Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"If you have something to report, then speak; if not, leave the court." Jiang Yu's voice sounded more energetic; how could he not be energetic with a powerful backer by his side?

When Cheng Qixia saw Qin Yu again after three years, he was inevitably amazed. Over the years, he had collected many portraits of Qin Yu, and he thought she was beautiful enough. But now that he saw her in person, he felt that the painter had not captured even a tenth of Qin Yu's beauty.

They should all be flogged when they get back!

"Your Highness, it's been a long time. You're even more beautiful than before."

"It's been a long time. Your Highness's words are as annoying as ever."

What did he take her for? An object to be judged at will? He wanted to dominate her from the start, as if she had no temper.

The atmosphere was tense from the very beginning, with the ministers shrinking their necks even further.

Grand Tutor Leng originally wanted to pick a fight with the Eldest Princess today, but now he doesn't dare to speak. It's a joke; if the Prince wanted to kill him, the Emperor and the Eldest Princess wouldn't plead for him. They would only give him a decent reward after his death.

Moreover, the eldest princess is no good person either. Even without the Prince taking action, he would probably be brutally killed by her.

Cheng Qixia was not angry at all; instead, she laughed even harder.

"This is a record of major events and tax revenue in my fiefdom over the past three years. According to the law, thirty percent of the revenue should be handed over to the national treasury. I request Your Majesty to review it."

Jiang Yu took the document and handed it to Qin Yanling without even looking at it. Qin Yu was already used to his behavior. She opened it and glanced at it. It was no different from what she had received before. However, listening to Cheng Qixia's thoughts just now, it was not as honest as what was written on the paper.

"Your Highness is living a good life. Besides reporting on your duties, do you have any plans to visit other places during this trip to the capital?"

Cheng Qixia didn't believe that Qin Yu was really inviting him to play, but was using this as a way to test his true intentions. Qin Yanling must have mentioned the marriage proposal, but he didn't expect Qin Yu to be able to act like nothing had happened even after knowing about it.

"Since we're here, we can't leave empty-handed. I wonder if the Princess has any recommendations?"

The two of them actually started chatting like two spoiled brats, leaving all the officials speechless. Shouldn't they be arguing or even fighting?

Only Qin Yu and Cheng Qixia knew that every word they said had a deeper meaning.

"I know that the Qinglong Temple on the outskirts of the capital is quite effective for granting wishes, and there's also a natural waterfall in the backyard. Would you like to go for a stroll sometime?"

Don't think she doesn't know where all the people Cheng Qixia couldn't bring into the capital are hidden.

“Very well, I happen to have a wish, and perhaps Buddha will grant it if he thinks I am sincere.”

"I wonder what wish Your Highness wants to make? If it's for marriage, praying to Buddha won't work; you'll have to ask the Old Man Under the Moon."

"Is that so? In my fiefdom, it is usually others who come to me to pray for things. As for marriage, I will strive for it myself. When I travel, I hope the Princess will have time to introduce me to someone. After all, I haven't been back for three years, and the capital has changed a lot."

"Okay."

A peaceful and harmonious scene.

When the court session ended, Qin Yu's face was stiff from smiling, while the ministers' legs were weak from standing. Not everyone had a chair to sit on like the Emperor and the Princess, nor did everyone have a strong physique like the Prince.

When Qin Yu returned to the Princess's residence, Chunfeng and Yuzhu massaged her legs on either side.

"This Prince is really going too far, actually asking the princess to be his guide!"

"That's right. It made the princess talk in court for so long that her mouth got dry and her legs got sore. It's really too tactless of her."
