Chapter 161 If you hadn’t said that, I would have passed away long ago
People are always talking nonsense. Yunhua was just thinking that the prince hadn't made any move when Xiao Shizi's personal eunuch came to the gate and said, "Your servant greets the princess, Miss Gu, and Miss Liu."
"What's the matter?" Princess Yunhua asked knowingly, pretending not to see Gu Qinghe's suspicious look.
"In reply to the princess, the princess heard that Miss Gu San and Miss Liu were coming, and she wanted to invite them over to talk to them." The eunuch nodded and answered.
"Grandmother has invited you, why are you the one running errands?" Princess Yunhua really didn't expect her grandmother to appear here.
Seeing Yunhua's surprised expression, which didn't seem fake, Liu Yinshuang's suspicious expression also eased a lot. Otherwise, she would definitely ask, isn't he afraid that the Duke will be struck by lightning on the wedding day?
"My Lady, it was the Young Master who happened to be there. He said I could run faster than Madam, so he asked me to come over."
"Qinghe, Yinshuang, let's go over there?" Princess Yunhua asked from the side.
Since the elders have invited me, it is naturally difficult for the younger generation to refuse. What's more, the princess's status is there. Even if the emperor comes, he has to give this aunt some face.
Walking out of Princess Yunhua's courtyard, passing through the palace's garden, we arrived at the main courtyard.
Before entering the hall, I heard voices of laughter coming from inside. As expected, it was the voice of the prince.
Xiao Jingheng sat below the princess, listening to his great-aunt's words and answering them fluently, which made the old lady very happy. However, he kept turning the ring on his finger and felt anxious.
This was the first time he and Gu Qinghe met after his father had granted them the marriage, but he was even more anxious than when he learned that she was reborn.

"Princess, the princess is here with two young ladies." The nanny reminded softly, and the princess nodded. "Please come in quickly. I want to take a good look at our prince's wife today."
The princess joked and looked at the prince, but saw him tug at his collar, then put his hand on the teacup, put it down, and finally put it on the arm of the chair.
Well, when people are nervous, they will do more small movements, especially men. This is really true.
Xiao Yifei looked like he was enjoying the fun, glanced at the prince, then raised his chin at him and turned his gaze towards the door.
Three girls came in gracefully, stood still, and greeted the people present.
Xiao Jingheng had long stopped turning his ring, his eyes seemingly following Gu Qinghe's movements casually. Finally, he heard a sentence he had heard countless times in his previous life: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need to be so polite." Xiao Jingheng raised his hand without waiting for Gu Qinghefu to get down.
Seeing the prince so anxious, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his nose. This was really rare.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Gu Qinghe stood up calmly, then sat between Princess Yunhua and Liu Yinshuang, waiting for the old princess to speak first.
"Yunhua is getting married soon. You have a good relationship with her. Come and play with her for a day. I will be happy for her. Close friends are lifelong friends. Even after you get married, you must visit each other often." The old princess smiled and glanced at Gu Qinghe and Liu Yinshuang.
"Yes, it is our fate to have the princess as our friend." Gu Qinghe replied with a faint smile, and Liu Yinshuang nodded.
When Yunhua heard Gu Qinghe say the word "fate", she lowered her head with a guilty conscience. This friendship was not fake, but fate was man-made. At that time, she was willing to go to the girls' school because of the silver notes given by her cousin, the prince.
"Miss Gu San, speaking of fate, you and I do have some connection." The old princess continued with a smile. "At the beginning of the year, when you returned to Beijing with your parents, I happened to visit your Gu family. Unfortunately, you were unwell and I didn't get to see you. I felt a little sorry for it at the time."
The old princess didn't feel any regret at the time. She just thought that Miss Gu San didn't have that fate. If there was any pity, it was for Gu Qinghe. This girl who had just returned to Beijing didn't even come out for a walk on a road that could lead to the sky.
However, at this moment, the old princess would definitely say that it was a pity for her, otherwise she would introduce him to the Queen Mother and help her accomplish the good thing. This would be such a great favor.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinghe clasped her fingers together. Liu Yinshuang looked at her, afraid that she would show a hint of displeasure. If she showed this expression to the Crown Prince, it would be a bit awkward between an engaged couple, but it could also be considered a kind of interest. However, the person speaking was the old princess, the sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager. If she offended her, it would be difficult to say what would happen.
But seeing Gu Qinghe looking at the Crown Prince with a smile, and then looking at the Princess, "What you said is true. After all the twists and turns, it is still destined to be with you. Good things are never too late. Just think of it as good things take time."
Well, this woman should be suitable for royal life, Liu Yinshuang thought.
Xiao Jingheng looked at Gu Qinghe in a daze. This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a delicate Gu Qinghe. She was mostly cold and sarcastic when speaking to him.
Upon hearing this, the old princess nodded and thought to herself: The prince has good taste. This girl is beautiful, speaks beautifully, and has good manners. She asked herself, when she was her age, although she was also the princess of Yan, she could not do so well.
The Queen Mother is blessed, and it is worth it to sacrifice her old face. If Xiao Yifei can find such a granddaughter-in-law for her, she can go and sell her old face every day. She also has countless bracelets that can be given away...
"I love listening to you talk. After you get married to the prince, I will go to the palace to talk to the Queen Mother, and I will ask you to come along." The old princess smiled and glanced at the prince, whose ears were flushed.
"It's your honor." Gu Qinghe still answered with a smile.
"Okay, it's a deal." The old princess said, then turned and ordered, "Go and get the box from the dressing table."
"When I was young, their grandfather got a piece of pink crystal from Emperor Wen, and asked me to make three Ruyi pieces. I give them to you today, and I hope you can always be as good as you are." As the old princess spoke, the maid presented the box.
After the three of them thanked her, the old princess said that she was a little tired and told them to do as they pleased.
Gu Qinghe walked out the door and handed the box to Yingchun who was waiting at the door, "Keep it well."
She was admiring the good intentions of the old princess. She called people over this time simply for the sake of her granddaughter, so that she would have two long-term friends in the future.
Xiao Jingheng and Xiao Yifei were walking on the right side. Seeing Gu Qinghe stop to give instructions to the maid, he also slowed down his pace.
"If you don't talk to me, I'm probably going home." Xiao Yifei said, raising his hand and pointing to the sky.
"I know. If you hadn't said anything, I would have been there long ago." Xiao Jingheng said this and walked to Gu Qinghe's side.
