413 I’m Not Interested in Marriage

“I will not agree to this.” Gu Qingxue answered without thinking.

“That’s right. Even if you want to remarry, you should choose a man with good looks and character. How can you be afraid that my daughter will run to the backyard and fight with a group of little girls for a man? ” Madam Qiao said seriously.

“Mother, I have no interest in marriage. I just want to live with my three children. When they grow up, I’ll leave the village and travel around.” Gu Qingxue had never thought of remarrying. She only wanted to live a peaceful life.

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to do this. Xue’er, mother knows that you don’t like Jing City, but the emperor’s orders can’t be disobeyed. Once the emperor wants you to stay, you can only obediently listen,” Madam Qiao said worriedly.

Knowing that Madam Qiao would not mention this matter for no reason, Gu Qingxue asked, “Mother’s meaning is that His Majesty wants me to enter the palace as a female doctor?”

“Xue’er, you’ve never met His Majesty before, so you don’t know much about him. His Majesty is a person who values talents greatly. Based on my understanding of His Majesty, there is an eight or nine out of ten chance that you will be kept in the palace.” Imperial Duke Zhan added.

Gu Qingxue furrowed her brows tightly. After hearing this, she was indeed a little worried.

She knew very well that she was not the emperor’s match. Once the emperor gave her an order, no matter if she liked it or not, she would have to stay.

Seeing Gu Qingxue’s frown, Madam Qiao could not bear to see her sad, so she comforted her in a soft voice, “Xue’er, you don’t have to think too much. This might not be a bad thing. From the plague incident, mother can see that you’re outstanding. It’s indeed a waste of your talent to leave you in the village.”

How could Gu Qingxue not know that with her abilities, she could do well in the palace?

However, she did not want to live so cautiously. She did not want to be so cautious of everyone around her.

Gu Qingxue’s lips curled up into a smile. “Mother, everyone has their own aspirations. Even if I am forced to stay, I will find a way to leave first. Tomorrow morning, His Royal Highness will bring me into the palace. After I leave the palace, you can all be with me and know His Majesty’s thoughts.”

“No matter what your identity is, you’re still my daughter. As long as I’m here, no one can bully you,” Imperial Duke Zhan said with a serious expression.

Gu Qingxue felt a warm current in her heart, and she nodded in agreement.

When the three little ones heard this, they could not help but feel a little impatient.

Gu Lin observed his grandfather and grandmother’s expressions. Seeing that they were all worried, he couldn’t help but say, “Grandfather, grandmother, don’t be unhappy. We have a gift for you.”

As they spoke, the three little children each took out two ears of grain and gave them to the two of them.

“Grandfather, grandmother, we made this ourselves. I hope you like it.” It was the first time that Gu Lin had given something he had made to someone else. He could not help but feel shy.

Both Imperial Duke Zhan and Madam Qiao were overjoyed. They carefully reached out and took the tassels that the three little ones had woven, and quickly put them on their wrists, praising them.

“It’s really nice! From now on, grandfather will definitely wear this tassel every day.” Imperial Duke Zhan could not hide his smile. As he spoke, he looked at the tassels on his wrist with joy.
