Chapter 272: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 15
After the old lady left.

The Queen Mother called over Nanny Li, who was waiting by the side, and asked, "Cheng'er has never been interested in women, so why did he suddenly favor Concubine Yu and even make her a concubine?"

This is the old nanny who has been serving her for nearly 30 years and is the person she trusts the most.

Nanny Li came out from the corner and reported respectfully with her head lowered, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu was originally a dancer sent as tribute from the Western Regions. She danced at a banquet a month ago, and the Emperor was so pleased that he gave her to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. It is said that Concubine Yu is not only an excellent dancer, but also has a stunning appearance. Perhaps it is these things that made His Royal Highness tempted by her."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned even deeper.

She twisted the jade bead in her hand back and forth, "The minds of people in the Western Regions are unpredictable. My son is the God of War of Jing State and the King of Qin. His every move is related to the foundation of the country. We must be on guard against this. Go and pass on the order to have Concubine Yu come to the palace to meet me tomorrow. I want to see this woman who can move my son's heart in person."

If any other woman had the ability to make her son open his mind and willing to get close to a woman, even if she was a vixen who was not presentable, she would be very happy.

Even reward each other.

But he is from the Western Regions...

When the Queen Mother thought of this, a hint of worry flashed across her eyes.

"Yes, ma'am."

Nanny Li responded respectfully and quickly retreated.

Qin Wangfu.

In Mingxi Courtyard, the morning light shines through the exquisitely carved wooden windows and shines on the bluestone path, creating a mottled effect that adds a touch of warmth to this gorgeous and exquisite courtyard.

Yu Yao curled up on the couch and read a storybook, gently turning the pages from time to time.

Suddenly, Xiangling pushed the door open and came in. She glanced at her master who was curled up on the couch, then hurried forward and said respectfully, "Concubine, there is someone from the palace. It's Nanny Li from the Empress Dowager's side. She said she has something to ask Concubine, so she's waiting outside."

Yu Yao raised her head and looked at Xiang Ling, "Do you know what it is?"

Xiangling shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know.

Seeing Xiangling like this, she didn't ask any more questions. She put the book in her hand aside, got up from the bed, tidied up, and when she felt there was no problem, she went to the outer room.

Yu Yao came to the outer room, looked up, and saw an old lady sitting there.

She was wearing a dark blue palace dress, with her hair tied up in a high bun, and had her usual arrogance on her face. She looked at her with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.

"I wonder what Madam wants to see me about?"

Yu Yao frowned slightly and said in a calm voice.

She probably guessed what was going on, which was that the Queen Mother was simply happy to know that Xuanyuan Cheng was finally willing to touch a woman.

But he was worried about her identity as a dancer from the Western Regions, so he wanted to summon her to the palace to meet him and give him a warning.

But she didn't care, as she had been a queen mother before.

"Concubine Yu, the Queen Mother has ordered you to come to the palace and see her immediately."

Nanny Li stood up and walked over, her attitude extremely arrogant and her voice unquestionable.

Seeing such an arrogant attitude, Xiangling beside her became unhappy. After all, her master was the prince's woman.

Even though Nanny Li was someone close to the Empress Dowager, she was still a servant after all.

It would be fine if he didn't just show courtesy, but he treats his master with such an attitude, he is really taking advantage of the power of his master.

Yu Yao didn't know what Xiangling was thinking, and she wasn't angry when she saw Li Ma's attitude.

She came from the palace and was an elder member of the empress dowager's family. It was normal for her to look down on her.

"Thank you for waiting for a moment, Madam Li. I will go to the palace with you after I change my clothes."

Without waiting for Nanny Li's reply, she took Xiangling's hand and went into the inner room.

"Concubine, this Nanny Li's attitude is also..."

As soon as Xiangling entered the room, she spoke angrily.

Yu Yao frowned and interrupted her, "Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. No matter what you want to say, just keep it to yourself."

Xiangling thought that Nanny Li was waiting outside, so she swallowed what she wanted to say and began to help her master change his clothes.

Yu Yao changed into an elegant palace dress, which neither lost her status nor appeared ostentatious.

But her face is so beautiful that it still can't hide her beauty.

She asked Xiangling to go to the front yard to inform Xuanyuan Cheng, and then she took Xiangju and followed Nanny Li into the palace in a carriage.

Xiangju is calm and thoughtful, so she is more suitable to follow her into the palace than Xiangling.

According to her observation, Xiangju should have a clean backside and seemed quite loyal.

Since he is loyal and clean, she doesn't mind giving him a chance.

Front yard study.

Xuanyuan Cheng was buried in a mountain of official documents, his brows revealing a bit of fatigue and determination.

"master."

Dong Feng knocked softly at the door, interrupting his thoughts. "Come in."

He responded in a deep voice, without looking up, the pen in his hand still quickly sketching on the document.

