Chapter 187 You are not her
It is said that Hongyu was taken into the territory of Canglang Kingdom by the man in black. When she arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion, Hongyu saw the plaque and realized that the man who fell in love with her was of such a powerful background.
Hongyu was secretly delighted. She never thought that one day the prince would take a fancy to her. Even if she was just a concubine, it would be much better than being the wife of an ordinary person.
The Third Prince had been to the palace and had not yet returned home, so Hongyu quickly asked the maid to fetch her some water for a bath. She wanted to tidy up her appearance and show her best self in front of the Third Prince.
The black-clad leader who had kidnapped Hongyu turned out to be Qi Beixi's guard. When the Third Prince returned to the palace after court in the evening, he immediately went to report: "Master, I have brought Miss Hongyu back to you and now she is in the backyard. But I did not find the map you mentioned in her room.
"I see. I'll go see her first."
Qi Beixi was very anxious. He had finally escaped back to the Canglang Kingdom, but found that the map was lost. After thinking about it, he felt that the map had the greatest chance of falling into the hands of the woman who saved him, so he quickly sent his confidant to capture her and specifically instructed his subordinates to search her room.
Hongyu waited for an entire afternoon, and finally she heard the maid waiting outside say, "Greetings to the Third Prince."
"No gift."
A cold and serious voice came over, and Hongyu quickly tidied herself up and sat at the table.
Then there was a creaking sound and the door opened. Hongyu looked up and saw a tall man in official uniform walking towards her. His facial features were very deep and he looked very handsome.
Hongyu's heart began to beat. She had never expected that the Third Prince of Canglang Country would be so young and handsome. Thinking that such an outstanding person would become her man, Hongyu shyly walked forward and bowed her head to salute, "Hongyu greets the Third Prince."
"Keep your head up."
Qi Beixi said in a commanding tone.
Hongyu raised her head shyly, showing what she thought was her most beautiful smile. However, the man above her changed his expression immediately when he saw her face. He stretched out his hand in anger and grabbed Hongyu's neck. "You are not Hongyu at all. Tell me, who are you?"
Hongyu was pinched and felt very uncomfortable. She looked panicked, but she still managed to utter a few words with difficulty, "I... am Hongyu."
"No, you're not her at all."
Qi Beixi let go of his hand and said to the maid outside the door, "Go and call Anye over."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Hongyu gasped for breath and quickly explained, "Sir, I am Hongyu. Everyone in Qingxi County knows that I am the top performer in Xunfang Pavilion. Hongyu would never dare to fake it."
When An Ye came over, Qi Beixi asked angrily, "Are you sure this woman is Hong Yu?"
"Master, she is indeed Hongyu, the top performer in Xunfang Pavilion. What's wrong?" An Ye looked confused.
"She is not the woman I am looking for at all. It seems that the woman is a cunning little fox. She actually gave me a fake name. You go to Dayuan Kingdom again and find that woman for this prince." Qi Beixi had a sinister look on his face.
"Master, what should we do with this woman?"
"Just throw it out of the house."
"Please spare my life, Third Prince. I am unfamiliar with this Canglang Country. If you throw me away, I will not be able to survive. Please take Hongyu in. Hongyu is willing to serve you for the rest of her life."
Hongyu was attracted to the Third Prince at the first sight. She had met so many guests, but had never met such a handsome and outstanding man as the one in front of her. His status alone was something that someone like her could never achieve. Even if she had to become a slave, she wanted to stay with him.
"I have no shortage of servants in my house."
"Third Prince, I can sing a little song, which can entertain you. And I also know who the woman you are talking about is. She is not in Xunfang Pavilion at all now, and your people can't find her. If I tell you about her, can you take Hongyu in at your house?"
"Okay, as long as you tell the truth, I will keep you in my house as my maid."
So Hongyu told the third prince about Qianhuan taking her place in the courtesan competition and dancing for her. Hongyu stayed in the third prince's mansion as she wished.
Qi Beixi didn't expect that the woman was not from the brothel. This further aroused his possessiveness towards Qianhuan.
Qi Beixi instructed Anye, "Let our people secretly search for the woman named Zhao Feiyan. Once they find her, bring her and the map back to me intact."
"Yes, I obey."
There are two groups of people in Qingxi County looking for Qianhuan, one group is from the Prince of An, and the other group is from the Third Prince of Canglang Kingdom.
But our real protagonist has no idea that he is being looked for and is busy with various things every day.
Today, Liu made a bowl of noodles for Qianhuan early in the morning and added a fried egg to it.
Qianhuan smiled and asked Liu: "Mom, what's the good day today? You even gave me a fried egg."
"Silly boy, today is your birthday."
Qianhuan really didn't remember that the original owner's birthday was in March. She only knew that her birthday in modern times was January 3th. She didn't expect that the original owner also had his birthday on the 1th, but the month was different from hers.
"Mom, I've been so confused about my life that I don't even remember my own birthday." Qianhuan joked to herself while eating noodles.
"It's okay. I'll remember it for you. I made you a set of clothes. Try them on later."
Although Qianhuan had threatened before that she would no longer give money to her parents, she actually still gave Liu some pocket money in private, but she didn't let her father know.
Liu used the silver to buy a piece of peach pink cloth and made a spring outfit for Qianhuan.
Qianhuan is now taller and her complexion is more rosy. Her breasts had not developed before due to malnutrition. But in the past six months, due to the improvement of living standards, her breasts have gradually started to develop. After the Chinese New Year, small bumps have started to grow on her chest.
Liu felt that her daughter was becoming more and more pretty, and as a mother, she also wanted to dress her daughter up beautifully.
"Okay, thank you, mother."
After eating the noodles, Liu gave the finished dress to Qianhuan. Qianhuan went back to her room and changed into it. The size was just right.
Qianhuan walked out of the room wearing a peach pink dress. Liu felt that the dress made her daughter look even more beautiful.
Liu couldn't help but praise him, "Mother always says that girls shouldn't wear such old-fashioned colors. You dress like a man all the time, how can you look like a girl? Look at this peach pink, it makes you look like a fairy. In the future, you should wear more bright colors."
"Yes, mother, I understand." Qianhuan knew that Liu was a kind mother, so she had to agree to her.
Liang Laoer knew that it was his daughter's birthday today, so he went into the mountains to hunt early in the morning. He was lucky today and in the afternoon he hunted two rabbits and a pheasant.
Liu stewed a pot of pheasant and made a dish of diced rabbit meat, and also brought back some wine. The young couple and others celebrated Qianhuan's birthday together.
Qianhuan toasted everyone several times with tea instead of wine. Liang Laoer was so happy that he drank too much, so Liu helped him to sleep.
Qianhuan felt very satisfied in her heart. Although today was not her real birthday and Liang Laoer and Liu were not her biological parents, she felt really warm since she fell into this time and space and enjoyed the couple's unreserved love for the original owner.
She thought to herself: I will definitely love them well on behalf of the original owners and create a happy life for them.
