Chapter 28 Your prince brother smiles gently at everyone
Yun Qingqing smiled mysteriously and whispered:
"When I slapped him, I secretly cast a mantra. He couldn't lie for an hour."
Yan Jinghua suddenly realized and couldn't help but have a further understanding of her daughter's abilities.
She sighed softly:
"You must have suffered a lot during the time when Mom was sick."
Yun Qingqing thought of the original owner's experience, and was speechless, and her heart was also touched.
Others would only marvel at her changes, but Yan Jinghua was the only one who felt that she had to learn so many skills out of necessity, and her first reaction was to feel sorry for her.
She changed the subject, and when she asked, she found out that Yan Jinghua had come all the way to inform her grandfather that she was going to marry the Regent, and hoped that all the members of the Yan family would be present on the wedding day.
Here, Wu Yuan was taken away by the officers, and the guests dispersed, and several people returned to the inner hall.
Yan Yuzhu hugged Yan Jinghua and cried bitterly:
"Sister, I'm sorry! It turns out you were wrongly accused of everything that happened before! It was all my fault. I actually believed that evil-hearted person. I made you unable to return home and almost killed Daddy... Wuuwuwu..."
Yan Jinghua patted her back and comforted her:
"It's all in the past. I hope our family lives in peace and safety from now on... Okay, stop crying. You're an elder now, and Qingqing is still watching."
Yan Yuzhu then wiped away her tears, looked at Yun Qingqing somewhat embarrassedly, and became serious again.
"Clear your face...what happened?"
Yun Qingqing was burned after Yan Jinghua had a falling out with her family. She was in a coma for half a year afterwards. The villa that the Yan family bought in the suburbs of Beijing for peace and quiet was never clear. It was not until now that we finally found out what happened.
Yan Yuzhu was so angry that she slammed the table:
"That Xiao Zirui is too much! He's been with Qingqing since they were little, and it was he who begged for this marriage. Yet, he's turned his back on her just because she had an injury on her face, an injury she sustained while trying to save him! He broke off the engagement so unkindly, and yet the Emperor actually agreed! This royal family is simply going too far!"
"Be careful with your words!" Yan Hongshan said solemnly, "Never say such things at home again. Be careful, there are ears!"
Yan Yuzhu was unhappy, but she didn't say anything more.
Yun Qingqing smiled slightly.
Although her aunt is an elder, she is actually only twenty-three years old this year. She is very well protected by her family and still has some girlish nature. She is very cute.
"Aunt, don't be angry. For someone like Xiao Zirui, breaking off the engagement is a good thing. It's better than marrying him and then finding out what kind of person he is, right?"
Yan Hongshan rubbed his eyebrows:
"Qingqing, what are you talking about? That's the prince..."
My granddaughter dares to say anything.
Yun Qingqing smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? When I marry into the Prince Regent's Palace, Xiao Zirui will be my imperial nephew, and he will have to address me as the Imperial Aunt when he sees me!"
Yan Hongshan and Yan Yuzhu: ???
Yan Jinghua also smiled:
"Qingqing is getting married to the Prince Regent on the eighth day of this month. I came here today to let you know and to invite Dad and Sister to attend Qingqing's wedding."
The two of them were stunned for a while, and Yan Yuzhu clapped her hands:
"Great! Our Qingqing is really promising. Auntie will definitely be there to give you a big gift!"
Yan Hongshan also said happily:
"Great, great! The dowry that Grandpa saved for you can finally be used! We must have a grand wedding!"
…
The two stayed at Yan's Villa for one night and rushed back the next day. Before leaving, Yun Qingqing left a few talismans for her grandfather to protect the house.
When I returned to the Yun Mansion, I saw many people coming and going, carrying boxes of things into the mansion. Those boxes were tied with big red silk cloth.
Yun Qingqing remembered that this was probably the betrothal gift from the Prince's Mansion to Yun Bailian.
Sure enough, when they walked into the inner courtyard, they saw Old Master Yun and the second branch's family coming out to greet them. Xiao Zirui was wearing auspicious clothes and looked dignified. He was smiling gently at Yun Bailian.
Yun Bailian's face was as red as an apple, her eyes were rippling, and it was obvious that she was in love.
Yun Qingqing curled her lips calmly and planned to go back to her own courtyard with her mother.
But when Yun Bailian saw her, her eyes immediately lit up, and she came up to her with a smile on her face and said:
"Sister, you're back! Look at the huge betrothal gifts His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent. They're no less than what the Regent has given. He's truly full of sincerity!"
Yun Qingqing didn't want to pay any attention to her, but since Bai Lian insisted on provoking her, she couldn't blame her for slapping her in the face.
She walked over to the pile of boxes, glanced at them, and said with a smile:
"Indeed, the Crown Prince sent such a generous betrothal gift to marry you. I imagine your dowry won't be less than this, right? However, the Yun Mansion's money has nothing to do with your second branch anymore, and I don't know what your father plans to give you as a dowry."
The second wife's family's faces froze.
During the last settlement, all the family fortune that Yun Zhiping had worked so hard to save was taken away by Yun Qingqing using some unknown means, so he had no money left to prepare a dowry.
Yun Bailian's eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked at Xiao Zirui:
"I'm sorry, Prince. My family can't afford such a large dowry. I'm afraid you will be embarrassed at the wedding..."
Xiao Zirui's eyelids twitched, and he forced a smile:
"Don't worry, Sister Bai Lian. I will find a way to arrange your dowry and will ensure you marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion with honor."
Yun Bailian smiled sweetly instantly:
"Brother Crown Prince, you are so good to me! You are so gentle and handsome when you smile. I am so happy to marry Brother Crown Prince Bai Lian!"
Most of the women Xiao Zirui had met before were reserved, and this was the first time he had been praised and confessed to so directly. These words, spoken in Yun Bailian's sweet voice, made him feel very comforted.
His smile couldn't help but become a little gentler.
However, at this moment, Yun Qingqing's light voice broke the pink bubble between the two:
"When your prince brother begged for an engagement with me, his smile was just as gentle. When he vowed to never let Su Yurou down and would marry no one but her, his smile was just as gentle."
Yun Bailian's face darkened, but she couldn't refute it because what Yun Qingqing said was true!
She suddenly felt uneasy. If the prince could go back on his word once or twice, there might be another time...
Xiao Zirui gritted his teeth in hatred:
"Yun Qingqing, you are already going to marry the emperor's uncle, why are you still holding a grudge against me?"
Yun Qingqing smiled:
"Yes, I'm going to marry your uncle, so you should call me aunt! Forget it this time, but don't call me the wrong one next time."
After saying this, she left without any commotion, leaving behind Yun Bailian who was about to cry and the Crown Prince who was busy trying to comfort her, feeling inexplicably relieved.
…
Yun Qingqing went back to her room, changed her clothes, and left through the back door to go to the Regent's Palace.
When the guards of the palace saw that it was her, they quickly let her in and passed the message, but Nan Zheng arrived just in time.
"Princess, please wait a moment. The prince is discussing matters with the ministers in the court."
Yun Qingqing nodded without thinking much about it.
However, just as she took a few steps inside, she suddenly heard a loud shout:
"Since ancient times, evil concubines have brought disaster to the country. Does the Regent really want to act on his own?"
