Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Gu Qianhan paused: "Qian Ning."

"Second brother, you are famous today. People are talking about you on the streets. Mother is still waiting for you to give her an explanation. She doesn't believe you would do such a stupid thing."

Gu Qianning looked at him quietly: "I don't believe it either."

Gu Qianhan did not explain what he had done, and since his rebirth, he has never mentioned his rebirth to anyone.

He just said: "I am not afraid of being talked about, but you should go to the palace less often recently and stay away from the prince."

"It is not my decision whether to enter the palace or not. My second brother has caused such a scene today. My aunt will definitely ask me to enter the palace tomorrow. Then I will definitely meet the prince."

Gu Qianning felt strange: "Why has my second brother been asking me to stay away from the prince recently?"

"Because he doesn't want to marry you."

Gu Qianning smiled: "How did Second Brother know that he didn't want to marry me? If he didn't want to marry me, he wouldn't have waited until now. Before I came of age, he told me that he wanted me to be his Crown Princess."

Gu Qianhan frowned slightly: "Do you like the prince?"

If other women were asked such a question, they would probably blush and feel embarrassed, but Gu Qianning said openly, "I like it."

"But the prince doesn't like you."

"He likes me too, I can feel it."

"If he really liked you, he would have come to the Gu family to propose marriage on the second day after your coming-of-age ceremony. Now more than a month has passed, and he has no intention of marrying you."

Gu Qianning's smile gradually faded: "Second brother, I don't know why you suddenly don't approve of me marrying the prince, but whether to marry the prince is not something you and I can decide."

"My father and aunt have been paving the way for me to become the Crown Princess. The entire Gu family has placed their hopes for the future Queen on me. I have no way back, and I have no right to say no."

"Marrying the Crown Prince and becoming the Crown Princess is my responsibility since I was born. I need to maintain the Gu family's status and prosperity for the next few decades."

The younger sister is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. Unfortunately, in her previous life, Gu Qianhan never realized how many sacrifices she had made for the family.

Others only think that becoming a crown princess, becoming a queen who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else, is the supreme honor. No one knows how much pressure and responsibility my sister has to bear.

In her previous life, at the last moment before her death, did she regret marrying the prince?

"Qian Ning, the family's status and prosperity should be maintained by me and my elder brother. The glory of the Gu family does not need to be exchanged for your sacrifice."

"Brother, I don't think this is a sacrifice. There's nothing wrong with being the Crown Princess."

"The crown prince is not the best choice. You can choose another nobleman who is a good match for the Gu family. I will also talk to father about this matter."

"Second brother, have you ever thought about how many people would laugh at me and the Gu family if I couldn't become the Crown Princess?"

Gu Qianhan clenched his fists slightly: "If being laughed at can save you from everything you will have to endure in the future, then let them laugh at you."

"Are you afraid that I won't be free after entering the palace?"

Gu Qianning raised her lips slightly: "If I marry the prince, I really can't leave the palace at will in the future. However, I am not a playful person, so living in the palace is not bad. Second brother, you seem to be caring about me recently, which is rare. You didn't care about anyone before."

That's because he used to think that the Gu family's position was stable and that the Gu family would continue to prosper.

He never thought that the prince would ruthlessly massacre the entire Gu family.

Gu Qianhan lowered his eyelashes and didn't look at his sister again: "I have something else to do, I'll go out first."

After he finished speaking, he walked out.

Behind him, Gu Qianning's voice sounded again: "Second brother, are you going to see the newly kidnapped Miss Chu?"

Gu Qianhan didn't respond and didn't stop.

"Well, it seems not, second brother, you don't actually like Miss Chu, right?"

Gu Qianhan still didn't respond and kept walking forward.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Gu Qianning said again: "The one you like is Shen..."

Gu Qianhan turned back suddenly: "Don't talk nonsense, it's easy to ruin other people's reputation!"

Gu Qianning opened her eyes wide: "Second brother, I haven't finished saying her name yet, how do you know who I'm talking about?"

She walked quickly to Gu Qianhan with a smile in her eyes: "Second brother, you really like her, but she is already married. Isn't it a bit late for you to like her now?"

Gu Qianhan's face was cold: "Who said I like her?"

"Second brother, you can fool others, but you can't fool me! A few days ago, when I went to the palace to see my aunt, she accidentally mentioned that you used the medicine of the prince's wife. I knew that you had something special for her."

Gu Qianning lowered her voice and said, "You usually refuse to use the ointment given by my mother and me. Sometimes you say it's not suitable for your condition, sometimes you say there's something wrong with the ingredients. You even question the prescription written by the imperial physician. How could you trust the Crown Prince's Consort so much and use her medicine so easily?"

Gu Qianhan said indifferently: "I used the medicine just to reassure my aunt, you think too much."

Gu Qianning nodded: "It seems that you really care about her. You are afraid of damaging her reputation, so you keep it a secret even from your own sister, and refuse to admit that you like her. On the other hand, you have no taboos towards that Miss Chu. Sometimes you spend a lot of money to confess your love, and sometimes you rush to her house in anger to snatch her away, for fear that you can't destroy her reputation and that Master Xiao will have a grudge against her."

Gu Qianhan: "You have this kind of cleverness, it's better not to put it on me, it's better to put it on the prince, so that you can tell whether he likes you or not."

Gu Qianning blinked: "Second brother, you snatched Miss Chu from Prince Xiao, could it be for the sake of Shen...Prince Consort?"

"No."

Gu Qianning took a breath of cold air: "Really?!"

"I said no, are you deaf?"

"Brother, everyone says that Prince Xiao is a romantic, and I thought so too, but I didn't expect that the real romantic is you? Are you crazy? In order to fulfill the prince's wife, you actually sacrificed yourself and snatched Chu Yanluo away so that she would have no worries! Why don't you just snatch the prince's wife? With your ability, Prince Xiao should not be able to snatch you away."

Gu Qianhan: "You are so long-winded, you talk too much and too densely, and your imagination is too rich. Don't come to my yard in the future. I get a headache when I see you."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked away, his steps so fast that it seemed as if there was some ferocious beast behind him.

Gu Qianning stamped her feet behind him: "Just now he said that he started to care about me, but in the blink of an eye he changed back to his old self and didn't even have the patience to say a few more words to me."

She left Gu Qianhan's yard and waved to the maid waiting outside: "Baozhu, go and find out where the Crown Princess of Xiao likes to hang out. Let's go and have a chance encounter with her."
