Qing Yan

On both sides of the Huashizi Road outside Kuntai Palace, there are densely packed peach trees.Jing Yan wore a long lavender dress, which wrapped her exquisite and slender figure. She was thinly dressed in black silk, and she had two purple jade earrings on her ears.

In March of Yangchun, the peach branches sprout.It won't take long, the peach blossom season will come, and this road will be paved into a sea of ​​peach blossoms.Recipe, Shining.Where will that person be when the flowers bloom like a sea?

"I look forward to the immortal Gu, and the peach blossoms laugh at the spring breeze every day... When spring comes and the fragrant wind in March comes, it is the flower slave who greets the king..." Jing Yan murmured in a low voice, a touch of loneliness biting her heart, and her hair was covered with silk. A tingling pain.

Why is this palace so big?It was empty as hell.

Jing Yan's plain fingertips lightly touched the buds on the peach branches, and no childish voice asked her expectantly: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! When will we be able to eat peaches?"

She couldn't hold back her smile any longer, stroked the little man's hair, and told her: "The peaches on this tree are green and astringent, and they are not edible. Do Wuyou want to eat peaches?"

The little man's smiling eyes were bent, and he grabbed her hand, happily: "Wuyou wants to eat big peaches! Sister-in-law and Wuyou are going to eat big peaches together!"

There was a gentle smile on Jing Yan's lips, "Okay, go eat a big peach!"

Bingbi was close, secretly surprised: Why did the Queen Mother suddenly say such a sentence?

After thinking about it, Bingbi was also depressed, she knew that the Queen Mother missed Her Majesty.

"Master, the wind is strong..." For the sake of the queen mother's phoenix body, Bingbi had no choice but to interrupt the queen mother's thoughts.

Jing Yan came back to his senses, suddenly felt lost, and said lonely: "Let's go."

Bing Bi and Shi Mo looked at each other, they could see clearly about the Empress Dowager and His Majesty.They had nothing to say about their master's affairs, but in their hearts, the two of them also felt sorry for Jing Yan, and still hoped that someone would accompany her.There are still decades of good life in my life, how can I go on alone alone?

The Empress Dowager's guard of honor stopped outside Shoukang Palace.

Yes, Jing Yan came to see the Empress Dowager today.Not only to see, but also a big thing to do.

The so-called "foot restraint" by the empress dowager has been useless since the emperor's personal conquest.Jing Yan ran out of Kuntai Palace in a daze that day, Shen Quan, Bing Bi, and Shi Mo chased them out, but later recalled that no one stopped them.To this day, no one from the Shoukang Palace has appeared in the Kuntai Palace again, and it is even rare to see half of them. It seems that the Empress Dowager confined herself in the Shoukang Palace.

Jing Yan knew that this had something to do with Yu Wenrui, especially after hearing from Shi Ran that the emperor met the empress dowager before leaving, and the empress dowager smashed his forehead with a teacup. The queen mother said something that aroused her old man's anger.

What can make the queen mother anxious?Zuo Wuyou just confessed his affection for him, and there are auspicious things.

Jing Yan asked Shi Ran carefully, and was slightly relieved when he learned that Yu Wenrui was only injured on the skin.

Why!Old wounds are not healed, and new wounds are added.When will this little friend stop hurting himself and being hurt?

She went out with the wound on her back, and the journey was bumpy. The army didn't eat well, and no one around her took good care of her. The wound wouldn't get worse, right?

Look, this man just has the ability to always make her worry, either for this or for that.

While thinking wildly, the servants of Shoukang Palace had already returned.Also came with jade bi.

"The Empress Dowager has been waiting for a long time." Yubi bowed first.

"Thank you, auntie." Compared to Yujue, Jing Yan still has a bit of affection for Yubi.She stood where she was and bowed her body.

Yubi laughed and said, "I'm afraid the empress dowager's trip was in vain. The empress dowager said that she is not well and doesn't want to see people. Please come back to the empress dowager."

The empress dowager's rejection was within Jing Yan's expectation.If she flinched like this, it wouldn't be her.

"Auntie, please tell the queen mother that Jing Yan has something important to discuss with the queen mother."

Yubi wondered: "The queen mother knows the temperament of the queen mother...you should be a slave."

Jing Yan smiled lightly and said: "Auntie just needs to say four words to the queen mother, and the queen mother will definitely meet Ai's family. Maybe she will reward auntie!"

Seeing the confusion on Yu Bi's face, Jing Yan moved closer, his cherry lips parted slightly, and said four words: "It's about wishful thinking."

Yubi reported it half-believingly, and the smile on Jing Yan's face suddenly disappeared.

