Yan Yu was sitting by the window again, teasing the starling. The starling tilted its head and called out "Princess" and "Princess". After watching it for a long time, he felt that this little guy was quite cute.

Huo Wang knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say a word. He could see that the princess was teasing the starling on the surface, but her mind was not on it.

The princess was not very old and had an extremely gentle and stunning appearance, but there was no emotion in her beautiful eyes when they swept over her. They were like ice in the cold winter, so cold that people dared not look directly at them, but her words and actions were extremely gentle and soothing.

Huo Wang has been in and out of the palace for so many years and has seen a lot of people and things.

He knew that at the beginning his godfather Huoha wanted to suppress the princess. After all, Huoha had accumulated great power over the years. But in the end, he failed to suppress her. Huoha tucked his tail between his legs again. When he saw the princess, he nodded and bowed. He also brought his godson to wait for his orders.

Sometimes the boss is too kind and lenient, and the subordinates not only do not feel grateful, but also take advantage of him to gain more benefits.

If they were pampered a little bit, these servants would serve them well and treat them as a cash cow.

If she is pampered too much, there will be more people who are jealous of her, and one day she will inevitably die in the palace because of her overly tolerant character.

If there is no favor, then you will be exploited by the slaves.

The princess at the moment is probably a person with a very good personality, but the servants in the palace dare not be too perfunctory when facing this new master.

The main reason was that the princess looked too cold, and it was impossible to guess what she was thinking. She had obviously not done anything, but she was like a cloud hanging heavy on everyone's head.

The people below are all easy to bully and afraid of the strong. What if this person doesn't show his strength and does nothing at the moment, and then takes ruthless action when the time comes?

Some of the stupid ones thought that the princess was too young to be in charge, and continued to jump around like before. The smart ones kept their heads down these days, wanting to wait for the princess to show off her skills before deciding whether to continue being arrogant or keep a low profile.

Yan Yu didn't like to talk in front of them and rarely even smiled, which put a lot of pressure on them.

After a while, Yan Yu slowly spoke: "Is the funeral already being held?"

Huo Wang said quickly: "General Ma has returned. He wants to bury his daughter in the Ma family's ancestral tomb, but the relatives of the Ma family are against it, saying that a dirty girl cannot enter the ancestral tomb... Now the two sides are arguing endlessly, and relatives and friends have not come to pay their respects, only to quarrel. In the past, only some generals who had a good relationship with General Ma came to pay their respects, and these people were not in a good mood."

Rumors are more ferocious than tigers. The rumor that spread from the Queen's Palace was that Miss Ma took the initiative to seduced the Seventh Prince and was fickle and unrestrained. Eighty to ninety percent of people believed this rumor.

At this critical moment, who would dare to go to offer condolences? Aren't they afraid of tarnishing their reputation? If I had known earlier, almost every household would have a daughter to marry!

Yan Yu nodded: "Ningxia, open the warehouse and prepare a generous gift."

After hearing this, Ningxia went there quickly.

General Weiyuan's mansion was indeed in chaos.

Mrs. Ma cried like a tearful person, an old person sending off a young person, and she wished she could die with her daughter.

It just so happened that at this time, the relatives of the Ma family in General Weiyuan's Mansion came out to make trouble, saying that a girl like Miss Ma could not enter the ancestral tomb. If she did, the entire Ma family would lose face.

Ma Gong has made outstanding contributions to the Wei Dynasty over the years.

The Ma family was not originally a noble family; they were just ordinary civilians in the capital.

In the past twenty years, Tajima Gong has grown from an unknown young general to a general of the second rank. Seeing that he is likely to be granted a title of nobility, his relatives swarmed around him like flies to ask for benefits and tried to curry favor with him in various ways.

When Miss Ma got into trouble this time, these people's faces changed instantly, and the intense jealousy hidden under the flattery was instantly revealed.

"If Yuying is buried in the ancestral tomb, what will the ancestors think? Won't they curse us to death?"

"Our daughter is getting married soon. It's unlucky to have such an ignorant cousin!"

"A disgraceful girl like this wants a grave? If she were my daughter, I would throw her in a mass grave!"

"If you dare to bury Yuying in the ancestral tomb, I will fight you to the death! So what if you are a general? Can a general do whatever he wants?"

"..."

Ma Gong is forty-three years old this year. In his opinion, he is still in the prime of youth and can still protect the people of the Wei Dynasty and repel the invasion of the Cang State. But at this moment, he seems to have aged ten years.

He had numerous scars on his body over the years, and if he took off his clothes, people could see the countless knife wounds and arrow holes from his shoulders to his back to his thighs.

He still remembers the scene many years ago. He fought bravely in the battle that year and thought he would never see his second child. The arrow shot into his chest and could have hit his heart if it had been a little off. General Wen rescued him from the battlefield.

They won the battle, and Ma Gong was promoted to lieutenant general for his outstanding military achievements, and became famous overnight.

His wife was six months pregnant before he left. When he came back, his daughter was already learning to walk. That was also the first time he saw his daughter.

Ma Gong thought that he would be able to watch his daughter grow up and marry her off in grand style. He thought that he might hate his future son-in-law because Ma Gong hated pedantic scholars, but his daughter had to marry a scholar.

But I never expected that in the end, I wouldn't even be able to bury my daughter in a grand ceremony.

In fact, he didn't understand what achievements he had made and what career he had established over the years.

Hatred spreads like wildfire and grows like weeds, densely packed in every corner.

Yan Yu came in from outside holding Ruidong's hand. She was dressed in white mourning. The snow-white pearl flowers on her head were blown up by the wind, and a corner of her cloak was rolled up, making her look particularly thin in the night.

In a trance, Ma Gong felt that his daughter had appeared and returned.

A moment later, he heard someone say, "The Princess Qin is here."

Yan Yu gestured for everyone to step back.

Ma Gong knelt on the ground with a thud, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant: "Miss Wen."

"Yuying, I, the Wen family, and the Ma family have all suffered great humiliation." Yan Yu said calmly, "Ma Gong, you are a minister, and it is a great fault to hold a grudge against your master. If you want to live well, put away all your hatred."

Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God.

Ma Gong smiled bitterly: "Princess, do you think I still want to live? Even if it costs me my life, I will get rid of this evil."

Yan Yu looked at him with pity: "The young lady is five months pregnant, and the young master is only 23 years old this year. Do you want them to die with you? Or do you really think that your small general's mansion can do anything earth-shattering?"

Ma Gong was stunned by the barrage of accusations.

Yan Yu pointed to the sky, then to him: "How do you want to fight? How can you fight? Do you want to exchange the reputation you fought for with your life and death for the reputation of a traitor that everyone despises? Do you want people to know that if anyone displeases the Wei Dynasty generals, the Wei Dynasty generals will be disloyal and rebellious? There are so many talented people in the vast royal land, and so many people are eager for fame and fortune, but the court must use you alone?"

Ma Gong burst into tears: "Miss Wen, I..."

Yan Yu said coldly, "The people my father and brother brought up are brave and intelligent warriors, not reckless men. Think carefully about whether they have messed up the overall situation because of their momentary impulsiveness. "

Ma Gong took a deep breath, his eyes quickly regained clarity, he kowtowed three times to Yan Yu, and then stood up.
