After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 412: Does Prince Yu have only one daughter?
After the palace banquet, the Qi delegation returned to the official inn. As soon as Wang Fengyi returned to the house, Princess Xiang came to find him.

"Sister-in-law, you are related to the Ningguo Mansion, so you should know something about the Regent Princess."

At the palace banquet, Princess Xiang had always been in a good relationship with Qin Xiaoning. Seeing her asking again, Wang Fengyi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. However, because Princess Xiang was of a very special status, she smiled and said, "Didn't the Regent Princess tell you that she is just an orphan with a humble status? As for the rest, there is nothing to say. You can imagine that she just relied on her beauty to win the master's favor and has risen to prominence since then."

Although Princess Xiang didn't know about the feud between Wang Fengyi and Qin Xiaoning, she could tell from what they said that they were not on good terms. She explained, "I just saw that she looked like me, so I couldn't help but find out a little more."

Princess Xiang's father, Prince Yu, was the younger brother of the Emperor of Qi. Prince Yu was a good fighter and had an extraordinary status in Qi. Even Crown Prince Xiao Jin respected his uncle very much.

Wang Fengyi smiled disdainfully and replied, "So what? You are a noble princess, and she is just an orphan. You look a bit similar, that's all. In terms of background, there is a world of difference."

Princess Xiang fell silent. Wang Fengyi looked at her, pondered for a while, and asked tentatively: "You are so interested in the princess, can it be just because she looks a bit like you?"

Princess Xiang was simple-minded, and Wang Fengyi suddenly saw through her thoughts. She paused and said hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, you're overthinking. I just met the princess by chance and asked casually."

"It's getting late. My royal brother will be back soon. I'll go back first." After saying that, Princess Xiang fled away.

Wang Fengyi glanced at Princess Xiang's back and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

She had only been married into the Xiao family for a few months, so naturally her knowledge was limited. However, Princess Xiang's abnormal behavior made her think more.

It was strange that Qin Xiaoning and Princess Xiang, two strangers, had similar appearances. Princess Xiang also developed an inexplicable curiosity and interest in Qin Xiaoning, which made Wang Fengyi think more.

There must be some mystery here.

When Xiao Jin returned, she couldn't wait to ask, "Does Prince Yu really only have Princess Xiang as his daughter?"

Seeing Wang Fengyi suddenly ask this, Xiao Jin couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are you suddenly asking about the emperor's uncle's family?"

Xiao Jin is over fifty years old, and has long been as calm as a deep pool. Usually, as an old man and a young wife, they never talk about such trivial matters.

Seeing her husband unhappy, Wang Fengyi offered him a cup of hot tea at the right time, smiling: "I met the Regent Princess today. Princess Xiang kept asking me questions when she came back. I saw that she seemed to be quite interested in the princess. They look quite similar. The Regent Princess also said that she left her parents when she was young. I think this is too much of a coincidence."

Xiao Jin patiently listened to his wife's words, and then said, "The emperor's uncle does have a daughter, but she was born to a concubine, a concubine's daughter. I have never seen her, but I heard that she died of illness when she was five or six years old."

"Gone?" Wang Fengyi was thinking, and couldn't help asking, "Is he really dead? Wasn't he lost?"

When she said that, Xiao Jin raised his eyes and looked at him. The man had a few strands of gray on his temples and his eyes were serious.

Seeing her husband was unhappy, Wang Fengyi hurriedly explained: "This matter concerns our royal family's affairs, so I asked a few more questions."

Xiao Jin glanced at her and said, "As the Crown Princess, you should focus more on important matters."

The man stopped at the point, but Wang Fengyi could tell that he was annoyed by her nagging.

She couldn't help but frown: "I just asked a few questions to Your Majesty. We are husband and wife. Do we have to talk about family and national affairs in the boudoir?"

Seeing this, Xiao Jin fell silent. After a long while, he answered her question, but his tone was still deep: "The concubine of Prince Yu's mansion is indeed dead. A girl from the royal family would not easily get lost. Therefore, Prince Yu only has one daughter, Princess Xiang. Even if the princess looks a bit like her, it's just a coincidence."

The man had always been taciturn and seldom talked to her about these trivial matters, but today he made an exception. However, Wang Fengyi could see that he was just forcing himself to be so.

To be fair, the prince of Qi was not blind to people's hearts, but the age difference between the old man and the young wife was so great that it was an insurmountable barrier. Wang Fengyi said helplessly, "I know, I just asked casually. In the future, I will pay attention and will not talk about these things with Your Highness casually."

"It's getting late, Your Highness, please take a rest."

Xiao Jin still had no expression on his face. He just nodded at his wife, took off his clothes and got on the bed. The couple spent the whole night in silence.

When the palace banquet was over, it was already the western border of Wujin. After Qin Xiaoning returned to the mansion with Lu Ji, they went straight back to Qingsong Garden.

The two children are still young, and Qin Xiaoning naturally misses them very much after being out for the whole day.

It was the coldest time of the year, but the main room was as warm as spring. Qin Xiaoning had just stepped into the room, and without even taking off her coat, she told the maid, "Go and see if the boys are awake. If they are not, ask the nurse to bring them over."

The two young masters lived in the back wing and were usually taken care of by a wet nurse, but whenever Qin Xiaoning had free time, she would take care of all the affairs herself.

Lu Ji stepped forward and took off his young wife's fur coat, complaining, "You've been tired all day, just let the wet nurse take care of you, you should at least take a break."

As he was talking, Fujia had already come over holding a little prince, and said with a smile: "The eldest brother just woke up, and the second brother is still asleep."

Qin Xiaoning left Lu Ji behind and ran straight towards the child.

The two children were twins, so although they were not fat when they were born, they were well fed by their wet nurse, so even though they were just a hundred days old, they were already white and plump.

When the eldest brother saw his mother, he became happy. He waved his little hands at Qin Xiaoning and called out to her in babbling words.

Qin Xiaoning's heart softened immediately.

She quickly stretched out her arms to embrace her son, and kissed him on the face again and again: "I haven't seen you for a day, and my child has grown bigger."

Seeing his wife doting on the child, Lu Ji couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"You are in so much pain, kid."

Qin Xiaoning was only concerned about loving the children, and didn't notice the sour taste in the man's words, so she said casually: "I just want to give all my love to the children, so that they can always be wrapped in love and happy."

Lu Ji came over, his tall figure stood in front of his wife and children, lowered his eyes and asked, "What about me?"

Seeing his young wife looking at him in confusion, he explained: "You have given all your love to the child, so what should I do?"

Qin Xiaoning finally understood. She glared at the man and said, "How can you be a father like this? You are jealous of your child."

Glancing at the man's aggrieved look, the little woman couldn't help but soften her tone and patiently coaxed him, "As for me, I have been an orphan since I was a child. I have had enough of the pain of being alone, so now that I have children, I just want to love them even more."

If you don't get it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Qin Xiaoning said, and then taught the man: "You are the father, you must love them very much."

As she spoke, she could not help but kiss the child on the forehead and said to herself, "My children, I must give them the most love."
