This queen is not too curly

Chapter 38 Cunning Rabbit
In the dark of night, the bonfire blazed.

Everyone sitting around the campfire felt a chill.

They were all Chen Lingchen's servants and ministers. Unlike the old men in the court, they were only loyal to Chen Lingchen.In previous years, when worshiping the imperial tomb, Chu Lingchen always brought his concubine with him, although that empress did not seem very suitable for the imperial tomb...what does it matter to them?As long as the master is happy!
But this year is different.

This year, Chen Lingshen brought two of them, one concubine and the daughter of Marquis Dingbei.

Although the queen is rumored to be gentle, virtuous, cowardly and incompetent, no matter how docile and virtuous she is, she is Yan Zhou's daughter. This green hat is bigger than her head, can she bear it?

The night wind blew, the bonfire was on and off, sparks were flying in the sky like stars.

Yan Yuan's emotions had been calmed down by the cold wind. She stood there with her head bowed for a while, and when she raised her head, her face had returned to a gentle and tender look, and she walked towards Chen Lingchen with her skirt in hand.

It's okay, it's not the first day I know this dog.

He has always known how to punish his heart, if he is really angry, he will fall for him.

"The concubine is rude in coming late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

With a faint smile on the corner of Yan Yuan's mouth, she walked to Chen Lingchen's side, pointed to the position of the white-haired rabbit and asked softly, "Your Majesty, can I sit here?"

Chen Ling looked back at Yan Yuan deeply.

There was a soft orange light in the eyes of the girl standing in front of her. She was covered with a thick fur collar, and her whole body was indescribably soft under the bonfire.

The corner of Chen Ling's mouth slightly raised: "Yes."

Can?Yan Yuan had already made a full set of preparations, she even secretly poured the weeping potion given by Chen Niang on her sleeve, and as soon as the time was right, she could cover her face and cry like a widow without any flaws!
But he actually agreed?
Is he such a negotiable person?

He was so forthright, Yan Yuan didn't dare.

She glanced suspiciously at Chen Lingchen, and then scanned the people around the campfire. At that moment, she felt that everyone's eyes were filled with subtle emotions, and even Song Wan'er's eyes were full of ambiguity. Like waiting to see a good show.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the rabbit?
Yan Yuan looked down at the rabbit.

The rabbit is the most common big white rabbit. It looks like it has been raised very well. It has a fat body and a soft hair. It looks like the kind that will be so delicious when it is roasted.Either way, it's a good rabbit.

Yan Yuanshan didn't hesitate any longer, and stepped forward to grab the rabbit's neck.

"Your Majesty can't..."

Someone in the crowd couldn't bear to yell out, it was the guard at the gate of the Ganzheng Hall.

But it was too late.

The moment Yan Yuan's hand touched the rabbit, the white rabbit suddenly widened its blood-red eyes, made a short creaking sound from the bottom of its throat, twisted its body, and opened a small bloody mouth towards Yan Yuan. Tobi's wrist was bitten off!
"squeak--"

Everyone was waiting for Yan Yuan's scream to sound.

The thin-skinned and tender fingers that can almost see through the light under the campfire will definitely be torn off a piece of flesh and blood. At that time, the pampered girl will definitely scream in pain, maybe crying until she can't breathe.

They are all killers, and each of them has a remnant of bad roots in their bones. They want to see gentle and soft girls toss and turn in pain, and want to see high-ranking people scream and cry.

Even Chen Lingchen, he was waiting.

He squinted his eyes, with a gentle expression on his face.

However, they were disappointed, the expected picture did not happen.

That rabbit, known for its cruelty, was already ready to go, but it suddenly closed its mouth the moment its beard touched Yan Yuan's wrist, and then its whole body curled up and trembled slightly. The girl picked it up easily and put it on her lap.

This is the first time it... shakes like a rabbit.

For a moment, it seemed that even the bonfire was still for a moment.

Yan Yuan sat down beside Chen Lingchen, touched the rabbit's ears, twirled the top of the rabbit's head with her pale fingertips, and said softly, "Good boy."

It was quiet all around.

Chen Ling was slightly startled when he heard her voice.

Yan Yuan raised her head, showing a confused face: "What's wrong?"

The bonfire remained on and off, and no one answered for a long time. After a long time, Luo Ziqiu's laughter resounded.He took out a fan from nowhere, and lightly tapped the rabbit on the head of the fan.

"It's nothing, it's just that this rabbit usually doesn't like to be touched by others, but today it hits off with the empress."

"Oh." Yan Yuan suddenly realized, with a warm smile on the corner of her mouth, "Probably because I also raised a rabbit at home, and it has a little smell on it, so it liked it."

She lowered her head and fiddled with the rabbit's ears. The rabbit bared its teeth again, but immediately retracted them, curled up obediently and shivered.Yan Yuan curled her mouth and covered the rabbit's body with her wide sleeves.

Of course, Yan Yuan has never raised rabbits.

