Reborn as a legitimate daughter, huh? Why is she different from her previous life?

After a pause, Empress Shen continued with a solemn look, "Our Shen family is not strong enough to compete with them. Although Yin'er is the legitimate prince, you also know that in this palace, no matter if it is a prince or a princess, who doesn't have ambition?! If Yin'er ascends the throne, they will only try every means to take Yin'er's life, and then they will take that position themselves!"

"My mother's family cannot provide much help to Yin'er, and the Yu family is too powerful. If the girl of the Yu family gives birth to another prince, who can guarantee that the Yu family and the General's Mansion will not become more and more ambitious and eventually replace Yin'er's throne!"

Aunt An: “…”

Aunt An: “???”

She thought that the Queen might be ill. What was wrong with the Fourth Prince having a Yue family member who could help and intimidate the court?

Are we going to leave His Majesty the Fourth Prince isolated and helpless?

Of course, she didn't think that the Queen's idea was groundless. After all, the situation she was worried about had happened in the past... But when Miss Yu hadn't married the Fourth Prince yet, the Queen had already planned how the Fourth Prince would "discard the donkey after it has served its purpose" towards the Yu family in the future. This still made Nanny An, who had been with her for decades, feel disappointed.

But I can't say anything against it!

Although Nanny An was Empress Shen's wet nurse, she was also the person who had accompanied Empress Shen the longest. Empress Shen was no longer the original daughter of the Shen family.

Yes, in this treacherous palace, how could there be anyone with a sincere heart...

"Nurse, our Shen family is going to rise to prominence!" Queen Shen suddenly smiled strangely, "As long as Yin'er succeeds to the throne, no one in Beifeng Kingdom will dare to suppress our Shen family anymore!"

Aunt An: “……?”

Nanny An was really confused. Hasn't the Shen family always been doing well? ? What did the Queen mean by this? ?

Could it be that the emperor had suppressed the Shen family for so many years and she didn't know? ? ?

But such an important position as the commander of the Imperial Guard was handed over to the Shen family by the emperor himself. Although the relationship between the emperor and the empress is not as close as before, they can still be regarded as respectful to each other.

The use of the central palace has never been waited for!

Where did these ideas of the Queen come from? Nanny An felt that her brain was not enough...

Just as Nanny An was getting more and more confused, Aunt Huachun, the chief maid of Empress Shen, hurried in and said, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is here. Please go to the front hall to talk."

……

Feng Chengyin didn't know that after he left, a bloodless contest between Empress Shen and the Queen Mother was staged in Empress Shen's palace. At this time, he had already arrived at the secret place between him and his seventh brother.

Sure enough, Feng Chengxuan was seen as a small person, squatting on the ground alone.

"Xiaoqi."

Hearing his royal brother's voice suddenly appearing in his ears, Feng Chengxuan raised his head in a daze, with tears still hanging on his little face.

“Royal brother!” Little Feng Chengxuan dove into his brother’s arms like a cannonball, “Wuwuwu, Royal brother…”

Feng Chengyin's heart sank, he felt that his royal brother was not in a good state, as if he had something on his mind.

The seventh brother was raised by the queen mother since he was young, and he was not close to the emperor when they met on weekdays. Even if the emperor passed away, he should not cry and tremble all over. Besides, the seventh brother has always been a thoughtful child. He himself knows that his father does not value his mother or his brother, so naturally he will not like him, the youngest son, very much.

"Xiao Qi, what happened? Tell your brother. Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Feng Chengyin picked up the little bun and comforted him softly.

The little boy Feng Chengxuan just cried, not sure if he was scared or what, but he trembled even more violently after hearing Feng Chengyin's question.

Feng Chengyin pursed his thin lips, and after feeling the resistance of the little one in his arms, he had to continue to coax him softly.

After a while, Feng Chengxuan seemed to be tired of crying. He slowly raised his little head from his brother's arms, and the expression on his face was almost tangled into a lump.

"Xiao Qi." Feng Chengyin held the little boy in one hand and rubbed his little head with the other hand, "Although the emperor is gone, I still have my brother and my mother..."

When little Feng Chengxuan heard the word "Queen Mother", he subconsciously shuddered.

Feng Chengyin's eyes darkened slightly, but he did not ask the little bun the reason. He smiled gently, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoqi, the emperor will protect you!"

"Royal brother..." The little kid raised his wet eyes and carefully grasped his brother's clothes, "Can you really protect Xiao Qi?"

Feng Chengyin smiled and tapped his little nose, "Of course!"

Feng Chengxuan has been precocious since childhood, and although he is only a few years old now, his mind is calmer than many adult princes. But at this moment, he looks hesitant and seems to want to say something.

Feng Chengyin knew that he must be hiding something in his heart, so he didn't force him. He just held him and comforted him gently.

No matter how calm he is, he is just a child of a few years old. Feng Chengyin would rather he be like a normal child, crying when something happens and laughing when he is happy...

After struggling for a while, Feng Chengxuan seemed to have finally made up his mind. He leaned close to his brother's ear and whispered, "Brother, can you take Xiaoqi back home?"

Feng Chengyin raised his eyebrows and said casually, "Whenever Xiaoqi wants to go to Fourth Brother's house, Fourth Brother is willing. But, remember to tell Mother..."

Unexpectedly, when little Feng Chengxuan heard the word "Queen Mother", he trembled again.

Feng Chengyin's brows were knitted together. He was now certain that Xiaoqi was afraid of his mother!

But Xiaoqi is the Queen Mother's biological child. She has fallen out of favor with her mother since she was young. Although she still occupies the position of Queen, her father has not only failed to deprive her of her power in the palace, but has also often humiliated her mother in front of the concubines.

It was for this reason that the Queen Mother devoted all her energy to the two brothers and took care of them meticulously. Except for the fact that their father did not give them much fatherly love, the Queen Mother gave them all her love.

Xiaoqi shouldn’t be so afraid of her mother!

unless……

Just as Feng Chengyin was still thinking about what his mother had done to Xiao Qi, the little bun's trembling voice rang in his ears again, "Royal brother, can you... can you not tell mother yet..."

"Xiao Qi is afraid..."

Feng Chengyin felt the little boy's body trembling more and more, and quickly hugged him tightly again, "Okay, my royal brother will take you out of the palace now!"

Feng Chengyin took the little bun Feng Chengxuan out of the palace. Anyway, there was nothing else in the palace that he needed to deal with. The spy he left in the palace had just brought back news that his father had died of a sudden emergency...

There is not a single trace of human effort.

Feng Chengyin felt that his mother had become a little strange to him...
