Chapter 461: A strange queen outside Yan Jiufan
When Yan Jiu sat in this position that he had been looking forward to for many years, he thought that he would be very excited in his heart, but whenever he looked at the rows of courtiers kneeling below who were worshipping him, he was not as excited as he imagined, but his heart was more full of bitterness.
Just after the New Year, there was basically nothing to do, and he retired early, Yan Jiu sat in the imperial study, staring blankly at the twists and turns in front of him, but his thoughts slowly began to drift away.
I don't know when it started, he didn't look forward to this position anymore, Yan Jiu recalled it carefully, could it be after returning from Linzi County? After that, this idea began to sprout slowly in my heart, and it became bigger and bigger.
However, no matter how much he didn't look forward to it, no matter how much he wanted to escape, his reason told him that no, there was no turning back, he was no longer alone, there were so many people behind him who unconditionally supported him, and he must continue to move forward fearlessly, not for himself, but also for those behind him who were born and died for him.
What's even more terrifying than this idea is that he actually had thoughts about his brother's wife, obviously telling himself all the time that he can't, but he just can't control himself, and he will always unconsciously look at her and put his mind on her, and in the end, he even has a terrible idea of snatching people over.
Fortunately, his reason defeated the demon in his heart, even if he felt heartache, he finally let go, and then sat numbly in this position, which many people coveted but he hated a little, and then shouldered the burden of Dayan on his shoulders.
"Your Highness, Mrs. Liu is here."
Zhou Wen's voice instantly pulled Yan Jiu out of his thoughts, Yan Jiu frowned slightly and asked, "What is she doing here at this time?" ”
Zhou Wen responded cautiously, "The servant saw that Mrs. Liu was holding something in her hand, and estimated that she should have brought food to His Highness." ”
His Royal Highness sat in the position of King Yan, Zhou Wen was happy at first, but gradually Zhou Wen found that His Royal Highness didn't seem to be too happy, and his temper became anxious, he, a personal minion, also became cautious, for fear that something would make His Highness unhappy, at this time, looking at His Royal Highness's slightly frowning brows, he knew that His Royal Highness was a little impatient, and secretly scolded Mrs. Liu in his heart, it was really more and more eyeless, originally more and more transparent person, I didn't expect it to become like this now.
Yan Jiu listened to Zhou Wen's words, and wanted to say nothing, but thinking of what Li Yue had said to herself at the beginning, he finally answered, "Let her in." ”
After a while, Liu Ying, who seemed to be beautiful and did not eat fireworks in the world, followed Zhou Wen into the imperial study with a tray, and gave Yan Jiu a slight salute, seeing Yan Jiu's head, he went over with the tray, knelt next to Yan Jiu's desk, put down the tray, and said while sending the small bowl in the tray to Yan Jiu's face, "Your Highness, your body is getting thinner and thinner, and the concubine looks distressed, and personally boils blood swallow porridge for you." ”
Yan Jiu bowed slightly, "Let's go down first, Ben...... The widow still has to criticize the folds. ”
Mrs. Liu, who originally wanted to stay for a while, finally responded obediently, "Your Highness remember to eat, the concubine will go down first." ”
When Liu Ying left, Yan Jiu looked at the bird's nest in front of him, sighed, and said to Zhou Wen on the side, "You can take it and drink it." ”
Zhou Wen said in a panic, "Your Highness, this is Mrs. Liu's body for you." ”
Yan Jiu pushed the porridge in front of him aside, and said lightly, "If you don't eat it, take it out and deal with it, the widow is going to be broken." ”
"No." Zhou Wen responded, and then walked out of the imperial study with the blood swallow porridge on the table that was pushed aside by His Royal Highness.
Yan Jiu had been staying in the imperial study until the night, only until Zhou Wen opened his mouth and asked, "Your Highness, where are you going to rest tonight?" ”
Yan Jiu stood up, moved his neck slightly, and answered, "Go back to the dormitory to rest." ”
Zhou Wen remembered what Grandpa Guan had brought to him this afternoon, so he had to speak stiffly, "Your Highness, Grandpa Guan has brought a message again today, Your Highness, you have to have an heir earlier, otherwise this courtier will make trouble again, and the old king said that next time this happens, he will not come forward again." ”
Listening to Zhou Wen's words, Yan Jiu frowned slightly, didn't speak for a while, and after thinking about the two women in his harem now, Yan Jiu finally spoke, "Go to the queen's palace." ”
Zhou Wen listened to Yan Jiu's words and stammered, "The king, the queen in the palace? ”
Yan Jiu glanced at Zhou Wen dissatisfied, "When did you have a problem with your ears?" ”
Zhou Wen hurriedly shook his head and spoke, "No, no, the slave will arrange it, go to the queen's palace, go to the queen's palace." ”
The reason why he was so surprised was because Zhou Wen remembered clearly, His Royal Highness the Nineth, that is, the current king and the queen have been married for so long, the king has never been to the queen's room, and the only time he intended to go was because Mrs. Liu had a miscarriage, and what is even more strange is that the king has never gone to the queen, and the queen should always have a reaction, but the queen has no reaction at all, and eats and sleeps well every day in front of her queen, as if the king does not exist at all.
