This queen is not too curly

Chapter 56 I really don't understand!
Yan Yuan knew that she might have won the bet.

This was the first time in a long time that she felt that she had really touched Chen Lingchen's weakness.

He lowered his head, all the hostility in his body receded.

Like a beast showing its soft belly.

Enough was enough, she slowly closed her eyes, and immediately recited the mantra of passing away silently in her heart.

White ribbons of mountain peaks, fluttering in the wind.

The scorching sun shone ten thousand feet of light, and the dark red court dress on Yan Yuan's body shone brightly.

Yan Yuan didn't know who the benefactor Chen Ling was talking about, whether it was a man or a woman, just like she didn't know the names and souls of the comrades who fell beside her on the battlefield.

The vegetation withers, and the living die.

She is willing to bid them farewell.

The mountain wind does not know when it will stop.

Yan Yuan didn't know how many times she silently recited the mantra of rebirth, when she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the palace man who was walking towards her in a hurry.

"Just now, the sage has a decree, ordering the servants not to disturb."

Seeing that she finally stopped chanting, the palace servant stepped forward to hold Yan Yuan's wrist.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, you'd better go back earlier."

"Can the empress stand still? The servants have prepared a sedan chair for the empress, which is just outside the mausoleum."

Only then did Yan Yuan realize that it seemed that a long time had passed.Chen Lingchen had already disappeared, and there were only a few palace officials waiting for her in such a huge imperial tomb.

Yan Yuan nodded.

She had been standing all afternoon, and her back was indeed aching, so she obeyed and got on the chariot outside the imperial mausoleum, and was carried back to the palace at the foot of the mountain by the palace people.

She was really tired, and she couldn't wait to take off the heavy clothes on her head and body, and have a good sleep again.

It's a pity that things backfired.

She had just returned to the door of the room when she saw a familiar figure sitting under the flower stand in the courtyard.

The man looked really bored waiting, there were several tea cups in different styles on the stone table in front of him.

Hearing the sound, he turned around and smiled at Yan Yuan with all the creases on his face.

"The old minister sees the empress."

"..."

The man had a pleasant smile: "Why, doesn't the empress welcome the old minister?"

Yan Yuan was silent for a while, then said coldly: "No, you are welcome, I just thought you had already returned to the city, and went to see the doctor for a prescription for tranquilizing the mind."

After all, it was quite real to shrink in the pile of civil servants just now.

How can I survive without taking some medicine to suppress shock?

Yan Zhou: "..."

……

Feeling like she couldn't sleep well, Yan Yuan could only let Xiao Yuxin make a pot of refreshing tea, and sat under the flower stand by herself, chatting with her long-lost old father.

Yan Yuan still held a breath in her heart.

This old fox has never been a fuel-efficient lamp. He didn't make a move when King Xuan's horse stepped on the imperial tomb, and he didn't make a move when Chen Lingshen slaughtered the armored cavalry.

He is obviously a killer who can stop children from crying at night. During the turmoil just now, he tugged on the sleeves of the civil servants and shivered with them.

Yan Yuan couldn't figure out what the old fox was thinking.

But she can be angry.

But if he was willing to make a noise just now, why is she in such a mess?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, she gritted her teeth and stared at Yan Zhou.

Yan Zhou coughed dryly: "Father is really not in good health recently."

Yan Yuan said coldly: "...Really? Do you want to see the imperial doctor?"

Yan Zhou shook his head: "That's not necessary, just rest."

He spoke plainly and sincerely, even with a little loneliness on his face.

Even Yan Yuan couldn't help hesitating: Ever since she entered the palace, her father has been on leave for many days without going to court early. Could it be that she is really sick?

She looked at Yan Zhou carefully, and turned his hesitant eyes around his face, but she saw that he was refreshed, his eyes were bright, and even most of the gray hair from the past few years had returned to black. sick.

Yan Yuan's eyes showed concern.

Yan Zhou looked very satisfied, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes bloomed.

Yan Zhoudao: "A month ago, Sheng Sheng promoted a brother from the Song family to take over Dali Temple. Now the new relatives are in full swing, fighting against the Queen Mother's old relatives. There is also a group of bitter people led by Prime Minister Yu Xingzhi in the court. The rotten stream is against them."

Yan Zhou smiled dryly: "Now the court is very stable, why should our family be this...a stone thrown into the lake?"

Yan Yuan didn't know much about the affairs of the court, so she heard Yan Zhou's words in a blur, and probably heard some meaning: now the court is a three-legged force, and the three forces are mutually restraining, and no one can get benefits.

And the old fox wanted to lie flat.

But didn't he just form an alliance with the Queen Mother?

Isn't the purpose of forming an alliance to break this tripartite confrontation?
Yan Yuan was full of doubts in her heart, and asked directly: "Then what about the deal between father and queen mother?"

Yan Zhou said lightly: "It's just an alliance, it's not selling yourself."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Disrespectful.

She has been away from home for many years, and she almost forgot what kind of temperament this old fox is.

When Emperor Hui was in power back then, the first emperor was just an unfavorable prince. The old fox helped the first emperor make great military exploits all the way. The dragon chair that might belong to him.

Throughout the ages, the court has always been full of birds and beasts, not to mention the former emperor who did not come to the throne so well.

So after the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he killed many old ministries and dismissed countless old people, only the old fox remained.

