April in the human world.

The most beautiful time of year.

The garden is filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.

Princess Yuqing slept soundly, her dreams filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.

I didn't wake up until the afternoon.

I opened my eyes and slowly stretched.

Feeling a slight headache, she frowned and rubbed her temples.

It's all because of Lu San Niang. She made her drink a lot of wine last night, making her so drunk that she was unconscious and has been sleeping until now.

Granny Feng stepped forward and lifted the curtain: "Your Highness, you've finally woken up. Prime Minister Cui has been waiting in the garden for quite some time."

Cui Yan!

I just dreamt of Cui Yan, how come he's here already?

Princess Yuqing blushed.

He quickly got up and changed his clothes.

"How long has he been here? Why didn't he wake me?"

"I've been here for an hour, but Prime Minister Cui forbade me from waking you up," said Granny Feng as she busied herself washing and dressing her mistress.

Needless to say, she knew what her master was thinking.

Whenever Prime Minister Cui came, the princess would always dress up neatly and even put on full makeup.

Otherwise, when she's at home with nothing to do, she doesn't wear makeup.

After washing up, Princess Yuqing looked at herself in the mirror with great satisfaction and asked Granny Feng, "What time is it now?"

It's noon.

"I'm hungry, go get me something to eat."

She slept soundly for days and nights, missing both breakfast and lunch.

The only thing she could do was have Cui Yan eat with her.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Cui has prepared a meal and is waiting for you at the lakeside pavilion in the backyard."

Princess Yuqing was delighted upon hearing this.

Cui Yan was a man who was always busy, especially after his fifth brother ascended the throne, it was difficult to even get an appointment with him.

If I hadn't known that he had mentioned their marriage to my fifth brother...

She even suspected that Cui Yan never intended to marry her.

You actually had time to come see her today, and waited for so long. Did you find out from your fifth brother that she was going to go north with him, and came here specifically to persuade her to stay?

This is the most likely possibility.

However, her mind was made up, and no one could sway her.

She slowed her pace and turned back to instruct Granny Feng, "Go next door and bring Miaomiao here."

In her daughter's words, her father is a complete doting father.

Cui Yan would listen to whatever Miao Miao said, and he would even break the rules for her sake, never breaking his promises to her.

Let's see if Cui Yan can still say anything to stop Miao Miao from going.

Lake Heart Pavilion.

Cui Yan was reading a book in the pavilion, completely absorbed in it.

He even brought official documents, asked the emperor for leave, and planned to spend a few days with Yuqing before leaving the capital.

He only looked up when he smelled a faint scent of perfume.

Princess Yuqing was already standing in front of him.

Looking at the official documents on the table, he asked, "What does Prime Minister Cui mean by this? Does he intend to stay at my residence?"

"is it not OK?"

Princess Yuqing smiled slightly but did not respond.

"If you don't speak, I'll take that as a yes." Cui Yan then ordered the maid to serve the dishes.

Princess Yuqing sat down opposite him, rubbing her head as she looked up at Cui Yan: "Prime Minister Cui, are the servants in my household easy to manage?"

“It’s natural.” Cui Yan handed her a glass of water.

Princess Yuqing took it, drank a sip, found it sweet, and asked, "Is this honey syrup?"

"Ah."

Cui Yan walked behind her, placed his hand on her temple, gently rubbed it, and said softly, "Does your head hurt? My daughter said you had a hangover last night. How could someone who can't drink have drunk so much?"

"It's Lu San Niang again. My daughter said she's heartbroken after her breakup and asked me to have a few drinks with her. But you just saw Miao Miao, why didn't you bring her along?"

Princess Yuqing closed her eyes, looking completely relaxed and content.

When have she and Cui Yan ever had such leisurely and pleasant time as they do now?

I wish time could stand still at this moment.

Just then, Granny Feng came running back, panting.

Seeing this heartwarming scene, not wanting to disturb its master, it simply wandered around to the side.

"What is it?" Cui Yan released his hand and returned to his seat.

Granny Feng walked to Princess Yuqing's side and reported, "Your Highness, the young princess and Lady Lu are not in the manor; they have both left."

"What do you mean 'everyone's gone'?"

“They left the capital early this morning and went to the border…” Granny Feng lowered her head and lowered her voice.

"What? Gone!" Princess Yuqing suddenly stood up, her face full of disbelief: "That Lu Qingyao, how dare she! She didn't even wait for me, got me drunk, and then quietly abducted my daughter! She must have taken advantage of the fact that she raised Miaomiao, and that I trusted her completely, knowing I wouldn't kill her, to dare deceive me like that! It's too much!"

It's incredibly audacious, arrogant, and contemptuous of her...

Princess Yuqing was furious and almost smashed the plate in anger.

Cui Yan stopped him and took out a letter from his pocket: "Don't be angry yet. This is a letter that Lady Lu asked me to give to you. Take a look first."

I originally planned to tell Yuqing after she finished her meal.

Judging from her appearance, she probably has no appetite.

