Chapter 393 Extra: The Best Queen Mother
It was the first time that Xie Lin saw such a cold and fierce aura in Jun Qingyan.
They had known each other for half a year, from February to August. Others said that the princess was not easy to mess with, but the so-called "not easy to mess with" was only directed at outsiders. She was very kind to everyone around her and never deliberately put on airs.
He had seen her lively, bright, straightforward and outspoken many times. Not long ago in the flower field, when she said to him, "A hero is not judged by his origin" and "You will achieve great things in the future," he was deeply touched. For a moment, he even felt that the distance between him, an unknown person, and the princess was not so far away.
But at this moment, Jun Qingyan's indifferent attitude forced him to face reality - his hesitation and retreat just now had already caused a big mistake, and they could never go back to the past.
The two-year plan designed by the King of Side by Side was terminated prematurely by the princess half a year later.
"Princess, now that things have come to this, I admit my mistake." Xie Lin lowered his head, "I did deceive you, but please believe me, I did not deceive you intentionally."
Jun Qingyan's expression remained indifferent. "Then tell the truth. If you dare to lie, you know the consequences."
…
There was a faint scent of cinnamon twigs floating in the Changle Palace.
Song Yunchu was concentrating on reading a popular book when he suddenly heard a burst of quick footsteps coming from the front.
Song Yunchu raised his eyes and saw Li Zongguan running up to him, his face somewhat anxious. "Your Highness, the guards around the princess came to deliver a message saying that your plan has been exposed."
Song Yunchu was surprised, and then said: "Let him come in and answer!"
The guard quickly entered the hall and told Song Yunchu everything that had happened in Liudan Pavilion.
"Your Highness, Xie Lin could not bear the princess's questioning and has already given you away. The princess will surely come to see you soon."
"I understand, please step down."
After the guards left, Song Yunchu held his chin with one hand and sighed softly, "Alas, I was exposed so soon..."
"Why, do you really think Xie Lin can deceive Yan'er for two years?"
A leisurely voice sounded beside him. Song Yunchu turned around and saw Jun Liluo handing him a cup of tea. "Have a cup of jasmine tea and calm your mind."
"I'm not worried..." Although Song Yunchu said this, he still took the tea handed to him by Jun Liluo.
She had been secretly guiding Xie Lin's performance over the past six months, and Yan'er seemed to have always had a good impression of Xie Lin. Why did she have the idea of testing Xie Lin?
Could it be that Xie Lin accidentally revealed a flaw at some point?
But no matter what, she was still very pleased that Yan'er was so smart.
As for whether Yan Er would blame her...
No matter how strange it is, she must explain the reason to Yan'er so that Yan'er can understand her painstaking efforts.
There are too many people who want to deceive young girls these days, especially since Yan'er's status is so prominent. Who knows how many people will line up to deceive her in the future. You never know when she will meet a tall, handsome, talented, gentlemanly man on the surface but with evil intentions and a lot of lies.
There are many people who appear all show and no substance but are rotten inside. Young girls should learn to judge them early, so as to avoid suffering great losses in the future due to the failure to judge people properly.
"It doesn't matter if Yan'er is really angry." Jun Liluo's comforting voice sounded beside him again, "At worst, I can take the blame for you and say that I arranged it. Let her get angry and take it out on me."
"Come on, I did it myself, I will take care of it myself." Song Yunchu finished the whole cup of jasmine tea and said leisurely, "At worst I can just throw a tantrum and act pitiful."
As soon as Song Yunchu finished speaking, he saw Li Zongguan running in from outside the palace again, "Your Highness, the princess is here!"
Although Song Yunchu had already prepared a speech in his mind, he still felt inexplicably nervous at this moment.
It was really embarrassing to be caught lying to her own child. Although it was bound to be discovered sooner or later, reality deviated from the plan and she didn't even have time to prepare a gift.
She needs to think carefully about what to give Yan'er later.
"Little Li, go ask the imperial kitchen to prepare iced milk tea, as well as osmanthus jelly cakes, rose cakes, and jujube flower cakes. Go quickly!"
Jun Qingyan soon arrived at the bedroom.
Song Yunchu pretended to be calm and picked up the cup in front of him to drink tea, but found that the cup was empty.
Jun Liluo handed over his cup silently.
