Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Your Highness, what are you trying to say by telling me these things?"

Qin Yu shook her head. "I just haven't visited the Prime Minister for a while, so I thought I'd come and see him. Why should the Prime Minister think so much about it?"

Looking at Qin Yu's ambiguous smile, Xu Jinxin felt that Qin Yu was like a smiling tiger.

"By the way, there's something else I wanted to ask you. How are things between you and Young Master Leng? Do you need me to personally arrange your marriage with His Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jinxin was truly shocked by Qin Yu's behavior. Xu Jinxin felt that Qin Yu seemed to have gone mad. Qin Yu walked up to Xu Jinxin and carefully examined her.

"What exactly do you want to do? Qin Yu, you came here and said these things to my father, and now you're planning to have Leng Xiucheng and me be married."

Qin Yu then told Xu Jinxin, "Because I think you two are a perfect match, that's why I'm thinking of arranging your marriage. Don't you both want to? It really makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Qin Yu pretended to be in pain, but Xu Jinxin felt that Qin Yu was being insincere and took a few steps back.

“Your Highness, if you have something to say, you can say it directly. There’s no need to hide it here. If you do, I will only think that you are implying something else…”

At this moment, Prime Minister Xu turned his head and glanced at the maid behind him. The maid immediately understood, after all, she had been with Prime Minister Xu for many years. The maid hurriedly ran outside.

When Qin Yu saw the maid running outside, she naturally didn't send anyone to stop her. At this moment, Qin Yu was quite curious to know what kind of trouble the maid was up to.

Qin Yu was quite puzzled. At this moment, the maid ran outside and rushed into the palace. However, as soon as she arrived at the palace, the Imperial Guards intercepted her.

"Who are you, and what is your purpose in coming here? Let me give you a piece of advice: this palace is not a place for ordinary people. If you know what's good for you, you'd better get out of here, or don't blame me for being impolite."

The maid then produced Prime Minister Xu's token. When the Imperial Guards saw the token in the maid's hand, they hurriedly led the maid inside.

At this moment, the maidservant went directly to see Qin Yanling. Qin Yanling looked at the maidservant with some surprise, wondering what her purpose was.

"Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess is currently in the Prime Minister's residence. Please go and save the Prime Minister as soon as possible."

The maidservant knelt down with a thud, begging Qin Yanling to hurry and save the Prime Minister. Qin Yanling was a little surprised when he heard this. What was Qin Yu going to the Prime Minister's mansion for? More importantly, looking at the maidservant's appearance, it seemed as if Qin Yu was going to kill and set fires.

Subsequently, Qin Yanling naturally arrived at the Prime Minister's residence and saw Qin Yu. He was in the Prime Minister's residence with Qin Yu, sitting leisurely with his legs crossed, and eating grapes. Prime Minister Xu, on the other hand, had a very unpleasant expression.

The eunuch announced, "His Majesty has arrived!"

Everyone had stood up and was respectfully bowing to Qin Yanling.

I never imagined that the maid went out to fetch reinforcements, but will fetching reinforcements even make a difference? In any case, the prime minister has to go to Jiangnan.

"Your Majesty, I have something I want to tell you. In a few days, we will be going to the south of the Yangtze River. You still have many matters to attend to in the court. Why don't you just send the Prime Minister there? After all, we had planned to send him there before."

Qin Yu said this very seriously, and for some reason, Qin Yanling felt that there was a hidden meaning in Qin Yu's words, or that Qin Yu seemed to be saying it on purpose.

If we deny it, Qin Yu might be unhappy, and if Qin Yu is unhappy, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause? Besides, we originally planned to send the Prime Minister to Jiangnan.

"I think what my elder sister said makes a lot of sense. Why not just send the prime minister to the south of the Yangtze River? Four days from now will be a good day to go down to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Your Majesty, if I were to go, I would not be able to return for two months. During these two months, there will be no prime minister in the court. So, who should I entrust with my duties?"

Xu Jinxin knelt down with a thud, speaking up for her father. After all, the Prime Minister was already quite old, and the journey to Jiangnan was long. What if her father encountered something on the way?

"If that's the case, what are your thoughts? Do you want to replace him? But I think that in this court, besides my position, the position of the prime minister is the highest. Seeing the prime minister is like seeing me, which makes it easier to win the hearts of the people."

Now that the matter was settled, Prime Minister Xu turned to look at Xu Jinxin and told her not to say anything more.

Xu Jinxin was filled with resentment and wanted nothing more than to teach Qin Yu a lesson.

Xu Jinxin stood up without hesitation, intending to slap Qin Yu, but before he could even touch Qin Yu's clothes, Qin Yu firmly grabbed his wrist.

"Were you trying to hit me just now? How about I teach you about hierarchy instead?"

Qin Yu then slapped Xu Jinxin across the face, making her see stars and drawing blood from the corner of her mouth.

Qin Yu then slapped Xu Jinxin again, and after the two slaps, Xu Jinxin's face was already swollen.

"The reason I slapped you these two times is to tell you not to try to hit me here. After all, you are not worthy of my noble status. You are nothing more than a young lady from an official family."

The Prime Minister also felt that Xu Jinxin was acting too rashly. More importantly, given Qin Yu's status, dealing with Qin Yu like this would be asking for trouble.

At this moment, the Prime Minister felt a bit of a headache, but he also felt very sorry for Xu Jinxin, after all, Qin Yu's two slaps were so loud.

Xu Jinxin was crying here, tears streaming down her face, one by one falling to the ground.

Qin Yanling felt that Qin Yu had done the right thing this time, after all, Qin Yanling was the eldest princess, while Xu Jinxin was just a daughter of an official, which was a huge difference in their status.

If the daughter of an official were to attack the eldest princess, wouldn't she be laughed at by the common people?
