Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Qin Yu saw that Shangguan Mufeng and Xu Jiu were both silent.

For a fleeting moment, she was slightly surprised, and for some reason, she felt that something was very wrong with them.

At this moment, Xu Jiu returned to the side hall, citing that he was a little tired.

Shangguan Mufeng saw Xu Jiu leave and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He looked up at Qin Yu, who felt that there seemed to be a distance between them.

"What happened between you and Xu Jiu? Why don't you tell me and I'll see if I can help you?"

"Xu Jiu's only reason for harboring resentment is that I was a male concubine in the princess's residence in the past."

So that's how it is. If that's the case, then what should Qin Yu do? He fell into deep thought for a moment.

After thinking it over for a while, Qin Yu told Shangguan Mufeng that he would find a way to get Xu Jiu to accept Shangguan Mufeng.

"Have you ever hated me? After all, if I hadn't made you my male favorite, I'm afraid Her Highness wouldn't have held any grudge against you."

"Being able to help Your Highness is a blessing I have accumulated over three lifetimes. Moreover, I have learned a great deal during my time here, and I am also delighted by the honor Your Highness bestows upon the Shangguan family."

From beginning to end, Shangguan Mufeng never hated Qin Yu.

More importantly, besides never having hated her, there was also admiration, since Qin Yu was often different from what was rumored to be.

There were rumors that Qin Yu was ruthless and heartless, but after spending time with her, it became clear that this was not the case; it was all just hearsay.

In the Prince Yu's mansion, Cheng Qixia naturally knew that Xu Jiu would be staying in the capital for a period of time. At this time, Cheng Qixia made a decision: to assassinate Xu Jiu. If Xu Jiu died in the capital, it would surely arouse the anger of neighboring countries.

More importantly, it seems that Qin Yu has acquired another male favorite in his household. This male favorite is the very one that the envoy from the neighboring country has been eyeing. He is an exceptionally handsome man, arguably the most beautiful man in the world, and even Mo Yun's appearance seems to pale in comparison.

Cheng Qixia had already ordered a sedan chair to be prepared before deciding to go to the Princess's residence. When Cheng Qixia finally arrived at the Princess's residence, she was surprised to find that the gates of the Princess's residence were wide open.

The butler was slightly surprised to see Cheng Qixia arrive and hurriedly informed Qin Yu. Qin Yu, however, said that since he was already there, he should make the best of it. Cheng Qixia walked in and greeted Qin Yu, who merely glanced at him and nodded slightly.

However, at this moment, he discovered Shangguan Mufeng and was shocked. Why would Shangguan Mufeng be staying in the princess's residence?

"Is my timing a bit inappropriate, and have I disturbed Her Highness's good time?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing. How could she find such words so ridiculous? More importantly, Cheng Qixia actually looked like a resentful woman. Mo Yun walked up to Qin Yu and said, "What are you saying? How dare you disrespect Her Highness the Princess?"

Unexpectedly, when Mo Yun said that, Cheng Qixia retorted, "Did he say something harsh? It was just a teasing remark."

Cheng Qixia's clothes were more like those of a noble young master than those of a guard. Qin Yu was truly good to Mo Yun.

"Her Highness is so kind to her guards that she would use such fine gold silk thread to make clothes for them here."

Qin Yu felt very unhappy listening to Cheng Qixia say such things.

"What I use to clothe my mind is my prerogative. Does Your Highness intend to interfere in my affairs? I remember why Your Highness has come here..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Qixia said again, "I just wanted to see the princess's new male favorite. I wonder where this male favorite is now? I've heard that he is known as the most handsome man in the world."

Qin Yu used her mind-reading ability to check what Cheng Qixia was thinking. She hadn't expected Cheng Qixia to be jealous. Did Cheng Qixia really like her? Qin Yu found it somewhat ironic.

Hearing Qin Yu defend him, Mo Yun felt a surge of joy. He secretly made up his mind that no matter what his status was, as long as he could stay by Qin Yu's side, it would all be worth it.

Even if he could only be a lowly guard in this lifetime, it would be enough for Mo Yun. However, Mo Yun really disliked what the prince had said.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Qin Yu's newly acquired male concubines naturally came out from the inner room. One of them had a very alluring figure, and more importantly, he even carried a faint floral fragrance.

This man can only be described as a demon. He has peach blossom eyes, and more importantly, his pupils are heterochromatic.

"I've seen Your Highness before, but I didn't know Your Highness wanted to see me. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Qin Yu walked up to Lou Yan, her face cold as she looked at Cheng Qixia. "Why did you come out?"

"Just now, I heard the commotion outside from this room, and I also heard the prince say that he wanted to see me. I was afraid that the prince would make things difficult for Your Highness, so I came out. Please don't be angry, Your Highness."

Qin Yu smiled and placed her hand on Lou Yan's shoulder. "You're so handsome, how could I possibly be angry? Even if I were angry, seeing your face would make me forget it."

Then Qin Yu turned to look at Cheng Qixia and questioned her, "I wonder if Your Highness is satisfied with what you've seen? If so, Your Highness may return now. I'd like to spend some time here with my new male favorite to cultivate our relationship."

Listening to what Qin Yu was saying, Cheng Qixia felt quite uncomfortable. Qin Yu, a woman, was actually keeping male lovers here.

Qin Yu saw what Cheng Qixia was thinking. If she found it funny, people in this world say that men can have three wives and four concubines, so why can't women have multiple husbands?

"you……"

At this moment, Cheng Qixia was unsure how to continue his conversation with Qin Yu and the other person. Cheng Qixia cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, "Your Highness, I was in the wrong today. I hope Your Highness will forgive me..."
