When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down

Chapter 91: Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary

Yan Li didn't think much about anything else and took the carriage all the way back to Jiang's house.

A lot of things happened during this period, one after another, and she barely had much time to rest. Although she didn't want to delve into many things, the palace was a place of intrigue. If many things were not said on the surface, it did not mean that they were in the heart. Not sure.

Ever since her engagement was broken off by the prince, her life has been rough, one wave after another.

If it weren't for the emperor's favoritism and some self-preservation, even two more Yan Li wouldn't be enough for them to bully and plot.

After washing and changing clothes in the evening, Yan Li leaned on the bedside and read a book. The interior was quiet and soft.

But she couldn't help but think of things in the South.

In the days since she was reborn in Mu Guo Yanli, she has never deliberately thought about things in the Southern Kingdom. But just because she didn't think about it, it didn't mean that it didn't exist, and it didn't mean that those things didn't happen.

Two years after taking the throne, just after stabilizing the government, the empress 늀 suddenly passed away. Is there any unrest in the Southern Kingdom now?

Did her royal brothers take the opportunity to win over the courtiers in an attempt to replace her?

Did the person who betrayed her do it for his own selfish reasons, or was he bribed?

The army of the Southern Kingdom was strong and the country was stable. Although the various families competed in separate chambers, most of the people who occupied the center of power in the court were loyal to her, whether they were civil servants or military generals.

So even if the accident happened suddenly, it would not be chaotic within a year and a half. She would have enough time to find out the truth.

But she had to go back as soon as possible.

Yan Li closed her eyes and thought about what reasons she should give to leave the country of Mu and return to the south country openly.

"Princess." Seeing her leaning against the bed with her eyes closed, Grandma An thought she was too tired, so she reminded her, "It's bedtime. Princess, please rest early."

Yan Li came to his senses: "Is there any movement in the Jiang family today?"

"There is no big news, but the fact that Miss Jiang learned the rules has made the whole Jiang family uneasy." Aunt An said, "Mrs. Jiang is so distressed that she sheds tears every time, and the three young masters curse in private, and occasionally I complained a few words about the princess and said that she was unreasonable, but I didn’t dare to say anything more outrageous.”

Yan Li hummed, noncommittal.

She decided to take a good rest tomorrow, ignoring everyone's invitations, and let her ears be quiet.

But Yan Li soon discovered that he was serious.

She wants her ears to be quiet, but that doesn't mean everyone is willing to let her ears be quiet.

Yan Li had just gotten up in the morning when she heard a noise in front of her, respectful voices accompanied by a few scoldings. She had been sleeping lightly, so she was inevitably woken up.

"Mother An."

"Princess." Nanny An walked in and proactively reported, "The seventh princess is here."

Although the Seventh Princess is the seventh in rank, she is the only legitimate princess under the Queen's knees. She is of noble birth and no one dares to neglect her.

Now that she's here, won't the Jiang family mobilize their troops to welcome the princess?

Yan Li frowned and turned to look at the window: "It's just light, right? Why is Mu Xue coming to Jiang's house so early?"

The majestic princess is not a eunuch delivering edicts, so does she need to get up early in the morning to deliver some oral edicts?

Yan Li thought about Muxue's identity. Although she thought she might have come to find Jiang Jingyue, this possibility was unlikely, especially since she was yelling at Liuliyuan early in the morning and seemed to be coming for her. .

As soon as this idea flashed through my mind, a domineering voice sounded from behind: "Princess Nanyang is really arrogant! It's really different to be favored by her father. She not only gives her elders a break every day, but also allows her to take care of herself. The whole family looks at your face, this princess is not as comfortable as you!"

Yan Li lay back on the bed quietly, not wanting to pay attention to her at all.

But she knew in her heart that if Muxue came here specifically to find trouble, no matter whether she ignored it or not, it would not stop him from seeking trouble. Indifference would only make her push forward and make things worse.

So she raised her hand to lift the curtain and told Qinglian: "Washing up."

"yes."

"Yan Li!" Muxue's voice became more and more domineering, with a sharp command, "Get out of here!"

Nanny An frowned, turned around and walked out, saluting Muxue respectfully: "Seventh Princess."

Mu Xue looked at her coldly: "Where is Yan Li?"

"Princess Nanyang just got up and is still washing up. Please wait a moment, Princess Seven."

Muxue raised her chin and spoke in a arrogant tone: "This princess is going to see the old lady of the Jiang family now and drink tea with her. After Yan Li washes and changes clothes, let her go and give me a gift, otherwise I will never be done with her!"

Yan Li heard clearly in the room, but there was no reaction. After changing clothes and washing up, she had breakfast prepared and sat down to enjoy breakfast leisurely.

Muxue wanted to give him some power, and wanted to suppress her as the legitimate princess, but she had to see if she was willing.

However, while Yan Li was eating breakfast, he suddenly remembered something: "The queen's mother clan is not in the imperial city?"

During this period of time, she had come into contact with quite a few noble girls, including the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's family, the princess of the prince's palace, the minister of household affairs, the palace of the protector of the country... but no one from the uncle's palace came to trouble her.

Compared with the attitude of the Queen and Muxue towards her, this is obviously unreasonable.

Nanny An was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "The Guo family is the vassal king of the Mu Kingdom. They are stationed in the fiefdom all year round. They cannot return to the capital at will without the order."

Yan Li was slightly surprised. The daughter of the vassal king entered the palace as the queen, and the son was directly named the crown prince?

"The Guo family is in a special situation. A hundred years ago, they were the founding ministers. Later, they displeased the emperor because of their flamboyant behavior and gradually declined." Nanny An explained in a low voice, "During the time of the previous emperor, the Guo family was no longer as powerful as before. The previous emperor intended to reduce the power of the vassal states, but he had no reason to do so. Later, he decided to give the daughter of the Guo family to the prince as a concubine. Until the previous emperor passed away and the current emperor ascended the throne, Princess Guo became the queen. The power of the Guo family vassal kings was much greater than before. In recent years, I heard that they have been secretly recruiting soldiers and expanding the scale of their troops, which has long displeased the emperor."

Yan Li frowned slightly. The queen and the prince did not know how to restrain their daily behavior even though they displeased the emperor?

"There is another reason." Nanny An lowered her voice. "Before the emperor ascended the throne, he did not like the queen, but liked the daughter of the Jiang family - your mother, but your mother was not of low birth at that time, and she was from the family of the Grand Tutor. She was familiar with poetry and books since childhood, and had the pride and nobility of a talented woman. It was impossible for her to be a concubine. So the emperor wanted your mother to be the crown princess, but the late emperor did not agree."

Yan Li lowered her head in silence and ate a mouthful of bird's nest. It seemed that Emperor Zhaocheng really loved Jiang Yi but could not get her. No wonder he favored Jiang Yi's daughter so much.

"Princess Nanyang is really arrogant." A nanny's voice sounded at the door, "Our legitimate princess is drinking tea with the old lady of the Jiang family, but Princess Nanyang is here eating leisurely. Doesn't she take the legitimate princess seriously?"
