The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

If she wins, her status in Qi Sili's mind will be further elevated.

"Luan Fei, you are too good. I am having a tendency to lose control of you."

Qi Siliao had not yet let go of his worry, and suddenly stuffed the Empress Dowager's edict into Hu Luanfei's hands.

Hu Luanfei was speechless, and he spread out the imperial edicts and read them carefully. "This queen mother has a treacherous mind. The prince and I will rise and fall together. A husband and wife can support each other and overcome all difficulties. What are you still worried about?"

Qi Si Liao felt relieved when he heard this, and thought that he was worrying too much. "Yes, my wife is such a person, she will definitely be able to overcome the Queen Mother's various obstacles."

Hu Luanfei smiled and said, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I am not only very capable in business, but I am also not inferior to anyone in the palace fight."

Qi Si Liao smiled helplessly, "The Queen Mother has great power in the court, and even I have to retreat a little. You are good at everything except that you underestimate the enemy."

Hu Luanfei looked at him with a smile, feeling even more proud. She hummed a little tune in a good mood and poured him a cup of tea. "As long as the prince trusts me forever, I will be able to turn rain into clouds with my hands."

She had gone through so many ups and downs along the way. Her abilities, her little temper, her little filthiness, no one in the entire Daqian or even Beiqiu could compare to her. How could he not trust her?

He even felt that believing in Hu Luanfei could bring him eternal life.

Wen Ruyu had been left alone for a long time, watching the show for a long time. He was too embarrassed to speak up to interrupt, but if he didn't speak up, the next trend would become more and more outrageous, "Princess..."

"Oh my god!" Hu Luanfei almost choked on his saliva, "I forgot that Lord Wen was still here."

Yes, it is.

Wen Ruyu was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, especially when he met Qi Siriao's ferocious eyes. He wished he could dig a hole and bury himself on the spot.

Hu Luanfei touched his burning ears and whispered, "Master Wen, you heard my conversation with the prince just now. If you want to report me, turn left and go to the palace."

Wen Ruyu smiled but her eyes did not reach the bottom of her eyes. "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I am loyal to Daqian, not to the Queen Mother."

Do you think he is stupid? If he dared to go out and turn left to enter the palace, he would probably be beheaded as soon as he stretched out his left foot.

Hu Luanfei was also unambiguous, "Since Lord Wen has expressed his intentions, we are in the same boat. For the next plan, I want to find something to hold against the Queen Mother's family. Lord Wen, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." As someone who had experienced this, Wen Ruyu felt that if he didn't leave now, he might get beaten, so he quickly ended the conversation and left Prince Zhan's Mansion.

After returning home, Wen Ruyu still looked back anxiously.

"What are you looking at!"

Wen Ruyu was in a state of nervousness when someone suddenly asked loudly. He almost lost his courage. He turned around and saw that it was his wife. He was immediately angry: "You, why are you walking without making any sound? You scared me."

"How dare you say that? I've been calling you for a long time and you still don't seem to be able to come back to your senses." Madam Wen said, looking out as well. "Could it be that some vixen has bewitched your mind? Or have you done something bad?"

Wen Ruyu suddenly felt helpless, "Madam, you are overthinking. Just now when I went to see Princess Zhan, you didn't know the look in the prince's eyes. He wanted to tear my tendons and skin me alive. You said I am already old, why is he so hostile to me?"

Madam Wen rolled her eyes in disdain, "Stop flattering yourself. The prince thinks you're an eyesore..."

At this point, Madam Wen realized belatedly, "The princess has returned to Daqian?"

"I guess all my words were in vain."

"I'll go ask her if Jiang Ling treats Ruoxue well..."

"Come back!" Wen Ruyu hurriedly pulled her sleeve, "The sun is shining sideways, the couple is being so affectionate, are you going there to kill yourself?"

Mrs. Wen: "So you are not stupid."

……

The next morning, Qi Sili urgently summoned Hu Luanfei to the palace. She hurried over and saw Wen Ruyu, Qi Siliao and other ministers already waiting in the court. She knew that they must be asking about what happened yesterday.

Wasn’t Qi Sili imprisoned? How could he still sit in the court and hold a meeting with ministers?

Qi Sili probably hadn't slept well recently, and his eyes were dark and blue, but he looked in good spirits. He greeted her as usual, and she told him everything.

Suddenly, the eunuch outside the palace was heard singing: "The Queen Mother has arrived——"

Qi Sili hurriedly led everyone to greet them, and saw the empress dowager walked in with a graceful look, holding the hand of the nanny, followed by several concubines. One of the concubines looked resentful when she saw her.

Hu Luanfei was confused and had no idea what was going on.

When she looked at the concubine, she thought she was meeting an enemy, as if the other party wanted to bite her teeth and tear her apart.

But she seldom stayed in Daqian, so she didn't know who this person was. But it was too arrogant, right? In front of Qi Sili and Qi Siliao, the concubine actually pushed her, which was extremely arrogant.

Qi Sili and Qi Siliao both looked unhappy, only the empress dowager looked normal.

"Who is she and why is she so hostile to me?" Hu Luanfei asked Qi Siriao quietly.

Qi Si Liao also whispered, "That is the emperor's newly appointed concubine, the empress dowager's cousin Yuling."

Hu Luanfei said, "She made advances towards me when we first met. How did I provoke her?"

Qi Siliao gently pinched her waist, and said with a hint of jealousy, "Perhaps it's because Qi Sili is obsessed with you that everyone in the harem is dissatisfied."

"Pah. I think she's your bad luck."

Qi Siliao: ...

Everyone knew that Yu Guiji was the Queen Mother's cousin, and that she had been unruly and willful since childhood, so they were not surprised by her rude behavior towards the princess just now.

Previously, some officials accidentally offended Yu Guiji and were demoted. Apart from this, no concubine in the harem with a higher rank than Yu Guiji dared to express dissatisfaction. Once Yu Guiji heard any rumors of dissatisfaction, she would make a scene and the Queen Mother would immediately punish the concubines in the harem.

Although Yu Guiji was not favored by the emperor, she was still the most powerful person in the harem.

Hu Luanfei suspected that the reason Qi Sili regained his freedom was because he married Yu Guiji.

The Queen Mother hurriedly had someone serve a cup of honey and red date tea to Hu Luanfei, and then said, "Princess Zhan, please don't be offended. Yuling is still young, and as her aunt, you should be magnanimous."

Hu Luanfei nodded and said openly: "Ling'er is innocent, I like her very much."

"I am very pleased that you have such an idea." The Queen Mother added, "The Emperor must also speed up. Prince Zhan and Princess Zhan already have a son. You have three thousand beauties in your harem, so you cannot fall behind him."

After saying that, he glanced at Qi Sili.

Qi Sili's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said to the Queen Mother: "I am busy with state affairs and cannot spare my time for now..."

The Queen Mother said, "Raising children is also a matter of state. Look at the ministers in the court. Who doesn't have a child running around? You should go to the harem more often when you have time, so that the concubines won't feel resentful."

Hu Luanfei pursed his lips silently, feeling a little sorry for Qi Sili. Matters such as married life and offspring are rarely discussed openly, not to mention that he is the king of a country. Being urged to give birth by his own mother in public, people who know about it would think that his mother is eager to have a grandchild, while those who don't would think that Qi Sili is infertile.
