She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 451 - 450: They Only Recognize Grandpa, Not Her Qin Erya

Chapter 451: Chapter 450: They Only Recognize Grandpa, Not Her Qin Erya

Xiao Pingfeng didn’t miss the astonishment and delight in the eyes of the King of Chu Kingdom.

Although his face didn’t change, the smile at the corner of his mouth had a somewhat frosty tone.

"Long time no see; after so many years, you’ve become the King of Chu Kingdom, truly a sight to behold," Yan Wanqing said with a light smile, addressing Chu Qi.

Joy filled Chu Qi’s eyes, "I truly didn’t expect to meet an old friend again, this journey is worthwhile."

"Who would have thought that the King and I have an acquaintance in Wanwan, indeed, the connection between Chu Kingdom and Dawei is not shallow," the Crown Prince forced himself into the conversation, and without waiting for Chu Qi to respond, he directly said, "The journey from Chu Kingdom to Dawei is long and must’ve been exhausting for the King and the Princess. It would be better to rest first; at the welcome banquet later, we can speak freely and connect emotionally."

With these words, Chu Qi, who was not a fool, detected the displeasure in the tone of Dawei’s Crown Prince.

However, he didn’t lose his enthusiasm and smiled at Yan Wanqing, "Then, see you tonight."

Yan Wanqing nodded graciously in agreement.

As soon as they arrived at the resting place,

Chu Yu, after changing out of her complicated long dress, ran immediately to her brother’s room.

"Your Majesty!" she said, somewhat anxiously pushing open the door.

Chu Qi was sitting at the table playing chess, the board densely packed, the pieces in disarray, a fierce battle waged between the black and white stones with a perilous situation.

Being interrupted suddenly, he looked up at his sister with some annoyance.

"You’ve disturbed me."

Chu Yu came in, closed the door, and took a seat opposite him, "Your Majesty, you still have the mood for chess? Wuyang has already recognized her; that Crown Princess Consort is clearly the woman from the painting on the wall of Your Majesty’s secret chamber!"

Although her appearance had some differences, her facial features were quite similar; now the Crown Princess Consort was even more stunningly beautiful.

She still remembered that her brother once told her that the woman in the portrait was to become her sister-in-law in the future.

Yet now, she was the Crown Princess Consort of Dawei, even personally acknowledged by the Crown Prince as the future Empress.

What is to be done?

She couldn’t obtain the Crown Prince, and her brother lost his sister-in-law.

Wouldn’t this make both of them a joke?

Therefore, Chu Yu rushed over anxiously to discuss countermeasures.

Chu Qi knew that today’s chess game was ruined and could only toss the black and white stones in his hand onto the board, his gaze slightly deepening, "Your eyesight has always been sharp since you were young; it’s no surprise you recognized her. It is indeed her."

She was the woman who haunted his dreams.

"Aren’t you worried, Your Majesty?" Chu Yu was really fed up with Chu Qi’s leisurely demeanor, "And furthermore..."

Chu Yu hesitated.

Chu Qi looked at her with raised eyebrows.

Finally, Chu Yu couldn’t hold back, lowering her voice, "A maid went to inquire, and it’s said that the Crown Princess Consort is now pregnant, Your Majesty!"

"So what?" Chu Qi didn’t seem to care in the least.

Chu Yu was on the verge of losing her patience, "Are you giving up, Your Majesty?"

"Giving up what?"

"The Crown Princess Consort! She’s already carrying a child!" For some reason, whenever Chu Yu talked to her brother, she always felt like she was the one panicking, making a fool of herself from the beginning to the end.

By comparison, her brother remained calm and relaxed.

"Don’t forget our ultimate goal here, Wuyang," said Chu Qi indifferently, his blue eyes containing a hint of coldness.

It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over Chu Yu from head to toe.

She involuntarily swallowed hard, nervously intertwining her hands, "Your Majesty, Wuyang has not forgotten."

The ultimate goal was to make Dawei lose face completely.

