“They knew each other. It wasn’t because I told Ha, but because Chu Qiaoling’s appearance hadn’t changed, and Qianyun recognized her immediately.”
As Xi Xi recounted this, she recalled the situation from back then and found it amusing, laughing for a while before finally stopping under Chen Xiao's speechless gaze. She then recounted the entire incident to her host:
“At the time, we didn’t know about the flow rate problem. It wasn’t until Qianyun returned to this interface that we realized something was wrong. I checked and then I understood the situation.”
I only learned of the existence of the book and Chu Qiaoling's existence. She actually started the mission so decisively and by accident without my knowledge or understanding of herself.
This series of misunderstandings came so suddenly. Even after Qianyun found out, she didn't blame me. She truly lives up to her princess reputation; her perspective is so different. She's so gentle and kind. I regret not meeting her sooner.
Chen Xiao: ...Although she could tell how good Qianyun was from Yuan Yin, she fell silent when she saw how amateurish and worthless Xixi used to be.
After praising Qianyun profusely, Xixi continued, "Qianyun knows that Muyang and the others are gone, but she is relieved to see that people are doing well. As for whether she stays or leaves, it's not important. But since she's tied to me, and it's my fault, I will definitely take responsibility."
I thought of Chu Qiaoling. As a mission participant, she couldn't leave her bloodline in the mission interface, yet she became the emperor. I know she's already starting to search for a future crown prince. Since she's going to cultivate an heir anyway, why not cultivate Qianyun instead?
Qianyun was originally royalty and quite capable, and besides, she knew Chu Qiaoling, making her a perfect match. Qianyun's new identity was that of a princess, so she wouldn't feel out of place.
The more I thought about it, the more suitable it seemed, so I contacted Chu Qiaoling. However, I didn't tell Chu Qiaoling about Qianyun's identity, not for any other reason than simply because I didn't know I could tell her. Chu Qiaoling had been in this world for fifteen years, and she already felt that this wasn't a world like the ones in the books. After learning of my existence, she became even more convinced that this was the real world.
I cannot deny that she was very perceptive. She was not a feudal or conservative person; she did not care about the gender of the future crown prince, only his abilities. She did not want the country to become like the Rong Dynasty after she left. She agreed to let the baby become her eldest princess, and Qianyun moved into the palace.
I told Qianyun that I had found her an identity, and she thought it wouldn't hurt to be reborn. She knew that Chu Qiaoling had become the emperor, but she was currently an infant, always sleepy. When she opened her eyes, she discovered that she had become Chu Qiaoling's 'daughter', hahahahahaha!
Shocked, she tried to speak to Chu Qiaoling, but the newborn baby couldn't speak! She tried to make a movement, but lacked the strength. Chu Qiaoling, being so perceptive, immediately asked me about the baby's origins after seeing this extraordinary infant.
I didn't say anything, but she vaguely sensed something was wrong. However, she didn't press the matter and instead focused on raising the child. Hahahaha! It wasn't until Qianyun was able to speak that Chu Qiaoling learned about her eldest daughter's identity. Hahahaha! The situation was so hilarious! I can't take it anymore, I'm laughing so hard I'm going to faint...
Xi Xi laughed so hard she was lying on her back, tears streaming down her face, and her little arms were waving wildly.
Her description was extremely vivid and detailed, so lifelike, and with her actions and laughter, Chen Xiao seemed to see the situation back then as well, and couldn't help but chuckle, "That scene must have been hilarious."
Xi Xi wiped away her tears and finally managed to stop smiling. She waved to Chen Xiao and said, "Chu Qiaoling was forty years old in the original world. In this world, she started from scratch, from infancy to adulthood, a total of fifteen years. Her experience is completely different, and she still treats Qianyun like a child."
Indeed, Qianyun died on her coming-of-age ceremony in her previous life. Even if she were to live again in this life, she would still only have the experience of a fifteen-year-old, and certainly not as rich in experience as Chu Qiaoling, who is 40+15.
Therefore, it's acceptable for Chu Qiaoling to be her 'Empress Mother'.
From Qianyun's perspective, however, her second sister's friend's daughter, her peer, and her good friend, became her new mother.
When Mu Ling brought her friends to the Pingyang Prince's Mansion, Qian Yun was somewhat surprised, because she originally thought that Mu Ling's so-called friends were one person, but she did not expect that there were several people.
Her nominal mother was the late Empress Yin Yuyao, who died young.
Mu Ling's close friend whom she met in Jingguo was Chu Xuzhen, a woman from Rongchao.
Chu Xuzhen's daughter, Chu Qiaoling, was only fourteen years old at the time.
However, Mu Ling publicly claimed that Chu Xuzhen was her childhood friend, and no one outside knew about the existence of Yin Yuyao and Chu Qiaoling.
Chu Qiaoling and Qianyun were about the same age, and Qianyun liked Chu Qiaoling very much, so the two became friends.
Unexpectedly... due to Xixi's blunder and good intentions, these friends turned into mother and daughter, which is truly unbelievable.
After Chen Xiao finished talking with Xi Xi about Qian Yun and Chu Qiao Ling, she thought of Qian Yun's current situation and sighed, "If Qian Yun could talk to Yin Yu Yao now, it would be a good thing, after all, Yin Yu Yao still cares about Ning Wu You."
Xi Xi suddenly asked, "Does Yin Yuyao know that Chu Qianyun is Ning Wuyou?"
The two were shocked, they looked at each other, and then fell silent.
"It seems... I don't know..." Chen Xiao recalled carefully. "Last night I only said that Chu Qiaoling was a mission participant like her, and that they were from the same interface. I also said that Chu Yanxi was a mission participant, from the same interface as me. But... I completely forgot to mention Qianyun's matter..."
"How can a young man be so forgetful!" Chen Xiao said to himself, disgusted.
When Yin Yuyao was summoned by them last night, the first thing she did was ask about Chen Xiao and inquire about the situation of Wuyou and the others. However, they got so engrossed in talking about Rong Chao, Ni Chengli, and Yin Yujie that they completely forgot about this matter.
After a long silence, Xi Xi quickly removed the barrier and hurriedly returned to Qianqing Palace with Chen Xiao. As expected, Yin Yuyao had already digested the memories and was waiting outside the palace.
Chen Xiao, unaware of how long she had been waiting, quickly pulled her into the hall and made her sit down before asking, "Why didn't you just come in? I told Yun An you could have come in directly. Waiting outside like this must have been tiring! Have you been waiting for a long time?"
This series of sentences made Yin Yuyao chuckle.
Faced with Chen Xiao's extra enthusiasm, she felt a little suspicious, but she still answered seriously, "Outsiders don't know my identity, and coming in rashly would cause unnecessary speculation. Besides, I haven't been waiting long, I've only been here for about a minute? And you've already arrived."
