The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

"My lord father is currently receiving the eunuch who has given me the reward and cannot spare any time for now, so he asked me to come and tell you the good news. You have become a member of our Yu family. It is my lord father's honor and yours as well." Yu Wangbei stood outside the courtyard gate and bowed in response, smiling.

His attitude was very respectful, but his words hinted at arrogance.

Today, Fei Wan was bullied by her from the moment she entered the house. Poor sister Jin'er was forced to be expelled from the family, and the second brother was severely beaten. He even went to "find out" the past of her abuse in person. It can be said that everyone in the Yu family was suppressed by her today.

Now, with the good news coming, my father has rightfully become a meritorious official.

The achievement of retaking Ningcheng is no ordinary military achievement.

In the future, General He will be recorded in history books, and my father, as General He's introducer and a member of the same faction, as well as the person in charge of military supplies on the front line, will also be recorded in history books.

In comparison, a mere "favored concubine" has too little weight in history books.

I hope Feiwan can understand that the emperor’s favor may come today but disappear tomorrow. Even if her sister Jin’er is promoted to the rank of Imperial Concubine, she can be demoted to the lowest position. She is just a little Ronghua, so she should not be too arrogant.

The Yu family is her real backer!

"Oh, yes, the glory of Lord Yu is also the glory of this Lord."

How could Fei Wan not see what Yu Wangbei was thinking?

He repeated his words, smiling deeply.

Why not!

The greater the Minister's achievements, the easier it would be for her, the Minister's daughter, to be promoted.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Yu. With the good news, your family must be very busy. I have to trouble you to come here in person to tell me the good news."

"It's all within my humble duty."

Yu Wangbei nodded slightly, secretly dissatisfied.

This Zhao Ronghua, although already included in the family tree, never called him "big brother" from beginning to end, nor did he call anyone in the family that, not even his parents.

Although being a concubine in the palace means only caring about the emperor and his subjects, it is too much to not show any affection in private!

Compared to her well-behaved and sensible sister Jin'er, she is far inferior.

Jin'er had such a bad character, and she was spoiled by him and beat and scolded him several times. It was obvious that she couldn't help herself and was annoyed by him.

How despicable she is that she is so narrow-minded and holds a grudge until now. Not only did she harm Jin'er, but she also made a big fuss about the family conflict during the visit, bringing shame to the Yu family...

"Since Miss Zhao has already heard the good news, I will take my leave."

Yu Wangbei sneered secretly and left.

I couldn't help but think of my other sister, Yu Sujin, who was born out of wedlock and had already entered the palace.

"Father, Zhao Ronghua wasn't happy to hear the good news. She's clearly not on the same page with us. Even if our blood relationship is real, she was raised by a vulgar family. As the saying goes, poverty breeds cunning schemes, and poverty breeds unruly people. Her behavior clearly doesn't make her a good daughter of our Yu family. Instead of supporting her, I think it's better to look after Susu."

When he returned to Yu Zhong, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had already left, so Yu Wangbei discussed the matter with his father in private.

"Su Su?"

When Yu Sujin was mentioned, Yu Zhong's face turned ugly.

This child was also his beloved daughter. Although she was born out of wedlock, he always treated her as a legitimate daughter.

But she...

Ugh!

He was a clean civil servant who came from the imperial examination system, but he was even more outrageous than the noble dukes who had no ability and relied on their ancestors' influence. As luck would have it, all three of his daughters entered the palace.

He had been feeling rather embarrassed in front of his colleagues recently, feeling that everyone was stabbing him in the back and accusing him of relying on sending daughters into the palace to become an official.

"Dad, although Su Jin shouldn't have entered the palace, things have come to this point and we can only accept it."

Because Yu Wangbei's mother had suffered a lot from Yu Sujin's concubine, he naturally disliked this half-sister and usually only treated her well for the sake of face.

But we are family members, so we still have to use it.

Jin'er is useless now, so we have to rely on Susu.

"Father, please write a memorial later and say something good to Su Jin. Don't mention letting her leave the palace to practice. I think she is usually very steady. She might be able to control Zhao Ronghua, who Jin'er couldn't."

Yu Zhong frowned. "We'll talk about this later. Is lunch ready?"

"Almost done, we can start the meal on time."

"When the time came, someone was sent to invite her to the banquet. After the meal was finished early, she was sent back to the palace."

"Yes."

The father and son no longer talked about family matters, but instead seriously discussed the battle report in the northwest and how this military achievement would cause changes in the court structure.

Compared with real military and political affairs, concubines and household affairs are just trivial matters.

"Xie Shizi, are you here today just to watch the fun?"

After Yu Wangbei left, Fei Wan returned to the house and continued talking to Xie Weizhou.

The young man in red robe has a handsome face, long eyebrows and bright eyes, like a jade made of ice and snow. Although his half-smile looks like he deserves a beating, he is indeed pleasing to the eye.

After seeing Yu Wangbei's forced smile, I looked at him and felt my eyes were cleared.

It’s just that this beauty’s words are rather irritating.

"Yeah, I just came here to watch the fun, to see how you were ostracized by the Yu family, and to see how they treated you in a sarcastic way."

Fei Wan stared at him: "Are they as sarcastic as you?"

"Oh, I didn't come to you to show off my achievements and force you to bow your head."

He could see it clearly.

Just by listening to Master Yu talking through the window, he could see through his thoughts.

Fei Wan raised her eyebrows and provoked him: "You just want to show off, but do you have any achievements to show off?"

The smile on Xie Weizhou's lips faltered slightly.

Fei Wan continued, "You are a man of great stature, a master of martial arts, but you spend all your time in the capital teasing cats and dogs, worrying about nothing. You use all your skills to climb walls and windows, spying on me for your aunt, the virtuous concubine, and paying attention to trivial matters in the inner palace. Are you ashamed? The great victory in Ningcheng, you didn't get ecstatic when you heard the good news and celebrated the national victory, but you focused on the feud between me and the Yu family. Are you worthy of being a son of a noble family? May I ask, where are your merits and where is your nobility?"

Xie Weizhou narrowed his eyes.

The handsome face that is as white as snow is covered with a layer of frost.

He stared at Fei Wan for a moment without blinking, then suddenly sneered, "Don't think I'll fall for your provocation and abandon the wealth of the capital to join the army on the frontier!"

"Oh, you actually want to join the army in the frontier?" Fei Wan pretended to be surprised. "I thought you would get angry and go to the military department in the capital to seek a job. It turns out that you don't even care about leading troops in the capital."

Xie Weizhou was stunned for a moment.

I accidentally fell into her verbal trap.

"Could it be that you were sent by my aunt to persuade me to do the right thing?"

Fei Wan smiled and said, "That's not the case. You are the one who walked into the trap today, not me who just sits there and waits for you to get caught."

Xie Weizhou looked at her quietly.

"I won't get a job, so please don't waste your time on me."

"Xie Weizhou. I don't care what Concubine Xian and you think. I only know that the recovery of Ningcheng may not be a blessing." Fei Wan suddenly became serious.

Xie Weizhou was surprised: "How do you mean?"

He suddenly had an intuition.

This strange and unpredictable woman didn't seem to be talking nonsense.

The cold light in her eyes was captivating, just like the sunlight on the snowy mountains that stung his eyes in his childhood at a distant frontier.
