Chapter 179, Concubine Chen
Yan Yan didn't know how to answer the Queen Mother's question for a while, so he picked up the teacup, bowed his head and pondered under the pretext of drinking tea. ~with~dream~small~say~ัww~suimะตng~com
"Child, if you have anything to say, don't worry, I will take care of it, and it will never embarrass you, let alone push you into danger."
Yan Yan believed this, since the Queen Mother sent Li Sui and asked Aunt Rong to take away the eunuchs and palace maids in the house, she guessed that the Queen Mother really wanted to protect her, and she was afraid that what she said would be taken out of context by some people who didn't know the severity of the matter, and then hurt her.
But the problem is that the evidence that Yan Yan brought out is not enough to convince the emperor, and besides, she has already said those words in front of the queen mother and the emperor last time, so there is no need to repeat them.
Therefore, after a deep groan, Yan Yan put down the teacup, and replied, "Back to the Queen Mother, the women are indeed a little worried, because the women have discussed with the emperor more than once, the women are really not optimistic about the Jurchen, but the Queen Mother also knows that the women are just a boudoir woman, with limited knowledge and experience, and what she says may not be correct, and others may not believe it, after all, the alliance between the two countries is not something that a small woman can ask about." โ
When the Queen Mother heard this, her brows also knotted.
To be honest, she has not paid much attention to this matter these days, and she admits that Yan Yan's words have some truth, but it is undeniable that the proposal put forward by most of the courtiers to unite the Jurchens to destroy the Khitan is also reasonable, and this point of view is still in the majority in the court.
Therefore, she really didn't understand why Yan Yan was so stubborn in this matter, in the final analysis, Yan Yan was just a young woman in the boudoir, even if she read a lot of books, would those courtiers in the court read fewer books than her?
Not to mention, many of them have personally been on the battlefield, don't they know more than Yan Yan?
and her son, don't look at him chasing Yan Yan to discuss this matter, but that is also based on his curiosity about a boudoir woman, it does not mean that he agrees with Yan Yan's point of view.
And at first, she thought that Yan Yan was talking casually, in order to show her face in front of her son, win a little attention and sympathy, so as to make her life better, but the worry that appeared in Yan Yan's eyes was obviously not so simple, this girl was really worried about this alliance.
How is this possible?
What reason did she have to conclude that the Jurchen was undesirable?
"Speaking of which, I'll ask again, I heard that many of those courtiers are also optimistic about the Jurchen, why are you so opposed?" The Queen Mother asked.
But without waiting for Yan Yan to answer, she continued: "Isn't it too arbitrary to conclude that Jurchen is not honest just based on that little record in the book? โ
"Back to the Queen Mother, there is really no better reason for the women, the women have already said the points, the women know that no matter who we choose to ally with, we are actually gambling on luck, rather than this, it is better not to help each other." Yan Yan took a step back.
How without the assistance of Da Zhou, it is by no means easy for the Jurchen to take down the Khitan, and because the Khitan is restrained by the Jurchens and Mongolia, it should not be able to free up their hands to harass the Da Zhou in the short term.
It's just that the emperor will agree with this point of view?
What's going on with that concubine?
Thinking of Concubine Chen, Yan Yan couldn't sit still, "Queen Mother, let's go see the emperor and the queen, and the women have also prepared some small gifts for them." โ
Anyway, she couldn't run away from Kunning Palace this time, and it just so happened that she also wanted to hear what the queen thought, and she was really a little curious about that concubine.
"Go ahead, you can see her too." Although the Queen Mother knew that Yan Yan wanted to escape her questioning, she didn't stop her.
The main thing is that she knows that the kid who can say it will definitely say it, and it is useless for her to force it if she can't say it.
Coming out of Cining Palace, Yan Yan turned directly to Kunning Palace, who knew that it was a coincidence, at the gate of Kunning Palace, he met a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman wearing alien clothes, this alien woman wore a small braid, the braid was wrapped with a lot of pearls, agate and various gems, I don't know what the maid next to her said to her, she smiled with crooked eyebrows, there seemed to be a little star twinkling in her eyes, but it complemented her full head of jewelry, and dazzled Yan Yan's eyes, so that Yan Yan even ignored the other party's facial features and skin color.
With this small pigtail and costume, Yan Yan quickly confirmed the identity of the other party and hurriedly stood still.
Because Yan Yan didn't look like she was in the palace, and her face was unfamiliar, the other party's first reaction when she saw Yan Yan was to restrain the smile on her face, and then looked at the palace maid and eunuch behind her.
One of the eunuchs must have seen Yan Yan, and took two steps forward and bowed down and said, "Concubine Huichen, this is the nephew and granddaughter of the old man's old man, her mother's family is from the Hou Yan Mansion in Dingnan, and her husband's family is the Lu family of the Duke of Zhenguo." โ
Yan Yan smiled when he heard this introduction, and took two steps forward to bless his body, "The folk woman Lu Yan's family asked Concubine Chen to say goodbye." โ
"Folk women?" The other party seemed to be a little confused when she heard Yan Yan's self-reported title, in fact, she didn't understand what the relationship between the nephew and granddaughter in the eunuch's mouth was, but she knew the Yan family of Dingnan Hou and the Lu family of Zhenguo Gong, so after a short period of confusion, she quickly remembered someone, and there was a bright smile on her face, "I know, your name is Yan Yan, I have heard your rumors, and I like to eat the hot pot and cakes you make." โ
Yan Yan didn't expect that the other party could speak fluent Chinese, and seeing that the other party was smiling so brightly, Yan Yan seemed to understand a little why Li Cong, who was over forty years old, would love such an alien woman.
It is said that girls who love to laugh will not have bad luck, Yan Yan once debated this topic with several roommates in the same dormitory in his last life, and came to the conclusion that because girls who love to laugh are more simple and optimistic, this kind of person is easy to establish a good social relationship with others, so it is easy to get help and guidance from others when there is anything.
One more thing, modern society is so stressful, who doesn't want to see something positive, who wants to face a bitter gourd face or poker face all day long?
And the noble is like Li Cong, he is under more pressure, and he has seen enough of those hypocritical faces in the court every day, and when he returns to the harem, he naturally does not want to face the same hypocritical faces again, so Concubine Chen's face with an obvious healing smile is naturally precious and rare.
Yan Yan is not surprised that this kind of person can be favored, what she thinks is surprising is why the Jurchen would send such a beautiful woman over, and also, is Concubine Chen's personality really as innocent as the smile on her face?
Yan Yan shook his head.
Is it possible for a young girl who has just become a teenager to be far away from her homeland and relatives and to an unfamiliar environment to smile so brightly and movingly in such a short period of time?
At least, she can't.
