Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 534 Princess, Please Take Me With You When You Remarry

Shen Wantang had no way to deal with Gu Qianhan, who was thick-skinned but strong inside, and would listen even when scolded.

He can listen, but she can't speak it out!

She thought for a while and could only curse, "Shameless!"

"That's it?"

"Isn't this enough?"

"It's a little weak. You can think of something more severe next time. I can take anything."

After Gu Qianhan finished speaking, he walked forward holding the reins and became Shen Wantang's groom.

Shen Wantang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not jump off the horse.

She could scold him, but it seemed unnecessary to force herself to endure it. After all, sitting on the horse was much more comfortable than walking by herself.

After walking for a while, she looked back at her two maids, only to see that they were walking side by side with Jixiang, following at a long distance.

It seemed that the two of them were afraid of exposing her identity and deliberately kept a distance from her.

After walking forward for a while, I could see people walking not far away.

Just as Shen Wantang was about to speak, Gu Qianhan reached out and carried her off the horse.

Shen Wantang swallowed his words back.

Gu Qianhan asked softly: "Didn't you take the carriage out today?"

"There is a carriage."

"Where?"

"We stopped at Yongxin Street. There were too many people watching the fun, so the carriage couldn't get through."

"There are still two streets left. I'll take you there."

Shen Wantang immediately shook his head: "No! Go back and don't worry about me."

"Don't worry, I won't go with you. You go first."

After Gu Qianhan finished speaking, he pulled his horse back.

Du Juan and Qin Xin saw Shen Wantang dismount, and trotted over, then stood on her left and right, waiting for her instructions.

Shen Wantang glanced at Gu Qianhan and knew that she could not change his decision, so she called the maids and continued walking forward.

As she walked, Qin Xin looked back. After a while, she concluded a pattern: "Princess, the Second Young Master deliberately distanced himself from us, but not too far. He would walk for a while, then let the horse graze for a while. After the horse had grazed, he would catch up. If the horse chased too closely, he would let the horse graze again."

Shen Wantang nodded: "Just don't come over here, the rest is up to him."

Qin Xin hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked in a low voice: "Princess, if you remarry, can you take me with you? I still want to continue to be your maid. I don't want to stay in the palace."

Her words were so shocking that Shen Wantang staggered.

After she stood firm, she looked at Qin Xin with a mixture of amusement and anger: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why do I have to remarry?"

Qin Xin's voice became even quieter: "Well... I think the Second Young Master is sincere to you."

Shen Wantang finally turned around and looked at Gu Qianhan.

He was riding on a horse, tall and long-legged, with his back straight. The sunlight shining down on him gave his entire body a layer of light golden glow.

His angular face was calm, his luxurious brocade robe fluttered gently in the wind, he looked noble, heroic and dignified.

Shen Wantang sighed slightly and said to the maid, "Although he looks like a decent person now, he can't take care of himself! I'm doing well in Prince Ning's mansion now, and I don't plan to remarry."

Qin Xin continued to ask, "But what if?"

Shen Wantang was helpless: "If I really remarry, I will definitely take you with me. How can I leave by myself and leave you in Prince Ning's mansion?"

Qin Xin was now happy: "Great! I thank the Crown Prince's wife!"

Du Juan laughed at her: "Qin Xin, how could you think that the prince would not take you with him? If the prince's wife leaves you, where will she go to listen to all the gossip? Even if she doesn't take anyone else with her, she has to take you with her!"

"Oh, I'm just taking precautions. If the Crown Prince's Consort really remarries to the Duke's Mansion, there must be a lot of rules there. What if they don't allow the Crown Prince's Consort to take the maids from the palace with them?"

Du Juan hesitated: "It shouldn't be that serious, right? Princess, are the rules of the Duke's Mansion so strict?"

Shen Wantang continued to walk forward. She did not have the worries in the hearts of the two maids. She said softly, "These are all trivial matters. I have the final say on which maids I should take with me. No one else has the final say. No matter where I go, I will take you with me."

In fact, Shen Wantang didn’t think too far ahead because there were too many uncertain factors in the future.

If Gu Qianhan succeeds in his rebellion, he will surely become emperor. At that time, he may not be able to decide on the selection of his queen. Even if he can make the decision himself, he may not necessarily choose her.

So she actually didn't take Gu Qianhan's promise seriously. The situation had changed at that time. Maybe he was sincere when he made the promise, but he might not admit it afterwards, because his status and power had undergone tremendous changes, and it would be difficult for the choice of his wife in his mind to remain unchanged.

If Gu Qianhan's rebellion fails, he will definitely die, and the Duke's Mansion will no longer exist, making it even more impossible for her to marry into the family.

However, after this interruption, Shen Wantang's sadness about Gu Qianning marrying far away was alleviated a lot. Just now, she was so reluctant to let Gu Qianning go that she almost cried, but now her emotions have calmed down.

After walking for a while, Shen Wantang finally saw the palace's carriage.

She breathed a sigh of relief. She could no longer see the carriage. Her soles were aching so much that she would not wear these thin-soled embroidered shoes next time she went out and walked so much. They were too painful.

The driver also saw them, and he immediately drove forward to meet them: "Princess, I was afraid that you would not be able to find the car when you came back, so I did not dare to move, so I was unable to come to pick you up. Please forgive me, Princess!"

Shen Wantang waved her hand: "It's okay, you did the right thing, waiting for me here is the best choice."

As she spoke, she got into the carriage, leaned back on the large, comfortable pillow, took the herbal tea handed to her by Dujuan, took a sip, and finally felt better.

There was the sound of horse hooves outside. Shen Wantang's heart moved. He pulled aside the curtain and looked outside. Then, as expected, he saw Gu Qianhan.

He was also looking at her. When he saw her looking at him, he gave her a faint smile, then whipped his horse and galloped away.

Shen Wantang looked at his high-spirited appearance and could not help but shook his head. Why was he still behaving like a arrogant young man? He looked like he was going to ask the prince to marry him, not to rebel.

God knows how much pressure he is under, but he can still maintain such an optimistic and unrestrained attitude. It's really amazing.

Sometimes Shen Wantang was even curious about what his brain looked like and why it was so different from others.

The carriage took half an hour to return to Prince Ning's Mansion.

As soon as she returned home, Shen Wantang soaked her feet and applied some ointment, which relieved the burning sensation a lot.

In the evening, large fish-scale clouds suddenly appeared in the sky.

Shen Wantang frowned slightly: "It's going to rain tomorrow, Dujuan, Qinxin, ask someone to put away all the things outside."

"Yes!"

"Princess, you haven't eaten much all day. Would you like to eat more for dinner?"

Shen Wantang shook his head: "No, I don't have much appetite. I'm a little tired. Let's settle down early tonight!"

Dujuan and Qinxin couldn't persuade her, so they could only agree.

After nightfall, Shen Wantang fell asleep early.

She didn't know how long she slept, but when she was half asleep and half awake, she was awakened by bursts of noise.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a bright fire outside and the sound of killing.

She immediately stood up and called out loudly, "Dujuan, Qinxin!"

Two maids came in immediately: "Crown Princess!"

Shen Wantang looked serious: "What happened outside?"

Qin Xin's voice was filled with panic: "Crown Princess, I heard, I heard that the Duke's Mansion rebelled!"
