This queen is not too curly

Chapter 63
So Yan Yuan was invited back to Chen Lingchen's carriage.

The convoy finally set off and embarked on the road back to the palace.

The warm sunshine, fresh air, all the good things are gone.Yan Yuan lowered her eyes and sat in the dimly lit carriage, performing what it meant to be lifeless.

Chen Lingchen was very satisfied with this.

His fingertips fiddled with the floating ears, and his voice was slow and leisurely: "Is the queen awake?"

Yan Yuan was stunned and said: "...wake up."

She also did not expect that Luo Ziqiu's tranquilizing incense would have such a powerful effect. She felt dizzy not long after she got on the carriage, and even fell asleep on the carriage afterwards. balls of cotton.

But that's obviously just soothing incense.

Just like what Chen Lingchen said, even rabbits are fine...

Yan Yuan could only understand this strange gap as that she was too tired, and even though she had slept peacefully the whole night last night, her body still hadn't recovered from her fatigue.

Chen Ling's eyes were deep and deep, with a long meaning.

Yan Yuan couldn't understand, so she could only bite the bullet and explain: "The concubine...has always been weak, and has slept very little recently. Just now...it was really careless, and His Majesty laughed at her."

But I don't know if it's her illusion. It seems that after she accidentally finished speaking, the atmosphere in the car became much lower.Chen Ling stopped touching the rabbit, and the white rabbit immediately pricked up its ears in dissatisfaction.

There was silence in the carriage.

After a long time, Chen Ling's indifferent voice sounded: "Just accidentally?"

if not?
Yan Yuan was full of doubts.

Of course she was careless, could it be that she purposely went to sleep in his carriage?

Yan Yuan rolled her eyes in her heart, but on the surface she didn't dare to offend the dog emperor, and she decisively chose to be able to bend and stretch to save her life: "The concubine was rude just now, but the concubine really didn't mean it, please punish the concubine for the crime of disrespect. "

Yan Yuan lowered her head, her voice was soft.

Chen Ling raised his head and looked at Yan Yuan.

She hadn't had time to put on the fur coat on her body, and now she was huddled in the carriage, making her even more petite and thin, exuding... extremely hypocritical and pitiful.

She seems to be pretty good at it.

Obviously, there is a monster with teeth and claws living in his heart, but he sells it miserably, but it is fake.

There was a gloomy look in Chen Ling's eyes.

He said, "The queen thinks that's just rude?"

if not? ? ?
Great doubts were written on Yan Yuan's face.

Obviously it was Luo Ziqiu's soothing incense, and it was Chen Lingchen who personally invited her to get on the carriage. She couldn't support herself and fell asleep. Is it possible that she should be punished for the crime of bullying the emperor?Isn't that the requirement for choosing a dead soldier?

But the dog emperor actually looked insulted.

Yan Yuan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, "Otherwise, how would His Majesty punish you?"

Chen Lingshen still didn't speak.

With a trace of searching in his eyes, he fell on Yan Yuan's face, looked into her eyes, and then was slightly taken aback.

He said, "Don't you remember?"

Yan Yuan looked confused: "What should I remember?"

"..."

"?"

"..."

Yan Yuan, who was confused, looked at Chen Lingchen suspiciously.

Chen Lingchen let out a sigh of relief, and his fingertips fell on Fu Bai's body again.

"Don't remember." The voice was as cold as ever.

"..."

As the dust settled, breathing stopped.

There was only dim silence in the carriage.

Chen Lingchen obviously didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Yan Yuan could only look at him silently, at his thick eyelashes, his cold jawline, at his bony body under his loose clothes, at his pale hands with sleeves exposed, and at the bruises on the backs of his hands. A faint red mark remains.

……Um?This is……

Yan Yuan's gaze stayed.

The light in the carriage was too dark, and she couldn't see the exact appearance of the red marks on the back of his hand, but could only vaguely discern that they were injured by blunt objects.

Could it be that he had contact with that fugitive just now?
And it looks like a loss.

No wonder his temper got worse.

……

Can't be bothered.

……

Yan Yuan sat a little further away without any trace.

The carriage was running, and the carriage shook slightly.

The wheels smashed against the stones on the official road, making a small sound, and the mountain wind blew up the curtains, and brought some sunlight into the dim carriage, making the carriage bright and dark.

Yan Yuan took a small breath, looking at the place where the sun was hiding, feeling envious in her heart.

I really want to go, I want to bask in the sun.

Yan Yuan quietly measured the distance between herself and the sun.

step.

two steps.

Three steps.

Three and a half steps.

Chen Ling sat in the deepest part of the carriage and closed his eyes.

Yan Yuan held her breath and waited for a while, making sure that Chen Lingchen would not open her eyes for a while, so she quietly moved forward an inch, and then looked up at Chen Lingchen.

Chen Lingchen still didn't move.

well.

