PFC Chapter 12 Fake Prince vs Real Prince
Chapter 12 Fake Prince vs Real Prince
Yueying suddenly had a bad feeling, rushed upstairs and pushed open the door.
Concubine Li sat in front of the dressing table with a rosy face.
Yueying breathed a sigh of relief. A thought flashed through her mind just now. She thought that Concubine Li would not fulfill her dream and would commit suicide for love without caring about anything else, which frightened her and made her break out in a cold sweat.
Yueying calmed herself down and pulled Concubine Li downstairs.
There was a slight sound of footsteps coming down the stairs. Eleven and Seventeen looked up at the same time and saw Concubine Li walking down slowly and gracefully with light steps.
Yueying saw a flash of admiration in the eyes of the two secret guards. The pure white, loose brocade dress could not hide her beautiful figure. Coupled with the imperial concubine's pretty face, she could definitely be described as a fairy descending to earth.
After all, Concubine Li was only in her early thirties, which was the time when she was at the peak of her beauty and charm.
They stood up to greet Concubine Li, had some simple food, calculated that it was about time, and then they all stood up and went to the suburbs to wait for the main force.
Nothing went wrong after returning to Li Mansion, and I felt that everything was under control.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yueying originally planned to use the newborn to restore her identity, but the next day after returning to the Li Mansion, Concubine Li summoned her and took the initiative to ask her to return to the palace to restore her identity as a princess.
Before Yueying could feel a little touched for the original owner, she heard it.
"I've been unhappy these years, and it's really hard on you. But your father... I don't know when we'll be able to meet again."
Haha, she's waiting for me here. I looked into Concubine Li's eyes with a smile. The other party had a hint of expectation, but also dodged a little embarrassedly.
Now that it's come to this, I'm embarrassed to show off to anyone. However, Chu Yueying felt that as long as she did the same thing as yesterday, she would be fine. If she was careful, no one would catch her.
"Mother, we have plenty of time now that we are back. Let's take some time to try all the delicious food in the restaurants in the city."
Not getting a positive response, Concubine Li, who was always known as a cold beauty in the palace, showed a somewhat anxious look.
Yueying sneered in her heart, smiled faintly on her face, and gently placed her hand on the back of Concubine Li's hand.
"Don't worry, mother. I will arrange the itinerary."
That night, Yueying changed into women's clothes and went out. Her journey was smooth. Everyone in the Li family knew that the young prince did not like to contact outsiders, so they gave him an independent courtyard. Therefore, no one would check whether she was there. The prince and Su Qing both lived in the Huaizhou government office.
He walked to a place three streets away from Li Mansion and slipped into an alley.
Looking at the slender figure standing upright by the wall, an idea suddenly popped up in my mind. This person who follows the rules is different. If it were me and others, they would probably be squatting or leaning against the wall.
"Brother Prince! I'm here."
Chu Yueying admired the handsome guy's figure while jumping towards the person in the shadow.
Chu Chen caught the soft little person in his arms and used one hand to rub the little head that was close to him.
"Yueyue, just call me Chen in private from now on."
"Well...then I'll call you Brother Chen."
"No."
"But calling it with just one word is too weird."
The girl's face was puffed up like a bun. Chu Chen wanted to rub and pinch it. It took a lot of effort to restrain himself, but he still couldn't help but tease her.
"How about you call me husband?"
"Pfft~ Then I'll just call you Chen."
Yueying narrowed her eyes and encouraged herself.
"Chi... Chen, um, I sounded out Li... Mother Concubine's attitude today, and I feel like she still doesn't want to give in. I want to go meet that person myself and ask him to help me."
"You don't have to go. I'll arrange this for you. When you go back, do this..."
Under the moon, two people were walking hand in hand in the alley, their shadows were stretched very long. Eleven watched them from afar, feeling worried.
After bidding farewell to Chu Chen, Chu Yueying hurried home, changed into men's clothes, and walked out of the house with a man who looked like a servant. Not far away, she entered the back door of a small house.
Chu Yueying bolted the door, pointed to the room where the light was still on, and said to the servant.
"Mother, I won't go in. Someone needs to be watching outside. You two can chat more."
Concubine Li felt more and more uneasy. Normally, a 15-year-old girl should be extremely sensitive about being alone with a man and a woman in the same room, but her daughter seemed to be a little too brave.
However, this panic was overwhelmed by the eagerness to see the beloved, so he turned around and hurried into the house.
Chu Yueying's idea was that if she openly looked for Chu Chen, he would definitely take his men back to arrange the task for the time being. During this period, she could bring Concubine Li out.
She had already put hallucinogens in the room. After a while, she opened the doors and windows a little. When nothing happened, she woke up Concubine Li and took her away.
Two days later, after talking to Chu Chen, he would bring a complete plan so that Concubine Li and Yi Chengming could meet again.
But Chu Yueying stayed in the house from day till dark, but she didn't see Chu Chen come to Li Mansion, and Eleven didn't come to see her either.
Originally, whether the things on the surface would succeed or not was actually not important, but Yueying's mood became more and more depressed because of the prince's broken promise.
