Reborn Female Assassin Falls in Love with Tsundere Little Prince

Yan Kaiyu entered the hall and walked into the inner room, and at a glance he saw Shangguan Zimeng lying on the bed with her legs spread out.

"Princess, please pay attention to your image."

She was straightforward and didn't mind at all: "There's no outsider here anyway, so let's just do it. No, why are you in such a hurry? Where's my meal?"

"It will be fine soon."

Yan Kaiyu sat down next to the bed. The two were chatting about this and that when they heard someone outside reporting something.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Before they could leave the palace to greet her, Empress Dowager Yu had already run in: "Zi Meng! Zi Meng!"

Yan Kaiyu wondered: What is going on?

"Mother, please pay attention to your image."

Queen Mother Yu ignored him and walked over to hold Shangguan Zimeng's hand. "I thought you had left and was sulking in the palace, complaining that you left without coming to say goodbye to me. My servants just came to report that the palace's carriage was still waiting outside Jingchun Palace, so I hurried over."

Shangguan Zimeng was very touched and thought that her mother was so cute: "Mother, I was just planning to say goodbye to you after lunch."

"It's almost afternoon, haven't you had dinner yet?"

Queen Mother Yu turned her head and glared at Yan Kaiyu, saying dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with you? How can you be a future husband? Why is your wife still hungry? You are only attentive when you sleep, but not in your daily life, right? You are very irresponsible, you will be condemned..."

Listening to Empress Dowager Yu's endless chatter, Yan Kaiyu didn't dare to say a word. Shangguan Zimeng said that she felt sorry for him for a second.

Yan Kaiyu now regretted asking Wudu to go and urge for meal. If he had known it would be like this, he would have gone by himself.

However, it shouldn’t be too late now.

"Mother, I'll go to the kitchenette to take a look."

What a coincidence, isn't it?

As soon as he reached the door, Wudu came in: "Your Majesty, the meal is ready."

At this moment, Yan Kaiyu felt mixed emotions. He looked at him deeply and said very friendly and politely, "Go away."

"..."

Wu Du: What's this? I just passed on a message, who did I offend?

After the meal was served, the family sat together happily chatting. This no longer seemed like a meal for an emperor, but more like a simple lunch for an ordinary family.

Warmth, harmony, happiness and perfection.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ate and chatted happily. Only Yan Kaiyu, the big idiot, didn't dare to say a word the whole time, and ate by herself.

Finally, Empress Dowager Yu wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Shangguan Zimeng, but because she thought he was too annoying, she simply asked him to bring the meal, pick a few dishes and eat anywhere.

"..."

Shangguan Zimeng showed a look of pity as she watched his lonely back.

When Empress Dowager Yu saw him leave, she took Shangguan Zimeng's hand and suddenly became serious, saying earnestly: "Zimeng, we have known each other for a month. You are about to leave the palace, and I don't know when we will meet next time. I want to talk to you about my true feelings."

Shangguan Zimeng put down her bowl and chopsticks and nodded obediently: "Mother, please speak. I am listening."

Empress Dowager Yu's eyes were full of kindness as she talked to her about her son's past: "My son grew up in the army. The late emperor had high expectations for him, hoping that he would be able to assist the crown prince and create a prosperous era. He went to the battlefield at the age of ten and began to command battles at the age of fifteen. Compared to other princes, this was actually very unfair to him."

"Because this behavior deprived him of his childhood, his childhood was filled with the cruelty and bloodiness of war. It also made him cruel and merciless, fond of killing. Fortunately, in the past few years, under the treatment and persuasion of an old Taoist priest, he gradually stayed away from war and his heart gradually calmed down."

"But I don't know how long he can hold on, nor do I know if he has any impulses in his heart. I remember when he was a child, he always told me while lying in the military camp that he envied the children of ordinary families, who were carefree and free, and didn't have to go through the pain of someone who was talking to you one moment and then left you forever the next. They couldn't see life and death, and couldn't feel pain. This was the life he envied."

"Despite this, he still went to the battlefield without complaint. Because he knew that the kind of life he envied was the one he was protecting. The war made him the youngest and most promising general in the world, but the war also destroyed him. He killed too many people and his hands were stained with blood."

"I know that he always has nightmares and often wakes up in the night. In his heart, he longs for a peaceful life, and he also longs for a girl to enter his heart. He said this himself. On the day when the Second Prince took Xia Chun back to seclusion, he was envious and drank a lot of wine. After drinking, he told me the truth."

Shangguan Zimeng was fascinated by what she heard, and a sentence kept appearing in her mind: Happy people use their childhood to heal their whole life, while unfortunate people use their whole life to heal their childhood.

"Zimeng, I have said so much just because I hope you can stay with him and accompany him forever. It can be seen that he treats you differently from other girls. It seems that you are destined to be by his side, to heal his broken heart, and to make his murderous heart disappear completely. Promise me that you will not leave him."

Shangguan Zimeng smiled and nodded. To reassure her and herself, she promised, "I promise you, mother. You see, I call you mother. I am your daughter-in-law. I will not leave him. I will always be with him and will not let anyone else take him away."

Queen Mother Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Before they knew it, it was time for Empress Dowager Yu to take a nap, and it was also time for them to say goodbye.

She was reluctant to hold Shangguan Zimeng's hand, and said with concern: "Zimeng, my dear child, if you leave, I don't know when we can meet again. I really can't bear to leave you."

As she spoke, she took a sandalwood box from Xin'er's hand and took out a golden phoenix hairpin from it: "This is my dowry. I loved wearing it when I first entered the palace. Now that I'm old, I'll give it to you as a token of my love."

Shangguan Zimeng was about to refuse, but Yan Kaiyu, who had already finished his meal, walked in quickly and took the hairpin before her. He thanked her, "Thank you, mother. I can see that Mengmeng likes it very much."

Mengmeng:? You two arms.

Queen Mother Yu was obviously very happy. She took Shangguan Zimeng's arm and walked out of the palace, got on the sedan chair, and said, "Just send him here. I'm tired, so I'll go back first. Zimeng, remember, if he dares to bully you, go to the palace and tell me. I will definitely take care of you then."

Shangguan Zimeng nodded firmly.