Everyone thought that he could not escape the end of a dead dog, but no one expected that the old fox not only did not die, but lived in peace and stability year after year, securing his position as Marquis of Dingbei.

Even after the late emperor passed away, he was still the Marquis of Dingbei.

This old fox has never done a loss-making business.

That was the case back then, and it won't change now.

Now he is sitting under the flower stand, sipping tea with squinted eyes, like an old quail basking in the sun.

He looked up at Yan Yuan, and took another sip of tea.

"At the beginning, the old and new relatives were fighting each other, and the court was unstable, so I lent her some power."

Yan Zhou shook the teacup slowly, with a carefree expression: "Now that Yu Xingzhi leads a group of scholars to stand against them, naturally, I don't need any more effort from my Yan family."

Yu Xingzhi?
This is the first time Yan Yuan heard this name.

She knew very little about the personnel in the court, and the name still sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she heard it.

She thought about it, and asked curiously, "Who is Yu Xingzhi?"

Yan Zhou said: "Didn't you meet him today?"

Yan Yuan:?
Yan Zhou said slowly: "Prime Minister of the current dynasty, a young talent, the leader of the Qingliu, if you look at the civil servants, the one who is so pedantic and hypocritical is the one."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Generals are always prejudiced against civil servants, and Yan Zhou's dislike is beyond words.

But aren't all civil servants like this?

Yan Yuan was also very puzzled, she hadn't actually looked at the civil servants carefully, after all, she was mainly concerned about the assassins at the time, and the civil servants couldn't run fast even if they took out knives.

In her mind, those civil servants were just a bunch of shivering chickens and ducklings. No matter how she recalled them, she could only remember a vague shadow.

She racked her brains to think about it.

Inadvertently, a shadow suddenly flashed in my mind.

At that time, she was looking away from her father and casually glanced at the civilian team.There was a young man standing at the head of the line. Just because of her accidental glance, that man solemnly joined hands and made a bow.

Yu Xingzhi, could it be him?

Yan Yuan guessed in her heart.

But this is not a very important matter, and she has nothing to do with the prime minister, so her attention fell back to the old fox.

Yan Yuan asked him: "What did Daddy come here today..."

The smile on Yan Zhou's face faded away, and his expression became serious: "Daddy came today to ask you, do you want to go back outside the pass?"

Back outside the customs?
Yan Yuan was stunned.

Yan Zhou said slowly: "There is a new agreement between my father and the empress dowager, and I will go back outside the customs for a while to recuperate.

This is a brand new agreement, a balance he has calculated for a long time.His return to the outside of the customs will be beneficial to the Chu family's imperial court, and it is also the best choice for the Yan family. Now that he is in the imperial capital, the only person he is worried about is Yan Yuan.

He holds in his palm the daughter he regards as a treasure.

A gem almost lost three years ago.

Part of this visit to the imperial mausoleum was to pay homage to the deceased, and the other part was to ask her opinion, to see if she would go back outside the pass with him.

Yan Zhou said: "If you want to go home, you can go back with Daddy right now. You don't need to worry about Tianleiaocao, Daddy has his own way."

Yan Yuan was stunned when she heard it, and it took a long time to recover.

"But Daddy." Yan Yuan hesitated, "My daughter is already married."

The covenant between him and the Queen Mother is true.

It is true that she married into the palace.

She was married to Chen Lingchen, it was not a contractual engagement, she entered the palace as the real empress of the dynasty, and from then on, she could never leave the palace again.

In the past dynasties, where is there a precedent for a queen leaving the palace?
Everything has a price.

This was something she had carefully considered a long time ago.

Yan Zhou said: "If you get married, won't you be my Yan Zhou's daughter?"

Yan Yuan replied in a daze, "Of course."

Yan Zhou said: "So, as long as you want to go home."

Yan Zhou's eyes were sharp, and he was still that unstoppable killer galloping on the battlefield in a trance.

Now this fierceness is not for killing people, but for the treasure in my heart.

Yan Yuan looked at him, squinted her eyes and smiled.

She knew Daddy could do it.

Since she was a child, she has written countless wish lists, and there are also strange and whimsical ideas in them, but he fulfilled them all.

He is the dignified Marquis of Dingbei, if he wants to take his daughter away, even if she is already the queen of the dynasty, he will definitely find a foolproof way.

Unfortunately.

Her current wish cannot be written on the wish list.

No one can help.

Yan Yuan was silent for a while, then said softly: "Daughter's life in the palace is quite good."

Yan Zhou: "Yuaner."

Yan Yuan raised her head and smiled at Yan Zhou: "Father, don't worry, I will take good care of my body in the palace and live a long and long life."

Yan Zhou frowned: "But the emperor..."

Yan Yuan said: "He and I just formed an alliance, and we should be able to get along peacefully in the future."

Although Chen Lingchen was a mad dog with a violent temper, based on his experience back then, after smoothing his hair, he could occasionally be good for a while.

After a long time, she should still be able to get along well with him.

Yan Zhou's expression was distorted, and he hesitated to speak: "You don't think that, as the empress, you and him only need to conclude an alliance and live in peace, right?"

Yan Yuan:?
if not?
Yan Yuan's face was full of doubts.

Yan Zhou's face was immediately filled with a hesitant expression: "You..."

He sighed, and there was a hint of disgust mixed with love in his eyes: "I'm really not enlightened."

Yan Yuan:? ? ?
