Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 131 Marry Lu Wangzhou?

Everyone present was a little surprised to hear Prince Jin say this. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the emperor mentioned this matter to pave the way for the crown prince, and Prince Jin should not have come forward at this time.

Prince Jin looked at Xiao Jingheng's cold face and smiled softly, "Father, I am worried. Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have a wife yet. How can I let you worry about concubines?"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. They are all my sons. I won't show favoritism."

The Prince of Jin chuckled inwardly, but appeared respectful on the outside. "Since that's the case, this time when I returned to the capital, I actually ran into a woman who struck me at first sight and is unforgettable. I beg Your Majesty to grant me your blessing."

Xiao Jingheng looked at Prince Jin coldly. His half-smile made Xiao Jingheng want to vomit.

However, it is inappropriate to cause a quarrel between brothers for a woman in public, which will displease the emperor.

"My son, I took care of you that day..."

"Father..." Xiao Jingheng stood up, his voice drowning out Prince Jin's and interrupting him.

The emperor smiled indifferently and said to the people below: "This son has grown up and there is no need to keep him."

Everyone laughed in agreement, and the matter was over. The Queen Mother looked at Prince Jin, then at the Emperor, and sighed. It was a good thing for the Emperor to have many sons, but it also had its disadvantages, as it was not easy to treat them all equally.

The palace banquet was almost over, and the foreign ministers left the palace with their families. Gu Qinghe was walking beside Gu An, while Old Lady Gu, Mrs. Li, and Gu Ruoxing were walking in front.

Gu Ruoxing didn't do anything tonight. Of course, that was mainly because she didn't dare to interrupt.

Gu Qinghe followed Gu An back to the courtyard of the third room. Wangchun was waiting at the door with a smile on her face. Gu Qinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief, as he had been tense for the whole day.

"Father, I've made up my mind." Gu Qinghe followed Gu An to the main hall. "Marry Lu Wangzhou."

"Qinghe, your mother and I have always respected your opinion. We expressed this sentiment when Wangzhou first came to Beijing, but you didn't react." Gu An said, "Later, Madam Lu made another scene. Your mother said that such a mother-in-law is difficult to get along with. Being a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is different from being a familiar neighbor's aunt. I thought we should just let it go."

"Later, your mother and the Chen family got along well and arranged a matchmaking, but it was disrupted by the Crown Prince, who came with the Empress Dowager." Gu An said, shaking his head. "Speaking of which, Madam Lu's affair was also done under the Crown Prince's coercion and inducement."

Gu Qinghe sat quietly aside, listening to his father speak.

"After seeing that the Crown Prince was interested in you, everyone in our Gu family, except your mother and I, who wanted to see what you thought, was waiting for the imperial edict to arrive at our house sooner."

"If you want to find another family, I'm afraid it's impossible. Now Wangzhou comes to you again. He is a responsible and courageous child. I watched him grow up. As your father, I can't find any fault with him." When Gu An said this, Gu Qinghe knew that his father still supported him.

"I told your mother that even if Madam Lu came to Beijing, she would stay in Lin Mansion, so she could rest assured."

"Thank you, father. I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you." Gu Qinghe stood up and bowed deeply to her father.

Gu An quickly waved his hand and helped her up. "It's my inability as a father. I said I would protect you, but now I have no way to do so. I'm really ashamed. Fortunately, there is Wangzhou, who treats you sincerely."

"Father, stop talking like that. It's almost midnight. You should get some rest. I'll go back first." Gu Qinghe said.

It's late at night, and many people can't sleep, but the reasons are different, some are excited, some are suspicious...

In Lu Wangzhou's bedroom at the Lu Mansion, the lights were still on. A lot of papers were piled on the table, with different patterns drawn on them, all of which looked like hairpins.

Near Lu Wangzhou's left hand, a pearl earring was lying there quietly. He glanced at it from time to time, as if the owner of the earring was standing right in front of him.

"Young Master, please go to bed early. I will deliver the letter you wrote to the master tomorrow morning." Yuanxiao looked at the earrings on the table with a smile on his face. This afternoon, when Wangchun came hurriedly, their young master laughed so ostentatiously for the first time. He also hoped from the bottom of his heart that the young master's wife would be the third girl. He felt that it was a match made in heaven and it was nothing more than this. Unfortunately, the lady made a mistake. Fortunately, the final result was good.

"Yuanxiao, you go down first." Lu Wangzhou didn't even raise his head, his eyes still fixed on the drawing in his hand.

Tonight's full moon hangs in the sky, shining on Lu Wangzhou's study and the window lattices of the East Palace.

"Your Highness, you have to attend the morning court tomorrow. You have been busy all day today. You should take a rest." Han Desheng whispered while carrying the lamp oil.

Han Desheng really felt sorry for the prince. On the one hand, he paid attention to the guards in the palace, on the other hand, he kept an eye on the movements of Prince Jin, and in his heart he was still thinking about Miss Gu San. He was like a man with three heads and six arms.

Xiao Jingheng frowned tightly, feeling uneasy, especially after what Prince Jin had done today. He was certain that what Prince Jin said was not the most crucial reason. The most important thing was that Prince Jin wanted to go against him.

"Keep a close eye on Prince Jin and report any signs of trouble."

"Yes."

The next morning, Gu An got up early and went to the palace to attend court. He met Lu Wangzhou at the door. It was obvious that he had been waiting here for a while.

"Teacher, what a coincidence that I am traveling with you?" Lu Wangzhou said with a smile and bowed.

"Let's go." Gu An also smiled.

"Teacher, after finishing today's work, Wangzhou wants to meet and talk to the third young lady." Lu Wangzhou asked.

"After the court session, come to my house and sit down. I haven't played chess with you for a long time." Gu An also agreed readily.

"Thank you, teacher." Lu Wangzhou smiled heartily.

At noon, Gu Qinghe came to Bai's room. Seeing Bai's face was a mixture of joy and sorrow, she knew that her father had finished talking to her mother.

"Mother, is my brother still sleeping?" Gu Qinghe walked to his mother's side with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Bai hummed, "Qinghe, please sit down. Last night, your father told me that our family is a well-known and respectable family, but in the face of imperial power, we are like an ant trying to shake a tree."

Gu Qinghe listened to her mother's sigh and quickly advised: "Mother, you are still in confinement after childbirth. You can't be sad and cry. It's very harmful to your health. Besides, now is a bright future. Fortunately, there is still Lu Wangzhou."

"Qinghe, if Wangzhou's career is not going well because of this incident, Madam Lu will definitely catch you and make your life unhappy..." Bai said with a frown.

Gu Qinghe reached out and stroked her mother's brow, "Mom, don't think too much. I believe in Lu Wangzhou."

"The human heart is the most changeable thing. Don't blame mother for thinking too much." Mrs. Bai sighed.

"Mother just gave birth to my brother, so she's a little sentimental. Relax and look forward." Gu Qinghe comforted her, "Even if everything you think of has happened, if it can't be improved, then we can divorce and go home, and not be a couple with resentment."
