Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 222 Concubine Li won’t bother me

The old lady smiled and waved her hand. "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that your third uncle wants to divorce your third aunt these days, and they've been making a bit too much noise."

When Mrs. Bai heard this, her face changed, but she still maintained a decent smile. She couldn't have a sad face when her daughter came back.

"Mother, what's the point of telling the Crown Princess what you said about my third brother and his wife?" Bai asked with a smile.

Gu Qinghe picked up the teacup and listened to her grandmother say, "Isn't this all because of what happened the day before the Crown Princess's wedding?"

After hearing this, Gu Qinghe knew what was going on. The incident of Third Aunt tearing up the wedding couplets was the fuse, and Third Uncle finally exploded.

"Grandma, no matter what the matter is, behind closed doors, it's the Gu family's private affairs. If I get involved in Uncle Three and Aunt Three's private affairs, it will be troublesome. If the matter gets out, I'm afraid our Gu family will suffer as well."

Gu Qinghe's tone was indifferent, and anyone with a discerning eye could hear that she didn't want to get involved in this matter.

"Grandma, I just returned home and you said that it's inappropriate for a junior like me to interfere in the affairs of the elders. I will be criticized. Why don't you tell me something I can take charge of?"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Gu smiled awkwardly, "What the Crown Princess said makes sense. I was just thinking too narrowly. Please don't overthink it."

"Grandma, how could that be?" Gu Yueru smiled and tried to smooth things over. Her grandmother was too anxious. Seeing that her status had been raised by her third sister, she looked down on her third aunt who was always causing trouble recently.

When she came here this morning, she heard her mother, Mrs. Li, say that her grandmother asked her mother to persuade her third aunt to live in the farm for a while.

In my grandmother’s eyes, there was only the Gu family’s plaque, not the people in the Gu family.

After this topic was brought up, they talked about other family matters and the atmosphere became harmonious again.

In the front yard, Xiao Jingheng and Gu An sat in the main hall, while Gu Ping, Gu Hong, and Gu Yueru's husband Lu Xuezeng sat below to keep them company.

At this moment, for some reason, Han Desheng looked at the prince, who seemed a little uncomfortable in front of Old Taishan. Perhaps this was how a son-in-law would feel when meeting his father-in-law.

"The Crown Princess is in the East Palace. Whether she goes to the palace or not, she hasn't caused any trouble to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right?" Gu An asked with a smile.

He naturally knew that his daughter would definitely behave appropriately, but out of courtesy, he still had to ask.

"Don't worry, father-in-law. The Crown Princess is well-mannered and acts with moderation." Xiao Jingheng said with a smile.

Gu An nodded when he heard this, and Gu Ping smiled again and said, "It seems that the emperor is very discerning and has given you a good marriage."

"That's right." Xiao Jingheng smiled, then looked at his father-in-law, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will treat Qinghe with all my heart and won't let her suffer any grievances."

"In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Gu An said.

"Your Highness, my eldest brother and my second brother, the steward came to say that lunch is ready. Please move over." Gu Hong listened to the steward's words from the door, turned around and bowed.

Everyone moved to the dining room, and Gu Qinghe also started to serve the dishes.

Old Madam Gu had just been humiliated, and she spoke much less now than when she first met the Crown Princess.

Old Madam Gu originally thought of telling the Crown Princess that Gu Hong wanted to divorce because Wang Shi caused trouble before her wedding, so that the Crown Princess would have a good impression of him. Then she could take advantage of the situation and ask her to take care of Gu Ruoxing.

However, I never expected that the Crown Princess didn't want to care about this matter.

"Grandma, hurry up and eat." Gu Qinghe said with a smile, "Third Uncle will definitely be able to handle it himself, don't worry too much."

"Yes, thanks to the Crown Princess for her good wishes." The old lady said with a forced smile.

After lunch, Gu Qinghe followed her mother back to the second room. Her courtyard remained the same as before. Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Your father said that this place belongs to you alone. Even if your brother gets married and has a daughter, he can't take it away."

"Father really thinks long-term. My brother won't leave yet." Gu Qinghe chuckled.

"The night before last, your father was late in going to bed. I went to the study in the front and saw him wiping away tears while looking at the handwriting you wrote when you were a child," said Mrs. Bai with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinghe choked up and uttered, "Mother, I'm fine. Don't worry."

"I know." Bai said, "It can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats you well at the moment, and his eyes are full of affection. Don't hold on to the idea of ​​being angry anymore. Stick to your heart and enjoy his kindness to you. That's the only way to make the most of it."

"I know."

"Okay, you take a rest. I'll go see your brother and be back soon." Mrs. Bai smiled and pushed her daughter onto the bed, then closed the door and went out.

Bai came outside and gave Yingchun a wink, and the latter followed her and walked away.

"How is it? Is everything going well for the Crown Princess?" asked Bai.

"To reply to Madam, everything went smoothly. The handkerchief was taken away by Madam Li who served the Empress Dowager," Yingchun said.

"Are you used to it?" Bai asked.

"I think he's adapted quite well," Yingchun said. "The Crown Prince seems to like the tea you brought for the Crown Princess."

"Then I'll ask Madam Liu to bring you some later." Bai said without hesitation, "How did you give the reward when you arrived at the East Palace?"

"The Crown Princess directly gave each person half a string of coins and had the eunuch in charge distribute them directly," Yingchun said. "After the reward money was distributed, the palace maids' eyes lit up when they saw the Crown Princess."

Upon hearing this, Bai smiled and said, "Okay, knowing how to give rewards is also a skill."

After talking to Yingchun, Bai Shi did not go back to see Gu Feng, but went straight back to the room where Gu Qinghe was.

"Qinghe, your father said that the emperor asked you to take charge of the harem?"

"Yes, the Phoenix Seal is temporarily with me now." Gu Qinghe said.

"If I manage the affairs of the harem, I'll inevitably be involved with the Crown Prince's biological mother, Concubine Li." Bai frowned and said, "It's not easy to do."

Gu Qinghe smiled upon hearing this, "Mother, don't worry about it. It's true that Concubine Li is the Crown Prince's biological mother, but she's not really his mother, only his concubine's mother. That's one reason. The palace values ​​rules the most, and human relationships don't trump rules. That's another reason."

"Empress Li will not bother me." Gu Qinghe said.

Mrs. Bai nodded as she watched her daughter speak so confidently. "Just be aware of what's going on. In this inner palace, taking care of yourself is the most important thing."

"Mom, if you insist on it again, I can recite it by heart."

The mother and daughter chatted and laughed, and Yingchun knocked on the door, "Crown Princess, we should go back. The sun is about to set."

Upon hearing this, Bai also quickly stood up and said, "Yes, a woman must return to her husband's house before sunset. Go back quickly."

Gu Qinghe said softly, "I understand."

When they brought Yingchun and Wangchun out, Xiao Jingheng was already standing in front of the carriage. Gu An and others, as well as the old lady and Li, had already arrived.

"Take care of yourselves, father often writes to me." Gu Qinghe said to his father.

"If mother-in-law is free, she can often go to the Eastern Palace to visit the Crown Princess." Xiao Jingheng said with a smile.

Bai nodded when he heard this, "Okay, let's go back."
