After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

The weather in the capital became hot after summer, and the emperor rewarded a lot of gauze and satin. These were the latest tributes and were rare even in the palace. Concubines of lower ranks could not even touch them.

Jiang was well-informed and introduced these things to Yan Yu with a smile: "This is snow-white gauze, and this is cicada-wing gauze. These two colors are beautiful. I'll make you some clothes later. They're light and beautiful to wear in the summer. And this crepe can be used to make two sets of underwear. You can wear them at night without getting wet."

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is gone, and there is no longer any man in the Wen family who can go on the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country.

The emperor was not a heartless person and he had often asked about Yan Yu's situation over the years.

But these rewards were the first time.

Jiang said, "It can be seen that the emperor likes the Prince of Qin very much, and he gave you so many things because he loves the Prince of Qin. When you first came to the capital, you were engaged to the fifth prince, but the emperor never asked about it."

Yan Yu smiled slightly: "It is indeed good that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is appreciated by the Emperor."

Jiang thought of the rumors from outside and gently patted Yan Yu's hand.

In fact, things were fine at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion during this period, and few people dared to talk about Yan Yu's marriage.

But the outside world is different.

Yan Yu's marriage was changed from the fifth prince to the Prince of Qin. I wonder how many people are gossiping about it.

Queen Mother Zheng has been depressed these past two days. She has no appetite and dislikes everyone.

Queen Zheng was humiliated and scolded several times by Empress Dowager Zheng, and she was very dissatisfied.

Queen Mother Zheng was old and was Queen Zheng's backer.

If Empress Dowager Zheng had not repeatedly put pressure on the emperor, the position of empress would not have fallen on her.

Queen Zheng did not dare to hate Queen Dowager Zheng, so the hatred naturally fell on Yan Yu.

In the past few days, the ladies with imperial decrees have entered the palace to pay their respects to Empress Zheng. Since Jiang is in the capital and Shao Hong holds a fifth-rank idle position, she is also a lady with imperial decrees, so she has to enter the palace.

As soon as the fifth prince married a concubine, many people came to congratulate Queen Zheng.

Queen Zheng was satisfied with Wei Ruxuan. She thought that the child was well-behaved, smart, and most importantly, strong. She could obviously give birth to a son for the Fifth Prince.

She smiled and praised Wei Ruxuan.

After praising her, Empress Zheng looked at Jiang again and asked about Yan Yu's condition: "I heard that Miss Wen has not been in good health since she was a child. Is she feeling better these past two days?"

Jiang smiled and said a few perfunctory words.

Empress Zheng smiled and said, "The Emperor values ​​the Prince of Qin the most. He has no children so far. Looking at Miss Wen's physical condition, it is probably difficult for her to have children. Let's persuade the Emperor to give the Prince of Qin two concubines so that the children born can be raised by the Princess of Qin."

As soon as Queen Zheng said this, everyone in the palace came to watch Jiang's fun, gloating over her misfortune.

Jiang was extremely depressed.

Yan Yu has not even married into the Prince of Qin's Palace, but she is already facing many crises.

Look, the Queen is already thinking of getting two concubines for the Prince of Qin!

If I really get married, how will I live my life?

Jiang was afraid that Yan Yu would be upset after hearing it, so she didn't tell Yan Yu until now that so many people in the capital were waiting to laugh at her.

But there are some things that need to be reminded.

Jiang said softly, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is not the daughter of the Empress, and the Empress sees him as a thorn in her side. Yan'er, after you marry into the royal family, you must be careful of Empress Zheng."

Yan Yu nodded slightly.

Yan Yu had actually heard about these things.

The mother of the Prince of Qin was Concubine Bo. When Concubine Bo was alive, the Emperor loved her very much and proposed three times to make Concubine Bo the Queen.

Unfortunately, Empress Dowager Zheng was bent on supporting a woman from the Zheng family to ascend to the throne. At that time, Empress Zheng was still Concubine Zheng and had a bad relationship with the emperor.

Queen Mother Zheng was the biological mother of the emperor. The Wei Dynasty emphasized the word "filial piety" in everything it did. Emperor Jianxing was a wise and capable ruler, so naturally he had to set an example for the world in everything he did and it was impossible for him to do anything rebellious or unfilial.

Queen Mother Zheng threatened to commit suicide several times, so the matter of making Concubine Bo the queen was abandoned.

Later, Concubine Bo died and the emperor made Concubine Zheng the empress.

After Queen Zheng entered the Eastern Palace, it would have been reasonable for her to make the fifth prince she gave birth to the crown prince, after all, the fifth prince was the legitimate son.

However, the emperor posthumously conferred the title of Empress Xiaohui on Concubine Bo, wrote many poems in her memory, and made the third prince Xiao Chengji, born to Concubine Bo, the King of Qin, thus suppressing the fifth prince.

In recent years, the King of Qin and the Fifth Prince have been competing against each other. As the Emperor's health is getting worse and the two princes are getting older, many things have become more intense.

The emperor had already negotiated with Empress Dowager Zheng for several rounds regarding the marriage of the two princes.

Yan Yu said: "I know how difficult things are in the palace. Don't worry, aunt, I will be careful in everything and will not bring shame to the Wen and Shao families."

Seeing Yan Yu being so sensible, Jiang couldn't help but rub Yan Yu's hair: "Good boy."

The two were talking for a while, and before long, the servants outside came in to say that the eldest master had returned.

Shao Junliang came back from outside and told Jiang something through the screen.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin just came over. The brothers Shao Junliang and Shao Junshou, as well as Shao Hong, talked to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin for a while. Now Shao Hong and Shao Junshou are accompanying His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin to stroll in the garden. Shao Junliang came over to report the news.

Jiang smiled and glanced at Yan Yu, then said jokingly, "Your future husband has come to our house. It seems that our son-in-law is quite sensible."

Yan Yu lowered his head and remained silent.

Jiang said to Shao Junliang: "How is His Royal Highness Prince Qin? What did he say?"

"We talked about the wedding date." Shao Junliang wiped the sweat from his forehead. "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was very imposing. He stood there and we dared not breathe. We just listened to his orders. By the way, His Royal Highness also sent a betrothal gift, saying it was for our daughter."

Shao Junliang handed a box to Xiao Cui'er, who took it in and put it in Yan Yu's hand.

Yan Yu placed a heavy iron box on the table and opened it curiously.

A foot-long dagger was placed in the box, with a white jade handle inlaid with gems and a dark leather sheath. Yan Yu pulled the dagger out of the sheath, and a white light flashed, emitting a chilling chill.

Jiang was shocked: "Take it back quickly, why did you send such a scary thing?!"

Yan Yu put the dagger back into the sheath.

Shao Junliang said, "This is the gift from the Emperor to His Royal Highness the Third Prince when he was named the King of Qin. It can cut iron silently and jade like mud. There is only one such blade in the entire Wei Dynasty. The King of Qin just said that you are a weak girl, so it is most appropriate to give you such a sharp blade to protect yourself."

"You go down first." Jiang sighed, "Your Highness Prince Qin, it's really..."

Outsiders say that he is cruel and warlike, and his methods are quite tough.

Others' betrothal gifts included seafood, mountain delicacies, gold and silver, but he went one step further and deliberately gave a dagger to scare his own girl.

Jiang held Yan Yu's hand and said, "My dear child, he is a lunatic. After you marry him, don't provoke him or quarrel with him."
