Chapter 338: Mutual Appreciation
“Huahuahua…”
“Wuwuwu…”
It started raining outside, and the sound of the rain gradually became louder.
Jiang Miaomiao burst into tears in the house.
The sound of rain outside couldn't drown out her cries.
The reason she cried was because her second brother left without saying goodbye.
Parting is a very common thing in modern times.
But in ancient times, separation meant that people might not see each other for three to five years, and even writing letters back and forth would take several months.
I don’t know when we will meet again.
She was worried and angry.
I was so angry that my second brother just left without even saying goodbye.
No wonder he held her tightly and chattered a lot before leaving, but unfortunately she didn't listen to a word he said.
Princess Yuqing was a little confused.
Miaomiao, who was originally playing with the little red bird, suddenly started to make a fuss and wanted to go home to find her brother.
I had no choice but to take her back to Lu Garden myself.
When he returned and asked the servants, he learned that Jiang Ziyan had left the capital and gone to Jiangzhou.
He left three days ago.
After hearing this, the little guy couldn't stop crying, and cried so sadly.
No matter how delicious or fun things are, she can't be coaxed.
She wanted to cry along with him.
Helpless, he had to ask someone to invite Lu Qingyao back.
"Miaomiao, don't cry. Your second brother said that he will write to you as soon as he arrives in Jiangzhou." Lu Qingyao didn't know how to persuade her daughter.
Sooner or later, you will cry.
I didn't do much to persuade him.
Mu Yudazhi, if you have bad emotions, it will be okay if you vent them.
If you feel sad, just cry it out and you'll feel better.
People always need a way to vent.
Princess Yuqing saw Miaomiao crying so sadly for the first time. She was so distressed that she nudged Lu Qingyao with her elbow and said, "Please try to comfort her. What if she gets hurt by crying?"
Even the white wolf was rubbing against the little girl's feet, as if to comfort her.
And the woman Lu Qingyao was so sad to see her little girl crying.
I can remain indifferent.
Lu Qingyao held her daughter in her arms, wiped her tears, and said softly, "Miaomiao, mother received a letter from your eldest brother yesterday. Do you want to hear it?"
Jiang Miaomiao stopped immediately.
"Listen." He looked at his mother with tears in his eyes and nodded obediently.
Lu Qingyao got up and went back to the house. After a while, she came back with a letter and read it to her little girl.
Most of what they talked about were what they saw and heard in the frontier, as well as greetings to their families.
The little guy was listening intently.
Just... coax it like this?
Princess Yuqing also leaned over curiously.
Then her eyes widened.
The letter is still a genuine letter.
But it was not what Lu Qingyao said.
this……
This was completely made up by Lu Qingyao herself.
But the little girl really stopped crying. She sat quietly, staring at her mother's nonsense.
Lu Qingyao finished reading and put the letter away. "Miaomiao, your brothers told you to practice your handwriting so that you can write to them every month."
"Okay." Little Miaomiao nodded obediently with a smile on her face.
These words sound like they came from my second brother.
Princess Yuqing opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, and suddenly she felt a sense of admiration for the woman in front of her.
I have to say that Lu Sanniang is quite good at coaxing children.
It seems she needs to study hard.
The little girl is too energetic. She gets up early and goes to bed late.
She would wake her up before daybreak and help her comb her hair and dress herself. It was something that a maid could do, but she insisted on asking her to do it herself.
The excuse is that she should learn to be a good mother and not rely on others.
I was busy all day and couldn't sleep at night.
I actually like listening to gossip.
He insisted on asking her to tell him the gossip in the palace.
The more I listened, the more excited I became.
Princess Yuqing herself was tortured beyond recognition, with black and blue marks all around her eyes.
She hugged her daughter and then said to Lu Qingyao, "Sanniang, I'll leave Miaomiao to you. If there's nothing else, I'll go back home first."
Lu Qingyao was stunned for a moment.
Sanniang...
She hadn't heard this name for many years.
At home, her father, brothers and mother all called her Yaoer, and only outside would others call her Sanniang.
But that was only before the marriage. After the marriage, everyone called her Mrs. Jiang.
Princess Yuqing called her that.
It seems that he has really become familiar with her, and even his previous princess airs have disappeared.
Lu Qingyao took the princess's hand and said sincerely, "Princess, please stay for dinner. Miaomiao doesn't want you to leave."
"Okay... okay." Princess Yuqing originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw the square-faced woman bringing in plates of dishes.
Then she looked at the little guy's expression as he looked at her eagerly.
I couldn't help but agree.
Princess Yuqing looked at the square-faced woman.
I've seen her a few times, she must be Lu Qingyao's adopted sister.
The little girl said that the food her aunt cooked was especially delicious, even the chef at Yipinju couldn’t compare to it.
Then she became a little curious.
There were only five dishes on the table, just one more than the number of people.
