On the other side, Zhao Moyan and Li Xingyun had already arrived at the Prince's mansion. The gifts from the Third Prince were on the carriage. Zhao Moyan and Li Xingyun dismounted. Li Xingyun saw that Zhao Moyan didn't even glance at the gifts and was about to return to the mansion, so she said, "The gifts are already at the door, aren't you going to take a look?"
"Have the servants carry it to the other courtyard!" Zhao Moyan said, turning around before preparing to enter the mansion.
"Your Highness! Wait!" A voice all too familiar rang out. Zhao Moyan trembled slightly, and Li Xingyun also turned around in surprise to look at the carriage. The curtain was lifted, and a woman wearing a bamboo hat stepped out. The moment she gently lifted the hat, Zhao Moyan froze on the spot, because the woman had a face exactly like Tian Yu's. Everyone else present was also stunned, unable to believe their eyes. The woman got off the carriage, smiled, and bowed to Zhao Moyan, saying, "This humble woman, Xiaotian, greets the Prince of Zhenbei."
Hearing her melodious voice, Zhao Moyan instantly snapped back to reality. Even the voice sounded so similar. After a long while, Zhao Moyan calmed himself down and walked step by step to Xiaotian, saying in an icy tone, "Who are you? Who sent you?"
"Third...Third...Your Highness," Xiao Tian said timidly, frightened by his coldness.
"Go back to where you came from! Someone, take her back to her!" Zhao Moyan snapped out of his initial daze and angrily told the servants. Everyone was frightened by Zhao Moyan's sudden anger and didn't dare to look at him.
After saying that, he entered the palace without looking back. Xiao Tian started to cry softly, feeling wronged. When the nanny who brought her saw that Zhao Moyan had left, she quickly said to Li Xingyun, "My lord, we have come from afar. Could you please let us rest for a while before we leave?"
Li Xingyun was also shocked. He couldn't believe there were people in the world who looked so alike. Seeing Xiaotian's aggrieved look, he said to the butler, "Prepare a guest room for them to stay in first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
Li Xingyun caught up with Zhao Moyan and said, "The Third Prince meant well, why is he so angry?"
"I don't want to see her again. Get her out of here!"
"No, it's just that they look alike. Maybe it can be a symbol of something for Tangyuan."
He doesn't need it!
“It really looks similar, but the feeling is still different!” Li Xingyun said.
"No matter how much she resembles her, she's not her!" Although he almost didn't recognize her at first glance, he knew it wasn't Tian Yu the moment Xiao Tian moved.
The two entered the mansion, and as soon as they sat down, Li Xingyun continued, "Calm down first! I'll have her stay in the other courtyard for now, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. After all, she traveled a long way to get here."
Zhao Moyan angrily put down his teacup and said, "No! Leave now!" After saying that, he left for the other courtyard to prepare for Xiaotian to leave.
"You'd better think this through!" Li Xingyun shouted.
Reaching the gate of the villa, Zhao Moyan stood there with mixed feelings, not going in. After a long while, he clenched his fists, turned around, and went back, instructing the passing servants to keep an eye on them. Inside the villa, Xiao Tian was singing "Shuidiao Getou," a song Tian Yu had once sung. Her voice was melodious and deep, very similar to Tian Yu's version, yet not quite the same. The Third Prince had truly put his heart into it!
Tangyuan on the street was still pulling Tianyu along, hurrying on. Tianyu was exhausted and breathing heavily after walking for a long time. She shook off the two people pulling her and sat down against the wall by the roadside, saying, "Where exactly is your home? How much further is it?"
"We're almost there! We'll see it around the next turn. Let's hurry, Mom!"
"No! I can't walk anymore! Let me rest for a while!" Tian Yu shook her head, her face covered in sweat. She casually pulled open her collar to cool off, but seeing the three pairs of big eyes staring at her—though they were all teenagers, they were still boys—Tian Yu coughed lightly and straightened her clothes. Tang Yuan, knowing Tian Yu was hot, quickly stood in front of her to shield her from the sun. Tian Yu looked up at him and said, "What are you doing?"
"My mother said that girls shouldn't be exposed to direct sunlight, or they'll get freckles. I'm shielding her from the sun," Tangyuan said seriously.
Tian Yu laughed, pinched his nose, and said, "I wish I were really your mother."
"You are my mother, but I just forgot. Once you see your uncle, he will cure you," Tangyuan said with great certainty.
Hearing Tangyuan's words, Xu Ri quickly stood in front of Tian Yu to act as her sun, even fanning her with his clothes. Tian Yu looked at them speechlessly, not wanting to explain anymore. To make Tangyuan give up, Tian Yu could only say, "Fine! You'll give up once you see your uncle." After saying that, she stood up, patted her bottom, sighed, and said, "Let's go! Lead the way!"
The group finally arrived at the place Tangyuan had mentioned. Looking at the tall gate tower, the three characters "Zhenbei Wang" (King of Zhenbei) were very eye-catching. Tian Yu pointed at the gate plaque and asked tremblingly, "Don't tell me your father is a prince?"
"yes!"
"Then your mother is..."
“Naturally, she is my father’s queen, and the only one!” Tangyuan said earnestly.
After hearing this, Tian Yu chuckled for a long time, then grabbed Xu Ri and tried to run away, but Xuan Yu stopped her. Tian Yu laughed and said, "Good child, don't joke around. Impersonating a princess is a capital offense. I'm really not your mother!"
Xu Ri also felt that things had gone a bit too far, and looking at Tang Yuan, he didn't know what to do. After a long stalemate, Tang Yuan said, "Mother promised to come back with me and she can't go back on her word. And don't worry, my father won't kill you. I promise!"
"What's the use of your promise? You're just a little kid." Tian Yu muttered, thinking that this joke had gone too far. Of course, she knew that she couldn't be his mother, much less a princess. If she went in, would she be arrested and thrown into jail for impersonating a princess? Tian Yu subconsciously glanced at Xu Ri, and the two immediately reached a consensus, shaking off Tang Yuan and running away again. Tang Yuan called after them, "Mother! Mother!"
Xuan Yu had already seen through their trick. Xu Ri had only run a few steps when Xuan Yu blocked him, drew his sword and held it to his neck. Tian Yu turned around and saw that Xu Ri hadn't followed. She sighed helplessly and said, "I'm really not your mother! Please let me go!"
