Chapter 328 The Prodigal Princess
In early summer, grass and trees grow tall.
A hundred flowers vie for fragrance and beauty.
Spring goes and summer comes, and all things are full of vitality.
Despite his reluctance to leave home and his sister, Jiang Ziyan is preparing for a long journey.
The time he had agreed to meet with his mentor had actually passed more than a month ago.
Can't delay any longer.
The teacher is a person who keeps his promises very much.
If we don't go back to Jiangzhou soon, our teacher will get angry.
A few days before his departure, he planned to visit the Cui family.
Actually, it's nothing important. I just wanted to ask my mentor's sons if there's anything I should bring along.
I sent a visiting card and only received a reply yesterday.
Unexpectedly, the person who replied to him was Prime Minister Cui.
Jiang Ziyan was a little flustered.
I've heard that Prime Minister Cui is a man of high rank and great power, upright and incorruptible, rarely smiles, and is not interested in women; he is also known for his aloof and cold nature.
The court officials were not only afraid of the mouths of the censors, but even more afraid of the words of Prime Minister Cui.
The downfall of the Qi family was largely due to the machinations of Prime Minister Cui. Jiang Ziyan even suspected that the evidence of the Qi family's alliance with Prince Su was likely his doing.
With the Qi family, this malignant tumor, removed, Jiang Ziyan felt more at ease leaving the capital.
He wanted to go and express his gratitude, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
The boy felt both anticipation and trepidation.
It can be said that Prime Minister Choi is his role model and the kind of person he wants to become in the future.
However, his visit was not for official business, but only for personal reasons, so it was bound to be a little awkward at their first meeting.
After thinking it over, I decided to bring my younger sister along.
There's no such thing as awkwardness when my younger sister is around.
But why did my sister go to the princess's residence again?
It's like she grew up in a princess's mansion.
He's either going to freeload a meal, or on his way to freeload a meal.
Ultimately, some destinies cannot be prevented.
This morning.
Lu Qingyao and Xiuxiu went out early in the morning.
Because Old Madam Mu sent someone to invite her to the Duke's Mansion to help Mu Qianxue prepare her dowry and handle the wedding arrangements.
Madam Lu and Madam Mu were very close friends.
The Mu family had done the Lu family a great favor, so Mother went to help without hesitation, and all the female members of the Lu family who could go also went.
Jiang Miaomiao and her second brother were left at home.
As if she had received the news, Princess Yuqing sent someone to pick up Miaomiao early in the morning.
The little girl and her beloved pet became frequent visitors to the princess's residence.
The servants treated her with utmost respect and obeyed her every command.
This gave Xiao Miaomiao the illusion that she was also a mistress of the princess's mansion.
"Princess Aunt, you are so beautiful!" Jiang Miaomiao exclaimed, admiring Princess Yuqing's beautiful face.
The princess seems to look even better these days; she's in a good mood, has a healthy complexion, and smiles a lot.
She was radiant.
The little guy was completely mesmerized.
"Cough cough..." Suddenly, Princess Yuqing choked on a mouthful of water.
Oh my god! They're so cute!
Her little one has such a sweet tongue, it's so sweet it melts your heart.
Princess Yuqing smiled with delight, hugging and kissing the little girl again and again, refusing to let go.
"Miaomiao is beautiful too, she will definitely be even more beautiful than her aunt in the future."
Her daughter will surely surpass her.
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
Why is the princess so happy? Has no one ever praised her before?
She's so beautiful, it shouldn't be like this.
"Princess Aunt, your bracelet is digging into my back." Jiang Miaomiao twisted and turned, trying to break free from the princess's embrace.
Well, the princess seemed a bit agitated and emotional.
He would hold her tightly all the time, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.
Somewhat scary.
Upon hearing this, Princess Yuqing withdrew her hand, and her jade pendants jingled.
The dazzling jewelry made Miao Miao's eyes dazzle. She stroked the white jade bracelet that had just been digging into her back and sighed, "Auntie's bracelet is so beautiful."
Princess Yuqing was taken aback, and quickly took the bracelet off her wrist, saying, "I'm giving it to Miaomiao."
Jiang Miaomiao: "Auntie's hairpin is pretty."
"Give it to you."
"The earrings are beautiful too."
"Give it to you."
……
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
A princess is a princess, so elegant!
The little girl shook her head like a rattle-drum, "It's too heavy, I can't wear it."
"Don't you like it? If you don't like it, Auntie will take you to find something else." Princess Yuqing took her to every corner of the princess's mansion and said she would take her to see the treasures.
Then he took her to a big house.
There were rocking horses, all twelve of them representing the Chinese zodiac, all sorts of kites, and even swings to swing on...
It's like an ancient version of an amusement park.
"Does Miaomiao like this place?" Princess Yuqing cupped her daughter's chubby little face in her hands, looking at her with expectant eyes.
I was afraid my little girl wouldn't like it.
Jiang Miaomiao nodded, "I like it."
She felt that the princess had collected all the wonders and oddities in the world.
These are all things that kids like.
Even if you don't like it, you have to like it; you can't let the princess down.
But wasn't the princess being too kind to her?
My mother said that one should not accept rewards without merit.
But these days, she has received all the gifts from the princess, and her mother has actually accepted them all and even found a box to put them in.
It's just weird.
"Auntie, are all these for me?"
"They're all yours, all rare and precious items collected by your Uncle Prince Jing." Princess Yuqing looked at her with a smile.
Uncle became maternal uncle.
Could the princess be hallucinating because she misses her daughter so much?
"It's Uncle Jing, not my maternal uncle," Jiang Miaomiao corrected.
“Yes, yes, yes, uncle or maternal uncle are both fine. Actually… you can also call him little uncle.” Princess Yuqing smiled and patted the little girl’s head.
No wonder he's only studied for a few days; he can already read and write literal words.
She simply couldn't take it anymore.
I was just about to find an opportunity to tell the little guy that his mother wasn't his biological mother, but that he was the daughter of a princess.
Several times he was about to speak, but he swallowed the words back.
Because she felt that her daughter's closeness to her wasn't genuine.
There's a hint of ingratiation in it.
But then I thought about it and it seemed unbelievable that such a young child could already read people's expressions.
It must be because the Lu family mother and son had a very hard life in the past, and had to rely on others and be mindful of their moods in their hometown of Jiangzhou. The little guy must have been influenced by what he saw and heard.
Thinking about all this, she began to feel sorry for her daughter again.
"Miaomiao, your aunt has the best and most numerous treasures in the whole world." Princess Yuqing said, then led the little girl to the storeroom.
The room was filled with calligraphy and paintings, precious jade artifacts, coral and agate, and everything imaginable.
Princess Yuqing: "Miaomiao, what do you like? Auntie will give it to you."
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
My first impression was that this princess was a bit extravagant; she must have too much money to spend, so she was giving it away everywhere.
The little guy's eyes darted around, and he grinned, saying, "I like them all."
Princess Yuqing: ...
This kid is getting a little too demanding.
