This queen is not too curly

Naturally, he went to pay homage to Concubine Mei from the previous dynasty.

Yan Yuan stared at Song Wan'er sincerely.

……

Song Waner was completely stunned.

This is different from what she expected.

Long before the sacrifice, she had already received rumors that Yan Yuan often stayed near the plum garden.

At that time, the rumors of babies crying and ghosts had not spread, and the only thing related to Meiyuan was the legend about Concubine Mei from the previous dynasty. Although Yan Yuan entered the palace for a long time, she had never really gotten close to Shengjia. The purpose of the garden is actually obvious.

She had gotten the news a long time ago, but she didn't launch an attack immediately. Instead, she deliberately asked people to bring up the old story of Meiyuan in the palace, adding fuel and embellishment, and exaggerating.

Soon the rumors about Concubine Mei in the palace intensified, and then the incident in the Blue City White Bone Pit happened, and everything developed far beyond her expectations...

But she didn't expect that the knife she stabbed would send Yan Yuan to the Qianzheng Palace instead.

And later, it is now.

Song Wan'er couldn't calm down, and after concentrating for a long time, he finally opened his mouth: "The empress is joking..."

"No joke."

Yan Yuan's voice was soft, but there was an imperceptible unscrupulousness in it.

"I went to the Plum Garden to worship Concubine Mei."

Song Waner's breathing stopped suddenly.

Her heart was turbulent, and she turned her head slightly to glance at the empress dowager's and Chen Ling's expressions.

Before she opened her mouth, she had rehearsed countless times in her chest. She thought that Yan Yuan would deny it flatly, and also thought that Yan Yuan would follow the steps she gave, saying that she was going to enjoy the autumn and see the scenery.At that time, she will ask a few more questions, and there is no need to press the question in court at all, the Queen Mother and the Holy Majesty will know it well.

But who would have thought that Yan Yuan would admit that she was going to the Plum Garden to worship Concubine Mei.

How is this possible?
Now that the Queen Mother is with the Holy Majesty, how dare she?
That being the case...

You can't blame her for going with the flow.

Song Wan'er took a deep breath, maintaining a surprised expression on his face, and said softly, "Forgive me for being stupid, why does the queen want to pay homage to Concubine Mei?"

Yan Yuan said leisurely: "Naturally, I'm praying to Concubine Mei, asking her to bless my palace so that I can sleep with you as soon as possible."

Chen Lingshen: "..."

Yan Yuan ignored Chen Lingshen's gaze.

She then looked at Song Wan'er: "The old things in Meicheng are not over yet, the ever-burning lamp of the Buddha Bone Pagoda was only ignited, and the palace is still deep in the turmoil. Concubine Xu, you mention these things..."

Yan Yuan sighed softly at Song Wan'er: "It's embarrassing for me."

There was no sound in the garden at this moment.

Not only Song Wan'er, but even the Queen Mother and Chen Lingchen looked at Yan Yuan in silence, and the passing ladies and eunuchs didn't even dare to take a breath.

Song Wan'er hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this concubine is not..."

Yan Yuan said indifferently: "Oh? Didn't you mention it?"

Song Wan'er's face suddenly turned pale.

How dare she mention those two things?
The rebellious officials strangled by the queen mother and the emperor are still alive, even if she has eight hundred guts, she dare not touch this restricted area.

She just expected that Yan Yuan would not dare to touch these things lightly, and wanted to make use of the problem to temporarily suppress Yan Yuan's head, but unexpectedly, Yan Yuan exposed her shortcomings like crazy.

Song Wan'er panicked: "The Queen's Majesty knows that, the concubine doesn't mean that...the concubine..."

Yan Yuan said lightly: "You said you didn't mean anything like that, but I am so terrified. I am afraid that my words will make mistakes and embarrass the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager, so I am very scared now."

Her voice was soft and soft, and there was a hint of distress in her words.

Chen Lingshen: "..."

Chen Ling lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Song Wan'er is a well-rounded person.

Although she grew up in the borderlands, she has a delicate heart, and she speaks and does everything perfectly. If she intends to bully others, she can make people fall into the abyss with her soft words.

When she first entered the palace, it was not that there were no concubines in the palace that the Empress Dowager liked, but she used this method to cover her mouth and nose silently one after another, and finally they all left the scene in a sullen mood.

And now she obviously met a nemesis.

