This queen is not too curly

Chapter 132
It was still early, so Yan Yuan went to visit the imperial hospital, and went to Qiu Yu's residence lightly.

At that time, Qiu Yu was practicing martial arts in the courtyard. His movements seemed much cleaner than before, but for some reason, his breath was very unstable. At the end of the practice, when the small arrows in the crossbow were fired three times, his face was covered with bruises. Cyan gray.

Yan Yuan looked in the direction where the small arrow was shot, and saw a human-shaped archery target tied up in front of her, and the target was clean.

Three Arrows...

Well, all off target.

Yan Yuan finally knew why his face turned blue.

Qiu Yu suddenly said coldly: "Who?"

Yan Yuan walked out from the half-hidden door and smiled at Qiu Yu.

Qiu Yu suddenly became flustered, and his upright face flushed red: "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly... this subordinate has seen Your Majesty!"

He was stunned for a long time before hastily saluting.

Yan Yuan's eyes still stayed on the target, and a little confusion flashed in her heart.

Qiu Yu is diligent and hardworking on weekdays, and she doesn't seem to be a person who is negligent in practice.And obviously when he used the crossbow for the first time, his shooting was almost inseparable, why did he miss the target like this?
"Mother, empress?"

Qiu Yu's expression could be called distressed.

Yan Yuan looked away from the archery target as if nothing had happened, as if she didn't see anything.

People who practice martial arts have the best face in this way. For Qiu Yu, missing a target may make him feel more ashamed than taking off his clothes.

Yan Yuan silently changed the subject: "Is your health better these days?"

Qiu Yudao: "Go back to Madam, my subordinate's body is fine, but Madam needs my subordinate to go to that small building to borrow again..."

Yan Yuan shook her head: "No need."

Qiu Yu hesitated and said, "Then this time..."

Yan Yuan asked him, "Do you know the state of Jin?"

Yan Yuan didn't know that princess well, but she knew Ji Fei.

As the chief general of Jianboying, Ji Fei has led Jianboying many times to infiltrate the Jin Kingdom on the battlefield. Even if he dies, he will never become the eagle dog of the Jin people, let alone the princess of the Jin Kingdom Bodyguard.

If Ji Fei was really on the chariot, then it was absolutely impossible for him to enter the palace just to protect the princess of the Jin Kingdom.

He must have a plan.

Or have a deal with that empress.

Yan Yuan thought for a while and said, "Do you know who the Empress of Jin Kingdom is?"

The reigning emperor of Jin three years ago was the useless son of a generation of tyrants who fought against the late emperor for half his life. Although this waste has no talent for governing the country, he is very happy. Although the two countries have not really started a war, there are many frictions at the border.

Why now that there is a new empress, it is necessary to rebuild the old relationship with Yan Guo?And also willing to send a treasure map?
Yan Yuan couldn't believe the pie that fell from the sky.

Qiu Yudao: "The subordinates don't know the truth of it, but only know that the female emperor's surname is Rong, and the single name is a zheng character. She is the empress of their last emperor."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Qiu Yudao: "It is said that the empress came from a famous family, and her hairpin tassels have been very famous in the court for generations. She is a virtuous empress. The former emperor of Jin had a tyrannical government for a long time, and the people complained a lot, so the empress united with the courtiers, Deposed the former emperor."

Yan Yuan said: "Then you became self-reliant?"

Qiu Yu nodded: "The name of the country is Tuozheng."

Yan Yuan: "..."

It is really a fierce queen.

Yan Yuan was dumbfounded.

Afterwards, since the queen became the emperor herself, she changed the style of the Jin Kingdom in the past, not only opened up fertile fields at the border, but also reduced taxes and reduced the people's recuperation. Yan Guo negotiated to take in the survivors of the troubled times living in this part of the cracks.

It's a pity that the turmoil between the two countries has lasted for a hundred years, and how could it be possible to melt the ice overnight.

The female emperor's attempts to make peace several times were not accepted, and she also knew that the Queen Mother's mother family of Yan Kingdom was the Que family who dug the Blue City gold mine back then. The lost treasure map of the Blue City was dedicated to the royal family of Yan Kingdom as a sincerity request for the opening of commerce and trade.

This time she finally impressed the royal court of Yan Kingdom, so Princess Yuerong took the treasure map and entered the imperial capital of Yan Kingdom.

Yan Yuan listened in a daze, thoughtful.

All this sounded reasonable, and she couldn't find a loophole, but she couldn't convince herself either.

Is there really such goodwill between two countries that have fought for many years?

Jin and Yan are equally powerful, she didn't have to do this.What's more, this is a woman who can usurp the throne with multiple powers and establish herself as emperor, and she is definitely not a weak person who seeks peace.

Many doubts were stymied in her heart, and Yan Yuan's brows were slightly furrowed.

Qiu Yu looked at her, and only thought that she was disturbed by Princess Jin's entry into the palace to get married, so she could only comfort her in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, the matter is not yet a foregone conclusion, if there is anyone under your command who can help you... "

Yan Yuan laughed: "Yes."

It's just that this is not very helpful.

Yan Yuan told Qiu Yu the request in her heart, and Qiu Yu agreed without thinking too much.

Yan Yuan gratefully said: "Thank you."

She knew that every time she spoke, it was not easy, and it was obviously full of life-threatening tasks, but he never seemed to hesitate.

Qiu Yu bowed his head and saluted: "The fate of the subordinate belongs to the empress."