Yan Yuan was very satisfied, so patiently, she approached the carriage window inch by inch.

I don't know how long it took before her legs finally touched the jumping sunlight, and the warmth bloomed on her knees in an instant.

Mrs. Yan Yuan was satisfied.

She narrowed her eyes happily and let out a sigh of relief.

She originally planned to sleep for a while, but she didn't know how long she had been in a comfortable position, when she heard Chen Lingshen's nightmarish voice:

"Please Queen, tie the curtains."

"?"

Chen Lingchen didn't know when he opened his eyes. At this moment, there was an arrogance on his face that was ready for leisure.

He said: "Gu often finds it hard to sleep, and doesn't like light."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Yan Yuan forced a smile, and said softly: "The curtains of the carriage are already transparent, and there is a little gap, so it doesn't matter whether you cover it or not."

This carriage is completely different from the one just now.

The carriage just now was unique, with iron plates nailed inside, which can block light and prevent stabbing in the dark, and even the curtains are double-layered.The inner layer of the curtain is ordinary gauze, and the outer layer has a layer of silver crocheted net.

And the carriage they were riding in was just an ordinary carriage. The curtains only had a layer of gauze, which already blocked much light. What's more, the carriage was speeding and the window screens were swaying in the wind. How could it be the same as before?
Department or not, the difference is only sunshine.

There is only a little bit of sunshine.

It's like flying light and jumping into gold, only occasionally jumping onto her lap.

In order to win this insignificant warmth, Yan Yuan tried to persuade: "The mountain wind blows the curtains, and the sound of the curtains flipping may be more helpful to sleep."

Yan Yuan's face showed sincerity: "Your Majesty, why don't you relax your body and try it first?"

There was silence in the car.

After a long time, Chen Ling's cold voice sounded slowly.

He said: "I am afraid of the cold and the wind alone."

Yan Yuan: "........."

……

Yan Yuan tied the curtains viciously.

She was finally sure now that this dog thing was on purpose.

He has always been such a person, he likes to see people unlucky, he finds faults when he is in a good mood, and even worse when he is in a bad mood, he can't see the comfort and joy of the people around him.

Such a person turned out to be the king of a country.

It is simply unreasonable!
Yan Yuan held her breath in her heart, and when she sat on the seat, her fair face flushed a little.

Chen Ling looked at her swollen look, pursed the corners of his mouth, and let out a thin, short, mocking sound from his throat.His slender fingers touched his floating ears, and a happy and satisfied light flowed in his eyes.

Another long time passed.

He closed his eyes lightly.

……

The journey back to the city was smoother than Yan Yuan imagined.

The carriage drove quickly on the official road, and Chen Lingchen kept his eyes closed all the way, like a clay bodhisattva sitting in the deepest part of the carriage, without changing his posture for several hours.

In the end, the rabbit couldn't stand it anymore, and slipped cautiously from his arms, rolling over on the ground.

Yo.bunny?

Yan Yuan raised the corner of her mouth towards the rabbit.

The rabbit's whole body trembled suddenly, then quickly turned around, biting the hem of Chen Lingchen's clothes.Using both hands and feet, it crawled back under Chen Lingchen's hands with lightning speed, and returned to its original posture.

Yan Yuan: "..."

Chen Lingchen moved his fingertips and pressed the rabbit's ears.

So, he still didn't fall asleep?

Yan Yuan looked at his blue-gray eyelids, thinking.

Since getting into the carriage, he has maintained the same posture for almost two hours.The carriage bumped on the road, and the chirping of insects and birds in the mountains made people sleepy. Even she had secretly dozed off several times...

And he never seemed to fall asleep for a moment.

Did Chen Ling suffer from insomnia?
That's why there was such a strong soothing fragrance in that carriage just now?
……

When the sun was setting, the convoy finally entered the imperial city.

Half an hour ago, the advance troops had already returned to the palace. Since then, everyone put aside what they were doing and gathered at the gate of the palace, waiting for the return of Shengjia.

Among them, the Department of Internal Affairs was the busiest. The emperor must have been exhausted when he returned from a trip. This was the time for the Department of Internal Affairs to show off.Eunuch Tu Shan, the head of the Department of Internal Affairs, has been leading his staff to prepare properly since the morning, just waiting for the arrival of the royal driver.

In the evening wind, everyone looked forward to it.

Holding a cup of tea in his hand, the Lian Zhang of the mansion followed closely behind Eunuch Tu Shan.

Now that the sun was setting, the crowd was still extremely hot.

Even the manager carefully asked Tu Shan who was in front of him: "Master, why hasn't His Majesty come yet? This disciple's clothes are almost soaked..."

He was already fat, and standing alone in the position of two people, he only felt uncomfortable all over his body at this moment, and he twisted his fat body impatiently, and beads of sweat slipped down his cheeks.

Eunuch Tu Shan glanced at him, frowned and said, "What's on your side?"