She has always talked about advancing and retreating, but she has met a ruthless character who does not play cards according to common sense.

Yan Yuan was obviously trying to overturn the table.

The number of ways is completely wrong, but the effect is quite interesting.

Song Wan'er was so frightened that her whole body turned cold, she was born to judge the situation, how could she not know that the situation in front of her has completely changed shape?
She said with difficulty: "How dare my concubine talk about government affairs, my concubine..."

Yan Yuan said: "Oh? That's why you don't dare to touch the Blue City and the Buddha Bone Pagoda, but the plum garden that you specially mentioned."

There were no other sounds in the garden.

Song Wan'er turned to Chen Lingchen for help, but found that Chen Lingchen had no intention of speaking, and he didn't even look at her.

And the Queen Mother...

Suspicion had already risen in the Queen Mother's eyes.

Despair enveloped Song Waner.

After thinking over and over again, she finally stood up from the table and knelt down in front of Yan Yuan.

"The concubine is guilty, please punish me."

……

Song Waner knelt on the ground, her back stiffened.

There was no sound in the garden.

After a long time, the Queen Mother's voice resounded: "Since you are convicted, you should be punished."

The Empress Dowager's eyes glanced at Song Wan'er's face, and said calmly: "Ai Jia remembers that Concubine Xu's home is in the northwest border, and it is not far from Anding City. Since the same source, Concubine Xu might as well go to the Buddha's Bone Let's copy scriptures."

Song Wan'er's face was livid, and he glanced in Chen Ling's direction again.

Unfortunately, still no response.

She could only bow her head in despair: "The concubine accepts the punishment, thank the queen mother for her kindness."

Yan Yuan: "..."

The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on Yan Yuan again, with reproach in her eyes: "As for you, you are really confused."

Yan Yuan walked to the Empress Dowager's table with a sullen head, and knelt down silently.

Do you play [-] big boards each?
She wondered in her heart, should she try crying?She didn't want to go back to the Buddha Bone Pagoda to copy scriptures.

"After all, you are too busy to listen to rumors, and Aijia will reward you with something to do."

The queen mother looked at Yan Yuan and said leisurely: "Next month is Ai's birthday, and Ai's fine you to host the birthday banquet, which will keep you busy for a while, do you have any objections?"

Yan Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "No."

A venomous light flashed in Song Wan'er's eyes.

Her fingertips dug deeply into the belly of her palm, and it took all her strength to barely maintain the expression on her face.

The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is always grand, and it needs to mobilize the power of the whole country to contribute to the whole country. How much is at stake in it?
This is not a punishment, it is clearly a great reward.

Didn't the Queen Mother punish Yan Yuan for running an errand?

It's about delegating power, rewarding her with benefits, and giving her connections that take root in the imperial capital and even the entire ruling and opposition parties!
Those things were clearly something she had planned for a long time...

She felt resentful in her heart, every breath was extremely painful, but she could do nothing, she could only pin her hope on Chen Lingchen, who was the Son of Heaven, and he would never give the Yan family such a secret.

The Empress Dowager looked at Chen Lingchen again: "Does the emperor think there is something wrong?"

Song Wan'er looked at Chen Lingchen full of hope.

At this time, Chen Ling was sitting behind the table, with a rare calm expression on his face, and An Ran's focus in his eyes, just looking at... Yan Yuan's back from the air.

Maybe he didn't even know it, but he had a smile on his face at the moment.

He said lightly: "There is nothing wrong with it."

Song Wan'er's heart fell into ice at this moment.

She knew that what she had dreaded for so long had finally happened.

……

When the banquet ended, it was almost noon.

Yan Yuan's stomach growled with hunger.

She lowered her head and walked quickly, and Chen Lingchen followed unhurriedly, like a lazy wolf, slowly following her prey.

Yan Yuan felt her back was about to catch fire.

She had to stop, waiting for Chen Lingshen to come to her side, and then told him: "Your Majesty, this concubine wants to look back at Shu Gong, and I am not on the same path as Your Majesty."

Chen Ling said calmly: "Before leaving the Palace of Kindness, we will go the same way."

That's right.

Yan Yuan took a deep breath and said, "It's because I'm in the Palace of Kindness, so I need to avoid suspicion."

She was anxious in her heart. Seeing that Chen Lingchen's sleeves were about to touch hers, she silently moved two steps away. After looking again, she felt that it was not enough, so she moved another half step away.

Chen Lingshen: "..."

