Reborn To Dominate: Volume 2

By Luo Yuan

The pity of the heavens had allowed her to return to the age of sixteen. In her previous life, she had been a weak and lowly person that everyone could bully.

In this world, no one dared to not fear her. The life that she owed her in was one in which she would pay back twice as much. Scoundrel would not show any mercy. The trap was still as secretive as ever: he thought he could see through everyone's hearts, but he had accidentally lost his heart in the transaction with the guy in front of him. The man in front of him was definitely a disaster.

CHAPTER 101 - WAR

Entering the palace was an extremely common occurrence for Feng Jianxuan. Over the past year, she had to enter the palace at least ten times. If she were to meet with any emperor, empress or concubine, she would probably be summoned even more.

She was also a common person. Furthermore, she had walked alone in this palace for more than ten years, so she had long since become familiar with everything here.

Arriving at the door of the study, Feng Jianxuan stood at the door waiting to pass on the message. She only knew that someone was speaking inside, but she didn't know who it was.

After waiting for a while, Ouyang Lin also arrived. He saw Feng Jianxuan dressed in luxurious clothing. Although it was heavy, it was not out of etiquette. Her generosity and decency was truly the demeanor of a golden miss of the Prime Minister's Estate.

When did you arrive?

Ouyang Lin stood beside Feng Jianxuan. Even though he was outside his father's study room, he did not dare to act rashly. He could only question her in a low voice.

In the time it takes to make a cup of tea.

At this moment, Xiao Cui had already seen the item on Ouyang Lin's body. Her eyes lit up and a smile appeared on her face.

By not exposing the young miss, it was already the last thing Xiao Cui had left for her. No wonder she was so concerned about this scented sachet. Yesterday, she said that she lost it and didn't let Xiao Cui look for it, but she felt something was wrong at the time. She just didn't expect that it would be given out long ago.

Prince Yu, Second Miss Feng, the emperor has summoned you.

Feng Jianxuan followed Ouyang Lin inside. After the two of them bowed, they were given seats. Feng Jianxuan was truly flattered.

Lin'er, tell us more about the matter of the brocade sack.

The emperor's face was full of smiles. This time, it was the Great Victory Heavenly Lake, and it could be considered to have made the Great Wu shine. The neighboring countries coveted it like tigers eyeing their prey, and after hearing this news, no one dared to rashly take a step forward.

He did not expect that the Heaven Lake Divine Kingdom was considered one of the stronger countries in the region. He did not expect that they would be able to retreat thirty miles so easily.

Father, I was at Lin Gu, Yu Du, and Yi City. I had decided on an attack plan based on the situation of the battle, but my plan was revealed to Tian Chi. When I thought of the brocade sack that Second Miss Feng had asked for, and saw the contents written inside, I followed her train of thoughts and slightly changed the situation, thus avoiding the loss of the great army."

What's in the brocade sack? The Emperor was very curious. What kind of person would cause Ouyang Lin to walk out of such a desperate situation? Furthermore, it was given to him by a woman who knew nothing about the war at the border.

I still have the brocade sack. It's here.

Ouyang Lin placed the embroidered bags in front of the emperor. The emperor opened them one by one and read, A spy needs to secretly meddle in my affairs?

This was the first brocade bag Feng Jianxuan had prepared for Ouyang Lin. If he hadn't indicated at that time that there was a spy, he wouldn't have been able to ascertain Feng Jianxuan's intentions.

Of course, if he hadn't done it meticulously, he could have taken it by surprise as well.

Yes, I didn't know there was a spy, and I didn't even know who that spy was. I didn't want to alert the enemy, so I ordered my elite troops to secretly use Chen Cang's plan, and obtained victory.

The Emperor nodded his head and said with a smile, That's right, it's a good idea. What's wrong with this second bag?"

At that time, the situation was tense. Two to three times, the battle was a draw. There was no helping it for now. However, if things dragged on like this, the people at the border would suffer. The spies never revealed anything, and this son really did not know what to do. At that time, the assistant general was constantly giving suggestions to his son, which sounds pretty good. After thinking about it for a whole night, I realized that he was using the terrain to invite him into the trap. It was only then that he realized the truth. He then ordered people to stare at the deputy general. Sure enough, after my son agreed to his tactics, I saw him secretly release information to the enemy. This son has controlled him and won this dangerous battle.