To thoroughly crush the people of Dawei into the dirt from the inside out.

Only then could the might of Chu Kingdom be showcased! freёwebnoѵel.com

"The country first, then home; as long as Dawei falls, whether she’s the Crown Princess Consort or the Empress, in the end, she’s just a woman who needs someone to rely on. By that time, she and her child, I want them both!"

...

Qin Residence

"Today the Crown Prince himself admitted in front of the King of Chu and Princess Wuyang that he intends to make that Yan Wanqing the Empress... Father, what should our Erya do?" Lord Qin seemed somewhat at a loss, standing in Grand Tutor Qin’s study.

The Grand Tutor had just washed his hands, and was drying the water stains on them.

His gaze passed directly over his son and landed on the obedient figure standing with her head lowered behind him, clad in white.

"Erya, tell us what you think."

Seeing that her grandfather had directly addressed her, Qin Erya pursed her lips and, after a moment of silence, finally spoke, "Since Grandfather has already said that the position of the Empress is granddaughter’s, then it can only be granddaughter’s."

"Good! Hahaha!" Once she finished speaking, the Grand Tutor burst into hearty laughter, looking at his son with pleasure, "Look at Erya’s ambition, then look at yourself. You panic over such a trivial matter, you’re truly a good-for-nothing."

Grand Tutor Qin didn’t hesitate to directly scold his own son.

Lord Qin didn’t dare say a word, knowing that he was wrong, that he shouldn’t have come to question his father.

From childhood to adulthood, the things his father had declared had rarely failed to come true.

"... I was too hasty with this matter, Father, I beg you not to be angry," he said.

"Angry with you for what? All of your brains put together can’t compare with Erya’s. If I got angry with you all, I would have been in the grave a long time ago. Get out, get out, get out, Erya, you stay," said the Grand Tutor.

The words of the Grand Tutor held even more weight than imperial edicts in the Qin Family.

Lord Qin hurriedly left, closing the door considerately behind him, "Erya, have a good talk with Father."

This study was a place they, the brothers, never liked to visit from their very youth.

Every time they came, they would get scolded.

So much so that now, even at his age, he felt fear in his heart at the sight of the study, his spine chilling as if needles were pricking him.

It was truly a frightening place.

Now, only Erya and Grand Tutor Qin remained in the study.

The Grand Tutor sat in the chair, raising his head to look at his granddaughter.

"Tonight is the welcome feast for the King of Chu and the Princess. Would you like to go and see?" he asked.

Qin Erya thought for a moment and shook her head, "Granddaughter does not wish to go."

"Oh?" Grand Tutor Qin chuckled lightly, "Why not? Tell me your thoughts."

"The first confrontation will surely be a clash of titans, and granddaughter’s only task is to become the Empress. Such a conspicuous role is not suitable for granddaughter," Erya said slowly.

"Grandfather has taught me since I was little that in any matter, we must aim for the desired outcome. We shouldn’t do anything that contradicts the intended result," Erya continued.

And there was an even more important point.

Grandfather showed no intention whatsoever of having her enter the palace.

As the Grand Tutor’s granddaughter, without an official post or title, why would she enter such an important event as the welcome feast?

Even if she wanted to, she had no means.

The people in the palace only recognized Grandfather, not her, Qin Erya.

In this respect, Erya was very clear.

So, no matter how big or small, in the Qin Family, only the matters that Grand Tutor Qin nodded in agreement on would come to fruition.

She didn’t even bother to daydream.

Today, several eunuchs had already come to the palace to invite Grandfather, but he showed no inclination to go to the palace whatsoever.

So, the problem was obvious.

Grandfather would not attend the welcome feast.

And thus, she was even less likely to go.

"Should I say you’re smart, or mischievously ingenious? This ability to find loopholes could also be counted as a skill. Indeed, tonight the old man only wishes to sleep comfortably early. As for the scheming within the palace, for now, it has nothing to do with the old man," the Grand Tutor said.
