Chapter 233 Difficult Forbearance
Murong Yuan didn't care about her awful appearance at this moment, and rushed directly towards Murong Yanhui. Murong Yanhui calmly moved aside slightly, and Murong Yuan suddenly bumped into the door frame, grimacing in pain.
"Yuan'er, why don't you go wash up first? How can you look so undignified!" Queen Li couldn't bear to watch it any longer and scolded her. She really didn't know what sins she had committed in her previous life to...
Gave birth to such a daughter.
Murong Yanhui also frowned, "Yuan'er, what's that smell on you? Go wash up."
Murong Yuan blushed after hearing Murong Yan's reply. She was immediately furious. It was all Yu Qingli's fault. She had embarrassed herself in front of the young emperor's uncle! She would never let her off so easily!
Murong Yanhui's gaze moved away from Murong Yuan and fell on Yu Qingli's face, and then never moved again.
This has almost become Murong Yanhui's job these days. He comes to the Jiying Palace at dawn every day and does not go back until the moon rises in the courtyard.
Rumors began to spread throughout the palace that Prince Yan had fallen in love with the eldest prince's wife and was deeply in love with her.
Isn't that just infatuation? Even though Yu Qingli ignored him, he still visited her on time every day, without saying a word or doing anything, just looking at Yu Qingli, as if he wanted to melt all the love in his heart into this sight.
Yu Qingli responded indifferently to Murong Yanhui's behavior. She didn't speak to him or make any contact with him, treating him as if he were air.
Even so, Murong Yan was still unable to back down.
Empress Li couldn't help but feel a little worried. Compared to the Prince of Yan's enthusiasm, her own son was really a worry. Her woman was being targeted so covetously, yet he seemed to have no reaction at all! He was nowhere to be seen all day, and no one knew where he had gone.
If Queen Li knew that Murong Feng was fooling around with a lowly maid at this moment, I wonder what her expression would be.
"Your Majesty, I have observed that the Crown Princess is very knowledgeable about all aspects of palace etiquette. Sometimes she is even more proficient and familiar with them than I am. I believe she must have done her homework before entering the palace. Therefore, I have nothing more to teach her."
The woman named Xi Ma reported to the queen very seriously. It seemed that she was very satisfied with the performance of the eldest prince's wife.
"Thank you very much, Madam. As for Yuan'er..."
The nanny's expression changed noticeably. "As for Her Highness, please forgive my inability to teach you the princess. If Your Highness wishes to teach her etiquette, it would be best to find a dedicated instructor."
Queen Li's face turned ugly. This teaching nanny was someone close to the Queen Mother. If she said that she was not capable of teaching Yuan'er, wouldn't it be equivalent to saying that Yuan'er was hopeless?
"Mammy, thank you for your help..."
"Your Majesty, I still have to report to the Queen Mother, so I will take my leave first. Actually, there is no need to worry about the princess. The princess is still young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
The teaching nanny said this and slipped away as if escaping. It seemed that Murong Yuan was really a person that everyone in the palace feared.
However, although others were afraid of her, Yu Qingli was not. She had many ways to deal with this future aunt-in-law because she suddenly discovered that as long as she kept a distance from Murong Yanhui, Murong Yuan would basically not cause trouble for her. Moreover, it seemed that in the entire palace, the only one who could make Murong Yuan obedient was Murong Yanhui.
I really don’t know what kind of bad fate this is.
"Qingli, since you don't have to learn the rules from today on, then go walk around more in Ju'an Palace. Feng'er has a gentle personality and hasn't been able to spend time with you these days. Don't be angry.
"Auntie, you're worrying too much. Brother Feng is a man who wants to do great things. How can he be trapped by love affairs all day long? Auntie, don't worry. Qingli knows how to handle this."
These few words really touched Queen Li's heart, and she immediately became even more satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.
Murong Yuan, who had already changed her clothes and emerged, sarcastically said, "Hypocrisy! You really want to play with your brother, right? Maybe you even want him to pay attention to you all day long. But unfortunately, it seems like your brother doesn't care about you at all. I think you'd better get back home before you get married, so as to avoid embarrassment in the future."
"Murong Yuan, you are too presumptuous! Why don't you apologize!"
When Queen Li saw Yu Qingli's face change, she couldn't help but feel nervous. This Yuan'er, did she really not know or was she pretending not to know? Yu Qingli was like a hot commodity now, and many people were waiting to take her over. But this damn girl just wanted to go against her. If she really changed her mind and followed Prince Yan or the Emperor, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
This damn girl, I really don’t know what’s wrong with her.