He didn't say that he wanted to add another dish because she left some rice.
She and Miaomiao both had four dishes at the Princess Mansion, and these were the ones left over by the little one.
Seeing Princess Yuqing in a daze, Lu Qingyao directly picked up a piece of mutton and a piece of dried bamboo shoots for the princess.
"These are all from our home. Miaomiao fed the sheep herself. Princess, please try them. They are all home-cooked dishes. When our family eats, we don't need those exquisite cold dishes. A few hot dishes like this are enough. The key is that Miaomiao likes them."
Miaomiao loves to eat a few words, Lu Qingyao said it very seriously.
When Princess Yuqing heard this, her curiosity grew even stronger.
After tasting it, I was pleasantly surprised.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that they are just home-cooked dishes. Once you try them, you will find that they taste really good.
The dishes made by the kitchen in her princess mansion looked good, but in terms of taste, they were still far inferior to this.
No wonder my little girl looks embarrassed every time I ask her to eat more vegetables.
But now looking at her, she seems to be eating with great relish.
I don’t know if it’s because Lu Sanniang is here, or if she just loves to eat.
Anyway, I'm not picky about food.
I always feel that this girl knows how to judge people by their appearance.
Jiang Miaomiao saw that the princess was eating very slowly, very princess-like, and was still waiting for Nanny Feng to serve her the food.
If we dawdle any longer, they will have finished all the food.
Home is not like the princess's mansion. The table is too big and there are too many dishes. You have to wait for someone to serve the food before eating, and you can only take a few bites of each dish.
It seemed like a waste to her, let alone letting her mother see it.
They are people who have experienced hardship. My mother and aunt have even worked there themselves, so they know very well how hard it is to grow every grain of rice.
For these noble ladies.
It was just a few lines of light handwriting printed on the pages of a book.
I saw that my mother and aunt slowed down their eating speed. After all, they were entertaining guests for dinner, and it wouldn't make sense for the host to finish the dishes first.
That would be so rude.
Jiang Miaomiao took the initiative to pick up some food for Princess Yuqing, "Mother, these are bamboo shoots sent from Jiangzhou. They are delicious."
"This is dried mushroom sent from Jiangzhou. It's delicious too."
"This is the bacon that my mother and aunt cured themselves. Please try it."
Soon, the princess's bowl was full.
When she looked up again, she saw Princess Yuqing looking at her with her red phoenix eyes.
This... is this touching?
Jiang Miaomiao suddenly felt that there was nothing good about being a princess.
Although he has a father, a mother and brothers, they all treat each other as separate and he probably only sees them once every few months.
Not even as good as her.
I guess she was too sad because her second brother passed away today.
After all, it was the one who gave her this good appearance, so Jiang Miaomiao felt a little sympathetic.
"Mother, I think you usually eat too lonely. Why don't you come and eat with us from now on?"
"Is it okay?" Princess Yuqing subconsciously looked up and asked Lu Qingyao.
After the meal, she liked Miaomiao even more. Her daughter is really a little cotton-padded jacket. She knows how to care for people at such a young age.
"Of course...." Lu Qingyao smiled awkwardly.
She had no objection; it was just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks.
But the one who is in trouble is Xiuxiu.
She pulled Lu Qingyao aside and said, "Sister, it's really troublesome for these princesses and princesses to have a meal. We can't afford to serve them."
From the perspective of the scene, Prince Jing is considered to be a casual person, but he is not an easy person to serve.
"Don't be nervous. I see that the princess ate very well today. You can just arrange her meals the same way as today in the future." Lu Qingyao patted Xiuxiu's shoulder.
I didn’t expect that Xiuxiu, who is fearless, would be afraid of cooking for the princess.
Besides, she doesn't have to do it herself. The cooking skills of the chef at home have improved a lot under her training.
Okay, Xiuxiu agreed reluctantly.
After the meal, Princess Yuqing no longer wanted to leave.
Lu Qingyao invited her to the pavilion for tea. Since they had a daughter in common, they were now in the same boat.
"Princess, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Do you have any plans to return to the Jiang family?" Princess Yuqing asked straight to the point.
She shouldn't have any say in other people's affairs.
But things are different now.
She specifically asked people to pay attention to the Jiang family's every move.
Minister Jiang is not a good person. He has been able to escape from the mud time and time again without getting hurt, and he doesn't play by the rules.
Now, his father is using him again.
Although the Qi family deserved the punishment, people like him who were so self-protective and took advantage of others' misfortunes were not good people.
Maybe he also knows about what happened to the Lu family.
This person is very dangerous.
And there is Miss Jiang San from his family.
I heard that her mother Qi Caiwei and the Qi family's legitimate daughter, Qi Cairen, who has now been demoted, have always been at odds with each other.
But she was having an affair with the tenth princess born to Qi Cairen.
