Chapter 177 The Imperial Advisor of a Female-Dominated Society (Part 23)

"Father, where did the pretty sister go?"

A sweet, innocent voice rang out, and Qingyu paused in her writing, her brows furrowing as if she were somewhat displeased.

She had already guessed who it was; it must be Consort Ru and the eleventh princess, Feng Zhaozhao.

It's unclear what these two are thinking. Ever since Consort De stepped down, Consort Ru's favor has soared, and her attitude towards Feng Zhaozhao has completely reversed.

This emboldened Consort Ru to bring Feng Zhaozhao to Qingyu's place from time to time, ostensibly to relieve Qingyu's loneliness.

A moment later, two figures, one tall and one short, ran out of the door. Feng Zhaozhao was still young and was dressed in a bright pink dress today. Her chubby face made her look especially cute, and she had an indescribable charm.

Her short legs moved incredibly fast; when she saw Qingyu, her eyes lit up, and she ran straight towards them—

Then Qingyu grabbed him by the collar and easily pulled him inside.

Feng Zhaozhao blinked her big, bright eyes and smiled sweetly, "Sister is so amazing~ You're so strong~ Teach Zhaozhao!"

Qingyu narrowed her eyes, not finding the other person cute at all. On the contrary, she thought that someone so young who was already scheming was a traitor.

but……

This little one has quite a few leading lady halos around her; it turns out she's the new leading lady.

Qingyu tossed the person to Qingling with some disdain. The latter caught her steadily, then pressed down on Feng Zhaozhao's shoulder and said with a forced smile, "Your Highness, you'd better stand properly."

Feng Zhaozhao struggled twice, but the hand on her shoulder felt like a thousand-pound weight, and she couldn't break free at all. She could only blink and look at Consort Ru with teary eyes, "Father..."

Consort Ru ignored her and focused only on Qingyu in front of her.

Feng Zhaozhao pouted.

I knew it! Father has forgotten his daughter because of a beautiful woman! He's neglected her now that he has a beloved beauty!

Hmph! She's looking at pretty girls too!

Several people stared at Qingyu, and Qingyu simply couldn't continue writing. She put down her pen and then looked up at Consort Ru in front of her, her tone somewhat dissatisfied, "You come here every day... you must really be bored."

Consort Ru chuckled, "It's Zhao Zhao who misses you."

With a cold expression, Qingyu picked up a copper coin from the side. Sunlight shone on her long eyelashes, making her aloofness seem to fade a bit, but her voice remained indifferent.

"I don't want you guys, so don't bother me unless it's important."

The words were somewhat harsh, but Consort Ru didn't care. Her gaze fell on the copper coin in Qingyu's hand, then she looked at the palace servants waiting nearby. After a moment, she suddenly said, "You may all go back first. I will wait here for the Imperial Preceptor's results, and I will naturally explain them to His Majesty then."

Consort Ru is currently enjoying great influence in the palace, and no one wants to offend her. After weighing the pros and cons, the head attendant immediately bowed and thanked him, "Then we'll have to trouble you, Your Excellency!"

After saying that, he left with his men.

With no one else in the room, Consort Ru glanced at Qing Ling and finally voiced her question: "Do you really want to figure out the prince's identity?"

Qingyu didn't even look up. "Why not?"

Besides, she wasn't just calculating; she knew from the beginning, and it was she who escorted Ye Huai and the others' letter to the neighboring country successfully.

Consort Ru coughed lightly, a hint of helplessness on her face, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that your actions will cause more trouble? The forces behind them won't let this go easily."

Since someone was able to keep this matter a secret back then, it means that someone didn't want that prince to go back.

As for the reason...

Qingyu toyed with the copper coin, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Trouble? From the moment I stepped into this palace, trouble has never stopped. If they dare to come, I will face them."

If they dare to fight all the way to the Phoenix Kingdom, what else are they afraid of?

Furthermore, since Ye Huai was a prince who had been stranded in the Phoenix Kingdom, he would surely seek revenge if he had suffered any hardship during that time.

