Although this dress is a style from a few years ago, the workmanship in the palace must be good, and it suits Yan Yu very well.

After all the makeup on her face was washed off, her skin looked slightly pale, but her eyebrows and eyes were gorgeous and delicate, her eyebrows were thin and long, and her eyes were watery. The crabapple red brocade dress with a Ruyi cloud pattern made Yan Yu look indescribably noble, and was even more eye-catching than the plain light purple she had just worn.

Queen Zheng's face darkened, and she was once again thankful that the Fifth Prince did not marry such a woman. If she had married the Fifth Prince, let alone keeping her sanity, she might not even remember her as his mother.

Beauty is the most dangerous and harmful thing in the world. Take Concubine Bo for example. She always brings disaster to the people and confuses men's minds. Otherwise, how could there be such a phrase as "beautiful women are a disaster"?

Also entering the palace today was General Weiyuan’s wife, and her daughter, Miss Ma, was also specially invited into the palace.

However, it was obvious that General Weiyuan's wife and Miss Ma were not particularly comfortable, and neither of them dared to laugh or speak.

Queen Mother Zheng was as amiable as ever, and she even called Miss Ma to her side to talk.

Yan Yu was not surprised by this kind of scene. When he met the empress dowager for the first time, she was also so affectionate and asked him to come forward.

Queen Mother Zheng did not look like the most powerful woman in the entire Wei Dynasty. When she smiled, she looked like a kind old lady next door.

Yan Yu secretly thought that perhaps Empress Zheng would still be serious even when she was old, and the way she sat at the head of the table would make her more like the almighty empress dowager that everyone imagined.

Miss Ma did not want to marry the Fifth Prince as his principal wife. She had been treated as the apple of her family's eye since she was young and had a somewhat eccentric personality. Places like the palace and the prince's mansion were not suitable for her, so she hurriedly arranged a marriage with her cousin.

At first Miss Ma thought that the Queen Mother must be resentful of her, but after listening to the Queen Mother's soft and hoarse voice and looking at her kind and gentle face, Miss Ma instantly felt ashamed and realized that she had judged others by her own standards.

Mrs. Ma was relieved to see the Queen Mother like this.

These days she was really afraid that the Zheng family would suddenly retaliate.

General Ma and Master Ma were of upright character. They just didn't believe that if they didn't want their daughter to marry into the royal family and arranged another marriage for her after fighting for the country for so many years, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager would chop off their entire family's heads.

General Ma was promoted by the Duke of Zhenguo in the past and has always been grateful to him.

The Fifth Prince had an affair with his brother's fiancée and canceled the marriage proposal from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. General Ma was disgusted by this unkind and unjust act.

In addition, if a prince goes to a brothel to play with prostitutes, there is no telling whether he will be infected with any dirty diseases. General Ma values ​​his daughter dearly and would never let her marry such a person.

Young Master Ma thought more. He wanted to surrender to King Qin at this time to let the Zheng family know his thoughts.

Queen Mother Zheng took Miss Ma's hand and said, "Since Fangyao got married, I haven't had any young girls around me. You look similar to Fangyao and have similar personalities. I really like you. Why don't you just stay here today and stay with me in Shoukang Palace for a few days."

Yan Yu's heart skipped a beat and he instantly realized that something was wrong.

Madam Ma was sitting not far across from Yan Yu. Yan Yu held up a cup of tea to cover the lower half of his face and looked at Madam Ma.

Madam Ma noticed Yan Yu's gaze.

Yan Yu pretended that he was blowing the tea and shook his head gently at her.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, there was only so much Yan Yu could do.

This is the palace, and there are two huge mountains pressing down on it. No matter how bold Yan Yu is, she can't ignore the Qin Palace and the King of Qin. She gave the hint, and it depends on what Madam Ma will do.

Madam Ma guessed that the Princess of Qin did not want her daughter to stay, but she was not familiar with the Princess of Qin and did not know whether she was a good person or a bad person. She hesitated for a long time and did not speak.

Mrs. Ma felt that the Queen Mother was not as scary as the rumors said, and was indeed a kind and amiable old lady.

The Zheng family is under pressure, and rather than becoming enemies in the future, Mrs. Ma hopes to turn hostility into friendship.

She originally thought that the Ma family had done nothing wrong, and the Fifth Prince had not arranged a marriage with her daughter. Last time, the Queen Mother only allowed her daughter to meet him once, and did not hint that she would marry the Fifth Prince. So she still did not allow her daughter to be engaged to someone else? The Queen Mother had to be reasonable, right?

Before, Concubine Wei, who had been engaged to the King of Qin, was able to remarry the Fifth Prince. So someone like me, who wasn't engaged and didn't even have a verbal agreement, can't make the decision?

Looking at the Queen Mother's attitude towards her daughter, she felt that she must have thought it through.

Miss Ma had been worrying about her family's offense against the Zheng family these days. Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't take the past events to heart at all, she breathed a sigh of relief and told the Queen Mother a lot of new things happening outside, which made the Queen Mother laugh. The atmosphere in Shoukang Palace instantly became harmonious.

Speaking of which, Miss Ma is indeed a likable girl, lively and cheerful. Mrs. Ma should be very happy to see that her daughter is not at all shy in front of the nobleman.

If the Fifth Prince had a better reputation and hadn't done such disgusting things, she would definitely be willing to marry her daughter to him.

Later in the evening, when everyone was about to leave the palace, Yan Yu walked to Princess Xianyi's side and went back with her.

Seeing that Yan Yu was splashed with sugar dew by the palace maid today, Concubine Luo wanted to take this opportunity to say a few sarcastic words, but when she saw Yan Yu and Princess Xianyi together, the idea was instantly dispelled.

Princess Xianyi is not a good person, and Concubine Luo doesn't want to offend her for nothing.

Wei Ruxuan, who was standing behind, felt a little jealous when she saw Princess Xianyi holding Yan Yu's hand affectionately and caringly.

After marrying the Fifth Prince, the only elder who was willing to look at Wei Ruxuan in a good light was the Queen. Almost none of the other princesses, duchesses, and other princesses in the royal family were willing to actively interact with Wei Ruxuan.

Wei Ruxuan felt more and more uncomfortable seeing Yan Yu becoming such a close friend of Princess Xianyi so quickly. She couldn't help thinking that if it was her who married the King of Qin, she might also be the one that Princess Xianyi welcomed with a smile.

Princess Xianyi was going to hold an osmanthus banquet at her mansion and make various osmanthus desserts for the guests. She invited some girls from the Liang family and ladies with whom she had a good relationship. She talked to Yan Yu and asked him if he had time to come over.

The Prince of Qin's Mansion was closer to the palace, so the carriage could go there on the way. Princess Xianyi said this and asked Yan Yu to get on her carriage.

Yan Yu naturally had time to spare, so he accepted the invitation.

Then, Yan Yu asked again: "Aunt, will Miss Ma have any problems in front of the Queen Mother?"

Princess Xianyi's smile gradually faded: "Yan'er, you are a smart child. Listen to your aunt. No matter what happens in the next two years, don't conflict with the Queen Mother. You must pretend that you don't know what I see. Everyone has their own destiny."
