Chapter 172: See the Queen Mother
"Your Majesty?" Jiang Yan whispered tentatively. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A moment later, Mu Lin came out and bowed down to let Jiang Yan in, but he left.
Jiang Yan entered the door and saw that Duanmu Chen should have finished washing, sitting on the edge of the bed in bed clothes, only frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jiang Yan walked to the window silently, picked out the flickering oil lamp, took out a notebook, sat on the couch and read the book.
After a while, Duanmuchen seemed to react, looked at Jiang Yan and said, "Huh": "What are you doing sitting so far away, come here." ”
Jiang Yan put down the book, walked to the bed and took off her shoes, and hugged Duanmuchen from behind: "The concubine is not afraid of disturbing the emperor. ”
"Something on my mind." Duanmu Chen patted Jiang Yanhuan's arm, paused, but asked, "What do you think of the eldest princess?" ”
"The eldest princess?" Jiang Yan was surprised, withdrew her arm, sat on the side and tilted her head to look at Duanmu Chen: "The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor meant. ”
Duanmuchen reached out and touched her long hair: "Auntie, she ......" After a pause, he continued: "Auntie, she was not on good terms with her mother. ”
Jiang Yan's eyes widened in surprise. It's not that after the queen mother closed the palace, it was the eldest princess who took Duanmu Chen, why did the two of them not get along again?
"This matter is relatively private." Duanmu Chen squeezed Jiang Yan's hand, "There probably wasn't much anyone in the palace who knew about it before, but in the future, I probably won't know about it." ”
"Why?" Jiang Yan didn't understand it even more.
"Just ...... My aunt went to break into the Empress Mother's Cining Palace. Duanmu Chen said in a low voice, his expression dark.
What the?
Jiang Yan sat up straight and looked at Duanmu Chen: "Doesn't the emperor have to go and see?" ”
Duanmuchen shook his head slowly: "No need, although the battle is quite big, she still can't get in." ”
Jiang Yan looked at Duanmu Chen on the side, frowning and not knowing what to think, and sighed in her heart.
Listening to the meaning just now, it seems to be ...... Some regrets?
But the roar before she entered the door just now was obviously very angry, and she should have been talking about the eldest princess.
Presumably...... Not only is he angry with the eldest princess doing this, but he also expects Cining Palace to really open?
Jiang Yan stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Duanmuchen again, Duanmuchen smiled at her, and the two fell on the bed, but did not speak again.
Jiang Yan opened her eyes and silently looked at Duanmu Chen's side face, and sighed again in her heart.
This person, now that he is more and more powerful, his mind is becoming more and more difficult to guess.
A lot of times, it's contradictory.
Just like Zhen Xuanwan's incident, Duanmu Chen wanted her to agree, but also wanted her to disagree.
Agreeing is believing Duanmuchen's heart for her, and disagreeing is because she cares about Duanmuchen.
He wanted it all.
Like today's eldest princess, too.
"Your Majesty." Jiang Yan called slightly, I don't know when it started, it was in private, it was just him alone, he was also me, and she could only be a concubine.
It's also good, the emperor should have been the emperor.
Duanmu Chen didn't open his eyes, only let out a "hmm" with his nose, and reached out to hold her tightly: "Sleep." ”
Jiang Yan sat up again and closed the bed curtain, summoned Le Chun, who was on duty at night, to blow out the lights, groped in the dark and touched Duanmuchen's forehead, and sure enough, he was frowning again.
"I'm going to be a little old man." Jiang Yan muttered quietly, stretched out her fingers and gently smoothed Duanmu Chen's brows.
"If I become a little old man, you will become a little old woman." Duanmu Chen grabbed Jiang Yan's hand and squeezed it, "Not sleepy?" So let's do something else? ”
Jiang Yan sneered at him softly, and then closed his eyes obediently in Duanmu Chen's arms.
At the beginning of Yin, Duanmuchen got up to go to court, and Jiang Yan also struggled to get up, squinting his eyes to change his court clothes.
"Don't sleep for a while?" Duanmuchen stretched out his arms funny and asked Jiang Yan to help him sort out his clothes, but a pair of eyes were always on her face.
"Well, I don't sleep." Jiang Yan pressed the corner of her forehead with one hand, "The weather seems to be good today, wait for the concubine to walk to the queen to say goodbye." ”
"After lunch, I'll come back to rest with you." Duanmu Chen lowered his head and kissed Jiang Yan's forehead and said with a smile.
Jiang Yan raised her head, and she also had a smiling face: "Hmm." ”
But in the afternoon, not to mention that Duanmu Chen didn't come to Fengyang Palace, it was Jiang Yan herself, and she couldn't go back.
Because on this day, the Queen Mother, who had been closed for nearly 20 years, opened the palace door for the first time.
Cining Palace, Ning Temple. Jiang Yan followed behind Shen Yaohe and bowed to the Queen Mother on the high seat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please." But it was Yuqiu, the aunt next to the Queen Mother, who spoke.
Jiang Yan looked at the ground, got up with the others, and then sat on the side.
"The Queen Mother, I feel more comfortable today, thinking that I haven't seen the queen and a few mothers yet, so I asked the slave to pass on the will." Yu Qiu said with a smile.
"Where's the Queen?" This is the Queen Mother talking, her voice is slightly lower, but it is also gentle, Jiang Yan raised her eyes slightly to peek, and saw a slightly thin middle-aged woman, who had eyebrows and eyes that were six points similar to Duanmu Chen, which made Jiang Yan feel familiar at a glance, only expressionless, a little colder.
Shen Yaohe got up and took a step: "Erchen see the Queen Mother." ”
The Queen Mother looked at Shen Yaohe carefully and smiled: "The queen sits down, the mourning family just wants to know you." Concubine Zhen is ......"
"See the Queen Mother." Jiang Yan hurriedly stood up and blessed the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother still looked at it carefully for a long time with half-squinted eyes, waved her hand and said, "Good boy, sit down." ”
But he didn't mention Concubine Jing and Concubine De next to him, which made the two of them a little embarrassed and restless.
"Your Majesty, now there are three princes and three princesses?" The Queen Mother asked Shen Yaohe.
Shen Yaohe replied with a smile: "Yes, when the queen mother is in better health, the sons will bring them to talk back to the queen mother." ”
"Just today." Speaking of her grandson, the Queen Mother was also looking forward to it, and a little smile appeared on her expressionless face, "The mourning family feels very good today." ”
Shen Yaohe responded with a smile and looked back at Shuangyu.
Shuangyu nodded, and at the same time took the palace people around the other three to call a few princes and princesses.
"The Queen Mother is well, let's rest assured." Concubine De smiled and started talking, "In the future, the ministers will be able to see the Queen Mother every day, which is really a blessing." ”
The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "The mourning family is only afraid that they will not have time to see you every day." ”
Concubine De was dismissed all of a sudden, her face was very ugly, Jiang Yan glanced at her, and sat upright and didn't dare to say more.
After a cup of tea, Shuangyu and the others brought three princes and three princesses over.
"The Empress Dowager Qiyu, several princes, and princesses have all arrived."
The Queen Mother's expression looked much better, and there was some tenderness in her eyes, and several children looked over one by one without speaking.
Shen Yaohe reminded first: "The eldest prince, this is your imperial grandmother. ”
Several children looked at each other and saluted, "Please Grandmother Huang." ”
Huang'er is the youngest, but at this time she is also blessed, but her arms and legs are still very short, so she shook a few times, but fortunately Feng'er reached out and grabbed her.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing, and asked Huang'er first: "This is the third princess?" ”
