Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Your Highness, your subordinates have recently learned of another matter."

For a moment, Cheng Qixia was a little confused, not knowing what the guard meant, so she asked him carefully.

The guards had already informed Cheng Qixia.

"According to my observation, it seems that the princess from the neighboring country will be returning in a few days."

When Cheng Qixia learned of this, she was shocked. She never expected that the princess of the neighboring country would actually go back. Was this for real?

"Are you sure the princess wants to go back, or are you just deceiving me here?"

It was obvious that Cheng Qixia was genuinely surprised by this, since the princess from the neighboring country was originally supposed to choose her husband here, but now she hadn't chosen a husband and was going back instead.

What is the reason behind this? And is the princess from the neighboring country here to gather intelligence?

When Lou Yan learned that the princess of the neighboring country was about to leave, he hurriedly informed the prime minister. After the prime minister learned of this, he decided to discuss it with Qin Yanling.

"I wonder what brings the Prime Minister here. Is something wrong that has happened?"

"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but before this, didn't Your Majesty and I leave one person in the princess's residence? Lou Yan then informed me that the princess of the neighboring country would be returning to the neighboring country in a few days."

For Qin Yanling, he did not want the neighboring princess to return, but rather hoped that she would stay here.

"Your Majesty and I share the same thoughts."

Qin Yanling decided to hold a marriage proposal conference.

Since she is a princess of extraordinary status, only members of aristocratic families can participate.

"Your Majesty, my suggestion is that Your Majesty may make this matter public in the court."

He believed the emperor was a smart man and that the emperor must know what to do. Upon hearing the prime minister's words, Qin Yanling instantly understood how to proceed.

Inside the princess's mansion.

Qin Yu came to see Xu Jiu, but Xu Jiu told Qin Yu, "I am truly grateful for Your Highness's care these past few days. In a couple of days, I will inform the Emperor and have him send someone to take me back."

Qin Yu couldn't help but ask Xu Jiu why he wasn't staying there, and Xu Jiu told Qin Yu, "Some things are ultimately beyond our control."

Afterwards, Xu Jiu asked Qin Yu to keep it a secret, and Xu Jiu agreed to tell Qin Yu the reason. After Qin Yu agreed, Xu Jiu took out a letter and handed it to Qin Yu. Qin Yu opened it and read it and never expected that the monarch of the neighboring country would make Xu Jiu his concubine.

"In this world, I originally thought that my father was the one who loved me the most, but in the end, I was nothing more than a pawn."

Now that Xu Jiu cannot become Qin Yanling's concubine, she has no choice but to leave this place.

Qin Yu was unable to help Xu Jiu with this matter.

"I also want to help you, but I am unable to do so. I want to ask you something: do you like Shangguan Mufeng?"

"Princess, what are you saying? Of course I like Young Master Shangguan. I've liked him since the first moment I saw him. But what good is liking him? He's still nothing in front of the powerful and wealthy, isn't he?"

Qin Yu could only sigh in his heart, lamenting that he was born at the wrong time.

The following day at the court assembly, Qin Yanling brought up Xu Jiu's marriage. Unexpectedly, the ministers in the court started discussing it, while Shangguan Mufeng remained silent.

It was truly baffling that on his first day of court, he was discussing Xu Jiu's marriage. How could Shangguan Mufeng bear this? He looked at Qin Yanling.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you."

Qin Yanling sat on the dragon throne, looking down at Shangguan Mufeng. This must be Shangguan Mufeng's first day attending court.

On his first day of court, Qin Yanling was quite curious about what he was going to say. The surrounding ministers also turned their attention to Qin Yanling, scrutinizing him closely.

"I never expected your son to attend the court assembly. It's quite a surprise to me. However, as far as I know, your son was ill some time ago. I wonder if he is well now?"

Upon hearing what the official behind him said, Shangguan Nantian's face darkened. He didn't want to pay any attention to the official, as he could hear the sarcasm in the official's tone.

"I believe that the princess's marriage should be decided by her own wishes. As the saying goes, marriage is predestined. The princess is not yet a good match, perhaps because her destined partner has not yet arrived."

Qin Yanling found Shangguan Mufeng's remarks somewhat amusing for a moment. Why? Qin Yanling looked Shangguan Mufeng up and down.

"At this moment, I find what you said to be quite reasonable."

The ministers around him were once again puzzled by Qin Yanling's thoughts.

This young man is just a novice, completely clueless about the intricacies of the court, yet he has won His Majesty's praise by uttering such nonsensical remarks.

"If Your Majesty says so, does Your Majesty agree with my opinion?"

"I do agree with your opinion, but there is something I want to tell you: do you know what the benefits are of having the princess marry into this family?"

How could Shangguan Mufeng not know? But Shangguan Nantian felt that Shangguan Mufeng was acting too emotionally.

Qin Yanling then gave Shangguan Mufeng some examples, which concerned the world and emotions.

Shangguan Mufeng was completely unable to answer at that moment, but Qin Yanling had already spoken, and Qin Yanling's words won the approval of these ministers. The prime minister was also a little dumbfounded by Qin Yanling.

The Prime Minister never expected that Qin Yanling would utter such a statement, which naturally concerned the relationship between family and country.

And in that instant, they all understood that even a monarch has many things he can't do.

At the beginning, everyone thought that the emperor, who was high above all others, could do whatever he wanted. After all, the emperor was above all others, and no one dared to provoke him. If you did, you would only face death.
