In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Master Xu was very surprised:

"Why are you here? Aren't you staying at Prince Jing's Mansion?"

Xu Qingyin's voice was almost tearful:

"The daughter is really worried about her mother."

Master Xu sighed, but didn't say anything. After all, if her father had been in trouble, she would definitely be the first to come. It was understandable that her daughter was like this.

The emperor was puzzled when he saw Xu Qingyin coming:

"You must be the daughter that the Xu family found a few days ago. I never thought that there would be such a beauty in Yunjin. It's a pity that you didn't grow up in the capital."

In fact, the emperor was in a good mood today, but the imperial concubine was angry, and he was just here to accompany the imperial concubine to vent her anger.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Seeing Xu Qingyin's well-behaved appearance, the emperor, who already liked beauties, could not move his eyes away from her and was more willing to say a few more words:

"Look at this diamond jewelry your mother made for the imperial concubine. It fell off the bracelet so easily. Do you think this is not okay?"

Although the words seemed to be accusations, there was even a sense of pampering in the tone.

But this time, it was Chu Qingyin's turn to be speechless. What the hell was this? Wasn't the diamond falling off the jewelry because the craftsmen didn't hold it firmly in place due to water? What did this have to do with his mother?

Moreover, he had already obtained these diamonds as substitutes, but he didn't expect that the craftsmen couldn't even use glue, and they even harmed his mother...

It is impossible that these craftsmen cannot even apply glue, not to mention that this is a gift for the imperial concubine, who has an unpredictable temper. If you accidentally offend her, you will be sentenced to death.

"Master Xu, you're only close to my sister, so have you neglected me?"

The imperial concubine didn't even look at Xu Luohan, and her voice was cold.

"I don't know."

Xu Luohan didn't know what to do.

"It's not just about the jewelry. I don't think your diamonds look good either."

Xu Qingyin opened her eyes wide in shock. If she hadn't dared to look up at the emperor, she would have really wanted to see what his expression was. Although the diamond was obtained by her mother, the emperor still praised it highly.

Now the imperial concubine directly refuted in front of the emperor, saying that the diamond is not worth mentioning. I wonder what the emperor would think?

But then I heard His Majesty's comforting tone:

"Oh, Yu'er, this diamond really doesn't catch your eye. If you like any other gold or silver treasures, I can get them for you, okay? I heard that the sea in the south is rich in black pearls. Wearing those black pearls would be dazzling. Don't be angry, okay?"

These words were spoken as if to coax a child. Xu Qingyin's eyes widened. Today she had finally seen something new.

She had never expected that the emperor doted on her so much, to the point that he even disregarded his own dignity. No wonder Lu Yan said that she might not believe it. The imperial concubine's favor for her had reached a level that she could not imagine.

She really couldn't imagine that he could pamper her to this extent.

Then the emperor winked at Master Xu on the ground:

"You were indeed wrong about what happened today. Why didn't you give the most beautiful diamond to the imperial concubine? In that case, I will fine you a month's salary. Now go back and reflect on your mistakes."

The imperial concubine didn't want to let Xu Luohan go so easily, but when she saw Xu Qingyin lying on the ground, she suddenly smiled faintly as if she didn't want to continue pestering her.

"You can leave if you want, but let your daughter stay. After all, she's been back in the capital for quite some time now and has already dined with the Empress. It should be no problem for her to accompany me."

Xu Luohan originally wanted to say something, but now seeing that her mother had finally been let go, she thought that the imperial concubine would definitely not let her go so easily today.

Xu Qingyin quickly winked at her mother and spoke before her mother:

"Your Highness is a beauty of heaven. It is a blessing for Miss Chen to let me accompany you to enjoy the flowers and have a meal. How could I not want to do that?"

After saying that, Xu Luohan was sent out.

Lu Yan was still staying in the palace. He was really worried about Xu Qingyin. It was precisely because of Lu Yan's presence that Xu Luohan felt a little more at ease.

"I didn't expect you to be so eloquent at such a young age. But at least you have a good appearance. No wonder His Royal Highness Prince Jing is willing to accompany you all the time. Other noble ladies don't have such a blessing."

Although every word of this sounds like a compliment to him, it always makes people feel uncomfortable.

Although the emperor likes to indulge in debauchery on weekdays, he still has some government affairs to deal with, so he has left now.

After a while, the eldest prince and the second prince arrived.

"My sons and ministers see my mother and concubine."

After they finished speaking, they looked up and saw Xu Qingyin.

"Oh, Third Brother usually doesn't like beautiful women, but when did such a beauty suddenly appear by his side? With such a first-class appearance, it seems that we in Yunjin can't find another one like her."

"No wonder you didn't want the beautiful woman we gave you. It turns out you already have a beautiful woman in your arms."

In fact, when they said this, they both knew that the woman who could enter the palace must be a noble lady from an aristocratic family, but they just didn't know her.

But now he deliberately said these provocative words, on the one hand belittling Xu Qingyin in front of him, and on the other hand dragging Lu Yan into the trap.

Worried that Lu Yan might be confused by their words and say something inappropriate, Xu Qingyin spoke before him:

"Your humble servant greets the First and Second Princes. Your humble servant and His Royal Highness Prince Jing are not close, but we are acquainted through the Empress and my mother. Your humble servant recently brought back my daughter from the Xu family, and I haven't met the two princes on a daily basis. If I may have offended you in some way, please forgive me."

Her words were so well-spoken that the people in front of her couldn't find fault with her. But they were princes and nobles after all, so it was easy for them to say and do whatever they wanted.

"Then you must go back and talk to your mother about the jewelry you gave to my mother. Prepare it carefully and don't be so perfunctory. It's obvious that such a fine diamond was ruined by her."

Obviously these words were somewhat unfriendly, but the imperial concubine did not show any intention of raising her eyes, as if she was just letting her son bite people like a mad dog.

Lu Wei's words were harsh, and Lu Yan was used to it. But he didn't want Xu Qingyin to feel wronged.

"Although the diamonds were provided by the Imperial Master, the craftsmen, the craftsmanship, and even the distribution of the diamonds never went through the Imperial Master's hands. How could this have come to this?"
