Chapter 22 The Princess Is Too Arrogant 9
"That's not what I meant."
Cui Mingyu's expression was not very good at this moment, not because Yun Jing brought Xin'er, but because of Yun Jing's protective words.
She glanced at Qiu Chi, who had become completely different from before, and just wanted to ask Yun Jing for clarification. She gave Yun Jing a look and said, "I'm a little tired after returning from the palace, so I won't stay here with you."
After Cui Mingyu left, Yun Jing couldn't sit still for a while: "This prince is also a little tired."
The Prime Minister said: "I have already prepared the room. I will take His Majesty there to rest."
Xin'er naturally wanted to go along, and Qiuchi also stood up, but was stopped by the Prime Minister's wife: "Yueyue, you stay. Mother has something to say to you alone."
"You can't just say it directly, but you have to say it to my face?"
The Prime Minister's wife laughed and said, "These are all private matters from when you were a girl. How can you talk about them directly?"
Qiu Chi sat back down and watched the Prime Minister and Yun Jing leave before turning to the Prime Minister's wife. "If you have anything to say, just say it now. Don't waste my time."
The Prime Minister's wife's smile faded a little. After looking at Qiu Chi for a long while, she said, "Yueyue, you've become different from before."
"There's no one else here, so you don't have to put on airs in front of me. As for this change, if you had experienced your husband leaving you aside to marry another woman, you would have changed too."
This matter is really shocking when it is brought up.
The Prime Minister's wife was silent for a moment, and didn't say whether she believed it or not. "But the rumor is that you ruined the wedding that day, didn't you?"
"So? If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush. Understand?"
The Prime Minister's wife couldn't help but frown, her face slightly gloomy: "No matter what, I am your mother. Do you think that just because you married Prince Jing and became his consort, you can be so arrogant?"
"Even if I hadn't married Prince Jing and wasn't his consort, I could still be arrogant. The previous Cui Yueyue is dead. If you kept me here just to control me, then you're making a mistake."
After saying that, Qiu Chi picked up the teacup beside him. After all, he did not show his martial arts skills in front of the Prime Minister's wife. Instead, he took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and stood up: "If you don't tell me what happened, I'll leave."
The Prime Minister's wife had no intention of looking for Qiu Chi, she just wanted to take advantage of her.
Now that Qiu Chi had pointed it out, and considering her attitude, the Prime Minister's wife knew that she couldn't control her.
As she walked out, he asked, "Do you really think you've kept your lover a secret? Now that you're married to King Jing, have you truly forgotten him? Do you just stop caring about him?"
"So you want to threaten me, so do as you please."
Qiu Chi walked out without stopping and headed straight towards the courtyard that the Prime Minister had prepared for Yun Jing.
As for the affairs of Cui Yueyue's lover, even if Yun Jing did not intervene, with the Prime Minister around, his future would not be much better. It was just that Yun Jing took action, directly cut off his hopes, and drove him out of the capital.
If she wanted him to have a good future, Yun Jing had to take over. Even if Yun Jing didn't want to, she had ways to make him want to.
However, why should she seek benefits for Cui Yueyue's lover?
Maybe it was so that Cui Yueyue could thank her properly?
In the yard, Yun Jing, who was said to be tired, was not there.
Xin'er, who was originally sitting, stood up immediately when she saw Qiu Chi. After bowing respectfully, she whispered, "Your Highness, Your Highness has gone out with the Prime Minister..."
"Yeah, I know."
Yun Jing came here just to see Cui Mingyu, she just brought Xin'er with her as a buffer.
In the Prime Minister's study, the Prime Minister was waiting outside, and inside were Yun Jing and Cui Mingyu.
Cui Mingyu remained silent, but his eyes were a little red.
Yun Jing also remained silent. Firstly, the two of them had not been alone together for a long time, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Second, Qiu Chi told him to be colder towards Cui Mingyu.