After she settled down in Chen Lingchen, she turned back to the snowfield, trying to find the whereabouts of Ji Fei and other companions, but she found nothing. Instead, she encountered two packs of wolves fighting in the mountain, and rescued them from the mouth of the wolf king. Got a little wolf cub.The little wolf cub was congenitally deficient and weak, so he would not be able to survive if left in the wild, so she simply took it back to the medicine furnace.

She has been with the little wolf cub for three years, and she smells like a wolf to some extent. Of course, it is not a problem to suppress the rabbit.

Yan Yuan raised her head and looked at Chen Lingchen with a smile: "Does your majesty have a name for this rabbit?"

There was no expression on Chen Ling's face. The bonfire outlined a patch of light and shadow on his face. His eyes swept across the motionless rabbit, and said calmly, "Trash."

Yan Yuan blinked and exclaimed: "Your Majesty's name is really bold and unruly, the spirit of the Son of Heaven."

Luo Ziqiu: "..."

The unexpected episode was fleeting, and the bonfire continued.

Yan Yuan warmed her hands with a rabbit while observing Chen Lingchen.

I don't know if it was thanks to the rabbit, although Chen Lingchen still didn't give her a look that night, he didn't get clingy with Song Wan either.He seemed to have something on his mind, staring at the blazing bonfire, distracted, not knowing what he was thinking about, he didn't even see Song Wan'er flirting with him a few times, Song Wan'er's eyes were red with anxiety.

After all, it's a man, it's all a dog thing.

Yan Yuan peeled a grape slowly and looked at Song Wan'er sympathetically.

Back then, she also really appreciated this fresh and refined camellia in the mountain city, but now she has changed a lot. I think it is probably not easy to live in the imperial capital city where the civil and military officials scolded the concubine. Relying on nothing but the favor of a generation of tyrants.

Unfortunately, she still doesn't understand.

Man cannot live by others.

……

Unknowingly, the night was already deep, but Chen Lingchen had the intention of returning to the camp.

If he didn't leave, no one would dare to leave first. When the bonfire was almost burnt out, Chen Lingchen stood up slowly, and pointed his fingertips at the crowd, signaling that everyone could leave and return to their tents to rest.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and before they could disperse, they suddenly heard a weak cry from someone.

That was the imperial concubine Song Wan'er. She suddenly turned pale for some reason, and beads of sweat emerged from her forehead. She clutched her stomach and moaned on the spot: "Your Majesty... my concubine...suddenly felt a colic in my stomach... ..."

At that time, the bonfire was about to go out, and the sparks set off Song Waner's tearful Qiushui pupils, like the starry sky on an autumn night, anyone who saw them would be fascinated.

The crowd around the campfire walked more and more slowly.

finally coming?

Everyone was rubbing their hands in their hearts, since they saw the two of them in the same carriage in the afternoon, they had already guessed, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, who will be able to enter the emperor's tent tonight, the imperial concubine and the daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei?
In the silence, everyone's breath was almost audible.

Beads of sweat dripped from Song Wan'er's forehead. She was not acting on the occasion. In order to let everyone believe that she was really unwell, she just stuck a thin silver needle into her fingertip. Although no blood was seen, it was Enough to make her suddenly sick.

"The queen is here today, Wan'er doesn't want to overstep the rules..."

"Smile... just a little scared, half an hour is fine, Your Majesty..."

Song Wan'er's body was bent, and his whole body was trembling, as if he was fighting for the strength of breastfeeding before he said: "That snowy night, His Majesty held my concubine's hand and promised to make my concubine fulfill his wish..."

After all, Chen Lingshen could not stand on the sidelines to the end.

Song Wan'er's state didn't look like acting. He bent down to check Song Wan'er's condition, but Song Wan'er's eyes leisurely passed his shoulders and landed on Yan Yuan's body, with a happy light in his eyes.

From the first time she saw her, she hated this Yan Yuan.

It wasn't because Yan Yuan snatched her queen position, but because she knew that her timidity was faking.The other people at the banquet couldn't tell, that's because each of them was born to be the favorite of heaven, but she could tell at a glance that all her cowardice was a cloak of hypocrisy.

Did she think that if she lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, she would be perfect if she pretended to be cowardly and obedient?

Only those who have never been treated harshly by others would consider such a gesture to be humble.There was no begging for mercy in her eyes at all, it was obvious that every strand of hair revealed arrogance.

It was such a person who easily climbed onto her head.

Made her look like a joke.

A joke that tries hard but falls flat.

But fortunately, she has one thing that Yan Yuan is destined to be unable to overcome - the past between her and Chen Lingshen.

In the cold winter of that year, two forest guards took him to the county government office where her father worked.She took him home, tossed and turned all night, fed him soup and medicine, and waited for his body to gradually improve bit by bit.She concealed the ins and outs, and told him that she found him when she went out to enjoy the snow, and finally changed his eyes.

"How? What kind of injury did you get?" Chen Ling asked in a low voice.

Song Wan'er looked at his face with a pale smile.

Even though Chen Lingchen was a ruthless person, she knew that she was special.

She met Chen Lingchen when his blood was not yet fully cooled.

Only this life-saving grace is something that Yan Yuan can't take away no matter what.
