Chapter 446 The Water Fell

"Eat slowly, no one is competing with you for it."

Princess Yuqing avoided her mother's sharp gaze and hurriedly fed her daughter water.

Stroke her back.

The Queen was stunned for a moment, then asked, "When did this happen between you and Cui Yan?"

She thought Miaomiao was her own granddaughter, but she didn't expect that her granddaughter's biological father would be Cui Yan.

Very good, the boy from the Cui family actually kidnapped her daughter.

And gave birth to a baby.

He is quite brave.

Seeing that her mother had a cold face and didn't say anything, Princess Yuqing knelt down obediently to answer.

"Mother, Miaomiao is so big now, it's natural that we..." Naturally, we have known each other for many years.

According to common sense, the Queen Mother would stand on their side now that she heard that Cui Yan was Miaomiao's biological father.

You should be happy.

Why this expression?

Empress Cao frowned and poked her daughter on the forehead, saying helplessly, "You are so shameless! If your father knew about this, he would be so angry that he would die."

"It would be better if you died of anger. If you died of anger, you wouldn't cause trouble to the Queen Mother."

Empress Cao glared at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Princess Yuqing pursed her lips and said, "Mother, please calm down. I have spoken out of turn."

"Get up." The Queen extended her hand to help her up and continued, "Do you know that when Cui Yan first entered the court, he was very strict and even advised your father against interfering in state affairs and arguing with you, asking your father to discipline me."

Princess Yuqing:...Uh!

She really didn't know this.

Cui Yan's personality seems like something he would say.

However, although my mother is powerful, she is not a narrow-minded person.

If you really can't stand Cui Yan, you should find a way to deal with him before he is fully grown.

She had no choice but to say some good things on Cui Yan's behalf: "Mother, Cui Yan had just entered the officialdom at that time. He was young and arrogant, and didn't know his place. He must be very regretful now. I will make him kowtow and admit his mistake in front of you another day. Please don't hold it against him." Princess Yuqing hurriedly apologized for Cui Yan.

"Then I'll wait for him to kowtow."

Empress Cao didn't show it on her face, but she was actually happy in her heart.

Although Cao Chong is her nephew from her mother's family, he is really useless and has a vicious mind.

The reason why I agreed to Qing'er marrying him was simply because he was from my mother's family.

Thinking that he would hold Qing'er in his hands and treasure her like a treasure.

Unexpectedly...

I didn't expect it to be so unbearable.

If he is still alive, he will be cut into pieces.

Cao Chong and Cui Yan are not comparable at all.

In the final analysis, it’s all because of those damn ancestral etiquette and the emperor’s fear.

Otherwise, Miaomiao wouldn't have been stranded outside for so many years.

From a public perspective, Cui Yan held the important position of Prime Minister at a young age.

Talented, resourceful and strategic.

The most important thing is to gain the emperor's trust.

With the help of Cui Yan and the Cui family, her chances of winning are very high.

Looking at her cute little granddaughter with her mouth full of biscuit crumbs, Empress Cao took a handkerchief and wiped it for her.

She instructed her daughters: "Don't worry about the matter of deposing the queen. I will make the decision myself. Qing'er, take Miaomiao to rest. You can stay in my palace tonight."

Princess Yuqing couldn't sleep at all.

The person who tied the bell must untie it, so she must go and see Shen Zhaoyi tonight.

After coaxing her daughter to sleep, she quietly left.

Miaomiao raised her eyelids.

I was too curious and couldn't sleep at all, tossing and turning. I always felt that something was going to happen tonight.

Wondering how the Queen grandmother would respond.

As I was thinking, I fell asleep.

Sleep until midnight.

There was a commotion outside the house.

It seemed like someone was walking outside the house, and there was the flickering light of torches.

I could vaguely hear something like a fire or someone trying to put out a fire.

Miaomiao was suddenly awakened and jumped up: "Fire? Where is the fire?"

Xier, who was sleeping in the outer room, came in with an oil lamp.

Lifting the curtain, he said, "Don't panic, Princess. It's the fire in Concubine Chen's bedroom. It has nothing to do with us. Just sleep peacefully."

She heard the noise before her master and went out to inquire.

Concubine Chen's bedroom was far away from them, so the fire could not reach here.

In the palace, you should ask less, interfere less, and watch less.

This was instructed by Princess Yuqing.

But this is in the palace, no matter how strong Miaomiao's mentality is, she will encounter such a thing.

How could I continue to sleep peacefully?

I knew that there was unrest in the palace, but I didn't expect something to happen the first time I stayed there.

So scary.

Ancient buildings were all made of wood, and once a fire started, it was hard to stop.

If there is another strong wind.

It's all over.

Although it was far away, I still felt an inexplicable fear.

She held Xier's hand and asked, "Where are mother and grandmother? Is uncle the prince okay?"

"Everything is fine. I heard from the palace maid that the emperor is staying in Concubine Chen's palace tonight. There is a fire over there, and Your Highness the Princess should go and take a look."

"Where is the Queen's grandmother?"

"He's coaxing the little grandson to sleep in the house."

"I'm going to take a look..." Miaomiao said as she slid off the bed, put on her shoes and was about to go out.

Xier hurriedly chased after him and put a cloak on her master, as it was very cold in this late spring.

It doesn’t matter if Concubine Chen’s bedroom burns down, but we can’t let her young master get frozen.

Miaomiao had just gone out when she happened to meet her grandmother, the queen, who came to look for her.

In his arms was the whimpering little Yu'er.

The queen coaxed her little grandson while pulling her granddaughter into the house: "Go back to the house and sleep, don't go out."

She looked at Miaomiao, who looked calm, and Xiaoyuer, who looked frightened.

I feel so sad.

Both children had tragic fates.

Xiao Miaomiao was able to remain so calm, probably because she had experienced many similar things.

Yu'er was originally a lively and cheerful child, but since she drowned last time, she has become very timid and easily frightened.

Sleep is restless and easily awakened.

He is also afraid of rain and thunder.

It feels like I have lost my soul.

But the strange thing is that as long as the little guy is with Miaomiao, he doesn't cry or make a fuss and becomes quiet.

After being dragged back to the house by her grandmother, Miaomiao had no choice but to lie back on the bed.

Looking at my grandmother's expression, I always felt that this matter had something to do with her.

Empress Cao felt uncomfortable being stared at by the little girl next to her, and always felt that there was something else in the little girl's eyes.

Can't see through.

Not what she should have at her age.

He reached out and covered her eyes: "Stop looking and go to sleep."

Miaomiao: ...
