Just casually sighing about when she can retire, and Qing Yin’s system immediately assigns her a childbirth task.
System: ...
Qing Yin: "Hehe... that's really thanks to you....
Although it was said that she was delivering the last floor, the Sixth Princess could only watch from afar the entire time.
The moment Concubine Li was covered with a white cloth, she suddenly realized that this man had really left her forever.
Although the Eighth Princess always looked down on Lipin, she was somewhat sincere towards the Sixth Princess.
She pursed her lips. Because she was used to the Sixth Princess coaxing her over the years, she stammered, "Sixth sister, you... don't be too sad."
The Sixth Princess shook her head calmly, "I just suddenly feel a little uncomfortable."
Not used to it?
Shouldn't I be sad?
The Sixth Princess didn't understand.
But fortunately she didn't ask any more questions.
After Lipin was carried away, the Eighth Princess said, "Sixth sister, let's go. Mother said you should go to her place after you send Lipin off."
The Sixth Princess nodded and said, "I should thank my mother in person for her grace."
When the two of them arrived outside the palace, they heard a nonchalant voice, "Sister, haven't you been urging me to get married for so many years? Now that I'm willing, why are you objecting?"
The Eighth Princess's face lit up with joy, "My uncle is back."
But the Sixth Princess felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and was trembling all over.
Hearing the voice, Meng Yuan turned his head to look outside the door. There was a black eye patch covering his right eye. When the Sixth Princess saw that face, her whole face turned pale in an instant.
He... is really back?
The eighth princess ran over happily, "Uncle, why are you back?"
Meng Yuan smiled and said, "Are you not welcoming your uncle back?" But he glanced at the Sixth Princess standing at the door.
There was only one eye in which a hint of viciousness flashed, which no one noticed.
The Eighth Princess said angrily, "How could that be? Of course I'm happy that my uncle is back."
Her uncle was the best to her when she was little, but unfortunately, he accidentally blinded one of his eyes and later left the capital.
However, although her uncle left the capital, he would send her many new and interesting things every year.
Therefore, she must be the happiest person that her uncle can return to Beijing.
Seeing the Sixth Princess still standing stupidly at the door, the Queen stood up for the first time and greeted her, "Did you go and see?"
The Sixth Princess was flattered and said, "I have seen it. Thank you for your grace, mother." As she said this, she was about to kneel down to pay her respects.
The Empress gave her a firm hand and sighed, "Please sit down. Your mother really can't understand why you would collude with the Fifth Prince to do such a thing."
The Sixth Princess lowered her head, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Meng Yuan spoke up at this moment, "Fifth Prince, it's been ages since I last saw you. I miss you." He stood up and said, "Sister, the matter I told you about is now entirely up to you. After all, the descendants of the Meng family shouldn't end up in my place."
After saying this, he smiled at the Sixth Princess and said, "My uncle brought back a lot of new and interesting things this time. I'll have someone send them to you later."
When the Sixth Princess heard that there was a gift for her, she smiled so hard that her teeth were visible.
When the Sixth Princess saw this scene, she felt it was ironic.
Who knew that this man had such a dirty mind hidden beneath his skin?
When the queen heard Meng Yuan talking about the fifth prince, her heart tightened. She was about to persuade him, but when she heard the word "offspring", she couldn't help but look at the sixth princess.
The Sixth Princess was being stared at and had a bad feeling in her heart.
Sure enough,
As soon as Meng Yuan left, the Queen sent the Eighth Princess away as well.
Although the queen always appears magnanimous to everyone, the Sixth Princess knows that she is not, if she is really magnanimous.
She wouldn't be punished to kneel after her mother slept with her every time.
She didn't understand it when she was a child and felt heartbroken.
But her mother slapped her in the face and said that she was disrespectful to the queen.
Since then, she never dared to say another word.
He only silently offered his mother a cup of hot tea after she finished kneeling.
The Queen looked the Sixth Princess up and down. In the past, this person always followed the Eighth Princess like a shadow, and she had never looked at her carefully. But now, although she was a little darker, she had a good figure, with the right curves and bends.
However, when she thought of her brother's hobby, the queen's brows slightly furrowed.
Of course, this worry was about her own brother and had nothing to do with the Sixth Princess.
After a long while, she finally spoke, "Before your mother confessed her crime, she came to see me and begged me to find a good home for you. Coincidentally, Meng Yuan just asked me for you..."
With a "click", the teacup next to the Sixth Princess's hand shattered.
She didn't care about anything else and knelt down directly. Her legs were immediately pierced by the porcelain and bled, but she seemed not to notice and kowtowed to the queen, saying: "Thank you for your kindness, mother, but my mother just passed away. I, I don't want to get married so soon."
Why would Meng Yuan ask to marry her?
Did he know?
Thinking of this, the Sixth Princess shook her head violently in her heart. It's impossible. There's no way he could know?
Back then, she tricked Qingyin into hiding in the rockery because she knew Meng Yuan would enter the palace that day and that place was a place he had to pass through.
She just threw a handkerchief on the ground before leaving.
Sure enough, Meng Yuan found Qingyin by following the handkerchief.
At first, she just wanted to use her clear voice to divert Meng Yuan's attention from her.
Unexpectedly, the fifth prince actually injured Meng Yuan and blinded one of his eyes.
Although she was happy that Meng Yuan was beaten, she was more jealous of Qingyin.
She didn't expect that the Fifth Prince would go this far for Qingyin. It was said that if the patrolling guards hadn't discovered him, Meng Yuan might have been beaten to death.
Now that I think about it, why not just beat Meng Yuan to death?
At this moment, the jealousy towards Qingyin actually turned into blaming the Fifth Prince.
If Qingyin knew that this person could think like this, she would probably grab her head and pour it into the water tank.
In the words of Qingyin,
Anyway, I have some water in my brain, so I don’t mind drinking more.
The Queen looked at the Sixth Princess with dissatisfaction. "Although Meng Yuan is older than you, he hasn't had a legitimate wife for so many years. If you marry him, you will be a proper Marquis' wife. What's wrong with that? If it weren't for your mother begging me, do you think such a good thing would have happened to you?"
Although the Sixth Princess has the title of princess, her mother is not favored and she herself is not valued by the emperor. To put it bluntly, she only has the empty title of princess.
And if it is peacetime, this kind of princess can marry into an official family and become the mistress of the house.
If it is a time of war, the only option is marriage.
Although Meng Yuan has not yet inherited the title of marquis, once the old Marquis Meng passes away, he will naturally be the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and the Sixth Princess's status will naturally rise.
The Sixth Princess still shook her head, "I beg you, Mother, to take back your decision. I, I already have someone I love."
My dear children, let’s generate love and power up our lives. I love you~
