Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Gu Qinghe returned to her courtyard and leaned back on the small couch. "I'm so exhausted today. I'll tell Mother I won't be joining her and Father for dinner."

"Yes." Yingchun replied and went out.

In the room, only Wangchun was left serving, but Gu Qinghe could see that this girl seemed to have something to say, which must be about the wife of the Jinyiwei envoy who came to visit today.

"Wangchun, you should take a rest too. You must be tired from looking after the house all day." Gu Qinghe closed his eyes and said lightly.

Wangchun had a lot to say, but the girl just held it back. She shook her head and sighed. When other girls heard that someone was coming to their house, they would not only hide behind the screen, but would also send people to inquire about the situation. Just look at their girl, who closed her eyes and rested, like a fairy who was not of this world.

Wangchun certainly didn't know that apart from her daughter herself who was not interested in marriage, there were many other people who were curious.

Ruan Mansion, in the main courtyard hall

Ruan Liuzheng's parents sat in the main seats, and Ruan Liuzheng sat below. The three of them all looked melancholy.

"Madam, didn't Concubine Li say before that she would find a way to let Liu Zheng enter the Eastern Palace?" Ruan Zhou asked expressionlessly.

Mrs. Ruan also looked helpless and angry. "Of course my sister said that. Could I really lie to you?"

"Of course I didn't say that Madam lied to me. I'm just wondering. The Crown Prince's attitude has changed so much in the past few months. He used to let it go, but this time he's almost told her not to let Liu Zheng enter the palace anymore."

Ruan Liuzheng sat upright on the chair, only sitting one-third of the way up, with her back straight. This was what she had required of herself over the past year.

She knew that even if she entered the Eastern Palace, she was still engaged to another man, which could not be erased, so she wanted to act more appropriately.

Ruan Zhou couldn't explain the situation to his wife, so he simply turned to his daughter and said, "Liu Zheng, think carefully. Have you offended the Crown Prince in the past few months?"

Ruan Liuzheng shook his head without thinking. If he wanted to offend his cousin the Crown Prince, he would have to have a chance to get close to him. His attitude was so repulsive that it was difficult to even say a word to him.

"To answer my father's question, I have never done that." Ruan Liuzheng said with her head down.

"No? Then why would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treat you like this?" Ruan Zhou asked anxiously.

Recently, the emperor's health has obviously not been as good as before due to the heat. The throne is about to change hands, and he is a little anxious.

"My daughter doesn't know. I've rarely seen my cousin the Crown Prince in the past few months. Whenever I go to the East Palace, Han Desheng basically blocks me." Ruan Liuzheng's voice was filled with grievance. "Even when I saw him at my aunt's Yufu Palace, he only said hello. It seems like my cousin the Crown Prince is deliberately avoiding me."

Although it was embarrassing to say it, Ruan Liuzheng felt much more relieved. She had been keeping her worries to herself for some time and had no energy to do anything.

"In that case, why does Concubine Li keep you in the palace? Can't she see her son's attitude?" Ruan Zhou said, and slammed the table. The teacups made a clattering sound, which made Mrs. Ruan unhappy.

"Husband, what did you say when my sister entered the palace with Liu Zheng? Now that things have come to this, and the development is different from what you expected, are you going to turn against me?" Madam Ruan asked with a frown.

"Madam, I'm just afraid that my daughter will be seen by the emperor." Ruan Zhou softened his tone. Madam Ruan also looked at her beautiful daughter and sighed.

General Zhenyuan and his son are probably dead and gone, so his daughter can no longer stay in the palace. He wants to be a royal relative, but not just for two years...

"Liu Zheng, the Crown Princess is still being selected. I heard it's the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, Gu An, Gu Qinghe. Have you heard Concubine Li mention her?" Ruan Zhou gathered his thoughts and the topic returned to the Crown Prince.

Ruan Liuzheng heard this, holding her handkerchief and shaking her head, "My daughter only heard from Concubine Li that Shoukang Palace once summoned an old lady from an official family outside the palace, and one of them was from the Gu family."

When Mrs. Ruan heard this, she remembered the rumors at the Lu family's birthday banquet. Because she did not go, she only heard them from hearsay. She did not take them seriously. Her sister, Concubine Li, was in the palace, and there must be a place for her daughter in the Eastern Palace. The Ruan family and the Zhenyuan General's Mansion would not make things too bad.

Thinking about it now, it didn't seem to be groundless. She shifted uneasily and said, "Liu Zheng, you should go serve your aunt and find out what's going on here."

"I just said that you can't stay in the palace anymore." Ruan Zhou said.

"Then come back and wait until the New Year is over, when General Zhenyuan's mansion comes to visit and take Liu Zheng away to be a widow?" Mrs. Ruan retorted.

Ruan Zhou was speechless for a moment.

"I will go to the palace to accompany my aunt for a while. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will go back home." Ruan Liuzheng said. After thinking about it, she still wanted to fight for herself.

How could she easily give up on someone like the Crown Prince's cousin? Even if the Crown Prince had no feelings for her, how many of her confidants' marriages were truly in sync?

If they really could connect with each other, why would there be so many women in the backyard? If every woman could connect with this man, then his heart would be like a honeycomb.

Besides, right now, she had no other choice. Who was Gu Qinghe?

When Ruan Zhou heard his daughter say this, he didn't say anything else. He was very confused and couldn't come up with any good ideas.

"Knock knock knock—" There was a knock on the door, "Master, there's a letter."

Ruan Zhou's expression instantly turned serious when he heard this. "Take it to the study. I'll be there soon."

"Yes."

Ruan Zhou stood up after saying this and said, "Liu Zheng, go back to your room and talk to your mother."

Arriving in the study, Ruan Zhou carefully examined the red wax seal of the envelope. There was a special symbol painted on it, which looked like a fish turning into a dragon.

After that, he opened the envelope, read it carefully, lowered his hands, thought for a moment, read it again, smiled slightly, and then lit it and burned it.

The next morning, Gu Qinghe woke up feeling refreshed. Just as she finished dressing, she heard Yingchun talking to someone outside.

"Who's here?" Gu Qinghe asked.

"To answer your question, young lady, it was Aunt Liu who was with the old lady. She said that the old lady missed you and wanted you to go to her place for breakfast." After Wangchun finished speaking, he curled his lips slightly.

The second young lady must be there too, and she would probably say something sarcastic again, but the young lady didn't want to make a fuss, otherwise she would have picked a fight with the second aunt this morning.

Gu Qinghe nodded after hearing this, "I understand."

My grandmother would invite me over for breakfast and had even specifically asked Mother Liu to come over. This invitation could not be refused.

"By the way, take my new string of beads with you."
