Chapter 458: Loving Front
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The luxurious carriage pulled by eight horses stopped in front of the princess’s residence. The door opened and a beautiful woman in luxurious clothes emerged.
The official stepped forward and held her hand. “Slow down, Your Highness.” Princess Ni Yang slowly walked down on the mahogany stool.
She was tall and slender. Even though she was middle-aged, her skin was still well-maintained. It was fair and smooth, and there were almost no wrinkles. Her black hair was combed into a high bun and decorated with a golden headdress inlaid with red agate. Long golden tassels fell and swayed slightly with her steps.
Her red skirt slowly dragged across the ground. Her slender waist and jade belt were graceful.
Her facial features were a little similar to Xiao Juan’s. They were exquisite and three-dimensional, and the ratio was perfect.
The difference was that Xiao Juan looked more murderous and cold. He was like a flower on a high mountain, making people retreat and not dare to approach rashly.
However, Princess Ni Yang was more like a blooming mandala. She was bright, moving, and flirtatious. Even though one knew that she was poisonous, one could not help but want to approach her. Their temperaments could be said to be poles apart.
Cheng Qi stepped forward and held her hand. He said gently, “Your Highness, you’re finally back. I missed you very much when you were away.” Princess Ni Yang replied with a faint smile, “I miss you too.”
At first glance, the couple was very loving.
Even Yu Niaoniao was a little suspicious and could not help but whisper to Wei Liao.
“Didn’t you say that the couple didn’t get along? They didn’t look like they are on bad terms.”
Wei Liao also lowered his voice. “The royal family cares about their reputation. Even if they’re already separate in private, they still have to pretend to be on good terms. This is called united on the outside but separated on the inside.”
Princess Ni Yang noticed a few unfamiliar faces and immediately pulled her hand out of Cheng Qi’s. She asked Yu Niaoniao with a smile, “You’re Ah Juan’s new wife, right?”
Cheng Qi also lowered his hand. At the same time, he deliberately took two steps back and distanced himself from Princess Ni Yang.
Their movements were very small, but Yu Niaoniao still saw them.
It seemed that Wei Liao was right. This couple really did not get along.
Yu Niaoniao went forward to greet her. “Greetings, Your Highness.”
In her impression, Princess Ni Yang should be an extremely difficult person to get along with. She had the typical image of an evil mother-in-law. She was already prepared to put up with difficult behavior.
Unexpectedly, Princess Ni Yang took the initiative to hold her hand and said affectionately with a smile on her face.
“I originally planned to stay in the courtyard for two more days. When I found out that you were here, I rushed back in advance. Your name is Niaoniao, right?”
Yu Niaoniao was flattered. “Yes, yes.”
Princess Ni Yang led her inside and spoke as they walked.
“Niaoniao, actually, I’ve wanted to see you for a long time. Unfortunately, we’re too far apart. I can’t see you even if I want to. Fortunately, Ah Juan brought you here this time. Otherwise, I don’t know when I would have to wait to see you.
By the way, why don’t I see Ah Juan?”
Yu Niaoniao thought to herself that she finally remembered that she had a son!
She looked sad.
“We were plotted against on the way. His Highness had an accident.”
Princess Ni Yang raised her eyebrows. “Is he dead?”
Yu Niaoniao was speechless.
Was this something a mother could say?!
She lowered her head and told him about the explosion at Xianglan Temple.
Princess Ni Yang said, “I didn’t expect him to be so unlucky to be blown up. Don’t worry, I’ll get someone to collect his corpse later.” Although she was a little surprised, she was not sad.
It was as if the life and death of her biological son were just an insignificant occurrence to her.
Yu Niaoniao looked at her blankly.
“You don’t look sad.”
Princess Ni Yang smiled gently. “He grew up in the Imperial Capital and has no feelings for me. Why should I be sad for him?”
Yu Niaoniao pursed her lower lip. The reason why Xiao Juan grew up in the Imperial Capital was that he could not survive living with her.
However, looking at Princess Ni Yang’s matter-of-fact expression, she did not feel that she had done anything wrong at all.
Yu Niaoniao could not help but say, “His Highness is your child after all.”
Princess Ni Yang said, “So what? Although I gave birth to him, that doesn’t mean I have to love him. Correspondingly, even if I die in the future, I don’t need him to send me off. It’s very fair.”
Yu Niaoniao really wanted to ask, “Since you don’t love your child, why did you give birth to Xiao Juan?”
But she swallowed the words. This question was too sharp and could easily make Princess Ni Yang unhappy.
She still had to use Princess Ni Yang to deal with Cheng Qi. She had to think of a way to build a good relationship with Princess Ni Yang.
Yu Niaoniao smiled bitterly. “You can accept it, but I can’t.”
Princess Ni Yang said slowly, “I can understand how you feel. When my first consort died, I couldn’t live with it any more than you did. I felt as if the sky had fallen.’
“By the time the second consort died, I was numb. Although he was still alive, he was no different from dead. I was used to this. There was no one in this world who could not live without anyone.”
“Even without a man, we women can still live well.”
Seeing that Yu Niaoniao was silent, she suddenly stopped and pointed at the group of gigolos behind her.
“The best way to heal a love wound is to develop a new relationship. Look at these men. Which one do you like? Take your pick. I’ll give them all to you.” Yu Niaoniao was shocked.
Before his son’s corpse turned cold, his biological mother had already started to arrange a family for his daughter-in-law?
This was really something she had not expected.
She looked at the reactions of the gigolos again. Although they were a little surprised, they did not have much resistance; it was as if they were used to this.
Yu Niaoniao politely declined. “Thank you for your kindness, but I’m not in the mood to think about this now.”
Princess Ni Yang narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly. “Do you despise them for being used by me?”
Yu Niaoniao immediately denied it. “No, no!”
Princess Ni Yang smiled.
“It doesn’t matter if you despise them. There are still a few little fellows backyard of the princess’s residence that I haven’t touched. I can give tl to you.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “There’s really no need.”
Princess Ni Yang was about to persuade her again when Cheng Qj spoke.
“Your Highness, you might not know this, but the princess consort alre someone by her side. The novelty has yet to pass. No matter who you gi she won’t accept it.”
Princess Ni Yang was very surprised. “There’s someone beside Niaoniac is it?”
Yu Niaoniao had a very bad feeling.
When she saw Cheng Qi point at Wei Liao, her heart skipped a beat.
Damn it, no!
Cheng Qi said with a smile, “It’s this Vice General Wei.”
Wei Liao was speechless.
This was beyond his expectations..