Even the manager squeezed out a flattering smile: "Silver leaf soup."

He was originally assigned by the head of the Department of Internal Affairs, and today's battle was none of his business. It was he who relied on his mentorship with Eunuch Tu Shan to get such an errand, and to be able to approach him personally. The nobles please a treat.

Lian Zhang grinned greasyly: "Master, you don't know something. The road is very hot and dry. Last year when the imperial tomb was sacrificed, the imperial concubine was full of praise for the silver leaf soup, so this year I made a special trip to make a bowl..."

Eunuch Tu Shan frowned: "You only have this bowl, aren't you afraid of offending the Holy One?"

Officer Lian shook his head, and smiled triumphantly: "The Holy Majesty's Master Mu, who owns the imperial hospital, waits with his medical apprentices, stewing good medicine and tea, and the Holy Majesty doesn't care who the lowly little person like this disciple gives to. "

But the imperial concubine is different.

Flattery, flattery, naturally must be presented just right.

If it is high, it is easy to be difficult to detect, and if it is low, it will appear to be aggressive.He is a small steward of the Internal Affairs Department, he is neither high nor low, and he personally offered the imperial concubine a refreshing silver leaf soup. Although she would not be grateful, it was always inevitable to take a look.

Even the more he thought about the matter, the more he enjoyed it, the corners of his eyes and brows blossomed.

Eunuch Tu Shan looked at him and shook his head: "What about the Empress?"

Lian Zhang replied slowly: "The Queen's side, it seems that Aunt Liangyu from the Palace of Kindness is waiting, and it seems that she has prepared some kind of warming soup."

Eunuch Tu Shan frowned: "You, you are still immature."

Tu Shangong said: "If the queen gets out of the carriage first, and Aunt Liangyu is still behind you, what should you do? Pass the queen, or wait for Aunt Liangyu to go first?"

The former is disrespectful to the queen, and the latter will offend the imperial concubine.

It's wrong no matter what you do.

Lian Shi was taken aback for a moment, but he hadn't thought about it.

He did almost forget the Queen.

In previous years, the emperor brought concubine Xu to the sacrifices, but this year is special, the emperor also brought the queen with him.

But it's almost the same.

As one of the officials in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he naturally knows better than him that although the empress has been in the palace for some time, she has never had any friendship with the emperor. .

This was originally unreasonable, but it happened to be coupled with the previous rumors in the palace:

The Holy Majesty hated this marriage very much.

In addition, he also holds a secret that no one else knows:

Not only did the Holy Majesty not like that queen, but he was especially afraid of her.Not long ago, he put a lot of eyeliner in Wangshu Palace to closely monitor everything about the queen.Nine times out of ten, once the Queen's fault is caught, she will be deposed without mercy.

Thinking of this, Lian Shi's heart fell back into his stomach.

He smiled at Eunuch Tu Shan: "Master, please rest assured, this disciple is [-]% sure."

Even the boss is full of confidence.

Eunuch Tu Shan stopped talking, and everyone looked forward to it, staring at the gradually rising twilight in the distance.

In the twilight, the sound of horseshoes gradually came.

The sun is setting, and the sunset is all over the sky.

The royal convoy came slowly, and the first dozen or so carriages bypassed the crowd and retreated to the side. Only the last carriage drove straight in, and did not stop until it entered the palace gate.

"Congratulations, Majesty, to return to the palace—!"

"Congratulations, Majesty, to return to the palace—!"

"Congratulations, Majesty, to return to the palace—!"

Everyone knelt on the ground in front of the carriage, and their voices resounded through the sky.

Inside the carriage.

Chen Lingchen just opened his eyes.

Yan Yuan looked at him and found that his eyes were clear and sharp, and he was completely awake.

……sharp.

Yan Yuan admired from the bottom of her heart.

When meeting Bo Ying, Ji Fei once gave a similar concentration test to the whole camp, ordering them to sit in place and close their eyes to see how long they could stay awake.

This was a seemingly easy but actually very difficult training. She was awake for about half an hour at that time.

This is already a good result.

After all, Qin Jianyue started snoring before his butt was hot.

How long did Chen Lingchen hold on today?

……

The curtain of the carriage had been lifted, and Chen Ling walked past Yan Yuan and walked out of the carriage.

Yan Yuan was still in a daze.

Her eyes followed Chen Lingchen's back, but found that he didn't get off the carriage immediately, but stopped, turned around and extended his hand to her.

"Yan Yuan."

His voice was low and flat.

He called her by her name, not the queen.

Yan Yuan suddenly noticed that every time he called Yan Yuan, his tone and demeanor were completely different from when he called the Queen.

At this moment, the sky outside was already dark, Chen Ling turned his back to the light, his expression and eyes were hidden in the shadows, Yan Yuan could only see a blurry shadow.

But Yan Yuan has a strange intuition.

For such a long time, this may be the first time that Chen Lingchen has really seen her existence.