Will Phoenix cooperate or not? And will it affect the country's image?

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

Consort Ru was speechless for a long time, and finally could only shake her head helplessly. She knew Qingyu was stubborn, but she said this only to remind her and had no other meaning.

If Qingyu causes trouble, he can just clean it up from behind.

about……

He can't let go of her anymore.

At this moment, Feng Zhaozhao, who had been quiet all along, suddenly spoke up: "Sister, are you looking for something very important? Zhaozhao can help you."

Her eyes were bright and sparkling, and she had an innocent and naive look.

Qingyu never believed that there were any innocent people in the royal family, especially since Feng Zhaozhao had been walking on thin ice before, how could she really be innocent?

She's so naive; she would have been killed by those people in the harem long ago.

Qingyu's eyes were icy cold. She sneered, "What can you do to help me? You should study more, otherwise you won't even be able to act well."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhaozhao's face flushed red, and she hurriedly defended herself, looking aggrieved, "Zhaozhao means it."

Qingyu ignored her and turned her gaze back to the copper coins.

Seeing this, Consort Ru quickly changed the subject: "Imperial Preceptor, if you were to find out where that prince is, what do you plan to do?"

Qingyu picked up her paintbrush again and replied leisurely, "Of course, it's about revealing the truth to the world. Don't you think... that will be a lot of fun?"

Although her words were casual, Consort Ru could detect a hint of excitement in them.

Thinking of something, he changed the subject and continued, "The Seventh Princess... seems to have changed her personality again. She's really the same as before. I heard she went to drink with brothels and got beaten up..."

Mentioning this, Qingyu raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. She was dressed simply today, and her smile was faint, giving her a rather indifferent appearance. "What? Someone still dares to hit her?"

"How could she not? His Majesty is so angry he could beat her up. She's only just recovered a little, and she's already acting recklessly... What's more, she ran into someone's respectable husband when she left the brothel and flirted with him. If she didn't get beaten up, who would?" Consort Ru smiled, her eyes full of undisguised sarcasm.

Feng Yu is essentially ruined. After what happened before, it will be difficult for her to return to the imperial court.

The other princesses were no pushovers either.

Qingyu listened to these things as if it were just gossip, without showing much emotion.

She leaned forward slightly, her long hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall.

Through the mask, Consort Ru seemed to be able to see her face beneath: eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like stars, and lips red without any lipstick.

She held a calligraphy brush and gently wrote two characters on the paper—

"Ye Huai".

--------------

At the end of the year, envoys from a neighboring country entered the Phoenix Kingdom. They were eager to inquire about Ye Huai's residence, only to find that he had already moved into the palace, which greatly surprised the envoys.

However, before they could react, the empress had already sent people to greet them. The envoys dared not act rashly and, led by the princess of the neighboring country, personally entered the palace.

Ye Huai was still incredibly excited at that moment, and he subconsciously looked for the figure that had captured his heart...

Unfortunately, that figure was as unapproachable and elusive as moonlight.

He had only seen that person twice in the few months he had been in the palace: once when he entered the palace, and once when he went to the lakeside for a stroll...

Thinking this, Ye Huai understood that he would definitely not see him again. He concealed the disappointment in his eyes and put on a smile again.

Now that he has found a powerful backer, he should cherish it.

So when the two sides met, the atmosphere was very harmonious and they talked happily. In the end, the neighboring country and the Feng country reached an agreement.

Three days later, bring Ye Huai back and treat him with great hospitality by the Feng Kingdom.

The reason is simple: Ye Huai's grandfather, who is now the retired emperor, is terminally ill and on his last breath. All he wants now is to see Ye Huai!

This is something we had to do, even if we couldn't!

The Queen was overjoyed. This not only increased the friendship between the two countries, but she also successfully obtained a gift, and the neighboring country owed her a favor, since Ye Huai had grown up safely in her country and had grown into an exceptionally handsome and intelligent young man...

It's all thanks to the Empress!

Overjoyed, the Empress waved her hand and bestowed upon Ye Huai a whole host of gifts.
