The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Looking at the gentle Queen Mother, maybe it was because of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but when Yang Qi first met the Queen Mother, he felt extremely close to her.

Having lost his mother at a young age, Yang Qi had only felt love and care from Xu. However, because Yang Qi was the child of the eldest wife, even though Xu wanted to pacify him, it was of little use.

Ever since Song Hongwen and An returned home, An took charge of the household expenses, leaving Xu with even less room to appease Yang Qi.

If my mother were still alive, I think she would be as gentle to me as the Queen.

Handing a plate of cakes to Yang Qi, the Queen asked softly, "Have you ever read?"

Yang Qi nodded: "My grandmother hired Mr. Yang as a teacher for me and my second sister. Mr. Yang is very knowledgeable and Yang Qi has learned a lot from him."

"But Yang Wanmei?" The Queen asked after thinking for a moment.

The Queen actually remembered the gentleman's name. Yang Qi nodded: "That's right."

Seeing that Yang Qi was just holding the plate of pastries, the Queen Mother took a piece and handed it to Yang Qi's mouth: "Yang Wanmei is indeed good at poetry and calligraphy." Nowadays, women who can take the initiative to propose divorce to their husband's family are rare, not to mention that Yang Wanmei proposed it only after she gave most of her dowry to her ex-husband to make up for the deficit.

As the Queen's biological daughter, Yuan Yi took the fruit and started eating without the Queen's words: "Mr. Yang is really an amazing woman. Isn't the Bai family's daughter also Mr. Yang's student?"

The Empress's meals were all prepared in the small kitchen of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, but Yang Qi didn't know that the snacks the Empress fed her were made by the Empress herself.

Yang Qi only knew that the taste of this pastry was completely different from what she had eaten before, with a long aftertaste that kept lingering in her mouth.

Hearing Princess Yuanyi's words, Yang Qi had pastries in his mouth and could not speak, so he could only nod. Miss Yuxin and the second sister are both Mr. Yang's pride.

When Bai Yuxin was mentioned, there was no joy in the Queen's eyes. It seemed that the Crown Prince had already figured out the Bai family's position and made it clear to the Queen.

The Queen Mother and Princess Yuan Yi did not put on airs or act in a domineering manner, and Yang Qi felt unexpectedly relaxed being with them.

Just as the Empress, Yuan Yi, and Yang Qi were chatting, a palace maid outside said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

When the Queen Mother and Yuan Yi heard this, they laughed together. The Prince/brother arrived just in time.

After hearing this, Yang Qi was a little confused. Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come today?

The Queen is not Yuan Yi, but she can confirm the relationship between Yang Qi and the prince by the jade pendant. However, the Queen's method is simple, and she directly sent the secret guards around the prince to the palace to report.

Peilin is the crown prince's most trusted confidant, but even if the queen asks Peilin, she can't get any answers out of him.

As luck would have it, the person the Queen called was A-Du.

The Queen Mother did not hide it from the Crown Prince and asked Peilin to find someone to reply. The Queen Mother has always been extremely concerned about the daily life of Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But the Crown Prince had too many things to do on weekdays, and he could not always go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to talk to his mother. Therefore, Peilin sent someone to reply, and he also got the consent of the Crown Prince.

There are not many secret guards that Yang Qi has dealt with around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Peilin and Adu are the only two.

Hearing the Queen Mother asking about the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Yang Qi, Adu couldn't help but worry for himself. Her Majesty, the personal relationship of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not something that a little ant like us can interfere in.

Normally, when the Queen asked questions, Adu also came and went several times. The leader's order has always been to report good news and not bad news.

If the Queen Mother asks His Royal Highness whether he is in good health, the answer can only be "yes";

If the Queen Mother asks the Crown Prince whether he has a good appetite, the answer can only be "yes";

If the Queen Mother asks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whether there has been any major event recently, the answer can only be that everything is normal.

But the leader has never been unified. When the Queen asked the Crown Prince's woman, how should she answer?

If Yang Qi knew that in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's secret guards, she had become "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's woman", she would probably vomit blood. She is only in her teens!

However, over the years, there has been no female around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince except Bai Tan from the Divine Doctor Valley, and even the Mosquitoes in the Eastern Palace are all male.

Yang Qi showed up so carelessly, and "conspired" with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince many times, and even climbed the wall to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince late at night.

Correspondingly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been sending his secret guards to keep an eye on Yang Qi, and from time to time he would send people to give Yang Qi some fresh seasonal fruits.

Every time the secret guards took the fruits, they felt indescribably fascinated.

I am a secret guard who has received the most rigorous training since childhood and is responsible for assassinations and other bloody tasks all year round. Now I have to deliver fruits to a young lady in the boudoir!

Isn't this what the book says, "A horse gallops through the dusty world and the concubine smiles, no one knows it is the lychees coming."

A certain secret guard wiped his tears and decided to have a good talk with his good brother An Ba about this matter.

It is because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been sending secret guards to feed Yang Qi all year round. In the hearts of these secret guards, Yang Qi has long been His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's man!

I have to say, these secret guards are really scary when they start gossiping!

Back to the time when Adu was replying in the Qianqing Palace, Adu racked his brains but still didn't know how to reply.

Seeing the look of the secret guard, the Queen already knew the answer in her heart. If it was not a big deal, she should have gotten an answer immediately. But the secret guard was hesitating and looking conflicted, so there must be something.

The prince has not been close to women in recent years. Could it be that he only has a crush on Song Yangqi? But Song Yangqi is not very old.

Seeing Ah Du's expression, the Queen smiled and said, "You don't have to answer this question, but I want to know when the Crown Prince met Song Yangqi. This question should not be difficult to answer."

This question is difficult to answer. You can't just say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been feeding it for several years?

Why did the leader choose me to do this complicated thing today? The leader must have heard the news. Last time at Lingshan Temple, I was arranged by the leader to be responsible for Miss Yang Qi's safety.

Could it be that the leader sent me here today to tell the Queen the truth? If I said I couldn't explain it clearly, wouldn't that be a "waste" of the leader's plan?

But if he said something wrong, he would be "criticized" when he returned. After hesitating for a while, Ah Du said the first sentence of the day besides "May the Queen be well": "I have not been with Your Highness for long. I have been responsible for the guarding of Miss Yang Qi during this period."
