Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 824

Pei Fang froze.

"you......"

Cui Yan was too lazy to say another word to her, so he raised his hand and pressed her acupoint to silence her, forbidding her from saying another word.

"Let's go." As he left, he sat on horseback, his gaze fixed on Princess Ling, his eyes filled with reluctance, heartache, and regret.

“Brother…” Princess Ling’s eyes were filled with tears.

"Yaoyao, I will find a way to come back and pick you up."

Cui Yan whispered as he passed by her.

......

"Your Highness, it seems that Princess Ling and Young Master Cui have some illicit relationship. I heard that they grew up together and developed feelings for each other. But Princess Ling is an adopted daughter of the Cui family, of low status, and is not worthy of Cui Yan at all."

"But Cui Yan wanted to marry her, but the Grand Preceptor disagreed, so he sent her to be married off as a peace treaty."

Cui Yan was sent here as a hostage, which doesn't necessarily mean he was truly favored by the Cui family.

Yun Xiyue found Cui Yan very strange.

But I can’t tell.

"Ah."

"Your Highness, Prince Mo says he wants to see you," Qingmei reported as she entered.

"Does the Emperor know?"

"The Emperor is unaware that the Prince wishes to meet with you alone at the Yun family residence."

Mo Ye used to live in the Yun Mansion.

I can say that I'm a colleague of Qingmei.

So he secretly contacted Qingmei to pass on the message.

Granny Chen felt that what she did was inappropriate, "He asked you to pass on a message, so you just pass it on?"

Qingmei's expression changed slightly. "Granny, Prince Mo knew us in the past."

"He also saved the Empress, and the Prince said he had something important to tell her, concerning the young prince."

Granny Chen sensed something was amiss.

Yun Qingli said, "Go tell the Emperor that I need to go back to the Yun family."

"Mo Ye must have something to tell me."

She deliberately avoided Murong Yu because she didn't want to cause her any trouble.

Upon learning this, Murong Yu agreed without much thought.

It concerns Xiaobao.

She needs to figure that out.

Recently, she has been investigating why Cui Yan wanted to arrest Xiao Bao.

My older brother is also investigating.

......

"Qingmei, do you like Moye?" Yun Xiyue got into the carriage and asked Qingmei to follow.

Qingmei's face flushed red. "Your Majesty, I only want to stay by your side. I will not marry."

My childhood sweetheart died tragically in my past life, when she was only eighteen.

The prime of youth.

"Qingmei, I know you are loyal to me, but I also want you to be happy."

Qingmei smiled bitterly, "This servant understands, but someone of my status can't possibly marry him."

Mo Ye Ruo is still Bei Ye.

She can still try to win him over.

But he is the regent of the Great Wei!

She could never be worthy to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, no matter how long she looked up to him.

Yun Xiyue understood, so she didn't say anything more.

Mo Ye will not marry Qingmei.

If it's to be a concubine, then forget it.

"There are so many men in the world, I believe you can find your own destiny."

Qingmei shook her head and smiled, "This servant's destiny is Your Highness. Please, Your Highness, do not send me away."

"But are you content to never marry?"

Yunxi Yue has experienced the feeling of living like a widow.

Not getting married is also a way to experience the joys of being a man and a woman in this world.

"In fact, marriage does not necessarily require mutual love; marriage is more about mutual benefit."

Qingmei also didn't understand, "What about the Empress and the Emperor?"

"My relationship with the Emperor is also intertwined with mutual interests, but I am relatively fortunate to have also received invaluable genuine affection."

But she wasn't sure if this genuine affection could last.

"Do you love the Emperor?"

Nature is love.

Yun Xiyue smiled. "But I won't pester him anymore. If he doesn't love me anymore, I can still be myself."

"It's not wrong for you to like Mo Ye now, and it's not wrong for you to want to marry him."

"Just keep a clear head at all times and don't let a man lead you by the nose and lose yourself."

Those like the Empress Dowager have been deeply influenced by this for their entire lives.
