"But Di Zisheng said he would give me this jade pendant." As he said that, Xu Jinyi took back the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

"Who is Di Zisheng? Who framed our family like this? Is this a joke? Who is so bold..."

As the princess spoke, she opened her mouth wide and looked at her daughter in surprise.

Di Zisheng, that is the emperor's name. Who would call the emperor by his name directly? Isn't it normal that she didn't react for a while?

Just looking at her daughter's familiar tone, her voice became difficult: "Daughter, you... the man you are talking about can't be..."

Xu Jinyi shook the jade pendant: "Emperor Zisheng!"

"thump!"

The princess knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I have offended Your Majesty by speaking without restraint. Please forgive me."

Xu Jinyi also realized that her mother's belief in imperial power was truly engraved in her soul.

Thinking about it, she put the jade pendant away and helped her mother up again: "Mom, we are at home, don't do this in the future."

When the princess saw her put the jade pendant away, she patted her chest in fear.

Uncertainly, he asked, "Daughter, are you telling the truth? Is it really the Emperor?"

Xu Jinyi nodded.

The princess shed tears and said, "My poor daughter, I am sorry for you. I shouldn't have brought you into the palace with your appearance."

"Mother thought about what people outside said so harshly, so she wanted to take you out to let everyone see her, my angel-like daughter. I didn't expect that the emperor would take a fancy to you. No wonder you didn't say anything. If the emperor wanted you, how could you refuse?"

Xu Jinyi:!!!

"Mom, Di Zisheng really didn't force me. If he really wanted to force me, he would have issued an order directly instead of waiting for my consent."

"And he said that the imperial decree to establish the queen will come down in two days. He treats me very well, so you don't have to worry."

"Empress? The emperor agrees to make you the queen?" asked the princess.

"Yes, didn't he say at today's banquet that he would establish a queen?"

The princess' eyes were filled with worry, which puzzled Xu Jinyi: "Mother doesn't want me to enter the palace?"

The princess shook her head: "The emperor has no one in his harem. It's a good thing, but it's not a good thing either. If you enter the palace, you won't have to compete for favor with a bunch of women and engage in intrigue."

"But there are pros and cons. You've become the emperor's only woman, making you a thorn in the eyes of all the noble ladies. Your pregnancy is a matter of great concern to the entire world."

"It would be good if she could get pregnant and give birth to the child. What if... Mom meant what if the baby is a princess, or..."

"Do you know what awaits you? Can you really bear entering the palace under such great pressure?"

"If the Emperor wants to keep his promise today and not take any more concubines, how many children will you have to give birth to satisfy the ministers after entering the palace?"

"Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. I don't want you to go through that kind of suffering."

The princess sighed deeply: "I really don't know whether being favored by the emperor is a blessing or..."

Xu Jinyi hugged her mother's arm and said, "Mom, don't think too far ahead. Your daughter is blessed. Giving birth is as simple as eating and drinking water."

"And the target is the emperor. In the future, I will be the most noble woman in the world. Others will envy me."

Seeing that her daughter was genuinely happy, the princess let out a sigh of relief. "That's all I can think of. At least you two are in love with each other. That's better than His Majesty forcing you into the palace."

At this point, what could the princess say? The other party was the emperor, could she still refuse?

However, when the princess thought of the outrageous words she had just said, she felt like laughing.

"By the way, you and His Majesty really didn't make it to the final stage, right? The day after the Emperor and Empress' wedding, there were maids inspecting the veil, and there were also grooming maids who inspected the body before the wedding."

Xu Jinyi blushed: "Mom, we really don't have it."

"Alright, go down and take a rest. I'll talk to your father about this first, so he won't be too frightened and unable to accept it when the imperial edict comes."

After Xu Jinyi left, the princess was still trying to digest the news. When she saw her husband coming in with a silly look on his face, she didn't know where to start.

Lu Haoran, on the other hand, became distracted after seeing Xu Jinyi's performance, even after returning to Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

As soon as she entered the door, Liao Keren came up to her like a little bird. Seeing Liao Keren's disgusting behavior, Huo Bier curled her lips in disdain and left without any anger at all.

Now, she has seen through Lu Haoran and doesn't want to compete for his favor anymore.

Instead of focusing on Lu Haoran, it is better to focus on your dowry.

She would not use her dowry to fill the empty shell of the Lu family. Of course, she understood Lu's mother's hint, but she was dreaming of taking out her dowry.

As long as she has the dowry in her hand, who in this mansion would dare to disrespect her? It doesn't matter if she doesn't have any favor.

Liao Keren was taken back to the mansion, but Liusu suffered a miserable fate.

She suffered heavy bleeding that day and the doctor diagnosed her with the inability to get pregnant again. Before she woke up, she was sold to the most famous brothel in the capital by Lu Haoran.

The reason why it is called the most famous brothel is not the first brothel in the capital, nor is it the brothel with an elegant environment.

It is famous for being the cheapest brothel, and its venue is also the largest among all the brothels in the capital.

How cheap is it? Even if you are a beggar, you can still have a good time.

The women there are divided into grades one to nine. No matter how tall or short, fat or thin, the madam will accept them as long as they are women.

After entering, the women will be divided into different levels, assigned rooms, and then they will start receiving customers.

The women who were assigned to the ninth grade were the most miserable. The customers they received every day were all extremely poor and had no money to tip.

Of course, the women of the ninth class have the worst looks and figures, but their income is no less than that of the first class.

Because they usually win by numbers, this means that women of the ninth class have to receive countless people in a day and may not even get out of bed.

His legs couldn't even close and he smelled terrible all over.

Liusu was sold here by Lu Haoran, and he didn't ask for any money. He only told the madam to assign her to a girl of the ninth rank.

Before Liusu fainted, she had thought that Lu Haoran would sell her to a brothel, but she didn't expect it to be the one brothel girls feared the most.

Because other brothels are at least like high-end restaurants, and the customers who come are either rich or noble. They are not like this one, which sells meat just for the sake of selling meat.

Of course, Lu Haoran didn't want Liusu to die so soon. He even told the madam to wait until she recovered before starting.

In this way, during the half month of recuperation, Liusu witnessed all the ugly things in the brothel.

In order to help Liusu get used to her future life, during the half month of rest, the madam allowed her to visit the place where the women in the brothel studied.

As for what to learn, that's still a question, naturally it's about how to please...