Obviously Qiu Chi was not there at the moment, but Yun Jing still did what Qiu Chi said. He didn't understand why he, a prince, listened to Qiu Chi so much and indulged her so much.
He must be afraid of her strength.
Yun Jing remained silent for a long time. Cui Mingyu gritted her teeth and could only initiate the conversation: "Do you still miss me?"
What Cui Mingyu actually wanted to ask was, have you fallen in love with someone else?
However, this sentence was too sharp and direct. Even if Yun Jing liked her, he was a prince and she was now a royal concubine. Yun Jing might not give her a good face after asking this question.
So she asked in a more tactful way.
But Yun Jing still didn't look happy. He didn't show any expression of pity or sympathy. He just said expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter if I miss you or not. You are my brother's woman now. Just because I miss you, can you give up everything and be with me?"
This time, Cui Mingyu's eyes weren't just red, they were wet, and her voice was choked with sobs: "As expected, you still blame me, but is this a choice I can make? Don't I want to be with you and be your wife?"
"Watching my sister standing by your side and becoming your wife, do you know how painful it is for me? Not only do you not know, but you also have another woman, and you brought that woman to me."
"Yun Jing, you've gone too far. How could you do this to me? I love you so much, sob…"
Since it was an accusation, Cui Mingyu also grasped the right degree, expressing her love, her entanglement, and her pain. When she cried, her tears were like pear blossoms in the rain, which made people feel pity for her.
At least at this moment Yun Jing felt pity in his heart.
He should have gone forward, held the crying Cui Mingyu in his arms and comforted her.
But his feet seemed to be rooted and he couldn't move his feet at all. Even though there was heartache in his eyes, his face remained expressionless.
Cui Mingyu, who was waiting for Yun Jing to come forward to comfort her, was stunned.
But now she was in a desperate situation and she couldn't retreat at all. She could only sob softly and wait for Yun Jing to comfort her.
After a long while, Yun Jing finally spoke: "I naturally know your feelings for me, but now you are my brother's woman, and I have married a princess..."
Cui Mingyu: “???”
She looked at Yun Jing in shock, her voice trembling: "You, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that the past should be left in the past. We can't live in the past forever."
Cui Mingyu was dumbfounded. This was not the result she wanted.
Yun Jing was also in a complicated mood at this time.
He still had some old feelings for Cui Mingyu, and he felt pity when he saw her crying, but when he really faced her this time, he didn't know why, but he said such words.
Do you regret it? Not really.
"Are you saying this because you're in love with your sister?"
Cui Mingyu was about to explode with rage at this point, his fists clenched tightly, afraid that he would not be able to control his temper and vent it directly in front of Yun Jing, thus ruining the impression he had made on him. However, the trembling of his voice still revealed some of his emotions.
However, Yun Jing was in a complicated mood and did not pay too much attention to Cui Mingyu's slightly wrong tone.
"This has nothing to do with who I'm in love with. It's just that your current status with mine makes it impossible for us to be together. So why dwell on the past?"
As for Qiu Chi, considering her strength and arrogance, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to subdue her.
Yun Jing thought that there was nothing wrong with his answer, but in Cui Mingyu's view, he did not deny it, and not denying it meant he agreed.
She took a deep breath, then threw herself into Yun Jing's arms, hugged him tightly and said, "No, I don't want to forget. I want to indulge in the past, and you can't forget it either. Those are our beautiful memories, how can you forget them?"
Yun Jing wanted to push Cui Mingyu away, but Cui Mingyu was holding him too tightly. He was afraid that if he held him too tightly, he would hurt him. He could only sigh and say, "Calm down."
"You said you wanted to forget. How can I calm down? How can I calm down? I love you. You love me, right?"
Yun Jing didn't say anything, so Cui Mingyu raised her head from his arms and stood on tiptoe to kiss him, but was pushed away by Yun Jing.
"You are a concubine now, don't do anything that you will regret."
After saying that, Yun Jing stopped looking at her and turned away.
