Jiang Muyu ordered the maids in the mansion to clean up the courtyard where Jiang Muxue had lived before, and then let Nanxing move in.
Nanxing came with nothing in her hands, so naturally there was nothing she needed to move. She just took the clothes that Yunyan bought for her today and left.
At night, Jiang Muyu took a shower, dried her hair, and went to Tangtang's bedroom.
Liang Qingchen was injured, so it was inconvenient for her to sleep with him.
Tangtang felt strange when she saw her, "Why is mom here?"
Jiang Muyu asked, "Mom, can you sleep with Tangtang tonight?"
"Daddy is not at home, is mom afraid to sleep alone?"
She looked away and smiled awkwardly, "Yes, yes."
In order to allay Tangtang's concerns, she said that Liang Qingchen was out on errands. She felt guilty for lying again and again in front of her daughter.
Let’s wait for another day. We’ll talk about it the day after tomorrow. Liang Qingchen caught a cold outside and needs to stay in bed to recuperate.
Tangtang said: "Mom is so timid, I am not afraid even when I sleep alone."
"Yes, Tangtang is really brave. I am ashamed of myself."
After hearing this, Tangtang's desire to protect her exploded. She patted the inside of the bed and said, "Then mother can sleep inside. Tangtang will protect you."
How come this three-year-old suddenly develops the aura of a domineering president?
Jiang Muyu was amused. He walked over, picked her up, put her on his lap, kissed her face, and said, "Our Tangtang has the potential to be a heroine."
"I don't want to be a heroine."
"Oh? So what does Tangtang want to be?"
Tangtang thought about it and said, "I want to be a female bandit!"
"Uh..." Jiang Muyu hadn't expected this. "Why?"
"Being a female gangster means you can bring the best looking man home!"
Jiang Muyu: “…”
She really couldn't understand the child's train of thought. Logically, Tangtang was surrounded by handsome men, so she should be tired of aesthetics. Why did she still like handsome guys?
The mother and daughter played for a while, Jiang Muyu told Tangtang a bedtime story, and then went to sleep.
The next morning, Jiang Muyu washed up in Tangtang's house before going back to the main house. She was just about to check on Liang Qingchen's situation when she met his unhappy eyes as soon as she entered the house.
"Huh?" Jiang Muyu felt puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"You actually left a wounded person alone in an empty room!"
That's it?
Jiang Muyu rolled her eyes in an indecent manner, "Isn't it enough that I have been guarding you for a whole day and a whole night? Do you really think I am a robot that can take care of you for free 24 hours a day? Don't I need to rest?"
Liang Qingchen was a little confused. "I didn't say that you can't rest. Can't you rest next to me?"
"I'm just afraid of bumping into you. You're wrapped up like a mummy."
"mummy?"
"I can't explain it to you, just take it as a compliment." Jiang Muyu was too lazy to explain and turned around to bring in the porridge.
Liang Qingchen frowned, "Why is it porridge again?"
"You are in no condition to eat anything else. At least there are some minced meat in here, look." As she said this, she scooped a spoonful of porridge and handed it to his mouth.
Liang Qingchen opened his mouth and ate it subconsciously.
Jiang Muyu looked at his frustrated expression and coaxed him softly, "My dear prince, I am sick now. When you recover, I will cook a delicious meal for you."
"You said so."
"Yes, I did."
Liang Qingchen's complexion improved and he ate the tasteless porridge obediently.
After feeding him breakfast, Jiang Muyu said, "Tangtang doesn't know you're injured yet. I told her you were out on business."
Liang Qingchen said, "It's better if she doesn't know about it for now. She's just a three-year-old baby and can't help much. It will just make her feel more uneasy."
"Yeah, I think so." She said seriously, "I'm going to the palace today."
Liang Qingchen nodded, "Xu Lang has already told me that you should be careful when you enter the palace. Don't be too hard on yourself when you meet those tough guys. If they say something to you, just say it back."
"Are you... not afraid that if I offend someone, it will implicate you?"
"What are you afraid of? You are my princess. If anything goes wrong, I will protect you."
Jiang Muyu was touched and nodded, "I understand. I will be careful."
