After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Qin Yaoguang smiled slightly, and walked to the carriage with Guyu Qingbai in a leisurely manner, "I wonder what the Queen is doing here?"

A maid guarding the carriage lifted the curtain, and half of Queen Xie's face appeared in front of her, while the other half was hidden in the shadows.

She had a complicated expression, and her eyes passed Qin Yaoguang and fell on Yan Yuanan behind her.

It only stayed for a moment and then was immediately retracted.

Queen Xie was not surprised when Qin Yaoguang revealed her identity.

After all, the maid in blue who went to invite Qin Yaoguang was a female official she had specially selected and had served Qin Yaoguang in Fengyang Palace.

As long as Qin Yaoguang was not blind, she would be able to recognize it.

Empress Xie held the carriage curtain and pointed at the whiteness of the carriage: "Le Yang, come up and talk."

"What do you mean by hiding your head and showing your tail?"

Qin Yaoguang smiled jokingly: "Isn't it a waste for the Queen to secretly leave the palace at night and come to look for me?"

What I mean is, if you want to see me, there are plenty of opportunities in the palace, so why bother being so mysterious?

Queen Xie couldn't explain.

This time, she not only hid it from the emperor, but also from her father Xie Shu.

Ever since she learned the truth from Xie Shu, she has been restless day and night.

The son she raised at her knees turned out to be the blood of King Ruyang. The untold hardships she went through in the past resulted in her inability to give birth to a son, a huge consequence of which made her live among the people and suffer a lot.

Now, he is still living in the Princess's Mansion as Yan Changqing's concubine.

This thought tormented her, making her want to see Yan Yuanan at all costs.

It was easy to see Le Yang, but she was not the person she wanted to see.

As the Empress, she couldn't order Le Yang to bring one of his illegitimate sons with him when he entered the palace, right?

Even with all the kids, it was weird.

She is the queen, and her every move is under everyone's watch.

If such an order was really issued, whether or not it was issued during a palace banquet, it would be seen as a provocation to the eldest princess.

In the harem, it is true that she is the queen who rules the country, but above her, there is also an empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager's non-interference in affairs is a sign of respect for her.

But this does not mean that the Queen Mother will be unable to do anything to her if she provokes the eldest princess whom the Queen Mother loves as the apple of her eye.

Not to mention anything else, just the imperial decree to select another concubine was enough to make her feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, after receiving the news that Qin Yaoguang was taking several children to the banquet, Empress Xie struggled for a moment and then decisively arranged to leave the palace.

If you don't seize this opportunity, you don't know when the next one will come.

Driven by this mood, she turned a deaf ear to Xie Shu's warning.

Xie Shu's original intention was to let her know about the conspiracy so that she could be on guard, and also to tell her that the eldest princess didn't know about it and she should not alert the enemy.

But how could she bear it?

"Le Yang, I came to you to discuss something important. Please get in the car and let's talk." Queen Xie suppressed the emotions churning in her chest and spoke out the speech she had prepared long ago.

She didn't dare get out of the car and risk being seen by others.

Empress Xie was just in Fengyang Palace at this moment, preparing to go to bed.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yaoguang did not follow the script she wrote: "I am willing to come here to give you face, why should I listen to your instructions, what benefit does it bring to me?"

Empress Xie's mouth twitched when she heard this.

How could she forget that the eldest princess would not do anything without benefits?

The scene in the Plum Garden incident where she took the opportunity to demand a ransom is still vivid in my mind.

Fortunately she was prepared.

"Give the thing to her." Empress Xie instructed the female official in blue.

"Yes."

The female official in blue agreed and took out a cylindrical yellow silk bag about two palms long from her sleeve pocket and presented it to Qin Yaoguang.

Qin Yaoguang nodded slightly, and Guyu stepped forward to take it, opened the bag, and took out a small scroll of contract from it.

There are as many as seven or eight of them.

With the help of the dim moonlight, Qin Yaoguang saw the key information clearly: they were all land deeds, some for farms and some for shops. Two of them were in good locations, right in the East Market of the capital.

“So generous?”

Qin Yaoguang smiled, without even thinking about suppressing the smile on the corners of her lips.

In Queen Xie's eyes, her smile was full of commercialism.

What princess?

Isn't he just a money-grubbing businessman? He even organized a caravan to go to the northern border town to trade with the barbarians of the Northern Rong who eat raw meat and drink blood.

To her, these are just external things.

Apart from vulgar people like Le Yang, which legitimate daughter of a noble family would care about these things?

Empress Xie was scornful in her heart, but on the surface she was relieved and said sincerely, "You should finally believe me, right?"

Qin Yaoguang smiled sweetly: "When did I say I didn't believe it?"

"My Queen, I am extremely flattered that you are willing to leave the palace for me."

Although she said this, she did not look flattered at all. She turned around and told everyone, "Stay here, I'll be right back after I talk to the Queen."

The people given the order also included Yan Yuanan.

While she and Queen Xie were interacting, Yan Yuanan kept his eyes down, not even glancing around out of the corner of his eyes.

It was as if he had no interest in what was happening in front of him.

Only then did he, along with the others, say "yes".

Empress Xie couldn't help but say, "Let the child come up together."

Qin Yaoguang said "Oh?" slowly, "Your request is really weird. It's fine if you specifically asked me to bring him here, but you also need a child to discuss important matters?"

"You're not coming here on purpose to cause trouble for me, are you?"

As she spoke, she took a step back.

Seeing that she wanted to leave, Queen Xie's forehead veins throbbed.

The things have been delivered, but Qin Yaoguang still doesn't follow her wishes. This is simply outrageous!

At this moment, she was so impulsive that she wanted to blurt out Yan Yuanan's life story.

Fortunately, she suppressed this thought with her last bit of rationality: "What I'm talking about is related to him."

Qin Yaoguang looked at her suspiciously, with an expression that said "I don't believe it" written all over her face.

Empress Xie said patiently: "It won't do you any harm. Come in the car with him and listen to me."

"alright."

Seeing that the time was right and that all the benefits were gained, Qin Yaoguang stopped obstructing the mother and son from meeting each other.

In fact, it wasn't her intention. She just had to put on an act, right?

After taking Yan Yuanan into the carriage, Queen Xie lowered the curtain and stared at Yan Yuanan without any concealment.

The carriage was spacious and there were no other servants.

Qin Yaoguang didn't care about her, just like she was in her own carriage, she leaned lazily on the seat, and even pulled her waist over to hug her: "Why are you looking at my second child?"

When it comes to the ability to turn the tables, she is an expert at it.

Empress Xie pushed the cakes on the coffee table to Yan Yuanan and said, "Child, eat something first."

She tried hard to control herself, but her voice still couldn't be suppressed.

With the dim light emitted by the night pearls in the carriage, she looked at Yan Yuanan carefully.

These eyebrows, these lips, are all so familiar.

It was the image she had seen in the mirror since she was a child; it was herself.
