Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

The third match began soon after.

Many scions of prominent families were eager to try.

After all, their poems are very rhyming.

I believe that Mo Yun will definitely not be able to win his first championship in the future.

After all, this time it was all of them who voted.

Qin Yu was very curious about what kind of miracles his family's young guard would create now.

This young guard is skilled in both literature and martial arts; he's practically omnipotent.

The topic given now is lotus flowers.

They now want to compose a poem with lotus flowers as the main theme.

At this moment, Mo Yun turned his attention to Qin Yu.

Mo Yun personally wrote a poem for Qin Yu.

A stick of incense passes.

The talented men present all recited their own poems.

When it was Mo Yun's turn, he naturally recited the poem, which was about Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was somewhat surprised; no wonder Mo Yun had been glancing at her so frequently earlier.

However, Mo Yun naturally won this match as well.

"That guard Mo is truly clever; I never expected him to include the princess in the list."

Regardless of the quality of the poem, since it is about a princess, the princess can only win first place.

Loud applause erupted from the crowd.

Xu Jinxin originally thought she would win their praise today, but unexpectedly, Qin Yu stole the spotlight in the end.

Xu Jinxin is nothing now.

Xu Jinxin bit her lip, feeling utterly dejected.

The most important thing is that I never expected Leng Xiucheng to actually...

This naturally made Xu Jinxin feel extremely unbalanced.

If only Qin Yu were dead by now.

Once Qin Yu is dead, all this glory will belong to Xu Jinxin.

"Now that the competitions have all concluded, the ultimate winner is Guard Mo, and the reward naturally belongs to Guard Mo as well."

Mo Yun accepted the reward and then handed it to Qin Yu.

"This gift is for you, Princess."

Qin Yu never expected that Mo Yun would give him this gift.

Qin Yu felt a surge of joy, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Guard Mo."

Xu Jinxin now wishes she had a loyal bodyguard.

Unfortunately, I don't have any of that now.

Qin Yu slowly stood up, holding a folding fan in her hand, and turned to look at Xu Jinxin.

"Cousin, it's getting late, so I'll head back to my residence now."

He turned and glanced at Shangguan Mufeng again, then asked Shangguan Mufeng to come with him.

"Respectfully seeing my cousin back to the Princess's residence."

The scions of prominent families behind Xu Jinxin all knelt on the ground to respectfully see Qin Yu off.

"Shangguan Mufeng, I grant you permission to go home and speak with your father."

After leaving the Prime Minister's residence, he turned to Shangguan Mufeng and said.

As far as Qin Yu knew, Shangguan Mufeng's father seemed to be a third-rank official in the imperial court.

If that's the case, we might as well choose a day to go to the palace and talk to Qin Yanling, and ask him to promote his father.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for allowing me to return and bid farewell to my father."

"I promise you that once you enter the Princess's residence, you may return home at any time to chat with my father and me."

After Shangguan Mufeng left, Mo Yun couldn't help but ask Qin Yu.

"Your Highness, are you now making Shangguan Mufeng a potential consort?"

Qin Yu shook her head.

Do you think I would have any feelings for someone like that?

Qin Yu then focused her gaze on Mo Yun and used her fan to lift Mo Yun's chin.

"This young master is interested in a handsome man like you."

Just then, Cheng Qixia came out and saw Qin Yu flirting with Mo Yun.

"Your Highness has quite the refined taste, actually flirting with your own guards here."

Upon hearing these words, Qin Yu turned around and saw Cheng Qixia.

"What does it have to do with Your Highness that I flirted with my own guard? Does Your Highness intend to interfere in my affairs now?"

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Qixia hurriedly said.

"How could I dare to interfere in Her Highness's affairs? I just happened to run into Her Highness and was merely exchanging greetings with her."

Then, he took out the hairpin.

"Your Highness, you didn't accept this hairpin earlier, so why don't you take it?"

Qin Yu glanced down and refused.

"I do not like to refuse people a third time, and I hope Your Highness will be aware of this."

Seeing Qin Yu's cold and aloof attitude, he was only fueled by her desire to pursue him.

He had been interested in Qin Yu for a long time.

However, it has finally been possible for the two sides to make contact.

How could he possibly let such a good opportunity slip away?

"Since Your Highness is unwilling to accept it, I will not force you. I am actually looking forward to the day when I can stroll through the market with Your Highness."

After saying this, Cheng Qixia naturally left.

After Cheng Qixia left, Qin Yu looked in the direction he had gone, her eyes darkening slightly.

"Your Highness, there is something I don't understand."

Mo Yun asked Qin Yu earnestly.

"What don't you understand? Why don't you tell me?"

"This prince..."

"You can rest assured that no matter what this prince does, he will not be able to arouse my interest. Even if I were to marry, I would naturally marry the one who benefits the most."

I heard the words "marry for the greatest benefit".

Mo Yun was unexpectedly overcome with sadness at that moment.

Because Mo Yun understood that there was a world of difference between his and Qin Yu's social status.

Even though he wanted to marry Qin Yu, he ultimately lacked the ability to do so.

Qin Yu is the eldest princess of the land.

Even if Qin Yu were to marry one day, it would naturally be for the sake of the world.

After all, being born into royalty means there are many things that are beyond one's control...

Suddenly Qin Yu heard a swishing sound.

If I'm not mistaken, the people the emperor sent to monitor us have left.

I never expected that my younger brother would have such a leisurely and refined taste.

He came once and then came a second time. Was he afraid that Qin Yu would do something to hurt him?

It was born from the same root, so why is it too anxious.

Even if Qin Yu might hurt anyone else, she wouldn't hurt him.

Why can't my younger brother understand this principle?

Seeing the desolation in Qin Yu's eyes, Mo Yun felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"Your Highness, you..."

"It's alright, let's go back to the princess's residence."

Qin Yu's sedan chair had already left the Prime Minister's residence.

Xu Jinxin naturally saw off the young masters from various prominent families at the Prime Minister's residence.

In the end, only Leng Xiucheng remained.

"Brother Jin, have you really fallen for Qin Yu?"

Xu Jinxin looked at Leng Xiucheng with teary eyes.

Leng Xiucheng pulled Xu Jinxin into his arms.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking? In my heart, there has always been only you, not Qin Yu. I just want to stabilize my position through Qin Yu. From now on, you must not have any wild thoughts."

Leng Xiucheng even deliberately scratched Xu Jinxin's nose.

Xu Jinxin was naturally a little embarrassed.

"I knew Brother Jin only liked me."