When Ouyang Lin said those words, Feng Jianxuan seemed to be able to see the state of the battle at that time. It was indeed exciting and dangerous.

In his previous life, although he had barely won the war, it had consumed too much of the country's strength and manpower. It could not be considered a great victory, and it had made it so that the Great Wu would not have a chance for nearly ten years.

It's indeed exciting. The emperor didn't look at the third sack. Instead, he looked at Feng Jianxuan and enunciated each word slowly, I wonder how the young miss of the prime minister's residence knew that there was a spy within the army?

Feng Jianxuan didn't expect the emperor to suddenly ask her about this. She only thought that the emperor would ask her how she came up with these methods. She couldn't possibly say that she had experienced it in her previous life.

Father …

This Emperor is asking her.

The emperor was serious. He wanted to hear from Feng Jianxuan how she found out, but he didn't want to hear his son defend himself.

Feng Jianxuan took a deep breath and said, This subject is also speculating. A few months ago, this subject's daughter was almost ambushed by someone. This matter was brought to Shuntian, and the person who harmed this subject's daughter had a picture of a phoenix tail flower on his arm. This was one of them. After that, this subject's daughter found the servant girl Ling Yun at her residence. On her arm, there was also the design of a Phoenix Tail Flower. This was the second one. And these two things had something in common. Two people had either committed suicide or been assassinated. After that, this subject's daughter searched through the books and finally found a clue. The pattern of the Phoenix Tail Flower is most likely related to the Heaven Lake Divine Kingdom.

As Feng Jianxuan spoke, her expression changed when she saw the emperor's suspicious look just now. In fact, when she was listening to him speak, her eyes were very serious.

In a few days, I heard that the army had set out to battle for the heavenly lake, this is too much of a coincidence, so I got Xiao Cui to send a silk bag as a reminder to the prince. If there were spies and they were prepared, it was naturally good. If I am not a spy, these three brocades of mine can still help you, your highness.

At this point, Feng Jianxuan's words came to a halt.

This time, the emperor couldn't help but look at her in a different light. They chatted happily before asking, Since you say that it's feasible even without detailed investigation, what's the method?

This subject shall speak of it. I hope that Your Majesty will forgive this subject for speaking nonsense.

I'll pardon you for your innocence, just say it. The Emperor waited anxiously, as if he had not finished the story after listening for a long time.

Only then did Feng Jianxuan slowly say, "Even if he hasn't done anything, the scheme that involved Chen Cang can still give him a hint when Prince Yu is unable to come up with a solution. Confusing the opponent was a common tactic used on the battlefield. As for how to confuse the opponent, that would depend on the general's ability. Obviously, Prince Yu already had the ability to do so. As for the spy's warning, he is telling the prince to be careful. Whether or not there is one, he must be prepared.

That makes sense. Let's talk about the second one.

A strategy is to let the prince listen to the intentions of the others and find a solution from the tactics of the others. If there is a fine job, it would be more convenient. If there isn't a fine job, it would be very easy to create a fine job with the intelligence of the prince."

Finished speaking, Feng Jianxuan glanced at the people around her.

CHAPTER 102 - SCRUPLE

The Emperor really didn't expect that the words he'd spoken just now would come from such a girl. His mind and thoughts were absolutely not much better than those who'd preached a truce all day.

If such people were on the battlefield, wouldn't that be a blessing for the Great Wu?

How did you come up with that?

The emperor's interest in Feng Jianxuan grew. This kind of woman, if she could really become a virtuous wife, would be able to assist the Emperor.

When I was young, I did not have a master at the border. My father taught my daughter how to read, and what I learned were the words' military strategy '. The books I read were all about the successes or failures of the war over the years. Although I followed my father into the capital and now have a master, learning how to be a girl, when I see the map of the border, all of this naturally appeared in my mind."

