The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion

"Your Highness has met Princess Thirteen."

Ruan Shuyan did not respond. After bowing respectfully, she had already thought about the situation of the Thirteenth Princess in her mind. This princess was born to the Queen. Because the sky was full of auspicious clouds when she was born, she was regarded as an auspicious birth. She was favored by the Emperor and had a very high status in the palace.

The princess favored him, but Xie Yuchun still married her...

Women are prone to turn from love to hate. Could it be that this was also the reason for the fate of the Xie family in the previous life?

But it doesn't matter. She has made up her mind to protect the people around her with all her strength in her new life. Even if it is a princess, no one can get past her to hurt Xie Yuchun, hurt the Xie family, and then implicate her.

Ruan Shuyan fixed her eyes, and then she heard Nalan Jinxiu say in a cold voice: "I am talking to you, and you dare to ignore me. You don't really think that he really loves you, do you? He is just the daughter of a lowly merchant."

Nalan Jinxiu spoke the last sentence very slowly.

Ruan Shuyan pursed her lips and chuckled: "Your Highness really loves to joke, and I am... Madam Xie."

Following Nalan Jinxiu's example, she also deliberately slowed down her voice. If the former was a deliberate humiliation, the three words "Madam Xie" were directly heart-piercing.

Nalan Jinxiu's breathing suddenly became rapid: "You, you lowly ..."

She raised her hand to slap Ruan Shuyan, but at this moment, a voice was heard.

"Your servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Ruan Shuyan glanced outside the greenhouse and instantly recognized the person as Su Sheng, the emperor's most trusted eunuch.

The next moment, she slightly turned sideways and tilted her head back to avoid Nalan Jinxiu's slap.

Perhaps because he used too much force, after Nalan Jinxiu's slap missed, he took a few steps forward and almost fell to the ground.

It all happened so quickly that even Su Sheng didn't react when it was over. He just saw the person was about to fall and hurried forward to help him up.

"Princess, are you okay?"

Nalan Jinxiu's eyes were filled with anger. She wanted to slap Su Sheng's hand away, but just as she raised her hand, she stopped again.

"This princess is fine."

As she said this, she glared at Ruan Shuyan fiercely: "How dare you hide from this princess's slap? Who allowed you to hide?"

Ruan Shuyan pretended to be surprised, avoided the evasive remarks, and asked helplessly: "I don't know what I have done wrong to make Her Highness the Princess attack me?"

Nalan Jinxiu raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of disdain: "You are a lowly merchant girl, you don't know respect and inferiority, you don't know the rules, isn't it reasonable for me to take action?"

A lowly merchant woman?

Ruan Shuyan's eyes narrowed, and her clasped hands turned slightly white due to the force. She was about to speak when Su Sheng spoke first: "Thank you, Madam. The Emperor wants to see you."

Su Sheng wanted to change the subject, but his words "Thank you, Madam" made Nalan Jinxiu explode before Ruan Shuyan could speak.

"What kind of Madam Xie is she? How can a deserted woman who was divorced by the Marquis's mansion be worthy of Mr. Xie?"

After the accusatory words were spoken, the expression on Su Sheng's face could not calm down. He had specifically pointed out someone just now, and he was using the emperor to make the woman in front of him shut up.

Now that Her Royal Highness the Princess has involved Lord Xie, what should we do?

Nalan Jinxiu had no idea of ​​Su Sheng's concerns. She thought Su Sheng was protecting Ruan Shuyan, and immediately glared at Ruan Shuyan fiercely.

"Go to the Imperial Study with me now and ask my father to withdraw the imperial decree. Remember, you, an abandoned woman, are not worthy of Xie Lang. Do you understand?"

Ruan Shuyan raised the corners of her lips and bowed: "I understand."

She was too cooperative, and Nalan Jinxiu felt something was wrong, but when she thought of that noble man, she suppressed the feeling in her heart.

Xie Lang, it must be hers.

