Chapter 103 Are you busy?
Madam Chen, who had been praised by the emperor for her good vision, was also a decisive woman. She was currently in the mansion, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find material for her youngest son, Chen Yuan, to make some new clothes. She also wanted to make an appointment with Madam Gu and bring Miss Gu San to visit Xiangguo Temple together.
Otherwise, the two mothers would be chatting animatedly, thinking about their grandchildren, but if their children were unhappy, then all their efforts would be in vain.
Of course, this is an extremely rare situation. As long as her son is not blind, he will not dislike the girl from the Gu family.
"Mom, what are you doing? Are we moving to a new house?" Chen Yuan finally returned home and was called to his mother's yard. As soon as he entered the house, he could hardly find a place to stand because it was filled with spread-out boxes.
For my mother, who has never been extravagant, this is a first in history.
"Why buy a new house? I've saved my money for you to marry." Mrs. Chen glanced at her son and said to her mother behind her, "Hurry up and get the tailor over here."
"I'm not in a hurry. I told you before that Jiang Huizhou's life or death is still uncertain. We agreed to hold the wedding one after the other." Chen Yuan waved his hand and stepped back.
"Returning to the boat is a special matter, otherwise the child would have run away." Mrs. Chen grabbed her son without saying anything, as if she was seizing a rare opportunity.
"Let's not talk about Huizhou. We are both tutors to the Crown Prince, and he hasn't even married a Crown Princess yet." Chen Yuan still had a shield.
Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes when she heard this. Before she set her eyes on Gu Qinghe, she had naturally made some inquiries and heard that the Crown Prince had a good impression of Princess Yunhua's acquaintance.
Sometimes she felt that she was catching up with the prince. Of course, this should be an illusion. How could the prince make things difficult for his minister and brother who grew up with him?
Just looking at Jiang Huizhou's fiancée, Ruan Liuzheng has been in the palace for so many years. Even if there are rumors, people close to her all know that the prince has no thoughts about women at all. He probably just feels sorry for his cousin, that's all.
The girl from the Ruan family is as pretty as a lotus emerging from the water, and she behaves appropriately. Even the prince is not tempted by her. This shows that she is truly a gentleman.

Gu Qinghe was also taking measurements and preparing to make two new sets of clothes, not for meeting anyone, but for her elder sister to wear on her wedding day.
Mrs. Bai looked at her daughter, whose figure was becoming more and more beautiful day by day, with a smile in her eyes, "My daughter, you have grown up, and it is time to find a partner for you."
Gu Qinghe smiled faintly and listened to his mother's words. This was the first time his mother formally mentioned marriage to him. She had always talked about it as a joke before. It seemed that his mother was quite satisfied with Madam Chen.
"Mother, I am willing to stay with you and father at home forever, as long as my sister-in-law doesn't dislike me in the future."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai patted Gu Qinghe's arm. "Besides, what are you talking about when you talk about your younger brother? If your younger sister hears it, she will be unhappy."
"Your father and I are happy to have another child. It's not mainly because of us, but more importantly because we're giving you a blood relative. When we're gone, you'll always have someone to take care of you, whether it's a younger sister or a younger brother." Bai looked at Gu Qinghe seriously and said, but the latter lowered his head to look at the cloth, pretending that there were no tears in his eyes.
"I know everything. You and my father are the best to me."
Bai said this not to see her daughter cry, but because she was afraid that the mother and daughter of the third house would say something unpleasant in front of Qinghe, such as the Second Master and the Second Madam are in their thirties and still want a child, they must want a son. She would refute such words every time she heard them, but she might not encounter them every time.
Bai told Gu An about this concern, and Gu An asked her to explain it directly to her daughter. They wanted her daughter to have someone behind her so that she would have more confidence when she got married in the future.
Gu An was not the eldest son, so he had no mission to carry on the family line, and therefore he did not care much about these things. Besides, he was not a person bound by worldly things, otherwise he would not have married Bai.
Mrs. Bai raised her hand to smooth her daughter's hair. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Madam Liu come in and say, "Madam, Princess Yunhua has sent a letter looking for our daughter."
Gu Qinghe pinched the handkerchief and pressed the corner of her eyes, "Mother, I'll go take a look first and come back to talk to you."
"Go."

Princess Yunhua came in a hurry with gifts, and Gu Qinghe also prepared tea to entertain her. Liu Yinshuang also came with her.
"We were just talking about whether Princess Yunhua could go out and play, but she actually came here on her own initiative." Liu Yinshuang looked at the agarwood boxes in the hands of the two maids behind Yunhua and smiled teasingly.
"Greetings to Princess Yunhua." Gu Qinghe also bowed with a smile.
"Oh, let's not have so many empty formalities between us." Yun Hua quickly reached out to appease Gu Qinghe, thinking: I won't be empty polite to you now, and you won't be empty polite to me in the future, that's all.
She kept thinking over and over what her cousin the Crown Prince had said last night. He would definitely not just sit there and watch. Gu Qinghe would most likely not be able to escape unless the Crown Prince wanted to let her go.
God knows, until the prince was twenty years old, he had never failed to get what he wanted, and he had never lost. Even in archery class, according to her brother, he had to hit the target through the center.
However, there are always unexpected events in life, and the prince may have encountered such an unexpected event. It is so difficult that for the prince, it means defeat.
Yunhua doesn't know, this is nothing...
"I heard that your eldest sister's wedding date has been moved forward, so your Gu family must be very busy, right?" Yunhua smiled faintly and started chatting about family matters.
Liu Yinshuang listened and smiled softly. Yunhua was really impatient and didn't hide anything at all. He just wanted to know what Qinghe was busy with recently, right?
"Yes, it's true that the Lu family moved up the wedding date, which is a bit hasty. Everyone in the family is busy with this matter." Gu Qinghe had already made a cup of tea.
Yun Hua was obviously relieved when he heard this. "Ah, thank you for your hard work. I guess we are disturbing you by coming here."
"No, my eldest sister is getting married, not me, so I'm not busy. It's the servants in the house who are busy." Gu Qinghe poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Yunhua.
"Ah, really?" Princess Yunhua was a little disappointed when she heard this. "Then your mother must be helping your aunt. She must be very busy, right?"
"No, my mother was pregnant and didn't ask her to go over to help. She stayed at home to entertain guests. It was quite relaxing and she was quite happy."
Very happy? Okay, then she got it. She would go back and polish it up and let her brother tell the prince.
"Oh, really? That's good." Yun Hua laughed dryly twice, deciding to finish his detective mission early. He changed his voice to a cheerful one: "Speaking of which, I also brought some toys that children like to play with. Let me show you, can you use them?"
