Chapter 486 End
April in the world.
The most beautiful season.
The whole garden is filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.
Princess Yuqing had a good sleep, and her dreams were filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.
I slept until the afternoon.
He opened his eyes and stretched slowly.
Feeling a little headache, she frowned and reached out to rub her temples.
It was all Lu Sanniang's fault. She got her drunk last night and passed out. She's been sleeping ever since.
Nanny Feng stepped forward and lifted the curtain: "Your Highness, you are finally awake. Prime Minister Cui has been waiting in the garden for a long time."
Cui Yan!
I just dreamed of Cui Yan, why is he here?
A blush appeared on Princess Yuqing's face.
I quickly got up and changed my clothes.
"How long has he been here? Why didn't he wake me up?"
"You've been here for an hour. Prime Minister Cui didn't allow us to wake you up." Nanny Feng said as she was busy washing and changing clothes for her master.
Needless to say, she also knew what her master was thinking.
Whenever Prime Minister Cui came, the princess would dress up neatly and even put on full makeup.
Otherwise, she would not wear makeup when she had nothing to do at home on weekdays.
After washing up, Princess Yuqing looked at herself in the mirror, feeling very satisfied. She asked Nanny Feng, "What time is it now?"
"It's noon."
"I'm hungry, go get me something to eat."
She slept soundly and didn't eat breakfast or lunch.
She could only ask Cui Yan to accompany her to eat something.
"Your Highness, Prime Minister Cui has had food prepared and is waiting for you in the pavilion in the backyard."
When Princess Yuqing heard this, she was delighted.
Cui Yan is a very busy person on weekdays, especially after his fifth brother ascended the throne, it is difficult to make an appointment with him.
If I hadn't known that he had mentioned their marriage to his fifth brother.
She even suspected that Cui Yan had no intention of marrying her at all.
He actually had time to come and see her today, and waited for such a long time. Could it be that he learned from his fifth brother that she was going to accompany him to the north, and came here specifically to persuade her?
This is the most likely possibility.
But she has made up her mind about this matter, and no one can sway her.
She slowed down her pace and turned back to tell Aunt Feng: "Go next door and bring Miaomiao here."
In the daughter's words, her father is a daughter slave.
Cui Yan would listen to whatever Miaomiao said, and would even break the rules for her and never go back on his word about what he promised her.
It seems that Cui Yan is in front of Miaomiao and he still wants to stop her from going.
Pavilion in the center of the lake.
Cui Yan was reading a book in the pavilion, very absorbed in it.
He even brought all the official documents, asked for leave from the emperor, and planned to spend a few days with Yuqing before leaving Beijing.
He didn't raise his head until he smelled the faint scent of powder.
Princess Yuqing was already standing in front of him.
Looking at the documents on the table, he asked, "What does Prime Minister Cui mean by this? Is he going to live in my house?"
"Is it not possible?"
Princess Yuqing curled the corners of her lips but did not respond to him.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement." Cui Yan then ordered the maid to serve the dishes.
Princess Yuqing sat down opposite him, rubbing her head. She looked up at Cui Yan and asked, "Do you think Prime Minister Cui is able to handle the servants in my mansion?"
"Of course it's easy." Cui Yan handed her a glass of water.
Princess Yuqing took it, took a sip, and found it sweet. She asked, "Is this honey syrup?"
"Um."
Cui Yan walked around behind her, placed his hand on her temples, rubbed it gently, and said softly, "Do you have a headache? My daughter said you were hungover last night. You shouldn't drink, so why did you drink so much?"
"It's still Lu Sanniang. My daughter said she was heartbroken after a breakup and asked me to have a few drinks with her. But you just met Miaomiao, why didn't you bring her along?"
Princess Yuqing closed her eyes, looking very happy.
When did she and Cui Yan ever have such leisure and relaxing time like they do now?
I wish time would stop at this moment.
At this moment, Nanny Feng ran back panting.
Seeing this heartwarming scene, I didn't want to disturb my master, so I just walked around.
"What's the matter?" Cui Yan let go of his hand and returned to his seat.
Nanny Feng walked over to Princess Yuqing and reported, "Your Highness, the young princess and Madam Lu are not at home. They've both left."
"What do you mean they're all gone?"
"He left the capital early in the morning and went to the frontier..." Nanny Feng lowered her head and lowered her voice.
"What? Gone!" Princess Yuqing stood up suddenly, a look of disbelief on her face. "This Lu Qingyao is so bold! She didn't even wait for me, got me drunk, and quietly abducted my daughter away. She must have relied on the fact that she raised Miaomiao and that I was so open with her. She knew for sure that I wouldn't kill her, but she actually dared to deceive me. This is too much!"
He was so audacious, so arrogant, and looked down on her...
Princess Yuqing was so angry that she almost threw the plate.
Being held back by Cui Yan, he took out a letter from his bosom and said, "Don't be angry first. This is the letter that Madam Lu asked me to give you. Please take a look first.
I originally wanted to wait until Yuqing finished her meal before telling her.
