The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

Late at night, the palace.

Concubine Shu was scolding Helianji fiercely.

"Don't go." His tone was decisive, as hard as steel.

"He Lianhuan not only failed to seize power, but also killed the emperor inhumanely. Such a heinous person should be imprisoned. If you want to see him, do you think your life is too long?"

Helianji's eyes were stubborn and he retorted unconvinced:

"Mother, concubine, you said before that among all the princes, the Second Emperor's brother is the one who has the deepest thoughts. I used to be on good terms with the Second Emperor's brother, and you agreed."

Concubine Shu glared at him fiercely.

"Today is different from the past. A person must be aware of current affairs. Now the power is in the hands of the prince. It is really kind of him not to kill the eldest prince and you. We, mother and son, must be careful in our actions in the future. How can my mother and concubine let you at this juncture? If you go to provoke the second prince again, don't you think you are going against the prince?"

"But......"

"There is nothing wrong with it. My mother-in-law will not harm you. If you are told not to go, you can't go. Once someone discovers that you are still involved with the second prince, it will not do any good to our mother and son. Do you understand?"

Helianji wanted to continue to refute, but he also knew that his mother-in-law was right.

Even he was surprised that the Second Emperor Brother would kill his father without any warning.

If he had not killed his father, the prince would not have been thrown into a prison because of his tolerant and kind character.

Seeing Helianji's sad face, Concubine Shu sighed helplessly.

"Don't think too much. Whether the second prince lives or dies is his fate. We, mother and son, cannot protect ourselves. How can we have extra energy to take care of him."

"When the new emperor ascends the throne, he must demonstrate his benevolence and love for the people. As long as we are humble and respectful and uphold a simple and responsible attitude, I believe the prince will not be harsh on us."

"My mother-in-law does not ask you to be successful, as long as you live a peaceful life and have a smooth life."

Concubine Shu had been doing ideological work for Helianji, but Helianji had no choice but to silently agree with her.

"That's right, don't think about anything, just be your prince. When the prince is happy, he may even make you king. In the future, when you have your own fiefdom, the good life of our mother and son will begin."

The mother and son talked a lot, and Helianji didn't leave Concubine Shu's palace until late at night.

He Lianji wanted to visit He Lianhuan in prison, but given that this was a special period, he could only suppress his intention.

He told himself to wait a little longer. The prince and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were busy with the enthronement ceremony these days. He would wait until tomorrow to take advantage of the opportunity to go see the second emperor brother.

There was no words for a night, and the dawn of the next day rose from the east.

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Gu Wangshu got up early, washed up, and followed his mother to her mother's home to pay New Year greetings.

At this time in previous years, both the Gu Mansion and the Lu Mansion were full of joy and bustle, full of strong New Year flavor.

However, this year seemed unusually quiet. Even on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Wangshu's second uncle, grandfather and uncle were still busy with official duties and rushed to the East Palace early to discuss matters with the prince.

Compared with the deserted houses of the officials, the common people in Yong'an City are immersed in the New Year celebrations. Every household visits relatives and friends, laughs, and sends New Year greetings. The warm atmosphere is so lively.

When Gu Wangshu and his mother arrived at the Lu Mansion, they first paid New Year greetings to their grandmother and aunt.

After a sumptuous reunion dinner, they sat together and talked about their daily life.

What women at home talk about most is family troubles or marriage.

Gu Wangshu is now an adult, and these topics naturally come to her.

Gu Wangshu was sitting quietly drinking tea when he suddenly heard his grandmother ask:

"Does our little Shu have someone he likes?"

Gu Wangshu paused slightly with the tea cup in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at his grandmother with a blank look on his face.

Those clear eyes were as calm as the surface of a lake.

Mrs. Lu met her pure and unimpaired eyes and immediately understood that her granddaughter probably didn't like anyone at all.

"You girl usually stay close to home. You have seen fewer men. It is reasonable that you don't have anyone you like."

Gu Wangshu smiled slightly: "Grandma, I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry."

