Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Meng Yunshang finally decided to meet Lu Lingzhu.

In the flower-filled garden, she lay lazily in the rocking chair that Lu Chenxiao had built himself.

He was covered with a thin velvet blanket.

Danqiu peeled fruit for her while Yunniang made tea.

As the aroma of tea filled the air, Lu Lingzhu was led over.

"aunt!"

The crisp call made Meng Yunshang look up.

The little girl seemed to have grown a little taller, and she was trotting over with a cute flower-bud bun.

Judging from his posture, he was ready to throw himself into her arms.

Danqiu also noticed this and was ready to stop Lu Lingzhu.

Meng Yunshang had already picked up a lychee and flicked her finger towards Lu Lingzhu's knee.

Lu Lingzhu was caught off guard, stumbled and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Yunniang wanted to go forward to help her, but was stopped by Meng Yunshang's eyes.

"Aunt~"

With red eyes, Lu Lingzhu looked to Meng Yunshang for help pitifully.

Meng Yunshang frowned and looked at the maid behind her, "Didn't you see the princess fall? Is this how you usually serve the princess?"

The two palace maids looked at each other, then quickly stepped forward to help Lu Lingzhu up.

"Aunt, are you still angry with Zhu'er?"

Lu Lingzhu clutched the corner of her clothes and looked at Meng Yunshang timidly.

Meng Yunshang frowned slightly.

In her impression, Lu Lingzhu is lively, cheerful and optimistic.

Although she is a little willful and capricious, she is a royal princess after all, so it is normal for her to be a little spoiled.

But now Lu Lingzhu has completely lost her former brightness and pampering, and instead gives people a timid and petty-minded feeling.

She doesn't have the airs of a royal princess at all.

It is more convincing to say that she was a girl raised by a low-class family that had suffered long-term oppression.

Meng Yunshang did not respond to her words of flattery, but asked her directly, "Why did you come to see me today?"

"Zhu'er hasn't seen my aunt for a long time and I missed her so much that I came to see her."

He said he missed me, but there was no emotion in his eyes.

Meng Yunshang has not forgotten that the little girl felt that Huai'an had stolen the favor of Emperor Yuan Qing and showed strong hostility towards Huai'an.

Under such circumstances, would Lu Lingzhu really miss her aunt?

Meng Yunshang was filled with doubts, but she didn't show it on her face.

Instead, he said calmly, "Now that you have seen it, go back."

"Aunt," Lu Lingzhu stepped forward excitedly.

Meng Yunshang stopped him, "Just stand there and talk, don't move forward."

Lu Lingzhu was startled and tears started to fall from her eyes.

"Did Zhu'er do something wrong to make her aunt hate her so much?"

The two palace maids following Lu Lingzhu looked at Meng Yunshang with hostility.

"Princess Heng is targeting our princess, but do you still remember how kind Concubine Li was to you?"

These words were full of questioning meaning. Danqiu stood up and said coldly, "Sister, please be careful with your words. Our princess has never owed anything to Concubine Li, and she has never targeted Princess Lingzhu."

"But it's obvious..." The palace maid was not convinced and wanted to argue, but unexpectedly met Meng Yunshang's cold eyes.

"Are you from Yaohua Palace?"

The maid was shocked and quickly shook her head, "No, no, I am someone close to the princess."

"Since you are someone close to the princess, how come you didn't notice that the princess' shoes are old?"

The palace maid was startled and looked hurriedly at Lu Lingzhu's feet.

The embroidered shoes with rabbit patterns are very delicate and beautiful, but the fabric used for the upper is not the Xiangyunsha that is popular this spring.

As one of the only two princesses in the palace, Lu Lingzhu represents more than just herself.

But wearing last year's shoes out of the palace would be a slap in the face of Concubine Li and Emperor Yuan Qing.

After the palace maid figured out the whole series of relationships, she knelt down in panic and begged for mercy.

Meng Yunshang stared at Lu Lingzhu, "What did you say?"