He lowered his head, only Yan Yuan's goose-yellow hem was in his vision, just like the sycamore leaves at the gate of Qianzheng Palace in the past.

This is all he can give.

Qiu Yu thought slowly.

There was a moment of silence.

A hesitant voice sounded above his head: "Have you been using this crossbow well recently?"

Yan Yuan's eyes fell on the crossbow in his sleeve: "I just saw that you... didn't hit it."

Qiu Yu was startled, his face flushed instantly, and he was so embarrassed that he almost shrank into the cracks in the ground.

Yan Yuan was also embarrassed, and she tried to explain: "Qiu Yu, I don't have any other intentions... It's just that I need your help tonight to do something unusual. If there is something wrong with this crossbow, it will easily cause trouble... ..."

Yan Yuan said again: "Besides, being unable to shoot is not necessarily a technical problem. The crossbow needs to be adjusted frequently. If there are some cheaper parts in it, it is common to be inaccurate."

Qiu Yu knelt down deeply: "This subordinate is incompetent, this subordinate... has really missed nine out of ten shots recently."

Yan Yuan asked him, "When did it start?"

Qiu Yudao: "...After handing over the registered personal weapon."

Yan Yuan said, "Let me see."

Qiu Yu untied the crossbow and handed it to Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan turned the crossbow over, took off the upper parts one by one, and arranged them neatly on the stone table in the courtyard.

Finally, a small part that was disassembled fell to the ground, and Yan Yuan quickly discovered something was wrong.

In the center of the crossbow, there was originally a piece of black iron the size of a fingernail, which was used to isolate the wooden crossbow body from the small metal arrows.That piece of black iron is extremely hard, without it, such a small and delicate arrow will touch the wood, and the wood will be deformed in a short time, thus losing its aim.

Now that piece of black iron is gone.

Yan Yuan: "..."

Yan Yuan looked at the table full of components and remained silent.

Qiu met Yan Yuan and didn't speak, hesitantly said: "Ma'am, is there a problem?"

Yan Yuan hesitated and said, "It's not your problem, it's because the crossbow is indeed a bit out of alignment."

She thought for a while and asked Qiu Yu, "Who asked you to register?"

Qiu Yudao: "Luo Ziqiu, doctor Luo."

Yan Yuan: "..."

What a dog emperor.

……

At sunset, Yan Yuan bid farewell to Qiu Yu and returned to Wangshu Palace.

Wangshu Palace was already in chaos.

Ruan Zhu rushed up when he saw her, and grabbed Yan Yuan's hand: "My lady, where have you been?"

Yan Yuan hesitated, "What happened?"

Ruan Zhu said: "If you come half an hour later, something will happen."

Yan Yuan became more and more confused: "Isn't it time for the dinner party?"

Ruan Zhu gritted his teeth: "It takes a lot of time to dress up, we must not lose the game when we are in the battle!"

Yan Yuan: "..."

Before Yan Yuan could speak, she was pushed into the room.

Everything after that, she felt muddled.

Take a bath and burn incense, wash and put on makeup.

She didn't know how many procedures had been put on her mere body, probably the same as the chef cooking the Manchu banquet.

Until the sky outside was completely dark, the moon climbed over the willow branches, Yan Yuan looked at her gorgeous and graceful self in the mirror, and blinked silently.

"...the neck is heavy."

"Be patient, losers can't lose."

"..."

It's getting late.

Yan Yuan had no choice but to sit on the chariot with her heavy outfit on her back.

Along the way, she felt in a daze that she had returned to the day when she got married. At that time, she also entered Wangshu Palace with her neck that was about to break.

The chariot slowly rolled into the imperial garden, Ruan Zhu whispered in her ear along the way:
"My lady, don't be afraid, she is just a princess, but my lady is an upright queen."

"If the empress can't bear it, I will hand it over to the servant girl to go back. When the servant girl is finished, the empress only needs to say 'be bold, don't be rude to the princess'."

"Anyway, she is the princess of the Jin Kingdom, and our enemy who has fought for so many years. The queen mother may not be unhappy if she is disrespected."

Yan Yuan: "..."

During the speech, the banquet hall is close at hand.

Yan Yuan stepped into the flower cluster amidst the eunuch's communication, and at the first sight, she saw Chen Lingchen and the Queen Mother sitting on the two chairs at the banquet, and a slim woman sitting on the guest table.

That is probably Princess Yuerong.

At this moment, she turned her back to Yan Yuan, only showing her black hair like a waterfall.

Yan Yuan walked to the center of the banquet hall, and saluted Chen Lingshen and the Queen Mother: "This concubine has seen the Holy Majesty and the Queen Mother."

After saluting, she walked to Chen Lingchen and sat down.

The woman also stood up, and bowed to Yan Yuan with her hands clasped together: "Jin Guoyue Rong, the empress is being polite."

Yan Yuan finally had the opportunity to look at Princess Yuerong squarely, and she was slightly taken aback when her eyes fell on the princess.

This princess of the Jin Kingdom does have an excellent skin. Her black hair is like ink, her skin is like creamy fat, and on her beautiful face, a pair of bright eyes are as bright as stars.

For some reason, when she looked at the princess's face, she always had an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere not long ago, but she couldn't remember it.

The princess was also looking at Yan Yuan.

Eyes meet.

Princess Yuerong smiled at her.

Her smile was warm and a little lazy, just like an orchid grass soaked in light.
