After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

The next morning, Yan Yu accompanied Xiao Chengji in the study. Xiao Chengji was writing a letter while Yan Yu was grinding ink beside him.

Not long after, a eunuch came over and said that Concubine Jin wanted to invite Princess Qin over.

Yan Yu had never met Concubine Jin, mainly because she lived with the emperor and it was not convenient for her to go and pay her respects. She only heard from some eunuchs and palace maids that she had a good relationship with the emperor and was very much favored by him.

She passed by without thinking too much.

Wei Ruxuan and Zheng arrived earlier. Wei Ruxuan had the Queen's support, so she was not afraid of Concubine Jin.

Concubine Jin had heard that the fifth prince was the Queen's biological son, and that she would have to be under the Queen's command when she returned to the harem in the future. She did not want to offend the Queen before she even arrived, so she became indifferent to Wei Ruxuan.

Zheng's appearance was no less than that of Concubine Jin. Concubine Jin had some feelings for the Seventh Prince, but she felt a little annoyed after seeing Zheng.

But Zheng was on the side of the Queen Mother. Although Concubine Jin didn't know much about the Wei Dynasty, she knew that the Queen Mother was not someone to be trifled with. In order to avoid being targeted by the Queen Mother after entering the palace, she did not target Zheng.

Yan Yu lived the farthest from Jin Fei's residence, and since the message was delivered to her last, she was the last to arrive.

Yan Yu came in a hurry, without much dressing up. She only wore a white dress with a gold and precious flower pattern. She had a row of pearl hairpins in her black hair, and a little rouge on her lips, making her look more healthy and less pale.

As she came in holding the hand of the maid, the whole room seemed to be reflected by a layer of soft light and became bright in an instant.

Concubine Jin was dumbfounded. She looked at Yan Yu again and again, twisting the handkerchief in her hand tightly.

Yan Yu bowed to Concubine Jin and said, "Your son Wen greets Her Majesty Jin."

Jin Fei looked at her coldly, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt.

In Jin Fei's eyes, the King of Qin was too arrogant! She was a princess and the most beautiful woman in the Kangfang tribe. In the eyes of the King of Qin, was she really not even worthy of carrying shoes for this woman?

"Sit down." Concubine Jin's tone was somewhat stiff. "I didn't allow you to come here today, and you didn't expect me to not even come to pay my respects."

Yan Yu said nothing and sat next to Zheng.

Wei Ruxuan gloated over Yan Yu's misfortune, not minding the excitement: "Tsk tsk, Third Sister-in-law, why are you so late? We came early, don't you think highly of Concubine Jin?"

Yan Yu said: "I came here as soon as I heard the news, but I live a little far away, so I spent more time on the road."

"I asked you to come here because I have something to reward you." Concubine Jin curled her lips, "These are the beeswax bracelets I brought from my hometown. Princess Rui and the Seventh Prince's wife each have two. Since Princess Qin is late, the reward will be lost."

Yan Yu didn't expect Concubine Jin to act like this. He found it funny for a moment but didn't say anything.

After Wei Ruxuan got the bracelet, she immediately put it on her hand and looked at Yan Yu proudly: "Thank you, Empress Jinfei, for the gift."

Yan Yu's expression did not change, as if nothing had happened.

Concubine Jin was young, beautiful and favored by the emperor. Yan Yu didn't want to leave any room for criticism in front of so many people.

Since it was Concubine Jin's thing, she wouldn't have to give it away if she didn't want to. Why would she make a fool of herself and let the emperor hear about it?

Concubine Jin kept peeking at Yan Yu and looking at the jewelry Yan Yu was wearing.

Compared with Wei Ruxuan's gorgeous red dress, Yan Yu's outfit was very plain. Moreover, Wei Ruxuan's hair was full of pearls and jade, while Yan Yu's hair was only adorned with a few pearl hairpins.

But for some reason, Concubine Jin always felt that what she wore was extremely expensive and more luxurious than those made of gold and jade.

The palace maid brought tea, and when Yan Yu raised his hand to take it, a red bracelet on his wrist was accidentally exposed.

Jin Fei asked: "What is this on your hand?"

Yan Yu said: "Jade bracelet."

Wei Ruxuan took a look and revealed a green bracelet on her hand: "Is that jadeite too? It's agate, right? How can there be red jadeite? Mine is jadeite, a gift from the Queen. It's not easy to find one as fine as mine."

In order to prove the value of her bracelet, Wei Ruxuan said bluntly: "Even if there are a hundred bracelets given by Concubine Jin, they cannot be exchanged for this one bracelet of mine."

Jin Fei's face looked a little ugly.

Zheng held Yan Yu's wrist curiously and looked at the bracelet on her hand carefully: "Fifth sister-in-law, you don't know the value of it. This is blood jade. Haven't you heard of 'a thousand jades are easy to get, but one jade is hard to find'? I have more than ten bracelets better than yours. Third sister-in-law, I have only seen such a bright and clear one at the Queen Mother's place."

Wei Ruxuan's face turned pale as she stared at Yan Yu's hand with hatred: "Where did you get it?"

Yan Yu glanced at her calmly and smiled: "I didn't steal it or rob it. Where did I get it from? Do I need to tell you?"

Zheng was still resentful of Wei Ruxuan for asking her to kneel down. Seeing this, she deliberately poked Wei Ruxuan's heart. She smiled and said, "I guess it was given by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin as a reward to my third sister-in-law. Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is generous."

Jin Fei saw the three of them mocking each other and her lips trembled with anger.

Although Concubine Jin was a princess, her tribe was not even as big as a province in the Wei Dynasty, and they lived in a remote and barren place. Their food, clothing, housing and transportation were not as good as those of the noble ladies who grew up in the capital.

Even Wei Ruxuan had more good things than she had seen.

Thinking about the few strings of beeswax bracelets she had just given out as rewards, Concubine Jin felt a little ashamed and annoyed.

After Yan Yu and his companions left, Concubine Jin went to Emperor Jianxing.

She was very unhappy, and Emperor Jianxing shaved her young and smooth face and asked her the reason.

Concubine Jin pouted and said, "I saw that the bracelet on the hand of the Princess of Qin is very beautiful, and it is red jade. I want the same one. Your Majesty, please ask the King of Qin to give it to me."

Emperor Jianxing looked a little embarrassed. He always cared about etiquette and was a king who cared a lot about his reputation.

Is it possible for an emperor to ask his daughter-in-law to give the things in his hand to his concubine?

Emperor Jianxing was unhappy: "The red jade bracelet is not rare. I will give it to you after we return to the palace."

Concubine Jin refused: "I want the one in the hands of the Princess Qin. Hers looks good. You are the Emperor, please love me and let the Prince Qin take hers."

In Jin Fei's view, this was very normal. If her brother's wife had something good on her body and her father Khan's concubine liked it, she could ask her father Khan to take it with just one word.

But the Wei Dynasty was a great empire, and a few pieces of jewelry were not presentable. Emperor Jianxing would never do such a petty thing.

Concubine Jin kept pestering him and crying, and Emperor Jianxing became a little annoyed and got up to go to Concubine Yin's residence.
