leave the palace to find his runaway bride, then what was the point of his daughter being a humble servant in the palace for a year?
Thinking of this, Ruan Zhou turned away, leaving only one sentence to the servant, "Send a message to the girl, asking her to come home. I have something to tell her."
Besides, when Xiao Jingheng was rushing to the Lu Mansion, the Gu family had already arrived at the gate of the Lu Mansion.
The eldest wife of the Lu family, Mrs. Liu, was already waiting outside with her youngest daughter. What surprised Gu Qinghe was that Liu Yinshuang was also here.
After greeting each other, they started walking into the mansion.
"Look at you, Madam Lu's surname is Liu, she is my aunt." Liu Yinshuang came over with a smile and held Bai's other arm, "Greetings to my aunt."
"I remember, but I didn't expect you to get up so early." Gu Qinghe smiled, "I thought there wouldn't be any acquaintances here today. I didn't expect you to be here. It's really great."
"Not only me, Yunhua will also come, but he may be a little late." Liu Yinshuang added.
Gu Qinghe nodded, "Yeah, I haven't seen her for a long time."
Because of the Dog Prince, she could never look at this guy who was ordered to get close to her objectively, but she really liked Yunhua's straightforwardness.
Jamel Xiao is really good at placing people. As expected, the one who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yinshuang smiled and said, "Some acquaintances will be coming over soon. I hope you can smile as happily as I do."
Gu Qinghe first gave the things that her elder sister had asked her to do to the youngest daughter of the Lu family, and said, "Thank you for your help."
"How can this be a problem? This is something my future sister-in-law gave to my brother."
After everyone sat down, they started talking about the same old things, praising each other's clothes and jewelry, and praising each other's husbands and children.
Originally, Bai was not very popular among these ladies, because Gu An was once a boy who rode a horse and paraded through the streets with countless girls throwing handkerchiefs at him. Unexpectedly, he was abducted by Bai, an unknown merchant girl.
If she was unhappy, like everyone else, dealing with concubines, maids, and illegitimate children, it would be fine. Unfortunately, not only did Bai not have these troubles, she was also pregnant again.
Gu An was promoted from the local area to Beijing. How could people not be jealous?
Of course, Bai is only 34 years old and definitely not "old", but people of the same age around her already have grandchildren.
"Mrs. Gu Er is so lucky. We all have grandchildren, and she can still have a son." An unknown lady in the crowd started talking first.
"That is to say, we are all busy arranging our children's marriages. Madam Gu is not in a hurry for her daughter's marriage. Didn't she reach the age of marriage last month?"
Before she even finished her words, Gu Qinghe became the focus of everyone's attention, with people constantly looking at her. This feeling of being put on the market was the first time she had ever felt it so clearly, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
Gu Qinghe glanced at Liu Yinshuang, who just curled her lips, indicating that she would get used to it. Every woman would go through this.
"I'm planning to take a look. We just returned to Beijing not long ago. If you ladies have any suitable ones, please tell me. Thank you very much." Bai said with a faint smile.
As soon as this was said, some people became interested.
"Miss Gu San, what do you like to do in your daily life?" The speaker was Old Lady Chen, the wife of the Embroidered Uniform Guard envoy.
Gu Qinghe was reluctant to answer such a question, but the other party's seniority was there, so out of courtesy, she should answer. However, before she could open her mouth, she was interrupted by a familiar voice.
"My second sister likes many things. She likes calligraphy and painting, playing the piano, and embroidery and needlework..."
Gu Qinghe looked at Gu Ruoxing who was talking freely and smiled gently. Her second sister would definitely not have anything good to say next. Gu Ruoxing definitely did not come out to praise her.
A bad premonition is always right.
"I also like horseback riding and martial arts." Gu Ruoxing looked around with a smile, and finally her eyes fell on Gu Qinghe. "Third sister, don't you agree?"
"Yes, second sister's summary is very comprehensive." Gu Qinghe said calmly.
When the ladies of each family heard that Gu Qinghe was going to practice martial arts, the curiosity on their faces was gone, and instead their eyes were filled with scrutiny.
Bai flicked her sleeves and was about to speak when her elder sister-in-law Li held the back of her hand.
"Your second uncle was an official in the local area. He did so many good things for the people and overthrew countless tyrants. The threats your family received are beyond your imagination while staying in the boudoir in Beijing. It's a good idea to let Qinghe learn some self-defense skills. Besides, when we were young, wasn't it popular to invite female masters to our homes to teach us some martial arts?" Li said with a faint smile.
"Mrs. Gu is right. My father hired several masters for me." Mrs. Chen's daughter-in-law said with a smile.
Others also began to agree and recalled their own teenage years.
At that time, the country had just been founded and was in turmoil, so it was fashionable for women to learn martial arts. After settling down in recent years, people began to believe that women should be as quiet as virgins.
Gu Ruoxing, who caused the dispute over this topic, just sat there staring. This was not what she imagined. Shouldn't Gu Qinghe be the one being disliked?
How did it become an advantage of recalling the past and thinking of the present?
Wang was also extremely depressed when she saw her depressed daughter, the complacent Bai, and her biased sister-in-law. She saw Gu Qinghe talking to the little girl behind him, and suddenly a plan came to her mind.
"Our He Jie'er not only knows these, she also took in many orphans. She hired someone to set up an embroidery room and hired a master to teach these orphans. She goes out every day, exposed to the wind and sun. It makes me feel sorry for her." Wang said, waving the handkerchief in her hand helplessly.
Gu Qinghe didn't respond when she heard that. Mrs. Bai also sat quietly with a calm expression. The other ladies, on the other hand, were concerned about where the embroidery studio was located.
