The lotus flowers in full bloom in the lake, like a stretched green umbrella pavilion standing on the blue waves, like layers of green waves, like pieces of jade. And a young girl in a long green dress is standing by the lake and playing the flute.

Yan Wushuang was not satisfied with the painting, and said with a frown: "How do you draw the side, not the front?" He wanted a portrait of Han Yuxi, not a beautiful painting.

Yuchen said: "Isn't this artistic conception better?" She did it on purpose, deliberately not painting the front of Yuxi, she has been cheated too many times Yuchen is now long-eyed.

Yan Wushuang didn't think much about it this time, just looked at the girl in the portrait and said, "This is Han Yuxi?" The appearance of the woman in the painting can only be regarded as middle and upper-class, and there is nothing special about it.

Yuchen hummed and said: "In the mansion, Yuxi is not very talented, nor is she very talented, and she doesn't like to socialize." "It's not that Yuxi doesn't like socializing, but because of those rumors, everyone rejects her and isolates her. Therefore, she would rather nest in the study and read a book than be bored.

Yan Wushuang also knew about these things: "Yunqing has cedered power, and Han Yuxi has become the real person in charge. ”

Yuchen looked up at Yan Wushuang and said, "What does the prince mean by this?" What is the real person in power.

Yan Wushuang smiled, but the smile couldn't reach the bottom of his eyes: "It means that even Yunqing has to listen to Han Yuxi now." Han Yuxi has become the uncrowned emperor of the northwest. ”

Yuchen said with difficulty, "Uncrowned Emperor?"

"Yes, Uncrowned Emperor. Yan Wushuang said: "Han Yuxi can actually let Yunqing hand over all the power and military power, I'm really curious how she did it." "Yunqing let Han Yuxi take charge of the power, it can be said that he doesn't like government affairs, but now that he even handed over the military power to Han Yuxi, he really can't figure it out.

If the military regime grasps it, it is not the uncrowned emperor. Yuchen lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "How can the concubine know something that even the prince can't figure out?"

Yan Wushuang just said casually, who really wanted to get the answer here in Yuchen. What he didn't know, how could Han Yuchen know!

When Mama Gui entered the house, she saw Yuchen sitting on a chair in a daze: "Niangniang, what's wrong?" Every time Han Yuxi is involved, her own master is not good.

Yuchen raised his head, looked at Mama Gui and said, "Just now the prince said that Yunqing handed over the power and army to Yuxi. Yuxi now owns most of the country. ”

If this is the case, except for the lack of the title of emperor, wouldn't it be no different from the emperor. Mama Gui opened her mouth wide in shock: "How is this possible?"

Yuchen said in a low voice, "I don't think it's possible either. But this is what the prince himself said, and there should be no mistake. Yuxi she, she actually ...... "The words later, Yuchen can't go on."

Mama Gui quickly regained her composure: "Niangniang, even if it's true, it has nothing to do with us. "No matter how good Han Yuxi is, he is also their enemy.

Yuchen said: "I'm just wondering, if my grandmother knew about Yuxi's current achievements, would she regret it?" Her grandmother's biggest wish in this life is to revitalize the Han family. If she were to know that her granddaughter, whom she had always disliked, would one day become an empress-like existence, would she regret being cold and alienated from Yuxi at the beginning.

Mama Gui knew that Yuchen was thinking nonsense again, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, Mother Cai has something to do and has been waiting outside for a long time," Mother Cai is a housekeeper in the palace. There's something to do, and there's no time to think about it.

Yuchen immediately calmed down, straightened his chest and said, "Let her in!"

Meng Nian took this portrait and looked at it for a long time, it looked good, but it didn't make people feel fascinated: "It looks no different from those ladies in the capital." ”

Yan Wushuang felt that Meng Nian was stupid: "If she were a girl, she would be as powerful as she is now, wouldn't she become a demon?" Han Yuxi's current tactics are not inferior to him in the slightest, but they have also accumulated for more than ten years, not innately.

Meng Nian put the painting back on the table and said, "I'm just a pity, if Han Yuxi had one-tenth of his current ability when he was in the capital, we wouldn't have missed it." "More than ten years ago, Yan Wushuang installed a lot of people in the capital, but he didn't pay attention to noble girls such as Yuxi.

Yan Wushuang glanced at Meng Nian and said, "There is a talented and beautiful Han Yuchen in the Han Mansion, so naturally there is nothing to do with other girls. "Except for Han Yuchen, the other girls in the Guogong Mansion are not famous, because they are all dim.

