Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

At this moment, Mo Yun and Shangguan Mufeng left the restaurant.

They had naturally seen Qin Yu from a great distance. More importantly, there seemed to be a man standing in front of Qin Yu. The two exchanged glances.

They flew forward and stood on either side of Qin Yu, startling Cheng Qixia at their arrival.

Qin Yu instantly felt that the two people were like gatekeepers, standing on the left and right. Qin Yu did not expect the two people to arrive so quickly.

"I am late, please forgive me, Master."

"It doesn't matter."

Cheng Qixia said with a grin, "I wonder if Your Highness would do me the honor of accompanying me for a walk here?"

Qin Yu refused without hesitation, saying that she was a little tired and wanted to return to the princess's residence.

Cheng Qixia must have felt a little disappointed, but what could she do? These things had already happened, hadn't they?

Afterwards, Qin Yu parted ways with Shangguan Mufeng, and then she and Mo Yun headed towards the Princess's residence.

After the two had walked away, Cheng Qixia approached Shangguan Mufeng and gently patted his shoulder. Shangguan Mufeng brushed the dust off his shoulder and said casually, "Please, Your Highness, show some respect. Don't pat someone's shoulder so casually. It seems like we're quite familiar."

At this moment, Cheng Qixia suddenly felt that Shangguan Mufeng seemed to have inherited Qin Yu's sharp tongue. Seeing Cheng Qixia staring at him, she wondered if Shangguan Mufeng had gone mad.

"Young Master Shangguan is indeed interesting. I would like to ask if Young Master Shangguan is in love with the princess?"

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Mufeng refused without hesitation, saying that he did not like the princess.

"If Young Master Shangguan doesn't like the Eldest Princess, then does Young Master Shangguan like the Princess of the neighboring country, me? I've heard that Shangguan Mufeng and the Princess of the neighboring country were once deeply in love, but now she has become His Majesty's concubine. I wonder if Young Master Shangguan feels any better about this?"

Looking at Cheng Qixia's expression, Shangguan Mufeng felt that Cheng Qixia was really asking for a beating. Shangguan Mufeng took a breath and tried his best to calm his emotions. He looked at Cheng Qixia with a cold face. "I have already let it go. Even if there was something between me and the princess of the neighboring country before, it is all in the past, isn't it? Why dwell on one thing and not let it go?"

He couldn't help but wonder, doesn't Cheng Qixia feel even a little tired?

At this moment, Leng Xiucheng, whom he hadn't seen for many days, actually appeared. When Cheng Qixia saw Leng Xiucheng, he even doubted whether there was something wrong with his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the person in front of him was indeed Leng Xiucheng.

It seems that Leng Xiucheng had not appeared in front of everyone since the previous events, but now he has reappeared, and more importantly, he looks even thinner.

Shangguan Mufeng didn't want to see this person, so he left. Leng Xiucheng then approached Cheng Qixia. "Greetings, Your Highness. Did Your Highness summon me here because you have some instructions for me?"

"I want you to do something, and I believe you can do it. You should know once or twice that it's the governor's daughter's marriage contest. Go to the event and register together."

Then Leng Xiucheng asked Cheng Qixia what he should do if he successfully became the governor's daughter's husband.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Qixia informed Leng Xiucheng and directly married several of them.

But for Leng Xiucheng, his heart is only for the female supporting character. Yet now he is being asked to marry Lan Yan... Isn't this just making things difficult for Leng Xiucheng?

"Don't you want to marry Lan Yan? If you marry Lan Yan, you'll definitely get an official position in the court. Don't you want that?"

He then explained the pros and cons to Leng Xiucheng, who eventually became envious and agreed. Indeed, having an official position in the court would be useful.

"By the way, Your Highness, I have a question for you. What is the current state of your relationship with Qin Yu?"

Cheng Qixia stiffened, unsure how to answer Leng Xiucheng's question, and ultimately gave an ambiguous reply.

"I only want to tell you that you'd better mind your own business and stop interfering with me. What I can be sure of is that if I become king one day, I will not treat you unfairly."

Leng Xiucheng knelt down with a thud, indicating that he knew he was wrong.

People in this world think he's just a cat that can be easily manipulated, but in reality, he's not at all; he's a tiger lurking in the shadows.

He had been waiting here for the right moment to begin his hunt.

Now that Cheng Qixia has allowed Leng Xiucheng to enter the court as an official, it can only mean that the time is ripe.

As an official in the court, Leng Xiucheng had thought about it before, but he never put it into practice because they had not informed him.

"I believe in your abilities, and I am confident that you will not disappoint me."

Qin Yu and Mo Yun returned to the princess's residence, but Qin Yu had barely stepped into the courtyard when...

Lin Ruohua had already walked up to Qin Yu. She held a whip in her hand and knelt on the ground, holding the whip with both hands. "Your Highness, I have thought it through clearly. I was wrong in this matter. I shouldn't have acted so impulsively. Please punish me, Your Highness."

"I don't mean to blame you. I just hope that you won't panic like this again in the future, otherwise you will only ruin yourself, you know? Your adoptive parents in heaven will also be very disappointed."

Qin Yu yawned. She had to admit that she was quite tired today. Mo Yun was still carrying things in her hands. There were so many strange and unusual things at the market today, things that the princess's residence did not have. Qin Yu found them interesting and bought them.

Lin Ruohua was overjoyed, not expecting to be spared punishment by Qin Yu. "Your Highness, I will certainly remember your teachings and will never do such a thing again. Your Highness can rest assured."

Qin Yu smiled contentedly.

"Now that you've said that, I'm very pleased."
