Chapter 111 Is there any hidden secret?
Qingyue hesitated for a moment before slowly walking to the Queen. The Queen wanted to hug her, but she shrank back, seeming unwilling.
Sensing her resistance, the queen sighed and let her go.
She pinched her brows, as if she was a little tired, and waved to Su Ma Ma, saying, "Take the princess down and settle her down. I'm tired and need to rest for a while."
Nanny Su responded, turned around and winked at Bai Jiyue, who immediately bowed and left.
When the three turned to walk out, a palace maid came in hurriedly. When Bai Jiyue walked out of the hall, she heard the palace maid vaguely reporting to the queen: "The maid on duty and several palace maids have been beaten to death..."
Bai Jiyue was slightly shocked. It seemed that the maid and the nanny who lost the child did not survive. However, she was puzzled. Why would so many people be so careless in such an important task as taking care of the princess? This was really unreasonable.
Qingyue's bedroom is located in the west hall of Kunning Palace. The interior is decorated magnificently and everything is wrapped with soft things, probably because they are afraid that Qingyue might bump into things while walking around.
Qingyue pulled Bai Jiyue to sit down, and Nanny Su began to prepare the meal.
While waiting, Qingyue held Bai Jiyue's hand, pinching and kneading it, her whole body exuding her love for Bai Jiyue.
Bai Jiyue looked at her and felt so soft in her heart. Who could not love such a warm, innocent and cute child?
Thinking of this, her heart moved slightly, and her expression became solemn. It seemed that someone didn't love her...
Qingyue has such an unrestrained personality, but when interacting with the queen, whom she lives with day and night, she acts timid and unwilling. This shows how cold the queen is to Qingyue on weekdays!
Thinking of this, she felt a little pain in her heart, feeling sorry for this lovely child.
Lunch was served quickly, filling the table. Qingyue seemed very happy and kept pulling Bai Jiyue to eat this and that. Bai Jiyue smiled and picked up some food for her first, then started eating too.
During this meal, Qingyue's smile never left her face. After the meal, Bai Jiyue was pulled by Qingyue to take a walk in the yard. Seeing that Qingyue was gradually feeling sleepy, Bai Jiyue coaxed her and carried her to the bed.
Qingyue opened her eyes wide and said to her, "Sister, I'm not sleepy!"
Bai Jiyue smiled: "Yeah, our Qingyue is not sleepy, just lying down for a while."
Qingyue blinked weakly a few times and squeezed her hand hard: "I know...if I fall asleep, my sister will leave."
Bai Jiyue felt a little pain in her heart, and replied with a smile: "Even if my sister leaves, she will come back in the future."
She stroked Qingyue's small shoulders and looked at her sincerely: "Believe in me, I will come to see you. During this time, Qingyue should eat well and sleep well. When I come again, I will be able to see Qingyue grow up a little bit, okay?"
Qingyue's eyes sparkled and she nodded heavily: "I will eat well and sleep well!"
She was finally swallowed by sleepiness and slowly closed her eyes.
Bai Jiyue stroked her little face until her breathing became long and steady, then he left.
When she returned to the inn, except for the prefect Cen Changqing, everyone else was waiting for her. When they saw her come back, they all asked about the situation.
Bai Jiyue briefly described the process of her accompanying Princess Qingyue to dinner, and Ma Qiao gave her a thumbs up: "Jiyue, you are so good to the children. You will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future."
A good wife and a good mother…
Bai Jiyue felt that he had nothing to do with this word.
In modern times, she was a spy and had never thought about starting a family and having children was even more of a luxury.
Now that she was in this ancient world, she didn't want to think about it anymore. The ideological differences were so great, how could she start a family with the people here? Besides, she didn't know if she would suddenly go back in the future.
"Being a good wife and a loving mother has nothing to do with you." A cold and stiff voice sounded faintly.
Ma Qiao turned around and glared at Ming Yuan: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Bai Jiyue rolled his eyes at the two men and looked at his brother: "Brother, have you heard about Princess Qingyue?"
Bai Jiri said: "Of course I don't know, but when I returned to the side hall to eat, I deliberately asked around and got a rough idea.
"Princess Qingyue's biological mother is Concubine De. Concubine De died during childbirth, and the princess was later raised by the queen. Our emperor doesn't have many children, except for a ten-year-old prince, and there is only Princess Qingyue. It is said that Princess Qingyue is very much loved by the emperor and the queen mother."
"What about the relationship between Princess Qingyue and the Queen?" Bai Jiyue asked.
Bai Jiri shook his head: "I haven't heard of this, but it shouldn't be that bad. The Queen has no children, and Princess Qingyue has been raised by the Queen since she was born. How could there be no feelings for her after such a long time?"
Bai Jiyue was silent.
What my eldest brother said makes sense. A child who has been raised by your side since childhood is your own child. The queen has no children, so there is no reason for her to hate such a lovely child.
What's more, even if the Queen really disliked Princess Qingyue, she would not let an accident happen to Princess Qingyue while she was being kept in her palace, let alone on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet!
But she really didn't believe that Princess Qingyue's fall into the water was just a coincidence. What was the hidden story behind it?
“By the way, we haven’t congratulated you and your sister yet. Congratulations on finally getting the pardon you wished for. You can now escape from the Dark Stone Wasteland and come and go freely!” Zhu Yuan said loudly.
Bai Jiyue came back to reality from Princess Qingyue's thoughts and smiled at Zhu Yuan: "Thank you, without your help, my brother and I wouldn't have gotten what we wanted so early."
Zhu Yuan winked and said, "Of course you should thank us. If we hadn't given you the chance to enter the palace, you wouldn't have gotten what you wanted so quickly. I don't know how you're going to thank us—"
He deliberately dragged out his voice and nudged Xie Ping and Cen Yanhuai with his elbows.
Xie Ping touched his head and smiled, Cen Yanhuai also looked at Bai Jiyue's smile. No one cooperated with Zhu Yuan. Zhu Yuan was a little bored and rolled his eyes at them.
Bai Jiyue looked at it with amusement, and said in a good-natured manner: "You can ask us how to thank you. As long as it is within our ability, we will thank you in any way!"
Zhu Yuan laughed and shook his head: "Then I have to think about it carefully. This kind of opportunity is rare, so I can't just take it lightly!"
As he was thinking, he suddenly clapped his hands, "I got it! How about this, you two brothers and sisters agree to one of our requests each, as long as it is just and within your ability!"
Bai Jiyue smiled and was about to say "OK", but she heard Mingyuan say coldly: "Everyone wants her to marry, so she can only be chopped into pieces."
Bai Yiri was drinking water and almost spit out the water when he heard this.
