I took over after the heroine of the abusive novel ran away

Chapter 111 I Want to Be the Queen Mother (4)

After hearing Fang Qingci's request, Zhao Yanan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this was a sober woman. She was really afraid that she was as love-brained as Jiang Wanwan.

Compared to what made Qin Yu love her, the requirement of being the queen mother was nothing.

Seeing Zhao Yanan's concerns, Fang Qingci sneered.

"Love? It's not like I haven't received his love. When he loved me, he made vows to me and said sweet words that made my heart blossom.

But a man’s love has a time limit. When he loves you, he will treat you like a treasure, but when he doesn’t love you anymore, he will discard you like a worn-out shoe.

Rather than forcing that fleeting love, it is better to hold on to the power in your hands. Love cannot be grasped, but power can be. "

Zhao Yanan nodded to her, "Okay, I'll help you do it."

After getting Zhao Yanan's agreement, Fang Qingci smiled with relief and said, "I am a loser. I don't have a chance to start over. I hope you can help me take good care of my mother and my grandparents. My grandparents have been protecting their country all their lives. I don't want them to be insecure in their old age because of me."

Zhao Yanan thought for a moment and then asked, "Besides your mother and grandparents, do you have any other requests? For example, children?"

Fang Qingci was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head. "No, it's up to you as to the child. As long as you can keep your rights, it doesn't matter if it's not your biological child."

It is better not to have a son who cannot see his mother's pain, who only blames her for not being able to hold his father's heart, and who cannot even help him.

------

On the second day after their wedding, Fang Qingci and Qin Yu, as a newlywed couple, needed to go to the palace to pay their respects and express their gratitude.

As the dawn broke and the sky began to turn pale, the main courtyard began to become busy.

In front of the bronze mirror, Xingyue was helping Fang Qingci comb her hair somewhat absentmindedly.

"What's wrong? Did you lose your soul?"

Fang Qingci sighed as he looked at her trance-like appearance, took the pearl earrings from her hand and put them on himself.

"Miss, yesterday, the prince was drunk, so he slept in the front yard in order not to disturb you."

Xingyue looked at Fang Qingci's face carefully and spoke hesitantly.

Fang Qingci responded calmly with "Oh!"

Xingyue looked at Fang Qingci's normal attitude and couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

How come the lady doesn't look sad at all?

"Xingyue, go set up breakfast!"

He Yue has always been more steady. Seeing Xing Yue's dazed look, she was afraid that she would not be able to control her mouth and talk nonsense again, so she quickly picked up the hairpin on the dressing table and put it on Fang Qingci's head, then told her to leave without saying a word.

Fang Qingci ignored the minor lawsuit between the two maids.

Xingyue has always been carefree, while Heyue has a mature and steady personality. They both grew up with the original owner and are extremely loyal to him.

She doesn't care about trivial matters.

During the meal, Xingyue saw Fang Qingci was alone and was about to ask if she wanted to go to the front yard to invite the prince, but Heyue pinched her arm to signal her not to speak.

He Yue has always been good at observing people's expressions. From Fang Qingci's behavior after she got up that morning, she could tell that she didn't seem to care about Prince Huai.

Since the master was not around, there was no reason for them to feel aggrieved for her.

After finishing the meal, Fang Qingci took the teacup from He Yue's hand and rinsed his mouth. A little maid came in from the door.

"Princess, the carriage is ready."

He Yue immediately helped Fang Qingci tidy up her clothes. Fang Qingci wiped her hands with a handkerchief, then stood up and walked outside.

"Let's go!"

Qin Yu comforted Fang Ruoyan all night last night and returned to the palace early in the morning. Thinking that he did not go back to the main courtyard to rest last night, and not knowing whether Fang Qingci had made a fuss, he changed his clothes and went to the main courtyard, but found nothing.

"The princess left? Where did she go?" Qin Yu's face changed slightly. Could it be that Fang Qingci went back to her parents' home just because she didn't return to her room last night?

Qin Yu's eyes turned cold and he was very angry with Fang Qingci.

It was only the second day of her wedding, and she was so disregarding of the overall situation. She was going back to her parents' home because of a small matter. Yan'er was right. Fang Qingci was an unreasonable person.

"Your Highness, today is the second day of your wedding and you need to go to the palace to pay your respects. Princess saw that it was getting late and Your Highness had not come yet. She thought that Your Highness was tired last night, so she did not disturb Him and left first." He Yue, who stayed behind, lowered her head and relayed Fang Qingci's words to Qin Yu expressionlessly.

Qin Yu's face turned dark.

Fang Qingci!

What do you mean he is tired!

On the wedding night, the groom was too tired to take his bride to the palace to pay his respects.

Outsiders don't know the inside story. If this statement gets out, how can he save face in front of the royal family in the future?

Qin Yu gritted his teeth silently and asked with a dark face, "How long has the princess been gone?"

"We just walked a short while ago. We should have just reached the door based on our walking speed."

Qin Yu snorted coldly, turned around and walked quickly towards the door.

But when he hurried to the door, it was empty and there was no sign of the carriage.

Qin Yu shouted angrily, "A Quan, go get the horse."

He would never let that evil woman tarnish his reputation.

An Qingci didn't even wait for Qin Yu. He got on the carriage and asked the coachman to set off.

Xing'er sat in the carriage, looking at Fang Qingci who was calm and composed. She thought of He Yue's instructions in the morning and never asked the question "Aren't you waiting for the prince?"

But before they had walked for long, they heard the sound of horse hooves from behind.

Xingyue lifted the curtain a little curiously and looked back, only to see Prince Huai riding a horse and catching up with her.

Xingyue was immediately delighted and quickly told Fang Qingci, "Miss, the prince is here! Should we wait?"

Fang Qingci said indifferently, "Stop!"

After the carriage stopped, Xingyue immediately got out and sat outside.

Soon Qin Yu got on the carriage with a gloomy face.

"Your Highness!" Fang Qingci nodded at him lightly.

As soon as Qin Yu got on the carriage, he asked, "Fang Qingci, why didn't you wait for me and go into the palace alone?"

Fang Qingci smiled faintly and said, "Last night, the prince's servants in the front yard said that the prince was drunk. I thought the prince couldn't even enter the backyard, so he must be very drunk. I didn't see the prince this morning, so I thought he hadn't woken up yet. People will feel uncomfortable the next day after being drunk, so I didn't disturb the prince to rest."

Qin Yu snorted coldly, "Are you blaming me for not returning to my room last night?"

"Ah! Why would Your Majesty think so? I am just worried about Your Majesty's health."

Fang Qingci blinked and spoke in a very sincere tone, which made Qin Yu a little confused. Could it be that she really didn't mean it?

Qin Yu looked at Fang Qingci carefully, and then he found that Fang Qingci's face was ruddy and in very good condition. It was obvious that she had had a good rest.

It seemed that his failure to return to the room last night had no effect on her, and Qin Yu felt a little unhappy for some reason.

"Did the princess sleep well last night?" Qin Yu suddenly asked.

"Ah! It's pretty good! The bed is big and very comfortable," Fang Qingci replied with a smile.

Qin Yu choked and didn't know how to respond for a moment. This was not at all what he had expected.

He stared at Fang Qingci with some surprise, finding it unbelievable that the groom did not return to the room on the wedding night, so it was incredible that she could sleep.

He had been thinking of finding a reason to comfort her, but Fang Qingci didn't seem to care at all.

It made him feel as powerless as if he was punching cotton, and he felt inexplicably aggrieved.