Xiao Shi was very much loved by the emperor's father. It was probably because of Xiao Shi that the emperor did not banish her mother to the cold palace.
It’s okay that Jiang Zijin is liked by Xiao Shi, after all, she is his cousin.
But this girl is actually liked by the noble ladies in the capital, and is almost a guest of honor for the ladies in the back houses of various mansions.
Especially Princess Chen, who invited her to her house within a few days.
It seems that he is not an easy person to deal with.
Lu Qingyao knew Princess Yuqing's concerns, so she said, "Jiang Yunze and I divorced a long time ago and have completely cut off all ties. The only ones still connected to the Jiang family are Jiangzhou and my two sons. But don't worry, Princess. Miaomiao has never been included in the Jiang family tree, so she should not be considered a descendant of the Jiang family. She has nothing to do with Jiang Yunze."
Princess Yuqing nodded slightly. She didn't expect Lu Qingyao to be so thoughtful and not let Miaomiao be included in the Jiang family tree.
This saves her from having to find a way to change it.
"How did your daughter die? Was it Jiang Yunze?" She knew that asking this question would be like exposing someone's wounds, but she still couldn't help but want to find out.
Lu's daughter was gone, but she found her own daughter.
She felt the pain of losing her daughter. If it was really Jiang Yunze who killed her, she didn't mind letting him die.
It also can be regarded as a repayment for her kindness in raising and caring for Miaomiao.
Lu Qingyao was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the princess to ask this question. It was like two friends who had known each other for a long time were sharing their feelings with each other.
"He died of illness. When I heard that something happened to the Lu family, I had a miscarriage and gave birth prematurely. The child was very weak when he was born and died within two months. They say that a blessed person does not want to enter an unblessed place. Maybe the child did not want to stay in the world for too long." Lu Qingyao burst into tears after she finished speaking.
Princess Yuqing didn't expect it was because of the Lu family...
Her father is becoming more and more confused.
She doesn't value others and prefers the flattering and ambitious Prince Su.
Now, the first person to rebel against you is you.
She was not one to persuade others, so she handed him a handkerchief and said, "Life and death are determined by fate. Don't be too sad. The little guy might have already ascended to heaven."
After saying this, she felt that it would be better not to say it.
Both of them were silent.
Lu Qingyao broke the silence, "Your Highness, there's more to tell me than this, right?"
Princess Yuqing nodded, almost forgetting the important matter.
"Sanniang, I'm sure you've been out lately and heard a lot of gossip, right?"
Lu Qingyao smiled but said nothing.
She heard the rumors, but she really didn't have time to care about them.
After the Qi family fell, rumors about her and Jiang Yunze never stopped.
Some say that Jiang Yunze is treacherous, while others say that Jiang Yunze endured hardships and endured hardships, which is why he was able to get close to the Qi family.
Some say that she is ungrateful, and that the Lu family was only vindicated because Jiang Yunze sacrificed his own family for the sake of justice.
There are also rumors that Jiang Yunze's recently reunited mistress is interfering and is unwilling to let the two get back together.
Even worse, some people even said she was unfaithful to her husband.
She wanted to laugh when she heard it and asked someone to deal with it.
But rumors are like infectious diseases, spreading from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and have almost become a topic of conversation after dinner in teahouses and restaurants, and there are people behind the scenes fanning the flames.
It is difficult to contain.
Seeing that Lu Qingyao didn't say anything, Princess Yuqing became a little anxious. It seemed that she knew the answer.
I know but I still don’t think of a solution.
She is not anxious herself, but others are anxious for her.
If she had found her daughter earlier, the four of them wouldn't have suffered so much.
"Don't you think about what kind of person Jiang Yunze is? He deliberately spreads rumors over and over again. He has ulterior motives. He wants to clear his name, and seeing that your Lu family is recovering, he wants to reconcile with you. But he doesn't show up himself, so he wants to force you to go back and beg him. Shameless and despicable bastard, just say the word, and I will definitely vent my anger for you."
Princess Yuqing spoke with indignation.
Lu Qingyao looked at her in disbelief. Although Princess Yuqing was a little spoiled, her personality was quite likable.
She asked curiously, "What does the princess want to do?"
Princess Yuqing raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't worry about it. Wait for good news from me."
"Your Highness... the Jiang family members are innocent after all..."
Knowing Princess Yuqing's style of doing things, Lu Qingyao was still a little worried.
There is no official in the court who doesn't have some handles on him. It is possible that this princess has some handles on Jiang Yunze.
I'm afraid that his mistake will affect others.
"I know my limits." Princess Yuqing stood up and was about to leave, but after taking a few steps she turned back.
"There's one more thing you might be interested to know. Jiang Yunze's steward is Prince Chen's man, and the evidence exposing the Qi family's connection with Prince Su was most likely the work of Prince Chen."