"I'm not apologizing. Why should I apologize to this lowly woman? Her mother is just a small businesswoman..."
Yu Qingli had an expressionless face as she slowly walked to Murong Yuan's side. Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and the chill emanating from her body made Murong Yuan swallow involuntarily. "You, what do you want to do?"
Yu Qingli's eyes were bright, and she could see through people's hearts directly. She looked at the arrogant Murong Yuan steadily, "Your Highness, my father is the current Prime Minister, and my mother is the Queen's biological sister. I wonder how such an identity can be described as lowly in the eyes of Your Highness. Princess, don't forget that you and I are directly related!"
Yu Qingli's words left Murong Yuan speechless. She could only stand there stupidly, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Queen Li looked at Yu Qingli with admiration. She had thought she would be a flower in a greenhouse, but she didn't expect that after shedding her warm outer shell, she would turn out to be a rose with thorns.
Sure enough, this is the perfect woman for Feng'er! A perfect balance of strength and gentleness! Intelligent and sharp! Great! That's wonderful!
Although they were both women, Queen Li admired Yu Qingli very much at this time. It was an admiration based on her ability to make contributions to her son's career. Whenever she thought that such a woman would stand by Murong Feng's side to help him, Queen Li's heart couldn't help but boil.
"Your Majesty, Qingli is a little tired today, so I won't ask you to stay for dinner. I'll excuse you."
Yu Qingli saluted the queen respectfully, then walked straight past everyone present and headed towards the imperial garden.
Xiluo also followed closely.
The autumn wind suddenly blew, blowing the fallen leaves on the ground around. Yu Qingli looked at the golden ground with indifference, and involuntarily tightened the brocade robe in her hands.
An exquisite cloak fell on Yu Qingli's shoulders, causing her to sigh. "I know I was a little impulsive today, but when I heard her say that my mother was just a merchant's daughter, I was really angry. The deceased is gone, so what right does she have to slander her? Besides, my mother's heart is ten thousand times nobler than theirs..."
"This King knows..."
Yu Qingli turned her head in surprise, only to find that the person behind her was not Xiluo but Murong Yanhui. He looked at Yu Qingli with a distressed face. Although Yu Qingli had been deliberately enduring these days, he could still see from her eyes that she was not happy. If that was the case, why did she make herself live in such pain?
Murong Yanhui didn’t understand, she really didn’t understand.
"Lili..."
"Sorry!" Yu Qingli stretched out her hand to reject Murong Yanhui's outstretched hand. She didn't need anyone else's warmth! Especially now, all she could do was stand up on her own.
Murong Yanhui felt a little lost. Even if he couldn't get her love immediately, at least he hoped to be able to stay by her side.
However, it seems that even such a small request has become a luxury.
Yu Qingli, what should he do with her! Obviously, he just wanted to protect her, just wanted to be by her side, to see a smile on her lips, it was that simple!
"Your Majesty, please don't come here again. Your behavior is very disturbing to me."
"Lili, do you really hate me that much?"
"Yeah, it's annoying!" Yu Qingli said softly. She hated the fact that this person kept teasing her heart and making her feel wavering.
Yu Qingli didn't want to go on like this. She didn't want this to happen again. She lived for revenge in this life. Apart from revenge, she didn't want to be distracted by anything!
Murong Yanhui stood behind Yu Qingli, listening to the words that were as sharp as ice knives in her ears, and felt a dull pain in her heart! Even if she didn't want to love him, at least she shouldn't hate him!
"Lili, I'm sorry. Maybe I've been too wishful all along, but I can't..."
Warm liquid flowed from Murong Yanhui's eyes, surprising him. What was it? Tears? They say men don't cry easily, but only when they're heartbroken. So, this time, he was truly heartbroken!
Yu Qingli sensed something was wrong behind her and turned around abruptly. Amidst the falling petals, the man was in tears. His pride, his self-esteem, his unrestrained and uninhibited manner were all gone at this moment. All that was left was full of hurt, the extreme vulnerability of a man who had been hurt by the woman he loved.
At this moment, Yu Qingli was deeply shocked! What kind of mood would make Murong Yanhui show such an expression? She didn't want to explore it. She was afraid that the more she touched the truth, the deeper she would fall into it.
The autumn wind, accompanied by the dancing fallen leaves, blinded Yu Qingli's eyes. She turned around abruptly, hiding the fragility in her eyes. No! She couldn't be soft-hearted. Murong Yanhui was just a passer-by in her life. They shouldn't have too much involvement, as in the past life and in this life!
Yu Qingli slowly left and gradually faded out of Murong Yanhui's sight, as if she had missed a lifetime!
