Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 126: Strike first to gain the upper hand

"Girls, the old lady is still waiting, let's go in quickly." Mother Liu spoke quickly. She was really afraid that the second girl would annoy the third girl.

"Let's go." Gu Ruoxing walked in front. She just couldn't stand Gu Qinghe's nonchalant look, as if he didn't take her seriously at all.

"Girl, why is the second girl like this? She said a while ago that she wanted to get along well with you." Wangchun glared at the second girl's back angrily.

"Let her be. Maybe we are just born to be incompatible." Gu Qinghe said as he also walked into the hall.

"Qinghe, come and sit next to grandma. I haven't seen you for a few days and I miss you so much." Old Mrs. Gu waved at Gu Qinghe with a smile on her face.

"Hello, Grandma." Gu Qinghe sat on the left side of Grandma Gu as she was told, while Gu Ruoxing sat on the right.

"I asked you sisters to come here mainly to talk to you. Your eldest sister married into the Lu family, and I feel empty inside. When you leave home, I, an old woman, will be even more lonely."

Old Mrs. Gu grabbed the hands of her two granddaughters and put them together, "I also told your eldest sister that sisters in the same family are connected by bones, so we should think about each other. The quarrels at your mother's house were all gone in the blink of an eye.

"Don't worry, grandma. My second uncle and second aunt are people who value friendship and loyalty. Under their guidance, my third sister will naturally not forget her family." Gu Ruoxing said.

"Second sister said everything I said."

"It's good that you have this thought." Mrs. Gu said, then looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "See how the small kitchen is preparing."

"Yes." Mother Liu responded and hurried out.

Inside the room, Old Madam Gu was asking Gu Qinghe if she was short of any clothes or jewelry.

Gu Ruoxing sat aside, feeling deeply neglected. Just now, out of consideration for her mother's family, her grandmother only asked about Gu Qinghe. Did this mean that she would be the one to be helped by Gu Qinghe in the future?

"Grandma, you are only concerned about asking about my third sister, and don't you care whether I am short of any jewelry?" Gu Ruoxing took the old lady's arm and asked with a smile.

When Mrs. Gu heard this, her first thought was denial. She thought that Gu Ruoxing was suitable to marry into a family of humble origins, as only such a family could tolerate her domineering temper.

"grandmother?"

Gu Ruoxing called out again. The old lady looked at her, then at Gu Qinghe, and her mind relaxed a little. Yes, if Qinghe were to marry Donggong, the Gu family would rise in status, and naturally Gu Ruoxing would also rise in status.

If all other descendants have high-ranking in-laws, but only Gu Ruoxing has a bad marriage...

"You don't have to go to the party. There's no rush for the jewelry. Grandmother won't let you go short of it." At the last moment, Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth and said cruelly.

"Grandmother? You didn't go last year. This year, you received an invitation from the Empress Dowager, and you only brought my third sister with you?" Gu Ruoxing said in disbelief.

"Isn't your father arranging a marriage for you?" Old Mrs. Gu said in a deep voice.

"Her father is also arranging a match for her," Gu Ruoxing said, pointing at Gu Qinghe.

"I don't have to go." Gu Qinghe said calmly, "Grandma, for the sake of fairness, you should not bring anyone with you."

This is not the result that Old Madam Gu wants. She must take Gu Qinghe with her.

"Gu Qinghe, if you don't want to go, don't drag me along." Gu Ruoxing now pointed her spearhead at Gu Qinghe again.

"Okay, you two go together. Remember to follow the rules and don't talk nonsense." Old Mrs. Gu said with determination.

"Yes, thank you grandma." Gu Ruoxing turned from crying to laughing. The speed of her face changing was even faster than the special skills of the opera troupe.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren had different thoughts. After dinner, they asked Mother Liu to bring out two sets of jewelry and sent the two granddaughters back. Only then did Mrs. Gu feel relieved.

"Old lady, you softened your heart when the second girl asked for help." said Mother Liu.

"It's not for her." The old lady waved her hand. "Go to bed early. Tomorrow you keep an eye on Ruoxing and don't let her show her head."

"Yes."

In the other palace, the residence of the Prince of Jin, a banquet was being held. There were many court officials, musicians, dancers, and two actors serving one. The scene was very lively with the sounds of teasing and giggles.

Ruan Zhou sat in the middle of the left side of Prince Jin, listening to Prince Jin talking with a smile on his face.

Just as they were enjoying themselves, a man who looked like a guard came over quickly and whispered something in the Prince of Jin's ear, "The day before yesterday, the Crown Prince took the Queen Mother to Xiangguo Temple and ran into the girl from the Gu family. I heard that the Queen Mother gave Miss Gu a bracelet."

"Which one? The one who talks about rules and virtues all the time?" King Jin smiled contemptuously.

"I don't know the details." The guard replied nervously, "But today I went to ask around in the shops on the street, and they all said it was Miss Gu."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is always talking about benevolence, righteousness, and morality. Naturally, he is a woman who likes to be disciplined. You can go down." Prince Jin smiled and waved his hand, not knowing what he was thinking about.

He wants Xiao Jingheng's kingdom, and he also wants the woman he loves. Even if he doesn't like her, he will put her in his backyard, not for anything else, just to make Xiao Jingheng uncomfortable.

"Lord Ruan, as an official from the Ministry of Rites, can't you see that the Eastern Palace has no mistress and the Crown Prince is childless?" Prince Jin asked coldly, looking at the fawning middle-aged official at the end. "The Crown Prince has already come of age, yet the Emperor is not anxious at all. As his brother, I am worried for him."

"In reply to your Highness, I and others have also brought this up, but the Emperor has suppressed it. It seems that the choice of the Crown Princess has already been decided, and we are just waiting for the right opportunity." When Ruan Zhou said this, he thought of his daughter, who was still stuck in the palace, neither high nor low.

He met Prince Jin again today. He was worthy of being a member of the royal family. His whole body had an aura that was not comparable to that of ordinary people. If his daughter could follow Prince Jin, even as a concubine, it would be better than wasting time in the palace.

Liu Zheng, she will be seventeen next year. Girls don't have much time to waste...

"Oh? This is really interesting. If there is a candidate you like, all you need to do is issue an imperial decree. Why are you still waiting for the woman's nod?" Upon hearing this, King Jin laughed in disbelief.

His brother, the prince, is a decisive and efficient person. You can tell from the fact that he sent people to the border. But he didn't expect that he would be so indecisive in love matters?

Is it because he has no experience with sex? Or is it because he doesn't want to force the woman and wants to take it step by step?

No matter what, in his opinion, women are like clothes, just toys. At most, the main wife is a little different, and as for the others, he can look at them if he likes them, and throw them aside if he doesn't like them.

He who strikes first gains the advantage, and he who strikes last will suffer the consequences. By the time he found the right tools, the good wood had already been cut down.

"Is she the girl from the Gu family in Rendefang?" Prince Jin asked with a smile.

Ruan Zhou was shocked when he heard this. The King of Jin already knew so much about this matter. His strength should not be underestimated. He quickly responded, "From what I know, it is indeed the Gu family."
