Chapter 334 Mother and daughter recognize each other
early morning.
The sky is filled with glow.
If the sky is overcast at dawn, it will likely rain today.
But that still couldn't stop the travelers from going on their journeys.
After seeing her son off at the dock, Lu Qingyao went back to her parents' home before preparing to go back to pick up her daughter.
Before leaving, Yan'er told her everything he had seen and heard, as well as his guesses.
They even recounted in detail the changes in Princess Yuqing's expression when she heard about Prime Minister Cui, and the instructions Prime Minister Cui gave them when he mentioned Princess Yuqing.
At first glance, Cui Xiang's words didn't seem to have any problems.
But upon closer listening, one can discern a different meaning in those words.
She is now 80% certain that Miao Miao's biological father is the eldest son of Grand Tutor Cui.
So she decided to talk to her mother about how to deal with the situation next.
Miao Miao's eyebrows and eyes are becoming more and more like Princess Yuqing's.
In a few years, even she herself might start to doubt it.
Even Xiuxiu had told her more than once that she found Miaomiao somewhat like Princess Yuqing.
When Madam Lu heard that her granddaughter's biological father was Cui Yan, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
That's pretty unbelievable.
Her daughter actually picked up a princess, and the little guy is from the Cui family.
An orphan girl, in a flash, became a favored daughter of heaven.
Princess Yuqing, daughter of a prime minister, adopted daughter of the Duke of Shen, niece of the Princess of Liang…
The Cao family, the Cui family, the Mu family, the Liang Prince's Mansion, and then there's the Lu family.
This young girl has more powerful backers than any of the princesses or noblewomen in the palace.
It's a pity that they can't be recognized as ancestors.
After discussing it, the mother and daughter decided to wait and see.
Lu Qingyao went to the princess's residence to pick up Miaomiao.
Upon hearing this, the servants informed Granny Feng, and then let her in.
When Granny Feng saw her, it was as if she had seen a savior. She grabbed her arm and said, "Madam Lu, you've finally come."
"Did Miao Miao upset His Highness?" This was the first time Lu Qingyao had ever seen Granny Feng so panicked.
I thought the little guy had gotten into trouble again.
"No, Madam Lu, you should go see for yourself." Granny Feng didn't say anything more and directly pulled Lu Qingyao towards the princess's bedroom.
Upon entering the hall, one could see two beautiful women, one tall and one short, sitting opposite each other, locked in a fierce argument.
They crossed their arms and turned their heads away, ignoring each other.
"Miaomiao," Lu Qingyao called out to her daughter.
Hearing her mother's voice, Jiang Miaomiao climbed up from the prayer mat and ran towards Lu Qingyao, calling out, "Mother... Mother."
The little guy spoke in a childish voice, looking all wronged.
She hates being forced.
Not to mention the fact that she recognized her mother, which was all too sudden.
She hadn't noticed anything at all before.
Besides, anyone in this situation would be terrified and incredulous; that's the normal reaction.
The princess asked her to call her "mother," but she couldn't bring herself to do it, neither from a logical nor emotional perspective.
Even if you want to shout, you have to ask your mother's permission.
For her, the kindness of being raised was greater than the kindness of being born.
Moreover, she was a time traveler, which meant that Princess Yuqing, who had never raised her and had only spent a few months with her, was different.
Aside from the feelings that have just blossomed from spending time together, there is nothing else.
However, Jiang Miaomiao was still very curious about what her mother and the princess had talked about; they would probably mention her background.
So the little red bird was left in the main hall again.
This was the first time Princess Yuqing had seen Miaomiao and Madam Lu interact like this; it was so natural and genuine.
When Miaomiao was with her, it always felt like she was deliberately getting close to her and trying to please her.
Now that her true identity has been revealed, she still refuses to call her "Mother."
Stubborn to the extreme.
Thinking about this, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
She blamed herself for being too stupid, for so easily trusting Cao Chong and his mother, which led to their separation.
Lu Qingyao caught the little dumpling running towards her and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Princess Yuqing's eyes.
If she wasn't mistaken, her eyes were full of disappointment, and there was even a hint of jealousy.
She felt a chill run down her spine.
That look in his eyes frightened her.
This wouldn't be a big deal if it happened to someone else, but this person is a high-ranking and powerful eldest son.
Crushing a person is as easy as crushing an ant.
Miao Miao's background can no longer remain unclear.
She wants to find out the truth today.
Otherwise, this matter will weigh on your mind like a heavy stone, making you constantly anxious and fearful.
Lu Qingyao instructed Xi'er to lead her little girl away to wash her face, then personally took a towel and stepped forward, saying, "Your Highness, may I serve you in washing your face?"
Princess Yuqing was taken aback, and subconsciously nodded.
She happened to have something to say to Lu Qingyao.
"Does Your Highness like Miaomiao?" Lu Qingyao asked abruptly as she wiped the remaining makeup off Princess Yuqing's face.
Before the two officially recognized each other as family, it was her responsibility as a mother to clean up the messes the child made.
As for the future, it will be a case of the capable taking on more work.
"Of course." Princess Yuqing thought to herself, "Isn't this just asking a question I already know the answer to?"
Although she was used to being waited on, she felt quite awkward when Lu Qingyao helped her wash her face.
Thinking that Lu Qingyao had just arrived and didn't know what had just happened, he realized that Lu Qingyao was unaware of what had just occurred.
So he got straight to the point: "You must already know about Miaomiao's background, right?"
"Yeah. I know."
"Then what do you think?"
Lu Qingyao: ...
What would the princess think if she wanted to reclaim her daughter?
"What does Your Highness think?"
"I cannot openly acknowledge her for the time being, but I have already told Miaomiao about her background. I want to make it up to her, to take care of her as she grows up, and to see her every day," Princess Yuqing said frankly.
Lu Qingyao was surprised that Princess Yuqing was quite frank.
But he was too hasty; he told Miaomiao without even informing her, which might have frightened the child.
Miao Miao is so young, she probably doesn't even understand what "birth mother" and "adoptive mother" mean.
However, it's natural to say something that both sides are aware of, as if they've already reached a consensus without even realizing it.
Lu Qingyao continued, "Does Your Highness intend for Miaomiao to move back to the Princess's residence?"
Since he couldn't openly acknowledge her, yet wanted to take care of Miaomiao and see her every day, this was the only possibility.
Since the two families live so close, she has no objections as long as she can see her little girl every day.
It's not a bad thing if more people care for Miaomiao and help her take care of the child.
"Not at all, the child can continue to live in your residence." Princess Yuqing had already made up her mind.
Let Miaomiao continue to live in Lu Garden.
The main reason was that she didn't want to turn the princess's residence into a zoo.
And she also wanted to get a good night's sleep.
