Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

When Chu Yanluo heard these discussions, her expression changed slightly.

However, she couldn't just turn down the gold that Gu Qianhan gave her - one thousand taels, gold, all hers! How many bird's nests could she eat, how many clothes and jewelry could she buy? With this one thousand taels of gold, would she still need to look at other people's faces in the future? No longer, she could walk sideways in Prince Ning's mansion!

So, she pretended not to hear the discussions and took Gu Qianhan upstairs.

As for Xiao Qingyuan, she just pretended he didn't exist. He had slapped her before and she still remembered the grudge. Today he didn't speak up for her or support her, but instead ruined her place. He should be left alone!

If Gu Qianhan hadn't appeared to rescue her, she would have been scolded to death by this group of people today.

When Gu Qianhan followed Chu Yanluo to the private room upstairs, he looked up and saw Shen Wantang standing on the third floor.

She was wearing a veil, but he still recognized her at a glance. There was a slight confusion in her clear eyes, as if she was wondering why he suddenly started to praise Chu Yanluo.

"Second Master Gu, please come this way. This is the private room reserved for me in Qingyun Building. The other private rooms are full, so you can use this one!"

Chu Yanluo's voice rang out, Gu Qianhan withdrew his gaze and entered her private room.

Before going in, he glanced at Xiao Qingyuan downstairs.

Xiao Qingyuan's face looked very ugly. He seemed to have not expected that Chu Yanluo would abandon him and warmly entertain other men.

Gu Qianhan sneered in his heart, this was just the beginning. Today's support was just the beginning. Xiao Qingyuan would be angry in the future.

Xiao Qingyuan downstairs watched Chu Yanluo take Gu Qianhan into the private room, the door closed, and then she never came out again!

Gu Qianhan was eating inside, and she was actually staying with him the whole time!

Xiao Qingyuan's eyes turned red and he clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't believe that Chu Yanluo abandoned him for one thousand taels of gold and turned to please another man!

And this man was the one she scolded and abused a few days ago!

There were faint sounds of laughter coming from all around, and they seemed to be saying that his infatuation and admiration for Chu Yanluo was a huge joke.

"Oh, is Prince Xiao about to cry? He has been chasing Chu Yanluo for so long and even brought her to the palace, but it seems to be useless. Chu Yanluo is not as enthusiastic towards him as she is towards Gu Qianhan! How ridiculous... No, it's really pitiful!"

"It's okay. The prince won't care about these little things. After all, Chu Yanluo was pregnant with another man's child before, but didn't the prince still cry and shout to marry her? Princess Ning disagreed, but he even accompanied Chu Yanluo to become a nun! What a big wronged man, oh, no, a big lover."

"That's right, why would the prince care about these things? Before, Gu Qianhan ran to Prince Ning's mansion to tease and bully Chu Yanluo, and the prince just punched Gu Qianhan twice. He even spoke up for Chu Yanluo. I heard that even the emperor severely punished Gu Qianhan!"

"Tsk tsk, the prince probably didn't expect that the two of them would forget their grudges in a blink of an eye. Look, the two of them have been in the private room for such a long time, and neither of them has come out. I don't know what they are doing in there. The prince is sad here alone, and now he has become a clown!"

"What's the big deal? Didn't Chu Yanluo sleep with Gu Qianhan a few days ago? Didn't the prince just pretend nothing happened? He still dotes on Chu Yanluo just the same? Even if something happens between the two of them, the prince won't mind. He loves Chu Yanluo to death. For Chu Yanluo, he hasn't even consummated his marriage with his consort yet!"

The mocking voices continued to ring in his ears, and it was the first time that Xiao Qingyuan felt so angry and embarrassed.

"Shut up, everyone!"

He yelled, then ran up to the second floor, rushed into the private room, grabbed Chu Yanluo's arm and pulled her out: "Come back to the palace with me immediately!"

"Wait!"

Gu Qianhan blocked their way: "Your Highness, why don't you ask Miss Chu if she is willing to go with you? You want to take her back to the palace? What's the difference between this and kidnapping someone in the street?"

"Gu Qianhan! Get out of my way! I don't care what tricks you are playing, you'd better stay away from Yan Luo! She belongs to my Ning Palace, I want to take her back, you have no right to interfere!"

"I am not qualified, but do you, Xiao Qingyuan, have the qualifications? Everyone in the capital knows that you are already married. Why did you bring Miss Chu back to the palace? To make her a concubine?"

Gu Qianhan's expression was icy: "Miss Chu is such a talented and beautiful woman, you let her be your concubine, isn't that too unfair to her!"

Xiao Qingyuan always felt as if he didn't recognize Gu Qianhan today. He was obviously the second young master of the Gu family that he knew, but he couldn't find any similarities with the past!

He didn't know what Gu Qianhan was going to do, but he knew that what Gu Qianhan was going to do was definitely not a good thing.

"I didn't say to let Yan Luo be my concubine! Gu Qianhan, stop talking nonsense, get out of the way!"

"You don't want Miss Chu to be your concubine? Then what do you want her to do?"

"I--"

Xiao Qingyuan only said one word, but the rest of the words seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out.

Gu Qianhan sneered: "Why don't you say anything, my lord? What do you want Miss Chu to do?"

"What I ask her to do is none of your business!"

"How can it have nothing to do with me? You, my lord, have already married, but I don't. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer today, I will definitely take Miss Chu away. You want her to be a concubine, but I don't. I will let Miss Chu marry into the Gu family and become the main wife!"

When these words came out, everyone in the restaurant was shocked!

Xiao Qingyuan was so shocked that his head was buzzing: "What did you say? You want Yan Luo to be your legal wife?"

"Of course! I, Gu Qianhan, will marry no one else but her!"

Gu Qianhan's voice was loud and clear.

The onlookers all looked at each other in bewilderment. It was over. Another person in the capital had gone crazy.

Not to mention that Chu Yanluo had a bad reputation and had been pregnant with someone else's bastard, even if she had a good reputation, even if she was a virgin, she was not worthy of Gu Qianhan!

Gu Qianhan is the second son of the Zhenguogong Mansion, the nephew of the current queen, and a child prodigy with extraordinary intelligence and extraordinary talent since childhood! His father, the Zhenguogong, holds military power and has great power in the court. His mother is the only princess of a different surname in Dafeng. His uncle is stationed at the border and drove out the Huns. He has made outstanding military achievements and is already a first-class general!

What about Chu Yanluo? She was just a concubine's daughter of a ninth-rank official!

Everyone's eyes turned to Chu Yanluo. They all had the same question in their minds: what kind of charm did Chu Yanluo have that could make the two most distinguished gentlemen in the capital so infatuated with her that they wanted to marry her home as their wife one after another.

Because she's pretty?

She was quite beautiful. She stood there in a white dress, like a willow swaying in the wind, like a snow lotus on an iceberg. When the wind blew, her long black hair, which had never been tied up, fluttered in the wind. Coupled with the rustling sleeves and the floating skirt like water waves, she had an ethereal air that was otherworldly.

But that's all. She's not so beautiful that she can make people lose their souls.
