Chapter 370 Telling You a Secret
"Here it comes, the bronze mirror is here."
Xier ran over excitedly holding a bronze mirror.
After handing the bronze mirror to the young master, he tactfully led his servants out.
"Uncle Cui, please look in the mirror." Miaomiao held the bronze mirror in front of Cui Yan.
Cui Yan was a little confused.
He is a grown man, why does he look in the mirror for no reason?
He was usually very busy and had someone to serve him and take care of his clothes, so he didn't need to dress up like women, so the mirrors in his room were just decorations.
But seeing Miaomiao's expectant eyes, he still took the bronze mirror and began to examine himself in the mirror.
I suddenly remembered the saying that we should use bronze as a mirror and history as a lesson.
I think I should look in the mirror once in a while.
He looked at himself in the bronze mirror and sighed, "Time is merciless. I'm getting old!"
Jiang Miaomiao: ...Who asked you to look at this?
The little girl rested her chin on her hand and stared at Cui Yan.
It was the first time she took a closer look at this man who was most likely her biological father.
Uncle Cui has a good appearance.
But his good looks are different from Jiang Yunze's.
Jiang Yunze is like a male version of the white lotus, all his good looks are on the surface, and he likes to dress himself in white clothes when he has nothing to do.
It looks like a holy white lotus.
And Uncle Cui.
Every time I saw him, he was either wearing a black robe or a green robe. His robe fluttered as he walked, giving him the demeanor of an immortal, the elegance of a scholar, and the calmness of mountains and seas.
But there is always a sense of coldness and alienation between his brows.
It makes people feel awe.
If you must solve the mystery and find your biological father.
Miaomiao probably doesn't dare to get close to Uncle Cui because his aura is too strong.
Just teaching her to practice writing characters almost made her depressed.
Miaomiao leaned forward and said, "Uncle Cui, did you see clearly? Do you think we look alike?"
Cui Yan looked at the two faces, one big and one small, in the bronze mirror, staring blankly for a while.
Eyes, nose, mouth...
He turned around again, held up Miaomiao's little face and looked at it carefully. They did look a bit similar.
But he didn't think much about it. He was just curious that Jiang Yunze's daughter looked like him.
It's incredible.
However, the little guy's next words petrified him.
"Uncle Cui, let me tell you a secret."
"What secret?"
Miaomiao took the tea in front of Cui Yan away, fearing that he would spit it out.
Then she solemnly sat down opposite him and began to say, "I wasn't actually born by my mother. I was picked up by my mother. My mother is my adoptive mother, and Princess Yuqing is my biological mother. But my biological father is not Prince Consort Cao. Uncle Cui, do you understand?"
The air suddenly became stagnant.
The chirping of insects and birds outside the house became louder and louder.
“Pah…”
The bronze mirror fell with a crisp sound.
Cui Yan's heart skipped a beat and he froze in place.
He stared blankly at the little girl opposite him, her eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth...
Not even a single strand of hair was spared.
He asked with some difficulty: "Miaomiao, did you just say that Madam Lu is not your biological mother, but Princess Yuqing is?"
He had accidentally heard some rumors about Princess Yuqing.
There are various versions, but he actually doesn't quite believe them.
After all, he had witnessed with his own eyes the two of them being deeply in love and how Prince Consort Cao cared deeply for Yuqing.
As a man himself, he could see the admiration and possessiveness in Prince Consort Cao's eyes when he looked at the princess.
That's something you absolutely can't fake.
Moreover, they had a daughter together, and rumors circulated that she was born to a concubine and switched with another.
He also didn't believe it.
How could a princess, surrounded by servants, not even know that her child had been switched?
It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that rumors are just rumors, just like him.
Not many people believe it.
Everyone would rather believe that it was an accident, that Princess Yuqing was just unlucky and lost both her husband and daughter.
But now this child actually came to tell him that she was Yuqing and his child.
The key point is that this child really looks like him and Yuqing.
Cui Yan felt his head buzzing and his thoughts were in a mess.
Jiang Miaomiao nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, the princess is my biological mother...my father is unknown..."
After she finished speaking, she felt Uncle Cui's gaze on her was so fiery, as if it was going to burn her.
It made her a little nervous.
I asked softly, "Uncle Cui, would you like some water?"
Seeing that Uncle Cui didn't react, she brought back the tea she had just taken away to calm Uncle Cui down, as he must be scared.
Suddenly a lively girl appears, and anyone who encounters her will be scared.
Got to give him some time.
Cui Yan took the tea brought by Miaomiao and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he staggered to his feet, told her to go find the princess, and rushed out the door.
Just left like that!
Jiang Miaomiao stared at the door in amazement.
What's going on?
Was he scared away by her?
Or maybe Uncle Cui didn't believe her at all and went to the princess to confirm it?
I didn't expect Uncle Cui to react like this.
But it should be confirmed.
Both of them are too proud, and neither is willing to compromise for the other. They should take this opportunity to make things clear face to face and clear up the misunderstanding.
Uncle Cui should be able to give her an explanation when he comes back.
Do I have to call him daddy then?
Miaomiao happily took Xier for a stroll in the yard, and finally strolled back to Princess Rong'an's yard.
Sister Yuan was taking a nap, so I didn't disturb her.
I waited all afternoon, until it was dark, until it was time to go to bed.
Still no wait for Uncle Cui to come back.
Without waiting any longer, Miaomiao climbed onto the bed and prepared to sleep.
I changed into my own nightgown, with Jiujiu beside me on my pillow and Xier on the couch in the outer room.
She is actually a little picky about her bed and not used to it.
I still miss my mother a little.
But thinking that this is my father's home, I will definitely have to visit here often in the future.
So I closed my eyes in peace.
Soon his breathing became even and he fell asleep.
evening.
Dusk fell.
The sky gradually darkened.
A breeze blew by, sweeping away the summer heat.
Princess Yuqing's sedan chair came out of the palace and was about to change to a carriage.
Just as he was about to get on the carriage, he was stopped by a hand, "Yuqing, follow me."
The man's voice was low.
Although she could not see the person's face clearly with only a few dim lights in the servants' hands, Princess Yuqing recognized the person just by the voice.
"Cui Yan, what are you going to do?"
Princess Yuqing felt a little tired and was too lazy to argue with Cui Yan.
Then he followed him into the carriage.
"Just follow me, I'll take you to see someone." Cui Yan felt a little anxious.
Because he had been waiting for a whole day.
After leaving Cui's house, he went straight to the princess's house. Not seeing her, he turned to Madam Lu next door to seek the truth.
Madam Lu told him everything about Miaomiao.
I also specifically told him Miaomiao's birth date and told him that she was born full-term.
And tell him every detail of Miaomiao's life from birth to the present.
His mood now is very complicated.
There is excitement, regret, and heartache, but the most overwhelming feeling is guilt.
When the guard saw his master being taken away, he was willing to leave and was about to step forward when he was stopped by Nanny Feng.
They were all very tactful and followed at a close distance.
