After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Yan Yuzhen didn't expect that Empress Dowager Zheng would talk to her about court matters so early in the morning.

This is really hard for her to answer.

To refuse Queen Mother Zheng in person would be considered disobedience.

If I agreed to Queen Mother Zheng, it would mean telling her that a woman like me was going to interfere in government affairs!

Queen Mother Zheng deliberately created difficulties here, and Yan Yu sighed in his heart.

It would be nice if I could die. I really want to die here, so that I don’t have to serve this cunning and weird old lady with a smiling face before dawn.

She couldn't die unless she wanted the Shao family to die with her.

Yan Yu could only play dumb and say that he didn't understand: "Madam, who is Bo Feng? What is the position of a governor? Is he a general?"

Queen Mother Zheng looked at Yan Yu: "You don't know?"

Of course I don’t know. Yan Yu is famous for not knowing anything.

She shook her head: "I don't know."

"Bo Feng is Xiao Chengji's uncle. The governor is a second-rank official, and he has been given the title of Minister of War, which makes him a first-rank official." Queen Mother Zheng said, "Go back and tell the King of Qin that he can't appoint people based on personal connections."

Yan Yu must be crazy to say this to Xiao Chengji.

Xiao Chengji just chopped her to pieces!

Yan Yu looked puzzled: "Empress Dowager, I don't understand anything and I'm afraid I've conveyed the wrong message."

Queen Mother Zheng hated stupid people the most. She originally thought Yan Yu was smart, but now seeing that she didn't even know this, she suddenly felt annoyed.

But in a flash, she felt that this little devil was deliberately deceiving her.

Queen Mother Zheng smiled and said, "Just say what you said, don't change anything."

Yan Yu said: "Your Highness, His Highness is not in the capital now. When he comes, I will talk about this matter again if I still remember it."

Queen Mother Zheng was a little unhappy with her interruption and couldn't think of what to say for a moment.

Unable to control Yan Yu, Empress Dowager Zheng set her eyes on the maids who followed Yan Yu.

When Yan Yu entered the palace, he often brought Ningxia and Ruidong with him. Sometimes he left Ruidong at home and let Bichun follow him, and then there was Nanny Deng.

The four girls, Bichun, Ningxia, Jinqiu and Ruidong, grew up with Yan Yu. Among them, Ningxia was the smartest and could often understand what she meant with just one look. Yan Yu usually spent the most time with Ningxia.

The four of them were Yan Yu's dowry, and Yan Yu trusted them the most.

After returning, the palace unexpectedly transferred four eunuchs and palace maids. Zhao Ma, who served Queen Mother Zheng, brought them in and said, "The Queen Mother said that the Princess of Qin is a new bride who just married into the palace. The New Year is coming soon, and the palace must be very busy. The Queen Mother will reward you with a few people. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask these people to help you."

Now that the person has come to my house, I can’t refuse him even if I want to.

Yan Yu would definitely not let the four of them enter the inner courtyard, so he asked them to serve in the outer courtyard and asked Jin Qiu to keep a close eye on them to see if they did anything bad all day.

Princess Xianyi couldn't help but shake her head after hearing this: "You can't kill them, and you can't use them either. Be careful, the people she sends are probably poisonous snakes."

Yan Yu leaned on the pillow sickly.

Viper?

If these guys really dare to spit out their snake tongues in front of me, then I'll let them see what real poison is.

Yan Yu knew from childhood that the term "honest man in a big house" was a derogatory term.

Honest men will be taken advantage of, and honest women will have endless tears to shed.

If others don't oppose her, she won't take the initiative to provoke them. If others dare to show their teeth to her, she can only try to pull out their teeth.

While the two were talking, a servant came to report that Miss Liang San had come again.

Princess Xianyi frowned.

This girl is so shameless. She will harass me every day if I don't take her to social events or find a good husband for her.

Liang Qingxue saw Yan Yu here again, so she drank tea quietly beside him.

There are many social engagements during the Chinese New Year, and Liang Qingxue was afraid that Princess Xianyi would take Yan Yu to visit relatives and not take herself out.

Princess Xianyi can go to places that other elders of the Liang family cannot go.

Yan Yu saw that Miss Liang San didn't like her very much, so she didn't want to take the initiative to talk to her.

Princess Xianyi was afraid of making the crowd feel awkward, so she smiled and said, "This longevity lock on you is really exquisite. When did you make it?"

Yan Yu took off the longevity lock from his neck and said: "The Queen Mother gave it to me the other day. I thought it was nice, so I put it on."

In fact, it was the Queen Mother who asked her to wear it, saying that it would weigh down her body. She had just come out of the palace before coming to Princess Xianyi.

Princess Xianyi looked at it carefully, and Liang Qingxue couldn't help but stretch her head to look.

This longevity lock weighs three or four taels and looks very heavy. It is a whole piece of Hetian jade matched with bright red gold. Things in the palace are different. Both the workmanship and style are much better than those outside.

Princess Xianyi smiled and said, "You'd better take it off when you leave the palace. I don't think it's appropriate. Empress Xiaohui loved to wear a longevity lock like this when she was alive. It was my brother who had someone make it for her."

Yan Yu was glad that Xiao Chengji was not in the capital these days, otherwise he would probably be scolded if he hung around him all day.

Yan Yu did not wear it back and asked Ningxia to keep it for the time being.

At this time, someone outside reported that the seventh prince had arrived.

Princess Xianyi frowned and said, "Qingxue, please go sit inside first."

She had not been in contact with the Seventh Prince for a long time, so she didn't know why he came. Yan Yu was the Seventh Prince's sister-in-law, so there was no need to be shy about it. Liang Qingxue was an unmarried girl, so it was best not to meet her.

Liang Qingxue lowered her head and played with the sachet hanging from her waist, neither moving nor speaking.

Princess Xianyi then asked the seventh prince to come over.

Xiao Qirui smiled and said, "Aunt, we just came back from the temporary palace. Father said he will hold a banquet in the palace tonight. You should also go and join us."

Princess Xianyi raised her eyes and asked: "Why did the emperor ask you to deliver a message?"

"I just happened to be passing by, so I didn't ask Eunuch Gu's people to come over. Aunt, this place is really nice, no wonder everyone praises you. I want Fang Xin to come over and learn the rules from you."

Princess Xianyi snorted and laughed: "What rules do I have? The Queen has the real rules. It would be better to learn from her."

As soon as Xiao Qirui came in, he noticed Yan Yu. He had never seen a woman as bright as the moon in his life. For a moment, he wondered if he had seen her wrongly. After taking a peek, Princess Xianyi smiled and said, "This is your third sister-in-law, Wen. Seventh brother, don't you greet your third sister-in-law?"

When Xiao Qirui heard that she was Xiao Chengji's woman, his mind instantly settled down and he dared not peek anymore. He quickly bowed to Yan Yu and said, "Greetings to my third sister-in-law."

Yan Yu stood up and returned the greeting.

Xiao Qirui didn't stay any longer. After exchanging a few more words of greeting, he left in a hurry.
