Chapter 301 Can’t Wait
"But..." After hesitating for a while, Yan Xi chose to shut up.
Li Mumu didn't say much. At the moment, Princess Qingyang was still on the same page with Concubine Rong. If she said something she shouldn't have, it would be bad if she told Concubine Rong.
Let's wait for her to slowly discover Rong Fei's true identity.
In short, Concubine Rong is no longer her only salvation and warmth.
If there were two life-saving straws, who could be sure that she would grab Rong Fei's?
"Twilight!"
"Brother!" Li Mumu shouted excitedly, his eyes falling on Princess Qingyang.
Although my eldest brother loves me, he rarely comes to my room unless necessary.
I'm very diligent today.
"My second aunt made some delicious food and asked me to bring it to you."
"Second aunt is so nice." Li Mumu ran to open the door, then pulled Li Yunchao in.
He was about to bow, but Princess Qingyang said, "Forget it. I'm not a princess at all."
"In short, you are the Princess Qingyang, canonized by the Emperor."
Princess Qingyang chuckled. Nowadays, the people from the powerful officials' families did not take her seriously at all. Those people who had tried to curry favor with her before, when she saw them on the way here today, they pretended not to see her.
Although she is young, she has experienced the ups and downs of life and learned about the warmth and coldness of human nature.
"You're the only one who thinks so. I'm a fake." Princess Qingyang laughed self-deprecatingly, a hint of grievance in her eyes. "No one even looks at me straight in the eye. Now that your Gu family is so prosperous, you still respect me so much. You're so foolish. After all, I'm not even as noble as you, a princess."
Her smile was bitter. "Who knows what kind of people my parents are? Are they criminals, or maybe..."
"Princess..."
"No need to say more." Princess Qingyang smiled, and the sadness in her eyes quickly subsided. "This snack smells so good. Madam Gu's cooking skills are so good that she could open a shop."
"How did you know that my second aunt was going to open a shop?"
"Really?" Princess Qingyang was a little surprised.
"Well, after my mother and Uncle Yunhe get married, she will open a shop. She has already chosen a location. It's in Fuzi Hutong."
Princess Qingyang was a little puzzled when she saw Li Mumu talking about her mother's remarriage and she didn't look unhappy at all.
Maybe she is young and doesn't understand these things.
She might not have understood it before, but now after going through so much, she is still a little worried about Li Mumu.
"Mumu, your mother is going to remarry. Are you so happy?"
"Of course!" Li Mumu said with a smile.
"How can you be happy? You're going to have a new daddy!"
Qingyang asked in confusion.
"When the time comes, your mother and your stepfather will have another child. They will naturally love that one. What are you going to do?"
"No, even if mother gives birth to a brother or sister, she is still Mumu's mother!" Li Mumu guessed Princess Qingyang's concerns, "and Uncle Yunhe treats us very well."
"But he's not your biological father after all. He'll have to make the final decision on many things from now on," Qingyang sighed. "Aren't you afraid?"
"Grandma is always my mother. She treated me well and will always treat me well. How could she stop being kind to me just because she married someone else?" Li Mumu said, "Besides, Uncle Yunhe is much better than my biological father. My biological father almost killed me and beat me."
Li Mumu's words made Princess Qingyang thoughtful.
Mother is always mother, and if you love her, you will always love her.
She couldn't help but think of herself.
But soon she looked at Li Yunchao, "You too, your sister is young and doesn't understand, aren't you worried too?"
Li Yunchao smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. Uncle Yunhe is an upright and modest gentleman. Even if he really treats us badly, I will protect my sister-in-law."
"Okay, okay, I'm the bad guy."
"The princess cares about Mumu, and we are very grateful." Li Yunchao said.
Princess Qingyang pursed her lips, not expecting that he didn't misunderstand.
She didn't want President Jiao to be domineering, but her mother had said that a princess shouldn't be too approachable, otherwise how could she demonstrate the majesty of the royal family? Besides, no matter what happened to her, nothing would happen.
"You're quite good at talking!" Princess Qingyang said, "Haven't you seen me beat someone up? Don't you think I'm a bad person?"
Li Yunchao shook his head. "I know that the princess attacked that time because that person was at fault first, but the princess saved her life with a slap."
"You actually knew that?" Princess Qingyang was a little surprised.
"Yeah, I know."
Princess Qingyang couldn't help but curl her lips. "You're quite considerate, unlike those people who, without knowing the full story, accuse me of being arrogant and domineering, and bullying others."
Li Mumu kept looking at the two of them, as if she sensed something unusual.
Brother Li died early, and the two had no contact at all.
"It's getting late, I have to go back." Princess Qingyang said.
"Can I come next time?"
"Of course." Li Mumu blinked, "Five days later."
Princess Qingyang nodded happily. The few hours she spent at the Gu family were the best time for her in recent times.
But when she returned to the palace, she was in a terrible mood.
Unfortunately, she couldn't stay in the Gu family forever.
…
"Mother, do you still not want to see me?" Princess Qingyang bit her lip. "I brought some delicious snacks. Mother used to love the snacks I gave her the most."
Matron Cui shook her head. "Your Majesty has not been feeling well lately. The imperial physician has advised you to eat less sweet foods. I will convey the princess's good intentions to you."
"Is my mother sick? Is it serious?" Princess Qingyang asked.
Aunt Cui shook her head.
Princess Qingyang finally felt relieved. "When Mother is feeling better, please tell me. I'll come to see her."
"I understand, Princess, please go back."
Princess Qingyang turned around, looking dejected, and tried hard to hold back her tears.
In the bedroom, Concubine Rong was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a rosy complexion, and did not look sick at all.
"Gone?"
Aunt Cui nodded. "Your Majesty doesn't see her, but she comes here frequently, once a day."
"It will be soon. Otherwise, she knows that everything she has now is given by me, and she herself is close to the Gu family."
"I also got some snacks from the Gu family to give to the queen, but she can't get any good things today. She is really filial to you."
"I've been nice to her. Without me, what kind of princess would she be? I don't even know if she'd live to this age." Concubine Rong said coldly, "She's close to the Gu family. It would be nice if she could speak up for the Eighth Prince, but the Gu family..."
Concubine Rong shook her head, seeming to hesitate to speak.
"Of course, I'm keeping her for my own use. The barbarians want us to send someone from Dongyao to marry them. I originally wanted to postpone this for a few years, but now it seems I can't wait any longer."
