The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 942 - 526: An Youyou’s Innocent Words
An Youyou, Anqi, and An Luming walked into Fengqi Palace together.
An Youyou was the most lively, and as soon as she came in, she ran directly to An Ning, "Mother!"
Then she jumped into An Ning’s embrace.
An Luming and Anqi walked a bit behind.
An Luming, with a little adult-like frown, said, "Youyou, didn’t I tell you to start calling her Empress Mother?"
An Youyou didn’t care at all.
Her chubby little face was buried in An Ning’s embrace, and she protested in a mumbling, unclear voice, "I haven’t even stopped calling Mammy my favorite name, you can’t force me anymore!"
An Luming was completely helpless with An Youyou.
Anqi couldn’t help but laugh.
Every time she saw An Luming speechless because of An Youyou, she found it very amusing.
An Luming felt Anqi’s laughter and turned to glance at her.
Anqi quickly covered her mouth with her hand, retracting her smile.
She thought to herself, a four-year-old An Luming is already so tough, what will he be like when he grows up?
An Luming turned back, pursing his small lips without saying a word.
Meanwhile.
Anqi’s eyes shifted, and upon seeing Qin Mengxi and Ye Jixuan, her face instantly broke into a joyful smile, "Grandmother, Little Uncle!"
"Anqi." Qin Mengxi looked at Anqi with a doting expression.
After all, Anqi was raised by her.
She only returned to the Imperial Palace with the emperor after she was two years old.
When she first left Minister Mansion, she struggled for more than half a year to get used to Anqi not being by her side.
Sometimes she really treated Anqi as her own daughter. Especially when she received the news of her daughter’s death, she gave all her love to Anqi.
"Grandmother." Anqi excitedly threw herself into Qin Mengxi’s arms, "Anqi hasn’t seen Grandmother for a long time, I missed you so much."
"Grandmother missed Anqi too." Qin Mengxi hugged Anqi tightly.
An Luming stood alone in the great hall, feeling somewhat... out of place.
But An Luming was consistently calm.
No matter the situation, he handled it with composure.
At this moment, he just quietly watched his sister and her sister-in-law acting spoiled.
"Alright, Youyou." An Ning pulled Youyou out of her embrace.
"I want to hold Mother for a little longer." Youyou was dissatisfied, "Mother has been monopolized by Father recently and doesn’t play with me."
"I’m not being monopolized; I just have a lot of things to keep busy with."
"Nonsense." An Youyou poked her little head out, accusing, "You’re obviously spending time with Father, and it’s always at night. I want you to sleep with me at night too!"
As she spoke, her eyes started to redden.
An Ning was a bit speechless.
An Youyou’s ability to cry on cue was a waste if she didn’t become an actress.
"That didn’t happen, don’t just say things randomly."
Clearly, nothing happened, but with An Youyou saying it like this, it felt like even the Yellow River couldn’t wash it away.
"Then I’ll come over and sleep with you tonight."
"..."
"See, see, I knew Mother was lying. I also know that Father is still staying in your room right now," An Youyou said innocently, "because you and Father were very busy last night."
"That’s enough, An Youyou," An Ning threatened.
If this went on, who knows what it would turn into.
She even heard Qin Mengxi burst into laughter.
It seemed An Youyou had amused her too.
An Youyou curiously looked over, blinking her lively big eyes.
"Mother, don’t listen to Youyou’s nonsense," An Ning explained, not wanting to be misunderstood.
"I have experience, I know," Qin Mengxi said with a knowing look.
"It’s not what you think!" An Ning was a bit frustrated, muttering, "Youyou doesn’t understand anything."
"Actually, the entire court has already spread the word." Qin Mengxi couldn’t help but say.
"What?" An Ning didn’t get it.
"I also heard it from your father," Qin Mengxi said, chuckling again, "They said today the emperor was yawning during the morning court session, which never happened before, and he wasn’t giving quick, clear decisions on the officials’ memos like usual."
"And then?" An Ning asked.
"Then Young Master Wu Xufan told the emperor to end the session early, saying you two were too tired last night and told him to take care of his health," Qin Mengxi continued.
"..." An Ning almost spat out old blood.
She knew that rascal Wu Xufan couldn’t say anything nice.
Back in the day, she must have been crazy to try pairing Wu Xufan with Xiao Hezhen.
She should have let Wu Xufan never find love and die alone.
"Qi’er, don’t be shy, everyone understands, and for the sake of peace and prosperity, officials and the people all hope the emperor and empress have a good relationship," Qin Mengxi said, seeing An Ning’s overly struck appearance, comforting her, "Don’t think too much."
She didn’t think too much.
It was precisely because she didn’t think too much that she played chess with Xiao Jinxing all night and ended up with such rumors.
Just thinking about the scene during the morning court... made her head hurt.
"Mother, who is she?" An Youyou couldn’t help but ask.
An Ning snapped back to reality, trying hard not to overthink.
She was about to speak.
Anqi hurriedly introduced, "Youyou, this is Grandmother. That’s Mother’s mother."
"Didn’t Mother say her mother passed away?" An Youyou spoke bluntly.
"..." Qin Mengxi looked at An Ning.
An Ning was utterly embarrassed.
She really wanted to stuff An Youyou back into her stomach.
"What nonsense are you saying!" An Ning scolded Youyou, "Quickly greet Grandmother." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
An Youyou pouted but still obediently said, "Hello, Grandmother."
The soft, sweet voice almost made Qin Mengxi’s eyes tear up, and she quickly invited, "Yoyou, come, let Grandmother hug you."
Youyou was a bit hesitant.
Anqi reached out and pulled her over, "Grandmother likes you and wants to hug you, Youyou, be good."
Seeing her sister say this, Youyou dropped her apprehensions.
Her chubby little body jumped into Qin Mengxi’s arms.
Qin Mengxi held Youyou for a long while before reluctantly letting go and carefully observing Youyou.
She didn’t look like the emperor or the way the empress used to look, but she looked just like the current daughter...
"Mother, she’s biological." An Ning immediately saw Qin Mengxi’s doubt.
Qin Mengxi looked up at An Ning, nodded, and didn’t doubt anymore.
At this moment, her attention was drawn to An Luming standing nearby.
An Luming felt the gaze and looked back.
His little face was still steady, with no easy smiles.
Qin Mengxi beckoned, "Luming, come let Grandmother hold you."
An Luming was a bit reluctant.
He didn’t like people getting close since he was young, unlike Youyou.
Youyou only had an aversion to strangers out of fear, not because she didn’t like intimacy.
An Luming genuinely disliked being too close to people.
At that moment.
An Luming suddenly felt his hand being held by a small, warm hand.
He looked at Anqi who gave him a sweet smile, "Don’t be afraid, sister will take you."
