The Consort in Power

In April, the empress gave a banquet for the female members of the family of officials above the third rank; Zhuo Xiuwen, the wife of the minister of war, brought Yu Mi and Yu Xuan into the palace …

In the Phoenix Palace, a hundred noble wives and daughters saluted the empress. At the door, they called out, "Minister of War, Kieran's family members are here!"

Looking at Yu Mi who was following behind Zhuo Xiuwen, she waved and said, "Mi Er, come to my side quickly. A few days ago, I heard that something had happened to you, and this really made me and your Crown Prince Big Brother worry for a while.

Yu Mi smiled sweetly and walked a few steps forward, but Yu Mi still greeted them courteously, "maidservant Qin Yumi greets the Empress and the ladies!"

"Hehe, I, Mi Er, am a good child. Come, come sit by my side."

As she sat beside the empress and saw her kind eyes looking at her, the empress clapped her hands in the end and said, "Mi Er, in a few days, when you have reached the age of 15, I will come to ask the emperor to let you and the Ninth Prince …"

"Empress, Mi Er is still young, let alone the dragon and phoenix among the Ninth Prince's men. Regarding this matter, I think …"

"Hehehe, look, I, Mi Er am being bashful, I will not say it, I will not say it!"

Raising her head to take a look, the empress pursed her lips and said, "Hmm, not bad. Beautiful with the flow of skin and soft bones, her waist. She really does have the look of a fox." Lord Qin's daughter is indeed not bad. "

Some of the noblewomen seated around the table could not help but laugh secretly. Qin Yuxuan's face was green and red, but she still gritted her teeth and retreated to the side.

The banquet started. Other than the constant chattering and compliments, they could no longer see anything spectacular.

Suddenly, Yu Mi heard the Madame Prime Minister praise him: "Madam Qin, I've long heard that the noble daughter, Miss Yu Mi, is a talented lady who does everything in the world. Seeing her today, hehe, not only are her talents outstanding, her looks are also the best in our Shengjing!"

"That's right. Look at him. He's only twelve years old, but he already has the appearance of a fish falling to the ground, a moon-like flower …" Another lady, the Minister of Revenue, interrupted.

"Madam, you are exaggerating; if you want to talk about talent, then it should be my eldest young mistress who is outstanding. Not to mention the movement produced by her delicate hands, even the Ninth Prince is mesmerized by it! Eldest young mistress, I can see that there are so many ladies in the hall today. Why don't Eldest young mistress show some of her skills so that everyone can gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be able to see through the heavens! Empress, do you think what Mi Er said was right? " Yu Mi blinked her eyes and smiled innocently at the Queen.

Empress Zhuo looked at Mi Er's cold eyes that carried a smile, then looked down at the beautiful face that seemed to be overwhelmed by favor. She nodded and said, "Since Mi Er said that your zither skills are impressive, then why not let everyone have their fill!"

Qin Yuxuan immediately stood up, and said in pleasant surprise: "Yes, maidservant has made a fool of herself!"

Mi Er sat down on the Cloud Platform as her jade-like hands turned, and the lovely sound of the zither flowed out. Mi Er turned her eyes and said softly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Empress is inviting us to dinner, why is everyone not taking any action?"

Raising their heads, they saw Mi Er cordially preparing food for the Empress, so everyone let go of their worries. The great hall was filled with words of assurance, as if no one was listening to the words from the heavens anymore.

As Qin Yuxuan sat there, the complacency on her face from the very beginning slowly turned into misery and finally, into a feeling of being wronged and conflicted … )

Some of the ladies raised their heads to look at the woman playing the zither and laughed mockingly as they whispered, "Just say that my daughter is hard to wait for. See, isn't this just a servant playing a song for everyone to relieve their boredom?"

Mi Er shook the things in the cup, her eyes were ice-cold and bone-piercing. Qin Yuxuan, this is only just the beginning …

Snorting with tears in her eyes, Yu Xuan sat in the backyard of the Phoenix Imperial Hall that was hosting a feast. She twisted the kernels in her hands and watched the groups of beautiful and flirtatious noble girls gather in groups of three or five, and then looked at the noblewomen that surrounded Yu Mi and her mother. She ground her teeth on the inside.

Yu Xuan stood up and walked out … When he saw them, his face lit up with a sense of calculation. He lowered his head and walked forward desolately, but he still bumped into them …

With a cry, he covered his forehead. A gust of cold wind blew next to him, and a sharp voice rang out: "How dare you offend several princes. What crime should you take?"

He raised his head slowly, tears still on his face. Seeing what had happened, Ling Mo Xiao said softly, "Don't be rude. This is the daughter of the Minister of War, Master Kieran. How can you, a servant, order her around?"

The young eunuch who accompanied him immediately lowered his head and retreated to the back; another man laughed out loud, "So it's the young miss of Lord Qin's residence, then you must be Mi Er's big sister, right?"

