Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The luxurious carriage pulled by eight horses stopped in front of the princessâs residence. The door opened and a beautiful woman in luxurious clothes emerged.
The official stepped forward and held her hand. âSlow down, Your Highness.â Princess Ni Yang slowly walked down on the mahogany stool.
She was tall and slender. Even though she was middle-aged, her skin was still well-maintained. It was fair and smooth, and there were almost no wrinkles. Her black hair was combed into a high bun and decorated with a golden headdress inlaid with red agate. Long golden tassels fell and swayed slightly with her steps.
Her red skirt slowly dragged across the ground. Her slender waist and jade belt were graceful.
Her facial features were a little similar to Xiao Juanâs. They were exquisite and three-dimensional, and the ratio was perfect.
The difference was that Xiao Juan looked more murderous and cold. He was like a flower on a high mountain, making people retreat and not dare to approach rashly.
However, Princess Ni Yang was more like a blooming mandala. She was bright, moving, and flirtatious. Even though one knew that she was poisonous, one could not help but want to approach her. Their temperaments could be said to be poles apart.
Cheng Qi stepped forward and held her hand. He said gently, âYour Highness, youâre finally back. I missed you very much when you were away.â Princess Ni Yang replied with a faint smile, âI miss you too.â
At first glance, the couple was very loving.
Even Yu Niaoniao was a little suspicious and could not help but whisper to Wei Liao.
âDidnât you say that the couple didnât get along? They didnât look like they are on bad terms.â
Wei Liao also lowered his voice. âThe royal family cares about their reputation. Even if theyâre already separate in private, they still have to pretend to be on good terms. This is called united on the outside but separated on the inside.â
Princess Ni Yang noticed a few unfamiliar faces and immediately pulled her hand out of Cheng Qiâs. She asked Yu Niaoniao with a smile, âYouâre Ah Juanâs new wife, right?â
Cheng Qi also lowered his hand. At the same time, he deliberately took two steps back and distanced himself from Princess Ni Yang.
Their movements were very small, but Yu Niaoniao still saw them.
It seemed that Wei Liao was right. This couple really did not get along.
Yu Niaoniao went forward to greet her. âGreetings, Your Highness.â
In her impression, Princess Ni Yang should be an extremely difficult person to get along with. She had the typical image of an evil mother-in-law. She was already prepared to put up with difficult behavior.
Unexpectedly, Princess Ni Yang took the initiative to hold her hand and said affectionately with a smile on her face.
âI originally planned to stay in the courtyard for two more days. When I found out that you were here, I rushed back in advance. Your name is Niaoniao, right?â
Yu Niaoniao was flattered. âYes, yes.â
Princess Ni Yang led her inside and spoke as they walked.
âNiaoniao, actually, Iâve wanted to see you for a long time. Unfortunately, weâre too far apart. I canât see you even if I want to. Fortunately, Ah Juan brought you here this time. Otherwise, I donât know when I would have to wait to see you.
By the way, why donât I see Ah Juan?â
Yu Niaoniao thought to herself that she finally remembered that she had a son!
She looked sad.
âWe were plotted against on the way. His Highness had an accident.â
Princess Ni Yang raised her eyebrows. âIs he dead?â
Yu Niaoniao was speechless.
Was this something a mother could say?!
She lowered her head and told him about the explosion at Xianglan Temple.
Princess Ni Yang said, âI didnât expect him to be so unlucky to be blown up. Donât worry, Iâll get someone to collect his corpse later.â Although she was a little surprised, she was not sad.
It was as if the life and death of her biological son were just an insignificant occurrence to her.
Yu Niaoniao looked at her blankly.
âYou donât look sad.â
Princess Ni Yang smiled gently. âHe grew up in the Imperial Capital and has no feelings for me. Why should I be sad for him?â
Yu Niaoniao pursed her lower lip. The reason why Xiao Juan grew up in the Imperial Capital was that he could not survive living with her.
However, looking at Princess Ni Yangâs matter-of-fact expression, she did not feel that she had done anything wrong at all.
Yu Niaoniao could not help but say, âHis Highness is your child after all.â
Princess Ni Yang said, âSo what? Although I gave birth to him, that doesnât mean I have to love him. Correspondingly, even if I die in the future, I donât need him to send me off. Itâs very fair.â
Yu Niaoniao really wanted to ask, âSince you donât love your child, why did you give birth to Xiao Juan?â
But she swallowed the words. This question was too sharp and could easily make Princess Ni Yang unhappy.
She still had to use Princess Ni Yang to deal with Cheng Qi. She had to think of a way to build a good relationship with Princess Ni Yang.
Yu Niaoniao smiled bitterly. âYou can accept it, but I canât.â
Princess Ni Yang said slowly, âI can understand how you feel. When my first consort died, I couldnât live with it any more than you did. I felt as if the sky had fallen.â
âBy the time the second consort died, I was numb. Although he was still alive, he was no different from dead. I was used to this. There was no one in this world who could not live without anyone.â
âEven without a man, we women can still live well.â
Seeing that Yu Niaoniao was silent, she suddenly stopped and pointed at the group of gigolos behind her.
âThe best way to heal a love wound is to develop a new relationship. Look at these men. Which one do you like? Take your pick. Iâll give them all to you.â Yu Niaoniao was shocked.
Before his sonâs corpse turned cold, his biological mother had already started to arrange a family for his daughter-in-law?
This was really something she had not expected.
She looked at the reactions of the gigolos again. Although they were a little surprised, they did not have much resistance; it was as if they were used to this.
Yu Niaoniao politely declined. âThank you for your kindness, but Iâm not in the mood to think about this now.â
Princess Ni Yang narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly. âDo you despise them for being used by me?â
Yu Niaoniao immediately denied it. âNo, no!â
Princess Ni Yang smiled.
âIt doesnât matter if you despise them. There are still a few little fellows backyard of the princessâs residence that I havenât touched. I can give tl to you.â
Yu Niaoniao said, âThereâs really no need.â
Princess Ni Yang was about to persuade her again when Cheng Qj spoke.
âYour Highness, you might not know this, but the princess consort alre someone by her side. The novelty has yet to pass. No matter who you gi she wonât accept it.â
Princess Ni Yang was very surprised. âThereâs someone beside Niaoniac is it?â
Yu Niaoniao had a very bad feeling.
When she saw Cheng Qi point at Wei Liao, her heart skipped a beat.
Damn it, no!
Cheng Qi said with a smile, âItâs this Vice General Wei.â
Wei Liao was speechless.
This was beyond his expectations..
