After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

The emperor is still in the Xuanzheng Hall. Yan Yu knows that he will meet the emperor this time, and he feels more or less nervous.

To her, the empress and the queen mother were secondary, and the emperor was the one who held the power of life and death.

Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. From then on, there will be endless struggles within this high walled courtyard.

In the early years, the Shao family followed Emperor Taizong in conquering the world and made military achievements. Later, generations of the family were scholars. Outsiders saw them as a family of scholars, but such a noble family was bound to have conflicts within the house.

Beneath the clear water surface is a bottomless abyss, where people fight to the death and suffer accidents for fame and fortune.

For a family like the royal family, the most important thing hanging on their head is the position of crown prince, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. In the future, they will rule the country and be respected by the whole world. There will only be more disputes like this, and the bloodshed will only be more serious.

After entering the palace gate, Yan Yu came out holding the hand of a maid. She only let two maids, Ruidong and Ningxia, follow her. Huo Ha led the way in front. Soon Yan Yu saw the tall figure of Xiao Chengji.

Yan Yu bowed to Xiao Chengji and said, "Your Highness."

Xiao Chengji nodded: "Go ahead."

The emperor had just kept the cabinet ministers to discuss matters and was just having breakfast. However, the King of Qin was his own son, so there was no need to be too formal and he could just let someone in from outside.

Yan Yu followed Xiao Chengji to pay respects to the emperor. Xiao Chengji did not kneel down, and Yan Yu did not dare to follow his etiquette, so he knelt down and paid a great salute to the emperor.

Emperor Jianxing was a little surprised. He originally thought that the young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was either sickly and looked pale, or as plain and unpretentious as Xiao Chengji had said before. After all, Xiao Chengji said she was a nerd.

I didn't expect her to be such a delicate and lively sick beauty.

He glanced at Xiao Chengji and felt more or less speechless.

Before, Emperor Jianxing really thought that his son was not lustful.

Now it seems that this guy is a picky guy and he will not touch anyone but the most beautiful one.

Emperor Jianxing said, "Princess Qin, please get up. Are you used to everything in the Qin Palace?"

Yan Yu said softly: "Thank you for your concern, father. Everything is fine in the palace."

Emperor Jianxing nodded and said, "Yue'er, the Princess of Qin is much younger than you, younger than you, and has no one at home, so don't bully her in the future."

Xiao Chengji said coldly: "Yes."

Emperor Jianxing smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I met the two young masters of the Anqing Marquisate a few days ago. They are both well-educated. Princess Qin, your two uncles have taught you well. I haven't seen them for many years. How are they now? How are the officials and people in Lingcheng?"

Yan Yu said, "Before leaving Lingcheng, I went to pay my respects to my two uncles. My uncles are in good health and asked me to serve His Highness well after the marriage to repay the emperor's care for the Wen and Shao families. When I was in Lingcheng, I stayed in the back house and could only see my uncles during the holidays. I didn't know much about the situation of officials and people. However, the old lady at home mentioned that Lingcheng has been prosperous and lively in recent years, with no natural disasters or wars. The old lady is often grateful for the great grace of heaven."

Emperor Jianxing smiled and glanced at Yan Yu: "That's right, Princess Qin, you should take good care of the palace in the future. If you have any problems in the future, you can directly send someone to ask me to help you."

"Yes."

Emperor Jianxing said, "Yue'er, please stay and talk about the case in the Ministry of Justice. Huoha, take the princess to the Queen and Queen Mother's palace to pay respects."

Huoha responded, "Yes."

As soon as Yan Yu left, Xiao Chengji said, "The fight and murder case has been settled. Father wants to see the files. I'll have someone send them over."

"There are some things I am not clear about. Please tell me the process of solving the case in more detail."

Xiao Chengji explained the whole process in detail.

After he finished speaking, Emperor Jianxing said, "The daughter of the Wen family is good, and the Shao family has raised her very well. Now that you have started a family, don't be too nosy and give birth to a few children as soon as possible."

When Xiao Chengji heard the emperor talking to him about this again, he was about to walk out.

"You want to go to the Queen Mother too?" Emperor Jianxing snorted coldly, "Stay here."

Xiao Chengji said, "This is the first time the princess has met her. She will definitely try every means to make things difficult for her. Even if you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner first. Moreover, she is my princess. I want to go over and take a look."

"Princess Qin knows how to advance and retreat better than you do. You will only cause trouble if you go there." Emperor Jianxing said, "Yue'er, how many losses have you suffered in these years? Don't you have a good memory? A gentleman can be big or small, and a man can bend and stretch. It would be better to die with honor than to live in disgrace, which will only make you break prematurely."

Xiao Chengji's face was cold, and some words were about to come out of his mouth. He knew that this was disobedient and disrespectful, but he still said it: "Father, I am different from you. Whether I like it or not, as long as she is my princess, I will protect her in this position."

In Shoukang Palace.

Queen Mother Zheng sat at the head of the table with a smile on her face: "Quick, Manqing, let the Princess of Qin come forward and show me."

Nanny Zhao quickly helped Yan Yu to the presence of Empress Dowager Zheng.

Queen Mother Zheng held Yan Yu's hand, her face smiling like a chrysanthemum, and she looked her over with her cloudy eyes: "Look, how beautiful this girl is! She is even more beautiful than Concubine Bo back then!"

When Queen Zheng below heard this, a trace of disgust and unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

Wei Ruxuan, who was standing beside Queen Zheng, was also stunned. She couldn't believe that this was the poor sickly girl.

Queen Mother Zheng seemed to like Yan Yu very much and asked her to sit next to her: "My dear girl, it is really unfair for you to marry the King of Qin. The King of Qin...sigh, he has been cruel and cruel since he was a child, a devil-like character, and was spoiled by the emperor! If you encounter any grievances in front of him in the future, you must tell me and I will take care of it for you!"

Yan Yu smiled and said, "If I have any grievances in the future, I will definitely not dare to hide them from you! His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is a little cold and arrogant, but when you get along with him, he is actually a man with a very good nature. It is Yan'er's blessing to marry His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. How can I feel wronged?"

Queen Mother Zheng narrowed her eyes and said, "Haha, good, you two are getting along harmoniously, and I am happy too."

Yan Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern."

Queen Mother Zheng's smile faded. "Princess Qin, you are a little frail. The most important thing for a royal family is offspring. This year I must see the Qin Palace have children, whether born by you or by a concubine. There must be a few. If not, you are not qualified to be the principal wife."

Yan Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, the Queen Mother is right, I will do my best."

As soon as he came in, Yan Yu knew that Queen Mother Zheng was not easy to deal with.

No matter whether he is truly kind or pretending to be kind, as long as he is not in the same camp as the Qin Palace, we must be careful.

Regarding the child, no matter whether you can achieve your goal or not, just go along with what she says and deal with it first, and don't let her use it as an excuse to make a big fuss.

As for whether it can be completed or not, we will talk about it later.
