Chapter 289 Being Neighbors
Leave the court.
Out of the palace.
Prince Jing prepared to go directly to the princess's mansion.
Because the secret guards he sent to Jiangzhou came back to report.
The imperial sister actually sent a team of people to protect Miaomiao's family and escorted them back to the capital city thousands of miles away.
The key point is that he also took the guard token of his palace and left under his name.
What a fool of the imperial sister! Can’t she just discuss it with him openly?
However, the imperial sister was willing to spend so much effort. I think she was impatient and asked someone to investigate Miaomiao's background herself.
There is no doubt that Miaomiao is her biological daughter.
The image of the little girl appeared in King Jing's mind.
Sitting under the wisteria tree, gnawing on a roasted chicken leg while shaking his calves.
The look of riding the little white wolf and strolling around.
The look of him chattering to the little red bird and the white wolf.
Can't wait to see the little girl.
However, it would be inconvenient to go there rashly now.
Come to think of it, it’s been a year since I last saw those three siblings.
He also learned from Yan Huan that Jiang Zifeng had only been in the capital for three days when he followed Duke Shen to go on the expedition.
I still remember that four years ago in the dilapidated temple, the fat little boy told him about his ambitions.
He wanted to fight on the battlefield like his grandfather.
Now I have finally got what I wanted.
The little fat boy is no longer fat, but has become a handsome young man.
It would be fine for the young man to join the army, but even though he passed the examination to become a scholar, pursuing a career in officialdom was really not suitable for him.
He is too straightforward and speaks bluntly.
It is completely impossible to deal with the twists and turns of civil officials, and it is easy to offend people and be framed.
This was the most profound experience he had since attending the morning court.
Those court officials are more cunning than a sieve.
Compared with Jiang Zifeng, his younger brother Jiang Ziyan is more suitable for official career.
The young man had a very sharp mind.
If he hadn't secretly found Yan Huan and they hadn't found the palace, there wouldn't have been such a wonderful scene this morning.
I'm afraid that Minister Qi's career has reached its peak.
Now no one will dare to bully Miaomiao and her daughter anymore.
While Prince Jing was pondering, the carriage arrived at the princess's mansion.
The princess hasn't gone out these days, and I don't know what she's busy with.
He asked the servants, "Where is your master?"
"In the backyard, feeding...feeding the sheep?"
"Feeding the sheep?" King Jing felt that he had heard something shocking.
Princess Daliang is actually feeding sheep! !
Walking towards the back garden of the princess's mansion, you will see that the flowerbed that was originally planted with peonies has become a place to raise sheep.
The peonies were pulled out and the ground was covered with lawn.
Three or five sheep were wandering around leisurely inside.
The imperial sister was holding a handful of grass, standing on tiptoe and stretching out her hand to feed the sheep with great interest.
King Jing was a little dazed.
When she was in Jiangzhou, little Miaomiao had nothing to do and liked to feed the sheep in her backyard.
Looking at the situation, no one would believe that they were not mother and daughter.
But the sheep seemed a little afraid of her and didn't dare to come near her.
King Jing couldn't help but laugh, "Royal sister, if you act like this, the sheep will think you are trying to lure it over and kill it."
Princess Yuqing: ...
When I turned around, I saw my younger brother with a playful look on his face.
She rolled her eyes at him.
After washing his hands, he sat back in the pavilion and continued reading and drinking tea.
"Royal sister, you can actually still concentrate on reading?"
Prince Jing followed and, seeing that his sister had no intention of paying attention, he took the book from her and asked, "Sister, are you mad that I didn't tell you about Miaomiao?"
"What do you think?"
Princess Yuqing picked up the book and hit him on the head.
Among all the princes, this fifth brother, who was born of the same mother, was the closest to her and had been following her like her little tail since he was a child.
In the past, people would tell us almost everything they knew.
Since returning from Jiangzhou, his temperament has become much calmer, and his mind has also become more profound.
She always felt that her fifth brother was hiding something from her.
And this time, even though he knew the whereabouts of the child, he kept making excuses to her.
King Jing personally poured a cup of tea and apologized, "Imperial sister, I'm not afraid that you'll be anxious, I want to wait until Miaomiao returns to the capital before I tell you."
But now that I have returned, the big problem is how to recognize it and keep it by my side.
The mother and daughter have been together for four years, and Mrs. Lu regards Miaomiao as her own daughter and cherishes her as her life.
Look at the little girl's attitude towards Jiang Yunze. I heard that she simply refused to acknowledge him and said that he was not worthy of being a father if he gave birth to a child but didn't raise him.
Although he also enjoyed listening to it.
But after all, he is still young, and he may not understand even if I explain it to him. What if he says such words to the imperial sister?
I'm afraid she will be mad to death.
Moreover, given the current situation, even if she admitted her identity, it would probably not clear her name.
The princess would definitely not want it to be in the name of the late Prince Consort Cao.
She also refused to reveal who the child's biological father was, so it was impossible for her to trace her ancestral roots.
After all, it's not a good time to admit it.
I believe that the imperial sister is also clear about this.
Princess Yuqing raised her eyebrows, chuckled, and looked at King Jing, "Xiaowu, please help me think about how I can see Miaomiao every day."
Her heart was filled with joy.
Especially after seeing Miaomiao on the street that day, I wished I could see her every day.
But she is not like Mu Jiangyue, who has been good friends with Lu Qingyao since childhood and is known to almost everyone in the capital.
Even though there is a huge gap in their status now, no one would say that Lu Qingyao is trying to curry favor with her. They would only say that the sisters have a deep affection for each other and that Miss Mu San is loyal and righteous.
And she, as the eldest princess, frequently summoned the daughter of the guilty minister for no reason.
It won't matter to her.
But what will probably accompany Lu Qingyao is endless gossip and rumors. She doesn't know how those noble ladies will frame her.
How could they stay in Beijing with peace of mind?
Princess Yuqing's eyes turned and she said, "How about I hold a flower viewing banquet, invite Mu Jiangyue over, and ask her to bring Madam Lu and Miaomiao along?"
King Jing smiled but said nothing.
"What's wrong?"
Princess Yuqing knew it was not a good idea when she saw her brother's expression.
"Royal sister, given Madam Lu's personality, she will ask Madam Yan to help with the gifts. As for the people, she probably won't come to visit." Maybe she will even try to avoid him.
I was a neighbor of Madam Lu, so I knew her a little bit.
When others see the royal family, they try every means to curry favor with them.
I wish that family could stay away from them as far as possible.
What he actually wanted to say was that if she met someone like the imperial sister, she would probably stay as far away from her as possible, live her own life, and would not even think of coming up to curry favor with her.
Princess Yuqing was displeased when she heard this. "Are you afraid that I will eat her?"
Looking at Lu Qingyao's actions, she doesn't seem like a timid person.
King Jing pursed his lips and smiled faintly.
It’s because they are afraid that you will eat them.
All of Prince Cao's family, young and old, suddenly went to meet the King of Hell, which makes people think a lot.
With Madam Lu's intelligence.
I'm afraid that my sister, the notorious eldest princess, is already on her list of dangerous people.
There is really no need to rush into recognizing a girl.
Prince Jing put down his teacup and said to Princess Yuqing seriously, "Royal sister, if you want to see Miaomiao every day, there is a way."
"What method?" Princess Yuqing's eyes lit up and she held her brother's arm tightly.
King Jing cleared his throat and said, "As her neighbor, Miaomiao likes to climb trees and pick fruits, especially cherries. She likes to sit on the tree and eat them while picking them."
