Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Yu Zhen finally understood what she was worried about today. She thought Xu Jiaqi walked away unharmed. He let her go from his arms with a dark smile. When he walked away, her face was immediately filled with disappointment.

He walked over to his desk, knowing she was watching his every move. He picked up a rolled-up piece of parchment and approached her again. He tilted the scroll in her direction.

Li Xueyue looked down at the thing. She was curious about what it was. She took the scroll from him and unwrapped it. Immediately, she saw the seal of the royal family. She quickly glanced at the contents. Not long after, her head suddenly looked up.

"Is this a punishment for her or for me?" she said.

"For her," he smiled.

Li Xueyue shook her head. "No, I don't want her to be my maid."

Yu Zhen reached out and took her fingers. "Think about this proposal carefully," he said.

Li Xueyue knew that her anger was redundant. She was ungrateful for his gift. She knew the benefits of letting Xu Jiaqi be a maid. It would put the woman in her position.

Xu Juqi was commanded like a servant. Xu Jiaqi had to do whatever Li Xueyue wanted.

"You want me to be suffocated in the morning, poisoned in the afternoon, killed in my sleep?" she said.

Yu Zhen raised an eyebrow. He had never seen her so dramatic before.

"Xu Jiaqi is of noble birth, and serving you and making her obey your will will tarnish her reputation beyond repair," she said.

Li Xueyue's fingers clenched on the parchment. "This will do more harm than good."

"This morning, Lu Tianbi told me some interesting things before she went to meet her suitor," he said.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Xu Jiaqi is one of the more well-known women vying for my attention."

"You still keep her." Li Xueyue gritted her teeth and dodged.

Li Xueyue didn't want to get close to him. She knew he would try to kiss and caress her to get her to agree.

“You want me to use her as an example,” she said. “To other women who compete with you.”

Li Xueyue understood where this conversation was going. At this moment, all eyes were on her and Xu Jiaqi. She hadn't realized it earlier. People in the palace must be curious about where this relationship would go.

She ignored his smile—proud and bright.

"Xueyue, you are wise beyond your age. You will know what to do." Yuzhen said.

Li Xueyue sighed with her nose. Was this her first time entering the palace to accept a challenge? For example, finding the biggest fish, disemboweling it, and hanging it up? If she could turn the crazy Xu Jiaqi into a chess piece, it would definitely scare away other competitors. However, she hadn't met them yet.

Li Xueyue looked intently at Yu Zhen's reassuring smile. He was willing to give her a way out. But that meant she gave up before she even started. To be honest, Xu Jiaqi looked like a decent woman. She was just a little delusional and a little shameless - that was all.

Would that woman be crazy enough to kill the Crown Princess?

Li Xueyue had to find the answer. "What about Yan Xi?"

"Yan Xi will stay with you, and Xu Jiaqi will obey her orders." Yu Zhen said.

Li Xueyue looked at the scroll again. A few seconds passed in silence. "Okay, I'll let Xu Jiaqi serve me."

- - - - -

Li Xueyue knew that Yu Zhen was looking out for her. He always had been. This could explain his decision. She tamed Xu Jiaqi while warning other women to stay away. This was killing two birds with one stone.

Li Xueyue would not be surprised if someone targeted her current position. She is a princess from a foreign country. Until recently, Wuyi was considered an enemy country. Of course, there will be many women who believe that it is easy to replace her.

"Are you hungry?" Yu Zhen asked, distracting her.

Li Xueyue was about to deny it when her stomach started growling. "It seems, it seems like that."

Yu Zhen smiled warmly. "Then it's time for our lunch."

He walked up to her and took the scroll from her. He shook his head in amusement. The parchment was wrinkled from her tight grip. He would have to rewrite it and then give it to Lu Tianbi.

“Can we eat near the garden?” Li Xueyue asked. “I think I see a pond with a pavilion in the middle.”

Yu Zhen still remembers that place very clearly. He often visits here because it brings him peaceful quietness.

"If this is your wish, then make it happen." Yu Zhen said. He walked back to the desk, put down the scroll, and returned to her side.

"Is there anything in particular you'd like to eat?" "What's wrong?" he asked, placing his hand on her back and guiding her out the door.

As soon as the door opened, the eunuchs outside immediately bowed along with the guards.

"Hmm..." She trailed off, thinking about which dish would be most appealing to her. But then she was distracted by something. An older man dressed in white and blue was striding towards them.

Li Xueyue recognized him. He was similar to Wu Xiang in every aspect. This must be the principal.

"President Wu." Yu Zhen said coldly.

The principal bowed his head. He seemed a little out of breath from walking so fast here. He was rarely in a hurry, but the palace was a little far from here and time was tight.

"Your Highness," he said, looking up. He turned to the quiet woman beside the prince. "Princess," he greeted.

"What is it?" Yu Zhen asked.

Li Xueyue discovered that the prime minister and his son were not alike at all. Wu Xiang was full of smiles and loved to joke, while Wu Xiang was stern and ruthless.

There were wrinkles on his forehead, but despite his age, there were no wrinkles on his face except near his eyes. The Prime Minister seemed to smile very rarely.

Principal Wu said: "I apologize for the short notice, but your highness, we have an urgent matter that we must discuss."

Yu Zhen didn't want to separate from Xueyue so soon. Especially after they had just reconciled. But if the Prime Minister came here in person, it must be an important issue.

"It doesn't matter." Li Xueyue said. "Go."

Yu Zhen pursed his lips. He reluctantly put down his hand and turned to the nearest eunuch.

"Take my princess to the pavilion and prepare her lunch," he ordered.

The eunuch nodded immediately. The crown prince’s request, he would definitely carry it out seriously. The crown prince is a person who pursues perfection. If the expectations are not met, the consequences will be terrible.

"Princess, please follow me." The eunuch said with his head down.

Li Xueyue agreed and walked him down the corridor. The servants she left outside the door also began to follow her, including Yan Xi.

She looked back curiously, wondering what the pressing issue was that she could not fathom.

Li Xueyue could only see Yu Zhen’s shoulders but not his face. But the Prime Minister’s face was exposed. These people kept secrets from each other in private. And judging from the Speaker’s unhappy expression, this was not good news either.