And why didn't the king go to the queen's room, Zhou Wen knew some reasons in his heart, but the king suddenly wanted to go to the queen, could it be that the king forgot, should he remind the king? Zhou Wen struggled all the way, and when he arrived at the gate of Ronghua Palace, he finally couldn't help but speak, "Your Highness, Your Highness, do you really want to go to the queen?" The queen is a surname, surnamed Su. ”
Listening to Zhou Wen's words, Yan Jiu's footsteps paused, and finally entered Ronghua Palace.
The sudden arrival of the king also startled Su Xiyun, and he didn't care about his hair at this time, so he stepped forward directly and said, "The concubine has seen the king." ”
Yan Jiu was also slightly stunned when he saw the woman in front of him at this time, compared to Liu Ying, only a delicate and lovely face, dry and quiet without a little fat powder, soft long hair casually draped over his shoulders, wearing a light purple silk wide-sleeved gown, such a casual dress, and the queen who had seen him before, both dressed and expressionally dignified and generous in front of people, was a little different.
The queen who listened to the salute in front of her called out to the king again, and Yan Jiu came back to her senses and said, "Get up." ”
In this room, it may be because of the charcoal fire, Yan Jiu's cotton clothes on his body actually feel a little hot, but compared to the cold imperial study, Yan Jiu is willing to be hotter, looking at the layout in this room, as well as a few simple dishes on the table, he feels that the whole person has become warmer.
Yan Jiu sat down at the dinner table and said to the queen who was still standing aside, "You can sit down too." ”
Su Xiyun cautiously sat down at the table, but Yan Jiu said to Zhou Wen behind him, "Prepare another pair of dishes and chopsticks, and the widow will have dinner with the queen." ”
Zhou Wen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered to go down, it is estimated that the subordinates in this Ronghua Palace have already prepared, as soon as Zhou Wen finished speaking, someone came over with dishes and chopsticks, and Zhou Wen hurriedly sent them to his Royal Highness.
Yan Jiu took the chopsticks and greeted Su Xiyun before eating, "You can eat too." After that, he ate unceremoniously.
Su Xiyun looked at her husband, who had been married for so long in front of her and rarely met with her alone, and she didn't come back to her senses for a while, and she didn't understand what the king was doing when she suddenly came to her, could it be that she came to dinner? Looking at the king in front of him eating with relish, it really looks like that.
After being in a daze for a while, Su Xiyun also came back to his senses and touched his unfed stomach, but he didn't plan to wronged himself, so he picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, and both of them ate quietly.
Zhou Wen watched from the sidelines, his eyes widened, for so long, since their Royal Highness succeeded to the throne and lived in the palace, it was the first time to eat like this, looking at the simple meals on the table, it was far worse than the food that the king usually ate, but the king actually ate so deliciously?
And the queen's performance also surprised Zhou Wen very much, is this to grab food from the king? Look at the fragrant food, it's not polite at all, the two of them are bored and hard, or such a simple dish, is it not eaten in this palace or what's the matter?
However, even if he was surprised, Zhou Wen didn't dare to make a sound, seeing that the king finally had a decent meal, he was very comforted, he didn't expect the queen's food here to be so similar to the king's appetite, he had to make a good note of it, and he would do it in the future.
After dinner, Su Xiyun saw that the king was still not leaving, so he said, "It's not too early, the king will go to court early tomorrow morning, so let's go back and rest early." ”
The servants in Su Xiyun's palace, listening to the words of their own master, couldn't wait to rush up and slap Su Xiyun twice, this king finally came to their Ronghua Palace, and their master actually drove the king away.
Zhou Wen was also very strange, looking at this queen with a calm face and taking it for granted, and wondered in his heart, is this queen a fool? How could such a thing be said otherwise? Thinking about the previous queen, Zhou Wen slandered in his heart, it is very likely that the queen is a little stupid.
When Yan Jiu heard Su Xiyun's words again, he was also stunned, and when he saw Su Xiyun's calm expression, he was really a little curious about what kind of person this queen was? Is it the legendary desire to get away with it? It's not like, think about her marrying her like this, this queen's performance is not at all like a person who will play with herself and want to indulge, so she doesn't want to see herself at all?
He doesn't think he's that bad, does he? And with his current identity, Su Xiyun will not want to see him, this is unreasonable, does he have his own sweetheart? This is quite possible.
Yan Jiu, who had guessed the queen's performance in his heart, came to the conclusion that since he had a sweetheart, he would not force him to stay, so he stood up and responded, "The queen also rested earlier." Then he turned and left.
