Chapter 92 The Empress's Shadow Guard

Yan Li frowned: "Madame An, go out and tell those servants outside that if anyone shouts and disturbs my meal again, let the imperial guards beat them out."

"Yes."

Madame An went out to convey Yan Li's words, word for word, and stated it truthfully.

Madame Zhao, who was standing outside, came with Mu Xue. She was the chief madam beside the queen. She was always in power. Even the concubines in the harem had to give her three points of face when they saw her. She could almost walk sideways in and out of the harem.

No one had ever dared to be so rude to her.

After hearing what Nanny An said, Nanny Zhao was so angry that her face turned blue: "Nanny An, you are also from the palace, how come you don't know any rules? Princess Nanyang is young, and she is unscrupulous because of the emperor's favor. Shouldn't you persuade her? Princess Nanyang is a junior in the Jiang family. She is disrespectful to the old lady and Madam Jiang, which violates filial piety. Even if she is favored by the emperor, she shouldn't be like this-"

"Nanny Zhao." Nanny An doesn't like to be preached, and calmly interrupted her, "Princess Nanyang's privileges are given by the emperor. Do you want to argue with the emperor?"

Nanny Zhao's face sank.

"Before returning from the palace, the Emperor had already told me that no one was allowed to bully Princess Nanyang." Nanny An said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "The old lady and Madam Jiang of the Jiang family treated Princess Nanyang harshly before, so we can't expect Princess Nanyang to be respectful and filial to them. This is unreasonable. Moreover, the hierarchy between the monarch and his subjects comes before the elders. Nanny Zhao, don't say you don't understand this rule."

Nanny Zhao sneered: "So Nanny An's rule is to rely on the Emperor's favor and even ignore the Queen and the legitimate princess."

"Nanny Zhao is very good at making trouble." Nanny An looked at her calmly, "Princess Nanyang will never take the initiative to provoke anyone, but if someone comes to bully the princess, the princess will never be afraid."

Nanny Zhao looked ugly and looked at her without saying a word.

"I remember that the emperor seemed to have issued an order yesterday, not allowing the princesses to leave the palace at will." Nanny An showed a bit of sarcasm on her face, "I wonder if Nanny Zhao received the emperor's oral order from General Manager Xiao? Or did the queen or the legitimate princess knowingly violate the order and deliberately disobey it?" Tianlai Novel Network

Nanny Zhao's face changed, "When did the emperor issue the order?"

"Yesterday." Nanny An told her clearly, "Do you think I am outside the palace and don't know what the emperor has ordered?"

Nanny Zhao looked ugly, stared at Nanny An coldly, turned around and left.

Nanny An returned to the room. Yan Li put down the spoon and wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief: "Did the emperor issue an order?"

"Yes." Nanny An nodded, "Didn't the imperial concubine summon the princess to the palace yesterday? After the princess left, the eighth princess went to see the emperor. She originally wanted to complain, but she didn't expect the emperor to be furious and immediately ordered all the princesses living in the palace not to leave the palace again, and not to trouble you again."

Yan Li smiled and said, "In this case, we are idle today, so let's have a good fight with the legitimate princess."

Anyway, Mu Xue came to the door herself, and she came to the door on the premise of disobeying the order. If she makes trouble in front of the emperor later, she will never suffer.

"Qinglian, move a chair to the courtyard." Yan Li ordered, "Today is a beautiful spring day with picturesque scenery. This princess wants to lie in the courtyard to bask in the sun and spend a few days of leisure time before getting married."

"Yes." Qinglian directed the maid to act.

A recliner and a pearwood table

There was a thin blanket on the recliner, and a few plates of fruits and snacks on the table, as well as a pot of freshly brewed tea.

The girl lay lazily on the chair, swaying, her clean little face bathed in the morning light, her skin was white and smooth, and it was so soft that it could be blown away.

Her slender and white fingers pinched the bamboo sticks, picked up the cut fruits and put them into her mouth, squinting slightly, the sweet taste made people linger.

The sun was warm and pleasant, and the fragrance of flowers was refreshing.

Life was really comfortable.

However, a shocking roar broke the beauty in front of him: "Yan Li!"

Yan Li looked around and saw Mu Xue coming with a cold face, her beautiful eyes almost spitting fire: "I have been waiting for you in Ci'an Hall for so long, why didn't you come? You are so brave!"

Zhao Mama and Madam Jiang followed together, their expressions were all unfriendly.

"Seventh Princess saw it." Yan Li raised her hand and pointed at the sun. "The morning sun is nice. I'm basking in the sun. Are you interested in basking in the sun with me? Do you need a chair to move for you?"

"Yan Li!" Mu Xue gritted her teeth and stood in front of Yan Li, glaring at her. "Kneel down!"

Yan Li's expression was slightly restrained, and her beautiful eyes narrowed. She looked at her without saying a word: "Kneel down?"

"Yes." Mu Xue raised her chin. "This princess is the legitimate princess of the Central Palace, and the only legitimate daughter of my father. Why don't you kneel down for me?"

Yan Li smiled lazily: "I'm really sorry. I don't have the habit of kneeling down to others."

"You——"

"Why don't you go to the palace and ask the emperor if I need to kneel down to you, the legitimate princess?" Yan Li frowned and recalled, "I remember when the emperor issued an edict to confer me the title of Princess Nanyang, the original words were like this: Princess Nanyang has the same status as the legitimate princess and enjoys the title of the first rank. Do you know what the phrase 'same status as the legitimate princess' means?"

"Yan Li." Luo frowned and spoke righteously, "The emperor just said that casually. Do you really think you can be on an equal footing with the legitimate princess? Why don't you stand up and greet the legitimate princess?"

Yan Li picked up a piece of peach and stuffed it into his mouth. It was sweet and juicy, and delicious.

"Yan Li, what are you crazy about?" Muxue looked cold and contemptuous, "Why do you think your father prefers you? Isn't it because your unruly mother seduced your father and made him miss her all the time... …This princess really can’t help but wonder if you are my father’s daughter who is living abroad.”

Yan Li's eyes were narrow and the temperature in his eyes condensed little by little.

"Yan Li, if you are really the daughter of your father who is living abroad..." Mu Xue walked to Yan Li and knelt down next to her, and spoke maliciously in her ear, "Then your behavior of marrying Uncle Nine Emperors, does it count as illegal? chaos--"

Snap!

Yan Li raised his hand and slapped her on the face. The force was very strong and the sound was crisp.

Muxue covered her face in disbelief, her expression distorted: "Yan Li, how dare you hit me!"

"Yan Li, what are you doing?!" Luo Shi was startled, and quickly stepped forward to support Muxue, pointing at Yan Li and angrily yelling, "You are so audacious that you even dare to fight the princess? You... do you want to rebel?"

"I've already been beaten." Yan Li sat up straight and rubbed her wrists leisurely, "I can go to the palace with the Seventh Princess later to plead guilty. The Seventh Princess can tell the emperor truthfully, just say that I beat you and why. I also remember to tell the truth, it just so happens that I also want to find out whether I am the emperor’s biological daughter.”