Feng Jianxuan could only cover it up like this. If the emperor were to find out that she was someone who had come back to life, then he would be frightened, and he might even take her life.

An extraordinary woman. Truly an extraordinary woman.

Since the emperor had already said such a thing, he had a very high opinion of Feng Jianxuan.

Ouyang Lin, who was standing beside her, also broke into a cold sweat. It seemed that his worries were unnecessary. Feng Jianxuan had dealt with this matter beautifully. Ouyang Lin had not expected such a skillful response.

However, Ouyang Lin felt that things were not as simple as she said. It was not bad for the emperor to say such words, but under the circumstances, it definitely would not have been the case.

Now that you've made such a huge contribution to the war in the Heaven Lake Divine Kingdom, I can't pretend that I didn't know. I still have to give you a bit of reward, otherwise, others would have to say that my rewards and punishments were not clear.

Your majesty's words are too serious. Your subject's daughter is a child of the Martial Kingdom. If the borders of the Martial Kingdom cannot be defended, your subject's life will also be threatened. This subject only did so to save herself. "

When the emperor saw Feng Jianxuan answer him so earnestly, it seemed like she was indeed without desires or requests. This kind of girl was even rarer, as the emperor, he naturally couldn't remain silent.

You are now the ruler of the country, but this time you are going to do something else.

Hearing the emperor's words, Feng Jianxuan was a little flustered. If the emperor really did bestow a reward upon her, then her father would become even more of a target for public criticism within the imperial court.

Being too powerful was not a good thing for one person.

Especially when Feng Lin Xiao's battle achievements were illustrious. In the eyes of everyone, he was the hero who protected the Martial Great Kingdom.

However, this kind of achievement was something that an emperor would never be able to accept.

Your majesty, your subject is very satisfied now. If Your Majesty truly wishes to bestow a reward, I ask that Your Majesty reward your servant with some gold and silver jewelry. Girls still prefer these things, and those titles are just a sham. "

Feng Jianxuan said with a smile. If a person didn't want money or a name, then what she wanted was hard to understand.

People who were hard to understand would definitely make others think too much and too much, and the more they thought, the more suspicious they would be.

She really is a little girl. When the emperor heard her words, his face lit up with happiness. Knowing that Feng Jianxuan wasn't someone who was ambitious, he felt a lot more at ease, Of course it's good. This way, Zhen will send people to the warehouse to search for some jewelry to give you.

It can't get any better. Thank you, your majesty, for your gift. Feng Jianxuan quickly knelt down to thank him.

When they left the study, Feng Jianxuan felt the sweat on her back had made her clothes wet. She really hadn't thought that talking to the emperor would be so tiring.

It was clearly just a few words with the Emperor. Unexpectedly, the Emperor's suspicion did indeed grow a bit.

As an emperor, it was incredibly hard.

What you said just now was very good. I was a burden. If I didn't want to win some honor for you, then naturally, such a thing wouldn't have happened.

Ouyang Lin and Feng Jianxuan walked side by side towards the door. As long as they walked to the entrance and got into the carriage, they would be able to go home.

Hearing Ouyang Lin's grumbling voice, Feng Jianxuan could only helplessly laugh. She lightly shook her head and said, No one would easily let this go, not to mention that he is His Majesty now.

Feng Yinxiao was currently in the upper echelons of the imperial court, and he was usually the one with the best ideas. Moreover, he'd always admonished the Emperor, and he didn't know how much the Emperor's grudge against him had reached over the past few years.

Seeing Feng Jianxuan's worried expression, Ouyang Lin felt very upset. Gently pulling her wrist, he smiled and said, What are you saying today? Let's go to the lake. There are some things I need to tell you. When we're done talking, how about I invite you to Heshai to eat their new dishes?

Really?

Seriously!

Hearing that there was good food to be had, Feng Jianxuan did not feel that anything was amiss. She did not even return home, but instead bought a set of clothes and sent a servant back home. She followed Ouyang Lin to Wenyi Lake.

Now that the flowers were blooming, there were more and more people on the Enlightenment Lake. There were small boats filled with three or four friends sitting inside. Drinking and recounting poems, it was a very enjoyable life.

