Hiding her pregnancy and divorce, she stopped licking and the general panicked

Chapter 290 The Little Princess's Concern

"Mom and Dad, it's getting late. You should go to bed early."

"Tonight I will sleep with my two sisters, and we three sisters will have a good chat."

"Okay, go ahead and praise me."

Su Yujiao said she wanted to go home to take care of the baby.

"It doesn't matter if we spend one night here. The two children have already fallen asleep."

"You sleep with me tonight."

Su Yujiao laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that Brother Gu will be angry if you don't go home?"

"He won't get angry. He spends all day reading. He doesn't even need to eat when he has books to keep him company."

Su Yujiao and Jin Mudan couldn't help laughing when they heard her complaining about Gu Heng.

Although Lu Ziwei was complaining, it was not difficult to tell from the expression on her face that she was saying one thing and thinking another.

Just by looking at her increasingly plump figure, you can tell that she is living a happy life.

"Jiaojiao, let me ask you on behalf of my parents, have you ever thought about getting back together with me, Old Seven?"

"I heard from my aunt that the emperor has revealed that he will pass the throne to the crown prince after the new year, and he will retire to enjoy his remaining years."

"Since the situation is settled and there's nothing standing in your way, why don't you consider giving Old Seven another chance?"

"You two have been through so much together. You are like a treasure he has lost and found again. He will definitely cherish you even more when he is with you again."

"And you have feelings for him too. Don't deny it. Anyone with eyes can see that you still like him."

"If you truly break off all feelings and love, then your relationship after the divorce won't be the same. At most, you're just having a quarrel as husband and wife."

"After the divorce, we can still sleep in the same bed. Who would believe me if I said I didn't love you?"

"Stop being so stubborn."

Su Yujiao blushed at what Lu Ziwei said. She didn't want to sleep in the same bed with Lu Ziqian after the divorce.

Isn't that a helpless act due to the rush of things?

Jin Mudan also spoke: "Jiaojiao, I also think you can consider it."

"Lu Ziqian has feelings for you, and the Lu family is a kind family. It's not easy for a woman to live alone outside, so she still needs a man to rely on."

Su Yujiao was silent for a while: "I don't want to think about this for the time being."

"I won't be able to rest easy until Chen Yunniang and Chu Zhongyuan are eliminated."

"You think the situation is settled, but in reality the danger still exists."

"Let's deal with these insignificant little issues after the crisis is resolved."

"Jiaojiao, don't run away..."

"Sleep, sleep, I'm so sleepy."

Su Yujiao turned over and fell asleep.

Lu Ziwei wanted to say something else, but Jin Mudan stopped her with a look.

Since she doesn't want to continue this topic, don't ask any more questions.

Lu Ziwei sighed and did not continue asking questions. Instead, she chatted with Jin Mudan casually.

"Jiaojiao, are you asleep?"

"Has Ziqian written to you recently?"

"Chinese New Year is coming soon. Can he come back to celebrate the New Year?"

Su Yujiao yawned and said dazedly: "No."

"I do not know either."

In the blink of an eye, it was the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. The market was full of joy and bustle.

The New Year goods stalls are filled with a wide variety of goods, including couplets, lanterns, various candies, cakes and firecrackers.

The stall owners were shouting loudly, every household was carrying bags of goods, and the children were all grinning from ear to ear with excitement.

Su Yujiao personally took her two children to buy New Year's goods, allowing them to experience the everyday life of the world.

The two children were as happy as naughty monkeys, jumping up and down, looking around, and if they were not careful, their little figures would disappear in the crowd.

Su Yujiao regretted bringing them out. It was not easy to take care of children. Now she had to be extremely alert to ensure that the two children would not be squeezed and lost.

"Mom, buy some candied haws."

"Mom, buy some candy men."

"Mom, buy some firecrackers."

"Mom, buy me a flowery dress."

"Shop, buy, buy, don't run around."

Taking the baby to the market was like going to war for Su Yujiao, and she was exhausted when she got home.

On New Year's Eve, Lu Ziqian had not returned yet, but the courtyard was not deserted.

The prince came with two little princesses, Lu Ziwei and Gu Heng also came, and Jin Mudan was naturally among them.

Just like last year, Su Yujiao prepared a table full of delicious New Year’s Eve dinner, and everyone enjoyed it very much.

Except for Lu Ziqian and Mo Lingchen being absent, everything else was perfect.

But this little disappointment was quickly washed away by the fireworks in the sky.

Su Yujiao looked at the children's happy smiling faces and felt that this was what a happy life should be like.

"Cousin, come here." Chu Qingyin called Su Yujiao aside in a low voice.

"what happened?"

The little princess seemed a little embarrassed, her face flushed, and she hesitated for a while before speaking: "Cousin, I want to ask you a question."

"You asked."

"Cousin, I want to know if I like someone, how should I express my feelings to him?"

Su Yujiao widened her eyes and looked at the shyness on the little princess's face. Only then did she realize that the little princess had reached the age to fall in love and was in love for the first time.

"Which young man does the princess like?" She couldn't help but gossip.

When she asked this, the little princess's face turned red and she was too shy to speak.

"It's okay, I promise not to go out and tell anyone."

"Besides, how can I help you with advice if I don't know who the other party is?"

The little princess lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Yes...it's Master Pei."

"Which Mr. Pei?"

"Pei Yuanshao!"

Pei Yuanshao?

Oh, now I remember, he was one of the four famous young masters in the capital. He was indeed handsome and elegant, and was the dream lover of all the girls in the capital.

It’s just that he got married a few years ago, and his wife passed away last year, so he has been single ever since.

How could the little princess fall in love with him?

I’m afraid the Queen and the Crown Prince won’t agree?

There was a full ten-year age difference between the two men, and the other was a widower whose wife had died.

What’s more important is that after becoming a son-in-law of the emperor, he is destined to achieve nothing in his official career.

The Pei family has only two sons. The eldest son, Pei Yuanzhao, was disabled in a fire while trying to save the emperor a few years ago. He has been bedridden and unable to take care of himself and has never married.

The Pei family placed the prosperity of the family on their youngest son, Pei Yuanshao.

If Pei Yuanzhao married the princess, the Pei family's status in the court would gradually weaken.

Therefore, Su Yujiao thought this marriage was very difficult. The Queen would not agree, and the Pei family might not accept it either.

It was New Year's Day, and she didn't want to say these words to hurt the little princess, but she also felt that since they were destined to separate, it would be better to cut the loss in time and not get deeper into the trap.

"Princess, how did you get to know Mr. Pei?"

"Has he ever expressed his feelings to you?"

The little princess shook her head: "He never expressed his feelings to me. We haven't even spoken to each other."

"That's why I want to express my feelings to him and let him know my feelings."

"I met Master Pei five years ago."

"I was only ten years old at that time. I left the palace quietly because I wanted to play."

"Then I was caught by beggars. They planned to sell me to a wealthy family as a concubine."

"It was Master Pei who saved me."