…
After breakfast, Jiang Muyu tidied herself up, combed her hair into a dignified bun, changed into the princess's clothes, and entered the palace.
Eunuch Wang, who was beside the Queen Mother, came over personally to greet her.
"The Queen Mother has been looking forward to your coming since early morning, and finally she has arrived."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Muyu straightened his back subconsciously. As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, the first "cold arrow" flew over.
She said, "I came according to the time in the invitation. I am not late, am I?"
Eunuch Wang's eyes darkened, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. "Of course not. Your Majesty came at the perfect time."
Jiang Muyu smiled and said, "There have been many things to do in the palace recently, so I have been busy and have not been able to come to the palace to see the Queen Mother. Is she angry with me?"
"You are the only one in charge of the Rui Palace, Princess. You are in charge of the royal family and the daily life of the prince and the princess. The queen mother can understand that you are too busy to have time."
"I knew that the Queen Mother was always kind and could understand me as her daughter-in-law."
“Yes, yes.”
Eunuch Wang glanced at Jiang Muyu secretly. Somehow, he always felt that the current princess was different from before. She spoke in a very coherent way and it was hard to find fault with her.
It took them an incense stick's time to reach the Ningshou Palace where the Empress Dowager lived. After a young eunuch reported the matter, Eunuch Wang led her in.
When we entered the main hall, we saw the Queen Mother sitting on the chair at the top.
The Queen Mother was almost fifty years old, but because of her good maintenance over the years, she did not look old. There were some fine wrinkles on her face, but her skin was still white and elastic. She was dressed in luxurious clothes and wore a golden phoenix hairpin on her head. Her aura was even more breathtaking.
She was worthy of being the emperor's mother. She was completely different from the old ladies dancing in the square that she saw. This was the temperament that only someone in a high position and living a life of luxury could possess.
Jiang Muyu knelt down and saluted, "Your servant Jiang has met the Queen Mother."
"Stand up." The Queen Mother raised her hand, "Give me a seat."
Immediately, a palace maid brought a pear wood chair.
Jiang Muyu just felt flattered. In the original owner's memory, the empress dowager didn't think much of this daughter-in-law. Normally, when she entered the palace, she was not even bothered to put on a good face, let alone be given a seat. What the hell happened today?
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Jiang Muyu sat down on the chair.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's been a while since we last met. Princess Rui seems to be getting more and more radiant."
"Your Majesty, I am flattered. I just had a good appetite recently and ate a little more."
"You should eat more. You are so skinny. You haven't gained any weight even after giving birth to two children."
Jiang Muyu was feeling very nervous at the moment. The Queen Mother was definitely not just concerned about her health when she was flirting with her like this, but she couldn't guess what the Queen Mother wanted to do.
I could only continue to smile and reply, "I was born weak and it's not easy for me to gain weight."
The Queen Mother ordered the maid to serve tea, "This is the Biluochun tea that just arrived a while ago, please try it."
"Yes." She took the teacup from the maid, opened the lid, brought it to her lips and took a sip.
The Queen Mother chatted with her for a few more words before suddenly changing the subject and asking, "How long have you and Prince Rui been married?"
"It has been nine years since I returned to your Majesty."
"Oh, it's been a long time." The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said, "Prince Rui is in his prime, and you are the only one by his side. I didn't mention it a few years ago because I was considerate of you giving birth to two children. Now that so many years have passed, the palace has become a little sparsely populated."
After hearing this, what else did Jiang Muyu not understand?
She remained calm and said gently, "I cannot make the decision on this matter. It depends on your opinion."
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "You are the head mistress of the Rui Palace. It is your duty to have children for your husband. How can you not make the decision?"
"Empress Dowager, the prince is your biological son. You should know his character better than I do. If I were not the wife given to him by the late emperor, he would probably not have married yet."
Jiang Muyu was confident enough about this point, because even though the original owner didn't like Liang Qingchen and was so cold to him, he still didn't go out and mess around with other girls. In addition, during this period of time, he also got to know him better and it can be seen that Liang Qingchen is not very interested in matters of love.
The Queen Mother put down her teacup heavily and said, "This matter is not up to him."
Jiang Muyusi was not shocked at all and continued to smile gently, "I'm afraid this matter is beyond my control. You should discuss it directly with him."
