The answer to this mystery did not make her feel afraid, but rather filled her with curiosity and excitement.

"Royal brother, you reminded me specifically. Do you think I don't know or haven't considered this relationship?" Xiao Yanzhou's narrow pupils were instantly filled with a cold light.

She could even hear the sudden change in violence and brutality of a beast searching for prey in his slightly hoarse voice. If it hadn't come right next to her ear, she might have doubted whether it was Brother Zhou's voice.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant..." the man quickly explained.

"What does that mean?" Xiao Yanzhou pressed on, and the royal man suddenly kept silent.

"Although Jiang Qingyu is a concubine's daughter, her mother is still my aunt. Even if she is not favored, she is still the eldest princess. What's the problem with me conferring her the title of Princess?"

"Besides, I have been indebted to this cousin for many years. Why not give her a house?"

After these two useless words, the whole hall fell into complete silence.

Qing Yu learned that the late emperor was a romantic man with many wives, concubines and children, so it was normal for him to be forgotten. However, Xiao Yanzhou knew that it must be the result of his special arrangement after investigation.

At this moment, I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but everyone’s eyes were always on Xiao Yanqing and Jiang Zhuo. Jiang Zhuo naturally got what he wanted. If Xiao Yanqing didn’t speak at this moment, no one would dare to object to this proposal.

Seeing this, everyone stood up and saluted, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to the Princess."

Jiang Zhuo kept winking at Qingyu, and Qingyu, who reacted, quickly stood up and knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." But before her knees touched the ground, Xiao Yanzhou had already helped her up.

She met Xiao Yanzhou's eyes, and he lost his stern look and returned to his gentle attitude towards her.

"Do you like this gift, Xiaoyu?"

House? Was it to fulfill her wish?

She didn't understand. At that time, she just treated it as a dream and said it casually. Unexpectedly, he really took it to heart.

"I like it, I like it very much, thank you Brother Zhou."

To her, the liking is real, and the gratitude is also real.

Suddenly, Xiao Yanqing's expression yesterday echoed in her mind, and she began to have doubts.

Why was Xiao Yanqing so opposed to her meeting Brother Zhou? She more or less understood the awe that everyone had for the emperor, but was it just because of this reason?

Before we knew it, the banquet was coming to an end.

Xiao Yanzhou looked at her with a smile on his face, "Xiao Yu, are you willing to play in the palace for a few days?"

"The palace? Won't it disturb Brother Zhou?" She was naturally happy to do so, as this gave her the opportunity.

"How could that be? I actually hope Xiao Yu can come and disturb me."

"Haha, that's fine, as long as Brother Zhou doesn't think I'm causing trouble."

"It doesn't matter. Brother Luanzhou can handle anything."

Just after she agreed, she thought of something else. She hesitated and looked at him, Xiao Yanqing.

But Xiao Yanqing's face was as cold as ice. He didn't even look at her, and didn't say a word during the entire banquet.

This was normal in the eyes of others. After all, the daughter of his old enemy was conferred the title of princess, so he would naturally feel resentment. Only she understood the real reason why he was angry.

The situation controlled by her was successful. Her plan for Xiao Yanzhou was successful. She could not refute the coincidence, but it was indeed her intentional act.

Seeing her ambivalent look, Xiao Yanzhou thought she was afraid that her father would not agree.

"Lord Jiang, would you mind letting me stay in the palace for a few days?" His words revealed an irresistible authority.

Jiang Zhuo stood up quickly and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. It is an honor for my daughter to be invited by Your Majesty."

"Then it's settled. Eunuch Li, arrange a bedroom for Xiao Yu, the one closest to me."

"It's Your Majesty."

After the banquet, Xiao Yanqing returned to the mansion. Xiao Wenshu Qianyun beside him kept silent, and the air seemed to be frozen by the tense atmosphere.

Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Wen Shu, go to the military camp and get ready."

"Ah?" Xiao Wenshu was startled and his nerves tensed instantly.

He continued to instruct, "Qianyun, prepare the horse."

Xiao Wenshu and Qian Yun looked at each other in silence, their hearts trembling.

It's over! Hell is coming!

……

Qingyu's first night in the palace was very peaceful.

Even with maids serving her and guards protecting her, she still couldn't sleep well and could never feel at ease.

It was different from the feeling of being in Jiang's house, but one could still feel the danger lurking around, as if it was blending into the air and drifting away.

Xiao Yanqing's angry look kept appearing in my mind. I wonder what he was doing...

However, she never forgot her mission in the palace.

In the morning, as soon as I finished washing and tidying up, the eunuch was already waiting outside the house.

"Little Princess, would you like to have breakfast now?" The eunuch leaned over with a smile on his face.

She nodded slightly, "Is Brother Zhou busy today?"

Hearing her natural call, the eunuch was startled, but he immediately reacted.

After all, no one had ever heard of anyone addressing His Majesty like this, and even the most favored one in the palace was very respectful.

"My dear little princess, His Majesty will be here soon."

"Okay, I'm done."

"Hehe, you are too polite, little princess."

The eunuch clapped his hands, and the maids immediately brought in a large table of various delicious breakfasts.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at the food on the table in surprise, "Is this... breakfast?"

"Yes, little princess."

"This is too much!" She couldn't finish it.

"We don't know what kind of breakfast the little princess likes, so His Majesty asked the servants to prepare it." The eunuch explained.

"Don't you like it, Xiaoyu?"

Suddenly, Xiao Yanzhou's familiar voice was heard outside the room, and the eunuch hurriedly retreated with the maid.

"Brother Zhou." She quickly stood up and went to greet him with joy.

"Did you sleep well last night, Xiaoyu?" he asked with concern, worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep well in a strange place.

"Very good, Brother Zhou, are you here to have breakfast with me?"

"Yes, come and sit down, Xiaoyu can choose what you like."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou."

The two of them sat down together.

"What do you want to do today?"

"Hmm..." She thought for a moment, "I want to take a walk around the palace."

"Okay, Brother Zhou will take you to play."

"That's great." She had a smile on her face the whole time and looked very happy.

He stared at her infectious smiling face, as if his mood would improve if he just kept looking at her. It was the first time he had ever had such a happy breakfast.

"But..." She suddenly thought of something.

"I won't disturb Brother Zhou, right?"

"Haha, don't worry, Xiaoyu. Usually it's Xiaoyu who takes me out to play. Today I'll take care of Xiaoyu."

"Okay then." She then let him make the arrangements with confidence.
