Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

"Didn't the man just now send a lantern? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also sent one. Which palace lantern is not better than the ones in the market?" Xiao Yifei said firmly.

"My Lord, you said last night that some people cannot be swayed by money." Han Desheng said in a low voice.

"That's a good question. It touches upon another point. Before you're sure of your feelings, you should express them with something from the beginning. Being willing to spend money is also a kind of thought." Xiao Yifei nodded after he finished speaking, very satisfied with his own insights.

Xiao Jingheng also wanted to send Gu Qinghe a lantern, but not just one, he wanted to send fifteen, to make up for all the gifts she had received over the years.

"Prince..." the voice of the chief guard sounded outside, "I have brought you the octagonal palace lantern."

The carriage stopped, Xiao Jingheng got off, took the palace lantern, jumped on the horse, and rode away.

Xiao Yifei saw that the direction the Crown Prince left was Rendefang. Wasn't the Gu Mansion in that direction? "Your Highness, you are such a good student, so perceptive. No wonder the teachers praise you so much. It turns out that you want to be with the teachers, and that makes them so happy."

Han Desheng couldn't bear to watch it at all, so he asked for a horse and followed.

When Gu Qinghe and her group got off the carriage, they saw the maidservant beside the first wife, Mrs. Li, waiting for them. She thought it was probably the same incident in the previous life, that the Lu family wanted to move up the wedding date.

Sure enough, I heard the maid hurriedly say: "This servant greets the eldest and third young ladies. Madam wants the eldest young lady to come over and talk to her. This servant has been waiting here for a while."

Gu Yueru left in a hurry, and Gu Qinghe stayed and told the servants to move the things bought today into the house, separating the main room and the second room.

Suddenly, Yingchun tugged at Gu Qinghe's sleeve and said, "Miss, that person is coming."

Who? Gu Qinghe looked up. Oh, it was the Dog Prince. She lowered her head again and continued to busy herself.

Xiao Jingheng looked at Gu Qinghe opposite him, who glanced at him, and then went about his own business as if no one was around, as if he were air, still holding the flower basket lantern given by Lu Wangzhou in his hand.

The light was soft, but he felt it was particularly dazzling...

He felt like he was feeling heavy pain in his heart tonight. Lu Wangzhou was one of them, but compared to Gu Qinghe's indifference, it was far less.

This kind of disregard was even more heartbreaking than her indifferent attitude when he went to Fengyi Palace in his previous life.

But he still walked forward with a smile on his face, "Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, I asked someone to make a palace lantern for you, I remember you used to..."

Gu Qinghe glanced around and took a step back. "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Please be careful with your words."

Xiao Jingheng's knuckles were already white as he gripped the handle. "Okay, I'll pay attention. This lamp, you hold it."

Gu Qinghe raised her hand upon hearing this, "Your Highness, can't you see? This servant is holding a lantern, the King of Lanterns tonight."

Xiao Jingheng listened to Gu Qinghe's almost boastful tone, his breathing became disordered, and the handle of the palace lantern was almost crushed by him. He pressed the tip of his tongue against his back teeth, and then put on a smile, "Is it just to join in the fun, following the custom? Or, if you take someone else's, you don't want mine anymore?"

Yingchun was also nervous watching from the side. Her daughter was so brave. Why did she reject this man again and again? Even if she was unwilling, she could just accept it pretending to be polite and then throw it away.

Gu Qinghe and Xiao Jingheng have been married for more than ten years, so they naturally knew that he must be unhappy now. He smiled on his face, but his words were full of accusations. To be able to do this, he was quite forbearing.

But what could he do? They had nothing to do with each other.

"To illuminate the road in the darkness, only a lamp is enough. Besides, I have already arrived home." Gu Qinghe smiled faintly and pointed to the plaque behind her, "Please go back."

"Take it." Xiao Jingheng didn't want to listen to that little mouth chattering of infuriating words anymore, so he reached out and stuffed the handle of the palace lantern into Gu Qinghe's hand. His fingers stroked across the back of her smooth hand, making him lose consciousness for a moment.

Then, what he saw was the palace lantern falling to the ground, and the red love knots adorning the bottom were stained by lamp oil. Then the flames spread over, and the red love knots turned into black ashes. When the summer night wind blew, they scattered and disappeared.

"How can I hold two lamps with one hand? Anyway, please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I will take my leave first." Gu Qinghe bowed.

Xiao Jingheng's back was covered with cold sweat, and the chill invaded from his back to his chest. He wanted to question her loudly, but he couldn't.

Han Desheng looked at the prince's hand, clenched it into a fist, loosened it, and then clenched it again. He was very nervous. This Third Miss Gu said that even her aunt looked down on her. She was simply a living ancestor.

Gu Qinghe's figure has disappeared, but the pain she left in Xiao Jingheng's heart is far from gone.

"Your Highness, let's go back." Han Desheng suggested in a low voice.

Gu Qinghe returned to her own courtyard. Yingchun, who had been patient all the way, finally asked, "Miss, that's the Crown Prince. Why did you treat him like that? Aren't you afraid of offending him and causing trouble for the Master?"

Gu Qinghe nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, Yingchun, you've considered it quite comprehensively, and you've even thought of the past. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. A ruler must be magnanimous and tolerant, otherwise how can he be worthy of the title of Crown Prince?"

Yingchun thought back to the girl's action of throwing the palace lantern. It was indeed an insult to the emperor, but the prince was still able to speak with a smile. His tolerance was really great. It turned out that all the people in the royal family were ruthless.

"Okay, take this King of Lanterns to show Wangchun, and then put it away." Gu Qinghe said.

"Girl—" Wangchun shouted excitedly as he ran over, "The second girl actually went out through the dog hole today—"

Gu Qinghe wasn't surprised. She had guessed it when she saw Gu Ruoxing before. "And then?"

Wangchun was a little surprised, but the girl was not surprised. She was the second Miss Gu from the capital, who always felt noble. She crawled through a dog hole, which was such a rude thing. The girl was really calm.

"Then, when I was coming back, I was blocked by Mama Liu from the old lady's yard. She is kneeling there now. Don't you want to go and see what's going on?" Wangchun asked excitedly, and the next sentence was about to come out, 'If you go, take me with you.'

"No." Gu Qinghe waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with us. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."
