"How does the King of Qin treat you? Is he easy to get along with? Have you been wronged in the past few days?"

Jiang held Yan Yu's hand and looked at him carefully for a long time, feeling a little sad.

To be honest, although Jiang treated Yan Yu as her own daughter, she couldn't say, "If you are wronged, tell your family and we will support you."

After marrying into the royal family, no matter what kind of injustice she suffered from the King of Qin, the Shao family would not dare to stand up for her.

It would be fine if the Duke of Zhenguo and his son were still alive, but they are no longer here.

Yan Yu knew that Jiang was worried about him, so he shook his head gently: "Everything is fine at home, aunt, don't worry too much."

Jiang wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I will be back in a few days, but after I go back, your eldest and third sisters-in-law will come to accompany your two cousins. If you really encounter any problems, let your two sisters-in-law help you make decisions. They have experienced a lot and are very thoughtful about everything."

Yan Yu nodded.

Jiang took Yan Yu's hand again and looked at it carefully.

A few days ago, Yan Yu was still a girl. Jiang remembered that she was wearing a lilac dress and sitting by the window reading a book, with her black hair hanging down on her shoulders. She looked like a painting of a lady.

Now Yan Yu's hair is combed up and the jewelry on her body is much more luxurious, but there is still a bit of childishness and fragility between her eyebrows, which makes people feel a little distressed.

"Does the Prince of Qin have any concubines?" Jiang asked, "How are they?"

Yan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there are a few. They were all given by the Empress Dowager. I haven't met them. As long as they don't cause trouble, they will be well taken care of. Your Highness can favor them if he wants. He doesn't have the heart to be jealous."

Jiang nodded: "Don't be intimate with them. Who knows what they are thinking? Your sister-in-law is a ready-made example. If you don't harm others, it's inevitable that someone will want to harm you."

Shao Junliang's wife, Luo, was well-known for her kindness. She was filial and honest to her elders, and kind and generous to her younger generations.

Before her, there was a concubine who gave birth to a boy. This concubine was well-behaved and had a very harmonious relationship with Luo, who also treated her as a sister.

Later, Luo became pregnant, but died when the baby was five months old. It was a boy. After a thorough investigation, the family found out that this seemingly well-behaved concubine was the one who did it.

Luo lost her child when she was five months old. Her body was severely damaged and she has been unable to have children since then.

But this aunt's son is doing well. He is growing up, smart and capable. Most of the family business in the future will definitely be on his shoulders.

Yan Yu listened to what Jiang said and nodded gently: "Aunt, I remember all your teachings."

Jiang patted her on the shoulder and said, "Good girl, if we want to live well after marrying into a duke's mansion, we have to be ruthless. You are marrying into the royal family, and the interests are complicated. You have to be ten times more ruthless. If you see something wrong, you would rather kill someone by mistake than let them touch you."

Yan Yu knew that Jiang treated him as her own child, which was why she told her so many things.

In fact, over the years, she has been like a rootless duckweed, floating from north to south and from south to north, without a home.

Now that I'm married, I'm living in another family, and I have to be careful with every step I take and every word I say.

Yan Yu felt a little sleepy after lunch. It was hot these days and she had just been frightened by the empress dowager in the morning. She couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep in Jiang's arms for a while.

After noon, Xiao Chengji wanted to go back to the palace, so he asked about Yan Yu's residence and wanted to take her back with him.

Ruidong was not only afraid of the King of Qin, but also afraid of the eunuchs and guards who served him.

The chief eunuch Huoha stepped forward to ask questions, and Ruidong hesitated and said, "The princess is taking a nap now, can you wake her up?"

Huo Ha glanced at Rui Dong and said, "What else? You want our prince to wait here? How dare you!"

Ruidong saw King Qin standing not far away. He was wearing a black robe and had a long sword at his waist. He did look a bit creepy.

She was frightened and hurried inside to wake up Yan Yu.

Yan Yu had only slept for a quarter of an hour and was still sleepy. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

Jiang shook her shoulders and said, "His Highness asked you to go back, Yan'er, you should go back quickly. Xiao Cui'er, wring a wet towel over here, Ning Xia, come and fix your young lady's hair."

The maid took Yan Yu out. Yan Yu was still not fully conscious, so he held the maid's hand and got into the carriage.

Huo Ha said to Xiao Chengji: "Your Highness, the horse has been prepared for you, please get on board."

Yan Yu lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked out: "It's so hot in the afternoon. It will be uncomfortable for Your Highness to ride a horse under the scorching sun. It's better to go back in a carriage."

Huoha smiled and said, "Princess, our prince is used to riding horses and doesn't like riding in carriages. It was so hard to fight outside the Great Wall. Our prince never said anything, so you don't have to worry about it."

Xiao Chengji looked at the sun in the sky and saw that it was indeed quite big. It was indeed uncomfortable to ride a horse under the sun.

He drew aside the curtain and entered the carriage.

Yan Yu was still a little sleepy. She raised her hand and pinched Xiao Chengji's sleeve: "Dark clothes are easy to get sunburned in the summer. You are wearing three layers inside and three layers outside. You are riding a horse outside for such a long time. You are going to get heatstroke."

Xiao Chengji felt her soft, boneless little hand pinching his arm.

Yan Yu herself didn't care that much. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve.

She was sleeping in her room just now. There were several ice basins in the room, which were cool and refreshing. She felt cool and her clothes were cold. The handkerchief was cool and smooth. She took it and wiped Xiao Chengji's face: "Aren't you going to the Ministry of Justice this afternoon?"

Xiao Chengji suddenly grasped her slender wrist and took her hand away: "No."

Seeing that he hated him so much, Yan Yu stopped talking so as not to make him even more annoyed.

She was still a little sleepy and continued to doze off with her eyes closed.

Xiao Chengji was even more upset when he saw her sleeping while sitting, so he raised his hand and pressed her into his arms: "Behave yourself."

Yan Yu's body was so soft that she seemed to have no bones, and her whole body exuded a rich rose fragrance. As soon as Xiao Chengji held her in his arms, he felt a little regretful.

as predicted.

Not long after, Yan Yu felt like something was poking her, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

He placed the sword beside him when he sat down. Yan Yu suspected that he had some weapon in his arms and was deliberately stabbing him, so he closed his eyes and touched Xiao Chengji.

The next moment, Xiao Chengji held her hand.

A deep and hoarse voice came: "Miss Wen, what do you want to do to this king?"

Yan Yu didn't understand and opened his eyes confusedly: "Hmm?"

Xiao Chengji supported her weak shoulders and slowly helped her up: "Sit down."

Yan Yu sat down obediently: "Oh."
