After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

"Clear!"

Just as Yan Qing was about to return to Qingyi Courtyard, a slightly familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded at the gate.

Yan Qing looked back and saw a pretty, thin woman in purple clothes rushing in with a large group of people, her face full of excitement.

The man ran to Yan Qing and hugged her: "Wow, Qingqing, I didn't expect Gu Huaizhou to be the Fourth Prince. You're so rich!"

Yan Qing was in a trance for a moment.

After a long while, she finally remembered who the person was.

Wang Mingjue!

The illegitimate daughter of the Wang family was considered a good omen because she was born with a jade in her mouth. She was brought into the palace by Queen Wang since she was young and was given the title of County Lady.

When Yan Qing was a child, she was often taken to the palace by her grandfather, and thus met Wang Mingjue. Yan Qing was very compassionate when she was a child. Wang Mingjue's father was ominous and her mother died giving birth to her. Although she was raised by Queen Wang, she was not Queen Wang's biological daughter after all. Just like Gu Huaizhou, she lived under someone else's roof.

When she was a child, Yan Qing felt very sympathetic towards Gu Huaizhou.

Therefore, when he saw Wang Mingjue who was in the same situation as Gu Huaizhou, he felt sympathy.

So the two became good friends.

But this good friend, in her previous life, was betrayed by Lu Qiaonan, and when the Ye family was in trouble, he refused to even see her.

Later I heard that she had married the current emperor and was fighting a life-and-death battle with Queen Wang in the harem.

The girls around Wang Mingyu also congratulated him, "Yes, Yan Qing, you've been friends with Gu... no, the Fourth Prince since childhood. You were named a princess this time, presumably because the Fourth Prince said a lot of good things about you to the Emperor..."

"what?"

Wang Mingyu suddenly let go of Yan Qing, glanced at the girl, and then looked at Yan Qing: "Have you been granted the title of Princess?"

Yan Qing looked at her surprised face, which showed no trace of joy, and nodded, saying, "The emperor's grace is so great, I truly feel unworthy of it."

Wang Mingyu frowned: "When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"

The woman just now covered her mouth and laughed, "I'm afraid it was just conferred this morning. The county lady just returned from the imperial mausoleum and didn't know about it. I only found out about it last night when my father told me..."

"Yes, the county lady went to the imperial mausoleum to pray for the Empress and stayed there for three months. A lot has happened in Kyoto..."

"The county lady and Yan Er were good friends before, and now they are even better. One of them is the county lady and the other is the princess. They are truly sisters..."

The other women also spoke in unison.

Wang Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then took Yan Qing's hand and said, "Qingqing, congratulations! I didn't expect that after not seeing you for three months, you've transformed into a princess. I'm afraid I'll have to bow to you every time I see you from now on!"

Yan Qing pulled back his hand: "You're welcome, County Lady."

In her previous life, she didn't understand why Wang Mingyu stood by and watched when she was in trouble, as they had been friends since childhood.

Wang Mingyu was very unhappy when he was a child.

Because she had no parents, her personality was very gloomy and extreme. In addition, she was bullied and looked down upon in the palace, so she often had thoughts of suicide.

Every time Wang Mingyu told her that she was in too much pain and didn't want to live, Yan Qing was very worried and tried every way to warm her, enlighten her, and coax her.

From childhood to adulthood, Yan Qing has advised her no less than twenty times.

He even suffered a lot of injuries while saving Wang Mingyu.

She always thought that she and Wang Mingyu were friends for life, but she didn't expect that when she was in the most pain, Wang Mingyu chose to turn a blind eye to her.

Now that she was reborn, she finally understood.

Wang Mingyu is an extremely selfish person.

Everything is for her own benefit.

From the moment she came in, she was concerned about Gu Huaizhou's identity. Later, when she heard that she was named a princess, as her best friend, she was not happy at all.

Even her last words had a hint of jealousy.

The other women who followed were not stupid.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, he immediately tried to smooth things over, saying, "The Princess and the County Lord have such a good relationship, so there's naturally no need for formalities. But when we meet you two in the future, we'll have to perform formalities..."

Wang Mingyu regained her charming demeanor. "Please don't say that, everyone. How about this? I'll treat you all to a meal at the best restaurant in Kyoto today. Just think of it as this county lady celebrating Qingqing's conferment of the title!"

The others immediately cheered: "The county lady is famous."

Wang Mingyu blinked and looked at Yan Qing: "Qingqing?"

Yan Qing didn't want to go.

She usually had a bad reputation in Kyoto and did not interact with the ladies of noble families. Now, they were suddenly showing their goodwill to her, which was simply because her status had changed and she had become a princess that everyone envied.

It is even more likely that he came for Gu Huaizhou.

In the past, Gu Huaizhou was a distant relative of the Yan family with no money or power, so naturally no one cared about him. But now he has transformed into the Fourth Prince, and there are countless people in Kyoto who want to curry favor with him.