Just like the current Achi, because of his good talent, he can learn everything and can draw inferences from one another, so the other brothers are lined like elm pimples.

Of course, Brother Hao is better than Achi. However, because Yuxi realized that this problem deliberately downplayed this gap, and strictly ordered the people in the palace not to compare Brother Hao with the triplets, so the triplets were not affected.

Meng Nian sighed and changed the subject: "Lord Wang, General Qiu said that Lu Gang wanted to return to Beijing, and he has already agreed." Although Lu Gang picked up a life, he was injured all over his body and broke a leg, if it wasn't for Qiu Dashan to take care of him, he would have died a long time ago. Now that he's healed, he wants to come back. It is impossible for Lu Gang to return to the barracks in his current state, so he proposed to return to Jingqiu Dashan and agreed.

Yan Wushuang said: "Since he agreed, he can't break his promise, let him come back if he wants to come back!" Yan Wushuang is still very tolerant of Qiu Dashan's henchmen.

Meng Nian said: "Do you want to return the Lu family's mansion to them?" The Lu family's mansion is still sealed.

Yan Wushuang said: "Lu Lin is now in the West Sea, and he is very prosperous. "The house would rather be deserted, and he is not willing to return it to the Lu family. Although Lu Gang almost lost his life when he was in Liaodong, it was also a credit and demerit.

When Meng Nian heard this, he didn't say anything more.

The second day was the morning meeting. Since Yan Wushuang took power, the court meeting has only been held for two days on the first and fifteenth days of the first month. However, Zhou Yan only sat on it for the past two days, and everything was decided by Yan Wushuang.

After the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs arrived, the normal procedure would be that after everyone gave Zhou Yan a big gift, they would start to do things. Today, it is not destined to be an ordinary day.

Yuchen was dealing with housekeeping when she saw Mama Gui hurriedly walk in.

After the housekeeper went out, Mama Gui spoke: "Niangniang, the emperor said at the court meeting today that he wanted to give the throne to the prince. "It's also Yuchen who is in charge of the housework, so the news is better than before, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten the news so quickly.

Yuchen said with a white face: "What are you talking about?" You said that Yan'er wants to give the Zen position to the prince?" Seeing Gui Mama nodding, Yuchen said, "What is he going to do?"

Mama Gui didn't know what Zhou Yan was going to do.

Yuchen got up and said, "I want to enter the palace." She was going to ask Zhou Yan which one she was singing.

Mama Gui hurriedly grabbed Yuchen and said, "Niangniang, you can't take care of this matter." Yuchen's identity is destined to be wrong no matter which side she is on, and remaining silent is her best choice.

Seeing Yuchen shake off her hand, Mama Gui said, "Niangniang, you can't take care of this matter if you want to." Niangniang, you are not only the emperor's child, you also have the prince and the lord of the county, you also have to think about them. "For Zhou Yan's Zen position, Mama Gui feels that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. King Yan became the emperor, the prince became the prince, and the lord of the county was the eldest princess. Even if his own master can't be the queen, a concubine will definitely not be able to run.

When Yuchen heard this, he suddenly felt that the strength of his whole body had been drained.

Mama Gui thought for a while and said, "Niangniang, to tell you something from the heart, in fact, I think it is a good thing for the emperor to be in Zen. Without real power, it would be better not to be this emperor. "A puppet emperor is not as comfortable as an old woman like her!

Yuchen was silent.

Mama Gui listed the various benefits of Zhou Yan's Zen position: "Niangniang, the emperor is willing to back down by himself, and the prince will definitely treat him well." "It's almost said that Yan Wushuang won't kill Zhou Yan.

Yuchen raised his head, looked at the chattering Gui Mama and said, "You go out, let me be quiet." When Mama Gui walked to the door, Yuchen said, "If the prince comes back, you tell me." "Zhou Yan's affairs, she doesn't care who else cares.

Yan Wushuang was caught off guard by Zhou Yan at that time, but he quickly calmed down. In front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, he said that Zhou Yan was sick and confused, and did not receive Zhou Yan's edict on the Zen throne. But this incident caused an uproar in the DPRK and China. Most people support Yan Wushuang as emperor. After all, they had already taken refuge in Yan Wushuang, and Yan Wushuang was naturally good to them even further. Only a handful of royalists were opposed.

It wasn't until noon that Yan Wushuang returned to the palace.

Meng Nian saw Yan Wushuang and asked, "Lord Wang, who provoked Zhou Yan?" They hadn't heard anything about it before! It's unusual.

