The useless second daughter of the Hua family

The powerful prime minister fell from power, and the officials headed by him were in a state of panic, carefully trying to figure out the emperor's intentions, but...

Miao Yizu was dancing with a spear in the yard, complaining in dissatisfaction.

"That guy is so shameless. It's fine that he took advantage of me while I was unconscious, but who is he doing this for?"

Miao Yizhu's poison had been cured. When she woke up, she found that the world was full of rumors about her touching love with the emperor. In a rage, she returned to the general's mansion. The emperor came to the door many times but was turned away. He didn't get angry, but just stood outside the door stupidly, playing a trick of public opinion pressure.

Hua Miaomiao was lying on the wall, eating melon seeds and admiring the emperor being greeted by the common people outside. Hearing this, she turned around curiously and asked, "Did he take advantage of you?"

"He..." Miao Yizhui would not bring it up on her own initiative. It was so embarrassing that she opened her eyes and saw herself in the emperor's arms, and was so scared that she fell off the bed.

"To be honest, the emperor treats you very well." She has seen it all these days. For an emperor to do this, he is already a romantic man.

Miao Yizhu stuck his spear into the ground, pointed at Hua Miaomiao and said, "Which side are you from? It makes me angry just talking about it. You are my cousin, how can you just leave me there?"

Hua Miaomiao slid back down the ladder and walked to Miao Yizhuo to help her smooth her fur.

"I would like to take you away, but the emperor looks like he wants to eat people. I really don't dare."

"Humph! Then you have the guts to deceive the Regent."

This was the second shock Miao Yizhu received after waking up. Putting aside the facts, the regent's analysis was indeed very convincing. But the fact is that whenever Hua Miaomiao and Miao Yizhu stand together, just looking at the similarities between their eyebrows, no one would doubt that they are not related by blood.

The regent was now simply overwhelmed by the surprise of regaining what he had lost. To protect Hua Miaomiao, neither the emperor nor Princess Linglan pointed out the truth. I really don't know how the truth will end when it is revealed.

Miao Yizhui was so anxious that his face was shattered, but he saw Hua Miaomiao staring at the sky in a daze.

"It's raining."

"If it rains, go inside. How can you get wet in such a big general's mansion?"

"Oh. So you don't care about the emperor?"

"With so many followers following him, he won't get wet."

"But I don't think he will take shelter from the rain. What a great opportunity to use the self-torture tactic. This time the people will be more on his side."

"..."

"Will you be the first person forced to enter the palace by the common people?"

Miao Yizhu felt a headache when she thought about how she was pointed at and criticized when she went out these days. Some elders would even give her some great advice. She must not let that person succeed in his evil plan!

"You, go back to the house! I'll chase him away!"

"Oh."

Hua Miaomiao watched her leave with a smile. To be honest, she didn't think Miao Yizhu could drive him away.

Sure enough, just as Hua Miaomiao ordered someone to bring hot tea, Miao Yizhuo walked in angrily with the emperor.

Seeing the obvious mockery on Hua Miaomiao's face, Miao Yizhu became even angrier. She slammed her palm on the table, and the teapot beside Hua Miaomiao shattered.

Hua Miaomiao and the emperor were both shocked. Judging from his temper, he was very angry.

"You may be angry, but don't take it out on others. This is something I got from the Prince Regent's Palace. I heard it's quite expensive."

Seeing her stingy look, Miao Yizhui felt both angry and amused, and could only look at her unhappily.

"Go back to your room first. I have something to say to His Majesty."

"Oh."

As if realizing that his tone was too harsh, Miao Yizhu added, "I'll have someone send you some of your favorite cakes."

"it is good."

The emperor looked at them with envy.

"You two have such a great relationship."

"Isn't this how it should be?"

Miao Yizhu said it as a matter of course, but as soon as she finished speaking, she was stunned. She remembered that the previous emperor had few children, and since Xiao Zheng pushed Xiao Ce to the throne, he had used thundering means to assign the other brothers and sisters to their respective fiefdoms, and they were not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial decree.

The only two peers in Beijing are Xiao Zheng and Ling Lan, but the age gap between them is too big, and their status is very different. In addition, Xiao Zheng and Ling Lan grew up together and have a deep relationship. In comparison, Xiao Ce's closeness is very obvious.

Miao Yizhui couldn't stand the loneliness emanating from the emperor, so she turned and walked to the door, looking at the rain outside.

"You mentioned in your letter before that the drizzle in the capital is very beautiful and rare. I can see this one before I leave, so my trip to the capital is not in vain."

The emperor lost his composure after hearing this. He walked a few steps to Miao Yizhui, grabbed her hand and questioned her.

"You want to leave? Where to?"

Miao Yizhui let him hold her without a trace of emotion on her face.

"I originally came here to escort Wu Sang. Now that the matter has been resolved, I should also set off to return. The soldiers at the border are still waiting for me."

"I can arrange for other people to take care of the border affairs. But you are the only one by my side. Do you really not want to stay for me?"

"I don't want to be suffocated by the numerous palace rules, nor do I want to endure the sadness and jealousy of watching you having sex with others. I can't do that, that's not me."

"No, I only have you, I can guarantee..."

"You can't guarantee it! Even if you don't want to, the courtiers will force you to do it, just like what happened with Wu Sang. As long as the regent says something, you can't change anything."

The emperor was speechless. Miao Yizhui was right. He was not strong enough at the moment. Facing strong pressure, he could only compromise again and again.

"If you insist on having me enter the palace, then as a subject, I dare not disobey the emperor's order. However, from the moment I step into the harem, there will no longer be you and me, only the emperor and his concubines."

"Xiao Ce, do you really want to see me become a resentful woman in the palace?"

Miao Yizhu's gentle words touched the emperor's deepest pain. He himself was still in the mud, why should he drag Miao Yizhu into it?

"You are right. I can't even control my own destiny, so how can I promise you anything? Yizhu, believe me and give me some time."

"I believe Your Majesty can do it."

"You'll wait for me, won't you?"

"I am willing to sacrifice my life for your majesty and defend the territory to the death, so that your majesty will have no worries."

The emperor looked at Miao Yizhui affectionately, and after a long time, he turned around and left reluctantly.

Hua Miaomiao felt a little confused, as if she was watching a variety show. The male lead was singing "Meeting at the Magpie Bridge", while the female lead was singing "Serve the Country with Loyalty".

"You did it on purpose. What you said is to force him to confront the Regent?"

"As the ruler of a country, how can he be controlled by others everywhere? Is this how he should be?"

"I now believe that you really don't like him."

"I like it."

"then you……"

"I like you, too, as well as Sister Xiaoyu and Princess Linglan."

Well, this guy is so bold that he even dares to play tricks on the emperor.

"Honestly, Xiao Ce has been communicating with you for so long, you really don't know his identity?"

"The things he sent were all for the emperor's use. It's okay once or twice, but after a long time, I can roughly guess how many people of the right age there are in this imperial city."

"So you looked like you were deceived before?"

"He was forced to take the throne when he was young, and has lived under the shadow of the regent ever since. Even though he is now fully grown, he is still unwilling to break this deadlock. If he is not forced, he will probably never take this step."

"I'm a little confused now. Do you have feelings for him or not?"

"Guess!" Miao Yizhui gave her a playful smile and turned back to the house.

Hua Miaomiao was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. This cunning woman couldn't possibly be her well-behaved and sensible cousin!
