Chapter 311 Tacit understanding
"Miaomiao, Zhizhi, stay for dinner."
Princess Yuqing had many delicious dishes prepared, and they were already on the table before she even asked.
They barely gave the two little ones a chance to refuse.
Zhizhi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
My mother and grandmother disliked extravagance, so the meals in each house and courtyard were made very simply according to their request.
It's just some simple home-style dishes.
When the whole family eats together, my aunt will ask the chef from Yipinju to prepare a more lavish meal.
So when she saw the princess's table full of delicious food, so incredibly abundant, her mouth was practically watering.
Jiang Miaomiao shook her head, "My mother will be worried if she can't wait for me to come back."
But his eyes were staring unfaithfully at the roast chicken.
Princess Yuqing was amused and personally served food to the two little girls, saying, "Eat without worry, I will send someone to tell your mother."
Looking at her daughter's well-behaved and adorable appearance, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart and longed to share every little detail about her child with that person.
She didn't even dare to tell Miaomiao, "I am the mother who gave birth to you."
She was afraid that Miaomiao might suddenly distance herself from her, or ask who her father was. After all, she was such a young child, and even if she told her, she might not understand.
She probably doesn't even know what a birth mother or adoptive mother is.
Let's wait a little longer, until it's a bit older.
Once she gets to know me better and we become closer, telling her will be a natural progression.
Moreover, the Crown Prince's second brother is still recovering from his illness, and there are still many people eyeing the throne.
If it doesn't work out, my fifth brother will definitely try to win it back; for every general's success is built on the bones of countless others.
She wouldn't let Miaomiao take risks with her.
What if we lose in the future...
She dared not think.
However, the Lu family is still helpless and alone. To gain a foothold in Kyoto, they need not only money but also power.
It's not unusual for a woman from the Great Liang to divorce and remarry.
She can't control who other people marry, but when Lu gets married, her husband's family must treat Miao Miao well.
She's determined to handle this.
into the night.
After the two little ones had eaten and drunk their fill, they lay down on the tatami mat and fell asleep.
In the end, it was Granny Feng who led a group of people to carry them back in a small sedan chair.
Before leaving, he said to Lu Qingyao very respectfully, "Madam Lu, you have raised Miss Miaomiao very well. The princess said that she is very envious of you for having such a clever and well-behaved daughter. If you have time, you can come to the princess's residence to sit and have a cup of tea with her."
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I don't know how to repay you. I will definitely visit you another day to express my gratitude." Lu Qingyao was referring to the cloth shop's business.
Granny Feng understood perfectly.
From dinner until dark, Lu Qingyao was extremely anxious, pacing around the room several times.
He was even distracted during dinner.
Hearing Granny Feng's words, she felt much more at ease.
To her, these words had two meanings.
One possibility is that she misunderstood; the princess simply liked Miaomiao and was reminded of her own daughter when she saw her.
Another point is that Princess Yuqing is indeed Miaomiao's birth mother, but she has no intention of going back now.
Let her continue raising it.
But she couldn't tell which one it was.
"Sister, what's wrong? You've been restless all afternoon?"
This afternoon, she personally cooked and made the wontons. My older sister used to love them, but today she only ate a few bites.
He doesn't look sick, but rather like he has something on his mind.
In the afternoon, she went to bring the little white wolf back and also to see Miaomiao and Zhizhi.
As a result, not only the two children, but even the little white wolf ate until his belly was bulging and was having a great time.
It is said that a mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles, but Miaomiao hasn't gone very far.
Besides, back in Jiangzhou, I often went to Prince Jing's and Grand Tutor Cui's residences for meals.
Lu Qingyao smiled and said, "I'm just a little worried about Miaomiao. I'm worried that she might scare Princess Yuqing with the little white wolf."
That's something she's genuinely worried about.
Interacting with members of the royal family is different from interacting with others. If you offend someone by saying the wrong thing when you interact with ordinary people, at most you will only lose some money.
Associating with royalty could easily cost you your life.
The two talked as they carried the child into the house.
Jiang Miaomiao was dazed and confused as she was carried down from the sedan chair and into her mother's arms, and now she was on her own big bed.
She felt a little hot, so she took off her hat and went back to sleep.
Lu Qingyao's gaze fell on the hat by the bed, and she felt as if she had been electrocuted.
She picked up the hat and examined it carefully under the candlelight.
Then, they dug out the long-forgotten swaddling clothes from the bottom of the box.
Compare them carefully under the light.
The fabric and the stitching really were made by the same person.
Although she had expected it, she was still somewhat flustered and at a loss when faced with the evidence laid out before her.
But she wanted to confirm one last thing, so she called Xi'er over and asked, "Xi'er, who gave this hat to Miaomiao?"
"It was Princess Yuqing who personally put it on the girl."
Lu Qingyao asked again, "Did you see who embroidered it?"
"It was also embroidered by Princess Yuqing. She's still embroidering a cloak for you, Miss. I think it's only half finished yet," Xi'er replied truthfully.
Lu Qingyao was holding two small items, but they felt incredibly heavy.
Princess Yuqing's thoughts are truly...
Putting aside the stitching, she specifically chose the same fabric as the swaddling clothes for the base.
He simply wanted to tell her that he already knew about Miao Miao's background.
Today, Granny Feng said those things again, so it seems she doesn't plan to acknowledge him back so soon.
She was happier than anyone else to have her child stay with her.
But that night...
Lu Qingyao tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.
He wondered whether he should return the swaddling clothes to Princess Yuqing.
Should we tell Miaomiao?
If not now, when will we say it?
Now that Miao Miao has found her biological mother, will she gradually drift away from her?
In short, she thought about many things that night.
I still haven't figured out the answer.
As soon as it was dawn, she took her hat and swaddling clothes to go find her son.
I'd like to hear his opinion.
Jiang Ziyan was already up early reading when he saw his mother rushing over, and he was a little curious.
"Yan'er, come inside and talk." Before Jiang Ziyan could react, her mother pulled her inside.
Lu Qingyao handed him two items. "This is Miaomiao's swaddling clothes, and this is a hat that Princess Yuqing made for Miaomiao herself. Can you see anything unusual about them?"
As Jiang Ziyan watched, her eyes widened and she covered her mouth.
It’s really her!
She only heard Aunt Xiuxiu say that her younger sister looked somewhat like Princess Yuqing, and she had her doubts at the time.
There's no such thing as someone being kind to you for no reason. The princess's affection for Miaomiao sounds rather unusual.
She might not even like Princess Jiayue that much, let alone an unrelated child.
Moreover, Miao Miao's appearance only becomes more outstanding as she grows up, so her biological parents must also be exceptionally good-looking.
Add to that the rumors about Princess Yuqing, and it all seems to make sense now.
Jiang Ziyan looked at his mother, wanting to ask her if Miaomiao's birth mother was a princess, but he didn't ask.
"Yan'er, it's just what you think," Lu Qingyao nodded and said, "What do you think we should do next?"
Jiang Ziyan calmed himself down and said, "Since the princess wants to make it clear but doesn't want to expose it, then let's keep it a secret and continue as usual."