These noble ladies must have been warned by their fathers and brothers a long time ago.

Yan Qing did not waste his energy on these people. It would be better to make more money at this time.

"excuse me, I……"

Just as they were about to refuse, a figure suddenly appeared behind the ladies.

Yan Qing noticed Yang Ying with sharp eyes.

Why is she here too?

"It seems I am late..."

Yang Ying came forward with a gift, bowed slightly towards Yan Qing, and said gently, "Princess Qinghe, congratulations."

Yang Xuan behind her had a rather grim expression on her face, but she had to bow her head and salute: "Yang Xuan greets the princess."

Yan Qing looked at Yang Qing: "Miss Yang, what's this?"

Even if it was to congratulate her on being named a princess, the gifts she brought were too many. She just glanced at it and saw that the servants behind her seemed to have some in their hands...

Yang Ying smiled helplessly, but his expression was frank: "My father said that my concubine sister offended the Fourth Prince and the Princess at the Princess's Mansion last time, so he specifically ordered me to bring gifts and my concubine sister to apologize. I hope the Princess and the Fourth Prince can forgive my concubine sister."

Yan Qing glanced at Yang Xuan, had someone take the gifts, and said, "In consideration of these gifts, this princess will not hold it against Second Miss Yang. As for the Fourth Prince... I'm sorry, this princess cannot forgive him on his behalf."

"you--"

"Common sister!"

Just as Yang Xuan was about to speak, she was scolded by Yang Ying.

Yang Ying looked at Yan Qing with a faint smile: "Of course, it is her honor that the princess can forgive her concubine sister."

Yang Xuan stared at Yan Qing, wishing she could pop her eyes out.

This Yan Qing is so shameless!

She accepted so many gifts from the Yang Mansion, yet she didn't even speak up for them? If her father hadn't told her to listen to Yang Yin when she went out, she would have gone and snatched these gifts back!

Yan Qing felt very relieved when she saw Yang Xuan glaring at her but unable to kill her.

This person feels better when he feels relieved.

Seeing Yang Qing's measured approach, Yan Qing's eyes flickered slightly. "Miss Yang, the county lady just said she would invite everyone to dinner at Fusheng Restaurant. I wonder if Miss Yang would be willing to do us the honor?"

"Fusheng Restaurant?"

Yang Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled casually: "This is the most luxurious restaurant on Chang'an Street. I heard that the intoxicating food there is priceless. The county lady is very bold!"

Wang Mingjue's face changed!

Fusheng Restaurant is the most expensive restaurant in the whole of Kyoto. A meal here costs several hundred taels of silver!

Not to mention the drunkenness of life inside.

It is even comparable to gold!

It has always been the wealthy nobles in Kyoto who waste money. How could she, a mere county lady, afford it?

Yan Qing looked at Wang Mingyu and asked in confusion, "County Lady, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Mingjue smiled palely.

Someone whispered, "Is Fusheng Restaurant too expensive? I heard that only princes and wealthy merchants can go there. County Master..."

"how come?"

Hearing someone's doubts, Wang Mingyu immediately said: "Although this county lady is not as powerful as the princes, I can still treat everyone to a meal at Fusheng Restaurant."

"really?"

"The county lady is wise!"

"I know the county lady is the best!"

Everyone looked at Wang Mingyu with surprise and admiration, but Wang Mingyu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

What she said just now about inviting everyone to the best restaurant was just talk.

Because every time she said this, Yan Qing would stand up and treat her to a meal out of pity for her difficult situation. But today, not only did Yan Qing not stand up, but he asked her to treat everyone to the Fusheng Restaurant?

Wang Mingjue glanced at Yan Qing, wondering: Could it be that during the time she was away, something happened to Yan Qing that she didn't know about?

Never mind, she will definitely help herself in the end anyway.

Wang Mingyu stepped forward and took Yan Qing's arm, saying coquettishly, "Since Qingqing wants to go to Fusheng Restaurant, then this county lady will accompany you to the end!"

Yan Qing also smiled and said, "Since the county lady is treating us, it's natural that I, the princess, will accompany her along with everyone else..."

"Yes, let's accompany the county lady together!"

The noble ladies were so excited that they didn't notice the subtle meaning in Yan Qing and Wang Mingyu's words at all.

The smile on Wang Mingyu's face froze for a moment.

What happened to Yan Qing?

Why are you going against her everywhere today?

At this moment, Yan Tan and Yan Yue suddenly appeared from nowhere and came up to her, saying, "The county lady wants to invite everyone to the Fusheng Restaurant. We sisters have never been to such a noble place before. Would we be honored to accompany her?"

The lively scene just now disappeared in an instant.

The ladies looked at each other, all with strange expressions on their faces.

