Qiao Yuange opened her mouth but said nothing. She couldn't say that the emperor wanted her to be the queen, and would put her under house arrest if she refused, right?
It seems a bit Versailles to say this.
"It's not that... the emperor doesn't like me..." Qiao Yuange lowered her head. Before the old nanny could continue to ask, a maid hurried in. She first glanced at Qiao Yuange with an obvious compliment, and then said to the old nanny: "Old nanny, someone wants to see Miss Qiao."
The head nanny and Qiao Yuange were both stunned.
Qiao Yuange's first reaction was naturally the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother had really screwed Qiao Yuange over in the past two days.
So the head nanny stood in front of Qiao Yuange and said to the maid, "Who wants to see Qiao Yuange?"
The maidservant also said nervously: "It is said that she is a relative. She is already waiting outside the palace gate!"
Qiao Yuange thought to himself that his own family had become like that, and yet he still had relatives?
However, being in a foreign land, Qiao Yuange would be really happy if there were really relatives who could recognize him.
So she nodded to the head nanny and followed the maid out.
After passing through a row of low houses, we were approaching the outside of the imperial palace.
This row of small houses is nicely decorated and is obviously used for receiving guests.
The maid took Qiao Yuange to one of the reception rooms. As soon as they opened the door, they saw a woman sitting on a chair with another woman standing next to her.
When Qiao Yuange took a look, he realized, isn’t this Fang Yuan?
As for the woman sitting next to him, Qiao Yuange glanced over and found that it was Fang Yuan's mother! In other words, his second aunt!
It was not easy for Qiao Yuange to recognize her, after all, she hadn't seen her second aunt for a long time.
The second aunt was wearing extremely clean clothes made of expensive material, but even so, one could see that the clothes were a little loose.
She looks basically the same as Fang Yuan, except that her face shows slight signs of aging.
When Fang Yuan saw Qiao Yuange coming in a hurry, she became very unhappy and rolled her eyes, obviously looking down on her.
I don’t know what kind of luck Qiao Yuange has recently to be so close to the emperor?
That would be fine, but now there are rumors in the harem that the emperor is going to marry Qiao Yuange as his queen!
Why? I just want to ask why.
She, Qiao Yuange, is just a maid. Even though Fang Yuan is of humble status, she is still the daughter of an official after all, and can be considered a young lady. Isn't she better than Qiao Yuange?
But now she is under someone's roof and has to bow her head. She has to ask Qiao Yuange for help and has to reluctantly cater to him.
The second aunt came over and grabbed Qiao Yuange's hand. She said to Qiao Yuange with tears and snot, "Yuange, my Yuange has grown so big. Let me take a good look at him!"
Qiao Yuange immediately pulled his hand out, shook it coldly and said to her: "Aunt? How are you? As the saying goes, if you are poor, no one will care about you, but if you are rich, you will have distant relatives even if you live in the mountains."
"Did Auntie hear some news, so she came to see me?"
Qiao Yuange actually said this directly. Her aunt's face changed. She was about to explode with anger, but she held back and said to Qiao Yuange: "What are you talking about? I am your aunt, why can't I come to see you?"
Qiao Yuange said impatiently: "Aunt, if you have something to say, then tell me. If not, then we shouldn't meet, okay?"
Her aunt was already holding back her anger, and when she saw Qiao Yuange ordering them to leave, she became even angrier. She immediately stood up and was about to reach out her hand to point at Qiao Yuange's nose, but Fang Yuan suppressed her and gave her a look.
They came here for a good purpose this time!
So the second aunt calmed down, changed her expression and said, "Yuan Ge, you know that your sister will soon enter the palace. She could have been the first wife of the eldest prince, but who would have thought that the eldest prince planned to keep things simple..."
When Second Auntie got to this point, she suddenly paused, as if she didn't know how to continue. After all, it was a bit embarrassing...
Qiao Yuange stood there with his hands behind his back.
Obviously, Qiao Yuange's attitude towards his second aunt at this time was just one thing: he wanted to see what else this woman could say.
Second Aunt saw Qiao Yuange didn't say anything, although she felt a little embarrassed, she still coughed lightly and said to Qiao Yuange: "I heard that you have some say in the emperor's place now, can you see if you can ask the emperor to talk to His Highness? After all, Fang Yuan is His Highness's legal wife anyway, isn't it a bit inappropriate to marry her so hastily?"
Although Fang Yuan had actually wanted to express these demands at this time, she was always embarrassed to give up her dignity because the person in front of her was Qiao Yuange.
Second Aunt reached out and pushed Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan changed her expression to a relatively calm one: "Yes, sister, you also know that our Qiao family is not having an easy time right now. If you can help, maybe the situation will be better."
Qiao Yuange then changed his posture, forgetting all the grievances he had suffered from the emperor before, and instead asked curiously: "Sister and aunt, what are you thinking? Why do you say such things in front of me? Don't you have any shame? Have you forgotten how you bullied me before?"
Qiao Yuange didn't even give Second Aunt and Fang Yuan a chance to refute, and continued, "When I was at your house before, how did you treat me? You made me do the work of a servant, and you, Fang Yuan, treated me like a fool, and even all the children targeted me. Have you forgotten all these things, or are you pretending that you don't remember anything?"
Second Aunt wanted to say something, but saw that Qiao Yuange hadn't finished complaining yet!
She glanced at her second aunt with disdain and said to her, "Second aunt, I have something I want to ask you. When the late emperor was alive, he once looked for the orphans of my father-in-law's family and wanted to find my father-in-law's descendants, that is, me. They obviously found you, so why am I still a maid in your family?"
When Qiao Yuange asked all these questions without even taking a breath, the expression on Second Aunt's face changed from flattery to unbearable. She didn't even know how to express her current expression. Her face was full of embarrassment.
She stared at Qiao Yuange. She knew clearly that she had no chance of winning against Qiao Yuange, but she still wanted to see Qiao Yuange. What was this little girl thinking? How could she remember all the previous feelings?
"You...why are you so petty?"
