The next day, according to the rules, Yan Yang, as the concubine, wanted to visit the queen and the queen mother, the two masters of the harem, but because the Chu emperor did not marry the queen, she only had to visit the queen mother.

This queen mother is also a god person, she is not the biological mother of Emperor Chu nor the concubine who raised him, but the former queen. Although she has no heirs, she has always stood tall in the Chu Palace, killing the concubines who want to replace her one by one, and she is a woman with clever means.

Yan Yang grew up in political scheming since she was a child, and she saw the affairs of the harem better than anyone else, and it was one thing to be clear, and it was another thing to participate.

As the child of Emperor Qi's favorite woman, she was more noble than other princes when she was born. She doesn't need to fight with other princes to win her father's favor, as long as she wants, her father will send it to her. But her mother has been educating her not to be pampered since she was a child, she has seen many concubines who are not favored by her father and even the prince being ruthlessly strangled in the black whirlpool of the harem, without any trace.

All with a mask on their faces, in the harem of eating the dead. On the surface, she is her father's favorite child, and she is also the target of the concubines in secret.

Even the "father who doted on her" favored her for some reason, and if she didn't have the ability to survive at the hands of those people, she didn't think her father would be so sad.

The fittest survive, the weak are eliminated, and the royal family will not have real family affection.

And now, if she wants to come to Chu State to marry, there are no people in the harem who are secretly fueling the troubles, she definitely doesn't believe it.

Yan Yang walked to the door of the queen mother's palace and said to the eunuch guarding the door: "This palace came to visit the queen mother, and there is a report from Father-in-law Lao." ”

The person who can be an errand in the Queen Mother's palace is naturally not a short-sighted person, so he hurriedly went inside to report after hearing this.

"Niangniang, the Queen Mother is invited," after a while, the father-in-law came out and smiled at Yan Yang.

"Okay," Yan Yang walked into the palace, it was very big, except for the stone road in the middle, the open space on both sides was full of flowers, competing for beauty, walking through the stone road is a courtyard, and walking through the courtyard corridor will arrive at the Cijing Hall where the Queen Mother lives.

Yan Yang walked into the palace and saw the Queen Mother sitting on the top throne, she looked similar to a noble lady about thirty years old, it was difficult to see that she was the wife of the first emperor.

"Yan'er is here," the queen mother on the stage looked at Yan Yang below with a smile, and wanted to go down to talk to her, but her body was very honest and kept sitting there.

Yan Yang naturally knew that the Queen Mother was polite, after all, they didn't know each other so well when they met for the first time. When you see people in the harem and talk about people, and talk nonsense when you see ghosts, Yan Yang will not be stupid enough to save the face of the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother, the good name spreads far and wide. Yan Er had heard about it in Qi State, but he came in a hurry and didn't come to see him first. Hope for the mother to atone for her sins. Yan Yang lowered his head and said respectfully.

"You child, what do you see, your mother and the mourning family are close friends. Naturally, I have to take care of her daughter. The Queen Mother smiled, "Come, come here, let the mourning family take a good look at you." ”

Yan Yang is naturally not stupid, if the mother concubine has any close friends in Chu State, she will tell her before she comes. The Queen Mother must have a plan for her to be so enthusiastic, although she doesn't know what she is planning, it is better to be sloppy for now.

Yan Yang took a few steps forward, and the Queen Mother looked at her face and muttered: "It's really similar to your mother's concubine, especially the eyes, it's just like touching." ”

Yan Yang saw that the Queen Mother's eyes were getting hotter and hotter when she looked at her, and subconsciously took a few steps back. The queen mother also realized that she was out of shape, smiled awkwardly, invited Yan Yang to sit and talk about family life for half an hour, and asked her father-in-law to go to the treasury to take out a few rare treasures and give them to her.

The so-called gift of the elders is indispensable, although Yan Yang didn't want to accept this generous gift, but it was not easy to shirk, and secretly thought that he would go back to the treasury to find objects of the same value and send them to the Queen Mother.

After chatting about family life, the Queen Mother below pretended to take a sip of tea unintentionally and asked, "Yan'er, when are you and Your Majesty going to have an heir?" ”

Yan Yang didn't know how to answer this question. She and Emperor Chu met once, although she has become a concubine, it seems that Emperor Chu has no intention of moving her. So why would she be stupid enough to provoke a hungry wolf? And even if she doesn't have the favor of Emperor Chu, no one dares to climb on her head by virtue of her identity as the princess of Qi State.

emmm, that's good.

Yan Yang remained silent on this question, in the opinion of the Queen Mother, she was too shy to answer this question.

The Queen Mother gave Yan Yang a look that you don't want to say I understand.

"Someone~ bring the secret medicine treasured by the mourning family." A grandmother came over with a bottle of pills.

The Queen Mother took the medicine bottle in Mama's hand and put it in Yan Yang's hand, Yan Yang looked at the medicine bottle in her hand and it hadn't been screened yet.

"This is a childbirth pill, and if you take this before love, there is a high chance that you will get pregnant." The Queen Mother smiled.

Huan, love, when Yan Yang heard it, his ears were red.

"You, you have to grasp Your Majesty's heart well, and only when you are pregnant with a child can you secure your position in the harem." The Queen Mother said earnestly.

"Yes, Yan'er has been taught," Yan Yang listened to the Queen Mother's words on the surface, put the medicine bottle that was too thick in his sleeve, and wondered in his heart how to throw away the medicine bottle unconsciously.

The Queen Mother naturally didn't know the little Jiujiu in Yan Yang's heart, and she basically understood everything she wanted to know, so she didn't keep Yan Yang anymore.

"Okay, the mourning family is also tired. You go back first, come and see the mourning family another day, the mourning family is in the palace, I guess you are a confidant. The Queen Mother pretended to be sad.