I wonder what business do you have with me?

Song Xinyan knew that whenever Ouyang Lin had something important to tell her, he would come to the lake.

In this place, there were only Feng Jianxuan and Xiao Cui. He brought Ancient Mausoleum, and sometimes, there wasn't even a boat that could hold up the boat. Ancient Mausoleum even acted as a boat that could hold up the boat.

You can hide what you said in the palace today from the emperor, but you can't hide it from me. Tell me, how did you know there was a spy? Is it just that embroidery?

Feng Zixuan didn't want to reveal her true situation, so she could only smile and nod, asking, What else? What else can I do? It's just a guess. Even if it isn't, it wouldn't be bad for you to be careful."

What you're saying is that you have many, many secrets that I don't know about. Since you've investigated the Phoenix Tail Flower, don't you know that those people are from the Martial Kingdom? Although the Heaven Lake Country does have the embroidery of the Phoenix Tail Flower, the embroidery on their arms is not only limited to just the Phoenix Tail Flower."

Hearing Ouyang Lin's words, Feng Jianxuan froze for a moment. Could it be that there was something else?

I don't understand what you mean. What do you mean, not just the Phoenix Tail Flower?

Although Feng Jianxuan had checked, the books she could read were few. Some things could not be seen, and there was no way to compare them. She had no idea what the difference was between what he was referring to and what he was talking about.

Look.

As he spoke, Ouyang Lin dipped his finger in the wine and melted two flowers on the table.

CHAPTER 103 - UGLINESS BAG

Feng Jianxuan saw that the two were indeed slightly different, so she said, These two were both Phoenix Tail Flowers, but this one was a little more than a leaf, is there any difference?

He's really stupid. He's already at this stage, and he still doesn't know what's going on? Hearing Ouyang Lin's words, Feng Jianxuan really wanted to punch him.

It could not be said that she had already known about it in her previous life and that there was a spy in this battle. If she said it out loud, she might be taken for a fool by Ouyang Lin.

If you want to say it, then say it. What's the point of suspending your appetite?

Feng Jianxuan displayed a very impatient look, but in her heart, she was very curious. She wanted to know what exactly was going on with the embroidery. If she really could find out, then she might be able to uncover the person hiding in the mansion.

This is the Phoenix-Tail Flower, and this one with leaves is the Three Immortal Grass that you mentioned earlier.

Listening to Ouyang Lin's explanation, Feng Jianxuan took a closer look and finally understood what was going on. No wonder she felt that the pattern of this leaf was so familiar, and that the abstract pattern on it had characteristics of the Three Immortal Grasses.

Spiral leaves were the Three Immortal Grasses' most unique characteristic. Not every place had these things. Furthermore, embroidery was mostly based on where one lived, so it was likely one would choose something one was familiar with as a totem.

However, the Three Immortal Grass was far from a Martial Grand Master. How could it be related here?

"What do you know? If you know, you can't hide it from me, okay? There is still one person in my family who has not been exposed. I have already investigated the wrists of all the servants and maids. When Feng Jianxuan said this, she saw Ouyang Lin gently nod his head.

Ouyang Lin also did not get any results from his investigation. He just hoped that this little discovery would make Feng Jianxuan feel something.

Feng Jianxuan frowned slightly, then said, It looks like I really have to be a bit more careful. I wonder how these people came to the Prime Minister's Hall with their sharp heads, but the Prime Minister's residence is not what they really saw.

These words sounded a little miserable. Ouyang Lin could understand the meaning behind Feng Jianxuan's words. After all, to Feng Jianxuan, the Prime Minister's Estate had always stood at the top of the dynasty's imperial court after so many years. No matter what tricks the Minister did, whether it was in the open or in the dark, Feng Lin Xiao never felt the slightest bit of influence.

But even so, there were still people who were unwilling to let go of the Feng Family. Moreover, it was true that the Feng Family was being highly valued by the Emperor.

In the eyes of the court officials, this was a group attack. Moreover, the monarch could not be on the same side as the current Feng Family.

