Chapter 4: Yue Ying (1)

Yue Ying looked at the busy crowd, her heart was slightly nervous, she was a smart woman, so she knew very well the purpose of Emperor Xia Ling's coming to Changhu Bay and Lihu City this time.

Yue Ying is the queen of Changhu Bay, so she has to shoulder the matter of receiving Emperor Xia Ling's family, Yue Ying knows that it is not a simple job to satisfy those queens and concubines, but she thinks that Emperor Xia Ling's queen Li will be satisfied with her arrangement, Yue Ying is familiar with Empress Li's personality, Empress Li is a little vain and a little arrogant, but Empress Li has always had a good impression of her.

Yue Ying had already ordered someone to start decorating from the main gate of Lihu City to the Royal Avenue a few miles away, and on the main road leading to the palace at the main gate of Lihu City, it was also quite gorgeously arranged, Yue Ying knew that these people in the royal family just liked these gorgeous things, although these overly ornate decorations did not match her, but this time she knew that she could not decide all this according to her own preferences.

The palace was also being decorated nervously, and Yue Ying was patrolling back and forth, not daring to be careless in the slightest, because she knew that whether it was facing Emperor Xia Ling or those queens and concubines, one inadvertent could offend the rulers of the Xia Empire.

"Hey...... Do you know where the king is now? Yue Ying looked at the busy servants, and suddenly sighed softly, she turned her head to look at Ah Yao, the personal maid who was following her, and asked softly.

Ah Yao is twenty-five years old, she is a beautiful woman, her father is an ordinary teacher, when Ah Yao was fifteen years old, Yue Ying met Ah Yao when she was traveling, after a short exchange, Yue Ying admired the talent of this girl very much, so she was taken in as a personal maid.

"The king is in the study to discuss matters with Dr. Guan Yu." Yao replied softly.

"Hey......"

Yue Ying sighed softly again, she knew that these things had really worried King Qi recently, and King Qi was pinning more hopes on Doctor Guan Yu, after all, Doctor Guan Yu was a person with outstanding talents.

"Let's go see the kids."

Yue Ying said softly, so she took a step and walked towards the study of the prince Wenliang, Yue Ying knew that her eldest son Situ Wenliang must be making final preparations in his study at this time, and Situ Wenjun and Situ Wenshu must also be following their eldest brother and waiting for King Qi's final call.

Yue Ying still knows her child very well, the prince Wen Liang is really here, he is joking with Wen Jun and Wen Shu, Wen Jun is face is nervous, Wen Shu is smile very happily.

Seeing his children, the corners of Yue Ying's mouth couldn't help but rise, the three children, for Yue Ying and King Qi, are really proud.

Yue Ying walked into Wen Liang's study gently, and Wen Liang, Wen Jun and Wen Shu also saw their mother, so the three of them stopped laughing and scolding, but came to Yue Ying with a smile on their faces, and saluted in parallel.

"Queen Mother, why are you here?" Wen Liang said with a smile.

"I'm here to see how you are prepared, after all, the emperor is coming soon, and we are all waiting for the news at any time, so that we can go and welcome you." Yue Ying laughed, and smiled very sweetly.

"Everything is ready, we won't lose the battle in Changhuwan." Wen Liang said with a smile.

But this kind of words made Yue Ying unable to laugh, she understood what King Qi and Doctor Guan Yu meant, but if she really raised her power head-on in front of Emperor Xia Ling like this, would it really have a deterrent effect? Yue Ying was skeptical, but she couldn't question King Qi's decision, especially since this was the method proposed by Doctor Guan Yu.

"Queen Mother, don't worry too much, no matter what we say about Changhu Bay, we will be crowned kings for generations, and Emperor Xia Ling will never dare to act too arbitrarily." Wen Liang saw Yue Ying's worries, so he comforted her, but Yue Ying only smiled lightly, Wen Liang's words could not eliminate the worries in her heart.

"Queen Mother, how many children does Emperor Xia Ling have?" At this time, Wen Shu suddenly said that she had always been concerned about this issue.

Hearing Wen Shu's question, Yue Ying smiled, compared to the boy who is obsessed with pursuing his father's style, the girl's question is more simple and cute.

"Emperor Xia Ling has a total of four sons, namely Xia Shang, the crown prince born to Empress Li, Xia Lin, the king of Guangping born to the concubine Zhou, Xia Tao, the king of Dongjun born to the concubine Yu, and Xia Zhen, the princess of Qingle." Yue Ying said with a smile.

"And how old are they? And what kind of people are they? Wen Shu continued to ask excitedly.

"The crown prince is twenty years old, the king of Guangping is seventeen years old, the king of Dongjun is fifteen years old like you, and the princess of Qingle is thirteen years old, as for their personalities, I don't know very well, but I heard that the prince has a gentle personality and is quite popular, and the king of Guangping is more brave and domineering."

Yue Ying's words made Wen Shu stand aside and think nonsense, Yue Ying looked at her daughter standing there in a daze, and couldn't help laughing, Wen Jun showed a disdainful look at Wen Shu, and Yue Ying immediately shook her head at Wen Jun, she felt quite helpless about Wen Jun and Wen Shu arguing all day long, and making endless trouble.

Just as Yue Ying continued to chat with the children, he suddenly heard the sound of drumming from the palace, Yue Ying and the children knew that this was the King of Qi who was summoning the order to assemble, and it seemed that Emperor Xia Ling was about to arrive in Lihu City.

