Chapter 403: Really Detestable
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Would the crown prince be willing?
Well, its his failure to cherish. He wants to be ungrateful. If it werent for his mother-in-law, he would be a disabled prince in the rear palace. His status is all thanks to his mother-in-law, but he doesnt know how to treat Linger properly. Its despicable.
Sigh.
The Golden Dragon Guard remained silent on the side and continued.
The Royal Consort is in seclusion.
Yes. The stronger she becomes, the stronger our Ming Dynasty will be. When she comes out of seclusion, I plan to elevate their statuses.
Huh? Isnt it high enough already?
Not enough. They should be the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess. If thats impossible, Ill appoint her as the Guardian Princess of the Kingdom. The empress couldnt help but chuckle, Why not just make her the ruler?
Well, as long as shes willing.
The Golden Dragon Guard coughed lightly. Your Majesty, the Holy Dark
Temple has disappeared.
I know about it. Anyone with that capability must be our Guardian Princess.
The empress rolled her eyes, thinking that Qiao Mai might not even approve of this title, but the emperor was already calling her that.
Updted on BX0VEL.cmThey went to Qingfeng Temple first. Qingfeng personally paid a visit to her. Thats a must. Although Qiao Mai is younger, she is more capable than
Qingfeng.
I heard that she also gave a few books to the temple. Qingfeng Temple is keeping this a secret. The monks and elders are very excited and happy. Hehe, she only gives good stuff. Just wait; our Ming Dynasty will get better and better. Haha.
At this moment, Jiamei arrived with her children.
Father, Mother, why such joy?
We were talking about your mother-in-law. Dont stay at home all the time. Take some time to visit your mother-in-law in Tianshui Town. Which daughter-in-law doesnt serve her mother-in-law?
My mother-in-law is not an ordinary person. She said she doesnt need me now. When she gets old, she will let me know.
Still, you should show filial piety.
I will pick and send gifts my parents-in-law likes during festivals.
You are lucky. Chuaner treats you so well, and hes particularly devoted. Enjoy your life.
Hehe, its all thanks to Father and Mother. Otherwise, how could he know me?
Hows the crown princes side?
At the mention of him, the joyful atmosphere turned somber.
The old emperor snorted. He better be sensible. Otherwise, I cant help him with your mother-in-law.
The crown prince got into a dead end and cant find a way out.
Your mother-in-law has spared him once. If theres a second time, I wont plead for him. By the way, your sister-in-law is quite bored alone in the palace.
Visit her often.
Yes, Father, Mother.
At this time, Linger held her child, gently coaxing him to sleep in the room.
Since that incident, she and the crown prince have never shared a bed again. Even when they slept together, they faced away from each other, causing a night of silence.
She wanted to change this situation, but the crown prince no longer treated her with the warmth he used to.
Linger sighed softly. It wasnt her fault. Why should she compromise?
She gave him a chance. If he didnt cherish it, she wouldnt be blamed for her cruelty.
So, she focused all her energy on the child. The place she lived was guarded by the Golden Dragon Guards on the roof.
The emperor was afraid that something might happen to her. This was his only legitimate grandson, and there couldnt be any accidents.
He was overthinking it. Jiameis children and Lingers son had multiple layers of insurance from Qiao Mai. Even their elixirs were prepared from birth.
All of them were non-poisonous elixirs designed for the growth of the body and mind.
Qiao Mai also considered their guardian beast.
It had to be said that Qiao Mai was qualified, whether as a grandmother or a great-grandmother.
In the imperial study, the crown prince diligently corrected memorials. Sometimes, he stared at a random place, lost in thought.
He was desperately practicing martial arts and striving to be a good crown prince. However, whenever he visited his wife, a glance from the lion would break through all his defenses.
This was the difference between him and his mother-in-law. No matter how hard he tried, he still had to live in her shadow.
He was almost driven crazy. Although he saw the real face of that girl, how could he forget the many days and nights spent together and the child in her belly?
Especially that last glance before her death, carrying so much grievance and affection.
He wanted revenge, to kill the executioner, his mother-in-law. However, he knew he was no match for her. He couldnt even deal with her daughter.
He hated the Qiao family to the core. In these past few months, he had almost gone insane.
Every time, he would secretly stare at Linger, thinking of killing her when she wasnt paying attention! He would kill the child as well.
Sometimes, he stared at the child, thinking why Lingers child was healthy while the child of his beloved woman died in the womb.
This was unfair. They should all die!
These were his secret fantasies. He didnt dare to act on the surface. After several months of inner struggles, he became gloomy and dark.
Linger could feel it. She always remembered her mother and how she couldnt embarrass Qiao Mai.
She tried to ease the relationship between them. When she saw no results, she didnt force it. Everything would happen naturally.
But what she couldnt stand was his gaze at the child, as if he wanted to devour him.
Whenever this happened, Flame would come to the childs side, roaring softly at the crown prince to warn him.
So, the crown prince didnt come to her palace, and she didnt invite him either. The two maintained a seemingly respectful relationship, which didnt arouse suspicion from outsiders.
This life went on for ten years.
Linger had only one child, while Jiamei had two more. Yuan Jiaqi was overjoyed when he heard about it and sent many gifts.
In these ten years, the Lucky Garden in Tianshui Town had become like a fairyland, especially the backyard, which was well taken care of by Yuan Jiaqi.
Greeny would occasionally come out for a stroll, exchanging experiences. They wanted to surprise Qiao Mai when she came out of seclusion.
As the year-end approached, heavy snow fell outside the courtyard.
In the space, Qiao Mai opened her eyes. She looked down at her cultivation level and smiled, feeling satisfied.
She crossed a major realm in ten years. It wasnt a small achievement.
At this moment, she was nearly fifty years old. Coming out of the space, she saw Yuan Jiaqi staring at her.
Wife?
Qiao Mai smiled. Husband? Whats the matter? We havent seen each other for ten years. Dont you recognize me anymore?
Yuan Jiaqi wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye. Even if you turned into ashes, Id still recognize you. You dont seem to age a day and even look younger.
You dont have a single grey hair either. You are still mature and handsome as always.
Thanks to Wifes blessing, I look so young. People of my age usually have grey hair. How has the family been in my absence? All well.
Linger still only has one child, right?
Yuan Jiaqi sighed, How did you know?
That heartless guy hasnt touched Linger in these ten years. Hes silently protesting.
Jiamei has birthed two more children. She has two sons and a daughter. Well, thats good.
The emperor and Old Master Wang sent letters to report their safety. How are Old Master and Mistress Wang?
Theyre doing well. Wang Zongsheng is planning a birthday celebration for him in the capital.
Thats good. Lets go and take a look. Some matters should be settled.
Yuan Jiaqi took her hand, Wife, Ive planted things on the sixty-five acres in the backyard with Greenys guidance. Would you like to take a look?
Hehe, sure..
