"Get up." Empress Dowager Duan said lightly.

Jing Yan respectfully agreed, holding on to the thick carpet and wanting to get up, but she didn't expect a "buzz" sound in her head, she stumbled slightly, almost dizzy.

Yun Rui's gaze never left her for a moment, and when he saw her figure shaking, he subconsciously rushed over to support her. As soon as his hand tightened, he realized that his hand had been held by Empress Dowager Duan.

Empress Dowager Duan swept Yun Rui's eager face, and then glanced at Jing Yan's pale and emaciated face, feeling sorry in her heart, and secretly sighed to make people happy.

On the edge of the embroidery pier, Jing Yan sat down. She has read a lot of books since she was a child, and she also knows a little bit about medicine, knowing that she is caused by the exhaustion of running around and the lack of qi and blood. But at this moment, when the building is about to collapse, where can we take care of this?

"What does the queen mother think of the son of the king?" Jing Yan asked eagerly. It's about the country, and she doesn't dare to be ambiguous.

Empress Dowager Duan still looked at Yun Rui, not knowing what to think.

"That kid looks honest......

Xiangwang Yu Wenguang is Zhe'er's uncle, but when he was established, his sons were already ten years old. Poor her Zhe'er died without even leaving a descendant...... Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Duan came from sorrow.

She forcibly suppressed her grief, took a deep breath, and looked at Jing Yan: "Zhe'er...... Zhe'er has been married to you for three years, didn't she mention it to you...... Behind...... What is the aftermath? ”

After speaking, the tip of Empress Dowager Duan's tongue was once again filled with bitterness.

Jing Yan was stunned, and his heart was also very sour. She looked at Yun Rui in a daze, and only said after a while: "Your Majesty...... 陛xià mentioned ......"

Empress Dowager Duan knew in her heart, and bowed slightly: "Then that's it." ”

Jing Yan still didn't dare to be very sure: "The queen mother means ......"

Empress Dowager Duan said impatiently: "Aren't you so smart yourself?" ”

Jing Yan was embarrassed by her cold words: "But it's up to the queen mother to decide." ”

"Come less!" Empress Dowager Duan said coldly, "You even received the prince to the palace, the prince's clothes are so well prepared, what else do you want the mourning family to do?" ”

Jing Yan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty...... His Majesty once said, 'Prince Xiaohuai's grievances were too great back then, and this country should have been his sitting, and I would have returned to power with his descendants after a hundred years.' ’”

Empress Dowager Duan snorted coldly: "What 'should he sit'? This world is inhabited by the capable! If the mourning family thought like him back then...... Ay! Don't mention it! ”

As she spoke, she straightened Li Yunrui's clothes, looked at the white little face, and the pair of bright eyes staring at her, and said slowly: "Even so, the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou Dynasty were laid down by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Gaozu after all, so naturally the descendants of Taizu should come and sit." So who is Yu Wenguang? Descendant of King Wu Chenglie. If it weren't for the fact that Yu Wenyi knew the current affairs back then and helped Gao Zu quell the Yuwenxin Rebellion, the Xiangwang boy still doesn't know where he is! ”

Jing Yan is slightly cold. She naturally knew all the past events in the early years of this dynasty-

Wu Chenglie Wang Yuwen Yue is the younger brother of Zu Yu Wentai, who rose up with Tai Zu in that year, overthrew the tyranny of the Yang family of the previous dynasty, and made meritorious contributions, and was named King Wu by Tai Zu. Unexpectedly, he died young. Tai Zu regretted and gave him the nickname "Cheng Lie", which was for "King Wu Cheng Lie". In addition to his eldest son Yu Wenxin inheriting the title of King Wu, he also gave his concubine Yu Wenyi the title of Xiangguo.

I didn't want Gaozu to hold the country during the years, Yuwenxin was proud of his high merits, and he actually questioned Gaozu's qualifications to rule the world as a woman, so he tried to replace him. Fortunately, Gaozu was wise and found out that he had a heart of disobedience, so he preemptively attacked and cooperated with his cousin Yu Wenyi to eliminate Yu Wenxin and his comrades in one fell swoop. After this battle, Yuwenyi established a great achievement, and was awarded the title of "Xiangwang" by Gaozu, and his descendants have inherited it to this day.

Because of this incident, Yu Wenyi's reputation is mixed, with praisers praising him for "killing relatives with righteousness and helping Emperor Gaozu", while most of the detractors are private remarks, saying that he "has long coveted the power of his brother-in-law, and is unwilling to be subordinate, so he simply sells his brother to seek glory".

No matter what the evaluation is, the words "fratricide" cannot escape after all. In the hundred years since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the royal and clan "fratricidal brothers" seems to be a spell that cannot be jumped out, and it will happen once every few years, which can be traced back to the folk rumors that the ancestor forced the Taizu to give way to his own Taihe Palace. This is the first hidden matter of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and no one can say it clearly. In addition, when Gaozu was a young man, he made great achievements in conquering the world as a woman, and was admired by all the people; After ascending the throne, he made great efforts to save the country from danger, and the "prosperous era of Jingyou" made the people live a prosperous life, so this hidden matter was gradually submerged by history, and few people mentioned it.

However, it is also an indisputable fact that the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been bloody and cannibalistic for a hundred years, and many incidents have made the descendants of the clan sparse.

Thinking of these past events, Jing Yan's mind sank, and she couldn't help but look at Yun Rui with pity: This little child is about to get involved in this treacherous court, and she doesn't know what awaits her.

Yun Rui is still ignorant. She listened to the conversation between Empress Dowager Duan and Jing Yan, and she didn't seem to understand, and her little head was no longer enough.

