Chapter 427 Don’t Judge a Person by Appearance

Yan Li guessed that these six people were originally planning to show their courtesy and loyalty.

After all, the women in the inner courtyard came to welcome the princess. As male favorites, if they did not show their loyalty, wouldn’t it be too cold and disrespectful?

However, no one expected that the princess would deal with Duan Yaoshu right away, which immediately made the others stop thinking about it.

Although they were all sent to the princess’s mansion on the same day, they didn’t know each other’s details very well, because they had different positions and the masters behind them were not the same person. ŴŴŴ.

They could only guess that the reason why Duan Yaoshu was dragged out and beaten to death should be related to this rebellion.

He should be someone of Concubine De and the Eighth Prince - or someone related to the Eighth Prince.

"Ling Feng." Yan Li ignored everyone's thoughts and looked at the black-clothed teenager kneeling in the first row: "Starting tomorrow, you don't have to stay in the princess's mansion anymore, go back to Yanling."

Ling Feng already knew that the princess knew his identity, so he was not surprised to hear this. He responded respectfully: "Yes."

This submissive attitude is completely different from his rebellious appearance when he first entered the mansion.

"Qi Yan, Wen Li." Yan Shu's eyes turned slightly, "Starting today, you will be the tutor of the regent princess, and you will go to court with me every day. When there are important matters, you can discuss politics with me."

Discuss politics?

The two teenagers kneeling in the second row and trembling raised their heads in surprise and looked at Qi Yan and Wen Li in front of them.

Let the male favorite be the tutor?

Why does the princess always make such amazing decisions?

Qi Yan and Wen Li said nothing, asked nothing, and just responded respectfully: "Yes."

"As for the two of you..." Yan Li turned his eyes to the last two boys, "What are your names?"

The two boys were pale: "My name is Qin Qi."

"My name is Qin Shu."

Yan Li smiled faintly: "Did Yan Jin really send you here as male concubines?"

The two were so scared that their faces turned pale and they kowtowed repeatedly: "I deserve to die! Please spare my life, Princess! Please spare my life, Princess!"

"Your master has been imprisoned, where are you two going to go?" Yan Li asked coldly, "It's not easy for him to train you for so many years Well, I think the two of them should be proficient in many skills. "

"We two slaves only learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and we don't know anything else. The fourth prince ordered us to please the princess and don't do anything else. We really didn't do anything. Since entering the princess's mansion, we have been obedient and cautious. We also ask the princess to be clear. "

"Proficient in everything?" Yan Li pondered, "Then send them to Nanfeng Pavilion."

The two begged for mercy: "Princess-"

"If you don't want to go, you can only die." Yan Li said indifferently, "Being beaten to death or Nanfeng Pavilion, you can choose."

The two were speechless and pale.

Yan Li ordered people to take them out and send them to Nanfeng Pavilion.

The six male favorites were dealt with in a blink of an eye, leaving only two, and Qi Yan and Wen Li soon got up and left.

"These two were left behind by the King of Yu. They have some skills and can be kept for reuse." Yan Li turned his head and looked out the window. "Is the Prince Consort satisfied with this treatment?"

Mu Cang, who had been standing by like an outsider watching the show, curled his lips when he heard this: "Satisfied."

Yan Li chuckled: "I'm going to take a bath and change clothes. You step aside first."

"As a husband, I am honored to serve your Highness in a bath."

Yan Li said in a light tone: "I don't care, but I'm just worried that someone can't stand it."

Mu Cang said calmly: "My husband has strong willpower."

Yan Li said nothing more, and the maids in the palace quickly helped her change clothes and take a bath.

Mu Cang also went out to find a place to change clothes.

Lunch was pleasant.

After the meal, the two took a nap for half an hour. After getting up, they began to call the housekeeper and the nanny to ask about the handling of the things that happened in the Princess's Mansion before and after the New Year, and explained a few things.

In the evening, Yan Li and Mu Cang went to the palace together and had dinner with the emperor and empress.

After a whole afternoon of adjusting their mood, the emperor and empress looked normal. They were very happy to see Yan Li and Mu Cang. After a few simple greetings, they ordered the palace servants to bring up a series of delicious meals.

"I was so happy to see you return safely this morning that I forgot to ask about your injuries." Emperor Wen frowned, "How could you get injured in Fenglu? The situation there is very dangerous?"

Yan Li did not answer but asked, "Your Majesty should have interrogated the governor Han Yunping and his concubine Shen Yunniang?"

"The Ministry of Justice has interrogated them." Emperor Wen nodded, with a gloomy look on his face, "Han Yunping said that all this was set up by Yan Jin, who deliberately led you there and wanted to get rid of you in Fenglu again."

Yan Li hummed, "That's true. Yan Jin has had dealings with Prince Dugu of Yan State for a long time. Prince Dugu brought his two princesses to marry the eldest son in the name of forcing the emperor to release Yan Zheng."

He really made a good calculation.

Emperor Wen looked grim: "I have raised so many good sons, each one is more scheming than the other!"

"I didn't expect that the most scheming person was Yan Jin," Jiang Yi said solemnly, "Looking gentle and elegant, he didn't expect that he was the most vicious."

Although Yan Yun was impulsive and reckless, and even had the idea of ​​regicide, he was always on the surface, and once a person is too impulsive and stupid, his vicious heart will not be so scary.

But Yan Jin has always been the best at disguising himself, pretending to be indifferent to the world, and once because of the hostility of Yan Zheng and Yan Chen, he tried to compensate Yan Li for the unfair treatment he received.

I didn't expect that among the four princes, he was the most secretive.

"You can't judge a person by his appearance." Yan Li took a bite of the food and said in a light tone, "The higher the position, the more dangers you face. I have been mentally prepared, so I don't feel disappointed."

She never had the so-called brother-sister relationship with the four princes, nor did she expect any family affection from them.

Mu Cang said, "The royal family has always been treacherous, not to mention that the struggle for the throne is a matter of conflicting interests. Brothers are not brothers, fathers and sons are not fathers and sons. Everyone only has power in their eyes. As long as they calculate, there is no need to have too high expectations for family affection."

"Mu Cang is right." Yan Li agreed, "It coincides with my thoughts."

The emperor and the queen saw them showing their affection so openly, and their expressions were subtle.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Wen finally talked about business: "Speaking of feelings... I wonder if the ninth prince has an inseparable feeling and responsibility for the royal family of Mu State?"

As soon as this question came out, Mu Cang and Yan Li instantly understood what he meant.

The problems between husband and wife will have to be faced sooner or later.

"In the next fifty years at least, Jin, Nan, and Mu..." Mu Cang said, pausing slightly, "maybe we can add Beijiang, there will be no war between the four countries, so it doesn't matter if I stay in Mu or Jin."
