In the past, when Yu Wenzhe was there, all kinds of political affairs had his own opinions, Jing Yan firmly remembered that when he was fifteen years old, the day before the wedding, his father's earnest teachings-

"Yan'er, you are smart and calm and not inferior to any man, the way to survive in the forbidden palace, my father believes that you can be at ease. However, there are two things to remember! First, the Son of Heaven is in charge of major affairs of the court, even if His Majesty favors you again, you must not interfere; The second ...... The Queen Mother is really a heroine, you must serve respectfully, and don't rebel against her. These two things, my son must keep in mind, tens of thousands! ”

Therefore, from the moment Jing Yan married into the royal family, he was afraid of making a mistake in front of the queen mother, and greeted and served on time every day.

At that time, Yu Wenzhe was distressed and persuaded several times, but he was gently carried by Jing Yan's gentle words. Yu Wenzhe was more and more moved by this, and often said: "I am so blessed to marry a good wife like Qingqing." Since then, he has been even more fond of Jing Yan.

However, that was when Tetsu was there!

Nowadays, a qiē is a thing and a person.

Since Yu Wenzhe died, Jing Yan wanted to defend the thousands of miles for him, but he was afraid that the Queen Mother would lose her son in middle age and would be unbearable, so he shouldered the burden.

The Queen Mother is her own aunt, since the death of her mother when she was a child, the Queen Mother is the closest maternal family to her bloodline, Jing Yan really feels sorry for her. Even if as her father said, the Queen Mother was a "heroine" when she was young, but when she was middle-aged, she endured such severe pain, where could she afford it?

However, the fact is that she wholeheartedly thinks about the queen mother's phoenix body and thinks hard about this great Zhou Jiangshan, but her aunt only thinks lightly and holds it all in her palm.

Jing Yan knows that he is two pounds, in front of the queen mother, who has rich experience in politics and has experienced all kinds of changes in the palace, his intelligence is just the light of fireflies, which is not worth mentioning. But she gave it her all after all. The most important thing is that the Queen Mother should not be seemingly idle these days, secretly strategizing and keeping herself completely in the dark.

Jing Yan was angry and ashamed, but if the situation was like this, what could she do?

"Queen? Empress! Empress Dowager Duan let out a low cry and recalled Jing Yan's depressed spirit.

Jing Yan was stunned, raised his head, and met the scrutinizing gaze of the Empress Dowager in the upper section.

The gaze was very complicated, as if there was resentment, as if there was forbearance, and there was a point or two of eagerness, even-

Empress Dowager Duan seemed to be shuttling to an unknown place through her face.

Jing Yan is awe-inspiring.

She couldn't understand her aunt and mother-in-law even more.

"What is the Queen thinking?" Empress Dowager Duan had a pale face and raised her eyebrows.

After a moment of silence, Jing Yan was unwilling after all, pursed his lips and said: "The child is thinking, the queen mother is really thoughtful." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Empress Dowager Duan raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was interested.

Jing Yan chuckled, "The queen mother plans the overall situation, and all the major events of the government and politics are in the queen mother's ......."

As she spoke, her snow-jade palm couldn't help but clench the side of her skirt, and then released it in an instant, and she took a deep breath and said, "Child...... I have to admire! ”

"Huh-"

Empress Dowager Duan chuckled, suddenly flashed, and said in a deep voice: "Is the queen complaining about the Mourning family's arbitrariness?" ”

Jing Yanquan didn't expect her to be so straightforward, so she subconsciously got up, lowered her head and said, "The child doesn't dare." ”

"It's not that you don't dare, but you don't complain, right?" Empress Dowager Duan asked.

Jing Yan opened his mouth, but in the end he still spit out a word softly: "Yes." ”

"Hmph......" Empress Dowager Duan heard this, and her voice was cold.

Jing Yan was shocked, and regretted that he shouldn't have contradicted the Queen Mother out of a moment of anger. She hurriedly raised her head and met the eyes of the Empress Dowager in the upper section. At first, I was puzzled, but after concentrating, I was sure that at that moment, I really saw two points in the eyes of Empress Dowager Duan...... Admire.

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and the personal maids standing behind their sons all held their breath, lest the breath would break the silence.

In front of the important ministers of the court, he had a discord with the queen mother, such a situation made Jing Yan very embarrassed.

She's not the only one who is uncomfortable.

Duan Yan saw that the most noble mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Great Zhou Empire had a discordant speech, and they were unhappy with each other, and suddenly felt like they were on pins and needles. He coughed unnaturally and wanted to take his leave. As a foreign minister, it is better not to get involved in this harem contradiction.

No, Empress Dowager Duan glanced at Jing Yan, and suddenly smiled: "The queen complains about the arbitrariness of the family, but what does the queen mean by contacting the British public and contacting the envoys?" ”

Jing Yan's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but confess: "The child is worried that the queen mother's phoenix body will be unbearable...... Bear the bad news, and think about sharing the worries of the queen mother, is it ...... Did the queen mother think that the child was ......?"

Do you think that the child has a different heart?

If that's the case, why did he take Rui into the palace according to Zhe's plan that day?

Jing Yan was aggrieved and bitter in his heart.

Duan Yan looked at the situation in front of him, became more and more uncomfortable, coughed lightly again, bowed down and said, "Since the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have important matters to discuss, the minister will retire ......."

Before she could finish speaking, Empress Dowager Duan rushed and said: "Zhiliang, you don't have to go!" The royal affairs are the affairs of the world, and they are also the affairs of your prime minister's duties. ”

Duan Yan had no choice but to confess and sit back in embarrassment.

