After the press conference, Ye Qing carried the sleeping Little Gugu back to the palace.
The butler said carefully, “Your Highness, the Queen wants you to go to her palace.”
Ye Qing loosened his tie, his eyes dark as he hummed softly.
Going upstairs, Ye Qing put Little Gugu on the bed, covered him with the blanket, and took his phone to take a look.
During the press conference, he had video-called Gu Meng.
He was not a hundred percent sure if she would return to the fishing village the day after tomorrow.
Ye Qing curled his long index finger and scratched the tip of Little Gugu’s nose lightly. “It all depends on your charm.”
…
In the Queen’s Palace.
The magnificent hall was as bright as day. The Queen was not the only one sitting on the sofa. Mu Sihan and Ye Fengjun were also there.
The Queen’s expression was serious, unlike how she usually looked when she saw Ye Qing’s kind face.
They probably knew about the movie and press conference!
“Brother, sit here.” Mu Sihan never put on airs in front of Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was about to sit beside Mu Sihan when the Queen coughed. “What happened at the press conference?”
Ye Qing’s deep and narrow eyes were so dark that it seemed like no light could enter them. He pursed his lips. “Xiaomeng is still alive. I want to be with her.”
When the Queen heard this, she slapped the table hard. Seeing this, Ye Fengjun went forward and patted the Queen’s back. “Mom, don’t be agitated.”
“How can I not be excited? All of them are being disobedient.” The Queen glanced at Mu Sihan as if she did not see him. It meant that he had disobeyed her many times for Nan Zhi.
There was no emotion on Mu Sihan’s handsome and cold face, but the words he said were infuriating. “Grandma, with my brother’s personality, it’s rare for him to meet a woman that he loves to the core. Besides, without Gu Meng, my brother would have died a long time ago. How could he still be here for you to scold him?”
The Queen panted. “Did I scold him?”
“Your gaze and tone are even more ruthless than scolding him.”
Under the strict rules of the royal family, the Queen was once the highest authority. Ye Qing had always listened to her and had never disobeyed her.
But when it came to Gu Meng, he did what he wanted even though he knew that the Queen would not agree.
The Queen furrowed her eyebrows when she heard Mu Sihan’s words. “Did you lead your brother astray?”
Mu Sihan’s tall body leaned against the sofa, a smile on his lips. “I’m innocent.”
The atmosphere in the living room immediately lightened up.
Ye Qing took the chance to say, “Grandma, I want to live for myself once. If you don’t agree, just treat me as your grandson who is no longer around after the plane crash.”
How could the people present not understand what Ye Qing meant?
If they did not agree to him being with Gu Meng, he would rather give up the throne and live the most ordinary life, and be the most ordinary person.
The Queen’s expression changed. She was about to flare up when Mu Sihan said first, “Grandma, it’s hard to say if my brother can get her back! Don’t think that he’s a charmer that can just get the girl back to his side obediently with the snap of his fingers.”
Ye Qing’s lips twitched. “Sihan, don’t underestimate your brother’s charm.”
“I believe in my nephew’s charm.”
Ye Qing was speechless.
After Ye Qing and Ye Fengjun left, Mu Sihan stayed in the Queen’s Palace for a while before he took out a sachet. “Zhizhi asked her Brother Gu Sheng to make this. You put it under the pillow and there are more than ten types of flowers and plants inside. It can improve your sleep, calm your emotions and relieve stress.”
The Queen took the sachet and sniffed it. It was not thick, not pungent, and smelled fresh and natural.
“Don’t think that I’ll agree to your brother marrying a woman whose family background is not right just because you gave me something.”
Mu Sihan crouched down beside the Queen, and his dark eyes narrowed slightly. “Grandma, Gu Meng jumped off the highway when she was still a child. Does this have anything to do with you?”
“Of course not.That was her own idea…” Before the Queen could finish her words, she realized that she had been tricked by Mu Sihan and the hand holding the sachet patted the top of his head.” How did you know? ”
“I guessed.”
“You’re smarter than your brother.”
“My brother probably guessed it as well, but he just didn’t want to expose you in person.”
The Queen was speechless.
Mu Sihan looked at the Queen’s glare and suddenly felt that the Old Madam was a little cute. He reached out and grabbed the Queen’s hand. “My brother is someone who has followed the rules since he was young and never broke the rules of the royal family. For him to do such a romantic and daring thing for a woman, I think we should support him.”
“Even if we don’t object to him marrying a commoner girl, the difference in their backgrounds will make the royal family look down on his Princess Consort. As time passes, conflicts will appear. Sihan, you and the Queen are together happily and are respected by everyone. Other than your love and care, there’s also the Queen’s strong family background.”
How could Mu Sihan not understand what the Queen was saying?
He understood, and so did Ye Qing. That was why he had talked to him in length. If there was no place for Gu Meng in the royal family, Ye Qing would take her away and be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life.
“Let my brother make his own decision. I’ll fight against the royal family’s objection for him!”
…
Ye Qing brought Little Gugu to the fishing village the day before Gu Meng’s birthday.
It was the first time Little Gugu had come to the place where his mother used to live. It was too different from the royal family.
He did not feel any difference, but found it strange and interesting.
The people in the fishing village already knew Ye Qing’s identity. Seeing a luxurious sedan driving in, the villagers were very enthusiastic.
Apart from the Gu family.
Because Gu Jiao had seduced Ye Qing two years ago, she had slandered him and had gone to jail for two years.
She had just been released.
Her mind and body had been severely hurt.
She shivered when she heard the words’ Third Prince ‘. Knowing that he was here, she asked Mrs Gu to close the door, afraid that he would come and find trouble with her again.
Because of Gu Jiao going to jail and because of Gu Meng’s disappearance, Mrs Gu hated Ye Qing.
But she was not as powerful as him, so she could only swallow her bitterness and hatred.
Mrs Gu did not dare to say anything to offend Ye Qing, but Gu Che, who had a good relationship with Gu Meng since they were young, was different. He had not heard from Gu Meng for two years. When he heard that Ye Qing had come and that it was Ah Dai from back then, he was so angry that he had hurt her sister’s heart and made her disappear without a trace. He wanted to kill him!
Ignoring Mrs Gu’s obstruction, Gu Che took a stick and sneaked into the house that Ah Dai used to live in.
Before long, he heard the sound of a car engine.
He held his breath and held the rod tightly, his handsome face tensed.
With a creak, the door was pushed open. Gu Che was about to hit the rod when a childish voice suddenly sounded. “Daddy, this is the house where you and Mommy got pregnant with me!”
