Just when An Ruowan was about to speak, he felt Arina's gaze again. He paused and turned his eyes, looking at Gu Beichen with a smile.
"In this matter, it would be better if the Holy One asked Prince Rong whether the palace has any plans to recruit new people in the near future."
Gu Beichen was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the two people showing such expressions on her face, Arina felt so angry that she blurted out, "Then there can't be only one principal concubine in Prince Rong's palace, right?"
An Zhining, who had finally moved into Prince Rong's palace, had just been kicked out of the palace some time ago. Arina didn't believe that Gu Beichen could only marry An Ruowan in this life!
After the words fell, everyone in the palace froze on the spot. A flash of surprise flashed in An Ruowan's eyes. It seemed that she did not expect that such an arrogant Arina would be willing to become a concubine.
"Since the princess has this intention, I will not let the princess return disappointed."
Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed across Arrina's eyes, but Gu Beichen's face suddenly darkened, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Arina raised the corners of her mouth and bowed to the emperor.
"Brother Emperor..."
Gu Beichen wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the emperor's wave of his hand, "Princess Arina has been working hard recently, go back and rest."
After Arina turned around and left, the emperor raised his eyes and looked in front of him.
"What do you want to say, brother-in-law?"
Seeing the displeasure in the emperor's eyes, Gu Beichen still took half a step forward, "Brother Huang just agreed to Arina's words. What did you mean?"
Hearing the questioning tone in Gu Beichen's words, the emperor immediately snorted, "Brother, are you questioning my decision?"
"My brother is not ready to take a concubine now."
Gu Beichen seemed not to have noticed the emperor's expression, and immediately said these words.
"Then you plan to marry a concubine?"
The emperor's gaze fell on An Ruowan who was standing aside, intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed to be a warning and a threat.
Gu Beichen also looked at An Ruowan at this moment and blurted out two words without hesitation, "Exactly."
After the words fell, even An Ruowan's eyes widened in an instant, completely unprepared.
"Then let the two of them enter together to show that I, Da Qi, attach great importance to this matter."
The emperor settled the matter as soon as he opened his mouth, without considering the decisions of the two people in front of him.
An Ruowan on the side couldn't help but curled her lips, what are you doing? It was such a drama last time, but it happened again this time?
But the person in front of her was the emperor. If she refused directly, it would be a big loss if the emperor beheaded her in anger.
Just when An Ruowan was still thinking wildly, Gu Beichen stepped forward and took her hand.
"Brother, please forgive me. I promised Ruo Wan that if I marry her as my concubine, I will never take any concubines for the rest of my life!"
As Gu Beichen finished speaking, An Ruowan's eyes widened even more, and only one thought came to his mind: What is going on now?
The emperor's eyes also fell on the two of them, as if he did not expect such words to come out of Gu Beichen's mouth.
"We will discuss this later."
The emperor didn't want to say anything more and drove the two of them out with a wave of his hand.
But when Gu Beichen stepped out of the room, the emperor's voice came slowly behind him.
"Your Majesty, please consider this matter carefully!"
Gu Beichen paused, then nodded slightly to the emperor, and walked out with An Ruowan.
After leaving the palace gate, An Ruowan slowed down unconsciously, her eyes fell on the hands of the two of them intertwined, and she didn't know what she was feeling in her heart for a moment.
After walking a short distance, An Ruowan tried to pull his hand out, but failed several times and made Gu Beichen look back at her.
For some reason, being stared at by him like this made An Ruowan feel a little strange in her heart. She lowered her eyes subconsciously, but only spoke again after seeing their hands.
"There shouldn't be any need for drama here, right?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a cold wind blowing around her, making her shiver unconsciously.
"In your eyes, what I did just now was just for show?"
It wasn't until Gu Beichen's voice came from above that An Ruowan came back to her senses, but she nodded subconsciously.
It was better now, but An Ruowan felt colder all over.
The next second, Gu Beichen actually let go of her hand and strode out.
Looking at Gu Beichen's back, An Ruowan could feel that he was angry, but why?
Although she didn't know what was going on for a while, she still subconsciously followed Gu Beichen out.
After leaving the palace gate, An Ruowan and Gu Beichen sat in a carriage, but seeing the look on Gu Beichen's face, An Ruowan could only think carefully about what happened just now.
It wasn't until the carriage stopped that An Ruowan said bravely, "I see that the prince's face is not good, why don't you take his pulse?"
Gu Beichen did not respond, but still stretched out his wrist.
"Your Majesty, this is a rage that attacks your heart."
An Ruowan spoke with determination, and then turned her eyes to Gu Beichen, "If I keep this matter in my heart, I'm afraid it will be bad for the prince's health. If the prince tells me what he is thinking about, let me Solve problems for the prince."
Hearing this, Gu Beichen actually raised his head and said, "Why did you stop me on the street in the first place?"
This sudden sentence made An Ruowan freeze on the spot. Although she instantly realized when Gu Beichen was referring to, she didn't know why Gu Beichen suddenly asked about it.
Seeing An Ruowan frozen in place, Gu Beichen frowned and simply turned around and got out of the carriage.
An Ruowan didn't expect Gu Beichen to be so angry. She clearly hadn't figured out what to say yet, so why did he leave?
When she poked her head out, she saw Gu Beichen's figure disappearing instantly.
"Miss, where are we going now?"
Seeing that An Ruowan hadn't caught up yet, even Caihuan was anxious in her eyes and couldn't help but ask.
"Go home."
After thinking about it, An Ruowan turned around and returned to the carriage. She didn't want to get into trouble at this time, not to mention that it wouldn't be long before news from the palace would come out. By then, there would be a treasure in Prince Rong's palace. Toffee.
Now that An Ruowan had an idea, Caihuan couldn't say much and could only follow An Ruowan back.
As soon as An Ruowan left, news from the palace reached Concubine Zhen's ears. She frowned, as if she didn't expect that Gu Beichen would dare to do such a thing behind her back!
"Go and call Zitan!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Zhen stood up and said, "No need, I will go find him myself!"
Seeing the angry look on Concubine Zhen's face, the maid did not dare to say anything and only hurriedly followed her.
"Zitan, I'm in the palace today..."
Before entering the door, Princess Zhen's voice came in first. Gu Beichen sat there with an expression on his face without any change.
"I've met my mother-in-law."
