Chapter 202: Companion Queen
Spring flowers are blooming, everywhere is new green and bright red, even if the walls and ruins that can be seen everywhere in the capital, surrounded by the lively spring scene, there is also a kind of steaming daily beauty.
In the past year, the people in the capital have experienced too much, parting, fleeing, dying and wounded, returning, and now they are finally on a normal track again.
Yan Fu's experience, even if it is more tragic, is still stronger than ordinary people.
Everything seems to be calm, but under this calm, there is still a whirlpool surging in the dark.
In the Taoxiang Courtyard, several maids were running and playing in the small courtyard with Yan Hanqiu. Because Aunt Caifeng protected her well, Yan Hanqiu was not affected by the war at all, and her crisp laughter echoed over the courtyard.
Her immature little hand clinged to a bright rose flower, took it in her hand and looked at it, and said, "Let's go find my brother and put flowers on my brother." ”
At a young age, she didn't understand that the mixed-race boy, who still had no name, was not born to his mother.
A maid immediately covered Yan Hanqiu's mouth, looked around, and said, "That's not my brother!" ”
Yan Hanqiu was seriously affected by the adult, nodded incomprehensibly, and waited for the maid to let go of her, and said ignorantly: "Okay, it's not my brother." Can I play with him? ”
"Miss Five, let's play in the yard." The maid persuaded.
Since Aunt Chu's death last month, the status of the mixed-race baby with an embarrassing status in the Taoxiang Courtyard has become very delicate.
At the beginning, Aunt Caifeng snatched the child from Aunt Chu, not because she was angry that she had a son, but because she was ruthless to knock Aunt Chu down. As soon as Aunt Chu died, this child was no longer of any use to Aunt Caifeng.
However, Aunt Caifeng promised Yan Qingge that she would raise this boy as her own son.
I can't throw it away, it's disgusting in front of me, and I can't ignore it, it's really sad.
Yan Hanqiu played for a while, but he got tired and went back to the house to be coaxed to sleep. The two maids who were waiting for her went outside, sat down together and whispered and chatted, and as they talked, they talked about the boy.
"You say, how bad my aunt should be now, obviously she wasn't born by herself, and she still has to be an ancestor to provide for her."
"You really treat him as your own child when you are an aunt. Now the city is not as good as before, what can't be bought? Not to mention goat milk, cow's milk, even the nurse is not difficult to invite, but the aunt still eats rice soup for the little ancestor. ”
"Our fifth lady didn't stop breastfeeding until she was two years old, and the child was only three months old."
"Hey...... Don't say it, we can't do that much. ”
The chatter of these two maids did not reach Qingxingyuan.
Yan Qingge is now facing another big trouble.
Qingxingyuan ushered in two aunts who wanted to take her into the palace, in the name of the queen, and asked her to stay with her for a long time.
Yan Qingge was puzzled.
However, Yan Xiuyu had to escort more than 600,000 northern barbarians to be placed in various parts of the Great Zhou, and he did not return to Beijing at all. Ling Xiao also followed her husband Shui Mu to guard outside, but she was not in the capital, and she didn't even have anyone to consult.
Once, the crown prince forced the queen to agree to marry Yan Qingge, which was very unpleasant. It stands to reason that the queen should not like Yan Qingge, and whoever she looks for to accompany her will not find Yan Qingge to accompany her.
But the trouble is that time has passed, and Yan Qingge can't tell what the relationship between the queen and the crown prince is like now.
Last year, there was a big chaos in the capital, and the emperor was at the place where he favored the concubine, and only took the concubine away, and he didn't care about the queen at all, or the prince divided half of his own guards to Fengzao Palace, so that the queen barely escaped.
The heavenly family is ruthless, and it is vividly reflected by the events of that time. Among the people that the queen can trust in her heart now, the crown prince is probably still above the emperor.
After all this, the current queen, even if she doesn't like Yan Qingge, if the prince insists on marrying Yan Qingge, maybe the queen will really agree.
Therefore, for a while, Yan Qingge really couldn't understand the intentions of the mother and son of the Heavenly Family.
This time she entered the palace no more than usual, she could bring a maid, and Yan Qingge naturally brought Ruyi.
There was everything in the palace, Yan Qingge just packed a small package and led Ruyi out.
The carriage swayed, arrived at the gate of the palace, stopped, and the aunt who brought her led her Ruyi, and slowly walked towards the deep palace Yan Qingge This is the fourth time she has entered the palace, and the third time she has also lived in Zhongcui Palace as a show girl, but today is different, today she went to Fengzao Palace.
The palace wall is extremely high, and the warmer the spring day, the more cold the shadow of the palace wall casts.
Ruyi followed Yan Qingge, lowered his head, trembling, like a little ant that broke into the nest of an anteater.
The palace doesn't look any different than it used to, except that there are fewer people coming and going.
After entering the Fengzao Palace, Yan Qingge was immediately invited to see the queen.
I saw that on the high queen's throne, the queen in apricot yellow dress sat dignifiedly, and her eyebrows were always dignified and kind.
She smiled slightly, beckoned to Yan Qingge, and said, "Give Miss Yan a seat, sit close and let me take a look." When I was in Yuhu City, I was busy with affairs, and I didn't have time to see you. ”
Yan Qingge obediently walked to the queen's head and sat on the drum stool that Mama had brought her newly.
The queen looked at Yan Qingge carefully, this girl was very different from the last time she saw her.