Raising his head to look at the handsome man before him, he slowly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Un, not bad!" Although her looks are not as good as Mi Er's, she could still be considered to be peerlessly beautiful. I never thought that the two daughters of the Lord Qin were both masters who could topple cities and overthrow nations! "

"Prince is too kind, how can Yu Xuan be one in ten thousand?!"

"Heh heh, you don't have to be so humble, my lady. "I saw eldest young mistress walking over from the Phoenix Imperial Hall, so I presume that today is the day for the empress to hold a feast. Why did eldest young miss come out by herself?"

"I... "This..." He bit his lip with difficulty and said indifferently, "It just so happens that Ninth Brother and I are going to pay our respects to the Queen Mother. Let's go together!"

Hearing that, Qin Yuxuan's face lit up with happiness, she followed the two of them back to the backyard …

The Queen Mother instantly quieted the previously bustling garden down. All the ladies from various families shyly willed themselves to attract the attention of the two princes.

However, Qin Yuxuan had seized the chance to expose herself; the Queen's smiling face instantly changed, but after a moment passed, she immediately asked in an amiable tone, "Why is the Eldest Miss with my son?"

The Crown Prince turned around and said softly, "Imperial Mother, just now, at the corridor, Ninth Brother bumped into Eldest Miss. I don't know why she was crying, but I brought her here!"

"Oh? Crying? What does Eldest Miss mean by this? " Empress Zhuo's face darkened.

Faintly panicking, Qin Yuxuan quickly kneeled to the ground, "Empress, it was Yu Xuan who was not paying attention just now. She fell to the ground herself, and that's why she ended up embarrassing herself in front of the two princes …"

"Hehe, aiya, Big Brother Crown Prince, you sure are lucky today! You don't know, my elder sister always falls down for no reason. Last time, when she fell in my backyard and injured my hand, I was punished by my father for no reason, and I was even scolded. After that, my elder sister fell into the pond again, and I was slapped in the face by my father … If not for my father's absence today, then Crown Prince would have been taught a lesson by my father! "

The Crown Prince raised his head and looked at the little girl beside his mother, and said with a frown, "Mi Er, Lord Qin dares to hit you? Crown Prince Big Brother must get an explanation from him! "

The empress's expression turned cold and harsh. She looked at her sister and said resentfully: "Xiu Wen, Mi Er has received such a huge beating, why didn't you come to the palace and tell me? My niece, it is not her place to command others! "

Zhuo Xiuwen sighed and whispered, "Empress, this has always been a family matter. Furthermore, the old master had already apologized, and Mi Er has forgiven her father."

Snorting coldly, the Crown Prince walked over and said: "Mi Er, you little girl, you just don't know how to think. After being bullied, you still don't know how to complain!"

Yu Mi lovingly pulled on the crown prince's hand and said: "Big brother crown prince, Mi Er knows her wrongs, if she is bullied by others again in the future, she will definitely be the first to find big brother crown prince!"

"What?" You still want to be bullied? "Little girl, I think you just don't have much memory. Looking at your appearance, it's best if you get Ninth Brother to marry you and protect you!" Ling Moqi tapped her forehead and laughed.

Yu Mi looked up and saw Ling Mo Xiao staring at him lovingly. Unknowingly, he felt disgusted; "Who doesn't know that there are many women who wish to marry the Ninth Prince like crucian carp in the river!"

"That's what they think, you are the only one in Ninth Brother's heart. Also, why did they call you Ninth Prince for no reason? "That's so strange!"

Curling his lips, Yu Mi coldly snorted in his heart, and said in the end: "Big Brother Crown Prince, there must be rules."

The sightseeing in the rear hall gradually caused the crowd to disperse. Three to five groups of noble ladies were leisurely chatting about the recent happenings in the Shengjing.

The crown prince shook his head as he looked at Yu Mi, who was hiding beside the empress, then walked forward to pull Yu Mi away from him. He smiled and said, "Ninth brother, Mi Er hasn't entered the palace in a long time.

"Mi Er, I know that you're blaming Big Brother Mo for not being able to save you in time, but I really didn't know that something had happened to you at that time.

"En!" Yu Mi snorted.

"Mi Er, I know my wrongs, and in the future, I will definitely follow by your side closely. I won't let you get hurt again, and when you're old enough …"

"Ninth Prince, are you done speaking? I'm tired! "

"Ah?" "Oh, then, let's sit down for a while and rest!"

Ling Moxiao gently helped Yu Mi to sit down. Lifting her eyes slightly, she saw the shadow that was hidden by the arched door, and a sneer appeared on her face. She turned around and grabbed Ling Moxiao's hand, and said, "Big Brother Mo, tell me, which one of us do you like, my big sister and I?"

Ling Mo Xiao was slightly stunned, but immediately replied, "Mi Er, why would you suddenly mention your elder sister? You should know that in my heart, you are the only one! "
