Chapter 473 Deliberate explanation, making things worse
"You still dare to quibble! What do you think Ji Chuhe wants to do by going to such great lengths? Why did she invite Qin Yumo, who has nothing to do with you, to steal the limelight! She probably wants Rong Qingqing to break off the engagement with you!" The queen said while suppressing her anger.
"Mother, Qin Yumo went to the event on her own. Ji Chuhe did not invite her! I also know why Rong Qingqing has been avoiding me."
"why?"
"I heard her say with my own ears that she wanted to imitate the storybook and deliberately ignore me so that I would feel how precious she was and how hard it was to get her. Then I would cherish her even more, love only her, and even marry only her."
The Queen frowned, "Did Rong Qingqing really say such a thing?"
"That's right, I heard her say that myself, so I concluded that Rong Qingqing is not indifferent to me, but she just wants to get her son's unique love too much!"
"If that's the case, why did you go and provoke Qin Yumo again?"
"I feel that Rong Qingqing is too disrespectful to me. I have treated her so well but she is still not satisfied. What she wants is my submission. I naturally cannot let her do whatever she wants, so I am secretly competing with her. I am sure that she will bow her head first, and then she will be completely under my control."
After hearing this, the queen relaxed her guard a little.
She can still feel at ease about her son, whom she has taught carefully since he was young.
He would never be tied down by a little bit of personal affection.
What he wants is the position of crown prince, and in the future, he will become the emperor of Daxia.
Being obsessed with love will only hinder his progress and even harm her.
"No matter what your attitude towards Qin Yumo is, from now on, you must not contact her again. She is not as innocent as she seems. She has ambitions towards you." The queen pointed out directly.
"Mother, there is a reason why she is close to me. Five years ago on the Qiqiao Festival, I went out of the palace to light lanterns and happened to grab Qin Yumo who was almost knocked into the river. Because of this incident, she is grateful to me and has been thinking about repaying me." The third prince spoke slowly.
He also didn't realize that he was actually making excuses for Qin Yumo.
This is also a disguised form of maintenance.
The Queen caught it keenly.
Compared with Rong Qingqing, it is normal for the third prince to like Qin Yumo.
Because the Queen didn't like Rong Qingqing either.
This girl is too well protected by the Duke's Mansion. If Rong Qingqing is asked to use any tricks, she probably won't be able to do anything at all.
Qin Yumo is different. If Qin Yumo marries the third prince, she will definitely become his good wife.
However, when the Queen was choosing a wife for the Third Prince, she was not looking at her abilities or means.
Behind Rong Qingqing is the entire Duke's Mansion.
Even the Huaiyang Palace can be contained.
She doesn't need Rong Qingqing to be so versatile and scheming. She just needs to bear the title of the Third Prince's Consort, and that's enough.
The queen walked forward and lovingly straightened the collar of the third prince.
"No matter what Qin Yumo thinks about the incident five years ago, it should not affect you. You should know clearly what you want and must not lose the big picture for the small."
"Don't worry, mother. I will always keep it in mind."
"Go and do your business."
"Yes, mother, I will take my leave."
After the third prince left, the queen's eyes gradually turned cold.
No matter what Rong Qingqing said, she still felt that Ji Chuhe wanted to cancel the marriage.
If the wedding cannot be held as soon as possible, then Rong Qingqing will not be able to marry anyone except the Third Prince!
……
Rong Qingqing secretly booked a private room in the teahouse to listen to the storyteller tell stories about love.
As soon as she left the house, someone immediately told the Third Prince her whereabouts.
If this had happened a few days ago, the Third Prince would have certainly been happy to go.
But that day, he deliberately flattered Qin Yumo, and in the end Rong Qingqing did not come out to meet him, which made the relationship between the two particularly stiff.
At the very least, the third prince felt that the relationship between them was very stiff.
If he goes, wouldn't it be the same as him bowing his head first?
Not long after Rong Qingqing finished listening, another figure came to the teahouse.
It’s Qin Yumo.
Rong Qingqing saw Qin Yumo's figure at a glance.
The reason why she appeared here today was to hook Qin Yumo.
My sister-in-law is really good at predicting things!
My sister-in-law said that as long as she left the house, Qin Yumo would definitely come to see her.
She was even afraid that the person coming to see her was the Third Prince.
My sister-in-law said that the third prince would not come for the time being, so she didn't need to worry.
Rong Qingqing pretended not to see Qin Yumo and looked like she was absorbed in listening to the storybook.
Not long after, Qin Yumo came over.
"Miss Rong!" Qin Yumo called out in pretended surprise.
"Ms. Qin, what a coincidence." Rong Qingqing also replied in surprise.
"Ms. Rong, the teahouse is doing really well today. I looked around but couldn't find an empty seat, let alone a private room. I wonder if I can share a private room with Miss Rong? I'll pay for half of the tea money later."
"I have already paid for the tea. If you don't mind, Miss Qin, you can stay with me." Rong Qingqing responded generously.
"Thank you Miss Rong for your hospitality." Qin Yumo sat down.
"Bring some more snacks." Rong Qingqing ordered softly.
After a while, all of the teahouse's signature dim sum were served.
Qin Yumo looked at these exquisite snacks and couldn't help but take a piece to taste.
She had never eaten any good food on a normal day, let alone these.
Only in the main house could they dine with Prime Minister Qin and the old lady. The second house had its own courtyard and cooked for itself. The daily ingredients were limited, and snacks were only available on special occasions.
My aunt said that we should be frugal and she always talked about thriftiness.
Outside, she had a reputation as a virtuous wife who was thrifty and managed the household well. As a result, she and her second branch were the only ones living in poverty in Prime Minister Qin's mansion.
Rong Qingqing watched Qin Yumo eat three pieces of dessert in a row. She couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of what her sister-in-law had told her about Qin Yumo's situation in Prime Minister Qin's mansion.
Qin Yumo didn't feel very happy while eating.
There is so much that Rong Qingqing can’t finish it. If she doesn’t eat it, wouldn’t it be a waste?
Although I comforted myself in this way, I still felt a little embarrassed. When I looked up, I met Rong Qingqing's sympathetic gaze, and my heart suddenly felt like a thorn.
She quickly put the snack down and wiped the snack crumbs from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Miss Rong, that day, the Third Prince played chess with me and praised me highly. In fact, he really didn't mean anything else. There was no transgression between the Third Prince and me. Please don't misunderstand, Miss Rong." Qin Yumo took the initiative to speak.
"You mean the day when my sister-in-law hosted the event? If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it." Rong Qingqing replied indifferently.
There is no transgression, there is no transgression. Why do we need to explain it so solemnly?
Isn’t this just three hundred taels of silver that is not available here?
