Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

After lunch, Huai'an once again clearly felt his mother's love and quickly fell into a sweet dream.

Meng Yunshang was supported by Dangui and walked into the flower hall.

Seeing the new flowers placed on the table, she turned around and said, "Go and get a pot of old tea."

Dangui did as he was told.

Meng Yunshang washed her hands and made tea.

Soon, the flower hall was filled with the aroma of tea.

At this time, Danqiu led Aunt Mu in.

"Princess, Aunt Mu has brought her here."

Meng Yunshang didn't look up, she kept making tea with her hands, looking very serious as if she was doing something very serious.

Mu Yan felt a little scared, and followed Dan Qiu to greet him, "Meet the Second Miss."

Danqiu turned around and reminded in a cold tone, "This is the palace, there is only Princess Heng, so don't call her the wrong name, aunt."

Mu Yan paused, met Dan Qiu's eyes that contained pressure, paused, then nodded and said, "Yes."

"Also, although my aunt is someone close to Madam, Madam has agreed to second my aunt to the palace. In that case, she must abide by the palace's rules, call herself a slave, and obey the princess."

"Yes, I understand, slave."

Mu Yan responded respectfully, but her hands hidden in her sleeves suddenly clenched.

Meng Yunshang said calmly, "Sit down."

Mu Yan didn't refuse and took a seat.

Meng Yunshang placed the small cup filled with tea in front of the empty seat opposite and motioned to Mu Yan, "Aunt Mu, please taste the tea I made."

Mu Yan picked up the small cup gracefully and sipped the tea.

The next moment, she spat it out violently.

"Pah, pah, pah, what kind of tea is this? Why is it so unpalatable?"

"Aunt Mu!"

Seeing that she was so unruly, Danqiu and Dangui rushed to protect their master.

But Meng Yunshang signaled him to step back.

She said to Mu Yan, "This is the best Longjing tea."

Mu Yan finally got rid of the bitter taste in her mouth, and when she heard Meng Yunshang's words, she blurted out a sneer.

"Princess, have you never tasted Longjing tea before? You can't even tell the difference between new tea and old tea."

"Auntie seems to be knowledgeable, why don't you tell me in detail?"

Meng Yunshang smiled nonchalantly, with a dark gleam in her eyes.

But Mu Yan was eager to show off his erudition and did not notice anything unusual.

She raised her chin and said proudly, "Of course I understand."

"Everyone knows that the best Longjing tea is the West Lake Longjing. And the West Lake Longjing is the best Longjing tea picked before the Qingming Festival, and is known as the 'daughter's red'. You should know that I..."

Mu Yan suddenly stopped talking halfway.

It was a close call. She almost let it slip.

Meng Yunshang seemed not to notice her relief, and slowly took over the conversation and asked, "How was it when my aunt was with my mother?"

Mu Yan's heart sank, Longjing tea is hard to come by before the Qingming Festival.

Even though she was the most capable person around Cheng, she was not qualified to drink such a rare delicacy often.

Worried that Meng Yunshang might notice something, Mu Yan quickly tried to make amends.

"I was talking about how I had the honor of tasting the wonderful flavor of Mingqian Longjing before I entered the Shangshu Mansion."

"Oh?" Meng Yunshang raised the last word.

"I remember that before my mother took my aunt in, she was just a poor person who was not accepted by her husband's family. Even the new clothes and shoes she wore when she entered the mansion were bought for her by my mother."

"Excuse me, auntie, where did you taste the Mingqian Longjing tea?"

"This," Meng Yunshang's question came too suddenly. Mu Yan couldn't bear the fear in her heart and knelt down with a plop.

"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to deceive the princess. Please forgive me this time because this is my first offense."

Meng Yunshang quietly looked at Mu Yan who kept kowtowing and admitting her mistakes.

No one could have imagined that Mu Yan, who was taken in by her mother as an abandoned woman in distress, was actually Meng Xueyun's mistress.

Taking advantage of her status as a capable aunt close to her mother, she not only bossed people around in the Shangshu Mansion, but also had affairs with Meng Yunchuan under her mother's nose again and again.

Her mother's kindness was used as a shameless fig leaf by her and Meng Yunchuan.

In the previous life, after Meng Xueyun took over the magpie's nest, this pair of dogs couldn't wait to dance in front of my mother, and almost angered her to death.

