Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 260 I thought you didn’t want to support the orthodoxy anymore

Later on, the atmosphere between the Queen Mother and the Grand Princess was no longer as harmonious as when they first met. Most of the time, they just walked forward in silence.

Occasionally, Gu Qinghe would point to the newly blooming flowers in the Imperial Garden, and the others would echo him, and then fall silent again.

Fortunately, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was right in front of them, and Gu Qinghe felt relieved.

It was at this time that Xiao Jingheng came with the emperor, and Prince Jin also came along. It seemed that the father and son were having a very happy time together.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager and my great-aunt." Xiao Jingheng and Prince Jin bowed together.

Gu Qinghe also paid his respects to the emperor, "Greetings to Father."

Wu Yanru also followed suit and saluted, "Greetings to the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Prince of Jin."

"No need for formalities." The emperor raised his hand and approached the empress dowager. Gu Qinghe was very considerate and took two steps back, letting the emperor be a filial son.

Xiao Jingheng looked at the Grand Princess, who looked unhappy; then he looked at the Crown Princess, who looked normal.

However, she always appears to be well behaved in front of others, and no one can tell anything is wrong.

If you can't see it, can you just pretend it doesn't exist? Xiao Jingheng asked himself honestly, and the answer was of course not, because he was just like that in his previous life.

Still, ask her.

What he has been pursuing in this life is that there will be no barriers between them, and he hopes that she can show her true emotions in front of him.

Therefore, he planned to wait until he got to the palace, find a chance, call out the Crown Princess, and ask her clearly.

Xiao Jingheng can't stand the problem staying overnight now. Anything that makes him feel uncomfortable must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise he won't be able to sleep at night...

Wu Yanru would secretly glance at the Crown Prince from time to time, seeing him frowning and looking at the Crown Princess from time to time. She didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't notice her at all.

How could she know that the Crown Prince was so preoccupied with worrying about the Crown Princess's mood that he didn't even notice any of her affection.

However, someone else saw it, and King Jin smiled knowingly when he saw it.

After entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ministers, concubines, and their families who had been waiting in the hall all knelt on the ground and greeted them loudly.

The Emperor helped the Empress Dowager sit down at the table beside him, then walked to the main seat and raised his hand, "Everyone, please excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." After everyone expressed their gratitude, they took their seats and the banquet officially began.

After the actors and dancers had performed twice, Xiao Jingheng looked at the Crown Princess sitting opposite him, blinking from time to time, signaling her to come out, as he had something to say.

Gu Qinghe lowered her head and smiled. He looked like the patient she had seen when she was a child who couldn't control his eyelids.

It’s not that Xiao Jingheng can’t control his actions, it’s that he can’t control his heart. Even if it’s just a little bit of grievance, he doesn’t want her to swallow it in a confused manner.

Because that's what he told himself when he realized he couldn't live without her.

Otherwise, if he continued to beg and plead with Gu Qinghe by both soft and hard means, wouldn’t that be such a jerk?

Gu Qinghe looked up again and found that the steady prince was still motioning for her to go out, but this time he raised his chin slightly.

Finally, the Crown Princess moved. She held Yingchun's arm and walked out. Seeing this, Xiao Jingheng also prepared to get up and follow her out.

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess followed the Crown Princess and went out as well.

Gu Qinghe stopped and listened to the footsteps of a woman behind her. She smiled slightly and turned around and said, "Grandma, you have to change your clothes too."

"Yes, Princess, will you come with me?" The eldest princess said with a smile.

Gu Qinghe naturally would not refuse. Firstly, this was a banquet in the palace and she was the host; secondly, she was the junior.

After entering the side hall, the eldest princess quickly came out and said, "Crown Princess, there is a banquet today. You can't be out for too long. You might attract attention."

Gu Qinghe listened calmly, her eyes looking at her calmly, "In that case, please make your speech short."

The eldest princess looked at Gu Qinghe's indifferent look and knew that she was not someone who could be easily fooled. However, she also knew that the prince was determined to marry Gu Qinghe. He had met Chen Jia from the Embroidered Uniform Guard before, but the plan was ruined by the Empress Dowager and the prince.

She thought that the Crown Princess certainly did not have any deep feelings for the Crown Prince; after all, how many men in the royal family could truly be devoted to one another?

Even though the current emperor is said to be deeply in love with the late queen, there are still constant good news from the concubines in the harem.

Emperors, especially those who are concerned with the separation of body and mind, seem to be particularly virtuous; women who marry into the royal family also live more soberly, and all they want is power.

The eldest princess smiled and said, "The Crown Princess is indeed a straightforward person. She acts and speaks decisively, which makes people admire her."

"Crown Princess, you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sealed the Grand Princess's residence twice a while ago, right?"

"I know." Gu Qinghe smiled faintly.

"The Crown Prince is visiting the mansion right now simply for that matter," the Grand Princess said casually, "I naturally support His Royal Highness, but to be on the safe side, I still want some protection."

After saying this, the Grand Princess looked at the Crown Princess's expression, as if she was looking for something on her face, but she saw nothing.

The Crown Princess still stood opposite him with a calm expression, looking somewhat unfathomable.

"Grandaunt, I naturally understand what you mean, but I can't control what you're talking about." Gu Qinghe shook his head and laughed.

"As the Crown Princess, it is my responsibility to provide the Crown Prince with more offspring and expand his harem." The eldest princess' tone began to sound a little anxious, losing her initial demeanor of guiding the younger generation.

"I know, but as the saying goes, 'The husband is the leader of the wife'. How can I go against my husband's wishes and act on my own?" Gu Qinghe still had a decent smile on her face.

Before she had finished, she continued, "Grandma, you may do this, but after all, you will still live in the Grand Princess's residence after you marry. Naturally, you have the final say in the family. And you are also aware of my background. How dare you make your own decisions?"

Just kidding, even if I don’t care much about the Dog Prince, I’m not so concerned about him that I would rush to find work for him.

Look, the friction between the emperor, his father-in-law, and the concubines in the harem makes her anxious from time to time.

"So, you won't listen to me?" the eldest princess said. "Wedding a woman into the Eastern Palace, she won't get any of the favors. For you, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages."

Gu Qinghe shook her head. "Grandma, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said to me tonight. Otherwise, if my father knew about it, he would think that you have doubts in your heart and don't want to support the orthodox doctrine anymore."
