When she was at the Anqing Marquis' Mansion, Miss Yan had seen them without combing their hair or washing their faces.

Now I’m dressed neatly, but not formally enough. Why can’t I meet you?

Luo and Zhang hurried out to greet them.

After Yan Yu got married, she basically never went out except for entering the palace and returning to her parents' home. This was also her first time to come to the Shao Mansion in the capital.

Bichun helped Yan Yu get off the carriage, and Luo and Zhang hurried forward to pay their respects: "Your Highness greets the Princess of Qin."

Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, and quickly helped them both up: "Why are you two sisters-in-law still bowing? Isn't this shortening my life?"

Zhang smiled and said, "Etiquette cannot be abandoned. Princess, please go in and sit down. Your brothers left early in the morning. If they knew that the princess was coming, they would definitely ask them to stay."

For a moment, Yan Yu didn't know what to say, so he let them surround him and go into the house.

In fact, Zhang and Luo knew that Yan Yu was engaged to a royal family member and would marry a prince in the future. But at that time, she was still unmarried, so it was more natural for them to get along with each other.

Our identities are now very different. The things we could say and do before are definitely not possible now.

Several people entered the room, and the maid brought tea over. Luo held it and placed it in front of Yan Yu. She and Zhang stood on both sides of Yan Yu and did not dare to sit down at all.

Yan Yu felt that this scene was just like when he was serving the old lady in the mansion. Even when serving the old lady, he was not so scared.

"Sisters-in-law, please sit down." Yan Yu said, "I am the same as before, and you should also be the same as before."

Zhang could see that Yan Yu had no intention of showing off her status after marrying the prince. If she and Luo continued to be nervous, the situation would definitely make Yan Yu unhappy.

Zhang was usually more lively, and she hurriedly pulled Luo to sit next to Yan Yu, smiling and saying, "Yes, Yan'er is right, everything is the same as before."

Although they said so, Zhang and Luo knew very well in their hearts that given their current status, nothing would be the same as before.

But Yan Yuyan was smiling and looked almost the same as before. Apart from her overly exquisite and luxurious clothes, everything seemed to be the same as before.

Zhang and Luo were in a daze, as if they had returned to the past.

When they first got married, Yan Yu was already in the mansion.

The little girl was weak but smart, and everything she said and did was pleasing to the eye. Both of them regarded Yan Yu as a little sister.

Yan Yu was very young at that time and didn't think much. He was only six or seven years old after two or three years. What deep thoughts could a six or seven-year-old child have?

Seeing that everyone was nice to her, she began to treat the Shao Mansion as her own home. She and her sisters quarreled and played together, and when there were rare things, they would fight over them together. They would have conflicts and also make peace with each other.

Later, some gossipy servants in the Shao family said that Yan Yu was not a daughter of the Shao family, so how could she have the face to compete with other daughters.

The words reached Yan Yu's ears, and Yan Yu realized that he was an outsider and was actually different.

At that time, she hid under the grape vines and cried secretly. Zhang, who had just married not long ago, also felt aggrieved all the time because it was too difficult to be a daughter-in-law, and she also wiped away her tears secretly when no one saw her.

Later, Zhang took special care of this little sister and would hide any good things she had and give them to her secretly.

Time flies and so many years have passed. As the few people talked and drank tea, Zhang and Luo had unknowingly forgotten Yan Yu's identity as a princess and the strict hierarchy in the capital.

Yan Yu had lunch here and rested for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, she had to go back to the palace.

Luo was a quiet person. Before she left, she just held Yan Yu's hand and whispered a few words to her: "Serve His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin well in the future, listen to him in everything, don't make him angry, and give birth to a little prince soon."

Yan Yu nodded slightly.

There was a boy of seven or eight years old standing in front of Luo. He was the son of Shao Junliang and his aunt, and was raised by Luo. Luo would never be able to have children in her lifetime.

Anyway, this is how life is, there is no hope. Today, when I saw Yan Yu, I felt happy talking to Miss Yan, so we held hands and talked a few more words.

Luo could see that Yan Yu appeared weak and pretty, had a miserable life, and looked easy to control, but in fact she was a very ambitious girl.

A woman is too ambitious. Once she becomes too strong, it is easy for her to have a hard time in the backyard. Luo always wants to give this girl more advice so that she can live a good life in the future.

Yan Yu quickly got on the carriage and returned home.

Ningxia held Yan Yu's hand and walked towards Wanfu Garden. Along the way, she sighed: "The eldest and third young ladies are a little scared of you now that they see you."

Yan Yu knew that what they were afraid of was not him, but power.

Just like so many people are not afraid of the queen or the queen mother, but of the power of the Zheng family.

Today, Huoha went out with the King of Qin. Huoha's adopted son Huo Wang ran to Yan Yu eagerly and said, "Princess, I pay my respects to you."

Yan Yu had seen him following behind the King of Qin before. He was the eunuch serving the King of Qin.

At the beginning, most of the internal affairs of the mansion were handled by Huo Ha, who then reported to the prince.

Because of this, Huoha looked down on the princess somewhat.

Now the prince took the initiative to let the princess handle all matters, and anyone who disobeyed would be beaten to death. Huoha quickly instructed his men to please the princess.

Yan Yu nodded: "What's your name?"

Huo Wang said quickly: "My name is Huo Wang. I got a mynah bird the other day and I came here to present it to you, Your Majesty."

Yan Yu didn't want to watch the bird, so he nodded: "What happened with the fifth prince yesterday, is there any movement in the palace?"

Since Huo Wang could win Huo Ha's favor, he must be very good at talking. Moreover, he was very brave and dared to say anything. After listening to Yan Yu's words, he told her the whole story in vivid detail.

"The Queen Mother blamed the Duke of Dongxin and the Prince of Kangping's Mansion. The young master of the Prince of Kangping's Mansion was beaten to death!"

Yan Yu was somewhat surprised: "A young master of a royal palace was beaten to death for such a small matter?"

"It's no small matter if it involves the Queen Mother." Huo Wang said quickly, "If it was our prince who was taken away and the Emperor was alerted, at least hundreds of people would have died. Speaking of which, those two young masters really don't know the seriousness of the matter. How could they take the Emperor's own son to such a place? After this incident, the Prince Kangping's Mansion and the Marquis Dongxin's Mansion can forget about staying in the court."

Yan Yu paused.

She knew how deep the waters were in the capital, and that the royal family was like a mountain pressing down on people's heads, but she finally saw how scary it was.

Yan Yu inquired about it and returned to Wanfu Garden. Huo Wang did not dare to go in and stood outside respectfully.

At this time, Huo Wang saw His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin coming from a distance. He quickly bent his body and stood aside, waiting for the prince to come with his hands hanging down.
