Chapter 377 Exploitation
Miao Yueji sat in front of the dressing table, combing the ends of her black hair over and over again, with a hint of sadness between her brows that could not be concealed.
She had been hesitating at home for several days. The day of entering the palace was approaching, and she had not yet thought of a reason to go to the Liu Mansion, after all, that was her grandmother's maiden home.
What did the granddaughter do at her grandmother's parents' home before entering the palace?
It looks like a ghost at first glance.
The main reason was that she was afraid that something bad would happen to the eldest prince.
His Majesty has spies everywhere. If the eldest prince says something he shouldn't...
It's over.
"Young lady, the lady wants to see you."
The maid's respectful and excited voice sounded behind Miao Yueji.
"What did grandma call me for?"
Miao Yueji put down the comb, looked up at the figure reflected in the mirror, and the doubts in her heart were clearly shown on her face.
She had just come back from having breakfast in her grandmother's courtyard. She had just let her hair down and was about to take a nap when her grandmother sent someone to look for her again.
"Just now, Madam's family sent someone to invite Madam to watch the third-day baptism ceremony of the fourth-generation eldest grandson of the Liu family. Madam intends to take you to share in the joyous atmosphere so that you can have a son after entering the palace."
When they talk about their young lady who is going to marry into a royal family, become a noble lady, and give birth to a prince, they, the servants in the noble lady's family, will also be able to benefit from it and feel proud of it.
The maid who was born in a family could not help but dance with joy.
"Third day bath? When?"
Miao Yueji turned her head and looked at the maid who delivered the message in confusion.
"Today."
"Is it so hasty? How can we be informed of the baptism ceremony on the same day?"
"Forget it, I understand. I'll just comb my hair and go."
Miao Yueji took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
It seemed that she had to keep this appointment.
----------------------------
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness be blessed with good health and happiness."
Miao Yueji was not surprised to see the eldest prince Qin Mingyu in Liu Mansion today.
"My dear lady, you are indeed born with a gentle and charming appearance."
The eldest prince Qin Mingyu looked closely at Miao Yueji who was bowing respectfully.
Miao Yueji's eyes flashed and she turned away.
She really couldn't accept calmly that her son from her previous life was commenting on her appearance from a man's perspective. What's more, even if he was not her son, it was still extremely offensive.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." Miao Yueji said coldly.
"Do you feel offended? But I thought I could marry you, but I never thought... my father would confer a title of noble on you."
Qin Mingyu's voice was full of emotion, and his tone was sticky, and seemed to be mixed with a hint of unclear reluctance and ambiguity.
"You call me your Majesty, and you know that I will soon become your Majesty's woman. Why does Your Highness the Crown Prince still do such a misleading thing?" Miao Yueji said angrily.
"What did I do to cause Concubine Man to misunderstand me?" Qin Mingyu looked at Miao Yueji with a smile.
Seeing Miao Yueji was about to refute, Qin Mingyu immediately reached out and covered Miao Yueji's mouth, moved closer to her face, stared into her eyes, and whispered: "Ms. Miao, I like you, but why does fate tease me like this?"
Miao Yueji widened her eyes, stood there in a daze, her mouth open but unable to speak.
The desolation on Qin Mingyu's face and in his voice made Miao Yueji feel extremely torn.
"Is it true that only when you sit on the throne of the emperor can you have everything you want?"
Qin Mingyu looked at Miao Yueji intently, smiled, tied a jade pendant around her waist, and spoke softly, full of tender affection and a bit of madness.
Miao Yueji looked at the eldest prince who seemed to be full of affection. Her eyes flickered, and she lowered her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, pretending to be deeply touched.
This dead boy.
Do you want to deceive the little girl and use her feelings to do things for him?
If she did not have the memories and experiences of her previous life, if she was just an ordinary fifteen-year-old girl, she would have been fooled and thought that the eldest prince was deeply in love with her, and she would have felt sympathy and complacency.
Who could have thought that the eldest prince would be so careless as to personally deceive a little girl?
Read as casual.
The writing is shameless and despicable.
This is her son? How did Qing Zhang teach him?
Regardless of whether she felt pity or was proud of the prince's deep love for her, wouldn't it be easy for her to be manipulated and used?
"Miss Miao, have you ever heard of my biological mother, Imperial Concubine Rou? She passed away when I was less than a year old and before I could remember anyone.
I heard from the palace servants that Miss Miao looks very much like her. I guess that's why your father took you away and made you a concubine. I didn't expect that after twenty years, your father still misses Concubine Rou."
When Qin Mingyu talked about his biological mother, Concubine Rou, he lowered his eyes, looking sad.
Miao Yueji's reaction was as he expected, shock but also a hint of - hurt and anger?
Looking at Miao Yueji's crying and stumbling back as she ran away, Qin Mingyu stopped his performance.
He just said that much. Could a little girl really get out of his palm?
Qin Mingyu shook his head.
Who would want to be a stand-in for someone?
Especially a girl who has just come of age from a wealthy family.
Life in the boudoir is monotonous and there is no need to worry about survival. A girl who is about to get married must have expectations for her husband.
Your father treats you as a substitute, and he is deeply in love with you.
He didn't need to deceive Miao Yueji's feelings in order to use Miao Yueji for his own purposes.
-----------------------------------
In the water pavilion of Liu Mansion.
"Your Highness, Concubine Shun treats you like her own son, so why bother creating trouble? If someone catches you..."
Liu Jingzhou shook his head. "The loss outweighs the gain."
"After leaving the palace, the palace and the outside world are like two different worlds to me."
"My mother is not favored, nor is she as perceptive as the other ladies. I was the last to know about what happened in the palace."
The eldest prince Qin Mingyu sneered.
"My mother loves her own son very much. No matter how much I try to please her, I can never surpass her own son. This is understandable. My biological mother died young, so I can only work hard like this."
"Your Highness." Liu Jingzhou sighed.
"I heard from my mother that Miao Yueji looks 30% similar to Mother Rou, and 50% similar to her in temperament. Mother Rou has been gone for 20 years, and my father made Miao Yueji a noble lady, perhaps because he still remembers Mother Rou.
If she can rise to a higher position with the help of Concubine Rou's mother, I would feel guilty if she doesn't give me some feedback."
Qin Mingyu raised his hand and patted Liu Jingzhou on the shoulder and said jokingly.
