Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Second brother refused to admit it, and Gu Qianning couldn't do anything about it. She shook her head and sighed, "Second brother, she is indeed very good, even better than I thought, but it may be difficult for you to marry her."

"Let's not talk about whether your parents would agree to you marrying a woman who has been married twice. I'm afraid that Prince Ning's Mansion will not let you go."

"Do you know how much Princess Ning likes her? Princess Ning even gave her own dowry to her daughter-in-law. This was originally meant for her daughter."

After washing his hands, Gu Qianhan opened a box and took out the book inside.

As he flipped through the pages, he said calmly, "A woman who is married for the second time is no different from any other woman. My parents won't stop me from marrying because of my second marriage. However, I don't want to marry anyone, and I won't marry anyone. Don't let your imagination run wild."

"If you have the time, why don't you think carefully about the four lots you drew at Fazhen Temple today? Four bad lots, this is the first time I've seen them, it shows how tragic the marriage you're hoping for is."

"Even the Buddha has warned you this. If you still insist on getting married, don't come to me in your dreams and cry about it when you die. I won't care about you."

When Gu Qianning heard the latter part, her face suddenly changed. She almost forgot about this!

She stamped her feet in anger: "Second brother, you have such a good face for nothing. You are so mean. No one will like you no matter how good-looking you are!"

“I don’t need anyone to like me.”

"Shen Wantang, you don't need it either?"

"Correct."

"You're lying. Your eyes have been glued to her today! You like her, don't you hope that she likes you too?"

Gu Qianhan suddenly smiled faintly: "I'm not looking forward to it."

Gu Qianning was stunned. Her second brother seldom laughed on weekdays. Even if he did, it was mostly a sneer or a mocking laugh.

But now he was smiling very calmly, and it seemed to come from the heart.

So for a moment she couldn't tell whether her second brother was lying to her or telling the truth. He acted too indifferent, and he gave her the illusion that he really didn't want Shen Wantang to like him!

She stared at Gu Qianhan for a long time, but still couldn't see through his thoughts, so she had to leave in disappointment.

Forget it. Her second brother has not been a normal person since he was a child. She can't guess what he is thinking. According to his unusual way of thinking, he might really think that it is good for Shen Wantang not to like him.

After Gu Qianning left, Gu Qianhan began to read the book in his hand seriously.

This book was the "Astrology" that he had snatched from Xiao Qingyuan. There was also a page of notes and doubts recorded by Shen Wantang in the book.

After reading for a while, he asked the servant to grind ink, picked up the pen and began to answer Shen Wantang's questions.

After taking a look, Jixiang knew who he was writing to. He couldn't help but ask, "Sir, you have done so much for her, don't you really hope that the Crown Prince's wife will like you too?"

Gu Qianhan did not stop writing. He wrote as he said, "You already call her the Crown Prince's Consort. She has a husband, so the person she likes should not be me. I have never done anything for her. Even if I did, it was just a trivial matter. There is no reason for her to like me."

He really didn't think of making Shen Wantang like him. After all, he was carrying a blood feud and was in danger of losing his life. Liking him would only bring her trouble and worries.

She is now doing a good job as the Crown Prince's Consort in Prince Ning's Mansion. As long as Xiao Qingyuan doesn't do stupid things, she will be able to live a peaceful and smooth life until old age.

Jixiang knew from his calm tone that he was telling the truth.

He couldn't help but mutter in his heart that his own young master was the real romantic, giving without asking for anything in return, loving others so much but not asking them to like him back.

After a while, Gu Qianhan had filled up the entire page.

Jixiang picked it up and blew it dry, then asked him, "Sir, how do we send this to someone? I'm afraid it's not a good idea to send it like this, right?"

It is indeed not good and will arouse Shen Wantang's vigilance.

"Put it away first and we'll talk about it later."

-

Prince Ning's Mansion.

After Shen Wantang came back, he went straight to Princess Ning's courtyard.

She told the whole story of what happened after she met Ye Lingyun in Fazhen Temple, but did not mention the information that Gu Qianhan revealed later.

But even if she didn't say it, Princess Ning knew that she couldn't touch the big pit of the Ye family. After all, she was the daughter-in-law of the royal family. She had heard about Ye Chongli's corruption and knew that he would definitely die this time.

When Princess Ning heard Shen Wantang say that Xiao Qingyuan was going to help Ye Lingyun, she took a deep breath!

"This bastard is getting worse and worse. How can he help with this kind of thing? Nanny, send someone to the Imperial Observatory to call the prince back. His son is about to get into big trouble, but he is still looking at the stars. I don't know what kind of stars he can see in broad daylight!"

Nanny Quan responded and was about to go out when the maid Qiu Shui hurried in.

"Princess, the prince is back."

"He dares to come back, call him over!"

"Princess, the prince did not come back alone, he also brought Magistrate Ye's daughter back with him!"

"what?!"

Princess Ning’s eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

She was furious and couldn't help cursing, "What a sin! He dares to bring any woman home all day long. I thought it was bad enough that he brought Chu Yanluo back, but I didn't expect that it would be even worse! He actually brought back the daughter of a corrupt official!"

"Oh my God, what kind of son did I raise? I'm afraid that the prince and I will die in his hands later, right?"

"Mammy, hurry up and ask the prince to return home. If you're late, he won't even be able to be the prince anymore!"

Nanny Quan knew that the matter was of great importance, so she did not dare to delay and went out immediately.

After a while, Xiao Qingyuan came in. He asked in confusion, "Mother asked me to come here because of something?"

Princess Ning slammed the table in anger, "You bastard, you still have the nerve to ask me if I'm okay? You're in big trouble, you know that? Who told you to agree to help County Magistrate Ye's daughter? County Magistrate Ye was caught for embezzlement, this is not a small matter, why are you meddling in this? Be careful or you might be used as a gun!"

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned cold, he looked at Shen Wantang: "You were the one who reported me to mother, right? I thought you were a good person, but it turns out you are a shady person."

Shen Wantang looked at him calmly, "It was indeed me who told mother that the prince wanted to help Miss Ye. If County Magistrate Ye is innocent, the Dali Temple will release him, and there is no need for the prince to plead for him. If he is not innocent, not only will the prince's plea be useless, but it will also bring shame upon you. Please think twice before acting."

Xiao Qingyuan said coldly: "What do you know? The Dali Temple has a history of forcing prisoners to confess under torture! What's more, now it's not just the Dali Temple that wants to interrogate County Magistrate Ye, but also the Jinyiwei. If I don't help, County Magistrate Ye will probably die unjustly."