However, judging from her words, it seemed that she wanted to leave with Madam Lu and Miaomiao.

Princess Yuqing took the letter, her anger still simmering, muttering to herself, "I'd like to see how Lu Qingyao explains herself..."

As he was speaking, his voice abruptly stopped.

The person who was initially angry suddenly stopped being angry after reading the contents of the letter.

She blinked her big eyes at Cui Yan and asked, "Where did you see your daughter this morning?"

“At the dock, Miao Miao sent a message last night. They left the capital early this morning at dawn and asked me to go to the dock to see them off. They said you drank too much and couldn't get out of bed, so they didn't say goodbye to you. That's why they asked me to come and comfort you. But you just said they didn't wait for you. Are you going to the Northern Border with them too?” Cui Yan looked into Yu Qing's eyes.

Having seen a side of her that was unknown to others, Cui Yan understood this princess quite well.

Miao Miao went to the Northern Border with Madam Lu, and he was about to set off for the Northern Border for peace talks. Yu Qing probably also had the idea of ​​going with him.

"Cui Lang, please take me with you. I can't bear to leave you and my daughter. I want to see you every day." Princess Yuqing tugged at Cui Yan's sleeve, looking at him longingly, almost clinging to him.

Cui Yan remained outwardly unmoved, but inwardly he was in a terrible predicament.

He had just yesterday requested an imperial edict from the Emperor to grant him the marriage, and he would read the edict aloud upon his return from the peace talks.

He and Qing'er can get married next year.

Naturally, I don't want to separate now.

But Yuqing is the eldest princess of Liang. Without the emperor's approval, who would dare to take her to the border?

Madam Lu probably had similar concerns, which is why she sneaked away first.

"No way." He removed Princess Yuqing's hand and said seriously, "If the Empress Dowager and the Emperor knew that I had abducted you, wouldn't they tear me to pieces?"

Princess Yuqing turned around and hugged him, looking up at him with a sweet smile: "No, with me here, who would dare to tear you to pieces? Besides, the Emperor couldn't persuade me otherwise, so he agreed, only asking that I not reveal my identity. I don't want to be separated from you, so take me with you, okay?"

Cui Yan almost couldn't resist her persistent pleading, but he still didn't give in: "No, I can't take you away."

They were all accompanied by men, which made it inconvenient for them to bring the princess along.

Princess Yuqing realized that even her gentle affection and earnest flattery could not melt this block of ice.

My heart is filled with disappointment.

She shook off his hand, stood far away from him, and the way she looked at Cui Yan changed.

“Cui Yan, I am of noble birth, the Emperor’s own sister, and the eldest princess of Liang. I have my own pride and dignity. It was one thing for me to fawn over you when I was young, but now that I’m lowering myself to beg you shamelessly, you still remain unmoved. I always thought I was dispensable in your heart, and it turns out that’s really true…”

As Princess Yuqing spoke, her eyes reddened.

She bit her lip, but still managed to say the words she least wanted to utter: "You, Cui Yan, as the Grand Secretary, have lofty ambitions and care for all the people under heaven, yet there is no place for me..."

"That's enough! I'm tired too. Let's go our separate ways and not interfere with each other. We'll each live our own lives. No matter how many beautiful wives you marry, I won't stop you anymore."

After Princess Yuqing finished speaking, she turned to leave.

Granny Feng's brows were furrowed so deeply they could kill a fly; she wanted to step forward and stop her master.

They finally got together after so much trouble, and now they're even expecting a little princess. They shouldn't break up over something so trivial.

There's no hope for Lady Lu and Lord Mu as a couple.

This couple really needs to be treated well.

There has to be a perfect couple, otherwise the little princess will be a child without a father again.

Cui Yan panicked, stepped forward, grabbed Yu Qing, and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly: "Qing'er, it's not like that..."

At that moment, he was afraid.

Because he saw a resolute determination in Yuqing's eyes, just like ten years ago.

He was afraid, afraid that the princess would resolutely leave.

"Qing'er, it's not like that. You are very important to me, more important than my life. I didn't want you to go because I was afraid you would be in danger."

"Really?"

"I swear, if this is false, if I have no feelings for Qing'er, may I die a horrible death."

"Alright, I'll believe you for now." Princess Yuqing was still not satisfied, so she grabbed Cui Yan's arm and bit him.

This guy is really something; you can't get a single truth out of him unless you use some killer moves.

Cui Yan let her bite him without moving.

He hugged her and said, "Are you calmed down? If you are, hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold."

“I’ll pack my bags and come with you in a bit. After that, I’ll be your page. Don’t even think about getting rid of me.”

Cui Yan smiled slightly, pursing her lips: "Alright, little page."

Princess Yuqing was relieved to sit down and eat after he gave in.

Seeing that the two ancestors had reconciled, Granny Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had almost thought that the princess was really going to turn against her.

These two individuals are a princess and the current chief minister.

Each one was more arrogant than the last.

Someone has to be willing to back down.