Seeing her like this, I'm afraid she's not in the mood to eat.
However, from what she said, it seemed that she wanted to leave with Madam Lu and Miaomiao.
Princess Yuqing took the letter, still furious, and kept muttering, "I'd like to see how Lu Qingyao is going to explain..."
As he was speaking, the voice suddenly stopped.
The person who was originally angry suddenly calmed down after reading the contents of the letter.
Blinking her big eyes, she looked at Cui Yan and asked, "Where did you meet your daughter this morning?"
"At the dock, Miaomiao sent someone to deliver a message last night. They left Beijing early this morning at dawn and asked me to go to the dock to see them off. They said you drank too much and couldn't get out of bed, so they didn't say goodbye to you. That's why I came to comfort you. But you just said that they didn't wait for you. Are you going to the northern border with them too?" Cui Yan looked into Yuqing's eyes.
Having seen her unknown side, Cui Yan still knows this eldest princess quite well.
Miaomiao went to the northern border with Madam Lu, and he was about to set off for the northern border for peace talks. Yuqing might have also thought about going with them.
"Cui Lang, please take me with you. I can't bear to leave you and my daughter. I want to see you every day." Princess Yuqing grabbed Cui Yan's sleeve and looked at him eagerly, almost sticking to him.
Cui Yan remained unmoved on the surface, but he was already extremely troubled in his heart.
He had just requested an imperial decree from the emperor yesterday to grant the marriage, and he would read out the decree after returning from the peace talks.
He and Qing'er will be able to get married next year.
Naturally, I don't want to separate now.
But Yuqing is the eldest princess of Daliang. Without the emperor's approval, who would dare to take her to the border?
Madam Lu probably had similar concerns, which is why she sneaked away first.
"No." He took Princess Yuqing's hand away and said sternly, "If the Queen Mother and the Emperor knew I kidnapped you, wouldn't they tear me into pieces?"
Princess Yuqing turned to hug him, looked up at him, and smiled sweetly, "No, I'm here, who would dare to cut you into pieces? Besides, the Emperor couldn't persuade me, so he agreed. He only asked that I not reveal my identity. I don't want to be separated from you, so take me with you, okay?"
Cui Yan almost couldn't resist her soft and hard persuasion, but still refused to give in: "No, I can't take you away."
They were traveling with men, and it would be inconvenient to bring the princess along.
Princess Yuqing saw that her tenderness and her best efforts to curry favor with him could not melt the ice.
My heart is full of disappointment.
She shook off his hand and stood far away from him, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Cui Yan changed.
"Cui Yan, I am a descendant of the royal family, the emperor's sister, and the eldest princess of Daliang. I have my own pride and dignity. When I was young, I was always around you, but now I am humbled and shamelessly begging you, and you are actually indifferent. I used to think that I was dispensable in your heart, and it turns out that it is really like this..."
As Princess Yuqing spoke, her eyes became red.
She bit her lip and said the words she was most reluctant to say: "You, Cui Yan, as the Prime Minister, have lofty ambitions and care about the people of the world, but there is no place for me..."
"Forget it! I'm tired too. Let's go our separate ways. We won't interfere with each other and live our own lives. No matter how many beautiful wives you marry, I won't stop you."
Princess Yuqing turned around and left after she finished speaking.
Nanny Feng's frown was so strong that it could kill a fly, and she wanted to step forward to stop her master.
It took a lot of effort to get together, and now you have a little princess, so don't break up over a single disagreement.
There is no hope for the couple Madam Lu and Lord Mu.
This couple must be good.
There must be a perfect pair, otherwise the little princess will become a fatherless child again.
Cui Yan panicked and took a step forward to grab Yuqing, pulling her into his arms and hugging her tightly: "Qing'er, it's not like this..."
At this moment, he was scared.
Because he saw determination in Yuqing's eyes, just like ten years ago.
He was afraid that the princess would leave resolutely.
"Qing'er, it's not like that. You are very important to me, more important than my life. I didn't let you go because I was afraid you would be in danger."
"real?"
"I swear, if this is false and I have been unfaithful to Qing'er, I will die a miserable death."
"Okay, I'll believe you for now." Princess Yuqing still felt unsatisfied, so she pulled Cui Yan's arm and bit it.
This guy is really something. Unless I use some tricks, I can't force him to tell the truth.
Cui Yan also let her bite him without moving.
He hugged her and said, "Are you calm now? If you are, hurry up and eat. The food will get cold soon."
"I'll pack my bags and go with you in a minute. From now on, I'll be your servant. Don't even think about getting rid of me."
Cui Yan pursed his lips and chuckled: "Okay, little book boy."
Seeing that he had compromised, Princess Yuqing sat down and had her meal with peace of mind.
Seeing that the two ancestors had reconciled, Nanny Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. She almost thought that the princess was really going to turn against her.
These two people, one is the eldest princess and the other is the prime minister of the current dynasty.
Each one is more arrogant than the other.
One of them has to be willing to bow his head.
