After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Yan Yu was surprised when he heard the news that Concubine Jin had regained favor.

She was curious about what happened to Concubine Jin, but during this period, a new group of people had been replaced in Concubine Jin's palace, and the palace maid that Yan Yu originally knew was replaced.

After some inquiries, it became clear that when Concubine Jin was ill, she was seen dancing in the plum forest wearing a purple dress.

When Concubine Bo was alive, her favorite color was purple. It is said that Concubine Jin's dancing posture was very similar to that of Concubine Bo.

In addition, Concubine Jin's illness was caused by Empress Zheng, and the emperor already disliked Empress Zheng. As if he was against the empress, the emperor went to Concubine Jin's palace for two or three days and rewarded her with many good things.

To be honest, Yan Yuzhen doesn't care who the emperor likes or dislikes.

Without his mother, Xiao Chengji seldom came here. He was very popular in the previous dynasty, and he was afraid that someone in the harem would dislike him and sow discord between them in front of the emperor.

In the blink of an eye, there was another happy event in the Liang Mansion. The new bride got married, and Princess Xianyi held a banquet and invited everyone. Yan Yu went there early.

She hasn't been to the palace for some time, and hasn't been to the Queen Mother for almost ten days.

Princess Xianyi heard something funny, and she laughed while talking to Yan Yu: "Do you know? Recently, we have had friction with the Cang Kingdom. The Queen Mother and my brother said that it would be better for the two countries to form an alliance to stop the war."

Yan Yu shook his head.

She really didn't know what would happen next with this matter.

Yan Yu thought about it these days and thought that the Queen Mother was deliberately saying that to anger her.

After so many years of conflict between the two countries, it is not easy to get them to form a marriage alliance.

The relationship between Princess Xianyi and the emperor is not as close as it used to be, but a few days ago, the old Prince Feng celebrated his birthday. The old prince was the emperor's uncle, and they had a harmonious relationship over the years, so she specially held a banquet in the Purple Palace and gathered many members of the royal family to celebrate for the old prince.

Only members of the royal family, as well as several princesses and their husbands-in-law in Beijing, came that day.

After three rounds of drinking, Queen Mother Zheng suddenly made things difficult for Xiao Chengji at the banquet, asking him to marry the princess of Cang State, so that the two countries would cease fighting.

Yan Yu listened carefully.

She knew about the birthday celebration for Prince Feng, and Xiao Chengji had told her about it before he left. But Yan Yu really didn't know about what happened at the banquet, and Xiao Chengji didn't tell her.

Princess Xianyi smiled and said, "The King of Qin refused on the spot, saying that he would not marry someone from an enemy country. The Queen Mother was immediately angry and reprimanded the King of Qin in front of the royal family for disregarding the country and the suffering people on the border. The Queen Mother embarrassed the King of Qin in public more than once or twice. Among all the princes, the King of Qin suffered the most."

These last few words are true.

Ever since Xiao Chengji could remember, the Queen Mother had been trying every means to embarrass him in front of clan members and ministers.

At that time, Xiao Chengji was still young. How could a child's mind and thoughts compare with those of an adult who was two generations older than him?

The Queen Mother often provoked him to say something unpleasant, or deliberately made people embarrass him. Every time this happened, the Emperor would smooth things over for Xiao Chengji.

Over time, the royal family began to have some opinions about Xiao Chengji, thinking that he was not as sensible as other princes and that the emperor favored him too much.

Xiao Chengji also became increasingly violent and cold, and stopped getting close to his relatives.

Yan Yu listened attentively and asked curiously: "Then what?"

Princess Xianyi said: "Old Prince Chun is ill, did you know that? It's because the Queen Mother is angry with him."

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, before Xiao Chengji and the Emperor could even open their mouths, Prince Chun stood up in anger.

Prince Chun is the most respected prince in the royal family. He is the younger brother who was raised in the same empress's palace as the late emperor. He is 92 years old this year, and the emperor respects him immensely.

The old prince has not been involved in state affairs in recent years. He has not come out for a long time. This time he has given the honor of celebrating with Prince Feng.

His most beloved youngest son died at the hands of the Cang people fifty years ago.

So many years have passed, Prince Chun has many grandchildren, and everyone thinks that Prince Chun has forgotten about this matter.

When the Queen Mother started to insist on marrying the Prince of Qin, Prince Chun was so angry that he trembled.

Princess Xianyi took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and continued: "The old prince first brought up the incident of the Cang Kingdom massacring 80,000 Wei citizens, and then said that no less than ten royal family members died at the hands of the Cang Kingdom, and also talked about... your father and brother."

After Yan Yu heard about his father and brother, his expression changed slightly.

Princess Xianyi patted her hand in a soothing manner: "The Duke of Zhenguo has made great contributions to the Wei Dynasty, and everyone remembers it. The old prince said at the time that the Queen Mother was short-sighted, mean and ungrateful, and would chill the hearts of all the soldiers in the world."

To be honest, Princess Xianyi really felt that the Queen Mother was old and confused.

No matter how much she hated the King of Qin, she shouldn't have come up with such a way to humiliate him.

Empress Dowager Zheng had never been scolded like this in decades. She was so angry that she almost fainted and asked the emperor to kill Prince Chun and his family.

Prince Chun had a good reputation and had not been involved in government affairs for many years. He was also the emperor's elder. How could the emperor kill him?

If Prince Chun was killed because of this incident, the emperor's reputation built up over the years would be ruined and he would be labeled a tyrant.

At the very least, members of the royal family will not accept his authority; at worst, military generals will be disheartened and the people living in border areas will become disunited.

At that time, most of the royal family members stood up to plead for Prince Chun, and bluntly stated that the Cang Kingdom had evil ambitions and the two countries must never seek peace through marriage.

The emperor did not want to marry, but he could not stand the queen mother's love of interfering in government affairs. The situation had become like this, so the emperor quickly summoned the imperial physician to treat the queen mother, who was so angry that she covered her chest and cried.

Princess Xianyi didn't say this on a whim.

Prince Chun was able to live to such an old age, and he was favored by the emperor and received many favors. He was not suspected by the emperor, and his family was rich and powerful. He was an extremely smart prince.

He said these words in front of the royal family because of his youngest son who had been harmed for decades.

Instead, he used these words to surrender to the King of Qin and express his intentions to him.

If the Zheng family was still as prosperous as before, Princess Xianyi really didn't believe that Prince Chun would dare to be so rude to the Queen Mother.

Even a smart person like Prince Chun has taken side, and other clan members will soon make their attitudes clear.

However, after returning that day, Prince Chun fell ill, and it was not known whether it was a real illness or a fake one. The emperor even visited him in person.

Princess Xianyi said: "Prince Chun is old and has not been in good health in the past two years. His family has kept a low profile. You haven't seen many of their family members, right? It just so happens that I haven't been there yet. I'll go with you to see them one day."

Yan Yu nodded: "Thank you for accompanying me, Princess."

The two of them drank tea and talked for a long time, and guests from outside came in one after another.

Xia also arrived early. She looked very happy and asked several wet nurses to bring out the little princess and the little prince. It was said that she took her children with her wherever she went.

When these two little guys came, everyone was attracted to them. Even Yan Yu couldn't help but hug the little princess and the little prince and kiss their soft little faces.
