Unscrupulous father comes to the door
"Princess, if someone likes you, will you go with him?" Luan Zhengya's voice was low, with too many emotions flashing in her eyes. She hugged Qin Yuyao tighter like a tiger.
Qin Yuyao, who was stared at by the tiger, swallowed carefully and answered without hesitation: "Of course not, you are the only one in my heart."
As soon as these words were spoken, the dangerous aura surrounding Qin Yuyao dissipated completely. Qin Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief. This man was really intimidating when he got jealous.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuyao raised her head and bit Luan Zhengya's Adam's apple with a bit of anger. Then she noticed that his breathing suddenly became heavier and he hugged her tighter. Their bodies were tightly huddled together, and she could even feel each other's body temperature.
"Your Highness actually asked such a question. I'm very angry." Qin Yuyao said word by word, imitating his expression just now, staring at Luan Zhengya.
After holding back for a long time, Luan Zhengya finally refrained from attacking directly. Her breath hitched, and then she burst into a muffled laugh. Her body trembled as she continued to laugh for a long time, and even Qin Yuyao couldn't help but smile as well.
They both knew that the incident was over, and it had never affected them from the beginning to the end. It was merely an opportunity to open up to each other, and it actually brought them closer.
"It's my fault, please don't blame me, Princess." Luan Zhengya softened her voice, stared at Qin Yuyao with her phoenix eyes for a while, then lowered her head and placed a warm kiss on her lips.
Perhaps because her emotions were finally released, Qin Yuyao couldn't help but kiss him back, and the kiss that was about to end became uncontrollable.
When Luan Zhengya slowly raised her head, Qin Yuyao was breathing slightly. She reached out to wipe the water stains on her lips, but was knocked unconscious by Luan Zhengya's delicate kiss.
In between kisses, Luan Zhengya had already reached out to untie the ribbon around Qin Yuyao's waist. Qin Yuyao seemed to have guessed what was going to happen next, and she couldn't help but reach out and put her hand into his open collar, causing Luan Zhengya's abdomen to tremble.
"Gurgle—" Suddenly, a particularly obvious gurgling sound was heard. The two of them stopped moving at the same time. Qin Yuyao blinked and her face turned even redder.
He simply buried himself in Luan Zhengya's chest, motionless, as if unwilling to face it.
A trace of regret flashed across Luan Zhengya's eyes, and there was some helplessness of not being satisfied between her brows, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise: "Heh"
A light laugh made Qin Yuyao even more unwilling to face it. She had been so busy looking through the account books of the past few days that she had forgotten to eat. Who knew she would be hungry at this moment?
The next moment, Qin Yuyao felt a tightness around her waist. It turned out that Luan Zhengya had tied the ribbon back on. He picked her up by the waist and walked all the way to the table behind the screen before putting her down.
He gathered her messy hair into place and then said with a smile, "Princess, you've been very busy and tired. You should remember to eat dinner. I'll be able to dine with you in a few days."
In recent days, Qin Yuyao has been busy with the shop. Naturally, he has not been idle either, often going out to the palace to discuss important matters with Qilian Jingyao, and returning only in the moonlight after the palace gates are closed.
Qin Yuyao pursed her lips, not daring to look at him. Like a little puppet, she let Luan Zhengya tidy up her clothes thoroughly before serving the dishes.
Meanwhile, Jin Yu and Qing Yu, who had hurried over, were a little confused, but they dared not hesitate to ask the kitchen to hurry up. It wasn't until all the dishes were served that their princess regained her composure and began to eat.
But when her eyes fell on the hairpin that was clearly crooked, Jin Yu seemed to come to her senses and suppressed her laughter.
The prince must be enduring great hardship, and would rather starve himself than let the princess starve.
The next day, Qin Yuyao rubbed her sore waist and then sat up. Jin Yu, who was waiting outside the screen, heard the sound and hurried in.
"Princess, I slept too long today. Do you want to eat now?" Jin Yu helped Qin Yuyao stand up and helped her wash and dress.
Qingyu from the outer room came in with the prepared clothes. Usually they would wake Qin Yuyao up at a certain time, but this morning the prince ordered them not to disturb the princess so that she could sleep a little longer.
Qin Yuyao's eyes flickered when she heard that, but she remained silent, feeling guilty. However, she didn't know that when Qingyu was dressing her, she had seen the kiss mark on her shoulder, which looked like a plum blossom in the snow.
After exchanging a glance with Jin Yu, they both tightened their expressions, fearing that their princess would become so angry that she wouldn't even eat.
Patting her waist after recovering from the pain, Qin Yuyao waved her hand and said, "No need for so much. Just bring a bowl of noodle soup. Just eat less for dinner."
After Qin Yuyao finished her noodle soup, Jin Yu hesitantly took a step forward and whispered, "Princess, the Right Prime Minister came to the mansion this morning and is still discussing something with the prince in the study."
Jin Yu actually didn't have much respect for Qin Ziwen. After all, he didn't think highly of the young lady, and she and Qingyu had grown up with the young lady, not just servants from the mansion.
Qin Yuyao was a little surprised to hear this news. She had thought that her father should have returned to the tribe with Sheng Yue and Zhang Wenhe, and been imprisoned in the Dali Temple.