When she thought about how her mother was still feeling grief for her daughter who died young before she died, she felt a pain in her heart.

Apart from Huai'an, the people she felt most guilty about were her mother and elder brother.

she……

"princess?"

Danqiu saw that she was not in a good state and reminded her gently.

Meng Yunshang lowered her head and met Mu Yan's anxious eyes.

She suppressed her extra thoughts and gave Mu Yan a cold smile, "Aunt has a lot of experience, it's not surprising that she has drunk Mingqian Longjing. I am just being too serious."

Mu Yan felt relieved and stood up proudly without waiting for Meng Yunshang to speak.

Seeing this, Dangui was dissatisfied and wanted to remind her, but she heard Meng Yunshang say, "The Sichuan brocade dress that aunt is wearing is light and soft, but the color is too dark, which does not match aunt's delicate and lovely temperament."

"Danqiu, take the new peach-pink gauze from the warehouse to Aunt Mu's yard later."

Danqiu nodded, "Okay, Princess, but I don't know which courtyard should Aunt Mu be placed in?"

"You decide. Make sure you pick a spacious, bright, and convenient courtyard. Aunt is the most capable person around my mother, and I cannot treat her badly."

In order to pronounce a few words more conveniently, she emphasized the pronunciation of the words.

Danqiu had been with her for many years and understood it immediately.

The answer that came out of his mouth was, "Then let's go to Fenghua Courtyard. It has good lighting and is close to the back street. If aunt gets bored staying in the mansion, she can go out the side door to the street for a stroll."

"Very good. Remember to tell this princess that everyone in the palace must treat Aunt Mu well."

"Okay, Princess."

Dan Qiu bent his knees and responded, then motioned to the drowsy Mu Yan to follow him.

After the two of them left one after the other, Dan Gui, who couldn't hold back her words, immediately asked Meng Yunshang:

"I can understand why the princess gave Aunt Mu the water-glossy veil, because the princess doesn't like the peach pink color at all."

"But I don't understand why the princess wants Aunt Mu to live alone in Fenghua Courtyard. Even if she wins your favor, she is still a servant after all."

"If this gets out, outsiders might say that the princess is not strict in running the household."

Meng Yunshang curled her lips and smiled, "I just want to let the people outside know that I am very satisfied with Aunt Mu and I am willing to let her take all the power."

Dan Gui was shocked, "Does the princess want to use Aunt Mu as bait?"

Meng Yunshang smiled but said nothing.

Now that we have the bait, all we have to do is wait for the big fish to take the bait.

On the way to Fenghuayuan, Mu Yan felt a little uneasy.

I always feel that everything that just happened was like a dream.

What I originally thought was the Hongmen Banquet didn't happen, but instead I got a piece of extremely rare water-glossy gauze.

Moreover, Meng Yunshang also let her live in a separate yard.

You have to know that even in the Shangshu Mansion, she had to live in the same courtyard with the four older maids, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, who were by Cheng's side.

How come my treatment and benefits got better after I came to Prince Heng’s Mansion?

Is it simply because Prince Heng’s Mansion is richer and more generous than the Shangshu Mansion?

Mu Yan, who couldn't figure out the reason, asked Dan Qiu tentatively.

"The princess said she wanted me to come here to take care of her body, but I just drank a cup of stale tea, so I didn't have a chance to confirm what was wrong with the princess."

"I don't know the disease, so I can't prescribe the right medicine."

Danqiu spoke calmly, "Don't worry, aunt. The prince is taking a break. The princess took some time to see you, so she will talk about the most important things first."

"As for recuperating the princess's body, once you are settled, the princess will summon you to tell you in detail."

Mu Yan smiled awkwardly, "So that's how it is. I feel relieved then."

Danqiu added, "The housekeeper will assign maids to Fenghua Courtyard in a while, so please choose according to your preference."

"Princess, you are so generous. Please ask Miss Zhiqiu to thank you for me."

"Of course. Everyone in the capital knows that our princess is the most generous and kind to others. She kept Miss Xueyun in the palace for five years because she got along well with her."

"It's a pity that Miss Xueyun doesn't know what's good for her. She lives and eats in the palace, but treats the prince harshly. The princess was so angry that she had her sent back to the old house in Xinyang."

Seeing Danqiu taking the initiative to talk about Meng Xueyun, Mu Yan was delighted.
