Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Gu Qianning noticed his actions, but she didn't think much about it.

After all, she also had the sachet that Gu Qianhan was holding. It was given to her by their aunt the Queen, and it contained amulets and medicinal herbs for calming the mind.

After a while, Gu Qianhan said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Qian Ning, you should not marry into the Eastern Palace, and you should reduce your contact with the Crown Prince in the future. I will persuade my father to find another marriage for you as soon as possible. It is best for you to marry somewhere far away."

Gu Qianning stood up immediately: "Second brother! Don't go too far. I just teased you and said that Shen Wantang liked Xiao Qingyuan. Why did you ask me to marry far away? Are you a human being? How can you be so cruel as to let your own sister marry far away? I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying in the capital!"

She originally wanted to say that she would not marry anyone but the prince, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that it was too frivolous and disrespectful, so she changed her words.

Gu Qianhan closed his eyes tiredly.

He has discussed this matter with his sister many times, but the result is always the same. She is determined to marry Xiao Qingxuan.

A feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart. It seemed that his fate had not changed because of his rebirth. It was still moving in the original direction. He made a lot of efforts and attempts in secret, but the imperial power was not something he could shake in a short period of time. Even the power of the Gu family was not something he could control.

He used to disdain power, but now he knows that power is above everything.

Without power, no one in the Gu family would listen to him, not even his sister.

Without power, he would not be able to save his own life and the lives of his family.

Perhaps, it's time for him to seize power.

Only if he can overpower his father and elder brother can he be the one to make the decisions in the Gu family and have a say in his sister's marriage. Otherwise, he can only stand aside.

Gu Qianhan opened his eyes again and looked at his sister with sharp eyes: "Go back to your courtyard, don't go out these days, don't see the prince, he is very busy, you shouldn't disturb him casually."

Gu Qianning saw the cold light flashing in his eyes. She suspected that her second brother was going to kill someone: "What are you going to do? Second brother, calm down. He is the prince. You can't... can't do anything reckless!"

Gu Qianhan looked indifferent: "Go back!"

Gu Qianning had no choice but to stand up and walk out slowly.

When she was about to leave, she turned back and said, "Second brother, I have something else to do. I have to go out in two days."

"No!"

"It was Shen Wantang who asked me to go to Fazhen Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings."

Gu Qianhan paused: "What did you say?"

"It's true. If you don't believe it, come with me to Fazhen Temple in two days and you will find out."

Gu Qianhan nodded: "Well, I'll take you there then."

Gu Qianning: “…”

Didn’t we agree that she is not allowed to go out?

Why did she change her mind immediately when she heard that it was Shen Wantang who asked her out?

Gu Qianning sighed. She was afraid that her second brother, who had always been proud and cold, would really fall into someone else's hands this time.

But then she changed her mind and realized that it would be a great thing if someone could control her second brother in the future!

As she walked out, she told her maid, "Go to my room and pick out some jewelry. Pick something presentable."

"Girl, what are you going to do?"

"I want to give it away!"

No matter whether the second brother can snatch Shen Wantang away from her, it will be a good idea for her to build a good relationship with Shen Wantang first!

What's more, Shen Wantang helped her pick out a lot of beautiful clothes today, and also allowed her to buy the rare color of Shuiyunyan that no one else could buy. It was only right that she should be grateful.

When Gu Qianhan in the room heard his sister's words, his expression changed slightly. She wanted to give a gift to Shen Wantang?

There should be no one who knows what Shen Wantang likes better than him!

He stood up and said, "Jixiang, take the banknotes and let's go out for a while."

auspicious:"……"

Didn't you just come back? Why are you going out again? Don't you even want to eat?

The situation outside is so unstable right now, be careful of getting bombed!

But as he watched his master stride out, he knew that this matter could not be changed, so he hurriedly took the silver note and trotted after him.

The servant Fu Ze came forward and said, "Second Master, I heard that there is trouble in Prince Ning's Mansion!"

Gu Qianhan kept walking: "What's the trouble? Tell me about it."

"Didn't Master Xiao take Chu Yanluo as his concubine a few days ago? And today, that concubine tried to commit suicide by stabbing herself in the neck with scissors. Master Xiao asked the imperial physician to come to her again!"

"Is anyone dead?"

"No, that woman is very lucky. She is still alive even though her blood is all over the floor. She is still jealous!"

"Who are you jealous of? Xiao Qingyuan's princess?"

"How could she be so jealous of the Crown Prince's wife? She doesn't even pay any attention to her. She is jealous of the maidservant beside Crown Prince Xiao. The maidservant's name is Huayi. I heard that she was originally Crown Prince Xiao's maidservant. Later, she was given to the Crown Prince's wife by Princess Ning as a maidservant. I don't know how, she was taken away by Crown Prince Xiao again."

Gu Qianhan paused: "Painting?"

"Yes, the second young master, her name is Huayi, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with her?"

Gu Qianhan said indifferently: "She has no problem, but sometimes having no problem is the biggest problem."

When he went to Xiao Qingyuan's place, he had met Huayi, but this maid had a low presence, spoke very little, and behaved in a very conventional manner, so much so that he simply ignored her.

However, since she can stay with Xiao Qingyuan, it means that she has some abilities.

This was the first time since Xiao Qingyuan met Chu Yanluo that he had kept a maidservant in the yard to serve him.

In his previous life, until his death, Xiao Qingyuan had only Chu Yanluo by his side. Other maids and women could not get close to him at all because they were all driven out by Chu Yanluo.

Fukuzawa didn't understand what the second master meant by "no problem is the biggest problem", because he thought no problem was a good thing.

But he didn't ask too many questions, because the young master's intelligence was beyond his reach.

He dutifully reported the news he had inquired about: "That Prince Xiao may have already fallen in love with someone else. People say he is a romantic, but now it seems that he is not. He just took a concubine and had a romantic affair with Chu Yanluo, but then he lost interest in her and started to dote on the maidservants around him."

"I heard that Prince Xiao now treats that maid very dearly. Whenever the maid goes to the Prince's Consort's courtyard, he would follow her eagerly to pick her up, as if he was afraid that the maid would suffer any harm. He even gave his own cloak to the maid and asked the Prince's Consort for new clothes and shoes for the maid."

"Chu Yanluo wears the same clothes every day, but Master Xiao doesn't buy her new clothes. Instead, he is thinking about asking for new clothes for a little maid. Tell me, has Master Xiao changed his mind? He is not a romantic man at all. He is a playboy!"
