Qing Yan

The emperor and the queen mother arrived, and Yin He led the generals to welcome them out of the city.

Most of the soldiers and horses of the King's Army of the Great Zhou were stationed outside Xinyuan City, in a posture of guarding; Yin He and all his subordinates and generals temporarily stayed in the Xinyuan Prefect's Mansion to handle all military affairs.

Seeing Luanjia from a distance, everyone bowed down together and shouted: "Welcome to the Queen Mother! Welcome to Your Majesty!".

Yu Wenrui's eyesight was excellent, so he hurriedly ordered Wei Shun to run over first, so that all the ministers could be saved without courtesy.

The car was approaching, and the curtains were rolled up, and Yu Wenrui jumped down first.She then turned around and raised her hand in front of Jing Yan in the car.

Jing Yan's movements obviously paused, and she immediately realized that she was going to help him get out of the car.This is the first time that such a thing happened between them. In the past, in the imperial palace, the emperor and the queen mother had their own ceremonies. The Zhou Dynasty was not so poor that the queen mother and the emperor squeezed into the same car, although There is a heart-warming intimacy in being squeezed together like this.

Jing Yan's wonderful eyes drooped slightly, not knowing what kind of thoughts and expressions he was restraining.After all, Jing Yan didn't shake Yu Wenrui's heart, put her white palm on Yu Wenrui's, and let her help him get out of the car.

This scene falls in the eyes of everyone, but it has another meaning——

The emperor was young, impulsive, and stubborn. He had provoked such a bloody disaster before, that the officials almost thought that the sky of the Great Zhou Dynasty was about to collapse again like when the previous emperor passed away ten years ago. .Fortunately, with God's blessing, the emperor was safe and sound in the end.The emperor was brought up by the empress dowager since he was a child. They are called aunts, they are like mother and daughter. With the empress dowager in front of her eyes, the emperor will not cause any serious troubles.Looking at the current situation, the emperor and the empress dowager got along well and had a deep affection. The emperor also cared a lot about the empress dowager, which is very good.

If Yu Wenrui knew how the ministers viewed the relationship between her and Jing Yan, he didn't know how he would feel.

When the monarch and his ministers met, Yin He pleaded guilty again and again.Yu Wenrui took his hand and sighed: "Mr. tried my best to dissuade me that day. I was eager to save people. I ignored Mr.'s earnestness, which almost caused a catastrophe. Thinking about it, I still have palpitations. For more than a month, Mr. Zhou , Concentrate on my behalf, defend the previous results of the battle, and prevent Beizheng's counterattack from succeeding, sir is not only innocent, but also a meritorious minister!"

Hearing the emperor's approval, Yin He was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but raised his head to meet the girl's sincere eyes.Although Longyan is not allowed to look at it at will, but the girl emperor who has gone through a catastrophe can now admit her own fault, it can't help but make people feel surprised, and people can't help but scrutinize how she has changed.

Yin He is in charge of the King's Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he cannot visit Yu Wenrui's injury personally.He also heard that the emperor was seriously injured, and now seeing a scar that was not deep or shallow on the emperor's cheek, he felt sour and guilty——

If the master has made a mistake, how can he be free from the responsibility as a minister?

"On that day, Your Majesty was in deep danger. As a military adviser, the dispatch of troops lagged behind the situation on the battlefield, which caused His Majesty to be caught in a dangerous situation. I... I am fortunate to be blessed by the emperor, and Your Majesty is safe. Otherwise, I really am in danger." There is no redemption!" Yin He said, his voice trembling, and he wanted to bow down again.

Yu Wenrui sighed, and supported him again, "This matter is not the fault of Mr. alone, don't worry about it anymore, you and I, the king and the minister, look ahead!"

Yin He keenly caught the painful look in the emperor's eyes, and he thought: What made His Majesty so painful to mention this matter?Is it the lingering fear after experiencing a fatal injury?Or is it related to the British government behind Jing Jiayue?Or, is it about Feng Yi, the brother-in-law of Wang Zhan who betrayed Da Zhou?

These three, especially the latter two, involve the possible intertwined situation in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which Yin He, who is not familiar with the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty and has been at the border for a long time, can grasp.

He was struggling in his heart, but he heard Yu Wenrui say: "I will not mention this matter, sir, just tell me how the current battle situation is."

