Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

The next day, at Shunqing Marquis’ Mansion.

Gu Yanbai brought Xiao Liuzi and two personal guards from the palace and drove a carriage to pay a visit.

When Jiang Qingyu heard that it was Gu Yanbai, he did not inform his mother and went to the front yard with Yuya.

Gu Yanbai was humble and submissive. As soon as he entered the room, he bowed to Jiang Qingyu and Yuya and said, "Princess, you are polite, Second Young Master Jiang."

"Mr. Gu." Gu Yanbai nodded in greeting.

"Mr. Gu, you are here to visit me. Is there something you can help me with?" Jiang Qingyu said in a serious tone. He was always a little worried about Gu Yanbai.

So even though Yan Xiuchen and Jiang Qingwu both said that he was one of them, he still had doubts.

Gu Yanbai didn't answer. He looked around, frowned slightly, and smiled, "Where are Master Su and Gu Qing?"

Jiang Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then he forced a smile from his face, "You're looking for them? They went to the Sixth Benevolence Hall in East City."

Gu Yanbai nodded and said with some disappointment, "That's unfortunate. I came here today to give a big gift to the Marquis' Mansion."

Jiang Qingyu looked at Gu Yanbai in confusion. Seeing that he was playing guessing games, he became a little impatient. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Xiao Liuzi from outside the door walked in.

"Second Young Master, Young Master Gu, the person has been invited in."

Seeing that it was Xiao Liuzi, Jiang Qingyu let down his guard a little, and when he looked outside, his eyes lit up.

"Uncle, aunt..."

"Yuya, go and call Maner..." When Jiang Qingyu saw that it was the Su couple, he called out to Yuya and hurried out to greet them.

……

It was almost noon and the Six Senses Hall was bustling with activity.

When Jiang Qingwu and Su Wenli arrived, Feng Qizi and the waiters at Liushantang were busy distributing porridge and rice.

Most of those coming and going are poor people and beggars.

Some people recognized Jiang Qingwu and bowed to her, while some people didn't know her and pointed and whispered.

"I don't think they are the ones who donate so much money, it won't be enough to fill their gaps."

Su Wenli looked around and carefully protected Jiang Qingwu among the people coming and going.

"It's not like I always give alms like this." Jiang Qingwu said, looking up and smiling, lowering his voice.

"Before, didn't they help attack the East City Defense Camp?"

"It's the rule I set. If you help, you have to be busy for two days."

"There is meat, wine, silver, rice and flour..."

Su Wenli suddenly realized and couldn't help but smile, "No wonder the people from Liushantang arrived so quickly when we attacked the city defense camp."

As the two were talking, they heard Wanyue's voice from behind.

"Hey, Zhuang Qing, where are you going? Slow down..."

Jiang Qingwu came to his senses and saw that Zhuang Qing had run far away. Then he discovered that Zhuang Youwen was helping in the courtyard of Liushan Hall.

"Zhuang Yawen is here, it's okay." Jiang Qingwu echoed Wanyue and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Su Wenli.

"I'm a little thirsty. Let's find a quiet place and have a cup of tea."

Jiang Qingwu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and looked around and said, "The backyard of Liushan Hall is relatively quiet..."

Su Wenli looked towards Liushan Hall and let go of Jiang Qingwu.

The backyard was indeed quiet, while the front was a mess. In the pavilion in the backyard, the noise had almost disappeared.

Wanyue brought tea and snacks to her, then bowed slightly to Jiang Qingwu, "Miss, I'll go to the front to help."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Cousin, do you have something to say to me?" Jiang Qingwu took the teapot and teacup.

Su Wenli looked at Jiang Qingwu, hesitated for a moment, and blurted out, "Have you and the Regent already...already done that?"

Jiang Qingwu's hand suddenly stopped, and when he looked up at Su Wenli, he felt a little guilty for a moment.

"Cousin, my cousin is..."

"I know it's not my place to ask or say this, but I really care about you."

Jiang Qingwu forced a smile from his face, then poured the tea, "To be honest, cousin, yes."

"Then...how about your brother and I go meet His Highness?"

