Chapter 600: Build a Princess Mansion for My Daughter

Princess Qing'an tossed and turned all night and only fell into a sleepy sleep in the middle of the night.

When I woke up the next morning, there was still a hint of gray in my eyes.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Princess Qing'an felt helpless and could only cover herself up with makeup.

After breakfast, Princess Ying sent someone to the Yu family - of course she had to ask first whether the host was free and whether it would be convenient for them to visit.

Princess Ying didn't want the Yu family to think that the Ying Palace was rude just because they were royal relatives.

Princess Ying was handling affairs at her own manor while waiting for a reply from the person who went to the Yu family.

Princess Qing'an was feeling quite restless and walked around the room again and again, making Princess Ying feel dizzy.

"Alright, alright, my dear daughter, do you want to make me faint to death?" Princess Ying sighed, "Hurry up and sit down. Don't turn around. Your feet will hurt if you turn around."

Princess Qing'an pursed her lips and sat down. But after a while, she grabbed the armrest and asked Princess Ying: "...what if they think our family is too high..."

Princess Ying was almost speechless because of her daughter.

Her Qing'an was born as a princess. There were countless people who wanted to marry her Qing'an. Now that her daughter had fallen in love, she was actually worried that her noble status would be an obstacle.

Princess Ying sighed. It was all thanks to Yu Yongliu being an honest man. Otherwise, if he was a liar, he would definitely cheat her daughter so much that she would not have even a hairpin left.

"Qing'an." Princess Ying hesitated and called out her daughter's title. "My daughter was born into this world, so she should respect herself. You are from a high family, that's your noble status, not your shortcoming. You should show the demeanor of a princess. If Yu Yongliu is really blind and doesn't like you, it's his loss, not yours."

Princess Qing'an pursed her lips and responded softly.

The servant who went to the Yu family to deliver the message came back soon and said with a smile: "Replying to the princess, the Yu family said that there is nothing to do today, and the princess is welcome to come and play anytime."

Princess Ying nodded with satisfaction, and stood up with the help of the maid, and adjusted the pearl flower on her temples: "Qing'an, remember this, no matter how much you like Yu Yongliu, you must remember that you are yourself first. You can't forget your own identity for a man."

Princess Qing'an lowered her head and said, "Mother, I know all this, but..."

But sometimes feelings come so irrationally.

Whenever she thought that Yu Yongliu didn't like her, she felt sad.

Princess Qing'an held back her tears and said, "Mother, don't worry. I know I am a princess of the royal family. If Yu Yongliu really has no feelings for me, I won't keep pestering him. There are so many good men in the world. I won't insist on hanging myself on him alone."

Princess Ying then nodded with satisfaction, took Princess Qing'an, and had the servants carry the gifts that had been prepared long ago, and went to the Yu family.

The Yu family's summer resort in the mountains was about half a hill away from the summer resort of Prince Ying's mansion. Princess Ying and Princess Qing'an took a sedan chair and it took them half an hour to arrive.

However, the person who came out to greet him was Yu Yongliu.

When Princess Qing'an got off the sedan and saw Yu Yongliu, her previous ambition to not hang herself on this tree disappeared in an instant.

She luckily didn't sprain her ankle.

Princess Ying was more stable than Princess Qing'an. When she saw Yu Yongliu coming out to greet her, she was surprised but she didn't show it. She just raised her eyebrows and said, "Huh? Lord Yu? Didn't Lord Yu take a day off yesterday?"

Yu Yongliu didn't know how to tell Princess Ying that he was originally going to the government office, but when he was about to leave, he happened to meet a servant from Prince Ying's mansion coming to deliver a message. He immediately changed his mind and asked his long-time attendant to ask for leave on his behalf from the Hanlin Academy, and he stayed.

Now that Princess Ying had asked, Yu Yongliu was silent for a moment and said, "I was going to go, but I had something else to do, so I asked for leave."

Generally speaking, when things come to this point, respectable people will not ask such private questions as what the matter is.

However, Princess Ying's eyes were burning. For the sake of her daughter, she didn't care about the dignity. She smiled and asked, "What's the matter? Lord Yu is here to welcome us. We should not interrupt Lord Yu's business."

Yu Yongliu, who was always calm and composed in the Golden Palace, felt a slight sweat on his forehead when he saw Princess Ying's meaningful smile. He didn't know what to do.

Princess Ying, on the other hand, had a clue when she saw Yu Yongliu's expression. She smiled meaningfully and stopped asking further questions. She said with a smile, "...It looks like there won't be any delay. Then I'll have to trouble Master Yu to lead the way."

Princess Qing'an looked at her mother with full admiration.

This was the first time she saw Yu Yongliu look embarrassed in all the times she met him!

Yu Yongliu silently leaned aside and made a "please" gesture.

Princess Ying walked in front, looking noble and cold, while Princess Qing'an lagged behind her by half a step.

It was just that Princess Ying wanted to "get to know" Yu Yongliu better, and asked him a few questions from time to time along the way.

Yu Yongliu answered them one by one.

Princess Ying was extremely satisfied with Yu Yongliu. She looked at Princess Qing'an calmly, as if to say that her daughter had good taste.

Princess Qing'an's ears have been red ever since she met Yu Yongliu, and the fever has never subsided.

Seeing her mother's meaningful look at this moment, her neck almost turned red.

The group soon arrived at the main courtyard of the manor. Mrs. Wei and her two pregnant daughters-in-law, Bai Xiaofeng and Su Rouer, were waiting at the gate.

Xingxing is here too.

"I have met the Princess Consort and Princess Qing'an."

Mother Wei brought the women of the Yu family to pay their respects to Princess Ying.

Princess Ying smiled amiably and stepped forward to support Mrs. Wei: "Madam Wei is too polite. We are here to express our gratitude. Why should we be so polite to you?"

It was the first time for Mrs. Wei to meet Princess Ying. She was so excited to see such a royal relative and so amiable that her impression of Princess Ying grew rapidly.

When they arrived at the house, Princess Ying did not put on airs. She smiled and chatted with Mrs. Wei about the hot weather in the capital, and then about the comfort of the farm. After a few words, the women of the Yu family relaxed a little and were no longer so embarrassed.

Princess Ying's eyes fell on Bai Xiaofeng.

Madam Wei had just introduced her to her, so of course she would not make a mistake and knew that this was Yu Yongliu's biological mother.

If all goes well, she will most likely become her daughter's future mother-in-law.

The main reason she came this time was to see whether Bai Xiaofeng and other members of the Yu family were really as easy to get along with as rumored in the capital.

If this family is just for show and difficult to get along with, and her daughter insists on marrying Yu Yongliu, then she will go to Emperor Jiazheng to ask for permission to build a princess's mansion for her daughter, and then let her daughter and Yu Yongliu live in the princess's mansion.