Royal children are destined to mature precociously.

What's more, Lu Lingzhu is not three or five years old, she is already ten years old, and she loves to dress herself up according to the trend.

You must have noticed a long time ago that the shoes on your feet are not fashionable.

But even though they know it is out of date, they still wear it.

Then her thoughts became interesting.

"Aunt..." Lu Lingzhu did not answer Meng Yunshang's question, but begged eagerly, "Aunt, can you hug me?"

Meng Yunshang sat there without moving, looking at Lu Lingzhu with a look full of disappointment.

But Lu Lingzhu didn't notice. She still cried and begged, "Please hug me. You loved me so much before, and you must love me the same way now, right?"

"I did love you before, but not anymore."

The warmth in Meng Yunshang's eyes gradually faded away. "Go back, and don't come to Prince Heng's Mansion anymore."

"Aunt..." Lu Lingzhu shook her head with tears in her eyes, "I won't leave."

Seeing the little girl crying pitifully, Yunniang wanted to plead for her, "Princess..."

Meng Yunshang looked at her indifferently.

Yunniang shut up immediately.

Lu Lingzhu quietly moved forward, "Aunt, please don't chase me away, okay?"

"That's all I have to say. If you want to go any further, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"Princess Heng, you...ah, Princess!"

The palace maid had just said half of her words to accuse Meng Yunshang when Lu Lingzhu suddenly vomited blood.

The blood is black.

Yunniang and Danqiu stood up to protect Meng Yunshang, looking at Lu Lingzhu vigilantly.

In case she rushes over without caring about anything.

Fortunately, Lu Lingzhu didn't.

She looked at Meng Yunshang with resentful eyes, accusing her word by word, "Aunt, why don't you want to hug Zhu'er?"

Meng Yunshang didn't say anything. She looked at the black blood at the corner of Lu Lingzhu's mouth and fell into deep thought.

As expected, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

The maid pointed at Meng Yunshang and loudly accused, "Princess Heng, you have gone too far. How dare you poison our princess!"

Meng Yunshang stood up and sneered, "How can I poison you? From a distance?"

Fortunately, she guessed in advance that Lu Lingzhu had ill intentions and tried her best to avoid being touched by Lu Lingzhu.

Otherwise, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won’t be able to wash it clean.

"Anyway, our princess was poisoned in your Prince Heng's mansion. You must be responsible."

The palace maid's relentless behavior was obviously something she had practiced many times.

Meng Yunshang raised her voice, "Xuan Si, Xuan Liu."

"My subordinate is here!"

Two figures flashed in the yard, and Lu Lingzhu and the palace maid were both startled.

"Did you see the whole process?"

"In reply to your Majesty, I saw it clearly."

"Send Princess Lingzhu back to the palace and report everything that just happened to the emperor in detail. Nothing should be concealed."

"Yes!"

"I won't leave, Auntie, I don't blame you, please don't chase me away, okay?"

Saying "I don't blame you" is equivalent to throwing all the dirty water at Meng Yunshang.

Meng Yunshang sighed softly, and the last bit of pity she had for Lu Lingzhu in her heart completely disappeared.

Lu Lingzhu must have known and acquiesced to everything that happened today.

She was willing to join the game and become a pawn.

Just to stand on the opposite side of Prince Heng's Mansion.

Meng Yunshang closed her eyes and waved to Xuan Si and Xuan Liu. The two of them quickly left with Lu Lingzhu.

"I'm sorry, princess. I just overstepped my bounds."

Yunniang was very ashamed.

She had no children of her own, and when she saw Lu Lingzhu's pitiful appearance, her maternal love suddenly overflowed.

But he didn't expect that it would almost cause trouble for the princess.

Fortunately, the princess was prepared, otherwise she would have made a mistake.

Meng Yunshang was silent for a moment, then said with a cold expression, "This is just this once, it won't happen again."

Yun Niang nodded, "I'll remember it."