Only now did Feng Jianxuan truly understand the meaning behind the words spoken by the emperor. If Feng Jianxuan didn't plan on marrying the emperor's son, the Feng Family wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Only recently did she come to understand it. Only when she did, did she realize that the emperor had already warned her a long time ago, but she spent months to truly understand his meaning.

What are you thinking about?

"Nothing, I'm hungry, let's go eat. You said you wanted to treat me to a meal.

Feng Jianxuan stood up. Perhaps it was because she hadn't eaten breakfast in the morning, or perhaps the fact that her clothes were so bulky made her unable to breathe. Even after she changed clothes, she still felt dizzy from not eating anything at all.

Furthermore, when he suddenly stood up, his vision went black, his body became unsteady, and he fell down.

Ouyang Lin immediately embraced her and looked at her with concern, afraid that something might happen to her.

You're so weak, are you having trouble sleeping or eating?

It was indeed like that, but Feng Jianxuan didn't want to admit it. She also didn't know what had happened to her. She just felt that she might just be in a bad mood.

No worries, I'll be fine after a rest. Feng Jianxuan wanted to struggle free from his embrace, but Ouyang Lin's grip tightened.

How about you be my wife and I protect you for the rest of your life?

Interesting. Who doesn't know that the royal family has always had three wives and four concubines? No. He had no idea how many concubines he would have to prepare, even if he were to say that he had three or four concubines. I don't have that kind of luck to be able to enter the prince's mansion. I only have one wish in my life.

After Feng Jianxuan finished speaking, she broke free from Ouyang Lin's embrace and walked outside.

She knew that whether it was Ouyang Lin or Ouyang Yu, even if it was an ordinary family, as long as they had a rich family background, how could they only have a single wife?

In this country, marrying a wife or taking in a few concubines was an extremely common occurrence. Anyone who only had a single wife would become the biggest joke in the world.

As the boat approached the shore, Feng Yanxuan led Xiao Cui forward and said, Since it's Ouyang Lin, you must pick one.

He whispered to Xiao Cui, seeing her snicker, he lightly squeezed her hand.

When they arrived at the Hengju, the group of people took their seats in the private room. Here, they could be unaffected by anyone.

After confirming that there was no one beside her, Feng Jianxuan turned to Ouyang Lin and said, Prince Yu, a single meal isn't enough. Since I've helped you so much, you have to agree to three of my promises.

Of course. Even if it's for those warriors who didn't die in vain, I can still promise you three things. Tell me.

When Ouyang Lin said these words, he saw Feng Jianxuan's face reveal a proud smile as she slowly enunciated each word, I didn't expect that when I have made up my mind, I would naturally inform Your Highness. I hope that Your Highness is prepared.

You're a bit of a scoundrel. Ouyang Lin said with a smile.

Compared to you, I'm still a bit lacking. As Feng Jianxuan spoke, she glanced at the purse hanging on his waist.

Seeing this, Gu Ling suddenly laughed.

Xiao Cui was stunned, these few people had just said a few words, what were they laughing at?

I was wondering where King Yu picked up that bag. The workman was so crude, and he even wore it on his person, really …

Say one more word. Do you believe that I won't poison you?!

Although she did not know who he was, she was completely able to ignore the fact that he was a prince by Ouyang Lin's side. He looked like he was on equal footing, and even in her previous life, she did not know much about the origins of this ancient tomb.

Gu Ling said with a smile, I don't dare, I won't say it out loud.

Xiao Cui then understood the meaning behind their laughter, and laughed with her head down.

CHAPTER 104 - EDICT

Feng Jianxuan didn't think that everyone would know about her gift of a purse. This wasn't a good thing at all. If someone was willing to use it as a piece of news, it would most likely bring about a lot of trouble in the future.

This purse is so ugly, why don't you put it away or throw it away?

As Feng Jianxuan said this, her expression remained calm. She even raised her teacup and looked out of the window, seemingly not caring at all. It was just that her actions were a little too deliberate.

No, this is something This King loves. Furthermore, This King has promised to wear it at all times.