She seems to have turned back into a loach again.

Shrinking his head and brain under the sun, he just wanted to drill into the shadows at the base of the wall.

The more she was like this, the more depressed ripples agitated in his chest. These ripples were silent, but made him do... boring actions that he had never planned for himself.

Chen Ling turned around and blocked Yan Yuan's way.

He blocked her in the shadow of the wall, blocked more light from her with his body, and sure enough, he saw Yan Yuan's eyes were covered with an angry light.

Chen Ling was very satisfied.

He was condescending, with a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely: "Didn't you still ask about the bed attendant in the morning, why, should we avoid suspicion now?"

Long voice.

There was a slow malice.

Yan Yuan took a deep breath and said: "Serving the bedroom is serving the bedroom, avoiding suspicion is avoiding suspicion."

Chen Ling said calmly, "What's the difference?"

Yan Yuan gritted her teeth and said, "There is a difference between life and death!"

The familiar bad breath was stuck in her chest again, and Yan Yuan felt that she was about to explode.

"Your Majesty is playing with concubines like this, what do you mean?"

"The old incident in Lancheng has tied you and me into the same boat, and we have shared honor and disgrace long ago."

"Your Majesty still thinks that the Empress Dowager really favors me so much that she won't attack me easily?"

The more Yan Yuan thought about it, the more angry she became, her chest heaved up and down.

She was lucky that she didn't suffer from this hungry Hongmen banquet today.The queen mother is so sensitive and suspicious. She was completely dazzled by the dog emperor's tricks just now, so she was given this job by accident.

Chen Lingshen's game of secreting Chen Cang may be useful if you play it once, but if you play it the second time, what if the Queen Mother really thinks that they are in love?
She had only half life left.

It's really cold if you are not careful!
Yan Yuan was furious.

Chen Ling's eyes gradually calmed down.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "So you just... just because you are afraid that the queen mother will be suspicious?"

Yan Yuan didn't understand, so she asked, "What happened to me just now?"

Chen Lingshen: "..."

Yan Yuan: "???"

Chen Ling lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding her sight.

He said: "So, between the Queen Mother and Gu, did the Empress choose Gu?"

Yan Yuan gritted her teeth: "What does Your Majesty think?"

After all, Chen Lingshen and the Queen Mother were different to her.

If she had chosen the empress dowager, she would not follow him out of the garden, she would find a reason to stay in the palace of kindness, and wipe her tears on the empress dowager's lap.

rather than as it is now.

Being blocked in the dark by him, he was so angry that he could only grind his teeth.

They are still in the Palace of Kindness and Virtue, and their contacts are all the Queen Mother's eyeliner. She risked her life and wanted to help her, so she got this dog in return!

Yan Yuan glared at Chen Lingchen viciously.

Chen Ling's heavy eyelashes trembled, and he finally stepped back half a step away.

The sun fell between the two of them, illuminating Yan Yuan's eyelashes.A little bit of dust fell from her eyelashes, she blinked in a rare clumsy and confused way.

Chen Lingchen suddenly realized that he was being pleased.

Luo Ziqiu once asked him why he was so harsh on Yan Yuan. He thought it was because of Yan Yuan, but later found out that it was not the case.

His hostility towards Yan Yuan seems to be innate.

Seeing her bulging into a ball with anger, throwing away her armor in embarrassment, watching her throwing off her gentle mask and showing her sharp canine teeth in a frenzy, all of this made him feel very interesting.

He had an unspeakable joy.

Even if she wanted to bask in the sun, he wanted to block it with his hand.

Not for anything else, just not wanting to make her happy.

Seeing her angry made him happy.

But now, he found that the ferocity in his heart continued unabated, he leaned slightly towards her, and whispered each word: "Yan Yuan, you chose me, so you can't go back and get off the boat."

He stared into her eyes and said in a low voice: "Otherwise Gu will let you, and there is no way to seek death."

Under the sun, a cold wave surged in Chen Ling's Shen pupils.

Yan Yuan raised her head and looked into his eyes.

She wasn't actually afraid of that look.

When she was still Ning Bai, she had seen desperate enemies on the battlefield, and a pack of wolves hunting in the snowfield. Each pair of their eyes was full of murderous intent, lonely and focused.

But now facing Chen Ling's deep gaze, an irrelevant thought suddenly flashed in her mind:

Did he do the same thing back then, inviting Song Waner to board the boat?