Everyone in Kyoto knows about the entanglement between Yan Tan and Yan Qing. Considering what Yan Tan has done, I really don't know how he can have the nerve to stand in front of Yan Qing.

Yan Tan seemed not to notice the expressions of the others. She looked at Wang Mingyu aggrievedly: "County Lady, is this not possible?"

Wang Mingyu looked at Yan Tan with strange eyes.

After a while, she smiled innocently: "Of course, you and Yan Yue are Qingqing's sisters, so naturally you should be together, and..."

She suddenly cast her gaze on Yan Yue's face and smiled hastily, "Sister Yue has liked the Fourth Prince since she was a child. Maybe she will be his consort in the future. We don't have enough time to curry favor with her now..."

After saying this, Wang Mingyu looked at Yan Qing implicitly.

But Yan Qing was looking straight at her.

Wang Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled widely and took Yan Qing's hand and shook it: "Don't you agree, Qingqing?"

Yan Qing smiled gently: "Yes."

It seems that although Wang Mingyu is not in Kyoto, she knows everything that happens in Kyoto.

He was really giving her trouble all the time.

Yan Yue, who was originally reluctant to go but was forcibly pulled away, immediately brightened up when she heard this: "Really? Can I really become the Fourth Prince's consort?"

Wang Mingyu said confidently, "Of course! Yueyue is so cute, of course she can be the Fourth Prince's consort."

Others were envious and jealous.

Although Wang Mingyu was only a county lady, she lived in the palace and was close to the empress.

The marriages of the princes in the palace were all decided by the Empress.

If Wang Mingyu mentioned it in front of the Empress, Yan Yue might actually be included in the royal family tree.

I don't know what kind of luck this girl had to win the favor of the county lady.

Yan Tan was also delighted and said repeatedly, "Thank you, County Master!"

She sneaked out just for Wang Mingyu.

Yan Qing, this idiot, doesn't know that Wang Mingyu is a scheming woman. He foolishly treats her as his best friend, buys her things when he goes out, and gives her gifts during festivals. He is simply an idiot!

But Yan Tan now hopes that Yan Qing will continue to be an idiot.

This will make her fall flat on her face!

She now eagerly wants to see the day when Yan Qing becomes infamous!

The one who can give her hope is Wang Mingyu in front of her.

The first time she saw Wang Mingyu, Yan Tan knew that this woman was the same type as her, so Wang would never want Yan Qing to live better than herself.

Especially since Yan Qing is still a princess now.

A princess is more noble than a county lady!

Yan Tan looked at Wang Mingyu.

Wang Mingyu was also looking at her.

Their eyes met, as if they had reached a consensus on something...

Yan Qing just looked at them.

It wasn't until Wang Mingyu noticed something was wrong that she turned around and looked at Yan Qing, her almond-shaped eyes revealing an innocent look: "Qingqing, I know you and Miss Yan had some misunderstandings when you were young, but you are sisters after all, you don't mind, right?"

"You, the County Master, don't know this, but Miss Yan..."

Someone wanted to remind Wang Mingyu, but was interrupted by another person: "Stop talking."

Yan Qing pretended not to hear.

Looking at Wang Mingyu's face, which was so hypocritical that it even deceived herself, he smiled and said, "Of course, the county lady is paying for the meal, so naturally she can invite whoever she wants."

Wang Mingyu's heart sank.

But he smiled and said, "In that case, let's go. It's already noon, let's go to Fusheng Restaurant for lunch..."

So, the group headed towards Chang'an Avenue in a mighty procession.

In the carriage, Qingluan said worriedly, "Miss, are we really going?"

Yan Qing watched Yan Tan get on Wang Mingyu's carriage and sneered, "Go, why not?"

"But……"

Qingluan wanted to say something but stopped herself.

The young lady has a bad reputation and has few friends in Kyoto. Only Princess Wang is willing to play with her, so the young lady values ​​the princess very much.

But the county lady didn't really consider the young lady as a friend.

In the past, they didn't mention it in order not to make the young lady sad, but now the young lady is obviously different from before, so Qingluan doesn't want the young lady to be used by the county lord again.

Luzhi also nodded and said, "Miss, if you go, you will definitely have to pay for the county lady..."

Yan Qing laughed: "Do I look like a sucker?"

Qingluan and Luzhi nodded at the same time: "Resemble!"

Yan Qing: “…”

Well, she was indeed a sucker in the past.

"Don't worry, your young lady won't suffer any loss this time!"

By the time Yan Qing had calmed the two maids, the carriage had already stopped on Chang'an Avenue.

The noble ladies got off the car and looked at the magnificent Fusheng Restaurant in front of them, but they did not dare to go in easily. They all stood behind Wang Mingyu at the same time.

Wang Mingyu walked up to Yan Qing's carriage and said with a smile, "Qingqing, we're here."
