Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"This matter has already spread throughout the palace. I happened to be looking for the princess, and I heard about this as soon as I entered the palace. How can you say that I have good information?" Qin Yu coldly questioned the Grand Tutor.

"It seems that Her Highness the Princess is quite concerned about the princess of the neighboring country."

Qin Yu had no intention of paying any attention to the Grand Tutor.

Instead, he turned his attention to Qin Yanling. Qin Yanling noticed Qin Yu's gaze and was somewhat surprised, wondering what Qin Yu wanted to say.

"Your Majesty, I have something I wish to tell you. Perhaps Your Highness could stay at my residence. What do you think?"

Thinking of the officials before her, all of them were refusing. "Your Highness, this is absolutely inappropriate. The princess from the neighboring country is currently residing in the palace. Firstly, it allows Your Highness to become more familiar with the palace, and secondly..."

Before the officials could finish speaking, Qin Yu turned to them with a cold expression. "I'd like to ask you, His Majesty has no intention of taking any concubines, yet you're having this princess familiarize herself with the palace. Are you trying to make her one of His Majesty's concubines?"

In fact, they all had this idea, since making the princess the emperor's concubine was the most appropriate thing to do.

If this princess were to become the daughter-in-law of any official in the court, the position would certainly be greatly strengthened, and the person would be highly regarded.

They didn't want it to be this way; if they couldn't have it themselves, then no one should have it either.

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that I should stay in the palace..."

He was speechless for a moment when Qin Yu covered his mouth, leaving him at a loss for words.

"I only want to tell you one thing: my princess residence is no less than the imperial palace. There is something I forgot to tell you: the princess of this neighboring country is also a princess, and I am also a princess. My status is equal to that of the princess of this neighboring country, and there is nothing wrong with her living in my residence."

For some reason, they suddenly felt that Qin Yu was arguing unreasonably, but they didn't know what reasons to give to refute him. One of the officials cleverly noticed Mo Yun.

"The imperial court is a very important place. How can you allow a mere guard to enter the court? Is this how you show respect to His Majesty?"

"This guard Mo was originally my personal guard. Even when I was sleeping, he had to be by my side on weekends. I just went into the thatched cottage, so why can't he come with me?"

Standing to the side, Qin Yanling couldn't help but think that Qin Yu was really sharp-tongued, actually able to argue with this group of officials.

Qin Yanling had no intention of marrying and having children, but he never expected that they would want Xu Jiu to become one of his concubines.

Once a precedent is set, there will be others to follow. These ministers will definitely try every means to send their daughters into the palace, and then the palace will be very lively.

Not only did he have to deal with state affairs, but he also had to manage the power struggles among the concubines in the harem, which gave Qin Yanling a headache just thinking about it.

"I think what my elder sister said makes a lot of sense. My elder sister is also a princess, and the princess of the neighboring country is also a princess. The two of them have a common ground, so I agree to let the princess of the neighboring country move to my elder sister's residence."

Upon hearing this, the ministers in the court looked at each other in disbelief. They couldn't understand why the emperor would agree to Qin Yu's request. Moreover, Qin Yu was ruthless. If the princess from the neighboring country angered Qin Yu, wouldn't she end up in deep trouble?

"However, although Your Majesty wishes to bring the princess from the neighboring country into your residence, we must first consult the princess herself. I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing?"

The meaning is quite obvious: if the princess from the neighboring country is willing to live in Qin Yu's residence, then let her go; if she is not willing, then let her continue to stay in the palace.

The ministers in the court all thought that the princess from the neighboring country was definitely unwilling to go to Qin Yu's princess residence, but she never dared to dream of becoming the princess of the neighboring country. As soon as she arrived here and saw Qin Yu, she greeted him.

"Sister Qin, I didn't expect to see you again."

As soon as Xu Jiu arrived at the main hall, she sweetly called out to Qin Yu with a smile on her face. Xu Jiu was wearing a pink dress embroidered with peach blossoms, and her hair was adorned with a simple hairpin.

Upon seeing Xu Jiu, Qin Yu naturally reached out and grasped Xu Jiu's hand. For the first time, Qin Yu smiled in front of all the ministers.

The ministers were all dumbfounded, and it took them a while to react. In that instant, they suddenly understood what it meant to have a smile that could launch a thousand ships.

Judging from the way Qin Yu and Xu Jiu get along now, it seems that the two have a pretty good relationship. I never expected that someone as aloof as Qin Yu would actually...

"The relationship between me and the princess of the neighboring country is better than that of sisters, even though we are not blood sisters."

None of them expected that Qin Yu and this princess from the neighboring country had such a good relationship.

Even the Prime Minister was stunned for a moment. He had never expected that Qin Yu and the princess of the neighboring country would have such a harmonious relationship, and more importantly, that Qin Yu valued the princess of the neighboring country so much.

It took the ministers a while to realize that they had been so captivated by Qin Yu's beauty. Now, recalling their absurd actions, they felt a pang of shame.

"I see that the relationship between the princess of the neighboring country and the emperor is so harmonious, I think there is no need to ask any further questions."

Then, as if remembering something, Qin Yanling mentioned that he would have the palace servants deliver the neighboring country's princess's belongings to her residence later.

"Sister Qin, can I really live in your princess's residence now?" Xu Jiu asked Qin Yu, blinking her eyes.

"If you like, you can stay here until you get married."

Qin Yanling then turned his attention to Xu Jiu, asking if Xu Jiu had met anyone she liked in the past few days.

"Your Majesty, I have only met a few young men in the past few days, but none of them have caught my eye."

Since Xu Jiu doesn't like it, then all the young men from prominent families in the capital who are looking to get married will be gathered together so that Xu Jiu can choose the best one.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I would like to take a good look at the scenery of the capital before choosing a husband."

Qin Yanling agreed.