Dong Feng pushed the door open and walked in. He glanced at his master in front of the desk and said respectfully, "Ms. Xiangling from Mingxi Courtyard came to report that Concubine Yu was summoned to the palace by Madam Li, who was beside the Empress Dowager."

Xuanyuan Cheng paused slightly, and the ink in his hand dripped onto the official document, staining it.

He looked at the bamboo forest outside the window, his brows furrowed, and a complex expression flashed in his deep eyes.

"Understood, you step back."

His voice was low and filled with subtle worry.

Here, Yu Yao and Xiang Ju have arrived at the gate of Cining Palace.

Nanny Li asked the two to wait here and went in to report.

After a while, he came out.

"Concubine Yu, please go in. The Queen Mother is already waiting inside."

Nanny Li walked up to Yu Yao and said expressionlessly.

Yu Yao nodded slightly, told Xiangju to wait at the gate of Cining Palace, and then walked in.

As you step into the Cining Palace, a tranquil scent of sandalwood hits your nose.

She slowly walked into the main hall. The light in the hall was soft, and in the center was a carved rosewood chair. The queen mother sat on it, playing with a string of warm jade beads in her hands, staring at her scrutinizingly.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother. May Her Majesty live a thousand years."

Yu Yao stopped in front of the empress dowager and bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.

After experiencing the modern plane, she already felt a little disgusted with doing tasks in the ancient plane.

Especially those tasks related to the imperial palace, which are full of intrigue and require one to kneel down at every turn.

Only in the later stages of the mission, when your status becomes noble, will you no longer have to kneel before others.

"Lift your head and let me have a good look."

The Queen Mother did not call her to get up. She just stared at her, examining her closely, as if she wanted to find something unusual about her.

Yu Yao looked up as she was told, and her eyes met the empress dowager's. She showed no fear or retreat at all, as if the person in front of her was not the empress dowager, but an equal.

The Queen Mother nodded secretly in her heart, thinking that this woman from the Western Regions was quite courageous to look her in the eye so bluntly.

"Get up."

She raised her hand slightly, her expression softened a lot.

Yu Yao stood up as she was told, but didn't say anything and just stood there.

"I heard that you were a dancer sent as tribute from the Western Regions. You must have something extraordinary to win the favor of the King of Qin."

The Queen Mother looked at her face and spoke slowly.

Yu Yao's heart tightened, but she soon relaxed and said slowly:
"I am a humble woman, but fortunately, the prince has shown me favor. This is truly my blessing. Although I was born in the Western Regions, I have devoted my heart to the Kingdom of Jing since I entered the palace. I am willing to share the worries of the royal family of the Kingdom of Jing and relieve the worries of the prince."

The Queen Mother's eyebrows slightly lifted when she heard this, and she seemed quite satisfied with the answer, but then she asked again: "The customs and habits of the Western Regions are very different from those of the Central Plains. Since you are from the Western Regions, how can you adapt to the life in Jingguo?"

On the way here, Yu Yao had already prepared a script in her mind, and answered naturally, "Although I am a woman from the Western Regions, my mother is indeed from Yangzhou, Jingguo. I have been influenced by her since I was a child, and I have also heard my mother talk about many things in the Central Plains. I have dabbled in a lot of Central Plains culture."

When the Queen Mother heard that her mother was from Yangzhou, surprise flashed in her eyes.

Yu Yao paused for a moment, and then continued, "After entering the palace, I have been even more careful in my words and actions, and have worked hard to learn the etiquette of the Central Plains, so as to live up to the expectations of the prince and the queen mother. I believe that as long as you have good intentions in your heart, you can still be connected with your heart and hand across thousands of mountains and rivers."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with approval, and she nodded slightly, her tone becoming much gentler: "It is rare that you have such a heart. However, you must remember that you are not only the woman of the King of Qin, but also a member of the royal family of Jing State. Your every move is related to the face and peace of Jing State."

Yu Yao knelt down quickly and kowtowed solemnly: "I will follow the Queen Mother's teachings and put the Jing Kingdom's royal family first, and live up to the Queen Mother and the prince's high expectations."

The Queen Mother smiled faintly, "Since the King of Qin likes you, you should serve him well and try to give birth to a child for him as soon as possible."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Yu Yao blushed slightly, and seemed embarrassed, and spoke respectfully in a low voice.

"Okay, back off."

The Queen Mother rewarded her with some things and let her go back.

When Yu Yao walked out of the Cining Palace, Xiang Ju hurried forward and asked nervously, "Concubine, has the Empress Dowager given you any trouble?"

Yu Yao shook her head slightly, "It's okay, the Queen Mother just asked a few questions, nothing else."

Xiangju breathed a sigh of relief and didn't ask any more questions.

The master and servant quickly left the palace.

However, before Yu Yao could leave the palace, she met Emperor Xuanyuan Zan when passing through the imperial garden.