Yan Wushuang's expression was very cold: "It's from the Han family." I didn't expect their hands to stretch out so long, and our people didn't even notice it. "There are so many people planted around Zhou Yan, but none of them found anything abnormal, raising a group of rice buckets.

Meng Nian couldn't figure it out, and said: "The mastermind behind the scenes is Han Yuxi, why did she do this? Zhou Yan's Zen position to the prince is not good for her?"

Yan Wushuang said: "No matter what Han Yuxi's idea is, I really did it for this emperor."

Meng Nian was taken aback, but he knew that Yan Wushuang had never thought of being an emperor: "Lord, this is not a trivial matter, we have to think about it clearly." "If Yan Wushuang is the emperor, those royalists will definitely jump out. His own prince is not a good character, and when the time comes, the capital will be bleeding again, which is not what Meng Nian wants to see.

Thinking of this, Meng Nian suddenly came to his senses: "Lord Wang, Han Yuxi encouraged Zhou Yan to take the Zen position, does she just hope that there will be chaos within us, and she will benefit from the fisherman." ”

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said: "Now Yunnan and Guangxi are still at war, and they don't have the strength and financial resources to attack the capital. ”

Meng Nian hesitated and said, "Lord Wang, do you really want to be this emperor?" The momentum in the northwest is getting stronger and stronger, and they are not sure to keep the capital. It is not a wise move to be emperor at this time.

Yan Wushuang said: "Well, if you become an emperor, you will be able to leave a mark in the history books in the future." As for the good or bad name left in the history books, he didn't care.

Without waiting for Meng Nian to speak, he heard Ah Qian's voice outside: "Lord Wang, the side concubine Niangniang asks to see you." ”

Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "Han Yuchen has done his best for this son. After speaking, let Ah Qian let the people in.

Hearing Meng Nian say that he was going out, Yan Wushuang said, "It's okay to listen to it on the sidelines." "Anyway, it's for Zhou Yan's business.

Yuchen entered the house, saluted and asked, "Lord Wang, I heard that the emperor wants to give the throne to the prince, I don't know if this is true or not?" Without Yan Wushuang's confirmation, Yuchen still had a trace of luck in his heart.

Meng Nian said on the side: "Concubine Niangniang, this thing is true. "I have to say that God loves Concubine Han very much, and a thirty-year-old woman is still so beautiful.

Yuchen didn't flinch anymore this time, but asked directly, "I don't know what the prince is going to do?"

Yan Wushuang was able to tell Meng Nian what was in his heart because Meng Nian was his confidant: "Then do you think I should take this position as this emperor?"

Yuchen knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Wang, no matter what decision you make, I just ask you to spare Zhou Yan's life." All she could do was try her best to save her son's life.

Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill him." "Even if he becomes this emperor, he won't kill Zhou Yan. However, after this incident, he will never relax his surveillance of Zhou Yan again.

Yuchen said with a grateful face: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Yan Wushuang sneered and said, "You should also put more attention on Ah Chi and Ah Bao." Although he is unapologetic and strict with Ah Chi, his favorite among all his sons is Ah Chi.

Yuchen lowered his head and said, "I will take good care of Ah Chi and Ah Bao." The palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and she can't bear to suffer any of them.

Back at Ruyi Courtyard, Mama Gui asked in a low voice, "Niangniang, what did the prince say?" Although she hoped that Yan Wushuang would be the emperor, she also knew in her heart that even if Yan Wushuang had this heart, she would not reveal it to her master.

Yuchen sat on the chair and said, "The prince said that he wouldn't kill Yan'er, and he didn't say anything else." However, as long as Yan'er's life is not in danger, it is fine. No matter how much she had, she didn't dare to ask for it, for fear that it would backfire.

This was expected by Mama Gui.

Yuchen said to himself: "It would be nice if I had Yuxi's ability." Not only can you protect yourself, but you can also protect your children. Yuxi suppressed Yunqing to become the real master of the northwest, not only can no one shake her position, but even her children don't have to be wronged.

Mama Gui comforted: "Niangniang, don't think about it anymore. There are thousands of women in this world, but there is also a Han Yuxi. Yunqing was willing to give up power, and this alone shows how powerful Han Yuxi's methods are.

Yuchen smiled bitterly, if Yuxi was not a girl from the Han family, it would have nothing to do with her, and she wouldn't think so much. But the problem is that Yuxi grew up with her, and she has not been as good as herself since she was a child. Now the two of them are one day and one place, how can she not think about it too much.

Mama Gui sighed and said, "Niangniang, it's useless to think too much. "No matter how much you think about it, it's just adding to your own troubles.
