The Queen Mother had been married to Tuoba Xiao for many years and was the most fair on the surface. Since Qin Yanning was favored, the concubines reported it to the Queen Mother. In order to appease the concubines, she called Qin Yanning and several other concubines to her bedroom.
When the original owner was favored in the previous life, the Queen Consort also did the same thing. Although she looked kind and amiable on the surface, she actually created a lot of obstacles for the original owner.
In her previous life, the original owner was cowardly and didn't understand the open and secret struggles among the women in the palace. She thought the Queen Consort was a good person.
Tuoba Xiao tortured her in every way, so she took this opportunity to seek help from the Queen Mother, but was instead accused of being a seducer by the Queen Mother and several other concubines.
After Tuoba Xiao's sudden death, there was no possibility of taking off the hat of the original owner. Until the original owner's death, the women in the harem all said that it was she who seduced Tuoba Xiao and made him lose his mind, and then he died in her bedroom.
Among them, the Queen Consort who knew Tuoba Xiao's body best spoke with the most certainty. No matter how the original owner begged, she was unwilling to tell others. Tuoba Xiao had felt that his body was getting weaker as early as a year ago, and he had taken a lot of elixirs that the Queen Consort had found for him. However, these elixirs were Tuoba Xiao's real deadly poison.
After all, the original owner was just a victim in the struggle for imperial power.
In this life, Qin Yanning would naturally not let himself be passive.
She specially changed into a gorgeous dress to go to the Hongmeng Banquet. The dress she wore was made of the moonlight silk that Tuoba Xiao had just given her.
Moonlight silk is precious. Even when Da Zhang was at its strongest, it produced only twenty pieces a year. Even if the Queen of Da Zhang got one, she would only have it made into handkerchiefs for collection. But Qin Yanning now wears it without any regrets.
This was not enough, Qin Yanning carefully drew red marks on his shoulders and neck, and then pulled up his coat to cover up the red marks.
Yuzhu was shocked when she saw her princess's actions. She really couldn't figure out what her princess was going to do.
When she was on guard in the middle of the night, she heard the voice of the Khan of the Desert. At that time, she felt sorry for her princess. Later, she found out that her princess had been sleeping on the couch, and the embarrassing sounds were made by the Khan in his dream.
But now she and the princess are tied to the same rope, so Yuzhu can only accept her fate and choose to help Qin Yanning.
Qin Yanning naturally noticed Yuzhu's fear. She only felt amused and asked softly, "Where's Yutang? Let her go with me to see the Queen Mother later."
"Have you taken note of everything I told you?"
Yuzhu nodded quickly. Although she didn't understand why the princess asked her to go find the Third Prince later, seeing that Qin Yanning was doing well in the Desert Palace during this period, she became more and more convinced of Qin Yanning.
Thinking of this, Yuzhu felt more confident. She said carefully, "Your Highness, although the Khan dotes on you, the Queen Mother has been in the palace for many years and has given birth to the eldest and fifth princes. You'd better be careful."
Qin Yanning knew that Yuzhu had no bad intentions, she was just a little worried. She smiled and nodded without saying anything else, carefully reapplying her lip balm.
Looking at the beauty in the mirror with skin as white as cream and eyes as clear as autumn water, Qin Yanning couldn't help but envy her.
-------------------------------------
Qin Yanning followed the palace maid all the way to the Queen Mother's bedroom. There was no rule of paying respects every day in the Desert Palace. This was the second time Qin Yanning came to see the Queen Mother after arriving in the Desert Capital.
Qin Yanning touched her hair, like a fighter ready to go. Although the original owner of this small world had no wish, Qin Yanning thought very simply. Since she had occupied the original owner's body, she would naturally take revenge on those who had bullied the original owner one by one.
Just consider it as her payment to the original owner.
Yutang has always been calm and composed. She lowered her head and followed Qin Yanning into the bedroom.
There was originally laughter and joy in the bedroom, but when Qin Yanning came in, it instantly became quiet. When everyone saw that Qin Yanning was wearing a skirt made of the most precious moonlight silk, they couldn't help but look at the Queen Consort.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes, but it was quickly concealed.
Qin Yanning was observing several concubines in the bedroom. These people had contributed a lot to the original owner's "harm to the country and the people" in their previous lives. Now that he thought about it, these people should have been under the command of the queen long ago.
But she was a little curious. If Tuoba Xiao, who always thought he was superior, knew that the Queen Consort, whom he trusted the most, was also secretly forming cliques, she wondered if he would be furious.
Although Qin Yanning had a mischievous intention, he still bowed to everyone obediently, revealing the faint red marks on his shoulders and neck.
Sure enough, among the concubines sitting there, the youngest one was the most impatient. Seeing Qin Yanning like this, she couldn't help but snort coldly.
The Queen Dowager's displeasure grew stronger. When she first met her, she thought this little princess from the Central Plains was a well-behaved girl, but now she looked like a spoiled brat.
The Queen Dowager didn't care who was the most favored. To her, the most important things now were his two sons. However, her plan was about to reach the most important moment, and she would not allow any chaos to occur in the harem at this time.
Thinking of this, the Queen Consort showed her signature kind smile on her face, "Yan Ning has come all the way from the Central Plains. I wonder if he has adapted to life in the desert."
Qin Yanning said calmly, "Of course I've adapted. The Queen Mother loves me, and I feel even more comfortable than when I was in Dazhang."
Qin Yanning's answer was so appropriate and polite that the Queen Consort could not find any fault with it for a moment.
