Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"There's no need for such formalities. I know why you've come here."

These officials were taken aback by Qin Yanling in that instant.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yanling knew the purpose of their visit.

"Your Majesty, I truly do not understand why you would bestow the Imperial Palace upon me at this time?"

Qin Yanling naturally gave them a brief explanation.

"Moreover, the Prince Yu poses no threat to me whatsoever, so why should I care so much? The Prince Yu just wants to stay in the capital for a while longer."

These officials were speechless.

They all shook their heads, and ultimately their attempts to persuade them failed.

The officials left naturally, but then found the officials outside and spoke to them.

Unexpectedly, the officials were furious and rebuked them.

"absurd!"

Qin Yu returned to the princess's residence and received a report from a scout.

Today, all the officials entered the palace to pay their respects to Qin Yanling.

Qin Yu was suspicious, wondering what had happened.

"I heard that His Majesty bestowed the mansion upon the Prince."

Qin Yu wondered what had happened while she hadn't been at the princess's residence for the past few days.

Qin Yanling already has a mansion.

What is the reason why Qin Yanling is leaving the mansion now?

On the other side, in the Grand Tutor's mansion.

When Leng Xiucheng learned that Qin Yu had gone out, he made a special trip to the restaurant.

I carefully inquired about the name of the restaurant.

After several investigations, it was learned that the restaurant was owned by Qin Yu.

"How does this woman possess so much wealth these days?"

This is enough to make someone richer than a country.

Even if Qin Yu did not have the status of a princess.

Even the emperor would have to show him respect.

After all, Qin Yu is truly too powerful.

As luck would have it, Xu Jinxin had already found Leng Xiucheng.

"Brother Leng, why haven't you come to the Prime Minister's residence to see me all this time?"

Leng Xiucheng glanced at Xu Jinxin and gently comforted her, saying that he had been busy lately.

"Brother Leng, what's wrong?"

Leng Xiucheng casually made up excuses to fool Xu Jinxin.

The two were deeply in love in the Imperial Garden, a scene that was clearly witnessed by the Grand Tutor.

The Grand Tutor's face was gloomy. He walked directly in front of the two men and coughed.

"In broad daylight, a lone man and a lone woman, what kind of behavior is this?"

Xu Jinxin was startled when she heard those words.

She immediately opened her arms and kept a certain distance from Leng Xiucheng.

Xu Jinxin kept her head down, and Leng Xiucheng quickly tried to smooth things over when he saw this.

"Father, you're mistaken. Miss Xu just accidentally kicked a pebble and almost fell. I happened to catch her, which is why this happened."

Unexpectedly, Leng Xiucheng started lying in Chengdu.

The Grand Tutor walked straight up to Leng Xiucheng and slapped him across the face.

“You never used to lie to your father, but I never thought you would start lying now.”

Xu Jinxin's situation is not good, she has to get out of here quickly.

Xu Jinxin immediately focused her gaze on Leng Xiucheng.

"Brother Leng, I'm going back now. I'll come see you again in a couple of days."

Seeing Xu Jinxin leave in a panic, the Grand Tutor sneered.

"Ha, cowardice."

The Grand Tutor compared Xu Jinxin to the princess and truly felt that Xu Jinxin couldn't even compare to one of the princess's fingers. He really didn't know what kind of person his son was...

Wait, why would he compare Xu Jinxin to the princess? This princess bullied Leng Xiucheng quite a bit.

"From now on, you should have as little contact as possible with the young lady from the Prime Minister's residence, understand?"

"Father, there's something I don't understand, you..."

The Grand Tutor naturally understood what Leng Xiucheng wanted to ask.

"There are rumors circulating that the Grand Tutor's Mansion is currying favor with the Prime Minister's Mansion."

How could this please the Grand Tutor? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

If this continues, the Grand Tutor feels that he will become depressed and frustrated.

"But if Father always cares about what others think, wouldn't that be exhausting?"

Although that's what they said, these rumors still reached his ears, and even if he didn't want to hear them, the constant nagging from others was really unbearable for the Grand Tutor.

"Father, there's one more thing I want to know. If I were to marry..."

Upon hearing the word "marry," the Grand Tutor hurriedly interrupted Leng Xiucheng.

"You can marry anyone, but you absolutely cannot marry Xu Jinxin."

...Leng Xiucheng had a terrible headache at that moment.

I never imagined that the Grand Tutor had such a big rift with Xu Jinxin.

The Grand Tutor still had matters to discuss with other officials.

The Grand Tutor merely glanced at Leng Xiucheng.

"Stay put in the Grand Tutor's mansion. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

After leaving the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Xu Jinxin came outside and patted her heart.

In fact, Xu Jinxin never understood why the Grand Tutor had such a deep opinion about her.

When they returned to the Prime Minister's residence...

Upon seeing Xu Jinxin's return, the Prime Minister summoned her to his study.

"I want to ask you, now that you're of marriageable age, is there a man you've taken a liking to? If so, please tell me."

Xu Jinxin directly mentioned Leng Xiucheng, but unexpectedly, the Prime Minister refused outright.

“Leng Xiucheng is incompetent and useless; he is of no help to us whatsoever. You cannot marry him. If you do, your life will be ruined. Do you understand that?”

But for Xu Jinxin, there was only Leng Xiucheng in her heart.

No matter how powerful others may be, all Xu Jinxin wants is to spend her life with Leng Xiucheng.

Moreover, Leng Xiucheng treated her extremely well, so how could Xu Jinxin not want to...

"You must never mention this matter in front of me, otherwise, your father will send you to a temple to copy scriptures."

Xu Jinxin didn't understand why Leng Xiucheng's father disliked her so much.

Her father, however, loathed Leng Xiucheng.

What if Leng Xiucheng could become emperor in a day?

Unexpectedly, Xu Jinxin directly questioned the Prime Minister.

"If Leng Xiucheng were to become the king one day, would Father still have a problem with him?"

??"presumptuous!"

The prime minister got angry and threw all the bamboo slips on the table onto the ground.

"If I hear you say these things again, don't blame me for being impolite."

This would explain why the person in front of you is very angry.

After saying nothing, Xu Jinxin apologized to the Prime Minister.

Then they came to this outside.

The Prime Minister's wife happened to be passing by when she heard the commotion inside the study.

Upon seeing Xu Jinxin emerge again, the Prime Minister's wife hurriedly went to Xu Jinxin's side.

"What happened? Why is your father smashing things in the study?"

Xu Jinxin told the Prime Minister's wife the whole story.

"That's absolutely not allowed! Your father has high hopes for you. If you marry the Grand Tutor's son, your future will be ruined."

"Don't worry, I will never mention this again."