Yue Ying and the children immediately went to the main hall to gather, on the top of the main hall, King Qi was there, looking at the assembled crowd, Yue Ying immediately walked over and stood beside King Qi, King Qi saw Yue Ying coming over, he smiled, Yue Ying knew that King Qi was very pleased to have himself by his side, so Yue Ying also smiled gently.

Yue Ying was like this, standing beside King Qi, watching the ministers assemble, the prince Wen Liang and the son Wen Jun stood at the front of the team, and Wen Shu also followed her brother to stand at the front.

King Qi's cronies Doctor Guan Yu, General Luo Bin and others are all here, everyone is solemn, and they all know that this time may be related to the future of Changhu Bay.

King Qi gave an order, and everyone lined up to go to the royal road outside Lihu City, they wanted to meet the royal driver outside the city, it was a matter of royal majesty, and King Qi did not dare to slack off.

Yue Ying rode a horse and followed by King Qi, Lihu City Avenue was surrounded by people on both sides, and the soldiers of Changhu Bay maintained order, and these people wanted to see what kind of person the emperor was today.

Walking on the road, Yue Ying looked at King Qi from time to time, King Qi frowned, Yue Ying bit her thin lip lightly, she was also guilty of not being able to relieve King Qi.

The people of Lihu City obviously love King Qi and Queen Yue very much, the people on both sides of the avenue shouted excitedly from time to time King Qi and Queen Yue, and blessed King Qi and Queen Yue from time to time, Yue Ying waved to the people on both sides of the road with a smile, and she also noticed that King Qi was also smiling and greeting the people, but compared with normal days, King Qi's smile seemed a little restrained.

Outside Lihu City, on the Royal Avenue, Yue Ying stopped with King Qi, they got off the horse, waited here, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Xia Ling, King Qi had already arranged for someone to check the situation on Emperor Xia Ling's side, and after a while, the man rode back on horseback, Yue Ying knew that Emperor Xia Ling was coming, she suddenly became nervous, and looked at King Qi from time to time, King Qi straightened his chest, stood there majestically, swept away his worried look, Yue Ying smiled, this is the man she loves deeply.

Emperor Xia Ling's team drove over and stopped in front of the King of Qi's procession, the King of Qi led everyone to bow down, and Yue Ying also knelt down and bowed with the King of Qi.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The royal avenue was filled with terrifying shouts, Yue Ying raised her eyes slightly, she saw Emperor Xia Ling stepping down from the huge and gorgeous carriage, Emperor Xia Ling was looking at King Qi and the ministers of Changhu Bay with a smile on his face.

"Get up!" Emperor Xia Ling shouted.

"Emperor Xie!" Under the leadership of King Qi, everyone shouted in unison, but Yue Ying just moved her mouth, she was tired of such behavior, but there was nothing she could do.

Everyone stood up, and Yue Ying noticed that Emperor Xia Ling's queen and concubine had not gotten out of the car, and those who followed Emperor Xia Ling down were several young people dressed in gorgeous clothes, which should be the crown prince Xia Shang, Guangping Wang Xia Lin, Dongjun Wang Xia Tao and Qingle Princess Xia Zhen.

Yue Ying noticed that the prince's face showed an unhappy look, while the three of King Guangping, King Dongjun, and Princess Qingle were excited and expectant, but the difference was that King Guangping had a smug smile on his face, while King Dongjun and Princess Qingle felt much simpler to Yue Ying.

Emperor Xia Ling stood there, looking at King Qi with a smile, and didn't speak, King Qi was a little overwhelmed, and Yue Ying could feel the embarrassment at the scene.

And at this time, a tall guard walked up, and when he saw this guard, Gongzi Wenjun behind Yue Ying shouted excitedly, which made many people look at Gongzi Wenjun, which made Gongzi Wenjun feel very shy, and Gongzi Wenjun immediately lowered his head.

King Qi glanced at Gongzi Wen Jun with some reproach, but Yue Ying couldn't blame her child, because she knew that Wen Jun had always admired the guard in front of him very much, this guard was the big hero in Wen Jun's heart, and this guard was Li Que, the hero in the "Battle of Liyang".

Yue Ying noticed that Li Que seemed to be deliberately avoiding Wen Jun's gaze, Li Que walked up with a cold face, he was carrying a cloth bag in his hand, when he walked a few meters in front of King Qi, Li Que glanced back at Emperor Xia Ling, Yue Ying saw Emperor Xia Ling smiled again, that kind of smile really made Yue Ying feel terrible, Emperor Xia Ling smiled while nodding, Li Que turned around and looked at King Qi coldly, King Qi looked at Li Que with an indifferent face, Yue Ying seemed to guess what was in the cloth bag.

"Close your eyes now!" Yue Ying turned her head and reminded Wen Shu and Wen Jun with a stern expression, but the two children were stunned and didn't immediately understand what she meant, and at this time, Li Que had already poured out the contents of the cloth bag.

"Ahh

There were bursts of screams from King Qi's array, but to Yue Ying's surprise, Wen Shu didn't scream, she just covered her mouth and widened her eyes, looking incredulous, while Wen Jun gritted her teeth and showed a complicated expression on her face.

Yue Ying looked at King Qi again, King Qi looked at Emperor Xia Ling with a solemn face at this time, he didn't pay attention to Li Que, because maybe in the eyes of King Qi, Li Que was just a small guard.

"Your former vassals in Changhuwan gave me a greeting gift, so of course I want to return a greeting gift to their feudal king." Emperor Xia Ling said with a smile.

"A very good gift, a gift from the emperor himself, it is a warning to the ministers, and the ministers thank the emperor for his favor." King Qi also said with a smile, but Yue Ying could deeply feel the unwillingness in King Qi's heart.
