He could see Mu Qingyan's worry, but he didn't choose to express it openly.
Mu Qingyan laughed and calmed down her emotions obediently. It was better not to show such an expression in front of her grandfather, otherwise she would be scolded.
"You, I know what you are thinking, but grandpa still has something to ask you." The old prince said casually.
Mu Qingyan's heart tightened, not knowing what he wanted to ask.
The old prince raised his eyes and looked at her. He had lived half his life and had eaten more salt than she had walked. He had watched Mu Qingyan since she was a child. How could he not know what she wanted to do.
But now he found that this granddaughter seemed to have changed a lot, and her thoughts were much more thoughtful than before.
The old prince looked into her eyes and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Mu Qingyan shook her head subconsciously, "No."
Seeing that she didn't tell the truth, the old prince sighed, poured a cup of tea and said quietly: "Old man, I don't ask about the court affairs, but it doesn't mean that I am blind and deaf." As he grew older, his eyesight changed.
Got to be sharper.
Mu Qingyan froze, "Grandpa?" She didn't seem to understand what he meant.
The old prince made a shocking statement, "Why are you investigating King Qi?"
He already knew what his granddaughter did, and he also knew that she went to the training camp to find a few secret guards, not to mention that she just really wanted to gain some popularity.
"Grandpa is indeed very powerful." Mu Qingyan smiled lightly and did not deny it. She was not too surprised that grandpa knew about this. After all, her brother could find out, let alone grandpa.
She didn't think she could hide it from her grandfather.
"I hate him, so I want to catch him. Grandpa, you also know the reason why I disappeared in Linggu Temple." Mu Qingyan said.
The old prince smiled softly and said, "Grandpa wants to hear the truth." This is one of the reasons, but it is not the fundamental reason.
His own granddaughter, why didn't he notice it?
Yan'er's thoughts became much heavier. After beating her, she began to change, especially towards King Qi, who seemed to have some hatred.
Of course he knew how much Mu Qingyan was obsessed with Baili Qi in the past, and he bet that for Baili Qi, she might be able to do a lot of extraordinary things.
Mu Qingyan lowered her eyes, pursed her lips slightly, subconsciously held her skirt tightly with her fingers, but did not speak after all.
The truth is that Baili Qi ruined her family and caused her grandfather to commit suicide. None of her parents and brothers could live to see her. She hated Baili Qi.
She hated that he had deceived her and tortured her in every possible way after being thrown into a prison. She had no choice but to avenge her.
It was also her fault that she was too stupid and blind to help him so wholeheartedly.
"Alas -" Seeing that she still refused to tell the truth, the old prince could only sigh, "Grandpa won't force you, but you have to be careful, you know?"
She nodded silently and suddenly said, "Grandpa, I want to change myself."
The old prince raised his eyebrows, "What kind of change?"
Mu Qingyan looked directly into his eyes, "I don't want to be a gentle and virtuous Miss Mu. I am the daughter of a general, but I don't even have the slightest bit of grace like my grandfather."
What a lady, she doesn't want it anymore.
She abides by etiquette so much, and sticking to the rules will bring her a lot of trouble.
The old prince was surprised by her thoughts, but he soon realized that it was okay. He rubbed her head lovingly and said, "It's best to be yourself. You are the daughter of the Mu family. No matter what, you are the grandfather."
proud."
Mu Qingyan didn't expect that her grandfather didn't even have a word to refute, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
She knew very well that she was not cruel enough.
She is too indecisive and cannot be as resolute and restrained by too many emotions as her grandfather.
"Grandpa, don't worry. No matter what happens to Yan'er, she is still your granddaughter. Yan'er just hopes that grandpa will not be disappointed by then."
The old prince smiled lovingly, "What are you thinking in your little head?"
Mu Qingyan snuggled into his arms like she had done when she was a child, and almost couldn't help crying. Such a good grandfather died because of her in the end. She was really guilty!
"grandfather."
Suddenly a slightly cold voice came from the door.
Mu Qingyan raised her eyes and saw that it was Mu Yun.
Mu Yun entered the room and her eyes flashed when she saw Mu Qingyan and the old prince enjoying each other happily.
"Sit down." The old prince's tone was softer than usual. In fact, in private, his attitude towards these children was similar.
Although I prefer cigarettes.
Mu Qingyan sat up straight and returned to her original expression. Her attitude towards Mu Yun could not be said to be very enthusiastic, but she was not cold either.
"How is Jiang's family?" the old prince asked.
Mu Yun's attitude was respectful and her tone was very awe-inspiring, "Mother has restrained herself a lot, which makes grandpa worried." She was still in awe when facing the old prince.
Because she always felt that her grandfather's eyes were too cold, and she couldn't stop being frightened just by looking at him.
The old prince said "Yes" and said, "Just settle down. As long as she behaves herself, I won't embarrass her, old man."
If she acts like a monster again, don't blame him for not remembering the old relationship.
He would never leave any harm to the Mu family.
Mu Yun lowered her eyes. In fact, she rarely went to her mother's yard these days. She only occasionally talked to her in the garden or pavilion.
However, my mother's face looked much rosier and she didn't nag her as much as before. She was probably busy with her own things.
The old prince looked at Mu Yun warningly, "You two sisters are the oldest in the palace. You must set a good example for your younger brothers and sisters. Don't always be in trouble."
Mu Yun's hand on her knee tightened suddenly, and then she nodded and said, "I know."
Grandpa was beating Mu Yun. Mu Qingyan looked at the situation in front of her and remained silent. Now was not the time for her to speak.
Seeing that she was quite well-behaved, the old prince nodded with satisfaction. Fortunately, this eldest granddaughter had not been completely taught bad things by the Jiang family and could be corrected.
"You are now old enough. It's time to find a good family. Is there anyone you like in this capital?" the old prince asked casually.
Mu Yun lowered her eyes, "My granddaughter has never fallen in love with anyone. Everything is decided by my father and grandfather."
She knew very well that her grandfather wanted to tell her not to marry Xiao Xiang into the East Palace.
Although she did not have true feelings for His Highness the Crown Prince, she was still a little disappointed after hearing such a blatant warning from her grandfather.
In Grandpa's heart, Mu Qingyan is indeed the first one.
She is just a concubine, and her status is never as noble as that of a legitimate daughter. Mu Qingyan is also the appointed crown princess.
Her mother was a concubine, so she was naturally a concubine.
The old prince looked at Mu Yun seriously and gave her an affirmative answer, "You don't have to worry too much. Since you are the daughter of the Mu family and the granddaughter of my Mu Sheng, those who are not worthy of being on the stage naturally cannot
