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

Chapter 109 I Want to Be the Queen Mother (2)

After receiving the plot, Zhao Yanan asked Xingyue and Heyue to fetch some water to wash up, then he picked up the things scattered on the bed, covered himself with the quilt and prepared to go to sleep.

Xingyue saw that her mistress was about to lie down to rest, and thought that her mistress was tired and confused, so she reminded her quickly.

"Miss, no, Princess, the prince hasn't come back yet!"

"I'm tired, so I'm going to sleep first. We'll talk about it when he comes back." Zhao Yanan covered himself with the quilt.

What are you waiting for!

Qin Yu would not come back. Fang Ruoyan handed in a message, and he was busy comforting his lover. How could he remember that there was a bride in the bridal chamber?

Xingyue and Heyue looked at each other, looking at Fang Qingci as if they wanted to say something but stopped themselves.

No, what girl doesn’t wait for the groom to go to bed before getting married?

But they were Fang Qingci's people. Although they felt that their young lady's behavior was inappropriate, they would not say anything. They just quietly guarded the door, thinking that if the prince came back, they must notify their young lady in time.

As the moon rose slightly, a group of crows flew over the branches, causing them to tremble slightly and a few dead leaves slowly fell in the air.

The palace, which had been noisy all day, finally quieted down.

Xingyue and Heyue did not wait for the male owner of the palace, but only waited for a servant of Prince Huai to come and deliver a message.

It was said that Prince Huai was drunk, so he did not disturb the princess and slept in the front yard.

After everyone left, Xingyue anxiously grabbed Heyue's hand and said, "Sister Heyue, what should we do? Today is a big day. Even if the prince is drunk, he can't not come back! Isn't this a slap in the face of the young lady?"

Xingyue was a little angry, and felt even more sorry for her young lady.

She was alone in an empty room on her wedding night. If this were to get out, I wonder how people outside would laugh at her.

The smile disappeared from He Yue's face. She turned to look at the door and spoke in a low voice.

"Well, the master's affairs are not for us to interfere in."

"But, but, if the prince doesn't come back, what should Miss do?" Xingyue still felt that something was wrong.

If the lady knew this, she would definitely be sad!

He Yue sighed, "The young lady has already fallen asleep, so don't disturb her. Let's talk about this tomorrow!"

He Yue suddenly felt fortunate that Fang Qingci fell asleep.

She wanted to go to the outer courtyard to see if she could invite the prince back, but they had just arrived and were unfamiliar with the place, so they had no connections and could do nothing.

He Yue had a vague feeling that Prince Huai might not like her daughter, otherwise why would he be so disrespectful to her? Today was the wedding night, the most important day for a girl, and Prince Huai could not come if he said so.

She suddenly became worried about Fang Qingci's future.

Zhao Yanan didn't know that the two maids outside the door were worried about her.

She was dreaming.

At dusk, a little eunuch came stealthily to the Imperial Lake carrying a bag, and when no one was around, he threw the little boy in the bag into the lake.

The little boy was choked by water and struggled in the lake, calling for help.

But there was no one on the shore, no one heard his cry for help, and the boy was about to sink.

Fang Qingci, who was only six years old at that time, followed her mother into the palace to attend a banquet. She playfully shook off the maid beside her and ran to the lake to watch the fish, and happened to see someone in the lake.

Fang Qingci learned martial arts from his grandfather, so he was very strong despite his young age. When he heard the little boy's cry for help, he boldly used a stick to pull the boy up.

Because he was afraid that his mother would find out that he had run away without permission, Fang Qingci pulled the little boy up, and left after seeing that he was fine.

The little boy Qin Yu looked at Fang Qingci's back as he ran away, picked up the pearl flowers that fell on the ground and hid them in his sleeves.

This scene was seen by Fang Ruoyan who ran out to find Fang Qingci.

Then the scene changed, and Fang Ruoyan secretly took another pearl flower from Fang Qingci's room.

Afterwards, Fang Qingci followed her mother and left Shangjing and went to her maternal grandfather's home in Jiangning.

She was away for nine years until Fang Qingci returned to the capital when she reached the age of 15.

On the day Fang Qingci returned to Beijing, when the carriage passed through Changjie, the horse was frightened and went crazy. Fang Qingci was caught off guard and fell out of the carriage. She was rescued by Qin Yu who happened to be passing by.

The scene of a hero saving a beauty made Fang Qingci fall in love with Qin Yu from then on.

Afterwards, the marriage was granted by imperial decree. When Fang Qingci learned that she would become the Princess of Huai, she was filled with joy.

She married into the Prince Huai's Mansion with great expectations and beautiful visions of the future.

What awaited him was spending his wedding night alone in an empty room.

After marriage, Qin Yu was very cold to her. Fang Qingci initially thought that Qin Yu was just like that.

It was not until later when Fang Ruoyan entered the palace and became the concubine of Prince Huai that Fang Qingci realized, seeing Qin Yu's extreme doting on Fang Ruoyan, that he realized that he was not cold-hearted and uncaring at all, but simply did not love her.

Fang Qingci felt very disappointed, but she was very clear-headed. Since Qin Yu didn't love her, she couldn't force him. She let go of the idea in her heart and planned to fulfill her duties as a legal wife from now on.

However, this kind of Fang Qingci attracted Qin Yu's attention.

Fang Ruoyan noticed the change in Qin Yu's attitude towards Fang Qingci and became extremely anxious.

She got Qin Yu's love by impersonating Fang Qingci's life-saving grace, so she cared about Fang Qingci very much.

Qin Yu can pamper anyone, but not Fang Qingci.

Stolen things are stolen and one can never feel at ease about them. Fang Ruoyan feels guilty and is even more afraid that one day Qin Yu will discover the truth and Fang Qingci will take back everything from her.

So she always pretended to be pitiful in front of Qin Yu, letting Qin Yu see Fang Qingci targeting her and bullying her, and then she directed and acted out Fang Qingci pushing her into the water.

Fang Qingci grew up in her maternal grandparents' home. Her grandmother, the Princess, and General Fuyuan were a loving couple, and there was no mess in the family. She inherited her grandfather's straightforwardness in character, and the little tricks and scheming in the harem were no match for Fang Ruoyan, the little white flower.

Qin Yu saw with his own eyes Fang Qingci pushing Fang Ruoyan into the water, and his original good impression of her instantly disappeared. He jumped into the lake and rescued Fang Ruoyan.

Fang Qingci explained that she did not push Fang Ruoyan, but Qin Yu did not believe it at all. He only believed what he saw. Seeing that she was still trying to quibble, Qin Yu angrily scolded Fang Qingci for being a jealous woman with a vicious heart. He slapped her hard, then walked away holding Fang Ruoyan, who was shivering with cold and wet but still pleading for her.

The relationship that the two had worked so hard to establish became increasingly distant due to Fang Ruoyan's instigation.

Later, King Cheng plotted rebellion and the palace mutinied. Fang Qingci and Fang Ruoyan were captured by King Cheng and threatened Qin Yu.

Qin Yu chose to save Fang Ruoyan without hesitation. He shot an arrow at Fang Qingci with his own hands, and took advantage of the enemy's distraction to save Fang Ruoyan.

Later, the emperor died and passed the throne to Qin Yu.

After Qin Yu ascended the throne, he originally wanted to make Fang Ruoyan the queen, but Fang Ruoyan was only the concubine's daughter of the prime minister, and her status was not as high as Fang Qingci. Besides, Fang Qingci was the principal wife, and her maternal grandfather was General Fuyuan. Due to various factors, Fang Qingci finally became the queen.
