Chapter 219: The Princess Shows Good Will
Princess Mingzhu shook her head helplessly. She knew that it was impossible for her mother to change. Now all she could do was to appease Jing Yao and Lin Xiaoyue. If the two sides started quarreling, it would be difficult for her to survive!
After leaving the room, Princess Mingzhu turned and went to the kitchen. Coincidentally, Liang Jingyao was also talking to Lin Xiaoyue in the kitchen at that time.
Liang Jingyao spoke immediately when he saw Princess Mingzhu come in, but he just stood there awkwardly and greeted her, "The Princess is here."
Princess Mingzhu nodded and said, "I know what you are talking about, Jingyao. Don't blame the Queen Mother. She sits in that position and sometimes she can't help herself. But as for you and Yue'er, as long as you insist, no one can force you!"
Liang Jingyao showed a grateful smile on his face and said, "Thank you, Princess!"
Lin Xiaoyue was already overwhelmed by this matter. She said, "Princess, are you troubled by the matter between me and Brother Liang? The Queen Mother is actually overthinking it. Brother Liang is not the current Emperor Liang. He was willing to risk his life to enter the palace to save the Queen Mother, which shows that he is not an ungrateful person. So there is no need for her to use that marriage to bind the two of them. Forcing it will only make more people suffer."
Princess Mingzhu looked at Lin Xiaoyue with admiration. She just liked Lin Xiaoyue's character and intelligence. Being born in a lower class was not a disadvantage. Maybe it would be an advantage for Jingyao. After all, her mother's family had no power and could not influence the court.
"You're right! I will persuade the Queen Mother. Her body can no longer withstand the tossing and turning. Some things should have been let go long ago!" Princess Mingzhu caressed Lin Xiaoyue's long black hair lovingly.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded. The first time the drunkard came back from taking the empress dowager's pulse, he told herself that he would do his best to let the empress dowager live a few more years. This meant that the empress dowager would not live for many more years!
The more she struggles, the sooner she will report to the underworld. By then, it will only make Brother Liang feel disgusted and disgusted with the Yan family!
But what does this have to do with me? If Princess Mingzhu wasn't a reasonable person, I would have scolded that damn old woman to death long ago!
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Princess!"
Princess Mingzhu felt that this matter made everyone very embarrassed. She had finally managed to ease the relationship with Liang Jingyao, but now it had become tense again. She was angry and helpless towards her mother!
"Okay, I should go back to accompany my mother. Jingyao, be careful out there! Don't worry about these things. I will help you persuade my mother." Princess Mingzhu said embarrassedly.
Liang Jingyao was originally still angry, but because Princess Mingzhu spoke in a humble manner, his mood eased a lot. Besides, he might have to rely on the princess in the future for his relationship with Lin Xiaoyue, so he didn't want to make things so awkward.
He shook his head and said, "It's alright. The late emperor and my father are brothers, and they have a deep bond. How could I be angry with the Queen Mother over such a small matter? I'll have to trouble the Princess for this matter."
Princess Mingzhu saw that Liang Jingyao's expression relaxed again, and she felt relieved.
"Okay, that's no problem. I'll go back to the house first. Yue'er, call me anytime if you need help!" Princess Mingzhu patted Lin Xiaoyue's shoulder affectionately.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
After Princess Mingzhu left, it was time for Liang Jingyao to return to the city gate.
Liang Jingyao took Lin Xiaoyue's hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged! Don't worry, I will definitely welcome you home with a grand ceremony and a phoenix crown and a gorgeous bridal gown in the future!"
Lin Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows and said, "You're too optimistic! Let's talk about the future later. I don't want to think about it now!"
Liang Jingyao was not angry at all. He knew that Lin Xiaoyue had always been indifferent and calm, but as long as he was in danger, she would rush to save him at all costs!
I will never miss such a good girl!
"Well, you're right! I will consider everything for you, you just have to wait for me to marry you!" Liang Jingyao looked at Lin Xiaoyue confidently, his eyes shining, as if everything was under his control.
Lin Xiaoyue was so excited for a moment that she felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat!
But she quickly regained control of her emotions, turned around, and said, "Is Emperor Liang dead? Has your father returned safely? We can't even leave the gates of Yangming Town right now. What's the point of you painting such a grand pie for me? Let's talk about it later!"
Liang Jingyao took a deep breath and said, "You're right, but I can definitely prove that what I said today wasn't empty talk. I'm a gentleman of my word, and I can't go back on my word! I'm leaving first. If you have anything to do with the Queen Mother, please let Zhan Ying go. Your own happiness is the most important thing!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "I know."
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to say more, Liang Jingyao turned and left.
At this time, only Lin Xiaoyue and Chen Yunyun were left in the kitchen.
Lin Xiaoyue started preparing the ingredients because Liang Jingyao wanted to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Since there were many people in the yard, no matter what ingredients were prepared, they would have to feed thirty people.
"Yunyun, you can wash all these." Lin Xiaoyue put abalone, sea cucumber, shiitake mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms and other ingredients into the wooden barrel.
Chen Yunyun picked up the wooden barrel and said, "Want to go for a walk together? The tofu is already pressed, so why are you sitting in the kitchen with nothing to do?"
Lin Xiaoyue glared at Chen Yunyun with amusement and said, "You are making fun of me too, let's go!"
Chen Yunyun walked out of the bamboo courtyard with a smile, carrying a wooden bucket in one hand and holding Lin Xiaoyue's arm in the other.
By the river, Chen Yunyun squatted down, rolled up her sleeves, and began to wash the ingredients. "Sister Lin, if you feel unhappy, we can go home. Don't worry about the Queen Mother or the Princess."
Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to go back, at least not yet. As long as Emperor Liang died, she would no longer have to wear a human skin mask to meet people. So this was one of the reasons why she was willing to help Liang Jingyao. Another reason was that Liang Jingyao had given her a lot of help and a lot of money. By cooperating with him, she could also publish books, open a restaurant, and easily achieve financial freedom.
"I know. Thank you, Yunyun! You and your godfather and godmother are my support. I still want to work harder to find a good husband for you so that your godfather and godmother can live a good life." Lin Xiaoyue sat on a big rock, picked up a branch and scratched on the ground.
Chen Yunyun said helplessly, "Sister Lin, you don't have to be like this. I'm already that old, so the worst that can happen is I won't get married. My parents are old, and they don't expect a rich life. As long as the two of us are happy, that's all that matters. So, you have to make yourself happy and don't let yourself down!"
