Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 81: He is indeed a bit of a disappointing husband...

Zhang Wu once again held an even more precious box, jumped onto the roof, and disappeared into the night. He sped along the deserted streets, hoping to return to the East Palace as soon as possible, thinking that the prince would be the first to hear the good news he brought back tomorrow morning.

I can’t even imagine how happy the prince must be. Wouldn’t he jump for joy when he receives a reply from his sweetheart?

Wow, one of the four great joys in life is right before my eyes. What will the prince reward me with?

He needs to make more money so that he can find a wife for Zhang Wen...

Zhang Wu, who had no idea what Gu Qinghe had put in the wooden box, was still immersed in his own fantasy. He fell asleep in the East Palace guard room, hugging the box tightly.

At the beginning of the Yin hour, the brothers in the room were ready to get up, as they would follow the Crown Prince into the palace for the morning court session.

Zhang Wu also stood up. In fact, he couldn't fall asleep early because he was excited.

"Zhang Wu, why did you come back? Are you here to get scolded again?" A guard next to him joked. They didn't know what Zhang Wu's secret mission was, but that didn't stop them from asking about Zhang Wu's scolding.

"What nonsense? I came back to collect the reward." Zhang Wu shouted with full confidence.

"Oh~" Several people around also laughed and said, "Then hurry up and go. The Crown Prince will enter the palace soon, and your reward will be waiting. The Crown Prince wants to see the residence prepared for Prince Jin."

Zhang Wu was so anxious that his hair stood on end when he heard this. How could this be possible? What if the third lady had put a letter of invitation inside? He couldn't miss it. What was so important about the King of Jin...

Everyone watched Zhang Wufeng rushing towards the Crown Prince's main courtyard and laughed, "It seems this guy has really made a contribution this time. Maybe he will really be rewarded."

Zhang Wu ran to the main courtyard and saw Han Desheng's apprentice Baoshun leaning against the pillar at the door and yawning.

"Baoshun, is the prince dressed now?" Zhang Wu asked with a smile, "Go in and take a look. If it's convenient, please tell him that I've brought back a return gift."

Baoshun rubbed his eyes and said, "Brother Zhang, it's you. Wait a minute."

Having said that, Xiao Baoshun walked in quietly.

Xiao Jingheng didn't sleep well again last night. He couldn't sleep again because he was wondering whether Zhang Wu had successfully delivered the glass lamp to Gu Qinghe. Secondly, he was thinking that if he gave it to her, considering her current behavior of being eager to draw a clear line between herself and him, she might not accept it.

Later, after recalling the few times they had met in this life, he began to recall his past life.

In a daze, he fell into the scenes of his previous life. The servants of Fengyi Palace kept carrying blood-stained water out, like a file, and they seemed to be endless. He felt heartbroken as he watched, and walked into the bedroom. There was a glass lamp brought from the East Palace next to the bed.

He remembered that Gu Qinghe said that using this at night would not make the eyes so tired and he could read more account books.

Queen Gu Qinghe looked at him with lifeless eyes, saluted stiffly, then looked away at the quilt on her legs, which was embroidered with a dragon and a phoenix.

"Qinghe, I had no intention of saying goodbye today..." Xiao Jingheng opened his mouth to speak, but heard Gu Qinghe's sarcastic laugh, "Today is a good day for His Majesty and Cousin Ruan, no, Concubine Ruan, you two. In the final analysis, it's my fault that the child didn't choose a good day to say goodbye to me."

As Gu Qinghe spoke, she reached out and touched her belly. The bulge that had been there before was now flat.

When Xiao Jingheng wanted to speak again, Han Desheng ran over hurriedly, "Your Majesty——"

Gu Qinghe also looked over, and Han Desheng saluted hurriedly, "Your servant pays respects to the Queen."

"Han Desheng, please go out and talk. Otherwise, I won't be able to rest in peace." Gu Qinghe waved his hand. Xiao Jingheng looked at the pale hand. The green hand that the two of them used to play the piano together was now bloodless.

"I have something to tell you. I'll come see you later."

The scene in the dream changed, and Han Desheng said with sweat on his forehead: "Your Majesty, the King of Jin ran away from the palace outside the capital. I don't know when he dug a tunnel."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingheng looked back at the bedroom, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly left with Han Desheng, "Let Jinyiwei Chen Peng come to see me immediately."

After taking two steps, he added, "And a few people from the Ministry of War are here too!"

When Xiao Jingheng dreamed of this, he wanted to wake up very much, but he failed. The scene changed and he came to the palace of his loving mother, the Empress Dowager.

The newly promoted Imperial Concubine, Ruan Liuzheng, was accompanying the Empress Dowager to have tea. This was the first time that she, as the Emperor's woman, poured tea for the Empress Dowager. Before, she was just a cousin.

As for why she is still called aunt, it is because among the women in the harem, the only one who can call the empress dowager "mother" is Gu Qinghe from Fengyi Palace.

"Aunt Empress Dowager, today is truly an auspicious day. I've hired several experts to help with the auspiciousness." Ruan Liuzheng raised the handkerchief in her hand and covered her mouth with it. "Today, it can be said that it is a double blessing."

Double happiness?

The former Concubine Li, now the Empress Dowager, was not very happy when she heard Ruan Liuzheng's words. She just forced a smile and said nothing.

No matter how much he disliked Gu Qinghe, he had no hatred towards the child in her belly. He was still his legitimate grandson and the emperor's legitimate son.

Ruan Liuzheng seemed to realize her slip of the tongue and quickly corrected herself, "I think the Empress was busy with my entry into the palace and was a little tired. This time, there was the incident today. I think the Empress is still young and there will be opportunities in the future."

The Queen is more than one year younger than me...

"Besides, I've entered the palace now, and I think I can help my cousin the emperor have children. If the empress doesn't mind, she can bring the child I give birth to to Fengyi Palace and register it under her name. Liu Zheng will definitely not complain." Ruan Liu Zheng said with a blushing face.

There is a huge difference between the legitimate son born from the queen's belly and the legitimate son registered in the name, and the emperor himself knows it very well.

"That's all." The Queen Mother waved her hand, obviously not wanting to say more.

"You are so brave! I won't touch a finger of yours, you vicious woman." Xiao Jingheng, who was watching from the sidelines, shouted and woke up.

After that, he never fell asleep again. He didn't dare to sleep again, for fear of seeing a side of himself that he had never known before. It would be unbearable and would make him appear extremely ignorant.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. Zhang Wu is outside asking to see you. He said he has brought a return gift and wants to know if you are free now." Bao Shun said softly.

Xiao Jingheng hesitated when he heard this. If he hadn't had that dream, he would have definitely waved his hand and let anyone in, but now he felt very unsure.

Because from an outsider's perspective, he, as a husband, is indeed not very presentable to Gu Qinghe...
