Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

It was a bit cold outside, the crowd was a bit crowded, and the voices were a bit noisy.

But Gu Qianhan stood there without moving. He had no intention of going upstairs because this was a leisure time for girls. If he went upstairs, Shen Wantang would feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He hopes Shen Wantang is happy, and also hopes that his sister who died tragically in her previous life can have more happy times in this life.

Someone accidentally fell down in front of him. He heard the person say in a gentle voice, "Sir, I've lost my maid. Can you help me up? I think I sprained my ankle and it hurts."

Gu Qianhan turned a deaf ear to him and still looked up at the third floor of Zuixianlou.

"Sir? Sir? Sir, can you help me?"

"Tsk, stop shouting. Don't you know who he is? He is the famous genius prodigy Gu Qianhan from our capital. It's useless to shout at the top of your lungs. He won't help you."

"Could it be that another young lady from outside the city has taken a fancy to Second Young Master Gu? Oh, young lady, take a break. Your trick won't work on him. It might have worked on him when Master Xiao was here just now, but he's gone now!"

"Really, young lady, don't look at Mr. Gu, he has a handsome face, but he doesn't do anything. I advise you not to waste your energy. Even if you die here today, he won't help you. Get up quickly, the ground is so cold!"

"That's right. Gu Qianhan is just as his name suggests. His heart is made of thousand-year-old ice. It's harder than climbing to the sky to get him to soften his heart and help you."

Everyone was talking at once, making the woman lying on the ground blush. Seeing that more and more people were watching, she finally couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up, covered her face with her sleeves, and left in a hurry.

She left, but there were still people pointing fingers at Gu Qianhan. However, Gu Qianhan seemed to hear nothing, and his expression did not change at all. He was still looking at the third floor of Zuixianlou.

Everyone couldn't help but follow his gaze and looked over, and then they saw Gu Qianning sitting by the window.

"Oh, who said Second Master Gu's heart is made of thousand-year-old ice? Doesn't he really care about my sister? Look, not only did he book a private room for my sister, he even stood downstairs and kept looking after her!"

"Isn't this nonsense? This is his biological sister. How can she be compared with other women outside? Gu Qianhan is a little cold, but he is not so cold that he doesn't even love his own sister!"

"Who is the person next to Miss Gu? Why is she dressed so luxuriously and so beautiful? Could she be a princess from the palace?"

"Tsk tsk, you don't even recognize her. This is the concubine of the romantic prince Xiao! When Chu Yanluo was selling snacks at Qingyun Building before, this concubine showed up. She outshined Chu Yanluo at that time, so I have a very deep impression of her."

"This is actually the Crown Princess of Prince Xiao? Her temperament and appearance are both excellent. She is not inferior to Miss Gu even when sitting next to her. Isn't it said that she is ugly and vulgar?"

"How could she be ugly? This is the daughter-in-law chosen by Princess Ning herself. If she is ugly, how could she be in Princess Ning's eyes? This Crown Prince's Concubine is just of a poor family background. Everything else is first-rate. Even her housekeeper is an expert and is deeply loved by Princess Ning!"

"Is this true? If she is really so good, why doesn't Prince Xiao like her?"

"Who knows? Maybe Prince Xiao doesn't like this type. He has already taken Chu Yanluo as his concubine and dotes on her. I heard that he never even steps into the princess's boudoir."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't let the prince's wife hear you."

They spoke very loudly indeed, and Shen Wantang indeed heard it. She even suspected that those people were afraid that she couldn't hear them, so they spoke so loudly on purpose.

Gu Qianning, who was standing by, naturally heard it as well, but she was afraid that Shen Wantang would feel uncomfortable, so she didn't mention it and instead talked to her about her own marriage.

While she was talking to Shen Wantang, she was complaining in her heart that these people were so idle and always liked to gossip about other people's private matters. Well, they were all wrong. They all thought that her second brother was looking at her, but she was the only one who knew that her second brother was not looking at her, he was looking at Shen Wantang!

The second brother didn't feel sorry for his sister. He clearly didn't feel sorry for anyone except Shen Wantang.

Last time, some refugees were causing trouble and used some homemade explosives to blow up the street. His second brother rushed into the private room and went straight to Shen Wantang. He blocked the impact of the explosion for him and even carried him downstairs.

He didn't even hug her, his sister!

Shen Wantang had no idea that Gu Qianning was cursing Gu Qianhan in her heart while she was talking about her marriage. She was very worried when she heard it: "Aning, you really treat me as a friend by telling me about your marriage so frankly. But as a friend, I don't approve of you marrying into the palace. Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea!"

Gu Qianning sighed: "My marriage is not something I can decide on my own. I have already told my father and mother about the last time I asked for divination at Fazhen Temple, but they both said that we don't have to believe in those things completely."

"I even told my aunt, but she said she didn't believe it. She still wanted me to marry my cousin and to... to be the queen."

"Actually, I don't really believe in fate. I can't imagine what kind of bloody disaster will happen to me if I marry my cousin. My cousin is really good to me. I have my aunt in the palace to take care of me, and the Queen Mother also likes me..."

Shen Wantang knew that Gu Qianning still liked the prince and she still wanted to marry into the Eastern Palace.

If the four bad lots couldn't stop Gu Qianning, Shen Wantang really didn't know what else he could do to stop her.

She couldn't help but turn her head and look at Gu Qianhan who was standing downstairs. He was looking over here. Was he looking at Gu Qianning? Was he also trying his best to stop Gu Qianning from marrying the prince?

Shen Wantang believed that she had seen through the affairs of the world after living a second life, but she felt heartbroken when she thought that Gu Qianning might die tragically in the cold palace in the future.

She couldn't help but remind Gu Qianning: "Some people's goodness will change. People's hearts are hard to predict. Maybe everything is good now, but once you enter the palace, the things you face will be much more complicated than now. You may get hurt. You should believe in the interpretation of the fortune by the abbot of Fazhen Temple, right?"

Gu Qianning said seriously: "If a bloody head is my fate, then I have nothing to fear. I am willing to accept it."

"Fate can be changed. As long as you don't marry the prince, you can live a peaceful and smooth life."

"Atang, you don't understand. From childhood to adulthood, I have always heard people around me say that I would marry my cousin, I would be the Crown Princess, I would be the Queen. If I don't marry my cousin, I will never be willing in my life. I can't stand someone else being my cousin's Crown Princess."