Now he actually has time to beg to come to the Zhen'an Palace, could he use her status to make trouble? Thinking of this, Qin Yuyao simply walked straight towards the study.
She would not let Qin Ziwen have an easy time anyway. Her mother's death was partly his fault. If he could be exempted from punishment just because her daughter was a princess, she would definitely not agree to it.
She ran so fast that Jin Yu behind her almost had to lift her skirt and jog to keep up with her.
The person guarding the door was none other than Jiang He. He saw Qin Yuyao at once and was about to say hello when Qin Yuyao raised her hand to stop him.
She lowered her voice and said, "It's okay, I'll go in by myself." Now that he has a relationship with Luan Zhengya, he can naturally enter and leave the study at will.
He just quietly pushed open the study door, and before he went around the screen, he heard the conversation between the two.
"Right Prime Minister, please stop talking. I thought you were here to surrender and tell the whole story. I didn't expect you were here to beg for mercy. But how do you think you have any favor with me?" Luan Zhengya's voice was unhurried, even a little low.
Qin Ziwen, upon hearing this, became anxious and hurriedly said, "Why do you say that, Your Majesty? Although I made some mistakes, I was simply deceived. Even if I tell Your Majesty, it's not impossible to make amends."
After a pause, Qin Ziwen saw that Luan Zhengya's expression remained unchanged, seemingly unfazed by what he said. He simply stated the purpose of his visit: "Although I have made a mistake, I will not be dismissed from my position. After all, I have not yet been imprisoned in the Dali Temple, which shows that Your Majesty is very perceptive. I hope that Your Majesty will plead for mercy with Your Majesty, considering that I am your father-in-law."
For a long time, the study was so quiet that only Qin Ziwen's rapid breathing could be heard, and there was no sign of the presence of another person.
Luan Zhengya chuckled softly, seeming a little surprised and a little disdainful. "I didn't know the Right Prime Minister was my father-in-law. After all, Qin Yuyao stole a lot of information from my study some time ago. Did the Right Prime Minister enjoy taking these things?"
Qin Ziwen immediately broke out in a cold sweat, his palms hidden beneath his sleeves sweating slightly. He rolled his eyes and said, "While Yuyao's matter has something to do with me, she and the prince are still married, and now she's the Princess of Zhen'an. If her father is imprisoned in the Dali Temple on charges, I'm afraid her reputation will be tarnished."
Qin Yuyao held her breath behind the screen, but still didn't go in. She wanted to hear what else this old man could say about selling his daughter for fame.
Luan Zhengya remained silent. Seeing that his words had no effect, Qin Ziwen clenched his fist and said, "After all, my daughter is the daughter of my first wife and I. The Qin family has taken great pains to raise her over the years. If Yuyao heard that something had happened to me, she would probably be heartbroken."
Qin Ziwen boasted without blinking. If Luan Zhengya hadn't known about this, she would have thought he was some kind father who had cared for Qin Yuyao for over a decade.
The hand that was originally placed on the desk tapped lightly on the table, which was very obvious in the quiet study and also blocked Qin Ziwen who was about to plead for mercy.
"The Right Prime Minister is overthinking it. Qin Yuyao is just a village woman who was lucky enough to enter my Zhen'an Palace. Although you raised her for more than ten years, I heard that I left her on the farm and ignored her for more than ten years." Luan Zhengya said this with certainty, and looked straight at Qin Ziwen with dark eyes, which made Qin Ziwen's lips tremble and unable to utter a word.
Seeing his attitude, Luan Zhengya snorted coldly, "For taking in a village woman like this, I was laughed at in the capital for a long time. I just gave you some face out of pity. I didn't expect the Right Minister to take it seriously. You don't really think your daughter has any face in my eyes?"
Qin Ziwen was stunned by the question and it took him a while to come to his senses. "If Your Highness doesn't like it, you can just send a letter of divorce. However, at this critical moment, if Your Highness abandons the Princess's relatives, it will be bad for Your Highness's reputation."
As if she had heard a joke, Luan Zhengya raised her eyes with a half-smile, only to find that there seemed to be a shadow swaying behind the screen behind Qin Ziwen.
Retracting his gaze, Luan Zhengya continued, "Qin Yuyao has no reputation in my eyes. Once the Right Prime Minister enters the Dali Temple, I will petition His Majesty for a letter of divorce. As for your so-called reputation, it has no use to me."
Originally, he had planned to use his daughter to exchange for a smooth official career, but he hadn't expected to hear such words. Qin Ziwen couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. He stood up and walked to Luan Zhengya and knelt down.
"Your Highness, although I made a mistake, it was ultimately due to Zhang Wenhe's deception. If Your Highness is willing, I will do my best to help You ascend to the throne." Qin Ziwen shouted this with his head lowered and his eyes closed.
Everyone in Shengjing knew that Prince Zhen'an Luan Zhengya was only distantly related to the current emperor. Didn't they even have different surnames? The most common rumor was that this Prince Zhen'an had previously won over quite a few people while handling government affairs as regent.
If Prince Zhen'an raised his arm and called for action, the young emperor on the throne would probably abdicate immediately.