Ouyang Lin was really thick-skinned. To be able to say such words in front of them, they clearly already knew what had happened. If he said such words, wouldn't he want everyone to know what the two of them had?

You …

Honored guests, the dishes have been served. At this time, the waiter suddenly came in, interrupting them from speaking. He had truly helped Ouyang Lin a great deal.

Your reward.

Ouyang Lin was generous and handed over a silver ingot to the waiter.

After the meal, Feng Jianxuan did not even say a single word to Ouyang Lin. Instead, she finished her meal and left in a hurry.

Returning to the Prime Minister's Estate, the more Feng Jianxuan thought about it, the angrier she got. This sort of thing couldn't be shown to others in the first place, he was actually the one who couldn't wait to show it to everyone in the world.

Xiao Cui, tell me, how can there be someone as shameless as Ouyang Lin in this world? Feng Jianxuan was so angry that she lost her tongue. When she said those words, she saw Xiao Cui standing at the side, grinning from ear to ear.

Miss, he really likes the thing you gave him. That's why he made such a gesture. Otherwise, he would surely want others to be unable to see it.

Xiao Cui was happy for her as well. Previously, she hadn't received any response from Ouyang Yu. This had already caused her to lose face.

Now that Prince Yu doted on her purse and was worried about Feng Jianxuan at all times, coupled with Ouyang Yu's pursuit of Feng Jianxuan, wasn't this a sign that the Prime Minister's Estate had already regained its face?

Even so, Feng Jianxuan was still unable to accept it. She frowned slightly and said, You're on the same side as him. Even if I told you, it would be useless. Go and make me a cinnamon candy, so as not to get in my way.

Although Feng Jianxuan said this, she didn't show any signs of getting angry. Instead, she didn't know what was going on and felt a bit flustered in her heart.

He had thought that this matter would end here, but who knew that the empress would send an edict to the Prime Minister's Mansion? She didn't even have the qualifications to make Feng Jianxuan claim her illness.

Miss, what should we do?

After seeing the imperial edict, Xiao Cui's heart was also sweating for Feng Jianxuan. After all, the empress had invited her to the palace to admire the flowers, and if she didn't go, that would be disobeying the decree.

Today, when I entered the palace, the empress found out about this news and sent someone to deliver the imperial edict. Her intention is obvious. She must be here for me. If I refuse, it might be detrimental to the Prime Minister's estate, so we have to go.

She just didn't know what Empress Lu wanted to do.

The next morning, Feng Jianxuan had already arrived at the palace entrance. Coincidentally, Shi Ying Ying's car had also stopped. Feng Jianxuan alighted and saw Shi Ying Ying. She had become more haggard in the past few months.

Little sister, what a coincidence, we actually bumped into each other at the entrance of the palace.

Feng Jianxuan had pretended from the start not to know about her schemes, so now she was also the same. She absolutely could not show any emotions. Even though she knew Shi Ying Ying was committing a crime, she still looked at her with a pained expression.

Good day, sister. Shi Yingying didn't lose etiquette and said, Originally, my little sister hadn't gone out at all these days. Even the last few times she was in bed, she didn't have the time to come over. The weather is not bad today, and I've already recovered. Father and Mother advised me to take a walk outside, so I came out.

When Shi Ying Ying said this, her face looked really sickly. It was as if she felt pity for him when she saw him.

Even though Feng Jianxuan was looking at him, she felt her heart ache. She quickly pulled her hand and asked with concern, How is little sister's body? I was frightened when you were sitting in the carriage in my arms, and your blood had already dyed my hands red.

Thank you so much for elder sister's care. If elder sister didn't save me, I'm afraid that my small life would have already gone to see King Yama.

She was on the verge of tears when she said this. If this had happened in her previous life, Feng Jianxuan would definitely feel heartache. She would definitely think of a way to make her life happier, perhaps even doing everything she could to compensate her.

However, at this moment, when Feng Jianxuan saw her glistening teardrops, she only had one thought in her mind. It was nothing more than deceiving herself in order to obtain sympathy.

