Chapter 73 There's a good show tonight
Thinking of this, Xue Zhonglan took a deep breath.
If the truth is really as Yu Mengqing thought, even if she really became the Crown Princess, it would not be legitimate.
And her reputation is basically ruined. It goes without saying how important reputation is in this era.
Even outside, people would point fingers at you, let alone in this palace?
One can imagine how difficult it will be for her to take a single step in this deep palace in the future.
In addition, she only has a Prime Minister's Mansion with no real power behind her. What can she use to save her life?
You know, in this harem, even someone with a status like the queen is often framed by others, let alone her?
In fact, Yu Mengqing also wanted to say that she still had a good show to perform after returning.
By then, Yu Mengfen wouldn't be able to become the Crown Princess, let alone the Crown Princess. She wouldn't even be able to become the Crown Princess's concubine. Even if she was a concubine, she might just barely reach that level.
But seeing Xue Zhonglan's expression, Yu Mengqing knew that she had the same idea as herself.
As expected of a daughter from a wealthy family, she is used to all these intrigues and deceptions. With just a slight mention, she can figure out the whole story.
Looking at Yu Mengfen again, she really is strong in body but simple in mind.
If you want to climb up the ladder, you must have the capital to do so.
As they were talking excitedly, Xue Zhonglan patted Yu Mengqing's arm and whispered in her ear, "The War King is here."
Yu Mengqing raised her eyes and saw Chu Shiheng walking towards her against the light.
I have to say, this man is really good-looking.
If it weren't for his fate of being unlucky with his wife, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how many daughters of wealthy families in the capital would have been charmed by him.
Seeing Yu Mengqing staring at him, Chu Shiheng's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Looking at the woman in front of him with a scarf, fair skin and bright eyes, Chu Shiheng suddenly felt a little proud. This was his princess.
He didn't know whether she was beautiful or not, but in his heart, she was the best!
Others said she was ugly and would be disliked by him.
But for some reason, when he thought of this fact, the first thing he felt was not rejection, but relief.
Fortunately, she is his princess, fortunately, it is she who will spend his life with him.
Seeing the two looking at each other, Xue Zhonglan gently pulled Guo Peiying.
Seeing her looking at him with a puzzled expression, Xue Zhonglan had no choice but to pull her and quietly walk to the other side.
"Sister Zhonglan, we haven't told Sister Mengqing yet." Guo Peiying muttered.
Xue Zhonglan: “…” He is still a child indeed.
In fact, Xue Zhonglan is only two years older than Guo Peiying.
But Xue Zhonglan, who was born into a marquisate family since childhood, may appear to be from a high-class family, but his family background is actually very complicated, so his mind is naturally more mature than his peers.
"How long do you plan to keep watching me?" Yu Mengqing spoke first.
Chu Shiheng: “…” He had never seen such a direct woman.
Seeing Chu Shiheng looking constipated, Yu Mengqing felt very happy.
When Chu Shiheng saw Yu Mengqing's expression, he immediately knew that he had fallen into a trap.
"I see my princess, what's wrong with that?" The deep and magnetic voice makes people feel comfortable when listening to it.
Sure enough, when Yu Mengqing heard this, her face turned red.
"You like to see my yin-yang face too?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Shiheng was stunned. He thought that with Yu Mengqing's personality, she wouldn't care about her appearance.
I never thought that she still cared.
After considering it for a moment, Chu Shiheng said, "A woman's appearance doesn't mean anything. Inner beauty is the real beauty. You are very good. You don't need to worry about your appearance."
As soon as the words fell, Yu Mengqing raised her head and saw Chu Shiheng, "You really don't care?"
"Why should I care? Didn't I make myself clear enough?"
Yu Mengqing lowered her head and said nothing more.
For the first time, she felt as if she had always been looking at the man in front of her through tinted glasses, and she had never really understood him.
Thinking of this, Yu Mengqing finally said to him: "I'm sorry..."
"You haven't wronged me. Your appearance was given to you by your parents. Don't take it too seriously. I'm also disliked by others because of my fate, but I've never thought about how I'd wrong anyone. You're a good person. There's no need to change yourself for anyone."
Yu Mengqing: "..."
She wanted to say that this was not what she meant by sorry.
What she wanted to say was that the reason she said sorry was because she felt sorry for looking at you with tinted glasses before.
Just seeing Chu Shiheng's serious expression, Yu Mengqing swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
During today's archery competition, she didn't understand at first why Chu Shiheng wanted to win.
But when she won the prize and saw the sincere smile on his face, she suddenly understood.
His prize should be earned for himself. He knew that he wanted that prize, so he tried his best to get it back and win it for himself.
In the 22nd century, she has always fought alone.
No one has ever done this for her. Even a small gesture is enough to warm her heart.
I never thought that as a senior agent, I would one day get lost in such a direction.
"Let's go back!" Chu Shiheng's words interrupted Yu Mengqing's thoughts.
"Um!"
Chenggan Hall.
Caiyue was already waiting at the door eagerly for her young lady to return.
Because it was a palace banquet, the maids were not allowed to enter, so she waited for her in Chenggan Hall all day.
"Miss, you are finally back. Didn't the competition end a long time ago?"
"Well, I just strolled around casually." Yu Mengqing said casually.
At the gate of Chenggan Palace, the third prince Chu Shixiang was already waiting there.
"Cousin, come and sit down."
Chu Shixiang groped his way towards Chu Shiheng.
Chu Shiheng glanced at the maid beside him and signaled her to support Chu Shixiang.
Concubine Yu at the door chuckled and said, "Shiheng, don't blame the maid. He has been waiting here for a long time and insisted on waiting for you to come over."
"Mengqing greets Concubine Yu!" Seeing Concubine Yu right at the door, Yu Mengqing hurriedly saluted.
"Mengqing, you don't have to be polite when you come here. Shiheng knows that he has always regarded this place as his home."
Hearing this, Yu Mengqing looked towards Chu Shiheng, only to see him nodding slightly at her.
Now Yu Mengqing felt a lot more at ease.
It seems that Concubine Yu is indeed a person worth associating with. Even a man with a deep mind like Chu Shiheng recognizes her, so you can imagine what kind of person she is.
Yu Mengqing knew that anyone who could survive in this deep palace was not an ordinary person.
Just looking at Chu Shixiang like this, it seems that it is not easy for this mother and daughter to get to where they are today.
In the main room, Chu Shiheng has been sitting with Chu Shixiang since he came in.