"Yes." Yin He bowed, and after meeting Xiang Jingyan, he talked with Yu Wenrui about the situation in front of the army recently, the strength and formation of Beizheng's counterattack, and Wu Bin captured two more cities as the vanguard officer. record.

Yu Wenrui was overjoyed, and the conversation was even better, so he invited Jing Yan to board the chariot, and he walked into the city slowly while talking with Yin He.The generals and officers follow behind.

Along the way, I saw banners and flags flying, soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty with bright helmets and armor, and all the sons and daughters were heroic and full of energy.

Yu Wenrui said more happily: "Sir, you are good at running the army. My great Zhou army is more powerful than before. I am so relieved!"

Yin He was cautious by nature, and after hearing the emperor's praise, he recalled the great pressure, all kinds of difficulties and doubts he had experienced in the past month, and even sneered and ridiculed. , it really is the taste of it, only I know it best.After all, those difficult days have been carried through, and until now, His Majesty has returned home safely, and everything he has endured is worthwhile, and he could not help but show a gratified and satisfied expression on his usual calm face.

Yu Wenrui turned his head to look at him, pursed his lips and said, "I have heard about what Mister has experienced these days, and I feel more empathetic... I have suffered so much, Mister!"

Yin He's footsteps faltered, why did he feel that the emperor was different from the past?To be affirmed and appeased by the lord, no matter how hard he worked, it was worth it.

"Your majesty valued me, entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and held an important position. I am afraid that I will betray your majesty's trust. How dare you not go all out and do your best?" Yin He said from the bottom of his heart.There are many wise and wise kings in the past dynasties, but when it comes to the two words of "employing people without doubt" and "treating each other with sincerity", I am afraid that few emperors can be as good as your majesty.Since he was treated wholeheartedly by the emperor, how could he not present all his abilities and resourcefulness to do his best for the unification of the emperor's country?

Hearing this, Yu Wenrui nodded and said: "So, you and my monarch and ministers will get along with each other, and we will work together to build our foundation for thousands of years, and it will be a good story!"

Yin He said solemnly: "I will definitely live up to your deep kindness!"

The monarch and his ministers chatted a few more words, and the gate of Xinyuan City was right in front of them.

"Your Majesty," Yin He said suddenly, "His Royal Highness Queen Monan has arrived."

Yu Wenrui's eyes lit up: "When did it happen? I didn't get any news."

"I arrived this morning," Yin He replied, "Because His Majesty is still on the way back to Luan, I didn't inform His Majesty."

Yu Wenrui smiled, and didn't take it seriously, just asked: "Where is she now? Did she come by herself, or did she lead her troops?"

"His Royal Highness, she..."

Before Yin He finished speaking, a man and a horse appeared in the city gate——

The queen of Monan, Jin Huang'er, wore a purple dress, and the phoenix pattern embroidered with golden thread was dazzling on her chest, as if she was always ready to spread her wings and soar into the sky.Her headdress is also a shining and extravagant golden phoenix. The two eyes of the phoenix are made of two crystal clear red gemstones.Under the headdress, she had golden Ruyi horns hanging from her braids, which Yu Wenrui had seen before.

Different from the Guijie girl in the Central Plains Dynasty, she is the king of the grassland and the overlord who leads one side. Her eyes are used to being calm and steady.However, at this moment, when she saw Yu Wenrui, those eyes were no longer what they used to be, but were instantly coated with a strange color: joy, excitement, urgency, and trance...

Yu Wenrui hasn't seen Jin Huang'er for a long time. Not long ago, she experienced the biggest change in her life and endured the test of life and death. She has a new understanding of the affection between old friends.Seeing Jin Huang'er, Yu Wenrui couldn't help but recall those days in Monan, and the kind treatment and help those Jin Huang'er had given him.She knew that she owed Monan and Jin Huang'er a great favor, and she was even more attached to the friendship between them.

At least in Yu Wenrui's view, the relationship between her, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Jin Huang'er, the queen of Monan, is pure friendship.If Monan is in a hurry and Jin Huanger is in a hurry, Yu Wenrui is willing to do his best to help her out of any predicament.

So, Yu Wenrui raised his face, facing the sun, facing the direction of Jin Huang'er, and smiled warmly and joyfully.

"Huang'er! Are you safe?" she said.