Previously, I was always in trouble. After being taught by my father and brother, I spent my days at home embroidering flowers to make a woman's red. I truly wanted to go visit my sister, but I never got out of the house. I have seen it today and it has resolved the worry in my heart.

This caused sister to worry, it's my fault.

Miss, quickly go in. It's almost time. Hearing Xiao Cui's urging, Feng Jianxuan quickly pulled Shi Ying Ying's hand and walked inside.

As they walked, they said, Let's just enjoy the flowers today and don't worry about anything else. No matter what other things there are, they don't concern themselves with our affairs. We are only responsible for being happy."

Big sister is right.

Shi Yingying had always been a good talker. From time to time, she would speak to Feng Jianxuan without end.

But today was different. She didn't want to say even one more word. It seemed like this injury was a big blow to her.

Along the way, Feng Jianxuan talked about some interesting things, like celebrating her brother's birthday. She seemed to be trying to make Shi Ying Ying smile, but in reality, she just didn't want Shi Ying Ying Ying to think that she was being too distant from her brother.

Arriving at the empress's central palace was indeed filled with flowers. It looked like the emperor had always treated Empress Lu well.

The empress is very calm. Feng Jianxuan bowed in greeting.

No need to be so courteous. It's good that you came. I knew that you were not feeling well and you were unable to come. I wonder how much I have lost. Empress Lu helped Feng Jianxuan up, held her hand, and lightly patted it as she said, You've really lost a lot of weight. I'm afraid the mansion's people aren't considerate enough to take care of you.

Thank you for your concern, esteemed empress. The household has taken great care of her, but this subject's daughter didn't eat so much in the summer, so she has lost some weight. There's no harm in looking at her younger sister, which is a little sickly.

CHAPTER 105 - RIGHTS

The reason why Feng Jianxuan said such words on purpose was because she knew that the relationship between Ouyang Yu and Shi Yingying was unshakable. If their relationship could be made public, she would be interested to see how they would end it.

Seeing that, Empress Lu shook her head with a smile and said: The Da Wu Empire always focuses on force. Regardless of man or woman, a robust body is the best. For sickly beauty, this kind of thing isn't too good.

Obviously, even though Empress Lu knew that Shi Ying Ying Ying's father was a scholar, her attitude was still the same. It was obvious that she didn't like Shi Ying Ying.

It looked like she'd decided on him and insisted on her being Ouyang Yu's wangfei?

Feng Jianxuan was somewhat unhappy in her heart, but there were still some things that she couldn't say directly.

I had nothing better to do today, so I decided to take a look and have a casual chat. It's better if I don't have to worry about it. Empress Lu had always been holding Feng Jianxuan's hand. Now, the surrounding noble young ladies were extremely envious of her.

Everyone knew that Feng Jianxuan was the second young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate. If she really did marry Ouyang Yu, none of them would have the right to say no. After all, her identity and position here matched her family background.

Feng Jianxuan could only smile apologetically, unable to say anything. After all, the marriage ceremony was in the Great Wu Country, and only her parents could say such a thing. As a daughter, there was no point in saying anything.

Today, since you've come to my place, I'll have a good time. I've prepared a gift for you, and knowing that you've helped out in this war, the emperor specifically instructed me to prepare it for you.

Hearing the empress's words, Feng Jianxuan suddenly had a bad premonition.

If he had only sent someone to the Prime Minister's Palace, it was only to reward him with some gold and silver jewelry.

If the Queen were to personally bestow it, the meaning would be different. There were some female servants here, as well as some wives and daughters of senior officials of the imperial court. If the rewards were given to her in front of them, she would probably make them return home and tell her everything about the events of the day.

If it was only the truth, then it didn't matter. These women were the best at gossiping, and it was very easy to make things according to their imagination. At that time, they might not even be able to change their appearance.

It was hard to tell whether this was a blessing or a curse.

Feng Jianxuan was a little worried, but she couldn't help but reveal a happy expression. She smiled at Empress Lu and said, Many thanks to esteemed empress for the gift. This subject is truly flattered.

