On New Year's Eve, hundreds of lanterns were lit in the Prince Yu Mansion. Each one was a court exclusive, delicate and extraordinary. As she walked, Ning Yue took a look, and could not help but exclaim.
"Such a generous person!"
"Beautiful, these glass lanterns are so beautiful. I thought that glass lantern was already very expensive, and I was thinking of finding a good gift to return.
She did not expect that after coming to the Prince Yu Mansion, the glass lanterns were everywhere. How extravagant... Ning Yue walked and complained. These are all people's hard work...
Xiao Xueyi smiled and looked at her. He rarely saw such a lively Ning Yue.
Zhongli Mingye had set up the New Year's Eve feast in the Cloud Pavilion. He had only invited Xiao Xueyi and Ning Yue.
Originally, all the officials would celebrate together, but this year, Crown Prince had approved all the officials to be home with their families for the New Year.
As they reached the Cloud Pavilion, she saw a young woman in charge carrying a pink baby. The baby was only a few months old, and was very cute. She had done her homework earlier, and knew that this child was the Crown Prince's grandson, with the nickname Yuanbao.
He was also Zhongli Mingye and Song Jinyu's child.
But... before Ning Yue could step forward to greet them,
The woman and the maidservant beside her suddenly became excited, and surrounded Ning Yue together.
"Your Highness!"
Ning Yue opened her mouth, and her face turned red. "I... I'm not..." She wanted to say that she was not Song Jinyu, but the maid did not care about her resistance, and directly hugged her!
Are the maidservants in the Prince Yu Mansion all so bold!
Xiao Xueyi looked at them. The maid was Niaoniao, and the aunt in charge was Mincui. They had both served Song Jinyu before. This arrangement was probably Zhongli Mingye's idea.
Big Yuanbao rolled his eyes, and suddenly, he seemed to be attracted by something. His big eyes stared at Ning Yue. Ning Yue also liked this little baby very much,
But she did not go overboard to coax him. After all, he was the Crown Prince's grandson.
Not long later, Big Yuanbao started to fuss for Ning Yue to carry him. Ning Yue was very nervous. She had never carried a baby before,
What should she do?
She was inexplicably irritated, but Zhongli Mingye did not stop the Crown Prince's grandson. She could not do anything to this soft little guy. For a moment, she was in a mess.
Zhongli Mingye looked at her tenderly. "Miss Ning Yue, the Crown Prince's grandson really likes you. It seems that you two are very fateful!"
Ning Yue stared at him. What did he mean by that? She looked at Xiao Xueyi helplessly, but the other party only lowered his head to drink, and did not notice her embarrassing situation.
In desperation, she could only pick up Big Yuanbao. Whoa! So heavy... She carried him clumsily, and was afraid that he would fall to the ground.
She would not want her head!
Big Yuanbao was very lively. He rolled his eyes, and saw the flower on Ning Yue's head. He reached out and grabbed it.
Ning Yue accompanied him with a smile, but she was suffering inside. Today, she could not lose face...
Mincui looked at them sadly. They were clearly mother and son. But now... after such a long separation, her master seemed like a stranger.
Fortunately, when Big Yuanbao reached Ning Yue's arms, he was extremely well-behaved. His big eyes fluttered, and his small mouth blew bubbles.
"Yaya... Yaya" Because of the baby's appearance, the atmosphere at the table became much better. Zhongli Mingye stood up, and stood with Ning Yue, and coaxed Big Yuanbao.
Ning Yue looked at him in surprise. "He, he is smiling!" Everyone looked at her, and their gazes were very complicated. Some people only felt sad, while some people only felt regretful.
She, was she Song Jinyu?
She looked at Mincui, and her phoenix eyes flashed with an inexplicable emotion. Mincui understood, and not long later, Ning Yue suddenly felt a burst of heat on her body. This heat was...
Heavens... Big Yuanbao actually... peed...
Ning Yue's face turned red and white. Fortunately, Mincui saw her embarrassment. "Miss Ning Yue, follow this servant to change your clothes!"
Zhongli Mingye calmly drank the wine in his cup, and looked at Xiao Xueyi. His phoenix eyes flashed with a hint of malice. "Palace Master, today, I invited you here... to give you another chance..."
"Who is she!"
Mincui picked up Big Yuanbao and brought him down to clean up, while Niaoniao supported Ning Yue to change her clothes.
It was still their bedroom from before. As soon as she entered, Ning Yue saw that the bedroom was very exquisitely decorated, and was elegant in its simplicity.
The delicate dressing table was inexplicably familiar. For some reason, a picture of a boudoir appeared in her mind. Through the carved screen window,
A handsome man was painting his beloved wife's eyebrows. The couple was very loving.
Just thinking about it, she suddenly felt sad, and her head was very painful. Her body swayed, and she almost fell.
Fortunately, Niaoniao was quick,
"Miss, be careful!"
She was slightly trembling, in Niaoniao's eyes. This was her eldest miss, a master who had once burned the Golden Water Palace for her. She was also the mistress of this mansion.
It was a pity...
Yesterday, she heard the Crown Prince's instructions. Today, she must find out her identity.
Now, Niaoniao was very worried... If this young miss did not have that pink scar like a petal,
Then, His Highness, how sad would he be!
Not only Zhongli Mingye, but even they, as servants, would be sad. After all, Big Yuanbao was only a few months old, and his mother had committed suicide by jumping into the river for the entire Daxia Royal Family!
Right now, she could not care about being sad. She had specially chosen the clothes. She had prepared hot water...
"Let this servant change your clothes and bathe you!" Ning Yue felt awkward being served to change her clothes, so she rejected Niaoniao's suggestion.
Niaoniao did not force her, and only retreated behind the screen. Her eyes stared at her tightly.
Ning Yue took off her clothes one by one, until her middle clothes gently slid off her shoulders. Niaoniao's eyes filled with tears,
On her shiny back, it was as white as jade. There was only...
She covered her mouth, and silently cried... God... It was really fate playing tricks on people!
As she was bathing, Ning Yue felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, this Crown Prince's grandson should not have peed so easily,
And he had just peed on her.
Although, a little baby's pee came as soon as it came. But it was too much of a coincidence!
Xiao Xueyi did not answer the Crown Prince's question, and instead asked, "Your Highness values Ning Yue so much. Could it be that you are using her as a substitute?"
"Heh..." Zhongli Mingye tightened his wine cup. "In this world, other than twins, no one can be copied."
"Even if they are twins, there is a difference in their personalities." Zhongli Mingye stood up. "Xiao Xueyi, if you save her. This palace will owe you a huge debt of gratitude!"
"But, if... you deceive this palace... and use her as a trade..." His phoenix eyes turned cold. "This Daxia Dynasty will no longer have the Tinger Pavilion."
Xiao Xueyi did not seem to care about this threat. "Your Highness, please do as you wish." Since the gap between him and Ning Yue had widened, Xiao Xueyi's thoughts had sunk,
As if the whole person had changed. If he had not seen her before, perhaps he would not have given birth to so many thoughts. Now, he had offended Zhongli Mingye badly,
He did not regret it either. The days he had spent with Ning Yue were really warm and happy. Those greetings and gentle care were all true.
Just for that smile, he was willing to give the Tinger Pavilion to him. During his days in the capital, Xiao Xueyi had spent every day in regret.
Niaoniao looked at him with tears all over her face. Mincui had tidied up the Crown Prince's grandson, and then quickly rushed over. Just as she was about to ask about the situation,
She saw Niaoniao's tears, and knew that, perhaps that Ning Yue...
