After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

The next day, when Yan Yu woke up, Zheng Jiaolian came to her early in the morning.

Yan Yu couldn't understand why Zheng Jiaolian came to see her every now and then. She guessed carefully and thought that the Seventh Prince Xiao Qirui was cunning and might have asked Zheng to come here to spy on the news of King Qin.

In any case, Zheng was not as arrogant as Wei. Her every move was well-behaved and polite, and her words carried a lot of weight with the empress dowager, so Yan Yu couldn't act too cold.

In fact, Zheng was just lonely.

At the beginning, Zheng's father had the hope of inheriting the title of Duke of England, and the second branch of the Zheng family was prominent for a time. In addition, she and the seventh prince were newlyweds, and the two of them got along well for a while and were very much in love.

Now the position of the crown prince has been given to the inconspicuous third branch of the Zheng family. Zheng's father is mediocre and incompetent in the court, and Xiao Qirui has also become indifferent to her.

In the past, Zheng's grandfather Zheng Can had a very important say in the cabinet and was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. Even for Zheng Can's sake, Xiao Qirui should have respected her.

But now——

Zheng Shu was exiled, and Zheng Can withdrew from the cabinet and gave up his position as Minister of Personnel.

There was no disturbance in the harem, but there was a big disturbance in the previous dynasty. The people left in the Ministry of Personnel by Zheng Can were eliminated one by one by Xiao Chengji's people.

The Zheng family looked at the situation that was about to collapse. Before, Zheng had not been so afraid of Xiao Qirui, but now she was even more afraid.

The Queen Mother's health could not bear it and she did not go north for the autumn hunt.

The Seventh Prince did not bring any other concubines with him. Even if he did, Zheng and them would have nothing to say.

She came to Yan Yu's place just because she felt comfortable getting along with Yan Yu and wanted to talk to him to relieve the loneliness and depression she had experienced along the way.

If Yan Yu was having the same bad time as her, she would be able to feel comforted as well.

Yan Yu was in a good mood in the morning. He chatted and laughed with Wanli while eating something. When Zheng came over, Wanli immediately stood up and stood beside her.

Zheng smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law's place is bright and warm, unlike our place, where there are many trees planted and it's a bit dark."

"We'll be leaving after just one day," Yan Yu said with a smile, "It's cold outside, right? Come sit down and have some hot tea."

Zheng took the hot tea and took a few sips. The tea tasted fragrant. It was made by boiling red dates, walnuts, pine nuts, almonds and other fruits together. It should also have added Ganoderma lucidum and other herbs. It had a special aroma.

Zheng smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law is quite at ease. Did you bring any other concubines with you this time?"

Yan Yu shook his head.

Zheng said, "Seventh Master didn't bring him either. He has been waiting on others recently, and the maids around me don't like him. If I had known, I would have brought his concubine with me."

Wanli felt sick after hearing this and turned around and left.

Zheng looked at her and said: "This little girl has such a bad temper, what's wrong with her?"

Yan Yu said: "She is tired from riding in the carriage these two days, and she wants to go out and play."

"So that's how it is." Zheng sighed, "Seventh Master is really good at giving people problems. He has taken a fancy to someone, saying that she is the cousin of Princess Rui, and asked me to go over and talk to her about getting her to be his concubine."

Yan Yu: "..."

The affairs of the other party's backyard also involved the Ruijun Prince's Mansion and the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Yan Yu didn't want to get involved.

The relationship between Zheng and Wei Ruxuan is just like that. If Wei Ruxuan's cousin were really brought into the house, Zheng would feel uncomfortable.

Zheng said: "Third sister-in-law, what do you think I should do?"

"I haven't heard that Princess Rui brought any cousins ​​here." Yan Yu said, "When it comes to marriage, you really need to find out more about the other person's character and personality. Don't rush into it."

Zheng didn't hear Yan Yu say anything useful for a long time, and she felt lost.

Although the Princess of Qin was a beauty, she was an empty-headed beauty. She had no ideas in her mind and could not come up with any ideas. She could only say a few sweet words to please the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

Zheng thought that if Yan Yu encountered the same situation as herself, he would definitely be more helpless than herself.

She murmured, "When I have time later, I'll go to ask my fifth sister-in-law."

Zheng stayed with Yan Yu for more than half an hour, drank tea and chatted with him, and then left.

After she left, Yan Yu was still a little dazed.

Yan Yu couldn't understand why the Seventh Prince would behave like this.

Logically speaking, Xiao Qirui and Xiao Jiashan had already broken up because of various things happening in the Zheng family.

Xiao Qirui is a very thoughtful person. It is said that he was rejected by Wei Ruxuan and he has no good feelings towards Wei Ruxuan.

Now Xiao Qiru wants to marry Wei Ruxuan's cousin as a concubine. This is weird no matter how you think about it.

When Xiao Chengji came back for lunch at noon, Yan Yu talked to him about it.

"Is it possible that the Seventh Prince feels that the situation is not good and wants to mend his relationship with the Prince of Rui?" Yan Yu said, "Maybe he is thinking that if the Princess of Rui's relatives come into the family, the Princess of Rui will say a few good words in front of the Prince."

"..."

Xiao Chengji glanced at her and said, "You think too much. You think about so many things every day. No wonder you can't eat."

In addition to other soups, a pigeon soup was also served at noon. It was made by simmering red dates, wolfberries, longans, ophiopogon japonicus, codonopsis pilosula, angelica sinensis and astragalus membranaceus together over a slow fire. The soup tasted particularly sweet and warm. After drinking a bowl of hot soup, all the coldness was gone and my hands and feet became warm.

Yan Yu said: "We should always ask more, what if we find out something?"

Xiao Chengji said nonchalantly: "He wants to mend his relationship with Xiao Jiashan, and he will never rely on marrying a relative of the Wei family. He is a prince, and he is not that cheap. It is probably the cousin of the Princess of Rui County who is beautiful and capable, and he wants to take her in to play with her for a while."

Xiao Chengji knew that Yan Yu would still ask around, and sometimes he couldn't understand why Yan Yu was so wary of everyone. She was soft and warm when he hugged her, but she was only nice to him and was a little cold and indifferent to everyone else.

Yan Yu has spent so much money in the past year and bought off so many people's hearts. So many people outside speak well of her, so it is not difficult for her to find out this.

Xiao Chengji said: "If you don't believe me, ask someone to find out. Be good and drink more soup. We will be on the road tomorrow and I won't be able to spend so much time making soup for you."

Yan Yu was a little curious: "Why do you put all these random herbs in the food you eat these days?"

"It's getting cold, eat something good to replenish your qi and blood. Don't be picky. If you are picky, you will only starve."

Yan Yu held a small and exquisite white jade bowl with gold decoration and drank all the soup in his eyes.

Today we have a dish of roasted venison. Although it looks rough and not as delicate as other dishes, the venison is carefully marinated with various secret palace spices before roasting. When roasting, it is finely brushed with oil and sprinkled with fresh powder made from cumin, mushrooms and bamboo shoots. It is padded with juicy green leaves, and the meat tastes fragrant and tender.

Xiao Chengji picked up a plate of venison for her and said, "You don't believe in Buddhism, and eating meat and sugar-filled cakes all day is not good for your health."

Yan Yu really likes grilled food, and his appetite has been surprisingly good in the past two days, so he finished all of them.
