The beautiful Princess Yun Qingyu possessed both an impressive charisma and the impending honor of being named the Eldest Princess.
Yet, who could have imagined that those surrounding her were filled with malice and false pretenses?
Even her own mother sought to use her as a stepping stone for her brother's claim to the Crown Prince position; there was no greater coldness in this world than that.
Only the shadow guard Xin Yao remained steadfastly loyal to her, like a warm ray of sunlight in the darkness.
Yun Qingyu expressionlessly pushed back the milk tea that Consort Duan had brought over, slowly raising her gaze to meet hers. Her tone was flat but carried a hint of detachment. "I cannot make this decision."
She truly had no desire to deal with Consort Duan any longer. This mother-daughter relationship, defined only by blood yet devoid of affection, filled her with immense annoyance.
After speaking, she cupped her hands in salute and prepared to take her leave. "I will return now. I will consider your words seriously and visit you again when I have time."
Consort Duan's face instantly turned ashen, a flicker of disgust flashing in her eyes. She genuinely found it hard to like this daughter.
However, for the sake of her son, she did not wish to fall out with Yun Qingyu, lest those with ulterior motives find amusement in their discord.
Once outside the palace, Yun Qingyu climbed into her carriage, her expression slightly weary.
She glanced at the shadow guard Xin Yao following alongside the carriage and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Even her biological mother despised the original owner of this body; it seemed that original owner had truly lived a failed life.
Surrounded by scheming individuals filled with pretense, the only one who remained loyal was the shadow guard whom the original owner had nearly driven to death through her own actions—wasn't that just a case of reaping what one sowed?
Yun Qingyu leaned against the carriage, lost in thought as her mind raced along the journey.
When the carriage finally came to a halt outside the gates of Princess Manor, Yun Qingyu stepped down and looked up to see two figures standing at the entrance. The one in front was none other than Consort Lu Mingzhan, whose face was as pale as paper.
Yun Qingyu paused for a moment, then casually raised her gaze, a hint of mockery curling at the corners of her lips.
Lu Mingzhan was about to speak. "Yun Qingyu, I want to know—"
Before he could finish, Yun Qingyu coldly interrupted, "Is it not customary to greet This Palace upon arrival? It seems you have yet to learn your lesson."
Lu Mingzhan's expression darkened further, alternating between shades of green and white. His eyes burned with anger as he looked at Yun Qingyu, his voice hoarse with rage. "You..."
Yun Qingyu's patience wore thin. She dismissively instructed the steward, "Consort has been rather unruly these past few days. This Palace orders him to kneel here for an hour. You keep an eye on him; don't let Consort faint."
Lu Mingzhan could hardly believe his ears. He glared at Yun Qingyu in fury and shouted, "Have you lost your mind? Let me tell you, no matter what tricks you play, I will not—"
Suddenly, a shadow darted forward like a gust of wind—it was Xin Yao.
Without a word, Xin Yao swiftly kicked Lu Mingzhan behind the knee. Caught off guard, Lu Mingzhan collapsed to the ground with a thud, his bluster silenced in an instant.
The sound of his knees hitting the ground was jarring. Pain twisted Lu Mingzhan's face as beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Yun Qingyu turned to look at Xin Yao. Their eyes met, and Xin Yao slightly bowed his head in response, his tone resolute. "To offend one's superior is a crime deserving of death."
Yun Qingyu looked at him, a warm feeling rising in her heart. It was nice to have someone so loyal protecting her.
She smiled slightly and was about to turn away when suddenly the high-pitched, effeminate voice of the Eunuch rang out, "The imperial decree has arrived!"
At the sound, Yun Qingyu turned around to see everyone inside and outside the Princess Manor kneeling in unison.
Two Eunuchs approached, one dragging a treasure book and the other carrying a golden seal. The announcing Eunuch shouted loudly, "His Majesty has decreed that Seventh Princess Yun Qingyu is to be titled Eldest Princess. Thus it is commanded!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the announcing Eunuch did not even dare to let Yun Qingyu kneel to receive the decree. Instead, he respectfully walked up to her and handed the imperial edict into her hands, his face full of flattery as he said, "Congratulations, Princess Consort. This servant pays his respects to Your Highness."
Yun Qingyu nodded slightly, signaling for Xin Yao to take the golden seal and treasure book from the two small Eunuchs.
In her heart, she pondered, what was Lu Mingzhan worth?
What use were fleeting pleasures?
What she wanted was to ride across the land, command armies, and become the ruler of a world where all would bow before her.
