Pretty Fox: Misunderstood His Royal Highness

Chapter 121 Fallen Plum Garden 1
　Ye Qiqi and Tang Miaomiao followed Mother Gui to Luomei Courtyard.

　Because no one lives in Luomei Courtyard, only Mother Gui and two women are cleaning on weekdays.Madam sent two other maids to follow Ye Qiqi, one named Qingya and the other named Mingshang, both girls were thirteen or fourteen years old.

　Luomei Courtyard is located in the southwest corner of the Grand General's Mansion, quite secluded, completely different from the resplendent courtyard just now with red and gold-based eaves decorations.

　In this Luomei Courtyard, no matter the doors, windows, or columns are painted green, and the colored paintings on the outer eaves are mainly in cool colors of blue, green, and white, giving people a sense of elegance and freshness.

　Mother Gui said: "All these decorations were made when San Yiniang was here, and they haven't changed at all. There are also plum blossoms in the yard, which were also planted by San Yiniang. San Yiniang likes plum blossoms, because the yard is full of flowers. Plum blossoms were planted in the courtyard, so it was renamed Luomeiyuan.”

　Ye Qiqi tilted her head.

　Mother likes plum blossoms?Why doesn't she know?
　In the study, there is a painting.In the painting, a young woman is standing among the plum blossoms, with her face raised slightly, smiling sweetly, sniffing the fragrance of the plum blossoms.The woman is of the same age as a flower, with a slim figure, black and bright hair, an oval face, white skin, big eyes, and long eyelashes like a fan. She is in the sea of ​​flowers, shining with plum blossoms.

　Looking at it at a glance, the person in the painting is very similar to Ye Qiqi.

　But if you look carefully, it is different from Ye Qiqi.When Ye Qiqi laughed, there were two small dimples on both sides of her cheeks, but the woman in the painting didn't have it—it was Yu Xueji in human form when she was young.

　While Ye Qiqi was looking at the painting, he suddenly heard Tang Miaomiao who was next to him say: "Miss, the master is here."

　Ye Zhongtian strode in.

　Ye Qiqi stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen Daddy."

　Ye Zhongtian nodded, looked at her for a while, then raised his head, his eyes fell on the painting.After a long, long time, he said, "You and your mother look so similar that when I first saw you, I thought it was..." He sighed: "When I saw your mother back then, she also looked like you." At your age. Now, in the blink of an eye, fourteen or fifteen years have passed."

　Qing Ya held the tea.

　Ye Zhongtian sat on a chair, took it, and said, "Qiqi, you can sit too."

　Ye Qiqi sat down.

　Ye Zhongtian took a sip of tea, and then said: "I've always wanted to ask you something, but I never had the chance. Qiqi, these years, what kind of life have you and your mother...lived?"

　Ye Qiqi had already thought about this problem.

　She said: "My mother and I live at the foot of Langya Mountain.... My mother weaves cloth for others and exchanges some small money to live on. Two months ago, my mother suddenly fell ill...sick, very sick. My mother is dying. When I was young, she told me about my life experience, mother gave me a jade pendant, and asked me to go to the capital to find my father, mother said, father will take good care of me and love me."

　Ye Qiqi said the same thing, and she shed a few tears as she spoke, her eyes turned red.

　Ye Zhongtian suppressed his grief, and he said: "Your mother, she... has she always hated me? Back then, I failed to take good care of her, which caused her to endure a lot of grievances. She...she was so determined... …leave me."

　Mother suffered a lot of grievances?
　no?Why didn't these girls say anything?
