The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

There were many unfamiliar faces in Prince Zhan's mansion, and the only ones she could trust were Azhu and Jiang Shi.

The two maids left the palace angrily. Seeing that she was being wronged, Ah Zhu said indignantly, "Your Highness used to be so arrogant in Menghu Mountain, but now that you are in Daqian, you still have to endure the bullying of the two maids."

Hu Luanfei picked a flower for Minglang and said, "They are the people around the Queen Mother. As a junior, it's nothing to be angry with them occasionally. People are not in their own territory. If there is trouble, there may not be anyone to support me. It's better not to tear each other apart. Besides, the prince and the emperor are all evasive to the Queen Mother. As a princess, I can't be so presumptuous that I can be criticized."

Ah Zhu didn't understand the twists and turns in the palace, and could only nod as the wind blew past his ears: "I have learned my lesson. We are born inferior to others, and we have to bow down in front of power."

Hu Luanfei said softly, "Silly girl, you still have to be tough when you need to be tough. You can't let people jump over your head, right?"

Ah Zhu hurriedly took her hand and said, "As expected, a princess like this is still popular."

Hu Luanfei tapped Ah Zhu's head gently, feeling very happy, and said with a smile: "The weather is good today, how about we make some cool desserts for them to taste?"

Ah Zhu had heard Jiang Shi talk about Hu Luanfei's good qualities before, and had been thinking about it for a long time. He hurriedly said, "I want to help out and learn more."

Hu Luanfei couldn't hide his smile: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Today is sunny, the temperature is slightly higher, and there is a hint of heavy rain coming.

The palace was peaceful and everyone had a smile on their face, but it was different in the imperial palace.

What Qi Siliao heard most during his daily morning court sessions was various impeachments made by officials.

He didn't understand, since the military power had been handed over, what else could threaten Qi Sili in Daqian.

After retiring from court, he called Jiang Shi to inform Wen Ruyu to meet him at the palace.

Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, the nanny beside the empress dowager came to inform him to go to the Cining Palace.

In the Cining Palace, Qi Sili was waiting in the main hall ahead of him. The nanny said that the empress dowager was still worshiping Buddha, so asked them brothers to wait for a while.

They dared not speak nonsense and only talked about state affairs when they sat together.

In the afternoon sun, Qi Sili's handsome face showed a sickly paleness, without a trace of blood. His expressionless face, indifferent eyebrows, and long hair casually scattered on his shoulders. For a moment, he lost the domineering majesty of the emperor, and more often than not, he looked like a sickly young master from some family.

The nanny brought him a bowl of soup to clear the heart and relieve fire, saying that it was made by the empress dowager herself because of the hot weather.

There was a hint of resistance between Qi Sili's brows. He didn't want to drink, but he had to pick up the bowl in front of the nanny.

Just when he was about to drink the bowl of soup, Qi Si Liao held his hand and looked up at the nanny, "Isn't it possible that mother only made soup for my brother and didn't leave any for me?"

Qi Sili's hand trembled, and some of the soup spilled and dripped onto the back of Qi Siriao's hand.

The soup was boiling hot, so it must have just come out of the pot.

The nanny could hardly hide her embarrassment, "Your Highness is strong and healthy, he doesn't need to drink the Qingxin Xiehuo soup."

Qi Siliao became jealous and tried to snatch the bowl of soup from Qi Sili, but Qi Sili refused to give it to him.

During the argument, the soup bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and the boiling hot soup splashed on the two of them and the maid who was serving them. The maid screamed in panic and hurriedly asked someone to clean up the mess.

No matter how fast the palace servants were, they were not faster than the eyes of the two men.

The moment the soup hit the ground, a burst of white foam appeared. Although it quickly disappeared, it was still accurately captured by Qi Siliao.

At this moment, Qi Sili's heart felt like it was pierced by a sharp thorn, and the suffocating pain was hard to get rid of. The boundless indifference imprisoned him, making him unable to feel the love from others.

The Queen Mother came out of the Buddhist temple in a gentle voice, followed by a slender concubine with her head lowered. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Concubine Yu Guiji.

Her eyes were red from crying, and the moment she saw Qi Sili, she lost her usual arrogance. Instead, she hid timidly behind the empress dowager like a mouse seeing a cat.

The two brothers stood up and saluted. The Queen Mother raised her hand and said, "You don't have to be so formal when you are here with me."

Seeing the palace maids cleaning up the mess, the empress dowager glanced at Qi Sili and said, "The emperor has wasted my good intentions."

Qi Sili stood there dejectedly, his eyes empty and helpless, as if he was in a dark maze, not knowing how to move forward.

"It is my son's fault. I hope you will calm down."

Qi Si Liao said, "It's my fault, mother, please don't blame my brother."

"What have you done wrong?" The Queen Mother's tone was much more severe.

Qi Si Liao replied, "I also wanted to drink the Qingxin Xiehuo Soup that my mother personally cooked, but my mother only gave it to my brother. I was unhappy and started competing with my brother."

"You're still the same as when you were little, always fighting with Li'er for everything." She raised her hand to call the nanny over and said softly, "Give Prince Zhan a bowl too, so he won't try to get the emperor again."

Qi Siliao had never argued with Qi Sili. He had always yielded to him since he was a child. When his mother was alive, she gave him enough maternal love. Qi Sili, who was given great expectations, could not get maternal love, so he came to compete with him. He didn't like it, he hated it, but his mother told him that Qi Sili was his elder brother and might be the crown prince in the future, so he had to support him and love him...

However, in the end, this brother who was loved by his mother was always plotting against him.

The nanny brought two more bowls of soup. Qi Siliao pursed his lips and reached out to take them.

Qi Sili was irritated. He poured the two bowls of soup together and drank it all in a few gulps, regardless of whether it was boiling hot or not.

"Royal brother, you!" It was too late for Qi Siliao to stop him.

Qi Sili drank all the wine, raised his eyes slightly, and smiled arrogantly: "You are still a little naive to try to snatch food from me, humph!"

Everyone was shocked by Qi Sili's temper. The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly and pushed Yu Guiji out from behind her. "You are so grown up, but you are still fighting with your brother for food. If this gets out, people will laugh at you. Come on, help the Emperor to rest."

The light in Yu Guiji's eyes was diluted by fear. At this moment, she looked like a withered flower ravaged by wind and rain. One could feel from afar that she was about to wither.

"Cousin, I won't go..." She grabbed the empress dowager's sleeve and knelt down, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, looking pitiful.

The Queen Mother scolded her coldly, "As a concubine, it is only natural for you to serve the Emperor."

"My body hurts so much...I won't go..."

"This is what women have to endure. Once you get used to it, it won't hurt anymore."

The nanny came over and pulled Yu Guiji away and pushed her towards Qi Sili.

Seeing this, Qi Siliao subconsciously pulled Qi Sili away. No one caught Yu Guiji, and she fell to the ground. There was a slight "click" sound, and Yu Guiji held her right hand and cried.

"Cousin, my hand hurts..."

After experiencing Qi Sili's merciless treatment, Yu Guiji no longer had any expectations of power and status.

She was spoiled by her parents, and they loved her. They would never let her suffer any grievance, let alone ask her to do something she didn't like...

Unfortunately, she realized it too late.
