Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Gu Qianning looked at Shen Wantang, then at her second brother, and after hesitating for a moment, she let down the curtain - her second brother had already seen her and spoken, so it should be okay, right?

She has done her best. He must not mention anything about her marrying far away again, otherwise she will say a lot of bad things about him in front of Shen Wantang.

She stretched out her wrist and showed the tourmaline on her wrist to Shen Wantang: "Tang, look, does my bracelet look good?"

Shen Wantang nodded: "It looks good."

"Since you think it looks good, I'll give you one too."

As Gu Qianning spoke, she took out an exquisite rosewood box and handed it to Shen Wantang.

Shen Wantang opened it and saw that there was a tourmaline bracelet inside that was similar to the one on Gu Qianning's wrist.

However, the one on Gu Qianning's wrist was blue-green tourmaline, while hers was rouge pink.

Shen Wantang looked at the bracelet and was distracted for a moment: "A Ning, where did you get this bracelet?"

"Oh, I bought this at a jewelry store. How about it? Do you like it? If not, I can change it for you in a different color."

“I like it. This color is great.”

Gu Qianning smiled: "I'm glad you like it, try it on and see."

Shen Wantang put the tourmaline bracelet on her wrist.

Gu Qianning exclaimed: "Oh, it fits you so well, it looks like it was made just for you! Mine is a little too big, I had to remove two beads to make it fit better."

"It's indeed very suitable and beautiful. Thank you, An Ning."

Shen Wantang thanked him with a smile, her fingers touching the sparkling tourmaline beads, but her eyes subconsciously looked towards the window.

The curtain blocked her view, but she knew that Gu Qianhan was outside.

This bracelet was the one she wore in her previous life.

But when she dressed in men's clothes and appeared as Liao Youhe's aide, she did not wear any jewelry. She only wore this tourmaline when she dressed in women's clothes and appeared as Liao Youhe's wife.

But the number of times she appeared in front of Gu Qianhan wearing women's clothes was very few.

He shouldn't have known that the bracelet was hers.

Is it a coincidence?

Did Gu Qianning really buy her personal belongings from her previous life by accident?

There was no flaw in Gu Qianning's performance. Shen Wantang thought about it for a moment and then stopped thinking about it.

No matter what, this bracelet is now given to her by Gu Qianning.

She couldn't let go and touched it again and again, planning to go to the warehouse and pick out something presentable to give to Gu Qianning as a return gift.

Along the way, they chatted about everything and had a very pleasant conversation.

By the time they arrived at Fazhen Temple, the two of them had become much more friendly.

But Shen Wantang did not feel relieved, because after all the trials along the way, she found that it was much more difficult than she thought to separate Gu Qianning and the prince.

No wonder Gu Qianhan failed. It turned out that Gu Qianning wanted to marry the prince not only because she liked him, but more importantly, she felt that this was her responsibility and mission as the daughter of the Gu family.

In Fazhen Temple, the incense is still very popular.

Because prayers in the temple are very effective, whenever there are major natural disasters or man-made disasters, a large number of people will flock to Fazhen Temple to pray.

The sound of chanting scriptures coming from the front hall makes people feel much calmer.

Those who came to pray had pious expressions on their faces, and they donated money to the temple generously.

There are too many people. Now, Fazhen Temple not only has many people from the capital who come to pray for blessings, but also many refugees from outside.

Du Juan loyally protected Shen Wantang. When someone tried to push over, she would block them for Shen Wantang.

Gu Qianning's maid was also in front of her to protect her.

When they were almost at the main hall, Gu Qianning suddenly pulled Shen Wantang's sleeve: "Atang, I think I saw my cousin."

Shen Wantang was shocked: "He's here too? Where is he?" Why is the prince so haunting? Wherever Gu Qianning is, he's there.

"I think his figure looks a lot like my cousin. What is he doing in Fazhen Temple? Is he here to pray as well? Atang, cover for me. I'm going to go find my cousin. Don't let my second brother know. He doesn't want me to get too close to my cousin."

After Gu Qianning finished speaking, she took advantage of the cover of many pilgrims and slipped away with her maid.

Shen Wantang tried to catch her but failed!

She hurried to find Gu Qianhan: "Second Master, An Ning left with her maid. She said she saw her cousin. What if she saw the wrong person? You should chase her quickly. She went in that direction."

Gu Qianhan knew that his sister was not mistaken, because he actually saw the prince earlier than Gu Qianning, but he did not expect that his sister would dare to go find the prince right under his nose.

He looked at Shen Wantang and said in a calm tone, "Don't worry, it's not safe for you to be alone. There are a lot of people here today. Just follow me and go find Qian Ning together. I know where my cousin will go."

He called "cousin" in a very unfamiliar and even stiff way.

Obviously, he disliked the prince very much.

Shen Wantang knew that he and the prince had a blood feud that resulted in the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire family, so it was already a great achievement for him to be able to call him cousin.

She followed Gu Qianhan quietly, going wherever he went.

But he seemed afraid that he would lose her, so he would look back after walking a few steps to make sure she was there before he would continue walking.

Sometimes when someone pushed towards her, he would silently help her block them.

He was so attentive and caring towards her that even Du Juan noticed his care and whispered, "Princess, Second Young Master Gu is not as cold and unkind as the legend says. I think he looks cold on the outside but warm on the inside!"

Shen Wantang nodded slightly: "He is very thoughtful."

Du Juan looked up at the tall Gu Qianhan and thought silently in her heart that she felt that the Second Young Master Gu was much more reliable than the Crown Prince. If it were the Crown Prince, he would never look at the Crown Prince's Consort like this. He would probably think that it would be better if the Crown Prince's Consort was lost.

If the Crown Princess marries...

Bah, bah, bah, what is she thinking about!

Shen Wantang had no idea that her little maid was having wild thoughts. She was a little worried about Gu Qianning and just wanted to find her as soon as possible.

She followed Gu Qianhan through the crowded crowd to the backyard of Fazhen Temple.

There are rows of meditation rooms in the backyard, which are used for rest by the men and women of the noble families. These people donate thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver for incense and offerings, so they are treated preferentially when they come to the temple.

At the end of the Zen room, there is a separate small courtyard, and faint voices can be heard from inside.

Before Shen Wantang could figure out who was speaking, she heard Gu Qianhan say in a low voice, "It's the prince."

Shen Wantang was a little surprised. Was his hearing so good? She could only hear intermittent whispers and couldn't tell who was talking.

Then didn't he also hear the whispers between her and Dujuan behind him just now?

Fortunately, she was cautious and didn't say anything she shouldn't have.