This "Huang'er" is a title that I have been looking forward to for a long time and begged for several times, but I have not been able to get it, but at this moment, I was called out by this person!

All the indifference and calmness of Queen Monan collapsed in an instant because of this sound.She couldn't care less, jumped off the horse, and ran to Yu Wenrui at the fastest speed.

"A Rui!" Jin Huang'er called out, just two words, which made her eyes moist.

"A Rui!" She called out again, holding Yu Wenrui's hand with both hands, and looked at Yu Wenrui's face eagerly, as if all of this would turn into a dream even for a moment at night.

"Hmm!" Yu Wenrui looked at her with a smile.

"Why do you..." Jin Huang'er had already touched her left cheek with her hand, choked with sobs, and could no longer speak.

A strange breath came, and a strange touch touched her cheek, carefully brushing along the inner corner of her eye, and then lingering along the trace, which made Yu Wenrui feel uncomfortable, she subconsciously retreated a little, He smiled and said: "It's already done, don't worry about it, it's okay."

Jin Huang'er's fingers were in vain, and her full expectations were also in vain for a moment. She withdrew her hands awkwardly, put them down, clenched her fists tightly on her legs, and said sadly: "I should have come to look for you long ago, otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered like that." You know, when I heard about you, I almost died of anxiety!"

Her tone was earnest, and no one would suspect that what she was expressing at this moment was not her true feelings.However, in such a situation, such an expression is really...

Not only Yu Wenrui felt awkward, but even Yin He, who bowed and took two steps back out of etiquette, felt that the scene was weird no matter how you looked at it.When he was young, he had traveled and studied in all directions, and he had a wide range of knowledge. Now, looking at the demeanor of Queen Monan's hesitant children, he couldn't help but see the scene of a woman chasing a woman he had seen in Wuman Kingdom in the southwest more than ten years ago. Come on, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead first.

Just at this moment, the carriage that had been running slowly behind suddenly made a "gululu" sound, and stopped a foot away from the focal point of Jin Huang'er and Yu Wenrui, and stopped.

Civil and military officials all knew who was in the car, and when they saw the car stopped, they didn't dare to exceed the rules, they all stopped and stood respectfully.

A cool voice called out Yu Wenrui's soul: "Emperor, why are you standing still?"

Inkstone!

You don't need to think about the closeness of the two people these days, just think that the person in the car is your beloved, Yu Wenrui's heart seems to be thrown into honey, sweet and crisp, flowing from the inside out with sweetness.

"I met an old friend!" Yu Wenrui smiled brightly towards the green cloth curtain on the carriage, which attracted Jin Huang'er's sideways gaze——

The old friend is the old friend!It sounds good too.But Ah Rui, why are you smiling so hard at the curtain?

Jin Huang'er turned her head and stared angrily at the ordinary cloth curtain. The more she looked at it, the more she felt disgusted, and she really wanted to poke a few holes in it: Ah Rui has never smiled at me so nicely!

She stared closely, the green cloth curtain seemed to feel something, it actually moved!

The fat-like catkin lifted a corner of the green cloth curtain, Yu Wenrui took a step faster than Shen Quan who was accompanying the car, grabbed Jing Yan's hand, and helped her get out of the car.

Jin Huang'er looked at the stunning woman in the plain white dress in front of her, and gradually connected with the sickly woman lying on the couch with her eyes closed in her memory. When the water was squeezed out, the eyebrows were immediately twisted into a pimple.

"Who is the old man?" Jing Yan asked lightly, as if casually.

Jin Huang'er frowned again, and the unhappiness in her heart became even worse——

She is obviously a weak woman who doesn't know the slightest bit of martial arts, why does she stand beside Ah Rui in such a majestic manner?

"It's Her Majesty the Queen of Monan." Yu Wenrui replied in a good-tempered manner, for a while, he didn't realize that the aura between the two women with completely different styles, white and purple, had quietly changed, and she herself, Right at the center of the storm.

"Don't you remember the Queen Mother? Thanks to His Highness's help in the past, the Queen Mother suffered from heart disease..." Yu Wenrui explained with a slightly lowered voice.

However, before she could finish speaking, Jing Yan raised his jaw slightly, and said in a high voice: "Monan is our vassal state of Great Zhou, since it is a vassal state, why doesn't King Monan pay homage to the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty as a vassal?"
