Reborn to marry, the short-lived prince lived a hundred years

The day of return.

Meng Tingyue sat upright in front of the bronze mirror, with Qingdang and Qinglan beside her, carefully helping her to dress up.

Meng Tingyue stretched her neck slightly and signaled Qingdian to cover the red marks on her neck.

Nanny Qin stood by, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes filled with worry. "Crown Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't returned yet. It might be inappropriate for you to go back alone. Why don't you wait a little longer until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns, and then go together."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very busy, how can we disturb him so easily? I'm just going back home. How can the Meng family eat me?"

Meng Tingyue smiled softly. The beauty in the bronze mirror had flowing eyes and beautiful eyebrows and features.

Nanny Qin still felt that it was inappropriate and only hoped that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would remember that today was the day he would return home and would be able to come back in time.

Qinglan held a list of return gifts and asked softly, "Crown Princess, should we add some more things to the list of return gifts to show our appreciation?"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Qin immediately turned her gaze to Meng Tingyue, as if as long as Meng Tingyue agreed, she would immediately start preparing and add a few more things to the list of return gifts.

The girl is now the Crown Princess and has a noble status, so it is natural that she must give gifts when returning home.

Meng Tingyue disagreed, "These are enough."

Why bring so much back? It's such a waste.

If she hadn't considered the prince's face and basic etiquette, she would have taken some rags back with her.

Shen Yunheng did not appear until she slowly left the Prince's Mansion in a carriage.

Compared to the slowly moving carriage, Meng Tingyue's mood was particularly solemn.

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not go back with her today, she would inevitably be troubled, so she needed to prepare in advance.

Meng House.

When Lord Meng heard the news that the prince's carriage was about to set off, he began to busy himself with preparations.

It was not until someone hurriedly came to report that the prince's carriage was about to arrive that he packed up the clinic and walked outside the mansion to wait.

When the carriage slowed down and stopped, he stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

After a while, the voice that responded to him was not the majestic and steady voice, but a clear, pleasant, and slightly doubtful female voice.

"Daddy."

Meng Tingyue raised her hand and placed it on the back of Qingdian's hand and got off the carriage.

Lord Meng looked up at the sound, glanced around, and then turned from the carriage back to Meng Tingyue, "Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Meng Tingyue looked innocent, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very busy, so I am here alone today."

"Why didn't you send someone to inform my father of the news in advance?" Lord Meng looked gloomy.

"The Crown Prince had originally agreed to come with us, but he sent a message midway saying he was busy and couldn't accompany us. That's why I didn't have time to tell you."

What Meng Tingyue said was half true and half false.

It is true that the prince is busy with official duties and is not in the palace.

The prince did not send a message to inform her whether she would accompany him, because she did not send anyone to inform the prince, so this is false.

This time when she returned home, she came alone, just like in her previous life.

At that time, the fifth prince was ill and bedridden, and was unable to accompany her.

Lord Meng's face trembled, as if he was filled with anger, but he was trying hard to suppress it. He turned around and went back to the house, "Go in."

Mrs. Meng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she learned that the prince did not return with Meng Tingyue.

It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't care about Meng Tingyue, otherwise he would not have failed to accompany her on such an important day.

Mrs. Meng, holding the title of Meng Tingyue's nominal mother, sat steadily on the upper chair, drinking tea slowly. It was not until Meng Tingyue entered the room that she raised her head and looked at her calmly.

"Tingyue is back."

Meng Tingyue nodded indifferently.

Lord Meng saw this and rebuked her, "You're really becoming more and more unruly. Now you don't even want to call me mother."

Meng Tingyue smiled faintly, gazing at Master Meng with a gloomy gaze, "Father, you are wrong. It is because I know my manners and shame that I did not shout."

"Why?" Lord Meng was puzzled.

Meng Tingyue found a place to sit down, gently smoothed out the wrinkles on her skirt, sat upright and elegantly, and her every move and gesture showed the calmness and composure of a Crown Princess.

"I am now the Crown Princess. The only people I need to pay my respects to are the current Emperor and Empress. I am willing to call you Daddy because we are blood relatives. If it were anyone else, they would kneel before me."

What she meant was that Mrs. Meng had no relatives or friends with her, and she was already generous enough not to ask Mrs. Meng to kneel down.

After these words were spoken, not only Madam Meng, but even Lord Meng's face turned pale and red.

These words undoubtedly stomped on his face.

"What a great prestige! If the Crown Princess doesn't like this small courtyard of the Meng family, she doesn't have to come back today." Madam Meng tightened her handkerchief.

"Madam Meng is wrong. I came back today because there are blood relatives of mine in this mansion, and also because my father promised to return my mother's belongings before my daughter got married."

This is the reason why Meng Tingyue came back today.

"Legitimate mother? Xiao is your legitimate mother, and so is Jiang. The Jiang recorded in the family tree now is also your mother. You are so rude, and you still want your father to hand things over to you." Lord Meng turned his back with a wave of his sleeves, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Daddy is going to break his promise." Meng Tingyue's eyebrows suddenly turned cold.

The atmosphere in the room was tense and no one was willing to give in.

"Master, His Royal Highness Prince Qing has arrived with Princess Qing."

The servant reported.

Prince Qing is the title bestowed upon the Fifth Prince by His Majesty. The title was bestowed upon the Fifth Prince after his marriage.

Meng Tingyue lowered her brows to hide the coldness in her eyes.

His Royal Highness Prince Qing has been in good health throughout his life and he didn't fall ill at such a critical moment.

Prince Qing was wearing a moon-white brocade robe today, and Meng Qingjiao was also wearing a dress of the same color. The two of them walked into the house together. They were a match made in heaven, a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Prince Qing still looked very sick, but his expression looked a little strange now.

Meng Qingjiao's face was flushed, she was full of energy, and there was a hint of maturity between her eyebrows. Her whole body was filled with joy and tenderness, and the two of them behaved very intimately.

Meng Tingyue observed calmly.

"The son-in-law meets his father-in-law and mother-in-law." King Qing raised his lips and called softly.

"Daughter greets father and mother." Meng Qingjiao called out tenderly.

Seeing the two of them coming together and showing him special respect, Lord Meng's brows relaxed a lot, "Your Highness Prince Qing, Jiaojiao."

While sitting down, Prince Qing noticed Meng Tingyue and bowed slightly, "Imperial sister-in-law."

Meng Qingjiao also shouted unhappily, "Empress Sister-in-law."

Seeing Prince Qing's respect for herself and Meng Qingjiao's expression of disapproval, the tone in her chest and abdomen relaxed a lot, raised her lips and nodded: "Royal brother, Royal sister-in-law."

Then she turned her gaze to Lord Meng's obviously unhappy expression and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Seeing this, Lord Meng disliked his eldest daughter even more.

He just felt that Meng Tingyue had completely lost control after marrying the prince and even dared to contradict him.

After Prince Qing sat down, he took the opportunity when Meng Qingjiao was expressing her longing and joy to Madam Meng to look at Meng Tingyue, "Where is my brother? Why didn't he come with my sister-in-law?"
