Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent

"Eldest Princess, I'm sorry. No matter what, it's my daughter who teaches my maid how to do nothing."

Qu Yu shook her head, unable to express her guilt in words.

She couldn't manage her maid and almost harmed the Qu family and the eldest princess. She was a sinner.

Yu Yunxi chuckled: "Qu Yu, it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself. But there's one thing I don't understand. You seem to dislike Qin Wencheng, so why are you tied to him?"

Hearing this, Qu Yu's eyes became more helpless.

"My father and I also thought of many ways to ruin this engagement. But this engagement was made by the Supreme Emperor for both families many years ago. Therefore... we cannot violate the emperor's order."

Grandfather decided it?

Yu Yunxi's eyelids twitched wildly.

Only now did she realize that her grandfather liked to mess with things.

Qu Yu and Qin Wencheng are like this.

The same goes for her and the third prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom.

"If there is a chance, I will talk to my grandfather about this." Yu Yunxi said in a serious tone.

She also couldn't bear to see that such a good girl as Qu Yu was ruined by that scumbag Qin Wencheng.

But after Qu Yu heard this, the sadness between his eyebrows did not subside, but became more solemn.

"Princess, I thank you for your kindness. But once the emperor's words are spoken, they cannot be taken back."

Yu Yunxi frowned slightly, "What else can I do?"

"Unless, I have the opportunity to intercede with the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor." Qu Yu's eyes flashed with light.

"What do you mean..."

"To be honest with the eldest princess, there has been a locust plague in Kongzhou recently, and the people are in dire straits. My father has asked the emperor for orders and will soon lead troops to rescue the disaster. My daughter plans to go with us. If this matter goes well, we will be rewarded by the emperor, and then there will be It's time to break off the engagement." Qu Yu said in a serious tone.

Yu Yunxi nodded clearly: "I see. Then why did you sell your shop?"

"Yes, I heard that the people in Kongzhou were in serious disaster. They had no food and people were eating people. So I and my father wanted to sell some shops so that they could purchase food and send it to Kongzhou." Qu Yu expressed his thoughts.

Yu Yunxi was very moved when she heard this.

It is a blessing for the people of Western Chu that the Qu family father and daughter have such a big heart.

but……

"Disaster relief is a matter for the court. You just go and save people. As for the money and food, that is something the court should consider. You use your own private money to save people, and those who understand your painstaking efforts will understand you. But people with ulterior motives, It is very likely that this will make a big fuss about it.”

Yu Yunxi shook her head, her tone gradually becoming serious.

She continued: "If someone cites your book in front of the emperor and says that what you have done is in vain to save the face of the imperial court and gain popular support among the people, then the Qu family is really in danger."

When Qu Yu heard this, her heart sank.

My father was a military commander and didn't usually pay attention to these tortuous things, so he was often plotted against by others in the court.

She was also anxious to help the people, but she didn't think about this aspect.

"Thank you for the reminder, Princess. But if we don't help the people of Kongzhou, they will really starve to death."

Qu Yu's expression was very complicated.

"Why do you say that? Is it because the court does not have enough money for disaster relief?" Yu Yunxi looked confused.

She remembered that Xichu's treasury should be the richest among so many countries.

Why is there not even a mere amount of money for disaster relief?

"The amount of money that the emperor asked the treasury to send out for disaster relief is indeed considerable. But it is uncertain whether such a volume can reach Kongzhou."

Qu Yu glanced at Yu Yunxi, then at Feng Yili behind her, and finally gritted her teeth and said these words.

Is that so?

Yu Yunxi's heart sank severely.

Could it be that the court is corrupt?

"As far as I know, half of the first batch of grain sent to Kongzhou was made of stones." Qu Yu said sadly.

What?

Yu Yunxi's face suddenly changed, and anger welled up in her heart.

Don’t these people take the lives of the people seriously?

"Whose person is responsible for escorting the silver coins?" Yu Yunxi asked sharply.

"It's the Empress Dowager's younger brother, Fang Shangshu." Qu Yu replied in a muffled voice.

A sharp light flashed in Yu Yunxi's eyes.

It seems that there are many forces involved behind this.

"Qu Yu, you should keep this shop. Since it was left to you by your mother, it shouldn't be sold. You and your father just go to provide disaster relief. I will take care of the food issue."

Yu Yunxi patiently comforted Qu Yu.

"Princess!"

Meng Xia was extremely anxious.

The eldest princess has just returned to Xichu, and her foundation is still unstable.

Wouldn't it be inappropriate to be an enemy of the Empress Dowager now?

Feng Yili looked at Yu Yunxi's profile, and a soft light flashed in his dark eyes.

No matter where she is, his princess still cares about the people.

Qu Yu let out a breath and knelt down on one knee to Yu Yunxi again.

"Princess, I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Kongzhou. But this shop is just a gift to you. Please accept it." She said seriously.

"I can't close this shop." Yu Yunxi shook his head.

"Princess, I have also heard my father mention Princess Changning. During her years in Kyoto, many people were saved from diseases. I really hope that such a scene can happen again. Therefore, I am willing to let this shop To exert its value..."

Seeing that Yu Yunxi still disagreed, Qu Yu took a deep breath and continued: "To be honest with the eldest princess, there is a reason why this shop has not been sold or rented out during this period. Mrs. Qin Guogong didn't know where she heard it. This shop is my dowry, so I want to occupy the magpie's nest in advance. Previously, this shop was rented to someone else to sell calligraphy and paintings, but because the Duke's government was easy to get involved, that person left. The rest of the people did not dare to approach this shop. "

I see.

The Duke of Qin's face is really disgusting.

The coldness in Yu Yunxi's eyes became even stronger.

"So, eldest princess, please take over this shop, otherwise I, my eldest daughter, will not be able to kneel down."

Qu Yu’s tone was stubborn.

With a sigh, Yu Yunxi helped Qu Yu up again.

"Okay, I want your shop, but I'm renting it..."

After talking a lot with Qu Yu, Yu Yunxi came out of the shop.

She let out a breath, and the burden on her body seemed to be much heavier now.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the tall figure following behind her.

She frowned slightly, "King Youshan seems to be very idle, why are you following this princess all the time today?"

"So many people are concerned about the life of the eldest princess. How can I not be by your side to protect you?"

Feng Yili spoke slowly. His dark eyes seemed to be filled with stars and a sea of ​​stars. When he looked at her, Yu Yunxi's heart palpitated inexplicably.

"This princess is not that weak. This princess can protect..."

Yu Yunxi originally wanted to say that she could protect herself.

But who knew that at this time, Feng Yili would actually take a step forward.

His tall body blocked the light in front of her.

The next moment, he held her waist and leaned down.

"King Youshan, you..."

Yu Yunxi wanted to say something else, but her mouth was sealed.

There was softness on the lips, and the heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.

"I will leave the capital for two days. If I am not with you, you have to protect yourself and don't let me worry. Do you understand? Huh?"