She raised her head and stared at the three words "Shoukang Palace" on the plaque. The characters were soft and deep, like a mother's gaze, gazing at the huge forbidden palace.Here, since the former dynasty, it has been the place where the emperors of all dynasties have served their mothers and demonstrated their filial piety.Now, it is her mother-in-law and her aunt who live in it.But she is going to do something that goes against filial piety.

Sure enough, this time, Yubi almost trotted back, and when she saw Jing Yan, she couldn't wait to say: "Quickly please, Queen Mother!"

Jing Yan nodded and smiled lightly.She knew that as long as the queen mother heard those four words, she would be even more impatient than Aunt Yubi at this moment.

"Meet the empress! The empress Wan'an!" Jing Yan bowed down meticulously and saluted.

The Empress Dowager sat on top, not saying a word, let alone asking her to get up to excuse herself.

Jing Yan seemed to be unaware, as if he had entered the land of no one, he saluted on his own, still knelt down on his knees, raised his eyes to face the ashen face of the Empress Dowager, "The empress mother is ill, and the child is late ,guilty."

The Empress Dowager sat cross-legged on the Luohan couch, her pair of phoenix eyes fixed on Jing Yan desperately, wishing to make two holes in her body.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Good method!"

Jing Yan was unnatural for a moment, pursed his lips, and immediately returned to calm.

The attendants on both sides have already smelled that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of the building.Yu Jue obediently blessed the two people who were sitting and kneeling, led them back, and closed the door outside.

Jing Yan looked at the Empress Dowager calmly, and said indifferently: "The queen mother is too famous. The child does not have any outstanding skills, but he is only thinking about how to protect the foundation of the ancestors, and dare not slack off."

"What a 'one-minded'!" The Empress Dowager said bitterly, "You've worked hard!"

"I don't dare to say it's hard work, for the great Zhou's country, even if I die from exhaustion, my boy will be happy."

"For the Great Zhou Jiangshan? It's for your selfishness!" The Empress Dowager couldn't help but sneered coldly.

"No," Jing Yan shook his head lightly, "The child is for the mother..."

As she spoke, she raised her head slowly, her eyes fixed on the empress dowager's haggard sick face, and said word by word: "In order to fulfill the empress mother's affection for the old man."

The Empress Dowager shook her bloodless lips, "Is...is she still alive? You...what are you going to do to her?!"

Jing Yan felt a pain in his heart, fell silent for a moment, and kowtowed: "It's not what the child wants to do, but what the queen mother is going to do."

The Empress Dowager froze, and smiled angrily, "Okay! Okay! Mrs. Jing, Aijia really can't imagine that your thoughts are so vicious! What do you want to do by threatening Aijia with her life?"

When Jing Yan heard this, his nasal cavity was sore.She shrugged her nostrils lightly, suppressing the surging sense of grievance, and lowered her head slightly to prevent the empress dowager from seeing her sour eyes, "How dare the child threaten the empress?"

"Huh? Don't you dare? Then what are you doing at this moment? Zhe'er from the Ai family was destroyed in your hands, and A Rui from the Ai family was also trapped in your trap... More than ten years, your thoughts Is it impossible to hide after all? Tell me! Do you think Ai's family is an eyesore? Do you want Da Zhou to be named Jing?"

Tears welled up in Jing Yan's eyes.Yes, more than ten years.For more than ten years, the queen mother doesn't believe her sincerity!

"It's been ten or three years since my child married into the Tian family. Whether the mother believes it or not, from the day she became the daughter-in-law of the Yuwen family, all the thoughts and thoughts of the child are that Yuwen's family is the first, and Da Zhou is the first. The country is the first. The world can learn from it!" Big teardrops hit the ground fiercely, but no one could tell that she was crying at the moment.

The empress dowager's back was as sinking as water, silently staring at the hair of Jing Yan who was kneeling on the ground.

Jing Yan suppressed the chaotic emotions, changed the topic, and got straight to the point: "Children don't envy wealth, nor do they envy the country, but only hope that there is someone with one heart, and they will stay together until the end of life. Even if you do nothing all your life, just guarding that person is sweet...It's a pity , the child is not blessed, and the sky does not allow it. The child sighed and felt helpless, thinking about the greatest wish of all women in the world, and the queen mother... is no exception."

When the Empress Dowager first heard her say "baby is not blessed", she felt a pain in her chest. After hearing her words, she smiled coldly: "What do you want to exchange for her and Aijia?"

Jing Yan was taken aback, she never expected the Empress Dowager to agree so happily.It seems that Shi Ruyi's weight in the queen mother's heart is much heavier than what I thought.This realization made Jing Yan feel even more uncomfortable.She asked herself that she never disdained coercion, but how is what she is doing now different from coercion?

