Chapter 1711 - 1711 Come Clean To Her Mother1711 Come Clean To Her Mother
“Mother, those pigeons were given to me by Big Brother Beitang,” she said in a soft voice as she carefully checked her mother’s reaction.
Lu Liangwei was taken aback, but realization dawned upon her when the information sank in. “I see, Youyou was the one who gave them to you.” She was relieved. “You haven’t given him too much trouble while you were in the Yan Kingdom, have you?”
Yaoyao stared at her mother, wide-eyed. Why was her mother reacting so calmly?
She bit her lip. “Of course, not. If it wasn’t for Royal Brother heading there to take me home, he would have wanted me to stay longer.”

Why are you taking it so seriously?” Lu Liangwei was exasperated. “He isn’t married yet and is giving full attention to his imperial duties. He wouldn’t have time to take care of a little girl like you. He must be perfectly happy and relaxed the moment you left.”
Yaoyao pouted. She remembered the yearning look in his eyes on the day they were separated. She did not agree with her mother’s words at all.
“By the way, Mother, he gave something else to me.”
“What is it?” Lu Liangwei asked without much interest. It must be some little toy an older person would give a child.
“I’ll show it to you.” A thought ran through Yaoyao’s head as she took her treasured box from the cupboard at the head of her bed and placed it right in front of Lu Liangwei.
Lu Liangwei was curious when she saw how much Yaoyao seemed to treasure the box. “What did your Big Brother Beitang give you?”
“Open it and have a look, Mother.” Yaoyao placed the box in her hands and bit her lip as she said a little shyly.
Lu Liangwei weighed the box in her hand and found it to be quite heavy. She could not help joking, “It can’t be gold, can it?”
The corner of Yaoyao’s lips twitched. “Don’t be so cliché, Mother. Why are you always thinking about gold?”
Lu Liangwei was unperturbed as she replied, “What’s wrong with gold?” She opened the box as she said this.
Upon first glance, she thought Yaoyao had taken her Phoenix seal for fun while she was not paying attention.
However, at a closer look, Lu Liangwei realized the seal inside the box looked a little different from her Phoenix seal.

Lu Liangwei did not take the seal out of the box but looked at Yaoyao seriously. “Beitang You gave this to you?”
“Yes.” Yaoyao began to get worried when she saw her mother’s reaction. She lowered her head and came clean. “Big Brother Beitang wants to marry me.”
Lu Liangwei frowned. “Yaoyao, marriage is a big thing. You can’t agree to marry him out of a whim just because he gave you the Phoenix seal.”
Yaoyao looked at her mother in slight surprise at this point. “Mother, do you think the Phoenix seal is the only reason I like him?”
Lu Liangwei rubbed the spot between her eyes. “Then, how do you explain this Phoenix seal?”
“Big Brother Beitang likes me, and I like him back. He wants to marry him and I want to get married to him. It’s that simple,” Yaoyao said in a huff and snatched the box back from Lu Liangwei’s hands, clutching it in her arms.
Lu Liangwei felt a headache. She had never thought her daughter would agree to a marriage during just one trip away.
“What do you know about love?” She pushed back her anxiousness as she tried talking sense into Yaoyao. “Liking someone isn’t some small matter. Besides, he lives far away in the Yan Kingdom—it is tens of thousands of miles away from Great Shang. If you agree to this marriage, you have to go to a place far away. You’ll have to leave your parents and family as it won’t be easy for you to come home. You have to think about this.”
Yaoyao was silent. She gave this some thought as she sat down in front of a food plate, still hugging the box. She rested her cheek against her knee and said softly, “This isn’t something I decided on a whim, Mother. To be honest, I’ve struggled with this before accepting Big Brother Beitang’s love. I’ve given this serious consideration as well. I was worried about getting married so far away and even rejected him at first, but I can’t control my feelings. I like Big Brother Beitang and I’m willing to be married in a faraway land for him.”