The old lady shook her head gently: "You're not young anymore. Your mother got engaged to your father shortly after her haircut ceremony. They got married the next year and gave birth to you at the age of 17."

Gu Wangshu: "..."

She has never rejected ancient etiquette, and even took the initiative to learn it, never daring to slack off.

But when it comes to marriage, she has always adhered to modern ideas.

Fifteen or sixteen years old in modern times is just the age when she has just graduated from junior high school. She really can't accept being married to a man and having children while her body is still a child.

Gu Wangshu just kept a gentle smile and did not answer. He continued to listen quietly to his grandmother, aunt and mother talking to each other about which boy had good character and so on.

In the entire Kyoto, there is no second boudoir lady with the same status as Gu Wangshu. She is recognized as the most noble girl in Kyoto.

My grandfather, second uncle, uncle and brothers were all important officials of the imperial court and had great military exploits.

Grandpa, uncle and uncle are all first-class officials.

It is extremely difficult to find a son who is worthy of her status and the right match for her. There is really no second son in the entire Yong'an City.

Aunt Gu Wangshu sighed softly: "In terms of status, only the prince can match our Xiao Shu."

Hearing this, Gu Wangshu's mother immediately objected:

"A royal man is never a good match."

After speaking, she looked at Gu Wangshu:

"Xiao Shu, you have to remember that if you like anyone, don't like anyone from the royal family, especially His Highness the Crown Prince. When His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor, there will be more and more women in the harem, and you are destined to not be happy."

Gu Wangshu: "???"

Why did she think of her and the prince together as she was talking.

Gu Wangshu had no idea about His Royal Highness.

"Mother is worrying too much."

Mr. Lu didn't quite believe it.

She knows her daughter very well. She has been very sensible since she was a child. She will never do anything arrogant, let alone meet her foreign man without authorization.

In the past two months, her daughter has been obsessed with him, talking about the prince for a long time. Although it is to help the prince seize power, she still cannot help but worry that her daughter will unconsciously like the prince.

The prince had to have good looks, good status, and the most easy-going temperament among all the princes, which had to worry her.

"Xiao Shu, you swear you won't like the prince."

Gu Wangshu raised three fingers without hesitation: "I swear, I will never like the prince, and I will never enter the palace."

Seeing her agreeing so happily, Mr. Lu finally felt relieved.

However, whether to enter the palace or not is not a question of whether Gu Wangshu wants it or not, but whether the royal family has any intention of letting her enter the palace as a concubine.

When the palace changed that day, the queen took a deep look at Gu Wangshu.

Gu Wangshu's status is too special, and she is smart enough, so she will be a helper to whomever she marries.

Now that the prince is about to ascend the throne and the imperial power is unstable, it is time to rely on marriage to stabilize the regime.

Without Gu Wangshu's complete knowledge, the queen had already considered letting Helianjue accept her as her concubine.

But she hadn't had time to reveal this idea to Helian Jue. At the tense moment of the palace change, no one would pay attention to the way the queen looked at Gu Wangshu before leaving the imperial garden.

Gu Wangshu and his mother had dinner at the Lu family before returning home.

It was already dark when we returned to the General's Mansion, and it would be dark soon.

Gu Wangshu sat at his desk, his eyes falling on the simple drawing he drew last night.

The "pitiful" appearance of He Lianhuan in the cell wearing thin clothes came to mind.

I wonder how the Second Highness spent last night.

His Highness the Second Highness taught her the strategy of "surrounding a point for reinforcements" without hesitation. She benefited a lot, and it was not an exaggeration to call him her teacher.

Their relationship was hostile, but it also had an additional layer of teacher-student relationship. Gu Wangshu felt that he couldn't ignore him.

"Autumn Pond."

"What's your order, miss?"

"Go and see if there is any food in the kitchen, and look for a hand stove by the way."

Qiu Chi rolled his eyes and immediately understood what Gu Wangshu wanted to do. He walked out of the study with a smile and obeyed the order.

Gu Wangshu raised her hand to touch the right side of the desk as a habit, but found nothing. She immediately realized that His Highness's folding fan had been returned to him yesterday.
