After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Queen Mother Zheng held Yan Yu's hand and said a few words. At this time, several concubines came in to pay their respects to Queen Mother Zheng.

When Queen Zheng saw these people coming in, a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes.

In recent years, many new people have entered the harem. They are young and beautiful, and each of them has many talents, making those who entered the palace earlier look like fish eyes.

The highest-ranking among them was Concubine Luo, the biological mother of the seventh prince Xiao Qirui. Over the years, she had often flattered and fawned on Empress Zheng and Empress Dowager Zheng.

Concubine Luo raised her eyes and saw Yan Yu above her. She smiled and said, "Oh, the person in front of the Queen Mother is——"

Queen Mother Zheng patted Yan Yu's hand and said, "This is the Princess of Qin. Yan'er, this is the Seventh Prince's mother, Consort Luo."

Yan Yu bowed.

Seeing that Queen Mother Zheng was in a good mood today, Concubine Luo rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "It turns out that there is such a beauty who can shame the moon and the flowers. The King of Qin is so lucky..."

Before she could finish her words, Concubine Luo saw Queen Zheng's face darken.

Queen Zheng hated these vixen-like women the most and felt sick when she saw them.

Concubine Luo spent more time with Empress Zheng than with Empress Dowager Zheng. If she offended Empress Zheng, her life would not be easy at all.

Princess Qin looked at the young boy, who had grown up outside without a father or mother and had no education. How smart could he be?

If you can say something to her, you can even curry favor with the Queen.

As for the Queen Mother... no one would believe that the Queen Mother really likes Princess Qin.

Concubine Luo continued, "I heard that the Princess of Qin is not in good health? You must take good care of yourself in the future. The King of Qin has a strong evil spirit, and even ghosts and gods are afraid of him. It's good for you to marry the King of Qin, because you can't defeat him."

The smile on Yan Yu's face gradually faded, and he turned his head to look at Luo Fei: "Madam Luo Fei, I am young and ignorant, and I don't understand some of your words. What do you mean?"

Luo Fei didn't expect her to retreat in order to advance. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment and said with a smile: "What's the point? I heard people outside say this and I think it makes some sense."

Yan Yu curled his lips and said coldly: "According to what Concubine Luo said, I shouldn't have been born. If I hadn't been born, Cang Kingdom wouldn't have fought a war with Wei Kingdom for hundreds of years, right? I will go to the emperor right now and ask him to sentence me to death with a white silk. If I die, nothing will happen."

Concubine Luo didn't expect that she would dare to say such things, and she panicked instantly: "Look at you, what are you saying? What about life and death? Can you say this in front of the Empress Dowager? Can you let the Emperor hear it?"

Queen Mother Zheng frowned and said, "Why listen to the gossips of your subordinates? It's fine if they say it, but you, as the master, actually dare to believe it! I'll cut off the tongues of those who gossip!"

Concubine Luo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the Queen Mother is right."

At this time Xiao Chengji also walked in from outside.

No one expected Xiao Chengji to come. He had not visited Queen Mother Zheng to pay his respects year after year, and it was well known that he had a strained relationship with the Zheng family.

Queen Mother Zheng narrowed her eyes slightly and gently moved the huge gem on the armor with her fingernails: "Prince Qin, you actually came to my place. You are such a rare guest. I thought you would not come. After all, among all the princes, you are the only one who takes filial piety the least seriously."

The word "filial piety" is of great importance. In the Wei Dynasty, if someone was accused of being unfilial, it would cause controversy if the news got out.

Xiao Chengji has always been strong and has never avoided the forces of the Queen Mother.

But the empress dowager is an elder after all, the mother of the current emperor. No matter how fiercely they fight in private, they must always be respectful when meeting her in person.

Yan Yu was shocked by the Queen Mother's words.

She and Xiao Chengji had only known each other for a short time, but she could tell that this guy was not someone who liked to bow his head.

Yan Yu has always been flexible. Having lived under someone else's roof for many years, it has become ingrained in her to know what to say in what occasion.

Without waiting for Xiao Chengji to speak, Yan Yu went down with a smile, took Xiao Chengji's hand and bowed to Queen Dowager Zheng.

Yan Yu smiled and said, "Your Highness, your words are too serious. It's not that Your Highness doesn't want to come, but that Your Highness really can't spare the time. There are too many important matters at the court. Yesterday, Your Highness was still complaining that there were too many things to do in the Ministry of Justice and he didn't have time to go to the Empress Dowager to show his filial piety, so he asked me to pay respects on his behalf. I will come to accompany you in the future. If you are unhappy with His Highness the Prince of Qin, feel free to vent it to me."

Xiao Chengji glanced at Yan Yu and walked down the stairs she handed him. "Replying to the Queen Mother, there have been several serious cases in the Ministry of Justice recently, and I have also accepted an assignment from the Ministry of War. I cannot get away to come to the harem to pay my respects."

Empress Dowager Zheng had just wanted to provoke Xiao Chengji, so she pretended to be sick with Xiao Chengji's anger and called the emperor over.

After Yan Yu tried to smooth things over, the matter was just resolved.

Queen Mother Zheng smiled with a fake smile: "Please take a seat and serve tea."

Xiao Chengji sat down. Yan Yu did not go to Queen Mother Zheng again, but sat next to him.

Concubine Luo had just suffered a loss and wanted to make up for it. Now that everyone was drinking tea, she finally got the chance and said with a smile: "Oh, look, the King of Qin married a princess with a sharp tongue. Everything she says makes sense."

Xiao Chengji glanced at her coldly: "Some people are tongue-tied and don't know how to speak in a proper manner, so they naturally think that my princess is a good talker."

Concubine Luo was frustrated again, and neither the Queen Mother nor the Queen Mother supported her, so she became depressed.

Wei Ruxuan, who was standing next to Queen Zheng, felt a little aggrieved.

She had not understood much of the confrontation between the few people just now, and could not get a word in.

Seeing so many people talking to Yan Yu, it seems that they must like to see Yan Yu.

As soon as she arrived, she was left out in the cold. No one paid any attention to her or cared about her.

These people are all looking down on others. They look down on the concubines and only flatter the main wife.

When she becomes the queen in the future, she will see how to teach these people a lesson.

Wei Ruxuan secretly glanced at King Qin again and didn't believe her eyes anymore.

Although this man looked cold, he actually allowed Yan Yu to sit next to him.

Didn't he not let women get close to him?

Yan Yu had to go back home today, so he sat in Shoukang Palace for a while and then took his leave.

She is usually quiet, but today she spoke more than she had in the past half month.

Socializing with these people in the palace is much more tiring than talking to other people at home.

Xiao Chengji was walking in front, and Yan Yu walked over to him in small steps: "Your Highness, wait for me. I'm going to the Duke's Mansion soon, do you want to come over?"

He was tall and had long legs, and he always walked and did things skillfully, but Yan Yu was like a willow tree blown by the wind, and he became breathless after walking two steps.

Xiao Chengji suddenly stopped.

Yan Yu bumped his head into his back and rubbed his nose in pain.

Xiao Chengji slowed down: "I will accompany you."
