Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"I never expected that she would be the Minister's daughter. But as far as I know, doesn't the Minister only have one son? When did a daughter suddenly appear? It really makes me quite puzzled. I will have to ask my father about it when I get back."

They were all in a state of confusion at this time.

While at the princess's residence, Qin Yu felt that Shangguan Tian'er had been in the palace for several days, and Qin Yu had not yet visited her. Seeing that the weather outside was quite nice, Qin Yu decided to go and see Shangguan Tian'er herself.

Afterwards, Qin Yu packed up all the jewelry and other items and entered the palace. Upon arriving at the harem, she saw the concubines playing and frolicking.

In the pavilion in the Imperial Garden sat Xu Jiu, looking quite relaxed, seemingly resting during her pregnancy. Qin Yu naturally walked up to Xu Jiu, who immediately stood up and bowed to Qin Yu. "Now that you are pregnant, I think it's unnecessary for you to bow to me anymore. Just rest here and enjoy your pregnancy."

Qin Yu then turned her gaze to the concubines at the bottom. Upon seeing Qin Yu's arrival, the concubines hurriedly approached her and bowed. "After all, she is a princess, the emperor's own sister. Her status is far higher than theirs. They should all be mindful of her, shouldn't they?"

Qin Yu had never been pregnant before, so she didn't know what pregnancy was like, and that's why she was asking. "I'm particularly curious about something: are you still pregnant...?"

Xu Jiu told Qin Yu that it was hard work, but it was alright, at least she could manage.

"Actually, I have never understood why my elder sister arranged for Shangguan Tian'er to come to the palace now. What is the purpose of doing so? It is because if my elder sister wants to know some things about the palace, she can ask me here, because I still have a say in His Majesty's life."

Qin Yu told Xu Jiu that he had arranged for Shangguan Tian'er to be placed in the palace, the purpose of which was to protect her there.

"You are already pregnant, aren't you? If I don't let her enter the palace to protect you, the jealousy of these concubines will definitely affect the baby in your womb."

Xu Jiu instantly understood Qin Yu's meaning. At this moment, Xu Jiu asked Qin Yu if she still hated her. "For me, these things are all in the past. I don't hate you that much. You just need to stay here and take good care of your pregnancy. I will take care of everything."

For some reason, Xu Jiu felt very happy listening to Qin Yu's words. Besides happiness, he also felt a sense of relief.

If it weren't for Qin Yu's help, Xu Jiu really wouldn't know how she would have survived.

"I have something I want to tell you, and the person you can rely on in this palace is Shangguan Tian'er. I hope that the two of you can work together to improve the atmosphere in the harem."

Xu Jiu understood Qin Yu's meaning, and nodded to show that he knew what to do.

Now, Qin Yanling has many concubines in his harem, and the ministers in the court have started to talk about Qin Yu again.

"Your Majesty, your harem is now filled with many concubines, but the princess has remained unmarried. The princess is already of marriageable age; if this continues, won't she grow old before her time?"

As luck would have it, Qin Yu arrived at Yushufang and overheard an official mentioning the words "old man, pearl emperor." Qin Yu's face turned ashen. He walked directly up to the official, a sword in his hand.

The sword was pressed against the official's neck, and the official was so frightened that he took several steps back.

"I didn't quite catch what you just said. Why don't you say it to me again?"

Unexpectedly, this official immediately chickened out and kowtowed to Qin Yu. Qin Yanling was naturally surprised to see the official kowtowing to Qin Yu, as he had never imagined that an official would kowtow to Qin Yu.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you, and that is whether I get married or not. Even if I never get married, does Your Majesty not support me for the rest of my life?"

Although there were indeed some conflicts between Qin Yu and Qin Yanling on a regular basis, Qin Yanling did not show any sign of not protecting Qin Yu under these circumstances.

"Minister Li, what exactly are you saying here? Even if my elder sister is old and frail, I will still take care of her. Don't keep pressuring her here."

The official had never imagined things would develop to this point, nor that the two men would actually share a common hatred. At this moment, the official felt that he had unspeakable suffering in his heart.

The official eventually had no choice but to excuse himself, saying he had other matters to attend to. Once outside, he turned and glanced at the enormous palace, then angrily stomped his feet and left.

When Mo Yun saw the official's actions, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. For some reason, he found the official somewhat adorable.

After all, the official's angry appearance was rather ridiculous, while Qin Yu and Qin Yanling were chatting. At this moment, Qin Yu told Qin Yanling, "Do you know that Shangguan Tian'er is someone close to me?"

Qin Yanling hadn't expected Qin Yu to bring this up here. "I naturally know that Shangguan Tian'er is someone close to my elder sister. That's why I directly conferred upon her the rank of Consort."

It was for these reasons that she was granted the title of Consort. If it weren't for these reasons, how could she have been granted the title of Consort?

"I thought you didn't know."

Qin Yanling said that he already knew this on the first day.

Qin Yu never imagined that her younger brother would be so intelligent.
