Chapter 371 A family reunion
in the dark.
The carriage started moving.
The only sounds on the quiet street were the clatter of horses' hooves and the rumble of cart wheels.
Princess Yuqing glared at Cui Yan, "Are you crazy? This is the palace. If someone with ulterior motives sees us here, we'll both be in trouble."
Over the years, whenever Cui Yan saw her, he avoided her like the plague, keeping as far away as possible.
It's quite strange that he took the initiative to seek her out today.
And it was right at the palace gate.
When did he become so reckless?
“I…I have something to tell you…” Cui Yan was unsure how to begin.
Especially now, by the candlelight, one can finally see the weariness and impatience on Yuqing's face.
He somewhat regretted his impulsive decision to pull the princess onto the carriage.
But he absolutely won't be able to sleep tonight until he finds out the truth.
It's fair to say he was extremely anxious and couldn't eat or sleep.
He simply said, "Miaomiao is at the Cui residence; she wants to see you."
"How could that be?" Lu Qingyao had already told Miaomiao about her trip to the Cui residence with Princess Rong'an.
Even if Miaomiao were to look for her mother, she wouldn't look for her biological mother.
Princess Yuqing was aware of this.
This was Cui Yan's excuse for wanting to see her.
This person always says one thing and means another.
Moreover, this was the first time she had ever seen Cui Yan so abnormal and emotionally unstable.
She didn't care what Cui Yan wanted to say; all she knew was that she was very sleepy and couldn't even lift her eyelids.
If Cui Yan didn't say anything soon, she would fall asleep.
“Cui Yan, it’s late, Miao Miao is probably asleep. We can talk about it tomorrow.”
Cui Yan refused, saying, "Let's go now."
"Why are you so stubborn? What's wrong with seeing me tomorrow?" Princess Yuqing rolled her eyes at Cui Yan, but she couldn't do anything about his obstinacy.
He simply leaned quietly against the railing, his eyes half-closed, and said nothing more.
She is actually a very vigilant person, but she feels very safe around Cui Yan.
Cui Yan looked at her, and many times the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.
He wanted to hear the truth from Yuqing himself, in front of Miaomiao.
However, the woman actually fell asleep!
She fell asleep leaning on his shoulder, and he couldn't wake her up no matter how many times he called her.
When the first rays of sunlight stream into the room through the stained-glass window in the early morning.
Miao Miao woke up.
As soon as I open my eyes.
A beautiful woman's face came into view.
startled.
Am I dreaming or just half asleep?
Was she not at the Cui residence, but at the princess's residence?
Otherwise, how could he have seen the princess the moment he opened his eyes?
But the bedding and bed curtains were all unfamiliar; she was still at Uncle Cui's house. She wasn't dreaming.
Miao Miao instantly regained her senses.
Wow! Uncle Cui is amazing.
He had only been gone for a day, yet he had already managed to bring the princess to his home.
Could it be that he's planning to keep a mistress in a gilded cage?
Now there's no escaping it; I can start calling him "Daddy" now.
She shook Princess Yuqing, "Mother, wake up, look where you are!"
Not unexpected, not surprised!
Princess Yuqing suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the child lying on the bed, grinning foolishly at her. Only then did she realize what was happening.
He suddenly stood up.
He's gone mad, Cui Yan must have gone mad.
They actually brought her back to the Cui family!
"Princess, this is what Lord Cui prepared for you. He will be here soon." Xi'er entered the room carrying a set of blue clothes.
"You want me to wear this?" Princess Yuqing looked at the clothes in Xi'er's hands with a look of disgust.
They actually dared to make her wear a maid's clothes.
"Your Highness, Lord Cui also said that if you don't want rumors to spread tomorrow that Princess Yuqing and Prime Minister Cui have an affair, you can wear your own clothes." Xi'er stole a glance at the princess.
Princess Yuqing's face darkened, and her delicate eyebrows were furrowed.
I think Cui Yan must have done it on purpose.
Cui Yan lingered in the courtyard for a long time. Only when Miao Miao and her daughter finished washing up and had breakfast did he enter the house. When he saw Princess Yuqing dressed as a maid, he was taken aback at first, and then sat down opposite her.
The princess looked completely different now, without her usual haughty demeanor, and resembled a pretty young woman.
He watched as the mother and daughter sat down right in front of him.
A genuine warmth welled up in his heart.
It felt like a different world.
It felt like a dream; I've only ever seen such a scene in dreams.
He thought he would grow old alone without a wife or children.
Unexpectedly, God has been kind to him, sending him such a lovely daughter.
Princess Yuqing pretended not to see the person opposite her and lowered her head to drink her porridge.
Who wants to be seen like this?
Cui Yan moved to sit next to her and said, "Yuqing, I know everything. Miaomiao is my daughter. Let's get married."
"Pfft..." Princess Yuqing finished her porridge, took a sip of tea to rinse her mouth, and then sprayed it at Cui Yan.
She started thinking about it the moment she woke up.
Cui Yan is behaving so strangely.
She guessed that Cui Yan must have realized that Miao Miao was his daughter.
But the first thing they said was that they wanted to get married.
It really startled her.
But look at Cui Yan, the prime minister, whose face was sprayed with mouthwash and still had rice grains stuck to it.
She couldn't help but burst into laughter, almost laughing herself to death.
She then took out a handkerchief to wipe him clean.
Miao Miao's little mouth was wide open.
Uncle Cui, no, I should call him Father now.
Daddy is too fierce.
He's going to marry the princess right away, even though she's a widow now. But it hasn't been three years since Consort Cao died.
And isn't it said that princesses cannot marry powerful ministers?
The emperor's maternal grandfather feared that powerful ministers would use the princess's name to plot a rebellion.
Is my father planning to resign from his official post?
Or is he just making empty promises to the princess?
Cui Yan was not annoyed at all by the princess spraying him with mouthwash; on the contrary, he enjoyed the way she wiped him clean.
He cherishes the time he spends with his family of three like this now.
Don't waste time on negative emotions.
He never liked beating around the bush, and he couldn't bring himself to say sorry or regret.
So he directly said that he wanted to marry Yuqing.
This was the most sincere thing he could say, despite the many difficulties.
He also keeps his word.
Princess Yuqing trusted Cui Yan; he was a man who never boasted or made empty promises.
The only time he broke his promise to her was when he said he would marry her, but hesitated after learning her identity.
It was that hesitation that led her to impulsively marry Cao Chong.
"Cui Yan, what nonsense are you talking about? Have you forgotten our identities?" Princess Yuqing threw the soiled handkerchief into his hand.
"Give me a year, give me a year."
"Cough cough cough..." Miao Miao coughed a few times.
These two completely ignored her presence.
“Miaomiao…” Princess Yuqing then realized she had neglected her daughter and pulled her in front of Cui Yan. “Cui Yan, Miaomiao is your daughter. Take a good look at her.”
She had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
From the moment I became pregnant with this child, I wanted to tell him that he had a daughter.
I also want to tell him when the child is born.
However, while she was excited, she also felt very guilty.
It was because of her mistake that Miaomiao was lost.
Will Cui Yan blame her?