Her skin is not as fair as before, but it looks much shinier, she has grown a lot taller, not much better than ordinary men, her body is not as slender and weak as before, but her every move is full of vitality.
Especially her eyes, which have changed the most, even if they hang down slightly, without looking directly at her, you can see the light in those black eyes, as if under her long black eyelashes, two stars have been placed by heaven.
In the past, when the queen saw Yan Qingge, she would always sigh at the miracle of the creator, because Yan Qingge and her mother Le Rou really looked too similar, although the subtleties were a little different, but at a glance, everyone would see Le Rou when she was young.
Now, her facial features are still very similar to Le Rou, but her temperament and form are completely different, and even if you are not very familiar with the mother and daughter, you can't see their similarity at all.
If Yan Qingge had been like this a few years earlier, her stupid son might not have taken a fancy to her.
The queen sighed in her heart, shook Yan Qing's singer with a pleasant face, rubbed Yan Qingge's palm, which was still a little rough, and said, "Good boy, you have suffered hardship." I've heard about you, and your wedding date will not be finalized until the little prince Yan comes back. Before getting married, he was in the palace to prepare for marriage. ”
Hearing this, Yan Qingge breathed a sigh of relief, the queen meant that her marriage with Yan Xiuyu would not be yellow.
She said gratefully: "Thank you Niangniang, the palace is the most supportive, Qingge is blessed, and can accompany Niangniang in the palace." ”
The queen said a few words to Yan Qingge, and the big palace maid beside the queen walked in and whispered: "Niangniang, the eldest princess of Roufu asks to see you." ”
"Invite her in, just Qingge is also there, so let their aunt and sister-in-law get close to each other first." The queen laughed.
Not long after, Princess Roufu walked in, her eyes fell on Yan Qingge, swept it, and smiled sweetly at the queen: "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Roufu has also returned to Beijing? Is Lord Yan okay, if you need anything at home, just ask. The queen said to Roufu closely.
Roufu smiled: "I haven't gone home yet, I'm going to visit the imperial sister-in-law and my brother first, the family has its own horses to go to work, the imperial sister-in-law don't feel sorry for him." ”
Roufu looked at Yan Qingge again, and said with a smile: "Imperial sister-in-law, why did you call my little daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, she is a stupid girl, she is only afraid of disturbing the purity of the imperial sister-in-law." ”
Yan Qingge's heart sank, knowing that the queen and the eldest princess of Roufu had begun to fight.
The queen was full of smiles, didn't answer the words, and turned back to the palace people standing behind her: "I remember that the day before yesterday, the palace only entered a batch of tribute incense, it is the new orange blossom fragrance made in Nanling this year, Roufu favorite, change the agarwood in the incense burner." ”
Roufu was the most clever, and immediately shut up about it, and told the queen about her recent events.
Yan Qingge listened with her neck hanging on the side, although the queen and Roufu's words were vague, Yan Qingge was not the kind of little girl who didn't understand anything, she even guessed and figured out a lot of things.
It turned out that Roufu and Yan Wangye did not flee to Qingzhou at that time, but stayed in the suburbs of Beijing. Listening to the secret meaning of their words, when the second prince was called emperor, he suddenly abdicated in the capital, which has nothing to do with Prince Yan. Emperor Jingzhong was not in this year, and the situation was basically controlled by Prince Yan.
The more Yan Qingge listened, the more frightened she became, she vaguely felt that her entry into the palace this time did not seem to be so simple, but closely related to Yanwangfu, it seemed that she had been completely tied to the ship of Yanwangfu.
Yan Xiuyu killed the Northern Barbarian King's Court, captured the Northern Barbarian King, and collected hundreds of thousands of Northern Barbarian armies and hundreds of large and small tribes, such a merit shocked the past and the present.
And Prince Yan was in a dangerous place, guarding near the capital, and even forced the second prince with different intentions to abdicate.
Compared with the emperor who has been cowering in Yuhu City, it is self-evident who rescued the Great Zhou and who has worked hard.
The merit is high and the lord is talking about the two brothers of the Yanwang Mansion.
And what Da Zhou is most afraid of is not that Yan Xiuyu is proud of his achievements, but that many Northern Barbarians call him the King of the Northern Barbarians, hoping that Yan Xiuyu can lead them back to the grassland and rebuild the royal court. That's the scariest thing.
As a teenager who is not yet 20 years old, it is difficult to resist the temptation of such rights.
She was called to the palace, just to contain Yan Xiuyu and make him give up the opportunity to become the king of the Northern Barbarians.
But once Yan Xiuyu reverses, Princess Roufu and Prince Yan may escape by virtue of their identities as the eldest princess and concubine, and their previous achievements in guarding the capital, but Yan Qingge's life will be difficult to protect.
Thinking about this verse, Yan Qingge's heart was born peacefully.
She believes in Yan Xiuyu!
The queen changed the topic, looked at the flat lower abdomen of the eldest princess Roufu, and said with concern: "Roufu, you are going to celebrate your twenty-fourth birthday this year, you have been married to the palace of Prince Yan for seven years." ”
"Sister-in-law really remembers clearly. It's a pity that this year, the capital is full of waste, waiting to spend money everywhere, and I and Lord Yan don't love these in the first place, so we don't plan to spend money on Nalaosh's birthday. Roufu said.
"It's really boring to celebrate the birthday of two people, if only you had a man and a woman! Later, when you leave, call a few doctors back to recuperate well, although you don't have the urging of your in-laws, your knees have been empty for so long, and you have to pay attention. The queen said lightly with her thin lips.