No worries. In the past few days, Yu'er has been looking for me. I hope that I can make some arrangements for you. He wants to go out with you for a bit, I wonder if you'd like to? "

Leisure? Feng Jianxuan was truly shocked. If this were outside, she would have had some reason to decline, but in front of the empress, it was really embarrassing to say these words. If she rejected her son in front of him, she'd probably be filled with resentment, right?

Thinking of this, Feng Jianxuan became even more uncertain.

That's right. It's just a matter of admiring the flowers in the lake and opposing poems. Hearing the empress's words, Feng Jianxuan had no way to stubbornly refuse. Furthermore, she hadn't seen Ouyang Yu for a long time, and she had no idea what he had been doing recently.

He was a shrewd man. He had been crippled because of a mistake. He would not give up so easily. He was afraid that he would have other plans. When the time came, who knew who he was going to plot against?

Feng Jianxuan smiled and said, Since the empress has already spoken, this subject naturally cannot refuse. I only hope that Prince Mu can tell this subject about it. After all, it's better to discuss where to go for this trip.

Since she was already relieved, she might as well meet Ouyang Yu. In any case, she had already agreed to it.

If she dared not go, he naturally had a way to punish her.

Alright, how about you let Yu'er come to the Palace in the next month?

Alright.

Feng Zixuan agreed, but in her heart, she felt an unspeakable disgust. She had no idea what Empress Lu and Ouyang Yu were scheming.

Ouyang Yu was unable to be careless. For example, that time, if it wasn't for Ouyang Lin, perhaps the raw rice would have already been cooked to a ripe meal.

If Ouyang Yu had schemed against her like this, then even if Feng Jianxuan didn't want to marry him, she wouldn't be able to. This was truly the most difficult thing to talk about.

After Feng Jianxuan agreed to Empress Lu's request, she actually wasn't as enthusiastic as before. Instead, she let Feng Jianxuan go and went to entertain others.

Xiao Cui rushed over to Feng Jianxuan's side and asked in a low voice, I can see that Miss looks terrible, but are you not feeling well?

We'll talk about it after we return to the manor. Something has indeed happened. Feng Jianxuan said helplessly. This time around, the others were all having fun admiring the flowers. They commented on these words and expressed their opinions one by one.

However, when Feng Jianxuan looked at these flowers, she was already in no mood to admire them. She didn't know what she would face tomorrow. What was Ouyang Yu planning to do that even the empress had come? It seemed that he had no way to personally invite him, nor was he even able to meet him face to face. He was already at the end of his wits.

After much difficulty surviving, Empress Lu had indeed taken out the reward in front of everyone, and personally handed it over to Feng Jianxuan. She smiled and said, "Everyone needs to learn from the second young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate. Even if it's a woman, putting the country in the most important position in your heart is still the most important.

After Empress Lu finished speaking, she smiled at Feng Jianxuan and said, Don't forget our agreement.

Esteemed Empress, don't worry. Since this subject's already agreed, I naturally won't go back on my words.

That's for the best.

When Feng Jianxuan was leaving with Xiao Cui, Shi Ying Ying came to her side. From the start, Shi Ying Ying had always been surrounded by people, after all, she was still a person who hadn't recovered from her illness. Those people's concern for her had all been mixed in, and after all, no one had come to visit her at the mansion.

Elder sister, the empress is still as good to you as ever. It looks like she still cares about you.

Even though she had already suffered such heavy injuries, she didn't forget to speak up for Ouyang Yu when she heard Shi Ying Ying say this. It seemed that Ouyang Yu really should have taken her in that year.

That's right. I understand Esteemed Empress' meaning. Even though I didn't say it directly, she took care of me in every aspect. I hope I can meet with Prince Mu once.

Feng Jianxuan paused before continuing, This man, when you were good to him, he just didn't know how to cherish it. When you're done with him, turn around and leave, he'll be in a hurry. That sentence of Prince Mu is really the best expression of his words.

CHAPTER 106 - A QUEEN IS A QUEEN

By now, Feng Jianxuan could be considered by everyone. Ouyang Yu had taken a fancy to her, and even Empress Lu was holding her hand to speak. With the two of them