The morning seemed fine, but after lunch she became annoyed when she still hadn't seen anyone, and in the evening she began to have wild thoughts.
"Could something have happened? Did he encounter an assassin again? No, no. Is he sick? Could it be that he is not used to the local climate?"
There were no telephones in ancient times. You would assume during the day that the person would definitely come at night. If he didn’t come at night, no matter how anxious you were, you couldn’t run to the state capital to look for him, otherwise others would definitely suspect something was wrong.
Chu Yueying, who was looking ahead and behind, fell asleep in the tangle of asking and answering herself. She never thought that her own questions and answers could save several people's lives.
In the following days, she went to the government office three or four times but failed to see Chu Chen. Every time he said that he had gone out with Miss Su.
Oh, how could I forget about Su Qing? It seems that their relationship has greatly warmed up through traveling, so the matchmaking of the male and female protagonists is just around the corner.
Wait until I regain my status as a princess and find a prince consort.
When I think about it, I’ve only been here for half a year, and the mission is about to be successful…but why do I feel so sad?
Maybe I was a little greedy for the tenderness shown by the prince during this period, and the plan we had agreed on was broken because of the beauty. Fortunately, I didn't really plan to count on him.
The day to return to the palace came in a flash, and the prince came to the Li Mansion in person to pick him up. Although the Li family knew that the Queen and Concubine Li had always been at odds, they still treated the prince with respect and did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.
"Third brother, what have you been busy with these days? I was originally planning to take you and Miss Su to eat Huaiyuelou's signature duck, which is no worse than Jingyufang's~"
After dinner, they all waited by the pond for Concubine Li to leave. Chu Yueying went up to chat with Chu Chen and Su Qing.
"..."
"Thank you for your concern, my prince. The prince and I have been sightseeing in the nearby mountains and rivers these days, so we don't really care about any delicious food."
Chu Chen didn't respond for a long time, but Su Qing couldn't stand it anymore and replied, which helped him out.
But why does this sound so uncomfortable? The more I think about it, the more I feel like the heroine is saying, who is a good-for-nothing like you.
Chu Yueying was angry. You are the heroine, so I will endure it. If you two are together, my mission will be accomplished. Nothing is more important than my mission.
Chu Yueying, who had prepared herself mentally, showed a sunflower-like smile and said, "I don't understand. I'm thick-skinned and I'm not afraid of anyone."
"You should try it, after all, Miss Su will be my third sister-in-law in the future, and it won't be easy to eat folk delicacies~"
"My young prince, please don't speak nonsense..."
Su Qing was shocked. Was Chu Yueying doing this on purpose? The prince had been treating her better in the past few days, but she actually started this kind of trouble. What if the prince got angry again?
"Once you enter the palace, it is indeed difficult to eat folk delicacies."
Unexpectedly, Chu Chen, who had been silent, looked at Su Qing with a smile and said this, then walked towards the door gracefully.
Su Qing was stunned for a moment, then followed the man with a warmed expression.
It has to be said that a beautiful woman’s smile is enough to captivate the whole city, Chu Yueying thought, but why did she feel like she was suffocating?
On the first day back in Beijing, Yueying knew that the emperor would definitely go to Concubine Li's palace.
"Collect 108 chicken feet to summon Little P~"
"What the hell are you?"
"Hey, I know you'll give me a golden finger today, so I'm thinking of how to worship you."
"I am much more dedicated than you. Your brother should be in Madam Li's belly by now."
"Wow! I love you. Kiss, hug, lift me up high~ It went so smoothly. Today was the first time I felt the smooth sailing of a time traveler in a book."
"Since you're being so sweet today, I'll reveal to you a hidden rule that you need to understand on your own."
"There are hidden rules? Can your stuff be smarter? I've read so many quick travel stories, and yours is the most useless."
"…Well, sorry, the useless hidden rules are hidden, I'm leaving now."
"Oh no, I was wrong, come back~"
Although Xiao P couldn't see it, Yueying's sad face was real. How come this system couldn't take any jokes at all?
"Who said I can't take a joke?"
"Ah, you're back?"
"Well, I am a great man and I don't care about the mistakes of small people. The hidden rule I wanted to tell you before is that the skills you spend time and energy to learn in each world will become a part of your body and you can use them in the next world."
Although Xiao P's voice still had a hint of disgust, someone seemed to vaguely hear some sympathy in it.
"Then~ can you bring it back to the real world?"
"You wishful thinking, but depending on the level of your indicators, it will become your talent... the kind that you can surpass many people if you work hard."
"Really? Thank you, Xiao P."
Chu Yueying suppressed any other thoughts that might temporarily come to her mind and tried her best to remain excited and well-behaved.
"Humph."
Not knowing what Xiao P meant by the word "hum", Chu Yueying did not respond.
The next news I heard about Concubine Li was good news from the palace. Concubine Li was three months pregnant, and the Emperor summoned the little prince into the palace.
"I kowtow to my father, congratulate my father and mother, and congratulate myself for having another brother and sister."
