Chapter 340: No Need to Watch Her Gloriously
Qian Miaoyun met a few good friends in the Imperial Garden. They sat down and chatted for a while about the people they looked down upon. After they felt relieved, they said goodbye to each other and went back as the moonlight rose.
"Miss, I will go back and ask someone to prepare some food. You haven't eaten yet so late. It's not good for your health to go to bed hungry."
Qian Miaoyun was in a good mood at the moment, and responded calmly, "Make some light meals. I have to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen tomorrow. If I eat something spicy, my face will inevitably get swollen, which won't look good."
The maid agreed repeatedly, "Miss, you will look good no matter what, but since you said so, I will order someone to prepare some light dishes."
Qian Miaoyun nodded, and when she turned the corner, she was caught off guard and was hit by someone head-on. She staggered back a few steps and cursed, "How dare you! Who is so blind?"
Guo Licheng's face was full of panic. She put down her hands that were covering her face in panic and lowered her head to say, "Please forgive me, Miss Qian. I didn't see the road clearly and bumped into you."
Qian Miaoyun felt something was wrong as she looked at her evasive and uneasy appearance. She took the lantern from the maid's hand and shone it on her face, only then did she see a clear slap mark on her cheek.
"Who hit you?"
After she finished speaking, Qian Miaoyun already had the answer.
This road only leads to Changchun Garden, but it can also lead to other places, but it requires a long detour.
She knew that Guo Licheng went to find Qiao Wanyan, so now she could only come from Qiao Wanyan, and only Qiao Wanyan dared to hit her.
After all, she is the daughter of a court official.
Qian Miaoyun rolled her eyes and pulled her directly to a quiet and deserted pavilion, and asked their maids to stay far away and not get close, guarding the pavilion.
Qian Miaoyun asked, "Did Qiao Wanyan hit you?"
Guo Licheng shook his head repeatedly to deny, "No, it wasn't Miss Qiao who hit me. I was careless...accidentally..."
Qian Miaoyun snorted inwardly, she had never seen the world. She had always lived in a small place, and now that she had come to the capital, she couldn't get rid of that petty air.
"If you have something to say, just say it. My aunt is the current queen, and it's not like there's no one in charge of Yuxiu Garden."
Guo Licheng still shook his head and refused to say anything.
Qian Miaoyun was rarely patient. "I know that people like you from small families always want to seek some support after entering Beijing, but you should know Qiao Wanyan's personality after spending a long time with her. She is arrogant and domineering. If you stay with such a person, you will only be humiliated and get nothing useful."
"In this case, are you willing to continue to protect her and even endure being humiliated by her slaps? If you can endure it, you must endure it for the rest of your life!"
Guo Licheng looked up at her, but there was still some hesitation in her eyes.
Qian Miaoyun: "You have to get something in return to avoid wasting time and energy. You will never see hope if you just follow her and act like her lackey. She bullied you so much, don't you want to retaliate?"
Guo Licheng lowered his head again when he heard this. "Ms. Qian, what you said is so easy. How can I retaliate if I am not from a noble family? Everyone can see that the Queen intends to choose the Second Miss Qiao as the Crown Princess. Even if I tell the Queen, how can she help me to seek justice?"
Qian Miaoyun choked when she heard this.
Guo Licheng added: "My father is the Prince's Master of Ceremonies, and he can talk to His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness is busy with court affairs, but he still found time to come to Yuxiu Garden."
Qian Miaoyun raised her eyebrows, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here too? I haven't seen him during the day!"
Guo Licheng lowered his head and sighed, "Miss Qian, do you know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince squeezed out time to come to Yuxiu Garden?"
Qian Miaoyun was interested and sat next to her, "What are you doing?"
Guo Licheng said: "Your Highness has prepared a jade pendant, which is placed in a golden nanmu box. The box was prepared by my father. The jade pendant inside is the token of love that Your Highness wants to give to Miss Qiao Er. Your Highness has made up his mind to marry Miss Qiao Er."
Guo Licheng didn't look at the shock on Qian Miaoyun's face. "Miss Qiao has accepted the love token from His Highness. She will have more confidence and support in the future. Maybe she will soon be granted marriage and become the Crown Princess by the Imperial Edict. How can I talk about revenge?"
Guo Licheng said, "Miss Qian, you are the niece of the Queen, and the cousin of the Crown Prince. You have a natural advantage, but you can't become the Crown Princess. If you can become the Crown Princess, maybe I can feel a little comforted and don't have to watch her enjoy so much glory."
After saying that, she sighed heavily.
Qian Miaoyun was speechless. His Highness had liked Qiao Yihuan before, but later Qiao Wanyan saved the prince's life, and rumors spread in the capital that she might be the prince's consort in the future.
But His Highness has never shown the same determination to marry Qiao Wanyan as he did to Qiao Yihuan, so she always felt that she still had a chance.
Just as Guo Licheng said, he and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are cousins, a uniquely close relationship.
I am the Queen's niece, but I can't marry the Crown Prince through my aunt. Why?
My aunt is too selfish. She is greedy for the power of being the head of Shangshu Qiao's family and ignores the future of the Qian family. She is a daughter of the Qian family!
Guo Licheng sighed, "Now Miss Qiao doesn't take us seriously. After receiving the token of love from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid she will be arrogant and will not take Miss Qian seriously. We should just stay away from her in the future."
Guo Licheng gave the advice with good intentions, but when Qian Miaoyun heard it, it became a great irony and humiliation.
"What a joke!" Qian Miaoyun slammed the table and stood up. "I am the eldest daughter of the Qian family. My Qian family once produced a queen. Do I need to avoid her when I go out in the future?"
Their Qian family is the emperor's father-in-law's family. Even if the Qiao family is the head of the aristocratic families and even if most of the officials in the court came from their Qiao family's academy, so what?
It will only make the emperor more fearful, and he will be eager to get rid of him as soon as possible to prevent future troubles.
Qian Miaoyun was furious. "Who does she think she is? The Qiao family is regarded as a thorn in the emperor's side. Who knows when they will fall! When they fall, I wonder how she can still be so arrogant!"
Guo Licheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly glanced around.
Is this woman crazy?
With this brain, is she blaming the Queen for choosing the far-flung place over letting her become the Crown Princess?
If someone with ulterior motives heard this, it would be a serious crime of discussing state affairs in a perverted way!
Qian Miaoyun turned and left, and Guo Licheng sat quietly in the distance watching her back.
The maid came over and said worriedly, "Miss!"
Guo Licheng let out a long sigh, "I'm fine. For my mother's life, I have no choice. Let's go back."
