Yan Yu returned to the capital the next day. When she got home in the evening, she heard the steward telling her a lot of things.

When Yan Yu came back, Wei Ruxuan was also sent here.

She was injured so badly that the Fifth Prince felt very guilty towards her.

Wei Ruxuan felt upset. She couldn't believe that in such a dangerous situation, the Fifth Prince actually sent her away and let her bear it.

But the matter was done, Wei Ruxuan could only brainwash herself into saying that she did it willingly, and regard everything as her liking for the Fifth Prince, and because she liked the Fifth Prince, she was willing to help the Fifth Prince be punished.

Thinking of this, she gradually became numb, and her heart became much more balanced, and she no longer resented the Fifth Prince.

She was so badly injured that she definitely could not serve the Fifth Prince. The maids were very smart. They only whipped her body and not her face, so her face was still intact.

The Fifth Prince couldn't bear to see her lying sick in bed. Besides, the conditions in the temporary palace were not as good as those in the capital, so it would be more convenient for her to recuperate in the capital.

Wei Ruxuan felt upset. After returning to the Fifth Prince's Mansion, she cried all day long. After crying, she copied Buddhist scriptures for the Queen.

Queen Zheng also heard about her injury.

Now he was covered with wounds, all of which were covered with medicine, which had a strong smell of medicine. Of course, he could not go to serve Queen Zheng.

So Queen Zheng asked her to copy scriptures, saying that since she could not serve him, she should copy scriptures to show her filial piety.

With such a wicked mother-in-law above her, Wei Ruxuan copied while crying.

Queen Zheng was very satisfied with Wei Ruxuan.

Recently, Empress Dowager Zheng has been thinking about finding a marriage for the fifth prince.

That day, Zheng Can was so heartbroken by the Fifth Prince's words that he went back and reported the matter to the Queen Mother.

He said that the Fifth Prince had been led astray by the women around him and was not as obedient as before. Now the Fifth Prince was complacent about his status as a prince and was using it to put pressure on the Zheng family.

Queen Mother Zheng felt that Wei Ruxuan was indeed a nuisance, and had instigated the Fifth Prince to behave in an unreasonable manner, so she wanted to get rid of Wei Ruxuan and marry the Fifth Prince to a princess with a good family background.

Queen Zheng disagreed with this matter.

Wei Ruxuan was quite good in Queen Zheng's eyes. She felt that this child was honest and willing to listen to her.

Besides, the Wei family is of good status and can become the fifth prince's principal wife. If they want to find another principal wife, they might as well promote Wei.

Queen Zheng is now the queen and is no longer a daughter that Zheng Can can easily control. As the mother of a country, her words still carry weight.

Furthermore, if she jumped out to disrupt the situation, given Empress Zheng's usual ability to stir up trouble, she would definitely make the situation a mess.

With Queen Zheng protecting Wei Ruxuan, it was difficult for Queen Mother Zheng to take action for a while.

Wei Ruxuan managed to save her life by some miracle. As the night went on, she continued to copy Buddhist scriptures while crying.

Yan Yu went back to the Shao family again and talked with his two sisters-in-law.

After Luo and Zhang came to the capital, they got used to everything. Without parents-in-law to serve, they actually had a much more peaceful life.

At first they were worried that Yan Yu would become estranged from them after marrying into the Prince of Qin's Mansion. After all, their statuses were very different. But after Yan Yu came a few times, he still treated them the same way as before marriage, so Luo and Zhang gradually felt relieved.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Luo made a new set of clothes for Yan Yu. The thing is very light, but the thought is important. Luo's Suzhou embroidery is better than that of the local embroiderers. Such craftsmanship is rare in the capital, and every stitch and thread is extremely delicate.

Luo Shi would not be able to give birth to a child in this lifetime, so she hoped that Yan Yu would give birth to a prince for the King of Qin as soon as possible. Having a biological child would make her position more stable.

Luo held Yan Yu's hand and muttered something. Yan Yu saw that Luo looked a little haggard and was worried that she had not been doing well recently, so he secretly asked about Zhang.

Zhang hesitated for a long time, because it was a family scandal, she was afraid that Yan Yu would be angry on New Year's Day, so she smiled and said, "It's nothing, sister-in-law is a little homesick. Yan'er, you and the prince must be well, be careful of the concubine at home getting pregnant, take good care of yourself, and give birth to a big fat boy for the prince as soon as possible."

Yan Yu looked at his flat belly.

She also wants a child. Having a child will indeed consolidate the royal family's position.

The key point is that Xiao Chengji seems a little annoyed with her and doesn't care much about this aspect. Now that Xiao Chengji is not in the capital, there is no chance.

Yan Yu begged and persuaded for a long time before he finally figured out what was going on.

Xiang Ge'er is Shao Junliang's eldest son. He is ambitious and loves to study. He is usually smart and clever, and is especially liked by his elders. His only shortcoming is that he was born to an aunt.

When Luo was pregnant, Xiang Ge'er's biological mother was worried that Luo would give birth to a boy and block Xiang Ge'er's future, so she plotted against Luo and made her unable to get pregnant from then on.

After Xiang Ge'er's biological mother was imprisoned in a Buddhist temple, he was raised by Luo and behaved very sensible and filial over the years.

Two days ago, Xiang Ge'er ate a bowl of fermented glutinous rice wine. The child got drunk even though he had never drunk alcohol before. After being drunk, he started talking nonsense and told Luo that she was not his biological mother. After he became successful, he would drive Luo out and let his biological mother come out of the Buddhist temple.

Xiang Ge'er was young and talked nonsense when he was drunk, so he was treated as a child and was brushed aside.

Luo Shi cannot give birth, so she has to endure it whether she wants to or not.

Yan Yu looked at Luo's lonely face through the window, and recalled that when she was a child, she felt sleepy while staying up all night to celebrate the New Year. Luo held her in his arms and applied some cooling ointment on her.

At that time, Luo had just married and was about the same age as Yan Yu is now. The smell of mint leaves seemed to have come after a long time. Luo was still a girl then, and now she is only in her twenties, but she gives people a lifeless feeling.

Yan Yu had no idea what he would become after ten years of being worn down by the high walls of the deep courtyard.

Shao Junliang and Shao Junshou returned home, and when they heard that Princess Qin had arrived, they hurried over to pay their respects.

Yan Yu asked Luo, Zhang and the maid of the Shao family to leave, and only kept his own maid, Ma Ma, behind. He told them that Zheng Shu had been transferred back and Bo Feng was going to take office as the governor of Zhenyu.

The official documents from the court had not yet come down, so Shao Junliang and Shao Junshou had no chance to know.

However, after Yan Yu said this, Shao Junliang reacted instantly: "Don't worry, your majesty, the Shao family has no dealings with the Zheng party. When the new minister arrives, the Shao family will obey his orders."

Yan Yu nodded, and then said: "Today I met Brother Xiang. Children are close to whoever they were raised by. This child doesn't seem to be able to adapt to life in the capital. He must be missing his biological mother. It would be better to send him to Lingcheng to be raised by his biological mother."

Shao Junliang said: "Your Majesty is considerate of my son and is indeed thoughtful. I will have someone send Brother Xiang back tomorrow morning."