Whenever Yun Chu felt embarrassed, he would find something to do. Usually, he would eat whatever was in front of him. If he had nothing to eat or drink, he would pretend to read a book.
"Father, I have something to say to you, would you like to go for a walk first?"
After hearing Jun Qingyan's words, Jun Liluo could only stand up and leave. As he left, he gave Song Yunchu an encouraging look.
When there were only two people left in the bedroom, Song Yunchu laughed dryly and said, "Why is Yan'er here..."
Jun Qingyan walked over to Song Yunchu and sat down. Just as Song Yunchu was wondering what her daughter would say, she saw Jun Qingyan turn her body to the side and put her head on her knees.
“The greatest love in the world is the love of parents.”
Jun Qingyan murmured, "I know that my mother is the best person to me in the world."
Song Yunchu had already thought about how to comfort Jun Qingyan, but she didn't expect Jun Qingyan to not be at all awkward. Instead, he behaved intimately with her as soon as he came.
This made her feel much more relaxed. She raised her hand and stroked Jun Qingyan's head, and said softly, "Don't you blame the Queen Mother for setting a trap for you?"
Song Yunchu always speaks frankly to his children, and teaches them to be good at communication when encountering problems, and not to hide their thoughts in front of their parents to avoid unnecessary estrangement.
"Your trap is to make me understand that human hearts are unpredictable and to make me not trust outsiders easily. It is not to play a trick on me. I can learn some truths from it, which is also my gain. If I blame you for it, wouldn't I be a fool?"
"My life, wealth, and status were all given to me by my mother. If it weren't for my mother, how could I have come to this world and enjoy the benefits of being a royal child?"
Jun Qingyan was well aware of how good his life was.
Anyone in this world can be dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, except her and Jun Jinyi.
The scam designed by the Queen Mother was ultimately for her future. There was nothing to worry about.
"I remember being able to hear your inner voice when you were young. We all knew who you had a good relationship with and who you disliked. Your life was smooth, not only because you were strong, but also because you were good at identifying and employing people. Among those you trusted, some were gentle and steady, some had hot tempers, and some were not well-educated and not very articulate, but without exception, they were all sincere and brave."
Jun Qingyan said, raising the corner of his mouth, "So I made up my mind a long time ago. I also want to learn from my mother's ability to judge people. Whether a person should be a close friend or not cannot be determined by just looking at the appearance."
"I have known Xie Lin for half a year. He looks good, has good kung fu, and performs well, so I gave him a chance and made him our playmate, so that those who used to bully him dare not mess with him again. He is very grateful to me, and I can see his admiration for him. If you ask me how I feel about him, I have some affection for him, but I can't say I trust him. After all, you once said that we should always be on guard against outsiders."
"Last month, when we encountered a poisonous snake in the flower field, Xie Lin pushed me away. At that moment, I was touched, but after careful consideration, although his behavior was brave, it was not very risky. After all, Xiaoyue is the daughter of a miracle doctor. Besides, why did the snake attack me? Was it a coincidence or was it man-made? I'm not sure. Maybe I shouldn't speculate about him without any basis. But since he dared to say so many nice things in front of me, I have the right to test him."
“I really want to know, if the scenario is changed and I am in danger again, will he still be as brave as the day he encountered the snake?”
Song Yunchu smiled and continued, "So you set up a trap yourself, letting him make a choice without any preparation. Encountering a snake and going into a state of obsession were both unexpected events, but he was willing to risk his life for the former, but backed off for the latter. You realized that he was saying one thing and doing another, so you began to doubt his motives, suspecting that he had bad intentions from the beginning."
"Yes, Xiaoyue was extremely anxious when she saw me going crazy, and repeatedly urged Xie Lin to come and subdue me, but he just didn't dare. This shows how unreliable a man's promise is. After that, I began to wonder whether he was simply trying to get close to me, or was he being instructed by someone to achieve a more sinister purpose? Unexpectedly, the person behind the scenes was actually you, the Queen Mother..."
Jun Qingyan turned over and rested her head on Song Yunchu's knees. "It's okay if it's you. If it was someone sent by an outsider, I would have to reflect on myself. How could I have been deceived for half a year? If it was you, I wouldn't feel frustrated. After all, you know me best. It's normal for someone you personally guide to arouse my interest."
