The news from the inn quickly reached Gu Beichen's ears, and Qingfeng stood in front of Gu Beichen and asked.
"My lord, do you want to stop that letter?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Beichen shook his head and said, "No need. I want to let Tuoba Kingdom know that I want to marry the princess."
Hearing this, Qingfeng immediately retreated.
Gu Beichen looked in the direction of the Princess's Mansion through the open window in front of him, wondering what kind of expression An Ruowan would show after hearing the news.
However, what Gu Beichen didn't expect was that Princess Zhen in the palace and Princess Pingning, who had often hung around in front of him before, actually made no move after the imperial edict was issued.
Thinking of this, Gu Beichen frowned unconsciously. He always felt that it was impossible for these two people to accept this matter so easily, so he immediately raised his hand to call the butler beside him.
"Go and keep an eye on the movements in the mother-in-law's courtyard. There must be no accidents before my wedding."
Gu Beichen frowned slightly, and after finishing his words, the housekeeper turned around and retreated.
After settling everything, Gu Beichen breathed a sigh of relief and went to Princess Zhen's courtyard in person.
"I've met my mother-in-law."
When Princess Zhen heard the news that Gu Beichen had arrived, she sneered. Especially now that she heard Gu Beichen's voice, her face immediately darkened.
"What are you doing here?"
Gu Beichen insisted on marrying An Ruowan despite her objections. He made it clear that he did not take her as a mother-in-law seriously, and she naturally did not want to save face for Gu Beichen.
Sensing that there was something wrong with Concubine Zhen's tone, Gu Beichen didn't take it seriously and opened his mouth to ask.
"Where is the phoenix crown that was originally intended to be left to Princess Rong?"
Sure enough, when she heard what Gu Beichen said, Princess Zhen couldn't help but sneer. She knew that Gu Beichen would never come to her in vain.
"Zitan is so kind to Princess Yuanshuang."
Hearing the displeasure in Princess Zhen's words, Gu Beichen didn't take her attitude to heart at all. He raised his head and looked around.
"The things are meant to be given to Princess Rong. Now that Ruowan is the princess, why can't you give them to her?"
Gu Beichen sat down at the table and made it clear that he came here today to take away the phoenix crown so that he could deliver it to the princess's mansion before the wedding.
Concubine Zhen saw what Gu Beichen meant clearly and sighed heavily.
Just when Gu Beichen wanted to say more, Princess Zhen unexpectedly waved her hand and asked her servants to take out the original phoenix crown from the box on the side.
Gu Beichen saw how easily Princess Zhen took out the things and narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't know what Princess Zhen's plan was.
"The stuff is right here."
After seeing this, Gu Beichen did not take the things away directly. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Concubine Zhen in front of him, "What are the conditions for concubine to take out the things?"
It was only then that Princess Zhen realized that she had forgotten that giving things away so easily seemed like she had some intentions.
After thinking for a moment, Princess Zhen raised her eyes and looked at Gu Beichen, "I know that you don't like Arina from Tuoba Kingdom, so I have never thought of forcing you, but your position as concubine will definitely I want to keep it for you."
Gu Beichen's eyes darkened, as if he didn't expect that Princess Zhen had never taken his words to heart, "I said, I have no plans to take in concubines for the time being!"
As soon as the words fell, the smile that was barely maintained on Princess Zhen's face also disappeared.
"Zitan, do you really want to be so persistent?"
The curse words that Princess Zhen was about to say came to her lips, but she still maintained her dignity and did not say the words.
"good."
Gu Beichen responded to the matter without hesitation and stared at Concubine Zhen with determination in his eyes.
When their eyes met, Gu Beichen could see the anger welling up in Princess Zhen's eyes, but he did not give in at all.
But before Gu Beichen could say anything more, he saw that Princess Zhen had thought of something, and the anger in her eyes calmed down at that moment.
"That's all, the child has grown up and she has no control over it. I don't want to argue with you about this matter. You will always understand that I am doing it for your own good later."
Princess Zhen spoke earnestly, but after sighing, her eyes fell on the phoenix crown, "Just take the things away."
Since Princess Zhen agreed so easily, Gu Beichen didn't think much, got up, turned around and walked out with his things.
Seeing that Gu Beichen really planned to leave like this, Princess Zhen's face became even more angry, but until Gu Beichen's back disappeared, Princess Zhen didn't speak again.
When the footsteps in the courtyard disappeared, a figure stepped out from behind the screen, and quickly came to Princess Zhen's side to beat her legs and squeeze her shoulders, "Don't worry, cousin, when the time comes, the rice will be cooked and the peace will be assured." It’ll piss you off.”
As if she was afraid that Princess Zhen would not believe her, Princess Pingning knelt down in front of Princess Zhen before continuing, "When the time comes, I can accept the position of concubine as long as it does not pose a threat to the position of principal concubine. "
This was the biggest concession Princess Pingning could make, but these words really made Princess Zhen look a little better, and she took Pingning's hand.
"It's better for our own people to understand my painstaking efforts."
After the words fell, Princess Pingning's face flashed with joy. She didn't expect that this matter would happen so quickly.
"Thank you, cousin!"
Princess Pingning stood up from the ground, cupped her hands towards Concubine Zhen, then raised a smile and retreated.
After Gu Beichen left with the phoenix crown, he still felt that Princess Zhen would not be so kind to hand over the things. Then he thought again and thought that he had asked the housekeeper to pay attention to the movements here, so nothing would happen.
He was about to return to the courtyard, but as soon as he turned around, Gu Beichen came to the princess's mansion in person with the phoenix crown.
An Ruowan was doing nothing in the room at the moment. She didn't want to see a figure appear in front of her the next second, causing her to subconsciously turn her head and look over. However, when she saw clearly who the person was, her eyes widened and she raised her head the next second. Feet ready to leave.
However, before An Ruowan could take a step outside, he was blocked by Gu Beichen.
"Princess Yuanshuang, is there something urgent that you have to do now?"
Hearing this, An Ruowan seemed to have just realized that he had appeared here, with a look of laughter, "I didn't see Prince Rong come here, I have seen Prince Rong."
Seeing An Ruowan still looking so distant, Gu Beichen's face flashed with displeasure, "Is Princess Yuanshuang still so distant? Why do I think the relationship between the two of us is even worse than Not when we first met?”
Hearing that Gu Beichen still remembered such a trivial matter put a sad smile on An Ruowan's face.
"I didn't expect that Prince Rong would still have the mind to remember these trivial things. I have never heard of it before."
