Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 170: The servant said that it is more comfortable outside the palace

However, there was no need for that. Instead, she wanted to have a meeting with Concubine Li.

Gu Qinghe chuckled, "Thank you, Your Highness. This doesn't solve the fundamental problem. Besides, I'm not that fragile. You know, I'm very capable and can handle things."

"I know, but I still want you to feel more comfortable."

"Your Highness, I've told you that life outside the palace is more comfortable and satisfying." Gu Qinghe said coldly.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingheng moved his hands behind his back and felt his scalp tingling, which spread all the way to his fingertips and even his chest.

"From now on, if Concubine Li comes to me again, you don't have to care. You are just blocking the way and not venting the problem. Not only will it not solve the problem, but it will make it more serious." Seeing that Xiao Jingheng didn't say anything, Gu Qinghe said something else.

Of course, she couldn't solve the problem, nor did she want to solve it. After all, she had no intention of getting along well with Concubine Li.

"Your Highness, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave now." Gu Qinghe bowed politely and then walked into the palace with Yingchun.

Yingchun followed the girl and walked five or six meters away before she let out a long sigh. Their girl was really brave, but how could the prince know that the girl was capable and capable?

Did she miss something?

Xiao Jingheng stood in place, his back was not as straight as before. Han Desheng was holding a lantern beside him, not daring to look up. The prince had never been humiliated like this since he was a child. Even the emperor had never spoken so harshly.

Last time at Prince Yan's Mansion, the third young lady left the Crown Prince like this, said what she wanted to say, and left. This time she did the same thing, and she also criticized the Crown Prince's enthusiasm very harshly.

No matter how deep the feelings are, you can't be so confident, right?

Han Desheng was afraid that the prince would be angry, so he gently advised: "Your Highness, I think the third lady is also anxious for a moment. After all, your mother is not liked by her. As your wife, she must be anxious. If you take action, she will appear to be incompetent. Besides, why should you interfere in the affairs between these women?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingheng snorted and laughed. Yes, this was what he thought in his previous life. He only saw the calm surface of the harem but could not see the turbulent undercurrents inside.

Also, because of his compensatory mentality towards his biological mother, Concubine Li, he was blindly filial and followed her wishes in everything, which ended up pushing his partner into an embarrassing situation.

Now, it was normal for Gu Qinghe to feel emotional when Concubine Li was mentioned, and it was also understandable that she vented her emotions on him. After all, if he hadn't wanted to marry her, she would have had no chance to meet Concubine Li in this life.

After all, this is what he deserves.

"I know. Let's go back. We've been out for a long time." Xiao Jingheng looked at the sky. There was no moon, only a few stars.

Gu Qinghe returned to the hall and sat next to his mother. The old lady was still talking to someone next to her. It was unknown which family the old lady was from.

Anyway, ever since Gu Qinghe was married to the Eastern Palace, Old Lady Gu's social life has become much richer. The old lady who usually has no say will now take the initiative to come over and greet them when they meet.

Old Mrs. Gu was also happy about this and taught her daughters-in-law to get along well with the wives of other families, as it would not do any harm.

As I said, the old lady was the happiest about this arranged marriage, followed by the eldest wife, while the second and third wives were both dissatisfied in their own ways.

"Look, Concubine Li is serving the Empress Dowager upstairs." Mrs. Bai chuckled and leaned close to her daughter's ear. She covered her hands with her sleeves and pointed upwards. Concubine Li was kneeling beside the Empress Dowager's table, busy watching the Empress Dowager's eyes and setting the dishes.

"Empress Dowager, that's great. When you get married in the future, please visit her more often." After Bai finished laughing, she gave her mother another instruction.

Gu Qinghe hummed softly, then shifted his gaze to look at Xiao Jingheng who had just entered, then lowered his head, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip.

Xiao Jingheng returned to his seat, and within a few breaths, he was once again the gentle and elegant Crown Prince.

Concubine Li had been kneeling beside the Empress Dowager for two quarters of an hour. Her legs were numb. She had never been treated like this since the late Queen passed away.

The Empress Dowager called her over today and didn't say anything, just asked her to serve the food.

Concubine Li was extremely annoyed. On the one hand, her son ignored her feelings, and on the other hand, the Empress Dowager embarrassed her. She was an old concubine, and under her were younger concubines like Zhaoyi and Jieyushi, who all looked at her like this.

Concubine Li would occasionally glance at the emperor, signaling him to rescue her, but he was only busy greeting the ministers. He only praised her for her filial piety when she first came to serve the Empress Dowager.

But, she doesn't want to be so filial...

"Concubine Li, you see the emperor is useless. Even if I asked him to serve the dishes himself, he would have to do it for filial piety and set an example for his subjects, don't you think?" The Empress Dowager put down her chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed to her by Nanny Lin, and gently touched her lips with it.

"Yes, I don't think about anything else. It is my blessing to be able to serve the Empress Dowager." Concubine Li raised her head and said with a smile.

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Li's face and smiled. Concubine Li was pretty, although she was stupid, but she could still say nice things. What a contradiction.

Perhaps, the emperor doted on her for so many years because he valued this contrast in her.

She naturally couldn't really embarrass Concubine Li at the banquet. "Concubine Li, as a concubine in the harem, you only need to serve the emperor. I don't want to embarrass my son's concubine. When the queen was here, I only told her if I had any problems."

Concubine Li lowered her head and replied, "Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, for your consideration."

"Do you know why?" The Empress Dowager chuckled again and looked over, waiting for Concubine Li's answer.

"The Empress Dowager is generous and the Empress is perfect in her work, so you don't have to worry too much." Concubine Li frowned and squeezed out these two points.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother shook her head. If Concubine Li really confronted the Crown Princess, she would have no chance of winning. It all depended on whether the younger generation was willing to give in to her or not.

"This is a matter of etiquette," the Queen Mother said with a smile. "I only have one daughter-in-law, the late Queen. Naturally, the late Queen is the mother of the current princes and the mother-in-law of their sons and daughters-in-law."

When Concubine Li heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Did the Empress Dowager mean that she had no control over Gu Qinghe?

But, there's no Empress in the palace right now? As the Crown Prince's biological mother, would it be a crime to disregard etiquette and law if I said a few words?

Concubine Li was very angry, but she knew that the Empress Dowager would not tolerate her showing even the slightest displeasure, so she lowered her head respectfully and said, "Yes, I will remember the Empress Dowager's teachings."