"Yan'er, naturally I will come to visit my mother more, I just hope not to disturb my mother." Yan Yang said with a smile.

"Where is this. The mourning family can't wait for you to disturb more," the Queen Mother said coquettishly.

"That Yan'er, retreat first."

"Good, good," the Queen Mother replied.

After Yan Yang left, her smile froze on her lips, "Go, monitor the situation in the Guifei Palace." ”

"Yes, Niangniang," said several palace maids who came out from behind the curtain and knelt on the ground.

Yan Yang walked out of the palace where the Queen Mother was located, and went directly back to the Yan Yu Hall where she lives now.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, the father-in-law in front of the emperor came to summon the emperor. Yan Yang naturally couldn't refuse, so he followed his father-in-law to the imperial study.

The young emperor asked casually while swaying pen and ink on the paper: "Concubine Ai went to see the Queen Mother, what did the Queen Mother say?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother just talked to her concubines." Yan Yang is a smart person, and at this moment he also saw that there was a bit of a mismatch between the Emperor Chu and the Queen Mother, although he didn't know what it was, but Mingzhe protected herself, and the emperor was still her biggest backer in the palace after all.

"Is that all?" Emperor Chu was very suspicious that the Queen Mother had no heirs, but she had been eager to support the Seventh Prince to ascend to the throne, and I heard the spies in the Queen Mother's palace say that Yan Guifei and the Queen Mother had a very happy conversation today. The Queen Mother is a person who can't afford to be early, and if she has the heart to hook up, the person must be someone related to her plan.

Besides, Yan Yang is the princess of Qi Kingdom, if she also stands on the side of the Queen Mother...... The Queen Mother's mother family pressured the country of Qi, so it was not impossible for the Seventh Prince to ascend to the throne due to internal and external troubles, but he would not give the Queen Mother this opportunity.

Yan Yang was silent on this issue, she really just talked to the Queen Mother.

"Next month, let's go on a private visit with me." Emperor Chu stopped what he was doing, looked at Yan Yang and said. If she takes her for a private visit to Weifu, the Queen Mother will not have the opportunity to contact her, let alone get the support of Qi State.

"Weifu private visit, concubine?" Yan Yang was a little surprised, seeing Emperor Chu nodded, knowing that he had heard correctly, he continued: "Okay." ”

In this way, Yan Yang returned to the palace, packed the luggage to bring, and set off on the fifth of next month, with a week of preparation time, she originally planned to live in seclusion in the harem after marrying Emperor Chu, but she didn't expect that several people in the harem would cut off her back road unknowingly.

For a week, Emperor Chu never summoned Yan Yang again, and Yan Yang would not be stupid to find him, so they were all safe with each other, but that day the Queen Mother learned that the concubine was going to accompany the emperor on a private visit, and smashed a Buddha statue worth a thousand gold that night, and the news reached the ears of Emperor Chu, and he only sneered.

A week later

The people and horses brought by the Emperor of Chu were waiting in front of Yan Yang's palace, and Yan Yang knew that he was leaving today, so he was ready early. When he walked into the carriage and saw Emperor Chu wearing brocade and satin inside, he looked at his dress, just like the difference between a maid and a young master.

"Aifei, how do you wear this kind of clothes?" Emperor Chu frowned and looked at the clothes on Yan Yang's body.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the most popular costume that the concubine brought outside the palace, but Your Majesty's clothes are not dragon robes and wear different auras from other people." Yan Yang looked at Emperor Chu's overly luxurious clothes, wearing them so well, didn't he tell others that he had an extraordinary status?

"What Concubine Ai said is extremely true," Emperor Chu said in a deep voice.

The carriage walked out of the palace and walked in the capital, Yan Yang picked up the curtain and looked at the crowd coming and going, and saw the scene of the imperial capital of Chu for the first time, and suddenly felt a little novel.

"Is it pretty?" Emperor Chu, who was half-squinting beside him, opened his eyes at this time and looked at Yan Yang's sexy and low voice and asked.

"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Yan Yang deliberately left the topic aside.

"When I went to Shonan, there was a flood there, and the people were struggling to make a living." Emperor Chu looked at the book in his hand and said silently.

The reason why Chu was hesitant to support Qi was that a large part of the reason why Chu was hesitant to support Qi was that there was a flood in Chu and there was no way to lend troops to Qi State, and later the Chu Emperor stood up and said that the demise of Qi was harmful to Chu State, and all the ministers reluctantly supported Chu Huang's decision. And the Emperor of Chu made a blood letter at that time, if the Chu State was unable to solve the flood chaos in southern Hunan because of this matter, he was willing to show his guilt and abdicate in front of everyone in the Chu State.

Therefore, when Yan Yang heard that he was going to Xiangnan, he was stunned for a moment. I thought that I didn't have enough money with me, and if there was a flood, I would be short of food and medicinal materials. The floods in southern Hunan are getting worse and worse, and there is also a fault of her Qi country, if it weren't for saving the Qi country, probably the floods in southern Hunan would not have reached the point where they are today...... She wants to compensate the people of southern Hunan for the Qi country.

She opened the burden beside her, and there were a lot of white and flowered silver tickets except for some clothes, "This is all the silver tickets brought out by the concubine, let's buy some food and medicine along the way and go to Xiangnan." ”

Emperor Chu naturally will not refuse, what he needs most to suppress disasters is money, those money, civil and military officials do not come out, the family relatives of the past dynasties do not come out, and the treasury has been hollowed out by the previous Emperor Chu, and now he is filling it with the industry he operates, how can he refuse Yan Yang's kindness? He took the silver ticket from Yan Yang's hand, summoned the guards and told him to use the money to buy food and medicine, and follow them to Xiangnan.
