Chapter 166 Discovering Grandma's Identity
The hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Xiao Ji's fingertips unconsciously rubbed the edge of the page, making a slight rustling sound. He looked at Qing Wu and then at the handwriting on the book.
"My great aunt is also sixty-three this year." The reason he remembered this was because his great aunt was ten years older than his father.
His voice was a little tense, "My great-aunt has been traveling abroad for many years and only recently returned to Beijing..."
"Grandma is sixty-three years old. She has been away for many years and only recently returned to Beijing..."
Qing Wu continued in a daze, her heart pounding. She couldn't believe her own guess and grabbed Xiao Ji's hand and asked, "What's the princess's name?"
"Xiao Yuluan."
After the words fell, the two fell silent again, and at the same time they recalled the name their grandmother had given them that day, which contained the word "Yu".
There is a jade character...
How could there be so many coincidences in the world?
"We will leave the palace now and visit the princess."
Xiao Ji made a prompt decision and was about to take Qing Wu out, but Qing Wu held him back and shook his head slowly.
"No, I can't go."
Before Xiao Ji could ask, Qing Wu said, "Grandma didn't tell us her identity, and she never recognized you. There must be a reason for that."
Yes, even though she hasn't verified it yet, Qingwu has already confirmed that Princess Zhenguo Mingyi is her grandmother.
The moment the two were connected, Qingwu's many puzzles about her grandmother were resolved. She told her about the capital, about watching polo, and about many things that ordinary people could never relate to. She took her to read the court newspapers and learn about national affairs...
These weren't things an ordinary girl would do, but when it came to Princess Mingyi, it all made sense. A grandma like that could only be nurtured by a royal family.
Hearing Qing Wu's firm tone, Xiao Ji was stunned for a long time, and then murmured: "No wonder my great-aunt spoke for me as soon as she returned to the capital. I was still wondering why she cared so much about me when I had never met her before..."
"So," Xiao Ji looked up at Qing Wu, tears welling up in his peach blossom eyes, "So it's all because of you, Qing Qing..."
At this moment, Xiao Ji didn't know how to describe his feelings. He looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, and his chest was filled with indescribable emotions. Suddenly, he felt that fate had been very kind to him.
When he was deposed because of his broken leg, he was depressed, thinking that he would be lame for the rest of his life and would find it difficult to return to the court.
But fate brought him Qingwu when he was at his lowest point. This tough and gentle girl not only brought hope to his life, and fell in love with him, but also unknowingly paved a way for him to return to the court.
That was Princess Mingyi, the guardian of the country. Just because he was born in the royal family, he understood better how powerful this princess was back then. Even though she had been away from Beijing for twenty years, she still could not be underestimated.
Look, he just returned to the capital, and with just a few words, he was able to jump from the deposed crown prince to the position of prince. Who else in the world can do that?
Xiao Ji was not that confident. He did not think that Princess Zhenguo was speaking for him because she liked him more.
That night in the corridor of the main hall of the palace, the scene of the grandmother and grandson touching each other's faces, hugging each other tightly, and Qingwu acting coquettishly to her grandmother once again appeared in Xiao Ji's mind.
They are so close, it is obvious that grandma helps him because she loves him.
She helped him out of love for her little disciple, but even that was enough to make Xiao Ji burst into tears of gratitude.
"I am so lucky..." His voice trembled slightly, and his fingertips gently stroked Qingwu's cheek, "Qingqing!" Tears fell drop by drop from those peach blossom eyes, wetting the long eyelashes, and the wet eyelashes were frowned together.
Qingwu saw that the corners of his eyes were red as if they were dyed with rouge. His peach blossom eyes, which were always smiling on weekdays, were now wet, like obsidian wet by rain, and the wetness made him particularly endearing.
The young man was so moved that he was confessing his true feelings to her, but Qingwu was only familiar with his grandmother who was a traveling doctor, and had never realized how powerful his grandmother was as the eldest princess.
Seeing him crying so pitifully and adorably, Qing Wu's mind wandered for a moment. Feeling ashamed, he quickly collected his thoughts and heard Xiao Ji repeat in a low voice: "I am so lucky to have you, Qingqing..."
After saying this, Xiao Ji could no longer hold back and hugged Qing Wu in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, tears dripping down his chin onto his clothes.
He hadn't noticed Qingwu's sudden change of heart. He just wanted to pour out all the affection in his heart. His voice was choked with sobs and could barely form a sentence: "In the past... I just thought it was bad luck... but I didn't know that God had reserved the best for me..."
The arms that were hugging her kept tightening, and Qingwu finally realized the boy's turbulent emotions. The tears contained pure sincerity, which finally softened her heart and made it tremble slightly.
Qing Wu rubbed the tip of Xiao Ji's ear, and her own ears turned red as well.
"It's not that serious..." she said softly.
It is fortunate that the two met, but it would be an exaggeration to say that it was the best.
However, Xiao Ji thought that she didn't believe what he said, so he unconsciously exerted force with his tightly locked arms, so much so that Qing Wu almost couldn't breathe.
But when he heard Qingwu's uncomfortable groan, he quickly relaxed his arm, took a step back and stared into the girl's eyes.
"Don't you believe me?"
His face flushed, and the corners of his eyes were wet, but the girl opposite him just blushed, as if he was exaggerating too much. Xiao Ji couldn't help but grit his teeth, "I really want to cut my heart out to show you..."
But he couldn't really reveal his heart, so he could only take Qing Wu's hand and hold her hand tightly against his chest, "Qing Qing, really, the greatest luck in my life, Xiao Ji, is having you."
He was clearly planning to marry someone else, but later on he married Qingqing, who is beautiful and kind-hearted, and has the eldest princess as her grandmother. Is there anyone in the world luckier than him?
Xiao Ji's heart was beating violently in his chest. All the resentment and resentment he had felt before turned into endless gratitude at this moment.
He even felt that God took away his position as crown prince in order to send him better treasures, and Qingwu was the most precious compensation that fate gave him.
Such sincere and sweet words made Qingwu blush, and the same emotions surged in his heart.
Xiao Ji felt that the greatest luck in his life was meeting her, and so did she.
Qingwu, who was abandoned by her mother, sisters, brother and husband at the same time, suffered a huge mental trauma at that time. She did not collapse only because she had other support in her heart, but the pain was not ordinary.
Was her agreement to the identity swap a decadent compromise? Because she was so heartbroken that she felt that any life after the swap would be better than staying in the Song family.
Although Qing Wu was positive about facing the future, she still wondered on her first night in the Eastern Palace: what if the deposed Crown Prince was not as innocent as she thought? What if he had some hidden quirks...
But later, as they got along, she discovered that his mind was so pure and kind, and he valued friendship and loyalty. Then they were attracted to each other, fell in love with each other, and everything went incredibly smoothly. How could this not be considered lucky?
They were both lucky to meet each other.