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but frown and looked at Su Wenli in confusion, "See him... for what?"

"Marriage."

Jiang Qingwu suddenly realized what was happening, and then he chuckled and said, "This... How can our Jiang family say this?"

"You and Big Brother, don't go."

"I also know that the woman shouldn't go, but... the Shen family has been raided, Yan Lin has been arrested, and the court affairs are trivial, but they are not a problem."

"Since you are already husband and wife, shouldn't he bring up the matter of marriage?"

"If he really loves you and really wants to marry you, and has dealt with Yan Lin, he should take the initiative to propose marriage and get it done as soon as possible."

Jiang Qingwu had never thought much about these things before. She never felt there was any difference whether the wedding was held a day earlier or later.

It was only now, after hearing what Su Wenli said, that I vaguely realized that there was another possibility.

"Cousin...are you afraid of him and don't want to marry me anymore?"

"Maybe not, it's just..." Su Wenli said, hesitating a bit, picked up the teacup and put it into his mouth.

Seeing Su Wenli in such a dilemma, Jiang Qingwu also vaguely realized something, "I know what my cousin means."

"It's just that this matter, no matter what, it's not my place, and it's not the Jiang family's place to speak up."

"It's not like I can't get married."

"Even if he really doesn't want to marry me, I can still live alone."

Su Wenli frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Nonsense, there is no girl who doesn't want to get married."

"Since you said so, let's wait a little longer. If this prince really lets you down... our Jiang family is not afraid."

"I will definitely seek justice for you."

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but smile when he heard the voice.

If she really had been treated unfairly, she probably wouldn't have continued to demand justice.

What's more, that thing... was her initiative and she did it voluntarily.

It was not until dark that Gu Yanbai left Shunqing Marquis Mansion.

When he arrived at the palace and was about to enter, he ran into Yan Xiuchen who had returned from the palace.

Seeing the carriage stop, Gu Yanbai smiled teasingly and raised his voice, "The prince is back."

"Isn't it a little late for the prince to come back?"

"I missed the dinner at the Marquis' Mansion, and I didn't get to drink the tea at Liushan Hall."

Yan Xiuchen frowned slightly, got off the carriage in a hurry, and paused as he watched Gu Yanbai leaning unruly against the pillar at the entrance of the palace.

"What does Six Senses tea mean?"

"See, you're smart. You know what the point is?"

"Su Wenli and Gu Qing went to Liushan Hall. It is said that they drank tea in the backyard of Liushan Hall for more than an hour."

"I don't know what they talked about, but they even practiced martial arts together and helped out at Liu Shan Tang. They didn't come back until dark."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai intently and understood something instantly.

Naturally, he felt somewhat unhappy when he heard this.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Yan Xiuchen asked Gu Yanbai with a grim expression.

Gu Yanbai smiled and shook his head, pointing to the distance, "My horse, it's faster when riding a horse."

Yan Xiuchen didn't say anything more. He pulled Gu Yanbai's horse and whipped the horse away.

Shunqing Marquis Mansion, Wutong Garden.

Jiang Qingwu looked in the bronze mirror, took off her hairpins and rings, and changed into casual clothes.

Wearing a plain gauze dress, looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but think of my past life.

She and Yan Lin were actually getting close to their wedding.

She thought that her love was unwavering, but it was just Yan Lin's calculation.

Just imagine now, who can firmly guarantee that Yan Xiuchen's deep affection will not fade away with time and become a mirage?

"Young lady... Your Highness is here."

Hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Qingwu's thoughts were pulled back. He put on a coat and hurried to open the door.

Yan Xiuchen was still wearing the palace attire, a black and gold brocade robe, and his eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Qingwu.

She wore light makeup and plain clothes, and even during the days when she stayed overnight in the palace, he had never seen her look so beautiful.

"Go down." Yan Xiuchen whispered to Wanyue, took Jiang Qingwu's wrist, and walked straight into the house.

"Hey...what's wrong? Did something happen in the palace?" Jiang Qingwu asked nervously, not noticing anything.

But the next moment, Yan Xiuchen turned around, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her lips without saying a word.
