[By the way, tomorrow is the heroine's mother's death anniversary. It would be too much for the tyrant to keep her in the palace any longer.]
[I don't know if the third brother can make it back to accompany the heroine, oh no.]
The emperor had not originally intended to keep Mu Xue in the palace forever.
The main concern was that Prince Yueqing would become suspicious.
He and Mu Xue left the room and asked someone to escort Mu Xue out of the palace.
Mu Xue got on the carriage and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw Marquis Qingyuan pacing anxiously at the door.
"Dad," Mu Xue walked up to him and called softly, "What are you doing here?"
Marquis Qingyuan looked at Mu Xue and saw that she looked fine, so he relaxed.
"Xue'er, where have you been running to?"
Mu Xue supported him as they walked towards the mansion, and said softly, "Dad, you're probably worried that I'll sneak off to see Mom again. I just had something else to do, so I went out for a while."
Anything else?
Could it be the Third Prince? But he remembered that the Third Prince went to Changshan?
"Did the Third Prince send you back?"
Marquis Qingyuan walked to the main hall and asked tentatively.
Seeing the surprise on Mu Xue's face, he snorted coldly, "He climbed over the wall to your house in the middle of the night before. Do you think I don't know?"
He is not young anymore, but he is not deaf yet. If he hadn't turned a blind eye, would the Third Prince have been able to come in so easily?
"Dad, the third prince just came to give me something." Mu Xue explained in a low voice.
"What has to be delivered over the wall at night? It's not something that is shameful."
Marquis Qingyuan felt very uncomfortable when he saw his daughter defending the third prince.
Why did he have to choose the third prince? Among all the princes, he disliked the third prince the most.
I’m afraid that if the emperor knew that his daughter liked the third prince, he would probably laugh his head off.
He had previously submitted many memorials impeaching the Third Prince for his dissolute behavior, but now, looking at his daughter's expression, she would probably agree to marry the Third Prince as soon as he opened his mouth.
Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up.
"Dad, just some simple things."
Mu Xue poured a cup of tea for Qingyuan Hou.
"Hmph," Marquis Qingyuan took the tea, "you're already protecting me before I even said anything. If he really likes you, he should accompany you to meet your mother tomorrow, and also ask if he has any other beautiful women in his family."
Mu Xue was a little amused and helpless, she knew that her father was doing this for her own good.
But the Third Prince is in Changshan County now, so how could he possibly show up to accompany her to visit her mother?
…
The third prince mentioned by the two people is now desperately rushing to the capital.
Ziyang looked at the horse that fell exhausted to the ground.
"Your Highness, this is the first horse you have ridden. You should take a rest first."
I really don’t know what’s wrong with His Highness. He has just arrived in Changshan County and is already rushing back in a hurry. Isn’t this a joke?
General Jin is really something. Not only did he not help to persuade His Highness, he also allowed him to act recklessly.
The Third Prince looked at the sky and said, "Let's continue on our journey, otherwise we won't reach the capital by tomorrow morning."
He had to accompany Mu Xue to see her mother, and if he went too late he would probably miss it.
He wasn't able to be with her when she was a child and she had to endure so much alone. Now he won't let her bear it alone anymore.
Zi Yang sighed and handed the water bag to the Third Prince, "But the horse is dead, how can we continue our journey?"
The third prince took the water bag and took a sip, then tightened it and looked down at Zi Yang's legs.
Ziyang took a step back and said quickly, "Your Highness, you don't want me to carry you, do you?"
It would be no problem for him to carry the girl, but it is definitely not possible for him to carry His Highness, as his small body cannot bear it.
"I want you to use Qinggong to speed up your journey," the Third Brother threw the water bag to him, "Hurry up, don't lose me later."
After the two of them hurried and hurried, they finally arrived at Qingyuan Hou Mansion on the second day.
Looking at the closed door, the third prince frowned.
Are we still a step too late?
"Your Highness, don't tell me you rushed back in such a hurry just to see the princess?"
Zi Yang sighed inwardly as he looked at the Third Prince who looked a little disheveled due to his haste on the road.
It turns out that His Highness is crazy because of the princess, but is he fit to meet the princess in such a miserable state?
"You go back to the palace to see your father first," the third prince said, and left quickly. He disappeared without even waiting for Zi Yang to speak.
"No," Zi Yang looked at the place where the third prince disappeared, feeling a little aggrieved. His Highness was happy to see the princess, but he couldn't let him go to see the emperor and bear the emperor's anger alone.
…
Mu Xue and Qingyuan Hou have arrived at the place where Qingyuan Hou's wife is buried.
Marquis Qingyuan placed the flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone of his wife, and raised his hand to stroke the words "beloved wife" on the tombstone.
"Xue'er and I came to see you and brought your favorite snacks and flowers."
So many years have passed, and although Qingyuan Hou felt sad, he didn't want to show too much sadness because of Mu Xue's presence.
He didn't want his daughter to cry with him and hurt her eyes.
"Mom, your daughter is here to see you."
Mu Xue walked to the side of Qingyuan Hou and knelt down, "My daughter is unfilial. Back then..."
"Princess."
The third prince, breathing a little hurriedly, stood between two trees and looked at Mu Xue.
Mu Xue heard a familiar voice and thought she had misheard.
She slowly turned around and looked back at the Third Prince who was standing not far away.
He was still wearing a purple brocade robe. The sunlight shining through the leaves hit his slightly messy hair, allowing Mu Xue to see the fatigue on his charming face more clearly.
"Your Highness," Mu Xue recovered from her surprise, "Why are you here?"
Shouldn't he be in Changshan?
Could it be that he came back just for me? But how did he know where my mother was buried?
The Third Prince slowly walked to the side of Mu Xue and Qingyuan Hou, nodded and greeted Qingyuan Hou before saying:
"Today is your mother's death anniversary. I hope to be with you so that you don't feel so sad."
Marquis Qingyuan glanced at the third prince. He was quite talkative, no wonder he could deceive his daughter.
But it’s a good thing to have him accompany Xue’er.
"But does the Emperor know that His Highness has returned to the capital?"
Mu Xue was a little worried.
"Don't worry, Princess." The Third Prince walked to the tombstone of the Marquis of Qingyuan's wife. "Hello, I am the Third Prince. Thank you for giving birth to such a wonderful daughter. Don't worry, I will protect her well and stay with her so that she won't be sad."
Mu Xue stepped forward and tugged at the Third Prince's sleeve. How could the Third Prince speak nonsense in front of his mother?
What's more, Dad is here.
"Xue'er, talk to your mother."
Marquis Qingyuan winked at the third prince, signaling him to talk aside.
The Third Prince followed the Marquis of Qingyuan to the side, "My Lord."
Marquis Qingyuan stared at the Third Prince with a cold expression, "If the Third Prince wants to make fun of Xue'er, then..."
"My Lord," the Third Prince interrupted him, "I am serious. I have absolutely no intention of making fun of the princess."
"Everyone can say nice things," Qingyuan Hou looked in Mu Xue's direction, "it depends on your performance. If you can make Xue'er happy, I won't be the one to break up a couple."
