Chapter 242 Gu Family is Always Your Home
Yuan Ying's face turned red because of her teasing, "Sister Yan, you are so bad——"
That timid look made Yan Qingqing burst out laughing. "Look at you, you are so thin-skinned. What's wrong? Where is the momentum you had when you trained Yunhua? I thought you were a female knight! How come you have become a little girl again?"
"I won't talk to you anymore!" She said, then stood up and ran out quickly.
Yan's smile deepened. She stretched lazily before getting out of bed and putting on her shoes.
Yuzhan happened to walk in, smiling, "Miss, are you awake? Did you sleep well last night?"
Yan Qingqing finally reacted, "How did I get back to my room last night?"
Yuzhan covered her mouth and laughed, "The prince carried you in! You didn't see the scene at that time. The old general and the old lady heard the doorman report that Prince Ling had arrived, so they wanted to go to the door to greet him. But as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw the prince carrying you out of the carriage. Then he walked all the way back to this courtyard..."
"I was following the prince at the time and was extremely nervous."
Yan Qingqing was mad, and she closed her eyes and scolded Jun Ye for being a scoundrel! He could have woken her up, but he had to do this! How would her grandparents view her?
It was originally a peaceful morning, but Yuzhan's few words stirred up ripples. When she had breakfast, she mistook the steamed bun in the bowl for Li Junye and poked it with chopsticks before stuffing it into her mouth.
Yuzhan stood by and served, wanting to laugh but not daring to, and it was very difficult to hold it in.
After she had finally finished eating with a lot of resentment, she said, "Young lady, the old lady told me last night to tell you to go to her yard after getting up this morning."
Yan Qingqing choked on the last bite of steamed bun in her throat and burped.
She kept hiccuping all the way to the old lady's Songhe Hall.
"belch--"
"What should I do? How can I go to see my grandmother?"
Yuzhin was helpless and could only worry. She heard from the old people that drinking water could stop the cramps, but the girl drank a bellyful of water and the cramps didn't stop.
It's not good to lose manners in front of elders.
But Songhe Hall is right in front of us, and we have to go in.
Nanny Wen saw her from a distance and came to greet her with a smile on her face, "Young lady, why don't you come in? The old lady has been waiting for you!"
"Burp..." Yan Qingqing burped again, and then looked at Nanny Wen embarrassedly, "Mammy, I won't be able to go see my grandmother in this state..."
Aunt Wen was amused by her appearance, "Are you confused, young lady? You are such an expert in medicine, don't you know which acupuncture points can stop hiccups?"
A word to wake up the dreamer!
She was so nervous that she even forgot her own special skills!
So she stretched out her hand and pressed on her anus for a while, and sure enough, the hiccups stopped.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
The hosta exclaimed that it was magical!
Yan gently took Madam Wen's hand and asked in a low voice, "Madam, is my grandmother angry?"
Nanny Wen was amused by her cautious look, "Miss, if the old lady is angry, do you know why?"
Yan said softly, "I know. I'm not even married yet, but I'm already flirting with Prince Ling. It's a joke and it's brought shame to the Gu family..."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Wen patted her hands and said, "Silly girl, that's not the case. Even if the old lady is angry, it will never be because you have brought shame to the Gu family... Go in, and you will understand after you see the old lady..."
"Thank you, Mammy..."
Yan Qingqing went in alone, and the jade hairpin was left outside by Nanny Wen.
Seeing the kind-faced old man, Yan Qingqing felt uneasy.
But she had to be polite, so she stepped forward and saluted properly, "Yan'er pays her respects to grandma..."
The old lady raised her hand and patted the seat next to her, motioning her to come over and sit down. Yan walked forward with her head lowered and sat down next to the old lady very stiffly.
Madam Gu held her hand, sighed deeply, and then slowly said, "Don't be nervous. Grandmother asked you to come here early in the morning, not to blame you. Your wedding date with Prince Ling is approaching, and you will soon be a legitimate couple. There is nothing wrong with him sending you back home today... It's just that the situation in the court has changed subtly. You are about to marry into the prince's mansion, so there are some things that grandma wants to talk to you about..."
Yan nodded gently, "Yan'er knows that even a legitimate couple needs to observe etiquette in front of others. Last night, it was Yan'er's fault. Yan'er shouldn't have had such an intimate behavior with Prince Ling, embarrassing grandpa and grandmother..."
The old lady sighed, "It's okay. Grandma was young once too. When she was your age, she also did some extraordinary things. All the rules and regulations in this world are used to restrain women. When men and women can't help themselves, the world blames women. How unfair... I don't want my granddaughter to be bound by these so-called rules and etiquette. I just hope that she can marry a good man and live a smooth, peaceful and happy life..."
Yan leaned lightly on the old lady's shoulder, feeling only touched.
"Grandmother, Yan'er promises you that no matter what Yan'er will be like in the future, Yan'er will be herself and will not compromise for the secular world. No matter what the court becomes, I will protect the Gu family and will not let the Gu family fall into conspiracy and cannot extricate themselves..."
The old lady touched her head and said, "Granny really doesn't know what to say to you, kid... You grew up without the care of your elders and in hardship. It's rare that you don't feel resentment towards us... In the future, no matter what you have, don't forget that the Gu family will always be your home and will always be your strong backing in the world. Remember?"
"it is good……"
The old lady's tone suddenly became serious. "Ying'er is about to marry Prince Yu, and you are about to marry Prince Ling. Now it seems that Prince Yu has no intention of competing with the crown prince. Because he has just recovered his status and has no foundation in the court, but over time, people will change with the environment... When he adapts to the power and prosperity in Kyoto, there is no guarantee that he will not have other thoughts... If one day, trouble comes from within, you have to save your sister..."
No one could guarantee what would happen in the future, so Yan Qingqing had no choice but to nod and agree.
If Prince Yu and the Crown Prince were to fight, Prince Ling would definitely stand on the Crown Prince's side, there is no doubt about that. Prince Yu, I hope he will not forget his original intention and continue the story of the deep brotherly love between Your Majesty and Prince Ling. Today's court has undergone a major reshuffle, and there is a lot of work to be done. Da'an can no longer withstand turmoil...
"Don't worry, grandma. From what I've seen, Sister Ying is a blessed person. Moreover, she has her own order in her heart and will not be easily influenced by others. If that day really comes, she will be able to save herself."