Empress Dowager Duan stabilized Duan Yan, and then turned to Jing Yan: "Speaking of Lord Duan, he is also your mother's brother and your elder. ”

Jing Yan had a vague feeling in his heart, but he couldn't refute it.

Empress Dowager Duan said again: "If the queen thinks about the mourning family like this, it is your filial piety." Just ......"

She glanced at Jing Yan deeply: "The mourning family has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, and the mourning family has walked more roads than the bridge you have walked." That's the ...... Didn't the mourning family survive such a big pain back then? ”

Jing Yan listened to Empress Dowager Duan's sad tone, and her heart was also painful.

"Yan'er, you're still too young......" Empress Dowager Duan sighed in a low voice.

Jing Yan's body shook-

Inkstone?

How long had it been since she had heard her aunt call herself that?

Jing Yan looked up in disbelief, but what he saw was that Empress Dowager Duan had already returned to her cold appearance.

"Does the queen think that she has thought everything through and has no omissions?" Empress Dowager Duan asked rhetorically.

Jing Yan hadn't woken up from the Queen Mother's previous intimate tone, so he was stunned and forgot to answer.

"In the current situation, can we rely on the military power in the hands of the generals and the maintenance of the envoys of several states? There is still a word 'reason' in the world! Carry a few knives and kill a few people, and you can suppress the heart of disobedience? How do the Manchu courtiers explain? How does the clan explain? ”

Jing Yan'er heard a few words from Empress Dowager Duan, and the more she listened, the more frightened she became, her eyebrows frowned, and she twisted into a pimple.

She bowed her head and said: "The child is indeed young, and the decision may not be considered thoroughly, but the child still feels that there are external troubles in Beizheng and external troubles in the present, and there are internal worries, the Son of Heaven ...... The Son of Heaven is newly mourned, there are those who covet the throne, and there are those who are rampant and do not keep their duties. The so-called 'fierce medicine to get rid of scabies, heavy canons to control chaos' is also a last resort. ”

Empress Dowager Duan secretly praised, but her face was not revealed: "Although I have been martial since the time of Gaozu, I must know that the matter of swords and soldiers is not the welfare of the people of Li after all." At the moment, the treasury is not abundant, and the big position is vacant, so I can't mess up with myself first, otherwise I will give the Northern Zheng Puppet Dynasty a chance to take advantage of the void. The queen's thoughts, the mourning family understands. All the people of my Great Zhou do not want to reproduce the glory of Gaozu, but the words 'Xu Tu gradually', you have to keep in mind the queen! ”

Xu Tu Progressive ......

Jing Yan chewed carefully.

After this conversation, she seemed to have a new understanding of this Empress Dowager Duan. It was not until this moment that she understood her father's so-called "Queen Mother is really a heroine", and she really commented appropriately.

In this case, the obstacles to Ari's ascension to the throne that he originally envisioned seem to be solvable.

For people who are stronger than themselves, Jing Yan admires.

She then said respectfully: "With the queen mother's strategy, the society will be safe and sound." ”

Empress Dowager Duan didn't seem to be used to her compliments, her eyes slid across her face, and she sneered: "The mourning family will not care about you like you. ”

Jing Yan was stunned. She was sincerely convinced, but she was misunderstood by the Queen Mother.

In this way, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed.

The attendants also breathed a sigh of relief.

Empress Dowager Duan no longer paid attention to Jing Yan, but turned to Duan Yan: "Zhiliang will tell the mourning family what the current situation of the ministers and workers of the previous dynasty is......"

Without waiting for Duan Yan to respond, Empress Dowager Duan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Zhiliang hasn't seen that Yu Wenrui yet, right?" ”

Jing Yan's heart tightened.

Duan Yan's jaw.

Empress Dowager Duan said to Jing Yan: "Empress, where is Arrow?" Why wasn't it with you? ”

Jing Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "After returning to my mother, Ah Rui...... Arrow is now in the Ancestral Hall. ”

Empress Dowager Duan raised her eyebrows: "Fengxian Palace? Where is she herself? ”

Jing Yan's lips pursed into a line: "Before the child, I took Ah Rui to Fengxian Hall to bow to Emperor Gaozu, she ...... She ......"

"How is she?" Empress Dowager Duan said urgently.

Jing Yan's heart was horizontal, and he simply said the truth: "Ah Rui's words are inappropriate, and he has lost his sense of proportion, and the child will be punished...... Punish her for kneeling in front of the throne of the Great Ancestor......"

"What!"

Empress Dowager Duan Huo Ran got up, pointed at Jing Yan and reprimanded, "Nonsense! How old is she? You're going to let her kneel in the empty ground? What to do if you scare her! Really kneeling out of illness, can you afford it, queen? ”

Jing Yan saw that Empress Dowager Duan was really anxious, and she panicked in her heart, she landed on her knees, knelt in front of Empress Dowager Duan, and argued: "Queen Mother! Mother, please listen to the child! Arrow's mistake is not a small one. She had a big fight with her British granddaughter in the Imperial Garden before, and she had no prince style. In the Fengxian Palace, the child taught her because of this, but she talked back to the child, saying that she didn't want to be the emperor anymore! The child thought, although Arrow is smart, but as a monarch, he will do whatever he wants when he is young, and when he grows up, will he be able to pay it back? So let her reflect in front of the throne of the ancestor god......"

"That's it!" Empress Dowager Duan waved her hand to interrupt her and snorted coldly, "But it turns out that it's because she beat your niece!" ”

Jing Yan was stunned. She knew that she had been misunderstood by the Queen Mother again.
