Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Please wait here for a moment, young master. I will go and report to the princess."

The eunuch spoke respectfully, then left.

At this moment, Qin Yu was sleeping peacefully when she suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps and couldn't help but open her eyes.

Qin Yu suddenly realized that she was now resting her head on Mo Yun's elbow, and couldn't help but clear her throat and cough a few times.

"How long have I slept?"

Mo Yun's thoughts were elsewhere when he suddenly heard Qin Yu's voice and quickly came back to his senses.

"About two hours."

Looking down at Mo Yun's arm, Qin Yu felt a pang of reluctance. It must be said, she had slept quite soundly that night.

"I'll have someone massage your arm later."

Mo Yun didn't react in time. He pulled his arm back like that, but because it was a little numb from the pressure, he couldn't help but frown.

"Thank you princess."

Qin Yu was somewhat dissatisfied upon hearing the word "thank you".

The gatekeeper had already entered.

Judging from his appearance, the footsteps just now belonged to this person.

"Why are you in such a panic?"

“Princess, someone is outside to see you. It’s a man named Cheng Qixia.”

Qin Yu was still a little sleepy, but upon hearing Cheng Qixia's name, all sleepiness vanished.

"Please invite them in."

Cheng Qixia waited outside, deep in thought.

Why hasn't this person been inside for so long...? Could it be that he was tricked today?

Suddenly, a creak was heard and the door opened.

"Please come in, young master or princess."

Cheng Qixia's lips curled into a wicked smile, and he naturally followed the guards inside.

He thought he would be able to meet Qin Yu and the other person, but he didn't expect to be taken back to the front hall.

Where is the princess now?

Cheng Qixia asked with some confusion.

"The princess has only been awake for a short time, so she must be washing up."

"Does Your Highness feel as if a day apart is like three autumns? That you would actually come to visit me."

Just as they were talking about Qin Yu, Qin Yu's voice came through.

Cheng Qixia turned to look at Qin Yu, "Your Highness is as beautiful as a flower. It's only natural that a day apart feels like three autumns. I've missed you quite a bit since we last met."

As Mo Yun listened, he felt a strange sense of unease about this person...

"Since you're here, you're a guest. Someone, bring out the finest Longjing tea and brew a cup for the Prince."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness."

Qin Yu felt that this Prince Yu really had good stamina.

Cheng Qixia stood up, opened the box in her hand, and walked respectfully to Qin Yu.

"I know that Your Highness is already quite accustomed to jewelry, but I still wish to present this glass and jade bracelet to you, for only someone as beautiful as you is worthy of it."

Qin Yu wondered if Cheng Qixia had eaten candied fruit before coming today.

That's quite the sweet talker.

Chunfeng brewed a cup of Yuhu Longjing tea for Cheng Qixia, took a sip, and said with a smile, "This tea is truly excellent!"

"Your Highness, you have come here to say something, perhaps?"

"I haven't seen the princess for two days and I miss her very much, so I wanted to come and see her."

Qin Yu looked Cheng Qixia up and down, and then sensed what he was thinking.

"Ah, how interesting."

"Princess, I am not the kind of person who likes to beat around the bush. I wish to pursue you. I wonder if you would give me a chance?"

Upon hearing that he wanted to pursue her, Qin Yu had to admit that Cheng Qixia's perseverance was truly admirable.

He turned his head and glanced at the jade and glass bracelet.

"Little guard, I have no interest in this bracelet. I'll give it to you."

The people around were instantly shocked.

Wasn't this bracelet a gift from Cheng Qixia to Qin Yu? Qin Yu actually gave it to Mo Yun.

Mo Yun was filled with trepidation, but since it was a gift from the princess, he had no choice but to accept it.

"If the princess doesn't like it, then we'll change it next time. Or, Your Highness, you might as well tell me what you like."

They all thought the Prince would be angry about this, but they never expected him to be so magnanimous.

"I don't have any particular favorites. If I find something I like, it's my personal guard."

Openly praising Mo Yun made everyone wonder if Qin Yu liked Mo Yun.

But then she thought again, this guard is of lowly status, how could Qin Yu possibly look up to him?

Qin Yu sensed everyone's thoughts and suddenly had an idea.

She brewed a pot of tea herself, looked up at Mo Yun, and said, "Come and sit with us."

"Your Highness, this is inappropriate."

Mo Yun hurriedly refused.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's expression turned indifferent, and she looked up at Mo Yun.

"If I say it's suitable, then it's suitable. Why waste time with unnecessary words?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yun naturally sat down in a position less than a meter away from Qin Yu.

"Isn't this princess being a little too nice to this guard?"

Cheng Qixia remained silent, quietly drinking her tea to the side.

Is the princess trying to discourage him? Or is she playing hard to get?

Qin Yu noticed the phrase "playing hard to get" and couldn't help but wonder if the Prince Yu might have narcissism.

Mo Yun found Qin Yu increasingly unfathomable. The atmosphere here was extremely oppressive, and he felt a wave of pressure.

Qin Yu gently tapped the table with her slender hand. "Why isn't Your Highness saying anything?"

"Haha, not at all. I was just wondering what kind of person the princess is."

"Your Highness, haven't you heard the outside world's evaluation of me? I'm a ruthless killer, cold-blooded and merciless. Of course, the most important point is that I'm highly skilled in martial arts."

Qin Yu deliberately emphasized the last few words.

Cheng Qixia wondered if Qin Yu wanted a husband who could beat her.

With his skill level, it seems impossible, but Mo Yun beside Qin Yu is capable.

...Tsk, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. He was the Imperial Prince, how could he give up so easily?

At this moment, inside the Grand Tutor's mansion, a servant hurriedly found Leng Xiucheng, "Young Master, I saw the Imperial Prince on the street today."

The Imperial Prince? Is that the Imperial Prince who traveled all the way from his fiefdom, ostensibly to report on his duties, but actually to marry Qin Yu?

"Isn't it normal to see this on the street?"

"But this person went to the princess's residence." Upon hearing "princess's residence," he paused, recalling Qin Yu's face, and a feeling of disgust arose in his heart.

But then he remembered Qin Yu's various actions and couldn't help but make a bet.

"Ha, that Prince Yu, if he can win over Qin Yu, I, Leng Xiucheng, will kowtow ten times on the spot."

He knows Qin Yu all too well.

"Besides, even if we catch up with him, ha, with Qin Yu's personality, I'm afraid even ten lives wouldn't be enough to handle him."

Leng Xiucheng couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Meanwhile, news of Cheng Qixia pursuing Qin Yu spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Even the ministers in the imperial court had heard of it.

"This Prince Yu is indeed quite bold; I never expected him to pursue Princess Yu."

The princess is naturally fierce; how could she possibly submit to someone so easily? For some reason, I have a feeling that a good show is about to begin.