"My mother's love is so deep that my child respects me." Jing Yan kowtowed again.The vicissitudes of life have changed, times have changed, and the only person he cares about in his heart is still the only one, Jing Yan is sincerely convinced from the bottom of his heart.

The Empress Dowager did not buy her account: "You don't need to talk to Ai's family about these empty words, just say what you want!"

"I want to change my identity." Jing Yan met the eyes of the Empress Dowager.

In the bright sunlight, there were still traces of tears on her cheeks.The Empress Dowager had a thought, she hadn't realized that Jing Yan was crying so hard before, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable.This thought just passed by, and the Empress Dowager asked suspiciously: "Who? What identity?"

"Boy, please ask the Empress Dowager to admit that Yu Wentang is the daughter of the first emperor and Princess Chang of Monan."

"Yu Wentang?" The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, bursting out with hatred.

"Yes. The child's nickname is Jixiang."

"The granddaughter of that lowly servant girl also deserves the surname Yuwen!" The Empress Dowager was furious.

"That child is the granddaughter of Emperor Renzong after all."

"Oh! Are you talking about Emperor Renzong with Aijia?" The Empress Dowager sneered coldly, "Back then, Aijia and that lowly maidservant were called masters and servants, but Aijia treated her more than sisters, and she had the face to turn her back on Aijia Doing such deeds! If she hadn't seduced Emperor Renzong, how could she have given birth to that pair of evils!"

This is the first time Jing Yan heard about what happened back then.In fact, it was just that Empress Duan favored the harem back then, and her close maids wanted to gain wealth, and Emperor Renzong was also tired of the empress who was a flower of interpretation for a long time, and the two hit it off, and it became that kind of thing.

"Excuse me, Queen Mother, do you care about Emperor Renzong?" Jing Yan said bluntly.

"Mr. Jing, is this what you should ask!"

Jing Yan was not afraid: "What the queen mother is worried about is probably not losing the favor of Emperor Renzong, right? What the queen mother is afraid of is that Yusu may give birth to Lin'er, shaking Zhe's position as the crown prince, right? So the queen mother sent someone..."

"Shut up!" The Empress Dowager scolded.He was extremely afraid that she would reveal the old things, and no one wanted to face himself who once harmed his mother and abandoned his child.

Jing Yan followed kindly and said: "If the queen mother tells you to shut up, the child will shut up. But, today is not what it used to be, and the Qilin twins can no longer threaten that dragon chair. But after all, the blood of Emperor Renzong is flowing on Jixiang's body, and the world does not know that the Qilin twins The existence of a child, the queen mother is also reluctant to bring up the old things. Therefore, I ask the mother to admit that Jixiang is the flesh and blood of the late emperor! Only in this way can Jixiang be entered into the genealogy legitimately and inherit the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future."

"Hmph! You both speak the same way!"

Jing Yan knew that the "you" that the Empress Dowager referred to were her and Yu Wenrui, so he simply admitted: "It is also the emperor's intention to establish Jixiang as the heir."

The Empress Dowager said coldly: "She wants to have an heir, why not give birth by herself?"

She has always doted on Yu Wenrui, and her tone of voice made her extremely angry.

Jing Yan lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Even if the emperor wants to do that, the child will not allow it."

The Empress Dowager was slightly taken aback.How clear is her mind?After thinking about it, I understood, my face turned red and white, and pointed at Jing Yan angrily with shaking hands, "You, you...you have already..."

Jing Yan was shy, kowtowed and said: "Yes."

"You... are you worthy of Zhe'er?"

Jing Yan dejectedly: "I know I'm sorry for her, but... but I must... protect the emperor! She... her spirit in the sky... will understand..."

"Absurd! You are absurd!" The Empress Dowager threw all the tea sets, pens and inkstones on the ground in a rage.

The chaotic sound of "dang bang bang bang" sounded particularly harsh to Jing Yan, but she held on and stood still.

"In your eyes, do you still have Aijia? What do you... think Aijia is!"

"The queen mother is the master of the harem." Jing Yan said respectfully.

"The lord of the harem? Empress Dowager Jing, are you slapping Aijia in the face?" The empress dowager's chest was heaving with anger, "You guys are so capable, why are you here to find Aijia? You can do whatever you want How, whoever wants to be the emperor's dowager is the empress dowager!"

Jing Yan was bitter in his heart, but he still said respectfully: "The queen mother is the master of the harem."

"You go! The Ai family doesn't want to see you again!" The Empress Dowager pointed at the door angrily.

Jing Yan's back was straight, "My mother's wish, my child will definitely fulfill it."
