After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Su Yan actually didn't care about Xiao Jingfeng's purpose. She knew her father. He was only loyal to His Majesty in his life and would never support any prince.

Even if she married the King of Qin, her father would never stand on his side.

So no matter how hard Xiao Jingfeng tried, it would all be in vain in the end, and Su Yan had no need to worry.

"Your Highness, I have to go back and dress up. I will go to the palace to pay my respects in a while. Your Highness should also go and get ready. You must not be late for entering the palace."

Xiao Jingfeng was very satisfied when he heard this. Although Su Yan's personality was a little cold, he at least knew the rules.

From yesterday till now, Xiao Jingfeng couldn't find any fault with her in terms of address and etiquette.

She also took the initiative to mention that one should not be late when paying respects to the palace. It seems that General Su has taught his daughter well.

Xiao Jingfeng nodded, "Princess, you are right. I will go wash up now."

After both of them had packed up, they set off for the palace. Su Yan's outfit today still amazed Xiao Jingfeng as it did last night. Along the way, Xiao Jingfeng couldn't help but stare at Su Yan.

Even though Su Yan didn't care about other people's eyes, he still felt uncomfortable being stared at by Xiao Jingfeng.

"Your Majesty, is there something on my face? I feel offended by your staring at me."

Xiao Jingfeng was watching intently, but suddenly he heard Su Yan's usual cold words and immediately looked away.

Xiao Jingfeng smiled and said, "The princess is so beautiful today that I couldn't help but keep looking at her."

Hearing Xiao Jingfeng's words of praise, Su Yan's emotions did not fluctuate at all and remained as calm as water.

"Your Majesty, what you just said was quite impertinent. You should take it back."

Xiao Jingfeng was quite helpless about Su Yan's stubborn attitude and couldn't help but said, "Princess, don't you feel tired of rejecting others like this? Sometimes it's a good thing to accept other people's compliments, right? I just praised you, is it necessary for me to take it back?"

Seeing that Xiao Jingfeng was a little unhappy, Su Yan didn't want to argue with him about this issue at this time, so he took a step back.

"Your Highness is right. If you don't want to take it back, then that's fine. I will just pretend I didn't hear it. But Your Highness, I have already told you in advance that I will do my best to cooperate when I come to the palace to pay my respects today. But Your Highness, please be careful with your words and actions and don't do anything excessive. If it happens again like just now, I can't guarantee what I will say. I hope Your Highness knows this."

When he enters the palace today, he must first pay his respects to his father and the queen. Xiao Jingfeng must not make any mistakes in front of the queen, otherwise she will laugh at him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingfeng quickly nodded and said, "I understand. I will pay attention to it. Please cooperate as much as possible, Princess."

In a blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived in front of the emperor and empress, "Your son greets father and mother."

"Without courtesy, I will give you a seat."

"Thank you, Father."

Although she had seen her portrait before, Zhou Menglin was still shocked when she saw her in person. The portrait did not show even one ten-thousandth of Su Yan's beauty.

Zhou Menglin recalled the little girl she met that year. Apart from the coldness between her brows, she couldn't connect anything else with her.

Zhou Menglin couldn't help but sigh: "The girl from the Su family has really grown up and is so beautiful. If I hadn't introduced her specifically, I wouldn't have recognized her. Back then, I only saw a little girl like this. So many years have passed in a flash. Time flies so fast."

Hearing Zhou Menglin's praise, Su Yan just curled the corners of his lips slightly, without any particularly big change in expression.

But this expression was out of reach for Xiao Jingfeng. After all, he had put in so much effort but still couldn't get Su Yan to curl his lips.

"Mother, you are too kind. Mother has not changed at all. She is still the same as I saw when I was young."

Whether it was the change in expression just now or this sentence, it was a response that Su Yan made with great difficulty out of politeness.

It would have been too difficult for Su Yan to say anything nice, so she racked her brains to finally come up with a compliment that was pleasant to the ear and not a lie.

After so many years, it's impossible that Zhou Menglin's appearance has not changed at all, but her temperament remains the same as before.

So Su Yan only said half and kept the other half, depending on what the listeners thought, and it didn't count as lying.

Zhou Menglin also understood Su Yan's personality. It was not easy for her to say such words.

Today, the two of them just came to pay their respects as usual, so Zhou Menglin didn't need to embarrass them, so she smiled and said, "You are more talkative than before. You have all grown up, so how could I not have changed? You said this just to make me happy, it's really thoughtful."

Su Yan is not a talkative person, so Zhou Menglin exchanged a few pleasantries with her and then had nothing more to say.

Seeing this, Xiao Chenyu said to Xiao Jingfeng, "Feng'er, you have married a wife now, so you should concentrate on your work. I know about the things going on in your backyard, but I just don't want to bother with them. Please be more restrained in the future. Also, since you have married her, treat her well, and don't let me and your mother hear your gossip again. If it happens again, I will not sit idly by."

Xiao Jingfeng curled his lips when he heard this. His father always had to lecture him, but it was just this matter and he always let it go in one ear and out the other.

Although he was reluctant in his heart, he still responded obediently: "Yes, father, I will follow your teachings."

Zhou Menglin helped to smooth things over, saying, "Okay, Your Majesty, the couple is newlyweds and has a good relationship. Your Majesty, please don't say such spoiling words. It's getting late, and your mother is still waiting. You should go over quickly."

Xiao Chenyu heard this and said helplessly: "Just spoil him. Sooner or later, he will be spoiled by you. Since your mother is speaking for you, I won't say anything more. Go to your mother and stay with her for a while."

"Yes, Father, I will take my leave."

Although Xiao Jingfeng showed a grateful look on his face, he felt a little disdainful in his heart.

The Queen always pretends to be a good person in front of her father. Who knows what she really thinks in her heart?

The queen is such a shrewd person that she might not be able to see through his ambition, so how could she be sincere to him?

But since nothing has been revealed in the open, they'll just keep acting like this.

When one day he gets the support of his father-in-law, he will be able to compete with the prince. Let's see how she can still laugh then.

After the two of them left the main hall, Su Yan couldn't help but ask, "The prince seems to be somewhat dissatisfied with the queen?"

Xiao Jingfeng was stunned when he heard this. He thought he had disguised himself well enough, and even his father had never doubted his attitude towards the Queen. How did she see through it?

Xiao Jingfeng didn't rush to answer, "Why do you say that, Princess?"