In the imperial study, the disaster relief matters were settled. The emperor dismissed the other ministers and kept Xie Chunyu to ask about what happened yesterday.

Xie Chunyu replied briefly, and a smile appeared on his solemn face.

"I thank the Emperor for granting me the marriage."

The emperor laughed heartily, his face full of satisfaction.

They all knew that this arranged marriage was bought in exchange for two gold mines, but on the surface the hierarchy was still maintained.

At this moment, Nalan Jinxiu pushed away the eunuch who was blocking the door and walked straight into the imperial study.

"Father."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the person in front of the imperial desk. His handsome appearance made Nalan Jinxiu blush unconsciously.

"Thank you, Sir Xie is here too."

"Meet the Thirteenth Princess."

Xie Chunyu bowed and saw someone at the door. Why did she come with the Thirteenth Princess? Could it be that the Thirteenth Princess had made things difficult for her?

Noticing Nalan Jinxiu's gaze on him, Xie Chunyu felt a little unhappy.

The Thirteenth Princess had been keeping an eye on him earlier, and although he was limited by his status, he had also hinted that it was impossible for them.

If the Thirteenth Princess really made things difficult for Ruan Shuyan, he wouldn't mind talking to the Emperor about it.

At this moment, a majestic male voice broke the silence.

"Jinxiu, this imperial study is not a place for you to trespass."

The emperor seemed to be scolding, but the doting in his words could not be concealed at all.

Nalan Jinxiu retracted his gaze and said, "I know I was wrong. I was just thinking about you, father. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."

The word "missing" softened the emperor's brows, but then his expression changed because Su Sheng came in with his head lowered and his face pleasing to the eye.

"Your Majesty, Madam Xie is here."

"Xuan."

Ruan Shuyan entered and bowed, and her neither humble nor arrogant attitude impressed the emperor greatly.

"I already know that you two entered the palace today. The Ruan family has been very kind to the people."

Ruan Shuyan lowered her eyes, her tone filled with reverence: "It is not the Ruan family that has done favors to the people, but the emperor. You are kind and respectful, diligent and caring for the people. The Ruan family has achieved today's success with your guidance. I, your humble servant, dare to thank the emperor for his grace on behalf of the entire Ruan family."

When the emperor heard this, he immediately laughed.

At this moment, Ruan Shuyan sighed again: "It's a pity that the Ruan family is not blessed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on the emperor's face froze.

"how do I say this?"

Ruan Shuyan turned her head and looked to the side as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

She didn't need to do anything, as long as she expressed her opinion, the emperor would naturally take action for the sake of the gold mine.

Nalan Jinxiu was waiting for her to speak at first, but as time went by, she suddenly realized, "What are you looking at me doing?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Su Sheng. Seeing the latter's embarrassed expression, he guessed what his daughter had done.

Considering her feelings for Xie Chunyu, the emperor did not give her a chance to speak and directly asked Su Sheng to send her away.

Nalan Jinxiu was anxious. She dared to threaten Ruan Shuyan, but when she was in front of her father, she didn't dare to reveal anything she had done.

Because she knew that her father hated threatening meritorious officials the most.

"Father, I have nothing to say..."

The emperor rubbed his fingertips, his eyes slightly dark: "Su Sheng!"

Su Sheng was startled and didn't dare to delay any longer: "Princess, let's go!"

Nalan Jinxiu was just impulsive, but actually he was not stupid. After thinking it over for a moment, he suppressed his anger, bowed and left.

Ruan Shuyan kept her head down until Nalan Jinxiu's figure disappeared. Then she raised her head slightly, looking guilty and flustered.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant..."

The emperor waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "My daughter is spoiled. You don't need to pay attention to what she said. Come here!"

As the emperor spoke, rewards flowed from the palace into the Xie family.

But neither Ruan Shuyan nor Xie Chunyu looked happy.

After a while, Xie Chunyu sighed and said, "Do you think I am too cold and indifferent in the imperial study?"