"Gollum—"

Yun Rui was embarrassed and subconsciously stroked his belly.

Empress Dowager Duan chuckled: "Arrow is hungry? ”

Yun Rui was ashamed, and his cheeks were hot.

Empress Dowager Duan didn't care, "Children's families, it is the time to grow their bodies, so they are naturally easy to get hungry." ”

After she said that, she turned her head sideways and said to the maid beside her, "Yujue, let the small kitchen prepare some food quickly...... Well, the crystal cake should be made more delicately, and children love sweets; Put more milk in purple potato soup; Don't make the fish soup very soft, the children don't like it......"

She said seven or eight kinds of food in one breath, and even explained the specific cooking techniques clearly.

Jing Yan was secretly frightened when he heard this: Isn't this kind of food all of Zhe's favorite food?

So...... It's good.

That's the best thing to say.

If he can be loved by his mother, Arrow will have a smoother future path.

Yu Jue nodded "yes" and remembered them one by one. She thought about it for a moment and said, "Why don't you eat some morning food?" ”

Empress Dowager Duan chattered about Zhe'er's favorite food, and when she saw Yun Rui's plain little face, her heart was slightly wider.

"Okay, let's have a bowl of japonica rice and red date porridge."

Yu Jue's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly ran to the small kitchen Zhang Luo, and said in her heart that this wise little master is really a wonderful person, and the Queen Mother can eat something at the moment, which is the best.

For a while, all kinds of food and food are put on the table, colorful, fried and stewed, main dishes and snacks, porridge and desserts...... Seeing Yun Rui's mouth, his belly was even more "gurgling".

"Arrow, try this." Empress Dowager Duan sandwiched a chopsticks crystal cake and put it in Yun Rui's plate.

Yun Rui looked at the crystal clear pastry, looked up at Empress Dowager Duan, and then at Jing Yan, but didn't move. In this unfamiliar environment, only Jing Yan is familiar to her.

"Let's eat!" Jing Yan said with a smile.

Yun Rui is indeed hungry, and it is more than the sky to fill his stomach at this time. She said no more, and buried herself in the food on the plate.

Empress Dowager Duan saw her munching and eating happily, and her dull mood was also relaxed.

"You didn't eat morning food, did you?" Empress Dowager Duan glanced at Jing Yan, who was sitting upright, "Let's eat with the mourning family." ”

"Yes." Jing Yan agreed, owed a debt, and sat down under the Empress Dowager Duan.

Jing Yan's appearance of eating is very gentle, not slow, chewing slowly.

Yun Rui gobbled up for a while, raised his head from the food, and happened to see Jing Yan scoop up a spoonful of porridge soup from the jade bowl, put it in the sandalwood mouth, and chewed and swallowed silently.

She looks so good when she eats......

Yun Rui looked at it blankly, thinking stupidly. She suddenly realized that she was eating roughly, as if she hadn't eaten in her life, like ...... Gourmand. Still, these foods taste so good.

Thinking that she was raised in the house of a small official since she was a child, she naturally didn't have the opportunity to taste the food in the palace.

Yun Rui secretly compared himself with Jing Yan's eating appearance, and felt that he was like a big clam in the well, and Jing Yan was like a phoenix high above, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and felt discouraged.

"Why don't you eat it?" A loving voice rang out.

Yun Rui raised his head in surprise, facing the concerned gaze of the Empress Dowager in the upper section.

Empress Dowager Duan sandwiched a chopstick of purple potato soup for her, "Does Arrow like to eat these?" ”

Feeling the concern from the Queen Mother, Yun Rui's disgust with her previous embarrassment to Jing Yan changed slightly, so he blushed and said, "Hmm...... Loved ......"

She knew that her previous indecent eating appearance had already been taken into the eyes of the Queen Mother, and she was slightly embarrassed.

Empress Dowager Duan smiled with relief, "Ah Rui wants to be the Son of Heaven." The Son of Heaven does great things, and he doesn't have to be limited to small things. ”

yes, why bother with subsections?

Yun Ruiden had two more good feelings for the Queen Mother, so he smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Queen Mother!" ”

Empress Dowager Duan was stunned, her eyes darkened, and then she said, "Ah Rui should call me the queen mother." ”

Queen mother?

Yun Rui paused.

That...... Isn't this queen mother her mother?

She hadn't seen her birth mother since she was a child. After being adopted by Yun Shiduo, her adoptive mother, who was also Yun Shiduo's wife, also passed away before she could remember. Therefore, in Yun Rui's impression, there has never been a "mother" as a relative.

Now, this woman with a beautiful face and rich and elegant clothes wants to call her "Queen Mother" herself......

Yunrui didn't know what to do.

Jing Yan listened and stopped.

She took a brief look at the situation of the old and the young in front of her, and then understood.

"Arrow, the Queen Mother is your royal brother's mother and your aunt. When you become the emperor, you naturally have to respect her old man as the 'queen mother'. ”

Yun Rui tilted his head and thought about it, since Jing Yan let himself be called like this, there is naturally such a reason, right? Anyway, I don't know what a "mother" should look like, so it's not wrong to call my aunt "queen mother", right?

"Mother...... The queen mother ......" she whispered, and finally called out.

Before the words fell, his eyes were dark, his body was warm, and he was encircled in an embrace with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Yun Rui just wanted to struggle, and suddenly felt a wet face-

Empress Dowager Duan's tears dripped down her heart, and rolled down her cheeks along the jet-black hair......

Yun Rui's heart softened, and she let her hug her body tightly.
